Podcasts about Breaking the Silence

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 깊은 믿음의 자리| The One with Mr. Mark Harris on Breaking the Silence on Prostate Cancer | Episode 32 (2025)In this episode, I sit down with Mr. Mark Harris, a men's health advocate whose story redefines what it means to face illness with faith, courage, and community.Recorded on Father's Day, this conversation goes beyond prostate cancer; it's about legacy, love, and learning to “do it afraid.” Mr. Harris opens up about his prostate cancer diagnosis, the heartbreaking loss of his son to a rare cancer, and how both experiences shaped his mission to help men speak up, get checked, and live fully.From the power of early detection to breaking the silence around men's health, Mr. Harris reminds us that strength and softness can coexist, and that sharing your story doesn't make you weak; it makes you a guide for others finding their strength.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we welcome Kath Essing, author of The Courage to Speak Your Truth. Kath shares her journey from silence to advocacy after surviving childhood sexual abuse. We discuss why reclaiming your voice is essential for healing, the complexities of sharing your story, and the critical gaps in current support systems and justice processes. Kath offers honest reflections on what helped her heal, the unexpected challenges she faced, and practical advice for both survivors and supporters. If you or someone you know is navigating the path from trauma to empowerment, this conversation is not to be missed. About Kath Essing:Kath Essing is a survivor, author, and advocate whose memoir The Courage to Speak Your Truth calls on women and allies to break free from the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse. Through her personal story and advocacy, Kath is working to reform outdated systems and empower others to reclaim their stories and their strength. Key Takeaways: The act of speaking out can be healing but also complex and risky without the right support. Supporters should focus on listening, believing, and holding space rather than offering quick solutions. Systemic changes are urgently needed in healthcare, education, and justice to better support survivors. Healing is a non-linear journey, often starting with private reflection before public advocacy. Writing can be a powerful first step toward processing trauma and reclaiming your voice.

In this powerful and deeply moving episode of the We Are Women Podcast, I speak with Sabrina Capper — a PR and Communications professional turned author and survivor whose story will both challenge and inspire you. After years of representing Fortune 500 companies and global leaders, Sabrina stepped away from the corporate world to pursue creative work in writing and art. But behind her polished career was a truth she had long kept hidden: the generational trauma, secrets, and abuse within her family. In her bestselling debut novel, Licking the Knife, Sabrina courageously shares her extraordinary story of survival. In 2024, she came face-to-face with her abuser — her own grandfather, a ritualistic serial killer and cult leader. As he drew his final breath, Sabrina reclaimed her power by declaring that the world would know the truth about what she endured. Today, she speaks openly about breaking cycles of silence, the language of trauma, and the resilience it takes to heal. Throughout our conversation, Sabrina sheds light on the struggles women face in being believed, the weight of carrying family secrets, and the importance of listening to and trusting your own story. We explore the process of raising children after surviving trauma, finding frameworks of support, and what accountability looks like in an age where testimony can be shared widely through social media. This episode is both a heart-wrenching and hopeful reminder that any trauma is too much, yet healing is possible. Sabrina's journey from silence to storytelling offers a beacon of courage for women everywhere who have experienced pain, felt dismissed, or struggled to find their voice. Tune in to hear how Sabrina transformed trauma into truth, and how her message of resilience can inspire you to believe in your own story and break through the silence.

Helping others can be a form of healing for oneself. Stigma surrounding mental illness needs to be addressed through open conversations. Education about mental health should be integrated into school curriculums. Companionship with others who understand mental illness is crucial for support.

Episode 233 of The Unique CPA centers on Dr. Kristy Short's raw account of living with anxiety, depression, and burnout throughout her 25-year accounting career. Kristy tells Randy about the origins of her struggles, from her first “spiral” in her 20s—marked by relentless work, academic pressure, and suicidal ideation—to her more recent breakdown in her 50s, which ultimately led to her writing her memoir and “self help-ish” book, Civil Warrior. Kristy recounts a particular turning point, signing a suicide contract with her therapist and the dream that inspired her to write her book. Key to her success was personalizing a program for her own mental health, which she encourages anyone struggling to do for themselves as well. Kristy, like Randy, doesn't shy away from the stigma and isolation professionals face, and she offers a candid, hopeful look at building resilience and community in accounting.

Substance use disorder is one of the most pressing health challenges in rural America. According to the Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), nearly 65% of all federally designated primary care shortage areas are in rural communities, and more than 60% of mental health professional shortage areas are rural as well (HRSA, March 31, 2025). These provider shortages are persistent and growing, leaving millions of Americans without timely or reliable access to behavioral health services—even as rural communities continue to experience high rates of substance use and related harms.In this episode of Mental Health Trailblazers: Psychiatric Nurses Speak Up!, Dr. Serge Wandji, MFP at the American Nurses Association alumnus and nurse scientist, shares with host Indrias Kassaye how his early research uncovered the struggles of rural Black men living with addiction. Today, his work expands to underserved communities across the rural South, showing how untreated substance use destabilizes families, harms children, and weakens entire communities.Dr. Wandji discusses why behavioral health must be integrated into primary care, how nurses and behavioral health specialists can apply research to real-world rural settings, and the importance of community-driven, culturally grounded approaches to recovery. According to Dr. Wandji, breaking the silence around substance use in rural America is the first step toward building healthier, more resilient communities.Learn more about Dr. Serge Wandji at https://emfp.org/mfp-fellows/serge-wandjiFor more information on access to care and mental health professional shortages, visit:https://bhw.hrsa.gov/sites/default/files/bureau-health-workforce/state-of-the-primary-care-workforce-report-2024.pdfhttps://data.hrsa.gov/Default/GenerateHPSAQuarterlyReporthttps://data.hrsa.gov/topics/health-workforce/nchwa/ahrfNurses can earn free Continuing Nursing Education (CNE) credits for listening to this episode.

In this episode, Lucy McCann is joined by Zelda Perkins, CEO of Can't Buy My Silence UK and former PA to Harvey Weinstein, who broke her NDA and has since campaigned against the use of NDAs to silence workers speaking out against abuse, and Emma Darlow Stearn, a barrister practising from Cloisters Chambers, who specialises in employment and discrimination law and, in her previous role as Senior Legal Adviser for whistleblowing charity Protect, collaborated with Zelda to make the law on NDAs more accessible. Zelda shares her personal story about the signing and breaking of her NDA, which had prevented her speaking up about Harvey Weinstein's behaviour, and about her campaign Can't Buy My Silence UK which has in large part led to amendments to the Employment Rights Bill (under Clause 22A) that will ban employers from using NDAs in cases of harassment and discrimination. Zelda and Emma discuss the nature and possible impact of those amendments which, since the time of recording, have been approved by the House of Commons and are due to become law in Autumn 2025 as s.202A Employment Rights Act 1996.

Whether you're a man navigating pressure or someone supporting a man you love, this conversation will shift how you see strength, vulnerability, and true wellness. About the Guest   Dr. Whitney Wright is a practising orthodontist, entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and the bestselling author of Men Under Pressure. Drawing from his lived experience with anxiety, depression, and PTSD, he now speaks and writes about redefining strength, breaking stigma, and guiding men toward healthier lives. Learn more at menunderpressure.com. Key Takeaways   Silence around men's mental health is dangerous—unspoken pressure often leads to destructive coping mechanisms like addiction. Panic attacks forced Dr. Wright to face his limits, showing that ignoring mental health red flags has severe consequences. Healing begins with simple, non-negotiable steps: movement, self-care, and making time for wellness. Sharing openly with family, partners, and peers helps reduce shame and builds crucial support systems. Social media culture glamorizes wealth, power, and performance while hiding pain—real strength comes from honesty and balance. Wellness isn't about extremes like biohacking; it's about consistent care and showing yourself you matter. Healing has a ripple effect—when men care for their mental health, families regain connection, joy, and laughter. True masculinity includes vulnerability, compassion, and the courage to seek help.   Connect with the Guest   Website: menunderpressure.com Book: Men Under Pressure (available on Amazon – ebook, paperback, audiobook) Connect with him on socials available on his website Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In Episode 142 of Diary of a Kidney Warrior Podcast, host Dee Moore sits down with Dr. Vikram Talaulikar—menopause specialist and Associate Professor in Women's Health—to demystify menopause for people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD).   If you've ever wondered whether changing periods, brain fog, poor sleep, hot flushes, joint aches or low mood are “just stress,” menopause, or CKD—this conversation is for you. We explore the menopause transition (perimenopause → menopause → postmenopause), how symptoms can overlap with CKD, and what practical steps you can take right now.   You'll hear about: •Perimenopause vs. menopause—what's normal, what to track, and why one blood test often doesn't tell the full story. •Lifestyle strategies that genuinely help (sleep hygiene, movement, nutrition, supplements to discuss with your team). •Non-hormonal options (including CBT and certain medications) and when they may be considered. •HRT in CKD—safer formulations, delivery routes, and the “lowest effective dose” principle to discuss with your clinicians. •Bone and heart health during and after the transition—and what to raise at your next appointment. •Why timely support matters and how to build a joined-up plan with your GP, kidney team, or menopause specialist.   This episode is compassionate, practical, and designed to help you advocate for yourself. We're also preparing a listener-led Q&A with Dr. Talaulikar—send us your questions! Submission details are in the show notes.   Perfect for: Women with CKD (or their supporters) navigating menopause, perimenopause, postmenopause; anyone curious about evidence-based options—including HRT—in the context of kidney health.     Follow & Subscribe: If this helped you, follow the show, leave a review, and share with a fellow Kidney Warrior.
