The 6 Pieces of Advice I Needed A Long Time Ago

After a 2 week hiatus, I’m back with some valuable realizations and lessons. It’s a time in life where “things” are starting to finally feel just right. A few changes here and there but always, Mental Pleasure. Happy listening! Email: [email protected]

Mental pleasure listeners, please welcome fitness guru, Tyler Nation, back to the stage as we discuss everything you need to know for not only starting the fitness journey you’ve been promising yourself for years now but also how to maintain and stay consistent; ideally turning your fitness/healthy habits into a lifestyle. Summer is right around the corner and you know as well as I do, this is the time for those half-assed, last minute routines and diets we try to discover and put together, ultimately leading into very unhealthy and toxic decisions that can affect your body in the long run. Tyler does not sugar coat when he gives his perspective and answers to questions sent in by you, the listener. Is there a magic pill? Can you reduce fat in specific areas with the right exercise? Why is everyone intermittent fasting? And what the hell is a keto and why is everyone trying to stay in ketosis? Get your answers here and finally decide to live the very much attainable lifestyle of health and fitness, for YOU.  Happy listening! Tyler Nation: @TrainingNationFitness Apps Mentioned: Evolve You - Follow link for free trial! https://evolveyou.mention-me.com/m/ol/uy3jy-melanie-otero

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode discusses sexual abuse and drug use. Mental Pleasure welcomes Austin Martin this week, as he bravely opens up about the sexual abuse he endured during his childhood and how the undealt trauma led to a substance addiction he struggles with to this day. With the help of therapy and the realization of a possible anger disorder, Austin decided it was finally time to face his undesirable behavior and numbed feelings he thought were normal for so long. Opening up about traumatic memories can be very tough to do because your body quite literally relives the experience and so I appreciate every ounce of truth Austin has shared in this part 1 series of Mental Pleasure.  Albolene Skin Care: https://www.albolene.com/ (https://www.albolene.com/)Instagram: @austinxandermartinAustin Martin: https://www.tiktok.com/@saustinmartin?_t=8baJt3kCQck&_r=1Email: [email protected]: @mymentalpleasure

Join me this week as I’m featured on the debut episode for the podcast, A Beautiful Chaos with Stephen Vultaggio! We talk through everything from Mental Pleasure as a brand, my sobriety, and experience with therapy. I believe what truly makes this episode is its’ vulnerability and honesty  throughout our entire conversation but you’ll have to listen for yourself. I’m so proud of Stephen and his leap of faith to contribute nothing but greatness to this life by bringing A Beautiful Chaos to our beautiful ears. Happy listening! http://youtube.com/@abeautifulchaos (http://youtube.com/@abeautifulchaos)https://linktr.ee/mentalpleasure?fbclid=PAAaZX8TAML0dsrWJFDcOAhc6tHs92ParTET0u_x4-0-A_leH5O5tZuUhVujw

Of all the things you’d need a break from, who would’ve thought you’d need a little time out from working on your mental health? Unfortunately, I learned this lesson the hard way, as I do most lessons, but this one seems to be one of those that will stick around for a while. Though therapy has helped uncover and discover, it has left me feeling like an open vessel, at least temporarily. I discuss more of what I mean and go over my QEEG brain map and the extremely surprising results. Happy listening!Instagram: @mymentalpleasureEmail: [email protected]
