About this listen

Sven Erlandson, MDiv., Keynote Speaker, 64-week Top10 best-selling author (8 books), Social Media Creator with 3M+ followers (aka "Badass Counseling").


Founder of Badass Counseling, NYC, he is single-handedly rewriting an entire industry with his "healing shouldn't take a long time," raw and aggressive approach to transformation. He has counseled Special Forces to Hollywood insiders, homeless to Wall Street CEOs, and people in the trades to everyday folks just trying to get by. Always real, always raw, always kind. Former pastor, military, and NCAA Head Coach for Strength.


His 2x/week podcasts feature no-BS, LIVE counseling sessions and Q&A 'lightning rounds' where he takes questions LIVE on three social media platforms, all at one time, rapid-fire. With coarse language and a no-nonsense approach, Sven attacks life's toughest issues — from massive trauma to cheating, suicide to self-worth, career loss to parenting — always challenging guests to dive deep and emerge transformed.


Ranked in the Top 10 for Mental Health/Fitness podcasts, tune in for new counseling sessions every Thursday and hear Sven respond to followers' questions every Sunday. (Content may be explicit.)

It is an incredible podcast that I will follow and listen to for eternity. This guy will open your eyes to not only your own BS but the BS you've been putting up with from other people. On TOP of this, I HIGHLY recommend you download Sven's book "There's a Hole in my Love Cup." I love this guy, I love his podcasts, and I LOVE his book!! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!!

INCREDIBLE!!
