"Within months, the business failed and I went through a dark, suicidal depression..." Matt Lesser has a story to share: "I grew up in a small, lake community in northeast Indiana. We moved there because my dad had an opportunity to buy into a wholesale oil distributorship.Growing up in a town of 700, living with a family business, and attending a small, Christian school (my graduating class had 7) gave me a very narrow, sheltered view of life. I quickly realized how sheltered my life had been!..."Additional areas discussed include:-regular retreats for him and his employees with no technology -powers of solitude and silence-getting reflective and planning inward-having a support circle-recognizing when you are getting drained -how journaling can change your lifeAfter college, I moved to Florida for a short while. Realizing that was not what I wanted, I moved back to Indiana, proposed to my elementary school sweetheart (we met in 3rd grade and dated from our Junior year of high school on), and were married in 1996. Thinking I would pursue a Master's, my career took an unexpected turn. Instead of resigning, which I attempted, my dad left...and turned the business over to me. Thinking I could do anything because I was 25, arrogant, and prideful, I was about to experience reality. Within months, the business failed and I went through a dark, suicidal depression. Nearly a year later, a new business was born from the ashes, and nearly 12 years later that business was sold. In 2021, I finally jumped "all in" into my own business, after being told by many whom I had worked with over the years that I needed to do this."Link to his episode on Writing with Authors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5pBn7-N8aM&t=3sHave a question for a guest or host?

When Crystal Webster's daughter, Madelyn Elizabeth, was born May 19th, 2010, and then died in my arms just a few hours later I KNEW that this angel was special {I'm a little biased, I know}. She touched so many lives during her very brief one…I just didn't know the right outlet to carry on her life, love, and legacy......I spent the next 5 years grieving her death, healing my heart, and working to bring my Madelyn the siblings she deserved. To this day, Madelyn remains an only child.In 2015, during an uncommon moment of enlightenment, the concept of Sharing Solace hit me like a bolt of lightning. The only way to describe it is that Madelyn knew I was ready to begin to heal - and help others do the same - so she sent the idea to me herself.I realized the gifts I received when Maddie was born - the gifts that once brought me so much comfort - were now bringing back the pain of losing her. I couldn't keep seeing them every day and have a healthy mind {that realization in and of itself provided its own source of grief and guilt}. These gifts were not given to me to be put in a box in the back of a closet - but that's where they sat.Sharing Solace officially launched on May 19, 2018 - Madelyn Elizabeth's would-be 8th birthday. I hope we've made Miss Maddie proud!Link to her episode on That Entrepreneur Show: https://thatentrepreneurshow.buzzsprout.com/737252/13767936-make-your-journey-less-rocky-with-crystal-websterMusic Credits: Adventure by MusicbyAden | https://soundcloud.com/musicbyadenHappy | https://soundcloud.com/morning-kuliBrought to you by Tampa Counseling and Wellness- Dedicated to helping individuals looking to positively transform their lives through compassionate counseling and wellness coaching.

Looking for the strength to overcome a health scare? This week's guest courageously shares her journey battling  an eating disorder, an early onset scare with breast cancer, and managing her anxiety. Other areas of discussion with Alyssa Young: Having a mindset that you are already doing enoughWhy breathing exercises are a game changerDon't downplay your tough timeScheduling time for happinessAt the young age of 14 years old, Alyssa experienced her first anxiety attack. She was actually on a mission trip in Miami with her youth group, and didn't even realize what "anxiety" was at the time. Anxiety can present itself in so many different ways, including physical symptoms of which she was experiencing. Her youth pastor and another one of their other staff members took her to the emergency room late that evening, and as they ran many tests to check everything physically, everything came back normal. Nothing was physically wrong, which was great news, but when they concluded everything, she was told that she had an anxiety attack. Upon returning home from the mission trip, Alyssa followed up with her PCP as normal, and began her journey with a phenomenal therapist. Alyssa learned the ins and outs of anxiety and what it was, what could trigger it, and gained so many amazing tools that she still implements to this day! Since the age of 14, which would be 11 years ago, Alyssa has been thrown many curveballs in her life including an aggressive eating disorder, an early onset scare with breast cancer, being hospitalized due to both of those, and of course the ongoing journey of feeling that she is enough in every way.Stay tuned for the spotlight story at the end of the show.

After 3.5+ years, the show finally has an Instagram Live episode. Welcome back, Tanya.Areas of discussion:Cleaning out our life's clutterChange is never easyLoving yourselfWhat is your message?People PleasingLink to her first episode here: How Therapy Changed Her World: Graphic Design to LCSWHead to her LinkTree in profile on Instagram here Head to her website hereHer Story: ..the one that brought me to therapeutic work, began when I was in my mid-twenties and had my own first experience with a therapist. At the time my love life wasn't living up to my hopes and I wanted a better understanding of what was getting in the way. Some thirty-odd years ago now, going to therapy was something I felt a lot of shame about. I felt flawed, broken, and didn't want to share those parts of myself with someone else, but finding the courage to reach out to my therapist led to more sharing than I ever expected. We met for traditional one-on-one therapy, but soon she was encouraging me to participate in group therapy. I'll admit that I questioned group, but tried it because I trusted her, and through it found answers and a new path.That experience with group therapy changed my life so significantly that not only did I meet and marry my husband during that time, I also made the decision to leave my career as a graphic designer and become a therapist myself, getting a Master's in Social Work from NYU, and dedicating my life to helping others lead lives that they truly love.During my nearly three decades as a licensed clinical social worker, psychotherapist and coach I have run hundreds of groups, and continue to find therapeutic groups to be an incredibly powerful way to foster emotional growth.Although I have extensive experience in outpatient hospital mental health and private practice settings, it's in the action-focused coaching work that I have seen the most lasting change. I have combined my two most powerful tools—group and coaching work—to create my transformational coaching program,  Activate.My own life gets lit up by this work, as well as by my 30-year marriage, my two incredible daughters, my adorable dachshund, a crackling fire, a hike in the woods, hanging with friends, and a really good rom-com. Welcome to A Mental Health Break (Top 5% Global Podcast)- the podcast that normalizes the conversation around mental health.

This US Air Force veteran, retired pediatrician and life coach is back. Get ready for an incredible show.“It's probably a phase.”  When I was 16yrs old I told my Nigerian father that I liked girls. He didn't yell, he didn't get angry at me, he didn't disown me or make me feel bad and somehow inadequate. He did not say anything to make me regret what I had just revealed to him. Instead, he kindly told me his thoughts. “Nne, it's probably a phase.”  While I grew up knowing that I like girls, I did what my parents and the rest of the world expected of me. I married a man, tried to live happily ever after, and went about my business. Then I had my first child. And from the age of 2 to 3, I suspected my child was gay. I also knew that my ex-husband, like most Nigerians, is intensely homophobic and somewhere deep inside, my heart sank.Other areas of discussion:Refuge App- log on and find gender neutral bathroomsGender Identity- how your brain sees you, not how the world doesCatch Dr. Lulu's shows on:Talk show on LinkedIn “Qweer Wednezday Wizdom”  1 pm- helps business and organizations to create safe spaces YouTube 10 am- "Parents of Queer" Kids ShowThursday 1 pm- IG-  The Pride Corner - talking to you about your story and your family's reaction when you came outTwitter/IG/YouTube- @DrLuLUTalkRadio Guest WebsiteWelcome to A Mental Health Break (Top 10% Global Podcast)- the podcast that normalizes the conversation around mental health.

It became clear to me that no matter how healthy I ate, how much nutritional information I knew, or how much I worked out,  these things weren't getting to the ROOT of why I was so out of control with food. Other areas of discussion:Refusing to settleHaving trouble finding a therapist that can relateFeeling compulsive in front of food Digesting emotions The power of nature and taking breaksI used to have this thing with granola. A seemingly healthy food...but when I would eat it I would go through an entire bag in a matter of seconds.It wasn't until my hand hit the bottom of the bag that I would “wake up” from my food trance wondering what alien creature had taken over my body and “who ate all my food?”No matter what I ate - healthy or unhealthy - I always felt crazy and compulsive around food. Food ran my life. It was a secret I kept for over 20 years of my life.I tried to talk to my friends about how my overeating was out of control. They simply said, “Oh Jessica, don't worry. Everyone does that!” Then we'd sign up for a spin class to work off what I overate the night before. It was a valiant effort to make me feel better. But it only made things worse.I tried to seek help in therapy. I spent over 932 hours in therapy and it never touched my relationship with food. Many of the therapists I saw just wanted to put me on some type of medication. Another quick fix.I was already using food to numb myself. I didn't want to be numb anymore. At that point, I had binged ate my way through nutrition school and had become burned out from teaching too many fitness classes on the side. Get ready for the spotlight story at the halfway point. We are going to check out an article on the topic of binge eating and how it relates to your mental health.  Follow along here.Guest WebsiteGuest LinkedInWelcome to A Mental Health Break (Top 10% Global Podcast)- the podcast that normalizes the conversation around mental health.
