   When Success Still Feels Empty: Finding Your Way Back to Yourself | Ali Christos

   What happens when you get the money, the recognition, the relationships, and the life you thought you wanted—and you still don’t feel whole? Ali Christos knows what it is like to build a life that looks successful from the outside while struggling deeply on the inside. In this vulnerable conversation, Ali shares his journey from childhood bullying and trauma to depression, a suicide attempt as a teenager, years of chasing external success, the breakdown of a 15-year marriage, and a serious accident that forced him to reevaluate what actually mattered. We explore what helped him begin finding his way back: forgiveness, yoga, meditation, music, serving others, allowing difficult emotions instead of constantly numbing them, and developing a deeper relationship with spirituality and his own inner life. Ali also shares how he eventually became a quantum hypnosis practitioner and discusses his beliefs about the Higher Self, QHHT, intuition, past-life experiences, manifestation, and consciousness. At the heart of this episode is a question many of us eventually face: Who are you when achievement, validation, money, relationships, and the image you’ve built can no longer tell you who you are? If you’ve ever looked at your life and thought, “I should be happy… so why don’t I feel that way?” this conversation is an invitation to look beneath the accomplishments and reconnect with the person underneath them. Content note: This episode includes discussion of childhood trauma, domestic violence, depression, suicidal thoughts and a past suicide attempt, self-harm, substance use, and other potentially difficult subjects.

   When Anxiety Shows Up in the Body: You Are More Than a Diagnosis | Noah May

   What happens when anxiety doesn’t feel like panic—but instead shows up as nausea, vomiting, weight loss, fear, and an increasing need to avoid everyday life? In this episode of Walk With Me — Conversations With Real People, Stephanie Bloom talks with journalist and podcaster Noah May about living with depression and anxiety from a young age, navigating grief, bullying, family challenges, and the physical toll mental health struggles can take on the body. Noah shares how music helped him feel less alone, how medication has supported him, and how his relationship with mental health has changed as he has grown older. Together, Stephanie and Noah also explore the importance of continuing to look for therapies, practices, supports, and lifestyle tools that may help someone move forward. At the heart of Noah’s story is a powerful reminder: mental health struggles may be part of your experience, but they do not have to become your entire identity. In this conversation: • Anxiety presenting through physical symptoms • Depression and suicidal ideation during adolescence • Grief and the loss of a loved one • Bullying and emotional isolation • Music as a source of connection and support • Medication and mental health management • Nutrition, digestive health, and the nervous system • Finding the right therapist and continuing to seek support • Releasing shame around mental health • Learning that a diagnosis does not define who you are Connect with Noah: NoahsPodcasts.com Explore more conversations, stories, and resources at WalkWithMeConversations.com.

[…] It's either all or nothing in some of those instances. And so, like you said, it's minute by minute you're paying this price. It's an every day. Every day the do's are due. Right. So in, in the context of all of that experience, what is something that surprised you about yourself in regards to how you carry the, the negative maybe things that you've been exposed to? What surprises you about you? I think that one of the things I've learned is that we have every human being has, um, we have a lot of, as I said, hidden potential or a lot of strength that we are not aware of. We do have the capability and the capacity to take in so much negativity or anything that we come face to face with. […]
