In this episode of Notes to My Podcast, Emmy-winning journalist and author Michael Cogdill opens up about the hidden pain many men carry but never talk about.He shares how growing up with a violent alcoholic father shaped his understanding of love, shame, and codependency, and how years later he had to unlearn silence to finally start healing.
Michael and I dive deep into what it means to feel broken without knowing why, exploring:- How shame disconnects men from their emotions- Why codependency feels like love but drains you completely- The importance of therapy, vulnerability, and self-care- The lifelong impact of trauma from childhood chaos- How men can break the cycle of fixing others while ignoring themselves
This conversation is a reminder that healing is not weakness, and asking for help is one of the strongest things a man can do.
If you have ever felt responsible for everyone’s happiness but your own, this episode will hit home.
🎧 Listen now to understand why so many men feel broken and how to start putting the pieces back together.

I visited hundreds of schools, talking to kids about kindness.At first, they said it’s wrong to make fun of someone in a wheelchair.Then I asked, what about making fun of someone for how they look, walk, or dress?That’s when it clicked.They realized bullying isn’t a joke. It’s pain disguised as laughter.That moment changed how they saw kindness and how I saw writing for children.👉 About Mind Circuit Mind Circuit is your pocket-friendly safe space for stress relief and emotional balance.

Why does burnout feel like a personal failure when it’s actually a collective one?
In this episode of Notes to My Nervous System, I sit down with Ginelle, a therapist and clinician who gets real about burnout, survival mode, and what it means to practice radical self-care in a system that keeps us exhausted. We explore how feminist analytic therapy helps people see where their beliefs about “doing enough” and “being enough” come from, and why so many of us are quietly living in survival mode. Ginelle shares how understanding power, identity, and self-worth can turn healing into an act of rebellion and how choosing yourself can be the most radical thing you do. Ginelle also opens up about her own transition from community mental health to private practice, and how setting boundaries and reclaiming space helped her rediscover safety, purpose, and joy in her work.
💡 What you will learn in this episode:
- Why burnout is systemic
- How survival mode keeps you stuck in constant stress
- What feminist analytic therapy looks like in real life
- The power of saying no to exploitative systems
- How self-care becomes radical when you choose yourself
If you have ever felt like you are doing everything right but still running on empty, this conversation will remind you that you are not broken, you are human.
