About Your Host
Scott Kahler
Thought Tonic was founded by Scott Kahler (he/him) out of his experiences as a licensed therapist, a certified life coach, and a credentialed clinical supervisor. According to his mother, when Scott was very young – just 5 or 6 years old – he was asked what he wanted to do when he grew up; his answer was “to help people with what is in their heads.” This story is the inspiration behind the name, “Thought Tonic,” as Scott intends for the blog posts and their related podcast episodes to serve as a tonic to help visitors refresh their thinking and support their overall sense of well-being.
