  • From Burnout to Bigger Impact | Dr. Debra Kawahara

    From Burnout to Bigger Impact | Dr. Debra Kawahara
    Nov 2 2026
    In this episode of The 3 Parallels Podcast, Dr. Jason Branch sits down with Dr. Debra Kawahara, former president of the American Psychological Association, interim academic dean of the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, executive director of the Illumination of Mindfulness Institute, and host of the podcast Wellness in Today's World. Before any of those titles, she was a first-generation college student from Gardena, California, who planned to run a community mental health center. The line she teaches her students sits at the center of the conversation: you are the tool, and if the tool is broken, nobody you serve is well served.

    Dr. Kawahara traces her path from a diverse community where she saw leaders who looked like her, to a college classroom where she was suddenly one of a few, to an educational psychology class and an Asian American studies course with Dr. Stanley Sue that connected psychology to what she had lived. She describes her early career in community mental health, including a pilot program for what is now called wraparound services and a residential facility for adolescent males, and what she learned about a system with high turnover and limited resources that was not set up for effective care. She left because she was burned out, took a year off, and kept looking for bigger impact, which led to a visiting faculty position in San Diego and a career in academia. Along the way the conversation covers her dissertation on the generational impact of the World War II Japanese American incarceration, her partner's 160-acre family farm, her work connecting mindfulness to early Buddhism, and her three parallels: a foundation she did not know she was laying, an integration of everything she has learned, and a path that is still evolving.

    This episode is for the helping professional who has been treating exhaustion as a character flaw, and for anyone who set out toward one goal and suspects the real path lies somewhere they cannot yet see. It is also for first-generation students and professionals who wish someone had handed them the map. Dr. Branch and Dr. Kawahara send listeners away with three challenges: follow your heart by naming what you keep talking yourself out of, check the tool by asking whether your weekend is designed for relaxation or recovery, and give away one thing you wish someone had told you.


    Life Work
    1. Follow Your Heart: Whoever you are and whatever you are meant to do, you will find it if you listen to yourself. Name one thing your heart keeps telling you that you have been talking yourself out of.
    2. Check the Tool: If you do not know how to rest, you can burn yourself out. Is your weekend designed for relaxation or recovery? Schedule one real recovery block this week.
    3. Give It Away: Think of what you know now that you wish someone had told you. Share it with one person this week.

  • Gator Talk: Win or Learn — Why Failure Isn’t the End | Dr. Branch

    Gator Talk: Win or Learn — Why Failure Isn’t the End | Dr. Branch
    Oct 29 2026
    In this Gator Talk session, Dr. Jason Branch brings the Gator University community together to unpack one of the most liberating reframes in Season 5: you don't lose. You either win or you learn. Through an honest, unscripted, and completely unfiltered conversation, the group explores what it looks like to stop treating every setback like a personal failure — from the professional challenges that trigger old patterns of self-blame and perfectionism, to the difference between beating yourself up and actually holding yourself accountable, to the reminder that sitting with the discomfort of not knowing something is sometimes exactly where the growth is. Dr. Branch also shares what is coming next for Gator University, including the upcoming Gator Mode book and the second edition of the Gator Scales Journal.

    Gator Talk is the live weekly conversation from Dr. Jason Branch — real talk about life, wellness, identity, career, purpose, and the work of becoming your future self. Every Friday at 9 AM PT / 12 PM ET on IG Live and Zoom, Dr. Branch shows up to think out loud, take questions, and follow the breadcrumbs. No scripts. No polish. Just Gator Mode: living with intention, protecting your energy, and making room for who you are becoming.

    Gator Talk is for high performers, helping professionals, and anyone who is done surviving and ready to start building with intention. Whether you are navigating a setback, a season of growth, or simply the space between who you were and who you are becoming, this is your Friday conversation. Join live every Friday or catch the recording here. Welcome to the basement. It is time to do the work.


    Life Work
    1. Pause Before You React: When something frustrates you, give yourself a moment to process before trying to fix everything.
    2. Learn Instead of Beat Yourself Up: When something doesn't go as planned, ask what you can learn from it instead of what is wrong with you.
    3. Challenge Yourself to Grow: Identify one habit that is keeping you stuck and take one small step toward becoming the person you want to be.

  • The Faculty Lounge: Behind the Scenes of the Helping Profession

    The Faculty Lounge: Behind the Scenes of the Helping Profession
    Oct 26 2026
    In this episode of The 3 Parallels Podcast, Dr. Jason Branch sits down with Dr. Samantha Guber and Dr. Donnette Deigh for an unfiltered conversation recorded during faculty residency at Alliant International University. This is the conversation that happens after class, when the work is done, the drinks are poured, and the people behind the credentials get to be human. Three therapists, professors, and counselor educators step out of their professional roles and into something more honest: the Faculty Lounge.

    The conversation goes deep into the realities of being a helping professional — family challenges, self-care, professional identity, healthy workplace relationships, and the ongoing fight for fair faculty pay. Dr. Branch, Dr. Guber, and Dr. Deigh explore what it takes to balance who you are at work with who you are outside of it, why therapists need support too, and how the right environment can make all the difference in whether you survive or thrive. They also get real about counselor education, challenging assumptions about therapy, learning to work with people who are different from you, and why future counselors need more than textbooks to prepare for the real world. The through line is a truth that rarely gets said this plainly: titles do not erase struggles, credentials do not make anyone perfect, and helping others requires everyone in the room to keep doing their own work.

    This episode is for every helping professional who has been pouring from empty and calling it dedication. It is for the therapist, counselor, educator, and coach who has spent years holding space for others and has not yet found a space that holds them. And it is for anyone who needs to hear that they are welcome, valued, respected, and that they belong — not because of their credential, but because of who they are. Dr. Branch sends listeners away with three challenges: find the people who actually see them, take one intentional step toward their own healing this week, and try one thing they have been avoiding.
    Life Work
    1. Find Your People: Look for spaces where you are valued, supported, and challenged to grow. If you don't have that yet, start with Gator University.
    2. Do Your Own Work: You cannot pour into everybody else while ignoring yourself. Take one intentional step toward your own healing this week.
    3. Be Willing to Try: Choose one thing you have been avoiding and try it anyway. You might discover it is exactly where you need to be.
