In this conversation, Dorcey shares her vibrant and eclectic upbringing in Manchester, discussing the influences of her family and the challenges she faced, including OCD and the impact of her parents' relationship. She reflects on her journey of self-discovery, particularly after the loss of her father, and the importance of therapy in her healing process. The discussion also touches on the medical profession's approach to mental health, the unique challenges faced by men, especially during postpartum periods, and the creation of supportive spaces for men to express their feelings. Dorsey emphasizes the power of communication and community in navigating mental health struggles.

In this episode, Dr. Hannah Korrel unpacks her journey from a structured military upbringing to becoming a neuropsychologist devoted to understanding the human mind. She shares how anxiety shaped her path, why neurodiversity must be understood rather than judged, and how early detection of mental health challenges can change the trajectory of a life.

This conversation goes beyond labels and diagnoses. We explore vulnerability as strength, emotional regulation as a learned skill, and the silent ways mental health impacts relationships, leadership, and workplace culture. Dr. Korrel offers grounded, practical tools for building fulfillment through better sleep, intentional nutrition, consistent physical movement, and honest emotional communication.

If you want a deeper understanding of how your brain shapes your behavior, and what you can do about it, this episode delivers clarity, science, and real world application in equal measure.

"I had a couple of drinks and the noise stopped... and that is how alcoholics are born."

We often think of addiction as the guy under the bridge, but what about the successful leader who drinks to "unwind" every single night? Rick Coluccio is a former music producer turned Recruitment Leader (Host of Recruiting EQ) who lived the "rockstar" lifestyle until his liver almost failed at 19.

In this episode, Rick peels back the layers on "High-Functioning" addiction. He explores how we swap one vice for another (alcohol for work, food, or sex) not to have fun, but to soothe an internal scream that we refuse to hear.

In this episode, expect to learn:

• The "Soothing" Trap: Why addiction isn't about the substance; it's about using external things to manage internal emotions.

• The Generational Curse: Growing up in a house of normalized depression and how to break the cycle.

• Swapping Vices: How you can be "sober" but move your addiction to sex, food, or work.

• Corporate Masks: Why the higher you climb in leadership, the more fake the people around you become.
