John sits down with mental health coach, author, and speaker Judith Belmont to unpack why our thoughts shape so much of how we feel, and what we can actually do about it. Judy breaks down Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in a practical, down-to-earth way, from spotting cognitive distortions to managing anxiety, reframing stress, and building real resilience.
It’s an encouraging conversation about self-talk, self-worth, and learning to see yourself with a little more compassion (and a lot less pressure). If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, stuck in your head, or just human…this one will land.
