Welcome to Episode 17 of the Tactical Recovery Podcast with Colin and Brock! In this episode, we dive deep into Brock's incredible journey as he conquered the 29029 Everest Challenge at Snowbasin Mountain. The challenge? Climbing a total of 29,029 feet—the equivalent height of Mount Everest. Brock's experience wasn't just a physical battle; it was an emotional and mental test as he faced pain, anger, excitement, and discouragement, all while pushing himself to reach the summit, again and again. But this challenge isn't just about the mountain—it's a powerful metaphor for recovery. Just like the relentless uphill grind of 29029, the path to sobriety is steep, exhausting, and requires perseverance through moments when giving up feels easier than pressing on. In this episode, we explore the parallels between the endurance needed to complete the 29029 challenge and the resilience necessary to stay committed to recovery. The determination to overcome one ascent at a time, despite the overwhelming obstacles, mirrors the day-by-day effort required to stay sober and rebuild your life. Join us as we unpack the lessons learned from this grueling experience and how they apply to your personal journey in recovery. Whether you're facing a mountain or fighting for sobriety, the principles are the same: grit, community support, and an unyielding belief that you can rise above whatever stands in your way. Get ready to be inspired and motivated to tackle your own Everest, one step at a time. 4o --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brock-m-bevell/support

Hello, tactical thinkers, and welcome back to the Tactical Recovery Podcast Episode 8! We are your host, Colin, and Brock. Today, we're taking on a topic that affects us all: the power of the ego and its role in keeping us using. The ego is a formidable force, often driving us to make decisions that aren't in our best interest, especially when it comes to recovery. It's like trying to navigate treacherous terrain blindfolded. The ego can cloud our judgment, fueling denial and resistance to change. It's like a barrier that stands between us and our path to healing. Think about it this way: when I'm faced with a challenging situation, my ego might convince me to take the easy way out, even if it means compromising my recovery. It's a constant battle between what's comfortable and what's necessary for growth. So, listeners, as we delve into today's discussion, we encourage you to reflect on your own experiences with the ego. How has it influenced your journey towards recovery? Recognizing its power is the first step towards breaking free from its grip. It's time to take back control and silence the ego's destructive voice once and for all. We hope you found our discussion on the ego enlightening and empowering. Until next time, stay strong, stay resilient, and stay tactical. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/brock-m-bevell/support

Welcome back to Tactical Recovery, the podcast where we explore the intricacies of addiction and recovery, providing you with the tools and strategies to navigate through the chaos and find your path to healing. Today, we're diving deep into the depths of addiction and discussing the powerful tools that can help shatter the chaos that often accompanies it. Let's start by acknowledging the complexity of addiction. It's not just about the substance or behavior itself but often involves a tangled web of underlying issues, trauma, and mental health challenges One of the most powerful tools is self-awareness. This involves developing a deep understanding of one's triggers, patterns, and underlying emotions. Colin personalises this by sharing the struggles he and his family experienced2 while attempting an intervention. Addiction is real and attaches itself to many of us. Stay strong and fight on.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to Episode #4, of "Tactical Recovery" with Colin and Brock. Today, we're delving into the harrowing reality of addiction and the lengths we'll go to satisfy it. Colin has bravely shared his experience of chasing that elusive high, even when it led him down a dangerous path. Colin recounted a particularly intense moment during his time in Oakland, where he found himself consumed by the relentless grip of addiction. In a desperate attempt to feed his craving, he ventured out of the safety of his surroundings and into the streets, ultimately encountering a drug dealer who offered him "black tar heroin." The mere fact that he would take such risks illustrates the depths of his addiction and the lengths he was willing to go to get high. What's especially striking about Colin's story is the sheer insanity of it all. Dropping the heroin in a porta-potty, retrieving it, and still using it despite the obvious dangers highlights the powerlessness that addiction can hold over an individual. It's a stark reminder of how addiction can cloud judgment and drive individuals to make irrational decisions, all in the pursuit of temporary relief. But Colin's story also serves as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Despite facing overwhelming challenges and navigating through dark times, he's here today, sharing his journey towards recovery. It's a reminder that no matter how dire the situation may seem, there's always hope for redemption and healing. So, as we reflect on Colin's journey, let's also remember that recovery is possible. It may not be easy, and it may require immense courage and determination, but with support, perseverance, and a willingness to confront the realities of addiction, healing is within reach. Thank you for joining us on this episode of Tactical Recovery. Remember, you're not alone, and there's always a way forward. Until next time, stay strong and stay resilient.

Episode #3: Wanna Break Free, Let Go Of The Ego. Welcome back, everyone, to another episode of the Tactical Recovery Podcast. Today, we're diving deep into a topic that's fundamental to recovery: letting go of ego and allowing others to lead. This is crucial in our journey towards healing and growth. The ego can often be a barrier to progress. It's that voice inside us that wants to control everything, that wants to be right all the time. But in recovery, we quickly learn that surrendering that ego is essential. It's about recognizing that we don't have all the answers and that we can benefit from the wisdom and guidance of others who have walked similar paths. And part of that is also acknowledging that everyone's journey is unique. What works for one person might not work for another. And that's okay. Recovery is not one-size-fits-all. It's about finding what resonates with you and what helps you stay on the path of healing. That's why it's so important to stay open-minded and explore different modalities of recovery. Whether it's jumping 150 foot jumps, therapy, meditation, exercise, or creative outlets, there are countless ways to support our journey. The key is to focus on doing the next right thing, whatever that may be for you. It's about trusting the process and trusting ourselves enough to know when to seek help and when to follow the guidance of others. And through that process, we can truly find freedom from the chains of addiction and reclaim our lives. Thank you to our listeners. And remember, recovery is possible. Keep taking those small steps forward, and never lose hope. Stay strong, everyone. Colin and Brock can be reached at tacticalrecovery on IG!

Welcome to another episode of the Chase The Vase Podcast, where we discuss how to become an overcomer. On this episode, I am blessed to share the microphone with a world class mountaineer, professional drummer, 8th degree black belt all while being blind. At the age of 26 Shihan Mike who was already a martial arts instructor, lost his eyesight due to a hereditary disease. Before losing his sight Sensei Mike was warned by his doctors to STOP practicing martial arts, but Sensei Mike's passion for the martial arts would never let him stop. Shihan Mike continued to teach and practice martial arts, and eventually he lost his eyesight completely. It is not known whether or not the Martial Arts was a contributing factor but Sensei Mike has no regrets. The discipline and determination that Sensei Mike has formed through his practice of Martial Arts has helped him not only adjust to the loss of his sight, but also overcome challenges any sighted man would have difficulty with. Sensei Mike and his sighted guides on top of Mt. Kilimanjaro Outside of teaching martial arts Sensei Mike Armstrong is a professional drummer and adventurer. In the recent years he has summited Mt. Kilimanjaro the tallest mountain in Africa, participated in the World Team Sports Adventure Challenge, and has become the only Blind man to hike the Arizona trail a 807 mile trail that took 57 days to complete.

My guest today is a decorated retired police sergeant and friend. He is a former USAF Security Force Captain and a national speaker. He advocates for awareness and education on Post Traumatic Stress Injury for military and first responders. Michael has released his first book titled, "Relentless Courage Winning The Battle Against Frontline Trauma. This country continues to battle through a mental health crisis and trauma is an underlining factor. So many of us who have been on the front lines refuse to seek help. We are not stubborn or old school, we are afraid of what lies beneath. In our minds, we believe that as long as we continue to feed the monster, it will remain pacified and constrained. Unfortunately, this is a fallacy! Relentless Courage, changes the mindset. It flips the script on our "old school thinking." We are trained warriors and we place ourselves in the thick of it, but bravery extends into reaching out to another. Michael has done that!

We are an anomaly! Imagine this....Parents, we are the only generation who grew up without technology, raising children who only know technology. Parents today are behind the technology curve, while our children are expert technologist. Our kids have never experienced a buzzy signal. They've never been placed on hold. The never had to unplug the house phone and plug it into a computer to get on the internet. This is evolution at it's finest. We all understand that our children can be directly influenced by information gathered from the internet. They are also learning at an alarming rate and need guidance. With the enormous amount of information passing through our brains on a daily basis, we need to be sure our children are safe and are not engaging in harmful behaviors. The daily news provides grim reminders of what can occur when our children go unprotected. From exploitation of children, child trafficking, overt drug transactions, sextortion and pornography, usually gain the most attention. While suicide, mental health issues and bullying are minimized.

As the Opioid and Fentanyl crisis continues to have a grip on our communities, there are sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, moms and dads, whose lives are cut short because of accidental overdoses. Flindt is on the forefront of the epidemic. He is on a mission to communicate this reality and create change in a multitude of ways. Flindt started drinking at age 13. His habit progressed to harder drugs through high school and college, which paved the way to a 23 year battle with Opioids. He was taking 70-80 Vicodin pills daily until his best friend admitted him into the Betty Ford treatment center in 2001. He's been in recovery since. Flindt and I hope that parents understand that kids will experiment with substances. The key is education. We need parents and kids to understand that fentanyl is not an experiment. Today, experimenting with fentanyl can and will kill them! Kids do not tell us everything! "While your at home ordering a pizza, you child is on Snapchat ordering drugs."

Scott Silverman, author of The Opioid Epidemic, joined me on the podcast to discuss the growing concerns of the fentanyl epidemic. Currently, 80% of illicit drugs coming into Arizona and California is laced with fentanyl. Scott and I open up about what families can do to make sure young people are aware of the dangers of fentanyl. Fentanyl has found its way into every street drug out there. The traffickers are doing everything they can to get it safely into the U.S. Currently, Social Media is the greatest tools used by traffickers to get fentanyl into the hands of our youth. Apps are used to identify, sell, deliver and promote deadly fentanyl. Traffickers spend time and money making sure they are branding fentanyl to target the youth. With so much attention being placed on the traffickers and slowing the flow of fentanyl into our country, when do we begin to focus on the mental health of our youth?

On this episode, I shared the microphone with Dani. Dani is in lifelong recovery with two years of sobriety under her belt. We had a wonderful conversation about change and finding who we are sober! The challenge to find ourselves is a process. Dani helps the listeners understand the process she went through to find her "I AM." Abuse, addiction and finding herself was all part of her process. The goal is to find who we are without the substance. Her first experience with trauma was at age 6 when her "abuser" water boarded her. The abuse continued and her escape became the use of substances. Please take a ride with Dani and I as we explore the difference between sobriety and recovery, who she was without alcohol and how to eliminate stinking thinking from your life.

On this episode of the Chase The Vase/Victory Recovery Podcast, I speak with Laura Palmer about the insanity of addiction. Laura was spending over $300.00 a day and consuming "10 perc 30's on a good day." Laura's addiction began to spin out of control and when she needed to cover a drug debt, Laura made the decision to steal money from a family member. The insanity of addiction supports our poor decision making! Laura was arrested and charged with theft. She was subsequently arrested and sentenced. After being released, she immediately used pills to control the pain of detox. Being sentenced did not scare her into stopping her drug usage. Laura's addiction was spinning out of control and the need to use pushed her into making poor decisions. Ultimately, her actions while under the influence led her to prison. Laura quickly realized that prison offered her a pivot point. "Being sent to prison long enough for my brain to heal was what I needed." While in Tent City, she worked with the MASH Unit which allowed her to work with the K-9 population. While in prison, Laura realized that she needed time for her brain to heal. After "About three months, I stopped craving the drugs and realized that I have a chance not to go deeper into this mess, but to fix it!" This is all she needed. Listen to the rest of the podcast to find out how Laura is living a life of recovery! Thanks for checking out the episode. Please share it, like it and leave a comment.

On this episode of the Chase The Vase podcast, I have the founder and creator of "Connection Is The Cure." September Frogley created the organization after her brother lost his battle with mental illness and addiction. It was September's hope that she could keep Robert's legacy alive by educating the public about these issues. September kicked started her organization in Idaho by holding her first event in the Ford Idaho Center. To a packed house, she shared her message of Hope and Connection. I was blessed to have an active roll in the concert and was floored by the movement. At the end of the concert, I asked September if we could do a recovery/mental health concert in Arizona. This is where we stand today. We are just days away from "A Night To Connect" being held right here in my hometown of Mesa AZ. This podcast will shine light on the individuals struggling with mental health and addiction. We invite you to attend and be a part of the movement.

"Why did you embark on the 75 hard when you look no different", or you know your going to fall right back into old behaviors," so why do it? These are rationalizations for other people. I need to remember that my journey, is not your journey. My effort is not your effort, and my success is not attached to your success! But we listen to what others bark at us. Many times in life, I have been fueled by the ignorance of other. Like the time I started the Keto diet. I was dropping pounds and looking good and an individual had the edacity to tell me I would fail over the holidays. If I had listened, I would have believed his weakness. Why do you do what you do and who has access to your effort and Why? Stop giving your power away. Take it back and own your shit!

I started the 75 hard and refused to go backwards. Creating the right mindset to accomplish all the tasks had to be set at day one. But, as you know, there are so many justifiable reasons to quit. Here are the three most repeated reasons people quit in recovery, in the weight loss journey, at church, school or any other valuable goal. 1. I don't have time. 2. I'm not motivated. 3. I don't know where to start. There are solutions to each of these justification. Make a plan and script it. Stick to the plan one day at a time until you master your mind! Thank you for Chasing The Vase and look forward to your comments and feedback to this podcast! Check out the #take10challenge for details on how to take 10!

There are so many reasons to "kinda" do sobriety, or "kinda" develop a relationship with a Higher Power or "kinda" wanna be thin. There is an absolute commitment and ownership the accompanies all decisions. Four questions were posed to us this week, and all four teetered on taking ownership. It is too easy to shift blame on another or take 75% of the responsibility. The four questions were: 1. "I want to occasionally drink!" Response, then you want to be occasionally sober! 2. "How honest do I need to be with an employer about my addiction?" Response, Honesty is a lost commodity today! 3. "I can't shake the shame, family keeps judging me for my past." When your ready to give it up, give it up! It's your to carry and yours to dump!" 4. "Do I really need a Higher Power?" Response, We tried all the "I Got This Crap." We can't do it alone! Please, jump on and listen to this episode and share it with those who seek real recovery. I promise, once ownership is taken, sobriety becomes obtainable.

PTS is a highly discussed topic amongst first responders. We carry external and internal wounds that never seem to heal. It is my hope that this episode will help anyone suffering with PTS understand that it is an anxiety disorder and not an incurable disease. There are four common symptoms that accompany PST. They are: 1. Re-Experiencing the event. 2. Avoidance: Avoiding the people, places or situations that remind us of the event. 3. Hyperarousal: Felling on edge on on Red all the time. 4. Negative thoughts and beliefs about yourself and others. We also discuss signs and symptoms that are directly associated with PTS. If you are a spouse, family member of friends to a first responder, this podcast is for you. It will help you understand emotions and feelings associated with PTS. I also discuss an amazing tool that can be used today to start the process of healing from this disorder. Let me know how it works for you by sending me an email to chasingthevase@gmail.com. #take10movement. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brock-m-bevell/support

Ashley "Smashley" Cummins. Ashley is a Police Officer of 12 years, DT Instructor, BJJ Brown Belt and a professional MMA fighter - ranked the #7 atom weight in the world. Her mantra is: "There is no second place in a fight for your life. Train accordingly." She believes there are no excuses. If you choose law enforcement as your profession then you don't have a right to be lazy with your training. Firearms training, detac/combatives training, fitness, etc. Your family loves you and needs you to make it home every shift and to always remember your why. We need to "train above the standards." Ashley is training first responders all over the world and you can learn more about her training at @jiujitsufive_o. For all of us, the goal is to stop being complacent and think the training you do is enough, it's not. Please, become more well rounded. Improve your training, defensive tactics training, medical, mental health/resiliency training and fitness. We all have a weakness, don't find out what is it when it counts the most! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brock-m-bevell/support

Many of us are absolutely overwhelmed, stressed, mentally and physically tired and in a hurry to be in a hurry. As I talked to my wife about the title of this podcast, she sang to me the Alabama song, "I'm in a hurry to get things done." While thinking about this episode, I realized that my "Hurry" is self-induced and I need to fix it. As I evaluated my life, I realized that I am working a full time job, setting up Victory Recovery Center, organizing, inviting, and advertising our upcoming concert, coaching CrossFit twice a week and completing "75 Hard." (Finished Day 54.) I immediately realized that it is too much! Because I love to be busy and I thrive in the chaos, pulling back and slowing down are going to be difficult. But, I realized for my insanity it needs to be done. So here are 4 suggestions that I want to offer you to work on the slow down! 1. Not everything you (we) do has a deadline. Find your balance. 2. Prioritize you to do's. 3. Set boundaries. (Say No!) 4. Make your purpose your work. Check out the podcast for specific details. I invite you to implement them in your life. I would love to hear your feedback and how you applied one or all of them this week. Like up and subscribe to the show. Let me know if you life the content and if it is helpful!

Time Under Tension is a philosophy often learned in the gym. (TUT) refers to the amount of time a muscle (your brain) is held under tension or duress. While it creates amazing results in the gym, TUT in recovery is not the best practice. The idea of recognizing unnecessary pressures in your life will help reduce relapse and unnecessary tension and stress. Too often, we create TUT without an escape! We lack the necessary tools in order to escape the "fall." If we are not careful, our daily patterns create the tension. I share three stories that describe how TUT can get out of control and begin to take on a life of it's own. I invite you to listen to the podcast and evaluate what areas in your life are creating unnecessary and harmful tension. Once identified, you must release it, let it go and get rid of it. Too often, our addictions take on a life of their own because we fail to stop like enough to become aware of the process. This is your invitation to slow down, evaluate and act!

I am thrilled to have Christian Artist Ben Fuller on the show. This episode was unique and we openly talked about the redeeming power of a loving Savior. Ben has been deeply affected by childhood trauma and addiction. His life became unmanageable and out of control. Due to generations of hurt in his family, Ben struggled with certain aspects of growing up and turned to cocaine and alcohol at a young age. In 2015, Ben got involved in a devastating drug-fueled relationship which led him to understand better, the other side of addiction. In addition, come 2017, he abruptly lost his best friend to a heroin overdose and his entire outlook on life shifted. Ben knew he needed a change and the change happened when a family friend invited him to church. As he walked the halls into the auditorium filled with 3,000 people, he knew one day he would sing "that kind of music" for the rest of his life. Falling face first into his new-found relationship with Jesus, he began writing with a burning desire to share what God did to turn his life around. Today, Ben lives completely sober, while sharing his story filled with hope, mercy and grace. By turning his testimony into songs, he has been rejuvenated with a new passion and mission; to share his story with the world and all who are ready to listen. Ben has excepted an invitation to come to Mesa Az on July 14th, 2022. We are excited to put on the invent in hopes we can connect with one another. That our hearts will begin to heal and find hope in the music and conversations.

Pornography is one click away, and is becoming ever more immersive and addicting. How is it changing people's behavior, relationships and desire? On this episode, I share the microphone with Bob Gardner. Bob and I break down and discuss ways to break the addiction cycle and ways to identify the addiction process. Many people we work with are told that they will struggle with their porn addiction for the rest of their life? The thought of repeating this viscous cycle makes them feel hopeless, stuck, and not worth even trying anymore? I pray that this episode provides home. If this podcast is helpful, then share it with your friends and families. The battle to overcome pornography is not impossible. Let's get started.

The parable of the talents was shared twice in the Bible. Why? Why would Jesus share it publicly then in private amongst His people? Have you ever thought if Jesus was giving out the talents, would you have received a talent, two talents or even three? When Jesus gave out talents, He gave them out on ability, He trusted the three men with his money. The question is often asked, "do you trust them, are they reliable? I believe this was a test, and a change to demonstrate skills and gifts. We are all given gifts and it is up to us to qualify them. My greatest gift ever given was fatherhood. To be entrusted with His children! At some point, I will have to answer to my King about my effort. On the flipside, I was given a gift of addiction. That may sound crazy but my battle with it and through it strengthened my talents. It was a specific gift given to me and He provided me the skills to overcome it! So what talents are you working with? Where are you implementing your skills? I would love to hear all about them and to be able to share on an upcoming episode.

The war on drugs has been waged, lost, waged and lost. Think about it this way, in 2018 there were 67,367 overdoses reported in the U.S In 2020, there were over 100,000 overdose deaths. We're not winning and no one is coming to save us. We all want to understand the root cause of addiction and most of us blame it on the substance. For those in active recovery, we understand that it is not the drug or the alcohol it is US. We come to the realization that it is all about our decisions, our environment and our behaviors. In order to find recovery, we must change our cage! Take some time to listen to the podcast and learn how the Vietnam War and Rat Park changed our view of addiction.

My next guest lost his daughter Alexandra to a fentanyl poisoning in 2019. Since that time, he has taken up the fight to keep others from becoming victims to this epidemic. Matt Capelouto has issued the warning that, "The spike in fentanyl-related deaths should be treated as a national security threat!" His daughter was attending Arizona State University and battling with the stressors of college life and being on her own for the first time. During Christmas break, Alexandra reached out to an individual on Snapchat while seeking relief for insomnia and depression and was dealt a counterfeit drug that was laced with fentanyl. Matt said, "I want it to be clear, my daughter didn't die from an overdose. She was poisoned." This entire situation was just a tragedy of epic proportions. The man who sold the counterfeit pill is currently standing trial in the Federal Court System for murder. So many lives destroyed by this one careless act. Matt is working to pass the Alexandra's Law, and advance legislation to help mimic the current DUI laws in California. A dealer would be hit with a warning following the first offense. If a subsequence offense occurred and a person died from the distribution of fentanyl, that subject would be subjected to murder charges.

Let me start off by saying I am thankful we have men like Jason A. Ramos. Jason is a Smokejumper and firefighter. What is a Smokejumper you ask? They are America's most select elite airborne firefighters tasked with putting out fires before they are out of control They are the first line of defense. These men are willing to risk their lives to battle these deadly infernos. The only caveat is they do not arrive to the scene in a bright red firetruck, they halo into the fire! Smokejumpers fight fires in the most remote and rugged terrain all over the U.S. I hope that this episode was able to describe a portion of bravery these men display on a daily basis. When Jason was told, he was too small and weak to become a Smokejumper, he did not buckle or walk away from his dream. Learn how to fought to become one of America's most elite! Jason is the author of "Smokejumper A Memoir By One Of America's Most Select Airborne Firefighters." He is an advocate the first responders and has been on the TedX stage sharing his experiences.

This podcast episode covers a very tender topic and I hope that I was able to express my viewpoint as a follower of Christ. Yesterday, I was called to do a wellfare check on a friend of mine who is actively struggling with alcohol. When I arrived, it was obvious that he was highly intoxicated and was in no position to carry on a conversation. As I got up to leave, he said, "Brock, how did you beat your addiction?" I realized that this was not the time or place to hold this conversation. I, like many of you listening have struggled with addiction and I remember being angry with God for not removing the addiction from me. For some reason, I was under the assumption, that my faithfulness had something to do with Him not wanting to save me. I have since learned, that it is only through Him that I can be saved, but I first had to put in the work! I pray you feel of the Light of Christ as you listen to this episode and are moved to share it with those who need this message. I challenge you to share this with one person who needs Christ today. This is an invitation to pursue Him! Make sure you check out the Take10Movement Facebook Page. Keep Chasing The Vase. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/brock-m-bevell/support

My next guest has been tagged as the Businessperson of the Year, The Master of Motivation, The Highest Rated Speaker of Our Convention and Mr. Motivation. David Essel is a Master Life Coach, motivated and grateful recovering addict. David talks about the difficulty of losing his father and the impact and legacy he left behind. David continues to want to make his father proud by continuing his legacy for life. His father taught him how to be resolute, to never quit and how to serve another. David spends his days in recovery by giving back to others and helping America Heal one person at a time. He believes the greatest superpower all of us possess is the ability to choose for ourselves. We discussed why we as a society are looking for "Easy Street." When success isn't immediately obtained, many buckle and shift focus. If immediate gratification doesn't arrive, most quit on their goals, dreams and sobriety too quickly. David's message to us is the same advise his father gave to him as a young man, "Never Give Up On Yourself," he never gave up on me!

So blessed to have Officer Autumn on the show to discuss resiliency amongst first responders. Autumn has found her niche working with female first responders who are seeking the path to finding their true self. We are not replicas and need to stand out and be who God created us to be. Be authentic, be real and be you is her message to those looking for inner peace. If you don't know who you are society will define you! We must be clear in who we are or others will tell you how to act. Note to self, never respond to a "hot tone" without your gun! It's a lot like going into war unarmed. Autumn shares ideas and tools that can be used on a daily basis that reduce stress and help with depression. Autumn speaks to all of us who are struggling to find ourselves. She uses humor and real life situations to empower those struggling with depression, stress and anxiety. You can find her on IG @officerautumn.

I feel privileged to share the microphone with Dr. Claudia C. Cotca. She is a 3-times graduate of University of Michigan, where she received a Bachelor of Science with Chemistry Degree and Cellular Molecular Biology, Master of Public Health in Toxicology, and Doctor of Dental Surgery. Dr. Cotca is an international lecturer and aesthetic restorative dentist. We sat down and discussed modern medicine in America and the fact that we use medicine to cover pain. Dr. Cotca has some amazing questions for the listeners and for those in control of the crisis. Opioids are prescribed for the purpose of blocking pain signals between the brain and the body. They are prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain. So if you break your leg in an accident, you will more likely than not be prescribed opioids for the pain. So why are opioids being prescribed months after the injury has healed? Are there any other options for pain? Is it ok to feel pain and how is it helpful? Don't miss this episode! With the opioid epidemic taking so many lives, education is the key component to safety. The more we learn about the issue, the better we can protect our tribe!
