Podcast 55 - Taking Inventory for the New Year

Tue, 21 Dec 2021 11:00:00 -0500

As I reflect on 2021, I have realized I get a little too rigid about doing the many activities that I enjoy.
Sometimes, it's better to just take a break, and remind yourself why you love these activities in the first place.
Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season!

Sun, 06 Sep 2020 20:00:00 -0400

Mon, 31 Aug 2020 20:00:00 -0400

While social media can be an excellent way to expose yourself to new cultures, methods of thought, and beautiful vistas, it can also be a cesspool and an echo chamber. Here's my take on how social media (mainly IG) has affected my mental health. My apologies for the occasional shifting sound!

Day 37 - Don't Compare Yourself to Others!

Thu, 23 Jul 2020 20:00:00 -0400

Everyone's journey is unique, and just because one person is at a specific point in their life doesn't mean they "have it all figured out".

https://linktr.ee/clarkmasterson

I was inspired to speak on this topic after finishing one of my favorite book series ever.

https://linktr.ee/clarkmasterson

Day 31 - I Used to Take Myself WAY Too Seriously!

Wed, 01 Jul 2020 20:00:00 -0400

Interview with Kal Regarding White Supremacy in the USA

Sun, 07 Jun 2020 20:00:00 -0400

Day 20 - Mental Health is NOT One Size Fits All

Tue, 02 Jun 2020 20:00:00 -0400

Mental health, even when two people have the same diagnosis, manifests itself in completely different ways. The important thing is to assess what makes YOU anxious and why YOU feel that way. Only then can an effective, proactive healing process begin.

https://linktr.ee/clarkmasterson

Day 19 - The Importance of Having Consistent Hobbies

Mon, 01 Jun 2020 20:00:00 -0400

This is her story, told straight from the source.
