Pieces To WellnessJoy That Heals, Not HidesThis week, the Instigator and the Yogi are unpacking joy. As usual, we're taking a slightly different approach, Tim calls it a perspective slap. We're digging deep and distinguishing manufactured or performative happiness from true, authentic joy. In our increasingly online, social media world, we're all constantly being sold products, experiences, interactions that we're told will make us happy/bring us joy. We challenge this by saying that joy, as a key element of mental health, is an inside job. It's up to each of us to create the joy that resonates for us. But how?Joy...

2025-09-2444 minPieces To WellnessSuture Your FutureHow do you suture your future? What does that even mean? Suturing your future means doing what you can now to impact your future in a positive way. It means setting yourself up for success in terms of your mental-emotional-physical-spiritual well-being.To be honest, 'cause that's what we do here, the stuff that sutures your future is generally not flashy or sexy. It's things like preparation and repetition. Getting your stuff together the day before, every day. Doing your meditation or movement practice at the same time every day. Routine reinforces wellness. We don't need to be...
2025-09-1722 minPieces To WellnessSuicide Awareness MonthSeptember is Suicide Awareness month. For our first episode of September this year, we're talking about the difference between active and passive suicidal ideation. First of all, it's normal to think about suicide. It's much more common than most people think (a study from the NIH found that over 10% of the U.S. population experiences passive suicidal ideation in their lifetime). In this conversation we discuss the difference between passive thoughts and actively making plans to take your life. If you or anyone you know is having active suicidal ideation - meaning the person has made a plan to...

2025-09-0335 minPieces To WellnessTune Up - Checking InWho likes lists? In this month's Tune Up, we're checking in and listing off the various pieces that are meaningful components of our wellness. Some are tangible tools (like lists) that help us manage our time and stay on track with our values. Others are less tangible qualities like courage, vulnerability, and friendship that we try to cultivate through our practices.If we think of all of these pieces like ingredients in the recipe of life, we can recognize that not everyone needs the same amounts or even the same ingredients to live their life on the...
2025-08-2712 minPieces To WellnessForgivenessFree- Not under the control or in the power of another. If you want to free yourself, forgiveness is part of that process. Free your self with forgiveness, unchain yourself from those wounds and move forward in a healthy manner. No hate, no retaliation, no extra weight, just eyes forward and keep moving step by step. This week the Instigator and the Yogi attempted to tackle forgiveness and they did not hold back (or disappoint). Forgiveness offers many positive benefits, including reducing unhealthy reactions to anger, releasing stress and cortisol, lowering blood pressure, as well as r...

2025-08-1340 minPieces To WellnessGuided MeditationThis week's episode is short and sweet, and hopefully one you'll come back to over and over. One of the pieces that's been especially transformative for Karen's wellness is meditation, and this week she shares a guided meditation.Before the guided meditation, Tim and Karen describe what meditation is, and what it's not. We even try to dispel some of the myths about meditation. One of the most common myths about meditation is that if you find yourself having to refocus on meditating over and over, then you're doing it wrong. In fact, refocusing on meditating over...
2025-08-0616 minPieces To WellnessHelping Others w/CormacThis week we're delighted to welcome Cormac, a counselor from Ellie Mental Health. We met Cormac recently at the open house for their new office in Clifton Park, and knew we had to get him on the podcast!

While he works with people across the whole age range, he specializes in working with children/teens, and especially boys. We talked a lot about the various s...

Better yet, what are they up to all the time?During a recent interview (tune in next week for that conversation), a guest asked us what our mission is.

2025-07-2313 minPieces To WellnessChecklist: Pieces To Our WellnessThe title of our podcast, Pieces to Wellness, can be interpreted in several ways. One is that wellness is like a puzzle and the image on the puzzle that we aspire to is different for everyone. Wellness is a broad, holistic concept with many interconnected parts. This week, we list as many parts or pieces as we can think of - those that help us most and those that we struggle to remember to implement.We don't suggest that you try to put the whole puzzle together in one sitting, and you especially don't have to do...

This conversation is sure to boost your spirits, warm your heart, and maybe even inspire some faith in the inherent kindness of humanity.Leon shares his story of what inspired him to step away from a life that looked "successful" on the outside, but was deeply unfulfilling to him personally. In search of the lived experience of kindness, he journeyed to many places around the world, relying on the kindness of others to literally sustain him as he traveled. As...
2025-07-0942 minPieces To WellnessTune Up- RuminationThis week's episode discusses a common feature of depression and anxiety known as rumination. Rumination is also described as overthinking, and like many other symptoms of depression and anxiety, it tends to fuel itself. Ultimately, when we're ruminating, we're not being present or mindful, we're retelling old stories and/or anticipating possible future scenarios worriedly. While these thoughts may be attempts to protect ourselves, they are generally not helpful, and often completely untrue.The antidote to rumination is mindfulness. But when you're in the grips of repetitive ruminative thinking, how do you break free? We share some...

That's why we share tips, tools, strategies to keep you on the wellness side of the spectrum.We also believe that mental health is essential to overall wellness.

2025-06-0457 minPieces To WellnessRoutine Maintenance - Why It WorksRoutine maintenance is part of the regular vocabulary here on Pieces to Wellness. This week, we explore the origin story behind this favorite term.Once a month, we do a quick "tune up" episode. Each of these shorter episodes explores one or more practical tools we have in our mental health tool kit. You know, the ones that keep us on the wellness side of the spectrum. These tools are well-used and dog eared showing how regularly we put them to use. Tim first shared this term in his book, and this week treats us to a...
2025-05-2818 minPieces To WellnessWhat Is Vulnerability?Vulnerability - what does it look like, what does it feel like, how can befriending vulnerability support growth and healing? We're breaking it down and putting it all out there this week.Tim and Karen open up about how much each of our relationships with vulnerability have changed over the years. We share how we've masked our authentic selves with things like sarcasm, people-pleasing, numbing behavior. Vulnerability is often uncomfortable, and all too often many of us avoid it, believing that our defenses will keep us safe. However, as mental health warriors, we have learned (generally the...
2025-05-2128 minPieces To WellnessMental Illness Is My Superpower: A Conversation With TaylorYou've probably heard the saying, "What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger." And while we don't wish tragedy on anyone, it is also true that sometimes we don't know what kind of strength we possess until we are faced with adversity. Real super heroes are known by their scars, not by accolades. This week we welcome Pieces to Wellness friend, Taylor Locke. Costume or no costume, Taylor is a true mental health superhero. Taylor wears many hats in the local, state, national, and even international mental health advocacy community. The challenges that Taylor has overcome, the resi...
2025-05-1439 minPieces To WellnessStepping Stones: Balancing Difficult FeelingsIt's often said that healing is not linear. Some people compare it to a spiral in which you uncover new layers and lessons over time and can travel up & down, back & forth. In this week's conversation, we focus on some of the ways in which we each have learned to feel the most difficult feelings and navigate through them. These are our stepping stones. There's also a misconception that healing = happiness, sunshine, and rainbows. And while we are likely to experience more happiness as we heal, we are also likely to experience many o...

2025-04-3005 minPieces To WellnessA Conversation On Depression **This week on P2W: Let’s talk about the big D—**depression. A listener asked us to dive into this topic, and we’re going all in. Depression looks different for everyone. For both Tim and Karen, it’s been a long-time companion. In this episode, we unpack how it shows up—as a darkness, mask, a thief, a fog, even an octopus—and share our own experiences. Karen sees it as numbing; Tim as a deep disconnection. We also explore how we live with depression without letting it take the wheel. From challenging unhelpful though...
2025-04-2344 minPieces To WellnessShake Your Foundation: Reframing EditionWe are big fans of metaphor here on Pieces to Wellness, and this one's a doozy. This week we're exploring the idea of shaking your foundation. If we think of life as a house, what do you do when your foundation is damaged, or hasn't been poured properly, or other areas in the house start falling apart? The subtitle of Tim's book is: "Life is a DIY project. This is a DIY book". That's what this conversation is all about.As with most things, the hardest part is getting started. Getting beyond our own resistance and digging...
2025-04-1630 minPieces To WellnessDear Aaron: Trena’s MemoirThere is no timeline for grief.This week we are grateful to welcome Trena to the podcast. Trena shares her story with us all while she talks about her new book “Dear Aaron” One things that rings true for most people, maybe even universally, is that healing is not linear. There are two big points in life… the day we are born and the day we leave this world. Maybe what matters most is how we walk the path during whatever time we have between those two points. Trena talks about a “shift”...
2025-04-0943 minPieces To WellnessTune Up - Stigma SmashingBack in the garage this week for a stigma smashing tune up! Each month, these shorter tune up episodes focus on routine maintenance practices that keep us on the wellness side, and the tools we each actually use when we're faced with life's challenges. This month we're talking about medications. There continues to be a stigma associated with the use of psychotropic medications to manage mental health challenges. We have each been on the receiving end of judgmental comments about the use of medications, shaming those who use them. To us, no one has the right to s...

If you're new here, we like to talk about topics that others shy away from.

Reducing stigma is one of the things that opens up space to move toward wellness.Talking with Marie was a grounding, comforting experience. She is a death doula/end-of-life...

This is part 2 of Karen and Tim's exploration of Don Miguel Ruiz's book: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom. To recap, last week we reflected on our experiences with the first two agreements: Be Impeccable with Your Word, and Don't Take Anything Personally. The Four Agreements is part guidebook, part spiritual reflection, part tangible practices that support living a life aligned with your values. These practices are not for the faint of heart, and that's why we dive i...
2025-03-1925 minPieces To WellnessThe First Two Agreements- Part 1 Of The Four AgreementsWelcome to a Pieces to Wellness book discussion! It's not quite a club (yet), but from time to time, we'll be talking on the podcast about articles, books, artwork that we've found inspirational or helpful on our own journey. One of the books Tim and Karen both take tremendous inspiration from is Don Miguel Ruiz's book: The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom. In this book, Ruiz talks about the various self-limiting beliefs that steal our joy and increase our suffering. Based in ancient Toltec wisdom, The Four Agreements offers practical behaviors that o...

2025-03-0541 minPieces To WellnessTune Up- ResentfulWe are back in the garage this week and talking resentment. Karen and Tim do not try to define it but instead share what it is for them and how they experience it. Resentment can keep you from moving forward, as if there was an anchor keeping you in that moment of the original pain. Karen and Tim both agree that there is a fairness piece to it. Maybe Resentment can teach us when something unfair happened and paying attention to it can actually help us in what to look out for. Karen suggests to ask...
2025-02-2617 minPieces To WellnessClean Out The Yuck In Your CupA common phrase in wellness/self-care spaces is, "You can't pour from an empty cup." Yes, we agree. AND If your cup is overflowing, or full of yuck (read: self-limiting beliefs, self-doubt, old unhelpful narratives), you're bound to make a mess with what's in your cup. So periodically, routinely, it's important to clean the yuck out of your cup. Discern what serves your wellness, what doesn't, and make changes accordingly.Once your cup is empty, fill it with goodness, not garbage. What are some ways to empty your cup? Feel into your body to se...
2025-02-1925 minPieces To WellnessHealthy Patterns w/ Jen PliskoWelcome back! Our guest this week is Jen Plisko, LCSW, therapist, and PIVOT relationship coach. She shares with us her love for mental health counseling, and from her deep well of expertise in DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) and PIVOT relationship coaching. One of the PIVOT tools is to consider interpersonal relationships through the lens of safety instead of love, develop appropriate boundaries, and act accordingly. We love giving voice to new tools, tangible action steps people can take to take care of all our different parts, and show up as our healthiest selves. Here's a question to a...
2025-02-1243 minPieces To WellnessExpectations- A Dangerous LineA favorite line from 12-step groups is, "Expectations are premeditated resentments." In this episode, Tim and Karen dig deep into the degree to which expectations are also dangerous, especially for those of us with mental health challenges. To us, expectations are based on beliefs, which start as thoughts. One more reason to notice when you're thinking negatively is so you can stay mindful of it becoming a pattern of thought which over time can grow into expectations that are inaccurate, based in negative thinking, and false beliefs. It's important to regularly examine your beliefs and expectations to s...

2025-01-2937 minPieces To WellnessThe Willingness To Be DislikedHappy first birthday to us!!To celebrate one full year of weekly podcasts, we're staying the course. Getting uncomfortable, breaking down stigma, and digging deep. This week Tim and Karen explore being willing to be disliked. We start with what people pleasing is like, at least in Karen's experience - different people experience people-pleasing differently. For many, it's about getting other people to like you, but there's often a dissonance between the "you" that is presented to others and the authentic, real you. Letting go of people pleasing tendencies and behaviors is a journey for...

2025-01-1554 minPieces To WellnessThe Mirrors TruthWhat do you see when you look at yourself in the mirror? Do you think that reflection is the truth?Many things can affect how we see ourselves, with or without a metaphorical mirror. Past experiences, present state of mind, general sense of self regard, and concerns about the future all play a role in how we each see ourselves. If you struggle with your self image, finding one thing you like about yourself and anchoring your attention on this item can improve the way you see yourself slowly but surely. Like so much of the healing...

We're sharing our approach to focus instead on realizations. January 1st is another day, another opportunity to reflect on your habits and realize what actions will help you get closer to reaching your goals.Many of us can be impatient with ourselves - if we focus all our attention on the perceived end result, we are likely to miss all the small steps that need to happen each and...

2024-12-2538 minPieces To WellnessTune Up - S.A.DWell, it's that time again. Time to check in for your monthly tune up!Each month, we take our mental wellness vehicle into the proverbial garage for some routine maintenance. This month, we're talking about S.A.D. which stands for Seasonal Affective Disorder. Mental Health America describes S.A.D. as a subtype of depression or bipolar disorder that occurs and ends around the same time (season) annually. Seasonal depression symptoms generally begin in the fall and can continue throughout the winter. Many people experience mood shifts this time of year that are likely related to...
2024-12-1815 minPieces To WellnessHabits That HelpIf you're a regular Pieces to Wellness listener, you have heard us talk about our own "non-negotiables", those activities that are essential for us to maintain our own holistic wellness. We also like to discuss the distinction between helpful and unhelpful habits. This conversation brings both of those topics together. One of the reasons we talk about habits consistently is because it's repetition that establishes an activity as a habit. Consistency is key. And sometimes it's those simple, mundane things that are absolutely essential to setting yourself up for success and wellness. Whether it's hydrating...

2024-12-0445 minPieces To WellnessHow Does Feeling Unsafe Affect Your WellnessWhat makes you feel unsafe? The answer to this question is different for everyone. This week's episode is an exploration of how feeling unsafe can be holding us back while also pushing us forward. What makes you feel safe? This answer can also be different for everyone. For many, feeling safe comes from a predictable environment. When your environment becomes chaotic, that's when things start to feel unsafe. Many people want everything to be in our control, but we know that's not realistic or even possible. Thriving amongst unpredictability can occur only if we embrace the unknown...

2024-10-3031 minPieces To WellnessPoky Little PuppyDoes slow and steady win the race? Pull up a chair and let's talk about it!When it comes to making progress on our mental health goals, we have determined that slow progress is better than rushing toward our goals. Rushing makes us more likely to miss steps, make mistakes, and lose our way. Slowing down gives us a chance to pause and respond instead of reacting abruptly. It gives us a chance to enjoy the road we're on rather than fixating on an imagined destination.We all move through life at different speeds. Some...

Timber is a bestselling author (Buddhist Boot Camp, Faithfully Religionless, The Opposite of Namaste), a fellow podcaster, and so many other things. He shares his wisdom and inspiration with us freely and joyfully.Years ago, Timber found himself living an unfulfilling life. Like being stuck on a conveyor belt, slowly marching toward a pre-determined future over which he felt he had no control, Timber asked himself, "Is this it?" And the answer was a resounding, NO! Timber shares that part of...

For so many of us, being ignored is associated with some of the worst feelings there are. Especially when all you want to be is seen, heard, included.Feeling like a ghost in a crowd can be a terrible feeling for someone who feels as if they took a huge chance putting themselves out there in the first place. For some, to be seen is all we want. For others, it takes a great deal of courage to be willing...

Time to check in for your monthly tune up!This month we get to know the difference between active and passive suicidal ideation. First of all, it's normal to think about suicide.

2024-09-1812 minPieces To WellnessWhat Would Jordan Say?This week Tim and Karen team up in Jordan's absence to tackle another difficult topic. What should we do when life gives us lemons? The ups and downs of life can be overwhelming at times. One minute things are going well, then we're thrown a curve ball that knocks us out completely. One step forward, three steps back. This can be especially stressful if you're trying to be perfect, always chasing perfection. Perfection is an illusion, it's not real.What good we've done can be overshadowed by expectations, anticipating certain outcomes for our efforts. Living life to...
2024-09-1132 minPieces To WellnessBoundaries For BeginnersThis week, we're talking about boundaries. With a topic as complicated and as difficult as boundaries, it's best to start at the beginning, taking a beginner's mind approach. Karen admits to being a beginner at boundaries for a number of reasons. First, there is an important difference between setting boundaries and maintaining boundaries. We shouldn't be setting boundaries when we're in a heightened emotional state (and, when we're dysregulated, it's even more important to maintain the boundaries we do have). It's best to converse about boundaries when you're feeling stable emotionally so that conversations are less likely...

This month, we're doing our routine maintenance on distractions. Distractions can be helpful and/or unhelpful.

We all distract ourselves from many different things - in this conversation, we're focusing primarily on distracting ourselves from uncomfortable emotions.

This week, the Pieces to Wellness crew is applying this saying to ourselves.

About 5 years ago, David experienced a cascade of events resulting in numerous symptoms of trauma, including chronic anxiety and extreme insomnia being held in his body. He found that he did not have the skills to alleviate his symptoms, and mainstream practices like talk therapy were not successful for him. So he forged his own self-guided path which included studying Eastern spirituality and somatic psychology. One of the key components to David's healing has...

2024-07-3111 minPieces To WellnessAll About That BASElineThis week's conversation covers all the bases. Most importantly, what does it mean to return to baseline? An often overlooked, but exceptionally important component of mental wellness is familiarizing yourself with your own personal baseline. We like to think of baseline as ground zero, the point at which you are regulated, at homeostasis. When life throws multiple stressors at us, and we are challenged by time and/or lack of access to our wellness tools, we may quickly find ourselves above or below baseline.A small inconvenience can bump us up to a 3. A major catastrophe can...

One true privilege that a fortress offers is the ability to extend protection to a chosen few. Something Jordan refers to as "selective vulnerability".But...

2024-07-1056 minPieces To WellnessThe Art Of SufferingThis week on Pieces to Wellness we discuss the art of suffering. Suffering is defined differently by each individual who experiences it. Like stress, suffering to some extent is a natural part of life. There is a Buddhist saying, "Pain is inevitable, suffering is optional." Through this week's conversation, we've concluded that the acceptance of pain and suffering, and the meaning we assign to these experiences become the lynch pin that turns suffering into a teachable, meaningful experience.What causes suffering? Many things. Unrealistic expectations, physical/emotional pain, loss or defeat, material fixations, financial hardships, and death...
