A Mental Health Break
A Mental Health Break is a Top 5% globally ranked mental health podcast for honest conversations about anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, grief, relationships, recovery, and the everyday challenges of being human.
Hosted by traumatic brain injury survivor, three-time mental health author, and advocate Vincent A. Lanci, this weekly podcast brings you direct, meaningful conversations with mental health professionals, advocates, authors, survivors, and people willing to share the real stories behind their healing. Every episode is designed to remind you of one important truth: you are not alone.
Since 2020, Vincent has created a supportive space where mental health is discussed with compassion, curiosity, and no judgment. In concise, value-packed episodes—typically under 30 minutes—you will hear practical perspectives on anxiety, depression, PTSD and trauma recovery, addiction and substance use, ADHD, autism, OCD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, grief, divorce, codependency, workplace mental health, emotional regulation, therapy, mindfulness, self-care, and life after traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Whether you are living with a mental health condition, supporting someone you love, working through a difficult season, or simply looking for tools to strengthen your emotional well-being, A Mental Health Break offers stories, encouragement, and practical guidance for moving forward.
Expect real conversations about therapy, recovery, coping skills, resilience, mental health stigma, relationships, boundaries, healing from old and new trauma, and finding hope after adversity. Vincent combines lived experience with the wisdom of clinicians, researchers, caregivers, advocates, and guests who have faced life-changing challenges.
New episodes weekly. Subscribe for clear, compassionate mental health conversations that get to the point—because your time matters, your story matters, and you do not have to carry it alone.

How Therapy Changed Her World: Graphic Design to LCSW
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Self Care, We Are All Unique, Being Honest with Yourself, and so much more. Did you have a transformative moment in your life that led you to focusing on your mental health? If so, this is the show for you!
Some areas of discussion with Mental Health Advocate and Professional Tanya Cole-Lesnick include:
- • The importance of discomfort and vulnerability for transformation.
• There's nothing wrong with us, it's just part of the human condition.
• Why your needs, wants and boundaries are more important than
being “good” or doing what you “should” be doing. - • What happens when we don’t honor our energy levels? and so much more.
- Spotlight Story: As we have a guest on the show who had a transformative experience in therapy, this week we discuss, "8 Celebrities Talk About Their Experiences with Therapy". Follow along here: https://thriveworks.com/blog/celebrities-experiences-therapy/
Tanya Cole-Lesnick has been a psychotherapist and coach since 1995. She received her master’s degree in social work from New York University after group therapy changed her life. She has extensive experience in outpatient hospital mental health, private practice, and wellness center settings.
From those experiences over the years she has identified her most important focus—helping people to live lives that light them up. She does this by helping clients to access and honor their truth, to change habits that don’t serve them, and to heal faulty narratives so that they are living in alignment inside and out.
Her work revolves around intimate groups as the sharing of inner worlds and being human together in a safe space is what she finds to be the most powerful way for lives to transform.
