Meaning To Live Counseling

04/01/2026

High school years can be some of the most challenging - and often, teen boys feel like they have to handle it all on their own.

At Meaning to Live Counseling, I work specifically with adolescent males to create a space where they can be real, talk openly, and build the tools they need to navigate stress, pressure, and life’s challenges with confidence.

If you’re a parent, school counselor, or educator working with teen boys, I’d love to connect and be a resource.

Reminds me of the Epstein files...

When you think about it, waiting years or decades even to take accountability - publicly - for misbehaviors of the past is a brilliant way to avoid consequences.

Un-inspiring, weak of mind and cowardly - and I bet you made a lot of money by tricking a lot of people... But a brilliant avoidance tactic.

What do you think?

I was digging up a root today and it reminded me of therapy (everything basically does these days).

Clients don't wanna hear this but if the root is still there, issues in life usually grow back.

Real change often means going a little deeper.

I’ve had a number of people ask how to stay connected outside of videos, so I decided to put something simple together.

Once a month, I’ll send a short email—just a thought, a pattern I’m noticing, or something you can actually use in real life.

Nothing overwhelming. No spam.

If that sounds helpful: 👉

Real thoughts on life, patterns, and mental health—without the fluff or overcomplication. Once a month, I’ll share something I’m noticing, something to think about, and something you can actually use.

Once we acknowledge the behavior, say we’re sorry, and commit to doing better… the street is cleaned.

No endless groveling.
No emotional debt.
Just accountability.

I wrote a short article breaking down what a real apology actually is - and one simple mistake that quietly destroys most apologies.

You can read the article below 👇

And if you want the full discussion, it's the Jed Said Therapy Video #138 on YouTube.

Awareness up.

“Sorry.”It’s one of the most commonly used words in modern conversation. Someone bumps into us in the grocery store - sorry. Someone passes the salt - sorry. Someone holds the door - sorry. At some point, the word started drifting into territory where it doesn’t belong. It’s almost like so...

I had the chance to share a bit of my story with Voyage Utah this week.

From growing up in Southern Utah… to career pivots… to building Meaning To Live Counseling and the Jed Said Therapy channel.

The core idea hasn’t changed: You’re probably more resilient than you think.

And special thanks to Voyage Utah taking the time to feature my health clinic and here's the link if you’d like to read the interview:

Today we’d like to introduce you to Jed Thorpe. Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?I’m kinda weird about the whole “what’s your story” angle because I think everyone has a fo...

What works best - Professional credibility that’s bought, or credibility that’s earned over time?

After 7 years of posting mental health content online (over 1,000 YouTube and tiktok videos combined and thousands of original therapy memes via Instagram and Facebook), I’ve noticed something interesting.

There’s an entire ecosystem built around selling professional credibility!

Paid awards.
Promoted posts.
Boosted content.
Paid magazine covers.
Paid “top professional” lists.
Even $80/month visibility tiers on LinkedIn.

This would be a great data study for someone in informatics but alas, I'm only a therapist.

That said, I'll post a short blog about it later today here 👉 www meaningtolive.com but in the meantime - would love to hear what you think -

Cheers,
Jed

Big news for the Meaning To Live Counseling community!

I’m pleased to share that Meaning To Live Counseling is now in-network with UnitedHealthcare / United Behavioral Health.

This means many individuals and families with UnitedHealthcare behavioral health coverage may now be able to use their insurance benefits when scheduling counseling services.

My practice focuses on helping people navigate:
• Relationship challenges
• Divorce and major life transitions
• Stress, anxiety, and personal growth
• Communication and emotional clarity

If you or someone you know has UnitedHealthcare behavioral health benefits, this may make counseling more accessible.
