Your Mind Matters: A Mental Health Awareness Month Podcast Collection

May is Mental Health Awareness Month. But the truth is, taking care of your mind is a year-round practice. It's found in the quiet moments between meetings, the drive home after a hard day, the walk you take when you need to clear your head. And sometimes, it's found in a voice coming through your earbuds that makes you feel a little less alone.

This collection brings together some of the most powerful, honest, and hopeful conversations from across the iHeartPodcasts network. Because mental health isn't one story. It's anxiety and grief and burnout and joy and everything in between. It's therapists breaking down the clinical, and survivors making sense of the personal. It's scientists explaining what's happening in your brain and storytellers reminding you that being human is hard, and that's okay.

You don't have to listen to be fixed. You can listen to feel seen. To learn something. To find language for what you've been carrying. To hear someone say the thing you've been thinking but couldn't say out loud.

Hit play when you're ready. Or when you're not. Either works.

  • The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills: Shame Management: The Hidden Driver of Men’s Rage

    The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills: Shame Management: The Hidden Driver of Men’s Rage
    May 5 2026

    Dr. Steve Poulter is back for Part 2 of our conversation, and this time we go straight to what he calls the hidden engine behind so much male anxiety, isolation, and anger: shame. Dr. Mills and Dr. Poulter break down how shame takes root early, why men often externalize it in ways that damage relationships, and why “anger management” is often really “shame management.” Plus, Dr. Poulter shares practical ways to get out of the “invisible/disrespected” spiral and explains why naming shame—especially around trauma—can be the turning point that finally lets healing (and even marriages) move forward.

  • Deeply Well: "Take Your Life Seriously” with Nedra Glover Tawwab

    Deeply Well: "Take Your Life Seriously” with Nedra Glover Tawwab
    Apr 30 2026
    Today we sit with our very first guest of Season Five - therapist and bestselling author Nedra Glover Tawwab, who talks about what it means to “take life seriously” through intention, and why success doesn’t have to start perfectly. Her new book, The Balancing Act, is about learning the difference between “tolerable annoyance and abuse and neglect,” so we stop cutting people off for normal friction and end up lonelier. She reminds us, “we are in charge of our phone,” and sometimes the healthiest move is just not answering, without turning it into a relationship-ending talk. What is a healthy community? Tawwab jokes about how important our interactions are, even with the baristas at our local cafe. Every interaction, especially the reliable day-to-day interactions hold value, and often can be healthier than the relationships we put the weight of expectations on.  We also elaborate on "how useful it is to know how you show up in the world" and not get pigeonholed into an attachment style. Therapy and our conversations shared within those sessions are to help us identify our patterns and why and how they show up, and create outcomes that don't align with our desires. Tawwab points out these scenarios, how they’ve shown up in her life, and allowed her to acknowledge how she’s grown. As always, we end the episode with soul-work. Nedra offers the question: “What is your relationship with offering people grace, extending it to yourself as well?Connect with Nedra Website https://www.nedratawwab.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nedratawwabConnect with Devi:Website: https://devibrownwellbeing.com/ Substack: https://substack.com/@devibrown Living In Wisdom Book: https://www.devibrown.com/book Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/devibrown/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deeplywellpod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/devibrown?s=21&t=… Merch: https://devibrown.myshopify.com/ Threads - https://www.threads.com/@devibrownSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
