In this episode, we dive into what it means to approach mental health from a soul-centered perspective—and why traditional models might be ready for an upgrade.
I’m joined by Steven, a mental health entrepreneur, licensed psychotherapist, and creator of Spiritual Workout: Mental Health For Your Soul. Steven shares his fascinating journey from corporate life to clinical practice, and how he’s now building a low-tech, high-touch counseling model designed to reach underserved communities at scale.
We explore grief, conscious living, and why mental health needs to be both practical and spiritual to help people truly thrive. Whether you’re navigating personal growth, healing, or entrepreneurship, this conversation offers powerful insights into mental health, soul work, and creating meaningful change.
Steven began his career as a self-described “corporate hack” before reinventing himself as a psychotherapist and ultimately founding Spiritual Workout. He’s passionate about democratizing mental health care and creating innovative solutions for healing and transformation.
Steven is the author of An Extra Year: Grief and Loss in the New Age and writes The Conscious Politics Op-Ed on Substack. He lives in the mountains of Southern California, balancing clinical work with writing and visionary entrepreneurship.
