On this episode of the 'Candid Thoughts Podcast,' I interviewed Davis Cohen, founder of https://allcolorsonelove.com/. As a child of the 60s and from the Deep South, David had witnessed racism amongst his peers. For a lifetime, he has stood against racial injustices and preached understanding for all people, regardless of race. We'd had lunch on Martin Luther King Jr. Day in 2023 and had this very insightful conversation, which David wants to impart to young people.

In this "Golden Nugget" segment, I'd discussed the power of manifestation through daily mantras.100 years ago, French psychologist Emile Coué wrote a book called “Self Mastery Through Conscious Autosuggestion.” It details how to manifest positive thoughts and motivation towards goals. In repeating his mantra “every day in every way, I am getting better and better,” 20 times a day in a monotonous tone, it was proven in a case study [at the time] to render results. I’ve applied that principle with my teams in this mantra: “We Stake Our Claim, We Take What’s Ours, We Will Have What We Deserve.” When you’re feeling demotivated, you can create your own mantras that are congruent to your needs and ambitions. No matter how you’re feeling, there’s always that second wind that can spark out of nowhere... or from within. 🙂Subscribe to the ‘Candid Thoughts Podcast’: https://linktr.ee/AlphaPhantanaShow some solidarity in original content and consider supporting the #CandidThoughtsPodcast via #Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/CandidThoughtsPodcast. #mesmerism #hypnosis #selfmasterythroughconsciousautosuggestion #positivity #emilecoue #keepmovingforward #cantstopwontstop #entrepreneurship #motivation #yougotthis #keeppushingforward #youcanbebetter #teammongoose #bizreb #candidthoughtspodcast

DISCLAIMER: This episode is a conversation that predates the Candid Thoughts Podcast. It addresses a very marginalized topic that must be discussed.  In today's society, there's a push for mental health advocacy. Not many people know that narcissism is an actual mental disorder classified in the DSM-5. When having the conversation regarding narcissistic behaviors, the common discussion focuses on male narcissistic tendencies. However, women are just as likely, if not more than men, to have psychological conditions. According to a 10-year study conducted by Medco Health Solutions, 25%, or 1 in 4 women had been proven to be prescription drug users for antidepressants and antipsychotics. This, contrasted to 15%, or 1 in 7 men. Study details were written in this HuffPost article: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/women-and-prescription-drug-use_n_1098023. Considering the mental health statistics, however, common conversation predominantly maintains that narcissistic behavior is relegated to men. Numerous men are silent victims of narcissistic women, who can abuse and manipulate men, which can often lead to divorce, false accusations, among other consequences. Here's a personal account of such behavior in this Medium article: https://medium.com/@AlphaPhantana/fellow-survivors-of-narcissistic-abuse-2b84137d9faa. This video's discussion, hosted by Isabelo Pascual, with comedians Michael C. Hall & Zach Handa, addresses first-hand accounts of the largely unaddressed topic of narcissistic women, and the damages they can do to themselves and others.You will also learn how to identify the red flags of narcissism in both men and women. #mentalhealthawareness​ #femalenarcissist​ #narcissistabuse​ #menmatter​ #cancelculture​ #malesuicide​ #nofaultdivorce​ #sex​ #sexualnarcissism​ #covertnarcissist​ #howtodealwithanarcissist​ #narcissistnomore​ #knowingthenarcissist​​ #narcissistnorome​ #narcissist​ #mentoo​ #antisocialpersonalitydisorder​ #borderlinepersonalitydisorder​ #mentalhealth​ #falseaccusations #avoidantpersonalitydisorder #timetoheal
