What if healing looked different for every single person? On The Healing Mindset, host Ria talks with author and podcaster Joseph M. Lenard about positive mindset, self-reflection, and finding your own path to healing.
Joseph shares practical, everyday ways to quiet the mind, why asking for help matters, and how his own books and songs grew out of navigating ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder.
About the Guest:
Joseph M. Lenard is a bestselling author, podcaster, and songwriter based in Wyandotte, Michigan. A former IT professional, he writes the Life and Living book series, including Roller Coasters: The Life Kind, and openly shares his experience living with ADHD, OCD, and bipolar disorder.
Key Takeaways:
- Healing looks different for everyone, so let go of a one-size-fits-all approach
- Don't be afraid to ask for help when you feel stuck
- Meditation doesn't have to look traditional; simply quieting your mind counts
- Try a "mirror moment": look at yourself and ask where you want to be
- Books and stories can offer comfort and healing, not just one-on-one conversations
- Notice who you spend time with; the people around you shape your mindset
