MAURICE BENARD STATE OF MIND w/ LISA LOCICERO & DOMINIC ZAMPROGNA: Family, Relationships & Sex

This week’s episode Dominic Zamprogna and Lisa LoCicero return to State of Mind. Sometimes when we start a conversation we can't really control where it will naturally wind up. This time I think it turned into a pretty interesting conversation about family, relationships and sex.

Maurice has a way of tackling sensitive subjects without making anyone feel uncomfortable, that’s what I love about him.❤️

[@dianeb5911]

Totally agree. It's like you're sitting with your best friend.

[@MBStateOfMind]

Thanks thanks thanks 😊 yes 👍🏿

[@steelpaine9932]

Exactly, great conversations!

[@tammyboon6259]

Yea, I can't quite explain, how incredible this conversation was. For me especially seeing both Dom & Maurice BE VERY VULNERABLE in this area & how much is related to their identity was very informing. Women can tend to feel, "we are the over thinkers, and we are the ones who have insecurities." I agree that this conversation doesn't happen!!!! AND it was done in a very sensitive way. I don't know what other platform would suit this!!!

[@reginaburns8277]

Lisa & Dom ‘s relationship in real life is so comfortable and truly translates on the show. Lisa is so intelligent and willing to learn & explore more. Great interview again

[@dianegallas9919]

Lost respect. Such potty mouths.

[@joycebrewster5807]

[@dianemancino]

Love Domnick n Lisa on state of mind love them both love Dante n Olivia roles on gh Great Actor n Great Actress❤😊

[@metaminder6149]

I decided to check out State of Mind tonight. Now I'm binging it. 1. Kimberly M. 2. Bryan C. Now it's Dom & Lisa. I feel so honored to be invited into the lives of actors who've brought so much joy to my life on #General Hospital. Watching these conversations helps me feel connected to you all empathetically. What a treat. Thank you so much.

[@kelsieyork144]

Lisa is such a beautiful soul

[@cindykolze7959]

I know, right. I want to be her friend.🤣🤣🤣

[@ediecarbone3354]

Love her energy.

[@Truckit-kd6rw]

3:02 "I have a feeling I'm going to cry today"...."Oh Shhh" lol "do you want me to make you not cry" lol

[@birdielaytham4881]

Lisa is so much like Olivia , in some ways,🤣 her reasoning, etc.. I love it

[@ediecarbone3354]

I could listen to Lisa talk every week. She's intelligent, and to the point and genuine. And Dominic is a modern man that actually is in tune with his feelings. Maurice you remind me of my dad....still a little old fashion with the macho thing but working on becoming a better communicator and more in tune with your emotions and that it is ok to cry. Loved today's State of Mind.

[@bridge2336]

I truly got something out of this particular episode Maurice. I love the group dynamic and the different Perspectives. It would also be great to have Dominic and Lisa back once a month.

[@dianemancino]

Great Actor Dominic n Actress Lisa so Great they both Bring Alot to gh been watching Dante for years love his his role as dectective Falcarnara love Lisa Great Actress love her playing her role asNeds wife shes Amazing loved how shes bring up her children thats a great way n great mother take no shit both are great❤❤

[@jessiebrinneman7365]

Love this! Maurice, Lisa, and Dominic are great together both on-screen and off. Love the real life talk.

[@dianemancino]

I can relate to this guys u are All great❤❤❤

[@Julieglam3]

The way Lisa explained about women/girls being conditioned to be "people pleasers" and how that manifests, especially when it comes to sex, was dead on accurate. And Dom getting that was so great! And your honesty Maurice regarding the subject was so helpful but I know sometimes it has to be difficult to talk about. However, your willingness to bring it out and have these conversations is so important. Because it helps to break all the stigmas surrounding it. Thank you once again for an insightful, intelligent interview. 💗

[@sandyr8173]

Everything you do is so informative and truly gives people better perspectives. I'm grateful for you Maurice 🙏❤

[@debrajones7363]

I love Maurice he is the best

[@debrajones7363]

Maurice state of mine show is great

[@qlawyer]

More, please. This was super fun to see this reel family speak honestly.

[@jabjab4434]

I've noticed with age I'm not as focused on people pleasing at age 65. I feel I've arrived to a healthy evolvement. It's not imperative that you like me. And that allows me to still be who I am ... A kind person with boundries. Direct feedback is a great thing. It's pure freedom.

[@rachelfoley7403]

I loved this episode. The 3 of you are so good and comfortable together. I think it's very brave how honest and open you are about such personal issues. You are helping so many people. Thank you for all you do. And I love the way the 3 of you talk and bounce ideas and complement each other. It shows what a great relationship you all have ❤️❤️

[@chada7094]

Thank you Maurice, Dom and Lisa for this amazing 42 minutes today, such an informative and interesting conversation. As soap stars/actors you feel this pressure to be there for your vulnerable fans who might see you as their only life line. I would say to Lisa you're not their psychotherapist, doctor, support worker etc you can't save them all. Sorry to ramble on but Social Media makes us and I see it, especially with you, Laura and maybe others care what people say or are thinking. Its tough

[@MBStateOfMind]

Thanks 😊

[@AD-rr9uz]

Yes, please invite them back for regular “counseling” sessions! Dom & Lisa rock! This is so helpful for multiple reasons. Your comment on what you have learned about sex in the relationship & not being fair to the lady was a huge “AHA” moment for me & my previous relationship. Thanks for discussing it. Glad you have your “mojo” back. Keep the gray hair going, looks great. Don’t you realize how many of us women love gray haired men!

[@donnan8648]

YES to you three doing this again. It is nice to see you folks who KNOW each other on another level come out and talk together honestly and obviously learn from each other. Thanks!

[@iamaminow]

I like the group settings, it gives textures, different perspectives and insightfulness.

[@toniidowu6428]

This was awesome. Thank you, Maurice, Lisa, and Dom for this open conversation about how men and women view sex. This was great because you guys aren’t sex therapists, just regular folks talking about life just like the rest of us. I loved it and yes I would love to see more conversations between you guys on this subject. Bring it on. Lisa, you’re the best. Keep teaching your daughter not to take shit from anyone. Love it. You guys are so good together, like family. ♥️ can’t wait till the next sessions. I’ll put it on my calendar for sure. God bless ♥️

[@terrystewart9605]

Lisa is one of the most Beauitful women I have ever seen. and a very good actress.

[@divyaganesan9674]

Such an Important topic hardly ever discussed anywhere ! Great job 👏🏽 Love you Dom😍

[@ghfan51184]

I love each time you have Dom and Lisa on whether together or individually. I feel like I learn so much from all of you. thanks for posting!

[@marysnellgrove6695]

I love when you have Dominic and Lisa on State of Mind with you. I watch every Sunday. Todays episode was so truthful and full of Raw emotion. I too on on meds for panic an anxiety disorder and you show helps me alot. Never stop doing it. It is powerful and means so much to so many. Blessings to you and your family

[@israk7478]

Maurice, your talks with Dom and Lisa are really inspiring. I'd love you all to do these talks once a month. They are very informative and I think the reason you're all so comfortable with one another to talk so freely stems from your work relationship and genuine trust and love

[@juliegibson-2020]

I honestly can't believe I missed this episode before. The three of you have such a relaxed dynamic - it's truly a wonderful thing to watch. I really GOT so much of the things discussed, either because I witnessed it or lived it myself. Definitely would love to see more like this!! ❤

[@meaghan8740]

This was such an interesting conversation. I really appreciated the openness and honesty:)

[@Savinaismybaby26]

It would be a honor to see the three of you do this on a regular basis. It would be something to look forward to each month. I watched a lot of State of Mind shows and this one is my favorite. I am going to watch it again!

[@tikeya7952]

OMG, I love the three of you so much...your GH characters AND your real-life personalities.

[@MDDR-io7nh]

I absolutely appreciate what you're doing with State of Mind! PLEASE don't stop. You're helping more people than you’ll ever know!! Much Love & God Bless!

[@louiseferrell1555]

Sonny's son and baby mama! Love them both!!

[@moonshadowessentialssoapsn5287]

I raised 3 kid’s they are 20,23 n 28 and I absolutely raised them not to care about other ppls options and to gladly tell ppl to fuck off. However, not with me they wouldn’t dare. I am 4’10” I’m Sicilian American all my kids are martial arts trained my oldest is a black belt and he and my younger son tower over me. My daughter is 4’8”. But, neither of those boys would dare speak to me disrespectfully and I’m in congested heart failure on oxygen and they wouldn’t have the ball’s. U can’t allow ur kids to disrespect u. I love these two n I love Dante n Sam.

[@ErinNorthcuttEvans]

Love the Falconari family dynamic. Lisa is a wealth of information along with the men who have the experience

[@rebeccarodriguez2581]

Love this honest, vulnerable discussion!

[@ckap9187]

Yes..please continue to enrich our lives with these deeply honest, thought provoking conversations. Mental health/life lesson conversations are so needed at this time in our universe. Gratitude.

[@jaddison1112]

I love that these three just let it all hang out, even with their language and be so honest. I used to be all closed up, panic and depression, house bound, self hate, from anxiety attacks from the time I was in High School and college. I'm 70 (still struggle at times), and these interviews are great and help to see new things. I wish this kind of open, honest talk was around when I had my first nervous breakdown at 17 years old freshman year of college in 1968.

[@rhondahoneycutt9867]

another great state of mind. enjoyed Dom and Lisa. would love to see y’all do more like conversations. thanks for all you do for mental health. it’s real and enlightening. thank you for sharing your self and time with us. may god bless you and your family.

[@marionhumble5096]

Maurice, where can I find your book, that was on the stand behind you in today's show with you, Lisa, & Dom?

[@Shaloobash]

I love these State of Minds about as much as I love your music choices in the car❤️ but seriously please keep doing it! It’s raw and it’s real life issues!

[@CindyDC]

This was a great show today,.. I love what you do,.. and thank you Maurice for taking the time to talk to your fans,.. lol the first time you acknowledged one of my tweets I thought oh wow ! How cool is this,.. lol..you are 100% awesome and a good man,.. and a Brilliant actor,.. you have my heart ✌️

[@marycrane3735]

I vote for the three of you together once a month too. The people have spoken..

[@myboo257]

Maurice thank you so much for what you do. This was a great episode

[@evelynburgos6020]

I'm a cry baby, I'm such and emotional person. Sometimes I ask myself where all this tears come from and if they ever end. But this is who I am and who knows me I always cry for everything, maybe for things I should not cry but this is who I am. I admire you Maurice and I love every single thing about you. God bless you always.

[@aprilfoxbilligmeier2059]

Love these open conversations....please have them back. This was so good. I grew up with a mother that was bipolar. Unfortunately...she was so unhappy she would abuse me emotionally to feel her void. Of courseI have spent years trying to love who I am. Now I have a daughter that is bipolar and now a granddaughter that is showing tendencies of the illness. The more we can talk about mental illness, the more people don't feel like outcasts. And please have Dom and Lisa on monthly. The information you are putting out into the universe in so valuable. Thank you so much for what you're doing!!!!

[@melaneymattson3733]

Loved listening and learning from the three of you. Great therapy session!! Let's do it again.

[@jeanmarienuno1579]

All your shows are amazing but this one off the charts!!! Would love to have you guys do this once a month!!

[@lindaperez137]

I love to see all 3 of you guys .It's amazing, it helps me so much guys you don't even know ❤🙏Please continue State of mind

[@buddysrufflife2199]

I appreciate how open and honest these conversations are! Great job!

[@tiblu68]

Love the three of you together 💞💕 Y’all really have a famIly feel 💞💕

[@Dusk1962]

Please Dom and Lisa back. These conversations are so important. I have anxiety and depression is so important that we have open and honest conversations about this especially with everything going on in the world. I love and appreciate State of Mind. I watch every week.

[@MelissaTozzi]

Great show! Thank you Maurice, Dominic, and Lisa for your sharing your stories and being vulnerable!

[@JaniceSumler]

If you only knew how I wanted to enter that conversation! I commend you three for being so open and vulnerable. That isn’t an easy topic to discuss in front of an audience. Who knows how many you helped.

[@jenschoice]

What a great session this was! I really felt like I wanted to share it with my husband. So many great points were shared. Having these two regularly would be an incredible service. Stay well, and thank you for sharing yourself so openly every week. 🤗😘

[@mitziecyrus4205]

Am enjoying conversation,am a General Hospital fan for about 30 years,how am I just knowing about this show. Am loving it

[@avamcwashington6148]

This is such a good show. I have just discovered this because of searching about Kin Shriner one day and I felt like I am getting great counseling during the pandemic. I am bipolar, morbidly obese with Parkinson’s and I am 63 years old from Oakland California. I have loved General Hospital since it started in the 1960’s watching it with my grandmother. I realize as a child I had depression, and it helps to relate to others with the same chemical imbalance. I took every medication like lithium and at least 30 others. I realize now that surrounding my self with positivity really makes the difference. I did find Jesus in 1985 with saved my life, but bipolar disease is a daily fight. I love your show 🙏🏼

[@Heather_1964]

This was really good. I would love to see them once a month. I love how real it was. If only I could get my husband to watch this. Because when I've had a stressful day and say no, he feels I don't want or love him. Which could be so far from the truth. Thank you for State of Mind!!

[@jeancowing8163]

Definitely thought-provoking when the discussion brings you back to particular moments in your life. So much cheaper than therapy. Keep them coming! We all have so much we can learn from each other!

[@lisaromero9702]

This conversation is very important and I wish more people would be this honest....

[@Lildarlin1]

Thanks Maurice for all you do. It truly helps so many people with mental illness. Your the man my friend😊

[@jenniferlester511]

It is so refreshing to hear you talk so openly about your mental illness, discussion about mental illness should never be anything that is taboo to be brought into discussion. You are a wonderful guy Maurice!!!

[@kathyhutchins5130]

Maurice, it would be an honor to see you three once a month for as long as possible. Raw and truthful conversations are rare and a treat to experience.

[@shirleystrickler6781]

Love you 3,do more of them♥️

[@njo411able]

PLEASE PLEASE do another with the 3 of you. Each month if possible. This is by far one of the best. Absolutely raw and transparent which requires strength and vulnerability which the world needs. You three are AMAZING 👏 ❤

[@tiffanyfoster87]

I absolutely loved this one! Yes more of these please. I love how opened and honest yall are. Maurice, you are amazing! This helps alot! I wish I could do this.

[@QueenSoap]

Another honest and great episode. This kind of open conversation is what can make a real difference and change the way people behave, but in most spaces, people just bark at each other for saying the wrong things and no one really gets into why they do the things they do. The conversation doesn't happen. This is great.

[@paulahageman6292]

Thank you also for your book I’ve look back I understand more about my moods swings and my living with Bi polar

Thank you all for you vulnerability and willingness to go wherever the convo takes you. Seriously, what a great combination - the mutual respect and love you have for each other, the intelligence, honesty and sensitivity you all demonstrate, is refreshing, entertaining and thought-provoking. More Mo, Dom & Lisa PLEASE!! ✌️❤️🙏

[@jodisacca6711]

Maurice, I’ve been watching GH since 1986, the past few years my husband joined me and has been hooked ever since. Every Sunday I look forward to SOM and enjoy all your guests because everyone brings something different to your podcast that I can relate to. Today was the best.. Love Lisa and Dom and the 3 of you should be a regular because y’all keep it r

[@jodisacca6711]

Sorry sent before finishing…. keep it real and raw.. My husband happened to be listening tonight and you guys helped us with the same struggles in our marriage. Thank you all, you made our night. Much love from florida ❤️😘

[@LG-kx8xl]

Maurice makes you comfortable & is totally transparent which allows his guests to be too. He also has the best questions/discussions, never boring & emotional to the core. Love it!💯❤🙏🔥

This was the most eye opening conversation....PLEASE have them back!!!!!!!

[@lizcristiano6362]

Great show enjoyed watching it continue to do these love you guys

[@christinak1759]

Mr. Bernard I am soo proud that you are able to discuss your difficulties the meds and how those meds affected you. I am a mental health counselor based in NY and I wish people were more comfortable discussing these things. SO many men deal with loss of libido with Lexapro but we can only help when you discuss it with us. Thank you.

[@peternewell3570]

State of Mind is like home therapy. I love to hear about other problems and how they deal with them. Keep up the great work.

[@ElJefeNLA]

I don't want to sound crass but, not only is this helping me but hearing you all curse is everything! Thank you for being so open honest and real!

[@Kimmerdean]

Every time I watch one of these, I think what an exceptional actor you are. Because you are so different than Sonny. Amazing!!

[@lynnbright3068]

I watch State of Mind as often as I can . It is always so excellant but this particular one is one that I won't soon forget. The guests were amazing and Maurice was at his best . Way to go. I reccomended these Podcasts to my son .

[@begummyg12]

This was a great watch! Taking real life issues and talking them out to make sense and learn from them! I would watch a thousand more episodes of this!

[@stacyvahanian8972]

The trio is great because Lisa can summarize and help you guys come to a conclusion of how you are feeling.

[@livinnparadise]

I love the 3 of you together. You’re so natural and comfortable. This is an important conversation. I’m a mom of 3 adult sons and these conversations need to be had in order to raise great husbands and fathers. Love you Maurice. Stay strong.

[@annettephillips872]

I want more, more, more of you 3, please!!! Learned so much & I have been learning about mental illness for about 40 years. Kudos to you & Dom & Lisa for continuing to teach me something new. Love it soooooo much!!!

[@fearlesslady958]

I love the fact that this is uncensored and real.

[@erinjones6384]

Lisa's comments about raising ladies...yes I totally agree & understand. I have 2 daughters...I teach them to stand up for themselves as best they can. They will know self defense and self respect!!! You three are amazing. I have watched yall on GH for 9 years and realizing at 33 I do suffer from some type of anxiety and depression at times and seriously worry what others think. Knowing I'm not alone makes it better in a way if it makes sense. Thank you for the being so real and honest. I would also love love love to see you three on the regular. It's a great dynamic

[@scifigirl57]

Mo, Dom & Lisa you may just play family on TV, but the three of you are talking about issues that real families should be talking about. I love these candid conversations from three intelligent & sensitive people about mental illness but also issues we all face in our lives. Please keep doing them, you three! ♥️

[@Wishicouldpicksix]

I accidently came across State of Mind. I can honestly say I absolutely think it's great. I know your gonna help people. Keep up the great conversations Maurice
