Ever feel like there’s way too much mental health advice online, yet you’re still stuck?

In this episode, we unpack why mental health feels so overwhelming in the age of constant content and influencer “hacks.” Jonathan and Dr. Mark explore:

✅ Why mental health often feels complicated (when it doesn’t have to be)
✅ The difference between accessibility and true accessibility
✅ Why “one-size-fits-all” advice can hurt more than help
✅ Practical ways to filter what’s actually helpful for your mental wellness
✅ Why learning to ask better questions is key to growth

You don’t need to wait for a crisis to start caring for your mental health. Small steps count, and clarity is possible—no matter how loud the noise gets.

Feeling overwhelmed by mental health advice?

You’re not alone. This episode kicks off the Mental Health Made Simple Podcast, where Dr. Mark Mayfield (Counselor, Author, Professor, Coach, and sought after Speaker) and Jonathan Collier (Entrepreneur, Brand and leadership Coach & Consultant, and Mental Health Practitioner) break down why mental health doesn’t need to be complicated, crunchy, or crisis-only to matter.

A few topics we'll talk about:

• Why mental health is health (not just for crises)
• The small, daily steps that build real change
• Why big “aha” moments aren’t the only way to grow
• Tools to help you show up for yourself and those around you
• How faith and mental health can intersect without shame

Mental Health Made Simple isn’t therapy, but it’s a step toward understanding yourself and others without the overwhelm.
