“I want other people to know that, like, there's nothing wrong with you. If you have mental health issues, there's help for you and there's life on the other side." - Sims TillirsonThis is the second part of my conversation with Sims Tillirson, the first of which released this Tuesday. In this episode, we focused on Sims' openness about his mental health issues on LinkedIn, his struggle to get off of antidepressants, and destigmatizing conversations about mental health, especially among men. Sims also shared some tips for men who have friends struggling mentally, and how we can all do a better job supporting each other.This episode is pretty distinct from the first, and from most episodes of Self-Funded, but it was an important conversation to be had, and I hope you'll tune in.Chapters:00:00:00 Helping Each Other Through Mental Health Struggles | with Sims Tillirson00:00:32 Destigmatizing Mental Health00:03:15 How Do We Increase Access To Mental Healthcare?00:06:14 The Power of Genuine Listening00:09:54 Holistic Approach to Medication and Mental HealthcareKey Links for Social:@SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFundedListen/watch on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/Key Words: Mental Health Awareness, Mens Mental Health, Break The Stigma, Empathetic Listening, Antidepressants, Mindfulness, Depression, Supporting Others, Alternative Therapies, sims tillirson, spencer smith, podcast, healthcare, health insurance, self funded, self funding, self funded health insurance, self funded insurance#MentalHealthAwareness #MensMentalHealth #BreakTheStigma #EmpatheticListening #Antidepressants #Mindfulness #Depression #SupportingOthers #AlternativeTherapies #simstillirson #spencersmith #podcast #healthcare #healthinsurance #selffunded #selffunding #selffundedhealthinsurance #selffundedinsurance

About Me:Michael Molthan | M2 The RockI'm Michael Molthan, host of The M2 The Rock Show—one of the fastest-growing podcasts and shows on self-improvement, mental health, addiction recovery, and spiritual transformation.

Through raw and unfiltered discussions with experts, celebrities, thought leaders, and athletes, we uncover new perspectives on personal growth, recovery, and overcoming life's toughest challenges.My Story:What sets my journey apart is that there wasn't just one rock bottom—there were many. From being a successful luxury homebuilder to falling into addiction, homelessness, crime, and eventually 27 mugshots and prison, my life was in absolute chaos.Addiction was my temporary escape from childhood trauma, but it only led to destruction.It wasn't until I hit the lowest point imaginable that I finally found true freedom, redemption, and purpose. After an unexpected early release from prison in 2017, I walked 300 miles back to Dallas to turn myself in—only to be miraculously pardoned and told to “pay it forward.”And that's exactly what I've been doing ever since.My MissionI believe that rock bottom is not the end—it's a stepping stone to something greater.My goal is to redefine what "rock bottom" means by helping others rebuild their Spirit, Mind, and Body.On M2 The Rock, I speak openly about trauma, addiction, recovery, and the power of transformation. I don't shy away from topics like:✅ Trauma & Addiction – Understanding the root causes✅ Self-Sabotage & Mental Health – Breaking negative cycles✅ Codependency & Enabling – How relationships impact recovery✅ 12-Step Programs & Spiritual Healing – Finding true freedom✅ Religious Trauma & Personal Growth – Healing from past wounds"Everyone Is An Addict."Whether it's substances, work, validation, or negative thinking, we all have something we struggle with.But recovery is possible, and transformation is real.

Welcome to Hot Topics! Gabrielle Crichlow talks to guest Lisa Parnello about Dyslexia - what is it, how to recognize it, and what to do about it.In this episode, Gabrielle and Lisa discuss dyslexia and its impact on individuals. They highlight that dyslexia is a neurological difference that affects language processing, not a vision problem. People with dyslexia struggle with connecting sounds and letters, making reading and spelling challenging. Strategies such as phonics instruction and phonemic awareness can help individuals with dyslexia become successful readers.Dyslexia can be identified through signs like difficulty with rhyming, sequencing, and spelling. While there is no single assessment for dyslexia, educational therapy can help individuals become stronger readers and provide strategies and accommodations for their learning differences.The episode emphasizes that dyslexia is common, affecting one in five individuals, including celebrities like Richard Branson and Whoopi Goldberg. It also highlights the lack of awareness and training on dyslexia in education programs, calling for additional training for teachers to effectively support students with dyslexia.The conversation between Gabrielle and Lisa covers various challenges faced by individuals with dyslexia, including behavioral issues and struggles with math word problems. They emphasize the importance of self-advocacy and accommodations, debunking the misconception that individuals with dyslexia are less intelligent.The discussion raises awareness about the challenges faced by individuals with dyslexia and provides insights into strategies and support systems that can help them succeed academically and in life.Who is Lisa Parnello?Lisa Parnello is a dyslexia expert with over 15 years of experience including public school, and private schools, with a primary focus on students with learning differences such as dyslexia, and dysgraphia.

In this Healing 101 episode, I have the honor of speaking to Wendy Robinson, the Head of Services for Campaign Against Living Miserably (CALM). Wendy's extensive experience in the field of mental health and her role at CALM have equipped her with a deep understanding of the pressing issue of suicide prevention. CALM is dedicated to helping individuals who are in the darkest depths of despair, feeling that suicide is their only escape. Wendy delves into the critical issue of rising suicide rates, shedding light on the socio-economic groups that are disproportionately affected. She emphasizes the importance of destigmatizing the word "suicide," dispelling the myth that discussing it may plant the idea in someone's mind. Instead, open dialogue can be a lifeline for those in crisis. Wendy also highlights a crucial point: suicide doesn't always manifest in an obvious manner, underlining the need for vigilant awareness and support in our communities.This episode reminds us of the importance of reaching out and fostering a culture of empathy, understanding, and support for those in need.Find more information on CALM: https://www.thecalmzone.net/Follow Hurt to Healing on Instagram: @hurttohealingpod--A big thank you our wonderful charity partner Shout.

We couldn't imagine a better guest for Mental Health Awareness Month than Amy Keller Laird: Founder & CEO of Mental. We sat down with Amy to ask about her career journey from Editor in Chief of Women's Health Magazine to founder of the first digital mental health & lifestyle brand for women.As someone who had worked in the beauty and wellness space as Beauty Director of Allure, Amy had seen the world of mental health talked about, but not in the way she had personally experienced. Amy has lived with OCD, anxiety and postpartum depression and found that she wasn't seeing her lived experience being reflected. We really admire how Amy married her experience in magazines and her journey with mental health to create something truly authentic: “I wanted to say, "Where's the publication that would speak to me?”To hear more of Amy's career journey and her thoughts on how we can break the stigma of talking about mental health in the workplace, listen to this episode wherever you get your podcasts!

Kansas City is hosting a mental health conference open to the public focusing on education, innovations, recovery and more. Speakers from two sessions share how they're focusing on mental health in the region.

In this episode of the Women's Vibrancy Code, Maraya chats with Ashley Wynn-Grimes, BSN, RN, a registered nurse and healthcare leader, about how to break the stigma of cannabis in medicine and explores the endocannabinoid system. Ashley highlights the importance of considering cannabis as a treatment option based on a patient's medical history and symptoms. Ashley shares her journey in healthcare and addresses the stigma surrounding cannabis and nursing solutions. She discusses the common symptoms cannabis can help with, including pain, anxiety, sleep, and menstrual cramps, as well as seizures in children. Ashley stresses the importance of finding the right cannabis strain for a patient's specific symptoms and shares her passion project, a book called "Stigmatized". Also in this episode: Lean Six Sigma is a project management ideology used to increase efficiency in healthcare settings. The endocannabinoid system is the largest neuroreceptor system in the body, responsible for balance. Cannabis is a potential option for medical treatment, to be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Cannabis stigma exists and the media perpetuates false information. Educating those willing to listen can shift perspectives. Common conditions treated with cannabis include pain, sleep, anxiety, menstrual cramps, and seizures. Different strains of cannabis have varying effects, and it's important to be cautious with anxiety. Children benefit from cannabis use, particularly for seizures. A children's book promotes understanding and empathy. Her book "Stigmatized" aims to educate about cannabis in a simple and accessible way and is based on Ashley's personal journey and passion for alignment.   About Ashley Wynn-Grimes: Baltimore, Maryland native, black female entrepreneur, and a registered nurse for more than 12 years, Ashley Wynn-Grimes BSN, RN is the Founder of Cannabis Nursing Solutions, LLC, author of “Stigmatized”, and the children's book “Asa's Medicine”.

During her impressive career, Ashley has worked in various healthcare settings, including telemetry nursing, quality improvement, and professional development. She is responsible for trail-blazing non-traditional cannabis patient care programs in Maryland that offer standardized approaches to dispensing cannabis for nursing professionals and children in school settings. Ashley holds a Bachelor's of Science in Nursing and Master's Degree in Nurse Education from Towson University, and in 2021, she was chosen for Baltimore Business Journal Leaders in Health Care.

Pamela R. Browne is an experienced mental health professional with over 20 years of demonstrated success as an author, impact leader and strategist. She also is the mental health specialist on board my production team for the world premiere of my upcoming show "Diagnosed." My play “Diagnosed” addresses mental illness amongst women in the black community. The goal in writing the play "Diagnosed" is to bring awareness and hope to a taboo subject. Pamela R. Browne is an intricate part of creating an environment of self-space, breaking the stigma and promoting a women's wellness for the Diagnosed project. In this episode, we discuss why the mental health topic has been an unmentioned and uncomfortable subject in the black community for so long; how African American women are only half as likely to seek help compared to Caucasian counterparts, and much more. Pamela Browne is the author of “The Power Up Life Boss “You Got This” Journal for Intentional Living. She shares how her book is designed to transform negative thinking and increase or develop a positive mindset through self-expression and self-awareness.
