What if we approached our mental health with the same intentionality as our physical fitness? Aaron Machbitz, Emotional Projector & host of the "Something for Everybody" podcast, joins us for a profound conversation about transforming our approach to emotional wellbeing and relationships.
Aaron shares his powerful journey through grief after losing his sister to suicide, which catalyzed his passion for mental health advocacy. He draws an important distinction between mental health and mental fitness—reframing emotional wellbeing as something we actively cultivate rather than merely maintain. "Let's make mental health sexy again," Aaron suggests, advocating for daily "emotional pushups" that build resilience before we face life's inevitable challenges.
The conversation delves into practical habit-building strategies that anyone can implement. Aaron recommends making habits "too small to fail" by starting with minimal commitments that gradually expand over time. His "start, stop, continue" method offers a balanced approach to personal growth: identify one behavior to eliminate, one to begin, and one to celebrate continuing. This framework acknowledges both our areas for improvement and our current successes.
Perhaps most compelling is Aaron's candid sharing about his relationship journey. After years of casual dating, he made a radical decision to become celibate until finding someone he wanted to marry. This intentional period of self-development created space for genuine connection when he met his now-wife.
Whether you're working on personal growth, building resilience, or strengthening relationships, this episode offers valuable insights for your journey. As Aaron powerfully reminds us: "The world needs all your faults and mistakes and everything you have to offer, because there'll never be another you."
