  Aug 18, 202648 min

  Saving a loved one isn't about drama, ultimatums, or "fairness", it’s about doing what actually works. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon sits down with Amber Hollingsworth, Master Addiction Counselor, founder of the Hope For Families Method, and creator of the popular YouTube channel Put The Shovel Down. Amber built a global movement by rewriting the rules of recovery, showing families how to guide loved ones toward help without waiting for them to "hit bottom." Tune in as Sharlee and Amber unpack a radical, connection-first strategy: trading outdated stigmas for "invisible interventions," disarming denial, and protecting your own sanity while making real headway.

  The Safety Trap: Why Over-Medicalizing Childhood is Failing Our Kids with Dr. Will Dobud – Episode 465

  Aug 13, 20261h 4m

  Modern parenting hasn't made children safer; it has just burdened them with the weight of adult anxieties. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon sits down with Dr. Will Dobud. Dr. Dobud is an award-winning researcher, educator, and social worker recognized for his international expertise in youth mental health and clinical excellence. He currently serves as a Senior Lecturer at Charles Sturt University, Australia’s largest social work school, and has a distinguished career practicing across the United States, Australia, and Norway. As the co-author of the new book “Kids These Days,” Dr. Dobud is a leading advocate for "positive deviance," challenging harmful industry fads to create environments where teenagers can truly thrive. Today, I’m joined by Will to explore the "wicked problem" of youth mental health by examining how modern interference, over-medicalization, and the "safety trap" are harming adolescent development, ultimately offering "positive deviance" and a return to risky, independent experience as the keys to truly empowering the next generation.

  Beyond the Label: Reimagining Giftedness, Perfectionism, & Connection with Mark Talaga, LPC – Episode 464

  Aug 11, 202654 min

  Brilliance without connection breeds isolation, and the ultimate goal of supporting gifted minds is building deep relationships, not just academic success. In this episode, host Peter Fenger sits down with Mark Talaga, Licensed Professional Counselor and founder of the Center for Identity Potential. Mark brings a unique perspective to mental health, having transitioned from a career as a video game developer to specializing in the developmental needs of gifted and neurodivergent individuals. As host of the Hopelessly Gifted podcast, Mark advocates for moving beyond outdated models of pathology, helping families and educators recognize that many struggles are simply signals of a mismatch between an individual and their environment. Together, Peter and Mark explore a vital shift in how we view giftedness, moving away from clinical labels toward systemic strategies for managing perfectionism, asynchronous development, anxiety, and the unique complexities of modern screen culture.

Together, they explore the science behind Dr. Fotuhi’s new book, “The Invincible Brain: The Clinically Proven Plan to Age-Proof Your Brain and Stay Sharp for Life”. Dr. Fotuhi unpacks his revolutionary 12-week program, sharing how simple everyday habits, from Mediterranean eating and deep sleep to managing cortisol and even embracing boredom, boost blood flow, spur brain-derived fertilizer, and literally expand the memory center of your brain.
