About our Guest Phil Barth
"On August 5, 2015 I took a surprise visit to the cardiac wing of Bethesda North Hospital in Cincinnati.
I suffered what was labeled a "small" heart attack. I remember thinking "if this is small I'd hate to see medium."
Per the advice of my Doctor I changed my diet, started exercising more and decided to work on controlling stress.
For the past five years I have published a daily list: Great things that happened today. Each day I celebrate the great things that happened. Since I started this journey I've met some fascinating people, discovered new recipes and celebrated life. And I've laughed a lot.
I even wrote a book on the subject - it's an International Best Sort of Seller (it went to #1 on free books when I released it... that's sort of a sale).
For my 15 minutes of fame, I was on the game show "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in 2003."

"When I first came to mindfulness and meditation, I thought it was you had to sit with a very quiet mind, you couldn't have any thoughts. And I was thinking, how is this going to happen? And I've learned over time that it's really just allowing the thoughts to move back and forth, recognizing that they're there, I almost kind of wave at them and say, oh, hey, how are you?"
In this episode, we feature Erik DeRosa, a former financial analyst from New York who found peace and mindfulness in the mountains of Colorado. Erik shares his story of how he left the fast-paced city life to become a ski instructor and how skiing helped him beat stress and anxiety.
Key points:
Skiing is not a competition, but an experience to be savored and enjoyed.
Spending time in nature, whether on the mountain or just outside, is a key way to combat depression and anxiety.
When feeling stressed, find a special place in nature in your mind that you can go to as a way to beat anxiety and stress.
Through his journey, Erik emphasizes the importance of living in the moment and finding peace in nature. He shares his tips and insights on how to get the most out of your time on the mountain and how skiing can help you find balance and inner peace. Join us as we explore Erik's journey to mindful skiing and learn how to bring mindfulness into your own life.

The AI Episode
Like so many, I have been fascinated by the emergence of ChatGBT, an accessible AI that can write poetry, recommend travel plans and yes generate text for a Podcast. Combining this with other tools, such as Descript and Pictory, I created this AI Mental Health Podcast. This is a total experiment and I would love your feedback, good or bad and what these kinds of tools will mean going forward.
In addition to the audio podcast, you can watch the video here on another platform.
Here are the Steps I used to Create this Podcast.
Access ChatCBT to generate the Text
I Entered the Following text:
I want to create a new 15 minute episode of my podcast. Here is the show description. Can you generate topics and copy for a new episode?
Most conversations around mental health can seem kind of heavy. Is there a way to promote our mental and emotional well-being in a fun and entertaining way? Join Sean Bloch each week as he explores the FUN side of mental health by digging into simple hacks and fun tips to make your mental health journey more enjoyable and your brain a little happier.
Access Pictory to paste the text from ChatGBT to create the video. https://pictory.ai?ref=sean72
Access Descript to generate my AI Overdub Voice by pasting the text from ChatCBT.
Return to Pictory to add the Overdub voice to the video.
Create the final video.
In summary, I created an entire episode of Happy Brain with no original though and no use of my voice except for the introduction.

In this week's episode of Happy Brain, host Sean Bloch takes a step outside of his usual fare and ventures into the world of spiritual clearing. Joining him as a guest is Alida Morrill, an expert in the field with over 12 years of experience helping people get and stay balanced.
The episode is an experiential and hands-on journey through a spiritual clearing process, with Alida guiding listeners through the process of ridding their minds of stinking thinking and clearing their energy of contaminants. While the topic may be a departure from the norm for Happy Brain, it is certainly thought-provoking and a must-listen for those interested in exploring alternative approaches to mental wellness.
However, it should be noted that there is a trigger warning for the topic of suicide mentioned in the episode. The guest does talk about the tragic suicide of her ex-husband, but the episode itself does not address the issue.
For those who are intrigued by the concept of spiritual clearing, be sure to check out Alida's website (https://energybalance4you.com/) and LinkedIn profile (https://www.linkedin.com/in/alida-morrill-909a41a/). Open your mind and enjoy this unique episode of Happy Brain!
About our Guest Alida Morrill
Alida has been helping people get and stay balanced for over 12 years. She ensures that their energy is clear of all contaminants and especially non-beneficial energies. These energies are very common in our world and most people are unaware of them. The most important aspect of Alida's processes is that she helps her clients rid their minds of stinking thinking...something that can bewilder any one of us.

“How would your life change if you were an exceptional communicator? There's so much fear and stigma and stress around communication, whereas for me, communication is sending a video message to somebody that you really love spending time with. It's ordering food at a restaurant and making the waiter for once in that shift feel really happy. It's about making new friends, about raising our families. And our children, and once we realize that we get a lot more motivated to practice all of this,” - Brenden Kurmarasamy
Why is it so important to be a good communicator in terms of your mental health? We talk with Brenden Kumarasamy, an expert communication coach and teacher about ways to set boundaries in important relationships in your life for better mental health!

My husband and I chose the word PERSISTENCE for 2022 to encourage us to continue showing up day after day -- to keep coming back -- to consistently do the work -- and to get back up when we inevitably fall.
I don't know about this one. I'm happy for those it helps, but was an atheist I'm not really into hooky stuff :/
Okay so then not specifically 10:30am, but more like four-ish hours after you wake up. The example in the quoted article gave a 6:30am wakeup time, and it goes to figure that four hours later you're already dying. Basically, if you're gonna guzzle an entire pot of coffee, at least try to space it out in four-hour increments throughout the day. Got it!
If you didn't start singing "Listen to Your Heart" by Roxette when they were instructing listeners to do just that, then I really don't think we can be friends. You're either too old, too young, too cool, or too boring, and I'm kinda looking for a Goldilocks setup.
I have a serious lack of motivation to do the things I know I should, so I have various "uniforms" that I don to help put me in the mood to get busy: for housework, an apron that my mom made me; for writing, a NaNoWriMo t-shirt; for food delivery, a doordash t-shirt... I feel so much more inclined to WORK when I purposefully dress for the occasion. So this study makes total sense to me.
