Who are you arguing with? Maybe not the person in front of you. For most of us Trauma argues with trauma. Our real human nature is love, mental clarity, creativity, and a zest for life that is informed by the past but no longer weighed down or controlled by it. Conflict worsens when two people fall into defensive reactions. Then there is no real communication happening, only trauma arguing with trauma. ~ Young PuebloMusic credit to Kalvin Love for the podcast's theme song “Bee Your Best Self”Tune into our CHW Streaming Radio and the full lineup at cominghomewell.comDownload on Apple Play and Google PlayOnline-Therapy.com ~ Life Changing Therapy Click here for a 20% discount on your first month.Contact Suzi at suzigma@gmail.com or (818) 470-2013 and share your story.suzilandolphi.comvetsandplayers.orgwildhorserescue.org Thank you for listening!

Sometimes, taking a leap of faith, moving against the tide, and navigating the chaos can lead to beautiful transformations. Music credit to Kalvin Love for the podcast's theme song “Bee Your Best Self”Contact Suzi at suzigma@gmail.com or (818) 470-2013 and share your story.suzilandolphi.comvetsandplayers.orgwildhorserescue.org Visit our webpage at cominghomewell.comInterested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at cominghomewell@gmail.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellmilitaryInstagram @cominghomewellorganizationFacebook at Coming Home WellLinkedIn at Coming Home WellTwitter @ComingHomeWellThank you for listening!

Imagine a scenario where you're granted permission to rest, to do less; surprising isn't it? That's the kind of metamorphic conversation we're having today, an exploration into the world of rest, sleep, and mental health. We tap into the often ignored concept of post-traumatic growth and the remarkable impact it can make in our lives. Taking a closer look at our daily habits, we question if our actions during the day are the thieves of our good night's rest. Can your bedroom environment hold the key to unlocking better sleep? We think it does! In the second segment, we bring practicality to the forefront, discussing the monumental role your bedroom's ambience plays in sleep preparation. From the perfect sheets and soothing scents to the ideal lighting, we leave no stone unturned. We also touch base on the influence of trauma on sleep patterns, emphasizing the crucial role of establishing a calming bedtime routine with our kids. Join me, Susie Landolphi, on this journey towards a more rested and well-rounded life.Suzi favorite morning tea recipe: Two PG Tips tea bags, steep 3 minutes, add two tsp Turbinado Sugar, half and half to taste and enjoy!Music credit to Kalvin Love for the podcast's theme song “Bee Your Best Self”Contact Suzi at suzigma@gmail.com or (818) 470-2013 and share your story.suzilandolphi.comvetsandplayers.orgwildhorserescue.org Visit our webpage at cominghomewell.comInterested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at cominghomewell@gmail.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellmilitaryInstagram @cominghomewellorganizationFacebook at Coming Home WellLinkedIn at Coming Home WellTwitter @ComingHomeWellThank you for listening!

Ever had a moment where someone else's joy didn't make you happy? Today on Be Crazy Well, we have an illuminating conversation about navigating complex emotions like anger, resentment, and the blurred lines of fear and sadness that they often mask. Through a poignant narrative about a mother and her two daughters, we tackle the concept of 'learned helplessness' and reveal how sometimes, in our quest to do good, we might just be causing more harm. This episode paints a vivid picture of how our reactions to trauma can shape our lives and the role of mental health practices in helping us to become the individuals we aspire to be.Are we poisoning ourselves with resentment? What happens when we hold expectations for the people we help? As we peel back these layers, we discuss the potential dangers resentment poses to our physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, and financial health. Along the way, we question why anger isn't recognized as a primary emotion and why it's crucial to teach our children self-care. Join us as we explore these intriguing topics and more, demonstrating how understanding and embracing our emotions can propel us towards personal growth. Remember, growth isn't always about moving forward, but sometimes about digging deep.

Suzi has the pleasure of speaking with Charlotte Rayfield, dear friend and an incredible young lady. Charlotte is 25 years old and a senior in college and has Cerebral Palsy. She is giving insight from the other side of the narrative in caregiving as the one receiving. Oftentimes we focus as a society on caregiving for the elderly but what about caregiving for young adults who are disabled? This is a completely different approach and having the knowledge given to us by those receiving the care is empowering to do a better job. What are your experiences as a young adult receiving care? What feedback can you provide so we as caregivers can do better and be better at providing care?Email Suzi at suzigma@gmail.com with your comments and suggestions. She would like to hear what you can teach us as caregivers.Congrats to Be Crazy Well for being in the Top 100 Mental Health PodcastsMusic credit to Kalvin Love for the podcast's theme song “Bee Your Best Self”Contact Suzi at suzigma@gmail.com or (818) 470-2013 and share your story.vetsandplayers.orgwildhorserescue.org Visit our webpage at cominghomewell.comInterested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at cominghomewell@gmail.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellmilitaryInstagram @cominghomewellorganizationFacebook at Coming Home WellLinkedIn at Coming Home WellTwitter @ComingHomeWellThank you for listening!

Gentling the soul through equine therapy. Suzi talks about an organization dear to her heart, Lifesavers Wild Horse Rescue and how horses are helping veterans to heal. Horses live in the moment, and they are sensitive to energy levels, so it is important to be honest about how you are feeling in that moment. Your thoughts, feelings and actions must be the same in order to be honest. If you are being honest with how you are feeling the horse will respond in kindness. One has to learn to be congruent, consistent and how to pressure and release when interacting with the horse.  One practice used is a "Please and Thank you" approach.Listen in as Suzi gives examples of how they work to gentle the wild horses and use this practice to help veterans to heal. Music credit to Kalvin Love for the podcast's theme song “Bee Your Best Self”Contact Suzi at suzigma@gmail.com or (818) 470-2013 and share your story.vetsandplayers.orgwildhorserescue.org Visit our webpage at cominghomewell.comInterested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at cominghomewell@gmail.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellmilitaryInstagram @cominghomewellorganizationFacebook at Coming Home WellLinkedIn at Coming Home WellTwitter @ComingHomeWellThank you for listening!

Finding agency and his purpose is how he rolls. Dustin Belusack, U.S. Army National Guard Veteran and Merging Vets and Players Virtual Program Manager, is Suzi's guest today. "I'm a proud native of the burbs of Cleveland, Ohio, and a veteran of the Army National Guard. After being activated, I lost myself and my drive, and eventually, I lost everything, I took the time to reflect on my life and make the necessary changes to become the best version of myself. It hasn't been easy, but I'm determined to keep learning and growing every day. I'm excited to see what the future holds and am committed to making a positive impact in the world." ~ DustinDustin BioDustin served in the Army National Guard from 1999 to 2006. His motivation to join the military came from a desire to understand his father's service in Vietnam. Dustin served as a mechanized mortarman until 9/11, and then even though he was at school at the time, he was placed on active duty. In 2016, Dustin ended up in transitional housing while looking to change his life. He decided to start saying 'yes' to healthy changes.Dustin was then offered a job at a non-profit that helps stray animals, and when Covid hit, his team adjusted the mission to help low-income communities, increasing outreach. Because of a more robust need for systems, Dustin created a process of ordering, packaging, and delivering pet food to over 32,000 animals, which is still in use. Dustin first heard about MVP while living in veteran transitional housing and he decided to give MVP a try. Dustin loved the organization and was motivated by the team to keep showing up and hold himself accountable...and it changed his life forever. Contact: dbeluscak@vetsandplayers.orgMusic credit to Kalvin Love for the podcast's theme song “Bee Your Best Self”Contact Suzi at suzigma@gmail.com or (818) 470-2013 and share your story.vetsandplayers.orgwildhorserescue.org Visit our webpage at cominghomewell.comInterested in sponsoring our podcasts email us at cominghomewell@gmail.comFollow us on our socialsYouTube @cominghomewellmilitaryInstagram @cominghomewellorganizationFacebook at Coming Home WellLinkedIn at Coming Home WellTwitter @ComingHomeWellThank you for listening!
