About this listen

 Still Standing Strong is a space for honest conversations about the things most people don’t talk about — burnout, grief, identity, doubt, pressure, healing… and everything in between.

I’ve been through my fair share of it. I’m not a guru — just someone who’s learned a lot from being knocked down and getting back up again.

Each episode, I’ll unpack thoughts and experiences around the difficult stuff — the kind of stuff that sits with you. I’ll share what I’ve been through, what I’m still figuring out, and invite you to think about how it shows up in your own life. (Dad jokes and puns may also make an appearance from time to time).

If you’re someone who thinks deeply, feels a lot, or just wants to hear something real for once… welcome.Copyright Ollie’s Dad Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

    WELCOME TO A NEW SEASON

    Sometimes the only thing we can control is how we respond, and even that is a fraction of the event that happened.
    This episode dives into the power of reacting less — giving only a fraction of your reaction to moments that don’t go your way. From a missed flight that turned into a beautiful memory, to staying grounded through a job loss, it’s a reminder that calm often changes the outcome more than control ever could.

    Inspired by The Let Them Theory by Mel Robbins — and a new twist called The Let It Theory — this week explores how mindset, patience, and perspective shape every situation we face

    We work harder, chase promotions, buy houses, collect milestones — all in search of “enough.” But what if more never feels like more? In this episode suggested by a listener, I share stories and reflections about striving, achievement, and the quiet emptiness that can follow. Let’s talk about why “enough” is rarely out there… and how to start finding it here.

    Special Episode - Remembering Love and Appreciation
    Sep 11 2025
    Sometimes the most important thing you can do is pause and appreciate the people and moments right in front of you. In this emergency episode, I share why appreciation can’t wait — and why it might be the antidote to so much of what weighs us down. If you’ve been running on empty, take ten minutes with me to remember what matters most.

    Remembering those who lost their lives on 9/11, and ensuring we don't take the life we have for granted. Love one another
