  #29 Navigating The Waves of Anxiety

  Feb 18, 20261h 6m

  In this episode, Dr. Hannah Korrel unpacks her journey from a structured military upbringing to becoming a neuropsychologist devoted to understanding the human mind. She shares how anxiety shaped her path, why neurodiversity must be understood rather than judged, and how early detection of mental health challenges can change the trajectory of a life. This conversation goes beyond labels and diagnoses. We explore vulnerability as strength, emotional regulation as a learned skill, and the silent ways mental health impacts relationships, leadership, and workplace culture. Dr. Korrel offers grounded, practical tools for building fulfillment through better sleep, intentional nutrition, consistent physical movement, and honest emotional communication. If you want a deeper understanding of how your brain shapes your behavior, and what you can do about it, this episode delivers clarity, science, and real world application in equal measure.

  #28 ADDICTION: Why you use alcohol to silence the noise (with Rick Coluccio)

  Jan 7, 20261h 18m

  "I had a couple of drinks and the noise stopped... and that is how alcoholics are born." We often think of addiction as the guy under the bridge, but what about the successful leader who drinks to "unwind" every single night? Rick Coluccio is a former music producer turned Recruitment Leader (Host of Recruiting EQ ) who lived the "rockstar" lifestyle until his liver almost failed at 19. In this episode, Rick peels back the layers on "High-Functioning" addiction. He explores how we swap one vice for another (alcohol for work, food, or sex) not to have fun, but to soothe an internal scream that we refuse to hear. In this episode, expect to learn: The "Soothing" Trap: Why addiction isn't about the substance; it's about using external things to manage internal emotions. The Generational Curse: Growing up in a house of normalized depression and how to break the cycle. Swapping Vices: How you can be "sober" but move your addiction to sex, food, or work. Corporate Masks: Why the higher you climb in leadership, the more fake the people around you become. Don't just listen. Do the work.

  #27 ANXIETY: Why Your Mind Puts You In Stress (with Craig Harper)

  Dec 10, 20251h 6m

  "I was a millionaire at 30... and I was f king miserable."** Most men think that if they just get the money, the body, or the status, the internal noise will stop. Craig Harper is living proof that it won’t. Craig isn't just an Exercise Scientist and PhD Researcher ; he is one of Australia’s leading high-performance coaches and the author of seven books. But before the accolades, he was an obese kid nicknamed "Jumbo," and later a highly successful entrepreneur who found himself empty at the top. In this episode, we dismantle the "Success Trap." Craig explains why your body physically believes the lies you tell it (creating chronic stress) and how to rewrite your internal operating system for genuine fulfillment, not just achievement. Expect to learn: The "Arrival Fallacy": Why reaching your goals often leaves you feeling emptier than before. The Biology of Stress: How your internal story is physically keeping you in "fight or flight." Real Transformation: Moving from "knowing" what to do, to actually doing it. Don't just listen.
