Rebranding Mental Health
The Rebranding Mental Health Podcast explores what mental health could look like if we moved beyond the outdated disease model and embraced TOTAL health—brain, body, relationships, and purpose. Through real talk, cultural critique, and forward-thinking ideas, we unpack the systems that shape our well-being and imagine bold new ways to heal, connect, and grow. It’s not about fixing what’s broken—it’s about building what we’ve been missing.

The Practical Power of Checking In with Yourself
Hello friends—welcome back to Rebranding Mental Health.
In our previous episodes, Iman and Kurt have been exploring happiness and quality of life from a needs-based perspective: the idea that when our human needs are fulfilled, life feels richer, calmer, and more meaningful.
But talking theory is only the beginning. What does this look like in real life?
Today, we’re getting practical. I’ll walk you through the four core ways you can check in with yourself—your emotions, sensations, thoughts, and actions—and what each can teach you about where you are and what you need.
We’ll discuss:
- Why your feelings are messengers (but not facts)
- How your nervous system state can reveal whether your needs are met
- Simple questions you can ask to interpret your inner signals
- How to do seasonal check-ins and in-the-moment reflections to stay balanced
You don’t need a lab test to know if you’re low on connection, overstimulated by stress, or content in your life. Your body and mind are already speaking—you just have to learn to listen.
If you’re ready to transform self-reflection into a powerful daily practice, this episode is your guide.
🎧 Tune in and let’s explore what it really means to measure—and improve—your quality of life.
