Episode Description

In today's year-end wrap-up episode of the Hardcore Self Help Podcast (Episode 425), I reflect on 2024 and reveal my guiding word for 2025. Instead of traditional New Year's resolutions, I choose a single word each year to serve as a focal point and inspiration. I revisit last year's word—Connection—and discuss what worked well, like strengthening family bonds and growing professionally through clinical supervision and podcast interviews, as well as what didn't go as planned (like making new friends or achieving full Spanish fluency). These reflections highlight how intentions can guide growth in unexpected ways.

Looking ahead to 2025, my new word is Mend. From addressing health issues to repairing lingering logistical and financial tasks, I want to focus on making what I already have stronger and more sustainable, rather than building from scratch. This year's theme is about restoring, improving, and taking care of what's important in my personal life, home, and professional endeavors—including the podcast and Duff the Psych projects.

Join me as I wrap up 2024, share my aspirations for 2025, and encourage you to reflect on your own values, accomplishments, and future direction. Thank you for another year of support and attention. I'll see you in 2025!

Originally started as a fanzine in the summer of 2011, In My Whey was created to capture all things strength in the hardcore/punk community. The fanzine embodied the DIY movement by self-publishing, editing and funding the entire project, with no ads nor sponsors. In My Whey Fanzine featured a wide range of interviews with people ranging from elite-level powerlifters, strength coaches, recreational lifters, musicians in touring bands to diet advice, steroids, music and more. After publishing 2 volumes of In My Whey Fanzine, I decided to take a break from zines and focus on school...8 years later and I started up my first podcast: 'Doctor Oblivious; A Podcast Idiot', publishing 6 episodes in 2019. While I was happy with the progress I was making, I wasn't really satisfied with it, feeling as if I pigeon-holed myself to a certain standard of who I should interview or what I should be talking about.
