#292: Living Authentically in a Burnout Culture with Colton Miller
In this eye-opening episode of A Mental Health Break, Vincent welcomes licensed mental health counselor and founder of Blue Skies Brain Health, Colton Miller. Dedicated to helping younger adults find true fulfillment and purpose, Colton shares his own mental health journey—from the pressure of high school wrestling to witnessing his father’s cancer diagnosis—and how it inspired him to live life on his own terms.
Together, they unpack the impact of early-life adversity, burnout culture, the myths of the 40-hour workweek, and the emotional traps we often fall into in relationships. Colton also breaks down how small daily habits—like morning walks or spiritual moments—can lead to long-term mental wellness.
Whether you’re navigating a quarter-life crisis, stuck in people-pleasing patterns, or simply seeking more authenticity in your life, this conversation will leave you with tools and insights to start showing up more fully for yourself.
💡 "Our mental health is our happiness. It should be one of the top priorities when we make life decisions." – Colton Miller
