“Therapy has saved my life many times.”

In the latest episode of the Move the City FWD Podcast, Austin Neal talks about why housing support cannot stop once someone receives the keys.

A safe place to live creates room to address trauma, connect with counseling, and begin building stability.

Austin will continue this conversation during the Housing Is Medicine panel at the 2026 My City My Health Conference.

Anger isn't bad, but hurting yourself or others is. We teach our son to ask 'What do you need right now?' when he's mad. Often, he just wants to be heard. This resonates with all of us when we feel unheard or out of place.

It's easy to feel suffocated by life's challenges. But remember, we are sovereign, powerful people. Even in overwhelm, we have autonomy over how we show up. Radical responsibility starts with us and how we choose to move forward.

Anger doesn't have to be a negative force. By asking anger what it needs and why it's there, we can understand its protective role. Tools like breathwork and therapy help find balance, integrating anger as part of our emotional spectrum.

Everyone's talking about AI, but the real magic lies in how you prompt it. A bad question leads to a bad answer. What if we could prompt ourselves with better questions about our work's meaning and purpose?

Is your work still filling you up?
If not, it's time for some honest reflection. Is it your expectations? The workload? A change in passion? Every situation is either depositing energy or depleting it, and it's worth knowing which one you're in.
Vanessa McNeal and I dug into this on the My City My Health Podcast. She'll be on the Mental Health Panel at My City My Health Des Moines on November 13 at Curate.
