About this listen

 Mind Amendment is a show that challenges everything we’ve been taught to believe about health, healing, and human potential. Hosted by Patrick Custer, this podcast brings together voices from across the spectrum of wellness (mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, relational) to challenge the status quo. Not your typical experts, these are trailblazers rewriting the rules and bringing bold, alternative solutions to real-life struggles. Most of us live by a mental constitution — an internal code built from trauma, culture, conditioning, and survival. And unless we amend it, we stay stuck. Do something different and embrace dissent — it’s where change begins! This is an open invitation to disagree, to challenge, and to evolve. Because if everyone is comfortable, we’re doing it wrong! ⏰ Weekly, short 20-minute episodes 🎙️ Unfiltered conversations with expert disruptors 💥 High-impact concepts that punch through the noise This is your mind. This is your moment. What will you do with it?Copyright 2025 All rights reserved. Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health

  • Burnout: The Hidden Struggle Of Healers (Part 1 With Dr. Jessi Gold)

    Burnout: The Hidden Struggle Of Healers (Part 1 With Dr. Jessi Gold)
    Jul 6 2025
    Burnout doesn’t always look like collapse. Sometimes it looks like showing up every day with a smile you don’t feel and calling that survival. In this powerful conversation, host Patrick Custer sits down with psychiatrist, educator, and mental health advocate Dr. Jessi Gold to unpack the hidden cost of caring for everyone else. From perfectionism and stigma to the impossible standards of modern medicine, this episode pulls back the curtain on what it really means to be “fine.” You’ll hear Dr. Gold open up about: - Why so many high-achieving professionals don’t recognize burnout until it’s too late - The pressure to never show vulnerability and the price we pay for it - What happens when your identity and your job become the same thing - How sharing even a fraction of your truth can change everything - Why healing requires more than resilience it requires permission to be human If you have ever felt like you are running on empty but still expected to perform, this episode is for you. It is a raw conversation about showing up when you are barely holding it together and learning how to come back to yourself without guilt. Watch the full episode now.

  • Silence to Action: Allyship & Pride Month (Part 4 with Ashley Hampton)

    Silence to Action: Allyship & Pride Month (Part 4 with Ashley Hampton)
    Jun 30 2025
    “I support you, but can we not talk about this at work?” We’ve all heard it. Some of us have said it. But what happens when support stops at comfort? In this bold Pride Month conversation, Mind Amendment host Patrick Custer sits down with therapist, educator, and cultural worker Ashley Hampton to unpack what it really means to be a safe space for others, especially those living at the intersection of being Black, queer, neurodivergent, and exhausted by performative care. This episode isn’t about calling people out. It’s about calling people closer to the work of real allyship. Together, Patrick and Ashley explore: -Why “I don’t see color” can be more harmful than helpful -The emotional toll of shrinking yourself for other people’s comfort -How to show up without needing to be perfect -Why silence isn’t safety for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities -What accountability actually looks and feels like in therapy, in relationships, and in the mirror If you've ever wondered what it means to truly support someone during Pride Month beyond the hashtags, beyond the merch, this is where the real conversation begins.

  • Therapist Break Too (Part 3 with Ashley Hampton)

    Therapist Break Too (Part 3 with Ashley Hampton)
    Jun 23 2025
    Traditional therapy wasn’t enough to fix a broken system. Nearly 60% of BIPOC and LGBTQ+ individuals report feeling misunderstood or harmed in therapy. Clinicians are burning out. Marginalized communities are slipping through the cracks. That’s why Ashley Hampton left the comfort of private practice to launch a nonprofit rooted in healing justice because survival shouldn’t depend on privilege, and therapy shouldn’t be a luxury. In Part 3 of this series, Ashley Hampton and host Patrick Custer unpack the painful gaps in our current mental health system and what it actually takes to build something more inclusive, more human, and more effective. From system-level failures to clinician identity suppression, Ashley brings lived experience, bold truth, and practical strategies to the table. What we explore in Part 3: • Why private therapy alone can’t solve systemic harm • Real-world failures of the mental health system and how they harm BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities • What “healing justice” actually looks like beyond buzzwords • The emotional toll on therapists forced to mask their identities • How people outside the margins can become true co-conspirators without centering themselves Recorded and released during Pride Month, this conversation holds particular weight for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities, where survival often masquerades as strength, and healing rarely happens in systems that weren’t built for us. If you’ve ever felt like the system wasn’t made for you this is your mirror, your firestarter, and your roadmap forward. This is your mind. This is your moment. What will you do with it?
