    Payam is the reason I chose this episode to listen to. Type his name into your podcast search and you will be inspired by any interview you find. Rainn and Payam, thank you both for your truth and your optimism. You are both proof that belief is best when discussed and questioned, not merely adhered to. Thought is the answer. And of course love.

    Much love to you Rainn! Thank you for your book. I really loved the audiobook. Very entertaining and enlightening. I made sure to take notes. Thank you for being concise and direct. It helped me to remember the message because it wasn’t a ton of word salad to fill space.

Existentialism for the Modern Soul w/ Millennial Therapist Sara Kuburic
Q: How do you help people unpack that in a therapy session? If you see these different ways they're in denial?
I see clients resist responsibility all the time. Sometimes it's about the dumbest things. It's really self-deceit in terms of how they showed up. I try to shift the focus on their current actions and what they can control rather than solely on their past.
Steve from Blue's Clues Sits Down in Our Thinking Chair
Q: How did you address your mental health challenges after Blue's Clues?
I eventually reached out for help and sought therapy, acknowledging that my problems were manageable with the right tools.
Steve from Blue's Clues Sits Down in Our Thinking Chair
