Overcome With Travis White

Sometimes the hardest person to believe in is yourself. After a lifetime of family conflict, career changes, uncertainty, heartbreak, and starting over, Terry Bean has learned that the story you repeatedly tell yourself can shape the life you create.Terry joins Travis White to talk about breaking free from victim mentality, changing the narrative in your mind, and becoming your own best friend. She shares how gratitude, forgiveness, boundaries, self-talk, and giving yourself grace can help you move forward when life does not go according to plan.In this episode of Overcome with Travis White, Terry reflects on repeatedly reinventing herself, returning to New York to care for her mother, and learning to observe difficult emotions instead of immediately reacting to them. She also discusses her children's book ABRA*CA*DABRA, the importance of helping children trust their feelings, and what she calls the "inner wizard": the quiet wisdom that appears when we pause, listen, and make choices from within.Terry also opens up about losing her best friend to suicide, the role community played in the aftermath, and what that experience taught her about depression, major life changes, asking for help, and meeting people where they are.If you are trying to rebuild your confidence, navigate a difficult season, support someone you love, or reconnect with the part of yourself that still believes good things are possible, this conversation is a reminder that you can slow down, change your story, and take the next step with compassion.Content note: This episode includes a discussion of suicide loss, depression, and mental illness.

What happens when the person you love is struggling with addiction, and the life you thought you understood changes forever? Katie Rizzo joins Travis White to share the story of her son Nicholas, his battle with addiction, and the traumatic grief that followed his accidental overdose. This conversation is honest, tender, and deeply human. It is about the way addiction affects an entire family, the shame so many families carry in silence, and the difficult work of learning how to live with grief instead of trying to escape it. In this episode of Overcome with Travis White, Katie talks about Nicholas beyond his addiction: his love for soccer, his close friendships, his anxiety, his humor, his love for his brothers, and the beautiful life that grief could never erase. She also shares what Al-Anon taught her, why addiction is not solved by willpower alone, and why families need community, grace, and support when they are trying to keep someone they love alive. Katie also opens up about losing Nicholas, the support groups, therapy, EMDR, journaling, exercise, and community that helped her and her husband survive the earliest waves of grief, and the framework behind her book The Trimesters of Grief. She describes grief as something that changed her body, her identity, and her way of seeing the world, while also teaching her how to be brave, present, and connected to Nicholas in a new way. If you have lost someone to addiction, love someone who is struggling, or are carrying grief that other people do not understand, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone, your love still matters, and healing does not mean getting over the person you lost.

What if the same argument keeps coming back because neither of you is actually fighting about what you think you are?So many couples get stuck in the same painful loop: one person gets angry, the other shuts down, resentment builds, and the relationship starts to feel unsafe even when both people still love each other.In this episode, Travis White sits down with Davina Hehn to talk about anger intelligence, relationship conflict, parenting pressure, postpartum depression, emotional shutdown, and what it really takes to repair a damaged relationship before resentment takes over.Davina shares how her own marriage nearly fell apart after parenting exposed patterns neither partner knew how to handle. Through anger management training, radical transparency, and a willingness to rewrite the story they were telling about each other, she and her husband began rebuilding their relationship from the ground up.Together, Travis and Davina explore why anger is often misunderstood, how men and women can express anger differently, why new parents can become more reactive, and how couples can stop outsourcing their regulation, confidence, and self-control to each other.

Scott Cook was preparing for a bodybuilding competition when his life changed without warning. In 2009, he collapsed at home and was rushed to the hospital, where doctors found a plum-sized tumor at the base of his brain that was blocking drainage and causing dangerous pressure.What followed was a long and painful road through brain cancer, 11 brain surgeries, shunts, a stroke, time in a wheelchair, and the slow work of learning how to move, speak, and trust his body again.

What if anxiety isn't a thinking problem at all? What if your body is sounding an alarm long before your mind understands why?Many people believe anxiety starts with negative thoughts. But what if the physical symptoms come first and your brain is simply trying to make sense of them?In this episode, Travis White sits down with psychiatric nurse practitioner Tauna Young, FNP-C, to explore the hidden reason anxiety won't go away and the missing piece nobody talks about: the connection between emotions, the nervous system, and the body's stress response.Tauna shares why anxiety is often a physical experience before it's a mental one, how suppressed emotions can fuel chronic stress, and why so many people feel exhausted even when they appear to be functioning well on the outside.Together, they discuss the relationship between fear and anxiety, why some people struggle to identify what they're feeling, how modern technology impacts the nervous system, and the importance of giving ourselves permission to experience emotions rather than fight them. Tauna also introduces Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES), a non-medication approach designed to help regulate the nervous system and promote calm.If you've ever wondered why your body feels stressed even when your mind knows everything is okay, this conversation offers a different perspective on healing, emotional health, and recovery.What We DiscussedWhy anxiety is often a physical experience before a mental oneThe connection between fear, emotions, and the nervous systemHow suppressed emotions can contribute to chronic anxietyWhy highly functioning people can still feel emotionally exhaustedThe difference between fear and anxietyLearning to identify and accept difficult emotionsHow the body reacts to perceived threatsThe impact of technology and constant stimulation on mental healthWhy rest and relaxation can feel uncomfortable for some peopleCranial Electrotherapy Stimulation (CES) and nervous system regulationThe role of therapy, medication, and alternative treatment optionsCoping versus healingMental health stigma and the future of mental health careWhy vulnerability matters in recovery and healingConnect With Tauna YoungNeurovana Calm: https://neurovanacalm.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/taunayoung_fnpc/Harmony Mental Health: https://www.harmonymentalhealth.biz/Call To ActionIf this episode helped you see anxiety in a new way, please follow, share, and leave a review.
