The Badass Counseling Show
Sven Erlandson, MDiv., Keynote Speaker, 64-week Top10 best-selling author (8 books), Social Media Creator with 3M+ followers (aka "Badass Counseling").
Founder of Badass Counseling, NYC, he is single-handedly rewriting an entire industry with his "healing shouldn't take a long time," raw and aggressive approach to transformation. He has counseled Special Forces to Hollywood insiders, homeless to Wall Street CEOs, and people in the trades to everyday folks just trying to get by. Always real, always raw, always kind. Former pastor, military, and NCAA Head Coach for Strength.
His 2x/week podcasts feature no-BS, LIVE counseling sessions and Q&A 'lightning rounds' where he takes questions LIVE on three social media platforms, all at one time, rapid-fire. With coarse language and a no-nonsense approach, Sven attacks life's toughest issues — from massive trauma to cheating, suicide to self-worth, career loss to parenting — always challenging guests to dive deep and emerge transformed.

Axel has done a lot of work to heal from a terribly abusive childhood, but still struggles with self-confidence and the effect of his trauma on his children. Why does he still feel worthless? Lynette also joins the show, describing a disheartening lack of parental support from childhood through graduate school. Now totally dissatisfied with her life and feeling worthless, she also turns to Sven for the motivation to get things turned around. Listen in as Alex and Lynette hear the parallels in their experiences and, with Sven's help, find ways to help each other. Explicit content.
