The Rewire Your Mind Podcast

Depression, anxiety, PTSD… these are the things millions of people carry quietly, convinced that naming them out loud will change how others see them, or that the conditions they're living with simply come with the territory of a hard life. Depression, anxiety, PTSD… these are the things millions of people carry quietly, convinced that naming them out loud will change how others see them, or that the conditions they're living with simply come with the territory of a hard life. In this episode, Brad sits down with Dr. Jessica Turner, author of Blackbird: Learning to Fly Above Depression and Anxiety, and someone who has personally walked through postpartum depression, disordered eating, PTSD, and the kind of grief that forces you to confront what you've been outrunning for years. Jessica shares her story with rare honesty and backs it with real clinical insight: the brain can change, healing doesn't have to happen all at once, and you have far more control over what you carry than you've ever been told. There is beauty on the other side of trauma, if you're willing to look for it.Make sure you grab a copy of Jessica’s brand new book: “Blackbird: Learning to Fly Above Depression and Anxiety” here!KEY TAKEAWAYS:Mental health stigma is rooted in an outdated image of what these conditions look like. Most people disqualify themselves from getting help because they don't fit the picture they have in their head… and so they carry it in silence instead.So much of lasting struggle comes from never stopping long enough to ask why. Why do you react in certain ways. Why certain things send you sideways. The questions you avoid are usually the ones that hold the most healing.Traumatic memories that aren't properly processed stay fragmented… bits and pieces that shape your behavior and beliefs without you realizing it. Counseling and trauma therapy work by integrating those pieces into a coherent story you can actually make sense of.Healing doesn't require you to face everything at once. You can start with the smaller layers while honoring what you're not ready for yet…and that's not avoidance, that's wisdom about the season you're in.Forgiveness isn't about excusing what happened. It's about choosing not to carry the weight of it anymore. Until that happens, true freedom and healing stay out of reach.Post-traumatic growth is a real possibility. The hardest seasons don't have to just be survived… they can become the source of your deepest resilience, self-knowledge, and clarity about what you're actually capable of.FREE TRAINING RESOURCES🧠 Take The “What’s Your Unique Success Archetype?” Quiz: https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/689cd7687b9d9600152b6631 📘 Download Wired For Success, My Free Mini-Ebook: https://www.bradbizjack.com/ebookTAKE ACTION📱 Follow Brad on Instagram: Daily insights on values, emotional momentum, and sustainable success.

Failure is normal. But if no matter what you do, you seem to fail and you consistently feel like a failure… there’s actually a reason. It means your internal GPS is miscalibrated… In this episode, Brad introduces his Success GPS framework and unpacks why success isn't about grinding more or moving faster. It's about accuracy: knowing where you're actually going, being honest about where you actually are, and learning to read the terrain instead of fighting it.The GPS doesn't care how hard you drive. It only cares about two things.KEY TAKEAWAYS:Success works exactly like Google Maps…  it needs an accurate destination and an accurate current location. Get either one wrong, and you end up lost no matter how hard you work.Most people set goals based on how much gas they currently have in the tank, not where they actually want to go. A responsible destination isn't a compelling one, and the subconscious will reroute you home every time.If your goal doesn't genuinely excite you enough to keep moving on the hardest days, it's a placeholder. NOT a destination.High achievers distort their current location in three ways: minimizing how far they've come, overestimating where they are, or making their life seem way worse than it is. All three send the GPS in the wrong direction.Slow seasons, construction zones, and rest stops aren't signs of failure. They're actually part of the journey. The achievers who honor them are the ones who actually make it to the destination.Alternate routes aren't failures. Rigid attachment to the original plan is. Commit to the destination. Let go of the how.Who's in the car with you shapes your results more than most people realize. The wrong passengers drain you regardless of how good your GPS is. Evaluate the car without judgment. FREE TRAINING RESOURCES:🧠 Take The “What’s Your Unique Success Archetype?” Quiz: https://www.tryinteract.com/share/quiz/689cd7687b9d9600152b6631 📘 Download Wired For Success, My Free Mini-Ebook: https://www.bradbizjack.com/ebookTAKE ACTION📱 Follow Brad on Instagram: Daily insights on values, emotional momentum, and sustainable success.
