Transforming Minds with Dr. Brian Ragsdale
Hosted by Dr. Brian Ragsdale, Clinical Psychologist
Transforming Minds explores the psychology of reinvention, especially for high-functioning, thoughtful adults navigating change.
With over 25 years of clinical-counseling experience, Dr. Brian blends humanistic, multicultural, and existential psychology with lived insight to help capable people move from quiet misalignment to intentional clarity.
This podcast is for those who:
• Appear stable but feel internally unsettled
• Are questioning long-held roles, identities, or relationships
• Want psychological depth without pathologizing growth
Each episode offers grounded reflection, real-life application, and mature psychological insight for adults designing their next chapter.

These episodes are created from a place of care and professional experience. They are designed to support reflection and growth but are not therapy and do not establish a clinical relationship.
If you are in emotional distress or need immediate support, contact a licensed mental health provider, call or text 988, or seek emergency care. You deserve support and safety.
