The Quickie: Take Control Of Your Mental...

Gillian Berner
About this episode

It’s mental health awareness month, and it honestly feels like there’s more people than ever before struggling with anxiety, depression and mental health issues. So this week we’re diving into a helpful tool for building the foundation of your mental health, using the Life Force Method from Jonah Hill’s therapist, Stutz. 

The method builds on the three levels that are key for our emotional wellbeing: our relationship with our body, relationships with others, and our relationship with self. This simple pyramid can be a real game-changing check-in when you feel your mental wellness start to slip. 

Tune in to hear more about:

  • My personal experiences managing my mental health, and the pillars I use 
  • Stutz’s Life Force Method Pyramid
  • Taking care of your physical health and body 
  • How exercise can help you transform emotions
  • Nurturing supportive relationships for better mental health
  • Why you should cut out toxic people
  • Tools to cultivate a better relationship with yourself
  • Setting goals and finding purpose 

Our show is produced by:

  • Gillian Berner, Host, Producer & Editor
