Monday Mental Tip Do Things Poorly

Author: Popped Collar Productions September 1, 2025 Duration: 14:49

Monday Mental Health Tip Time, talking about the human tendency to wait to act until we feel sure of success, and what that can cost us in experiences. 

Big thank you and shout out to the folks who appeared on and helped the Live Stream for Overdose Awareness yesterday. That audio will be showing up in the feed soon. 

Thanks to: Isabel Teran, Ryan Luis Rodriguez, Robb Maynard, Ben Haslar, Dylan Schlender, Mike Lundsford, & Dr Delice Coffey for jumping onto the stream and sharing so openly. 

 


Ever wondered what happens when you take the serious, often intimidating world of psychology and run it through a filter of genuine curiosity and humor? That’s the space where The Broken Brain lives. Produced by Popped Collar Productions, this podcast sits at a unique crossroads between education and comedy, offering a therapist’s perspective without the sterile clinic feel. Each episode is structured as an organized panel discussion, gathering voices to unpack a wide variety of topics-some unexpectedly silly, others leaning into practical, self-help territory. You’ll hear real therapeutic points of view applied to everyday life, all within a conversation that feels more like a lively chat among insightful friends than a lecture. The result is an hour (ish) of content that aims to demystify mental health concepts while acknowledging the inherent messiness and humor of being human. Tuning in provides a refreshing blend of learning and levity, making complex ideas accessible and surprisingly entertaining. This isn't about jargon or quick fixes; it's about thoughtful exploration with a dose of relatability. The panel format ensures multiple angles are considered, offering listeners a richer understanding than a single host could provide. So, whether you're navigating your own challenges or just fascinated by how minds work, this podcast delivers a compelling mix of insight and irreverence.
