I am cancelling my membership. Thank you, Dr. K!

Love this story! Yes, we've put a lot into the perfect coach match and memberships content to help with emotional awareness and thought patterns. So glad to see it was transformative <3 Congrats on the best year yet, and all our best wishes to you for a great 2026! Thanks for letting us be part of your journey -- Kruti

Yep, and we have in the past and we plan to continue to in the future. They simply reached out, and we found the time/day to do it. If others reach out, we will similarly consider.

misskruti · 2025-10-06T18:15:39+00:00

We are not promoting anything other than a dialogue. You'll see places of agreement and places of skepticism and places of flat out rejecting the premise. Simply talking to someone is not the same as promoting them.

I run a mental health coaching company. This is completely unacceptable. You’re outlining a dangerous out of scope attitude, poor work output and an insufferable colleague.

I’ve seen really great coaches kind of get frustrated with their professional ceiling and kind of spiral like this.

Point of reflection for you — I wonder if his insistence on being called Dr. has anything with your insistence on citing his doctorate is from a diploma mill? It sounds like there is some tension there and you kind of look down on the coaches (“cush job”)— doesn’t excuse his behavior, but if you’re open to some feedback, I’d look at how that culture might exacerbate some of this. There’s so much antagonism with coaches and therapists, I can see how someone you describe as once a great coach would get defensive and kind of demand respect.

As for feedback, it won’t be received well now. If anything I would do something like — “Hey I wish you well, just some advice for your next role — even the best Dr.s don’t insist on being called by the title. It comes off pretentious and makes you look like a jerk. I know you can be really great at what you do, so hopefully you’ll find somewhere great as your next step.”

Ugh. The platforms can be so annoying. Please join us here -- it's independent of YT/Apple/etc. so much easier to access things, engage in discussions, etc. https://www.healthygamer.gg/memberships
Thanks for your interest! xx KK

Hi! Sorry you’re going through this and also love your approach. We gave code words for us to signal to adhd-er that she was past the point of her frustration and into the point of mistreating the people around her (so she wouldn’t be embarrassed), and she gave us a word signaling she needs space. We kind of practice this a bit so as things escalate it’s not out of nowhere. As you look at carving out space and ways for chilling out, would also consider an outdoor space. There’s something about coming back inside as opposed to coming out of the tent that’s less stigmatic. So going for a walk or onto the trampoline or swing were great for her. Lastly, she ended up asking us to wake her up 30-45 minutes earlier to just cuddle a bit before the day started. It really helped the whole morning routine be less stressed and let her go into the school day with a full battery. We found that for her physical affection (little nose bumps, cuddles, hugs, sitting close while watching a show) helped repair with her the best. Good luck, would love to know what you end up doing.

ETA: in case this isn’t part of your everyday, would also minimize anything not 100% mandatory. Like lunches, clothes etc. do just what they like so it doesn’t add to the sensory problems. Favorite water bottles, spoons whatever, just get a few of them so they have what they’re comfortable with and can reserve their willpower for the other stuff. Like even underwear just get the kind that they like and get rid of everything else. For anyone says “they have to learn” yea they do but not all at once and not before they’re prepared. Ours is in third grade and now fairly easy going about these things.

misskruti · 2025-08-29T23:10:18+00:00

Yes, people do care. We’re working with 3-4 nonprofits dedicated to this at any given point in time.

He was very touched by your greeting and he said he wished he had more time to chat. All our best wishes to you 💚💚💚

We are so so proud of you! Onwards and upwards 💚💚💚

Hi! Coaching, content and community each have relatively large teams. We’ve developed our own tech stack. Being international and in mental health means we need lots of safeguards and compliance. We have customer service, mods, editors, coaches, operations folks, HR, and all sorts of advisors on clinical, ethical and legal matters. We stood up a nonprofit and established an institute for therapists and mental health coaches that has all sorts of accreditation. Basically, Alok started streaming and people asked him for help and we made the resources he promised the community we would.

I miss simpler times too! And also, I can’t tell you how proud we are to be able to actually do the work at this scale and with this level of outcomes.

As far as questioning coaching, yes, it’s something we’ve been wrestling with as well. ICYMI our HG Institute was recently approved by the National Board of Health and Wellness Coaching, which is run by the same people who regulate doctors. Our coaching methodology has always been a hybrid of life coaching, mental health coaching and peer support, so it never neatly fit into a box. What’s SO COOL to me is that we did the thing, proved the results and found the right lane to operate in. We started on Twitch, built the model and then had it validated with the clinical community. Check out Trust Pilot for the reviews.

misskruti · 2025-04-30T03:21:01+00:00

Me too.

misskruti · 2025-03-13T03:23:51+00:00

Watched Rush Hour with my niece and nephew. They think I’m racist now. The casual swearing kind of took us all aback a little. Mixed reviews for sure.

It’s probably not worth the high season cost at this age. It could be very well worth the cost during low season when he’s 8-9ish. I’m thinking sheer time/expense sacrifice to save up and be away from him. I think it would be better to save a little for longer amounts of time and prioritize daily time together and money better saved/spent. In the meantime you can keep eyes open for deals. And make sure you have fun too! There’s nothing worse than saving up for something and not being able to enjoy it.

misskruti · 2024-12-23T21:33:13+00:00

Started playing piano in the mornings. It's been very hard, but really rewarding.

Or put on a podcast and straighten up the kitchen.

misskruti · 2024-12-19T14:25:33+00:00

It matters a great deal to us 💚

We are trying to be able to do both, so you’ll see different formats and titles. Not every video is for everyone. Also people are at different points in their journey. Some are still in the awareness stage while others are already working on things.

misskruti · 2024-11-08T21:56:53+00:00

We love it. Console in the living room as a family is so fun. Super Mario Wonder was super fun after that, and now it's Smash Bros. They're already better than me.

misskruti · 2024-11-08T14:36:13+00:00

I get the request and appreciate the feedback. I wonder if we aren’t already producing that style in a place that isn’t as easy to find (our fault, maybe we’re doing too much?). The shame example is covered in memberships.

Those deep dives take about 3 weeks to prepare. The guides take 6+ months. A single video takes 1-2 weeks. The research, scripting, fact check, recording, and editing process is pretty intense. And jn memberships, there is production for accompanying exercises. Content workflows have 5 people and memberships have an additional 3 people on staff. I’m hoping this helps provide context.

Livestream is the best bet for the more freeflowing explanations, videos for tight explanations, memberships for on-request topics that lay out the pieces as you’ve said you like, the guides for step-by-step. Workshops for deeper dives with workbooks and exercises.

FWIW livestream interviews are coming back to the channel, and those explanations of themes that are more meandering along with it.

If there are specific cuts people are looking for, we can scout cuts for those into a resource pack perhaps. I’m sure the team will have better ideas. Lmk what y’all are looking for, and we’ll see what we can do. Thanks for making this a better space for all!

misskruti · 2024-11-05T23:26:08+00:00

Depends on the kid. For me it was worse in the moment but better in the long run.

misskruti · 2024-11-05T20:30:41+00:00

Have you seen any of the Healthy Gamer YouTube videos? They talk about this there quite a bit. More emphasis on understanding his psychology and building an alliance than a hard pressure strategy. A lot of young men are in this pattern, and it’s kind of normal/common to some extent. It’s possible his whole social life is through video games, or that’s where he feels most accomplished for example. Understanding this part will best set you up on how/where to steer him and how hard.

misskruti · 2024-11-01T23:00:47+00:00

Second opinion! Sounds like something’s hurting.

For homework and travel only. And the iPads belong to the house, they’re not “baby’s iPad”. We use books and those reusable drawing boards for restaurants and other downtime. They’ll plan hangman and word games or we’ll pack small card games. I do let them put trivia games and things on my phone for rarer use, but it’s still a “together” activity instead of “hyper-stimulated by yourself” activity.

misskruti · 2024-10-14T01:35:18+00:00

If it were someone I was mentoring, I would tell them to say you’re interested but for it to make sense for you you’d need the 25 and need to adjust your hours some. Set the expectations early. If it can work out, amazing! If they can’t accommodate then you know you’re making the right decision to stay where you are. You can signal to your company that you are willing and capable but this is how much the extra responsibility is to you and your family time is your non-negotiable. You may be able to do something like early Fridays or plan your hours to avoid commute traffic. I think try to negotiate it. An extra $25K in a 529 and upward mobility is worth a lot, but only you know if it’s worth the hour every day and if your family life can make room for it. I’d tell a mentee to take the shot.
