We don't know what we don't know.  Today we are talking with Rachel Bernstein about cults and stories of healing. It's a dark world that most know little about, and most won't until it hits home. But, as we discuss today, research into the topic is just getting started on the physiology of influence and manipulation.  With every episode, perspective is a powerful tool to influence how you see and interact with the world, even when stories are hard to hear or imagine. Those stories will shape and leave you with a lasting feeling and empathy towards others.

Welcome to Season 2 - The refrigerator and I, how my podcast was born. I thought I would start with one of my guest interviews. I had the honor of sharing my experience on the following podcasts: Law Enforcement Today podcast, What Was That Like podcast, Kill and Tell podcast and Causepods. In this episode, you will hear my half hour episode on Causepods. "CausePods" is a podcast created to raise awareness for the people who use Podcasts to better their community, society, and the world. The host of "CausePods", Mathew Passy, interviewed me in October.  In the episode I share a quick version of my story followed by a Q& A.Did I ever see the other survivors again?  Was the robber caught?  How did I deal with knowing the robber had my cell phone, wallet, and ID with my current address? I lived alone, in what ways did this change my behaviors?  What is it like sitting in front of a jury? How did I learn how to podcast?  Don't be afraid of the process, believe in yourself!Local networking, business cards, contents, apps. What app blocked me and my messaging? "Law enforcement" shouldn't be politicized. Policing shouldn't be political. I support any organization which helps survivors of trauma. I specifically support Police Blue Nation.

Have you struggled to pay yourself a salary as a non-profit? As a non-profit, you get so focused on helping the cause you are concentrated on that your needs become the least of your problems. Add on top of that any guilt you might feel paying yourself through the organization. Our guest today, John Stange, was in a similar boat with the church and was close to having to close up his church. Until he found a path in podcasting that helped him generate revenue and remove the pressure of having a salary come from the church, it let the church focus on immediate payables and get through any hard times it was going through.  The story today will inspire, make you think differently, and open up some news doors you might not have considered.  https://www.platformlaunchers.com/ (Platform Launchers) Key Topics: ·     How does a Paster find himself having a podcast (1:18) ·     What made the medium of podcasting the right fit for you (4:40) ·     What early lessons did you take away from getting started (6:06)) ·     How did you decide to pivot podcasts (7:03) ·     How do you target local and national audiences (8:20) ·     The significant change in year three and made the podcast take-off (10:07) ·     How the podcast took the pressure off the non-profit to pay him a salary (10:41) ·     What advice would you share with folks just getting started (13:21) Website link: https://desirejesus.com/ (https://desirejesus.com/) Podcast Links: ·     https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/dwell-on-these-things/id1180352948 (Apple) ·     https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbmZvcm1hbGJpYmxlc3R1ZHkucG9kYmVhbi5jb20vZmVlZC8?sa=X&ved=0CAMQ4aUDahcKEwiY6qjF0u70AhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQEw (Google) ·     https://open.spotify.com/show/1RxufTkYJyI6qn8e2n0qes?si=d118d027ff044b43 (Spotify) Charity: https://corecreek.com/ (Core Creek Community Church) Donation: https://corecreek.com/give (Link) Social Links ·     https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnstange/ (LinkedIn) ·     https://twitter.com/pastorstange (Twitter) ·     https://www.facebook.com/author.john.stange (Facebook) ·     https://www.instagram.com/pastorjohnstange/ (Instagram) Thanks for Listening!

It's the most wonderful time of the year to donate to charities, and if you do so early on Tuesday, November 30, 2021, your funds could be 100% matched by Meta (Facebook). Listen for details! The charity we chose to focus on for our fundraising efforts: The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation. Link to Fundraisers: https://www.facebook.com/CornealDystrophy/fundraisers When to Give: 8am Eastern, 5am Pacific on Tuesday 11/30/2021 Why? Because Facebook (Meta) is matching up to $8 million to charity fundraisers on their site on Giving Tuesday. The first $2 million donated 100%, and for the next $6 million raised -- the matching drops to 10%. So donate early and $10 could = a $20 donation to your favorite charity. Donate a bit later, and that $10 becomes only $11. Wait to long, and it's just $10. Remember, Facebook covers the 3% credit card fees too -- so 100% of your money goes to the charity, plus a big bump from Meta / Facebook!

Purpose can come from anywhere. We often think of purpose as something that comes from something you love, but more often than not, purpose comes from the hard things in life. For example, today we are talking with Mike Graglia, who found a purpose through the struggle of being a child's parent with SYNGAP1. A rare disease where a specific protein is not created that is essential for nerve growth. It is so rare that it wasn't recognized in humans until 2009.  Mike knew that information would be the key to advancing his and the medical community's understanding of this disease. So he started the non-profit SynGAP Research Fund to advance the research and treatments available for people with SynGAP1. His podcast, the SYNGAP10, is that purpose coming to life in a big way by providing listeners with the latest news each week in the community.  Key Topics: ·     How did SYNGAP1 become a part of your life (1:06) ·     What are some issues with diagnosing the disease (2:42) ·     What challenges did Mike have starting a non-profit (4:20) ·     What has been some of the early impacts that foundation as had (6:33) ·     How did adding a podcast become the right next step for the foundation (8:54) ·     In what ways do you see the current structure of the podcast evolving (14:57) ·     Deciding if a daily briefing podcast is a right fit for your cause (16:06) Website: https://www.syngapresearchfund.org/syngap10-podcast (Link) Podcast Links: ·     https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/syngap10-weekly-10-minute-updates-on-syngap1-video/id1560389818 (Apple) ·     https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy81NDhhMTUwYy9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw (Google) ·     https://open.spotify.com/show/2qhQwMqDjflUAboaLoXjpi?si=e5a47796d4b942d5 (Spotify) Charity: SynGAP Research Fund (https://www.syngapresearchfund.org/ (website)) Donation: https://www.syngapresearchfund.org/donate/donate (link) Social Links ·     https://www.linkedin.com/company/curesyngap1/ (LinkedIn) ·     https://twitter.com/cureSYNGAP1 (Twitter) ·     https://www.facebook.com/cureSYNGAP1 (Facebook) ·     https://www.instagram.com/curesyngap1/ (Instagram) ·     https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtnPWPpqouMA_1UGOyu4W6A?sub_confirmation=1 (YouTube)  Thanks for Listening!

What is hard to get back once it's lost? Today's guest, Jennifer Lee, shares how she had the feeling of safety chattered in a robbery. It was a long journey of almost two years before she could begin the process of rebuilding it. We often take that feeling for granted, whether it be in our home or out in public; as she says, it's hard to explain what it feels like. But that is what her stories all have in common. They all know that feeling and can relate, knowing they are not alone.   Jennifer's podcast, I Need Blue, shares stories from robbery to domestic violence to understanding self-defense. She explores any topic which causes fear and share resources to overcome the trauma. These stories are also coupled with a supportive law enforcement format. Key Topics: Finding a deeper purpose in her story (1:21) Healing through trauma on the other side (10:45) Having your sense of safety chattered (14:43) You don't need to be a fan of listening to podcasts to start (16:30) Starting with nothing and getting to launch (18:10) Using non-traditional routes to find stories (21:47)  What does Police Blue Nation do as a non-profit (25:30) Advice for anyone looking to start a podcast (27:12) Website link: (https://ineedblue.net/) Podcast Links: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i-need-blue/id1567450935 (Apple) Google https://open.spotify.com/show/62R7ZEcZIp4gqtCVxgqRsv?si=eSY0phRUQN-bOlXrKPNUfg (Spotify) Charity: Police Blue Nation (http://policebluenation.org/) Donation: http://policebluenation.org/index.php/donate.html (Link) Social Links https://www.facebook.com/110173334559864 (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/ineedbluepodcast/ (Instagram) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCp1q8SfA_hEXRJ4EaizlW8Q (YouTube) Thanks for Listening!

Have you ever heard a story and said that couldn't happen to me? As a culture, we love shows like Law and Order, Criminal Minds, NCIS, but we typically live our lives every day that can't happen in real life. Today's guest Bill Mitchel shares his story about the murder of his daughter following her graduation from college. He has taken this tragedy and made it his message to help give others the tools, resources, and support to be aware of before it happens.   He never expected his family to change in such a drastic way that would redefine it forever. You don't ever fully move past the loss of a child, let alone when they are murdered.   Book - https://www.amazon.com/dp/1734253703/ref=nav_timeline_asin?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 (When Dating Hurts by Bill Mitchell) Key Topics: ïHow losing his daughter changed everything (1:11) ïDating Violence and how common is it (4:49) ïHow do you compelling someone to listen before it happens (7:54) ïWhat made podcasting the right next step (9:44) ïWhat problems did you have to get a podcast started (11:36) ïWhat goal did you think podcasting could do that a book can't (14:40) ïHow do you protect someone's story that might not be ready to be named (16:29) ïWhat advice do you have for parents before tragedy might strike (18:00) Website https://www.whendatinghurts.com/ (link) Podcast Links: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/when-dating-hurts/id1542478530?i=1000500624884 (Apple) https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy80MTdhNGExOC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw (Google) Spotify Charity: When Dating Hurts  Donation: https://www.patreon.com/WhenDatingHurts?fan_landing=true (link) Social Links http://www.linkedin.com/in/billmitchellcd?_mSplash=1 (LinkedIn) https://twitter.com/Bill_Mitchell (Twitter) https://www.facebook.com/bill.mitchell.79230 (Facebook) Thanks for Listening!

"CausePods" is a podcast created to raise awareness for the people who use Podcasts to better their community, society, and the world. The host of "CausePods", Mathew Passy, interviewed me (Bill Mitchell) a few weeks ago. I appreciated this interview so much, I asked if I could include it on the WHEN DATING HURTS series. Here it is.

How many children scream for help but have no one to help? It is easy to go about our daily lives and isolate ourselves from the evil in our world, but that doesn't mean it isn't present. Today, Asia Raine talks about how her podcast Letters to the People are these complex stories of trauma from dark places where children's cries go unheard.  Sharing these episodes and stories is one of the reasons Causepods was founded because, like a TED talk where we share ideas, it is just as important to hear all the stories.   A lesson we can all take away from this episode is the power of one person seeing, hearing, and understanding someone. It is often the permission to let go of what was and fully embrace the life that could be.   Key Topics: What is the genesis moment for sharing stories around trauma (1:37) How to know if a story is made up (7:11) How did you overcome the idea of your story becoming visible in the community (14:14) What has been the impact from listeners (20:23) What makes SCSA the charity of focus for today's episode (25:40)  Website link: https://letterstothepeople.com/ Podcast Links: https://open.spotify.com/show/2kZwLzYhMwqryUxkUSdCxf?si=cveH7fsRQBaCPAw4x9znIw&dl_branch=1 (Spotify) Charity: https://www.scsaorg.org/ (Survivors of Childhood Sex Abuse (SCSA)) Donation: https://www.scsaorg.org/donate (Link) Social Links https://www.facebook.com/voice.for.transformation/ (Facebook) https://www.instagram.com/letters.to.the.people.podcast/ (Instagram) Thanks for Listening!

How connected locally are you? We often hear of a podcast with a National or International focus, but today's guest Ryan Sullivan shares with us how he focused on local and how telling the stories of local artists has been a unique project for him. As a podcast, we record audio, share it, and move on typically. Still, one special episode he recorded became a living legacy of the personality of a guest who passed away after being on the podcast.   It's not just about the audio; it's about legacy, and this will be a story you won't want to miss.

Today's guest, Dr. Nii Darko, explains how he chose a different path after medical school and became a freelance surgeon. Hear why that made sense and even how he and his wife have built their family around this idea.  We can often get stuck in thinking life only has one-lane roads, but if we slow down and look for those hidden turns, we can find a life built from the ground up unique to us and designed and wired for success. Seeing these turns isn't easy, but as our guest shares today, it can be as easy as listening to a podcast about people thinking outside the box. It is a big reason this podcast, Causepods, exists to share ideas and solutions that allow people doing good to make a more profound impact.  Key Topics: ·     What is your background in medicine (1:12) ·     How did the COVID-19 pandemic affect you overall (2:22) ·     How does someone decide to be a freelance surgeon (4:04) ·     What was the genesis moment for becoming a podcaster (9:50) ·     What things did you have to learn to become a podcaster (12:12) ·     Separating the pressure of being a surgeon and being a podcaster (14:06) ·     What are the positive impacts that have come out of the podcast (16:12) ·     What are the biggest takeaways from running the podcast (18:08) ·     What makes Student National Medical Association the charity of choice (19:28) Website: https://www.drniidarko.com/ (Link) Podcast Links: ·     https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/docs-outside-box-ordinary-doctors-doing-extraordinary/id1108749751 (Apple) ·     https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cDovL2RvY3NvdGIubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M (Google) ·     https://open.spotify.com/show/7lPD2QGH6cG8Z8uJQwP4n7 (Spotify) Charity: https://snma.org/ (Student National Medical Association ) Donation: https://snma.org/donations/ (Link) Social Links ·     https://www.linkedin.com/in/drniidarko/ (LinkedIn) ·     https://twitter.com/drniidarko?lang=en (Twitter) ·     https://www.facebook.com/DrNiiDarko1/ (Facebook) ·     https://www.instagram.com/drniidarko/?hl=en (Instagram) ·     https://www.youtube.com/c/DrNiiDarko (YouTube)  Thanks for Listening!

Did you fit in when growing up?

Will you take me home? These are the words that a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) hears when working with children in the foster system. A CASA is assigned to a child to represent the voice and advocate what is best for the child. It is a volunteer position, and with over 650,00 kids in the foster system, it is a position that is growing in demand every year.  As you will hear in the episode, a CASA is a special kind of person with an open heart and an open mind. Jayne has created this podcast to help share the stories of kids who have been through the system.  Jayne is doing great work in this space, illuminating stories that otherwise stayed untold. This episode will open the window into a world that very few of us see or understand.

Do you have a problem? Anyone that has walked the road with an addiction knows that those first few words can be the most challenging words spoken. But as they highlight on the Knockin' Doorz Down Podcast, there is hope to share the stories of others who have been where you are.  It's been said that one person's story is another person's door, and in this episode, we talk a lot about how a group of people with a focused mission and an open heart can make an impact and help others say those four words "I have a problem."

How do you know when something is wrong? This can be a tricky question to answer and even more problematic when the wounds may be invisible. Our guest today, Bella Paige, shares her story of having concussions throughout her life, how that affected her, and how did it leave her feelings.  Through the time we have been doing CausePods, a common theme of “I just felt like the only one” has been the genesis for creating a podcast to fight that thought and remove the stigma related to a topic.  The feeling of community around a niche group of people can be powerful, and the Post Concussion Podcast is no exception. Key Topics: Experiencing concussions in life from an early age (1:15) What helped Bella learn that concussions were playing a significant role in her life (02:00) What was the healing experience like, and what does life look like today (2:45) Dealing the wounds be invisible to people who meet you (3:51) How has adventure continued to play a role in Bella’s life (5:33) Where did the idea for a podcast come from (7:00) Deciding on the proper format for the podcast (8:49) The challenges faced starting a podcast (12:26) What is the story behind the charity The Concussion Legacy Foundation (13:03) Advice to someone who is looking to start a cause pod (14:24) Website link: https://www.postconcussioninc.com/podcast Podcast Links: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-post-concussion-podcast-life-after-a-brain-injury/id1548750632 (Apple) https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5idXp6c3Byb3V0LmNvbS8xNTg5NjYyLnJzcw (Google) https://open.spotify.com/show/4CI1YYPztMpB8Jz8TKFCY7?si=-7wKm-ZfS2i8VTr1FOkXYw (Spotify) Charity: https://concussionfoundation.org/ (Concussion Legacy Foundation ) Donation: https://www.classy.org/give/312896/#!/donation/checkout?

When do you have a problem with Alcohol? Alcohol is one of those topics that most people just assume you drink, as Becca says.

Ever felt lonely? Why is it that people get lonely? Why do we not have a word for the opposite of loneliness? Can we become un-lonely? These questions and more were the questions that sparked a documentary-style podcast series about loneliness. As a society, we often don't talk about loneliness, but we almost all can find a time in our lives where we felt it but did have the courage to say it. When the world has never been more connected digitally, we are also at a crossroads where we also have never felt more disconnected. Key Topics: How a couple of transplanted Brits living in NYC thought of the idea (1:26) Where does loneliness hit us the hardest (5:22) How does loneliness fit into the remote work culture we are in now (8:21) Can you be surrounded by people and still feel lonely (10:59) How did the project find a medium within podcasting (12:46) What challenges were there launching a podcast mini-series (14:58) If you started over, what would you do differently (18:12) What makes Art and Healing the charity of choices for this episode (20:47) What advice would you give to someone just getting started (22:58) Website link: www.theconnectery.com Podcast Links: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1549971538 (Apple): https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5jYXB0aXZhdGUuZm0vaXMtYW55Ym9keS1vdXQtdGhlcmUv?sa=X&ved=0CBUQ27cFahcKEwjwtaTWkpjvAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAQ (Google) https://open.spotify.com/show/4hHXAAXITeWn1XkeBsrJ9S?

In this episode, since most podcasts “podfade” by episode 7 (and since this is #7 if you count our trailer episode) we honor the podcasts that helped us get started, from the friendly podcasters who offered advice to those who offered air time. A big shout out is due to Carolyn Kiel of Beyond 6 Seconds, Anne Marie Cannon of Armchair Historians and Mathew Passy of Causepods (links to each show are below this intro). This episode is special in another way. I explore the difficulties experienced by those diagnosed with rare diseases as I interview my father-in-law, Robert Bellizzi. Bob is the Executive Director and Founder of The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation. He started this not-for-profit organization back in 1998 as a grass-roots patient to patient online support group called Fuchs' Friends. This platform provides resources that did not exist, trailblazing a platform that enabled patients to support one another. Fuchs' Friends and The Corneal Dystrophy Foundation now serves patients in over 150 countries and has a current membership of approximately 3000.

They find a way despite the challenges they are faced.  Scott from the Living Adaptive podcast shares stories of perseverance and how people find a way. His guests learned to ask questions like, what does this make possible in my life, what can I learn from this, is their a silver lining.  Hope is a powerful tool in life, and the Living Adaptive podcast does some fantastic work inspiring a better way through life.

Do you consider yourself as having a disability? This episode of Causepods highlights a unique perspective, one where we take a look at the question "do you have a disability?" Kurt presents a view that, typically, most people will not identify as someone who has a disability unless you receive a rating from the government.  To identify as someone with a disability means you have less abilities than others. Kurt's podcast takes that idea of less, flips it on its head, and says; let's not focus on what you don't have, but let's focus on what we do have.  We all have abilities, and we all have disabilities that are less great than others. Not everyone has the ability to make a slam dunk in basketball, but we don't choose to label ourselves as disabled. We just simply say we are not at good.  An episode rich in perspective, insights, hope for a better way of thinking on a globally important topic.  Key Topics: What is the back story in starting a podcast on the issue of disability (1:14) How to reframe the question, "do you have a disability?" (3:42) Being the voice for a cause that you don't identify as (5:45 ) How did a 15-year journey lead up to starting this podcast (7:27) Why is empathy towards each other so hard as a society (10:08) Where does someone begin to create change on such a challenging issue to move the needle (13:21) When it came to podcasting, what compelled Kurt to get the message out (15:56) What struggles did Kurt have to overcome to get his podcast launched (18:00) Looking back, what are the memorable moments of leading this cause (21:35) What made The Onward and Upward Foundation the charity of choice for this episode (23:43) For others looking to start a cause-focused podcast, what is Kurt's advice to them (27:40) Website link: https://www.transformupodcasts.com/show/the-world-of-ability-podcast-show/ (https://www.transformupodcasts.com/show/the-world-of-ability-podcast-show/) Podcast Links: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1533833388 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/id1533833388) Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNDUyMDYwMy9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVk (https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc3ByZWFrZXIuY29tL3Nob3cvNDUyMDYwMy9lcGlzb2Rlcy9mZWVk) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4kqzSFmuGrvhc4CGwftgFt (https://open.spotify.com/show/4kqzSFmuGrvhc4CGwftgFt) Charity: The Onward and Upward Foundation (https://onwardandupwardfoundation.org/ (https://onwardandupwardfoundation.org/)) Donation: https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=dkfnB58kqy1fKE7qBIhGvNzk5sBArSgeRYvcWlZsrOczyvCmr_8KId7hdfTOkH6-5ditIcZUtlCuOXbc (https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=dkfnB58kqy1fKE7qBIhGvNzk5sBArSgeRYvcWlZsrOczyvCmr_8KId7hdfTOkH6-5ditIcZUtlCuOXbc) Social Links LinkedIn Company: https://www.linkedin.com/company/transform-u-media-broadcast-network/ (https://www.linkedin.com/company/transform-u-media-broadcast-network/) Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/heykurt/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/abilitynow (https://www.facebook.com/abilitynow) | https://www.facebook.com/roskopfs (https://www.facebook.com/roskopfs) Thanks for Listening!

Do you know someone touched by Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder? We have learned over the years here at CausePods that so many causes exist under the fabric of society without ever seeing mainstream attention.  This is the case with our interview with Natalie Vecchione from the FASD Hope podcast, where she highlights stories of hope for parents who may just be beginning to face this diagnosis or maybe have worked through it alone for years.  Natalie teaches us to use our stories and help share others' stories to help build bonds of connection, so that cause advocates know they are not alone.  Key Topics: What is FASD, and what makes this cause important (1:14) What are some of the subtle symptoms of FASD (4:43) How much of FASD happens to regular people who just make a mistake (7:54) How did you get started making this your cause of choice to support (12:40) Where did Natalie learn her way around podcasting that helped her launch FASD Hope (16:19) What were some of the biggest lessons learned that helped make FASD Hope easier to launch (17:55) What made Proof Alliance her charity of choice to support with this episode (21:00) For anyone launching a cause-based podcast, what is your advice to them (23:29) Resources: https://ncfasdinformed.org/ (https://ncfasdinformed.org/) https://fascets.org/ (https://fascets.org/) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0972953205/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=fasdhope-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=0972953205&linkId=86ded301f82666cf202c8ba6b874591a (Book) – Trying Differently Rather Than Harder by Diane Malbin Website link: http://www.fasdhope.com/ Podcast Links: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fasd-hope/ (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fasd-hope/) Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2Zhc2Rob3BlL2ZlZWQueG1s (https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2Zhc2Rob3BlL2ZlZWQueG1s) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4E0022tclozCpY1gOtpXAG?si=7WcY7NwzQ0q2KFDRjown6g Charity: Pr%F Alliance (https://www.proofalliance.org/ (https://www.proofalliance.org/)) Donation: https://www.proofalliance.org/donate/ Social Links Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/fasdhope1/ (https://www.pinterest.com/fasdhope1/) Facebook: https://m.facebook.com/fasdhope1/ (https://m.facebook.com/fasdhope1/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fasdhope/ (https://www.instagram.com/fasdhope/) Thanks for Listening!

Do you live in paradise? What about feeling like you have made it? But what about feeling overwhelmed, sad, or depressed? These are the questions that Nancy Diaz set out to answer and provide resources for a group of people who seem to have it all.  Behind the Instagram perfect life, they can have the same mental health problems as everyone else. A stigma we often apply to others is seeing what we want to see and assume the grass is greener on the other side.  It couldn't be further from the truth, and while Nancy is just getting started, here at CausePods, we are excited to see what new conversations emerge in this space.  Key Topics: What initially led to the interest of psychotherapy and the digital nomad entrepreneur (1:00) What are some of the mental health struggles a digital nomad faces vs. the average entrepreneur (4:58) What have been some of the biggest challenges of launching a podcast (11:36) What has Nancy most scared about doing a podcast and excited (13:21) What made the Malaria foundation a particular cause to support today (15:08) Website link: http://www.globalcitizentherapy.com/ (http://www.globalcitizentherapy.com/) Podcast Links: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-global-citizen-therapy-podcast/id1533563569?at=11lo6V&ct=podnews_podcast (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-global-citizen-therapy-podcast/id1533563569?at=11lo6V&ct=podnews_podcast) Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9nbG9iYWxjaXRpemVudGhlcmFweXBvZGNhc3QubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M= (https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9nbG9iYWxjaXRpemVudGhlcmFweXBvZGNhc3QubGlic3luLmNvbS9yc3M=) Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3XIG1kMlzDop5llC1IlmwM (https://open.spotify.com/show/3XIG1kMlzDop5llC1IlmwM) Charity: Against Malaria Foundation Website: https://www.againstmalaria.com/ (https://www.againstmalaria.com/) Donation: https://www.againstmalaria.com/Donation.aspx (https://www.againstmalaria.com/Donation.aspx) Social Links Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/globalcitizentherapy/ (https://www.facebook.com/globalcitizentherapy/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/globalcitizentherapy/ (https://www.instagram.com/globalcitizentherapy/) Thanks for Listening!

Are you a right-brain or left-brain kind of person? This isn't a question many people pause to think about daily, but as today's guest points out, it is a big question when working with Veterans and how they are trained to think to survive while serving.  Art has become a great tool that has allowed Veterans to tap into their right brain and establish new thinking patterns and relaxing methods.  Tim Brien is an Army Veteran with a background in art, and he found his story, combined with his love of art, was the perfect marriage to create the Create Art Podcast. It was the ideal medium to provide a safe place for people to heal without saying out loud they are hurting.  Key Topics: Why was the Create Art Podcast started (1:11) What is it about art that helps Veterans specifically (4:49) How did Tim go from Theather and Art to starting a podcast (9:34) Is a Podcast a form of art (13:10) Starting a podcast focused on helping a cause (14:29) What makes Wounded Warrior Project the charity he chooses (18:39) What is the best advice for someone looking to start a podcast (21:51) Website link: https://createartpodcast.com/ Podcast Links: Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/create-art-podcast/id1491528915 Google: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkLnBvZGJlYW4uY29tL2NyZWF0ZWFydHBvZGNhc3QvZmVlZC54bWw= Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3QiWzWA7V2PaYGMvaiQf1E Social Links LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/timothy-brien/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/createartpod Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/934536143655366/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/createartpodcast Charity: Wounded Warrior Project Donate: https://support.woundedwarriorproject.org/ Thanks for Listening!
