The idea that minors, even when labeled as "mature," should possess the autonomy to decide upon ending their own lives raises profound and multifaceted issues requiring careful examination, and by examination I believe it just shouldn't be happening AT ALL.FOLLOW @ KELSIE_SHERENSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenWatch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3opNURn  - - - - - - - - - - - -SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -RHO Nutrition - Code: KELSI20 -  https://rhonutrition.com/KELSIXX-XY Athletics - Code: KELSI20 - https://www.xx-xyathletics.com/?sca_ref=7336247.FtJS2YUK4OKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin- 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -SHOPB&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow #thekelsisherenperspective- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgHonour House Society - https://www.honourhouse.caAll Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.orgDefenders of Freedom -https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.orgSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenWatch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3opNURn  - - - - - - - - - - - -SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -RHO Nutrition - Code: KELSI20 -  https://rhonutrition.com/KELSIXX-XY Athletics - Code: KELSI20 - https://www.xx-xyathletics.com/?sca_ref=7336247.FtJS2YUK4OKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin- 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -SHOPB&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow #thekelsisherenperspective- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgHonour House Society - https://www.honourhouse.caAll Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.orgDefenders of Freedom -https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

In this conversation, Kelsi Sheren discusses the troubling trend of mainstream media normalizing assisted suicide and promoting a narrative of despair. She critiques publications like People Magazine for soft-selling the idea of quitting life, particularly in the context of serious illnesses like Alzheimer's. Sheren emphasizes the importance of resilience, community support, and the need to challenge the prevailing narratives that suggest death is a dignified option. She calls for a collective fight against this culture of despair and advocates for better healthcare and mental health support.00:00 The Media's Role in Normalizing Death02:49 The Psychological Warfare of Euthanasia Narratives06:03 Challenging the Culture of Despair08:46 Empowerment Through Resilience and AdvocacyTakeaways:The media is soft-selling the idea of quitting life.Mainstream narratives are normalizing assisted suicide.There is a betrayal of human life in these narratives.We must demand better treatments and care for the vulnerable.Human life is intrinsic and not transactional.The culture is promoting despair instead of resilience.We need to challenge the narratives that glorify quitting.Support independent media that advocates for life.Life encompasses a spectrum of experiences, including suffering.We must fight against the normalization of death as an option.Substack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenWatch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3opNURn  - - - - - - - - - - - -SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -RHO Nutrition - Code: KELSI20 -  https://rhonutrition.com/KELSIXX-XY Athletics - Code: KELSI20 - https://www.xx-xyathletics.com/?sca_ref=7336247.FtJS2YUK4OKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin- 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -SHOPB&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow #thekelsisherenperspective- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgHonour House Society - https://www.honourhouse.caAll Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.orgDefenders of Freedom -https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

Big shocker Veteran's Affairs is at it again, the Canadian government, since 2022, is failing our veterans in the most disgusting and disgraceful way possible: by offering them death care instead of healthcare! But Kelsi?! didn't they say they aren't doing that anymore?? Yes they sure did, once again Liberal lies. Are we surprised honestly?In a chilling repeat of a disturbing trend, another Canadian combat veteran has been offered medically assisted suicide (MAiD) instead of genuine support and treatment. My question is when did ending lives become an acceptable, even routine, solution for our veterans suffering from trauma, PTSD, or any other physical and mental health challenges? When did offering death become an easier alternative than providing the comprehensive care our veterans desperately deserve, care we know exists but are unwilling to use or fund.Follow: KELSIE_SHERENWatch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3opNURn  - - - - - - - - - - - -SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -RHO Nutrition - Code: KELSI20 - https://rhonutrition.com/discount/KELSI20XX-XY Athletics - Code: KELSI20 - https://www.xx-xyathletics.com/?sca_ref=7336247.FtJS2YUK4OKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin- 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -SHOPB&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow #thekelsisherenperspective- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgHonour House Society - https://www.honourhouse.caAll Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.orgDefenders of Freedom -https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

Alicia Duncan is the co-founder and principal designer of AR Interiors, a political and mental health advocate, and a devoted mom and stepmom to four.  Her life took an unexpected turn on October 21st, 2021 when her mother chose to end her life through Medical Assistance in Dying, also known as MAiD. Questioning the lawfulness of her death, Alicia and her sister sparked the first police investigation into a MAiD death in Canada, garnering international media attention. Since then, Alicia and her sister have become unwitting authorities on the subject of MAID, political advocates surrounding mental health, and are featured in the upcoming BBC documentary, “Better Off Dead?”Their opinions have been sought by the Canadian Parliament, as the country expands the availability of MAID, to include patients who are mentally ill. Alicia's upcoming memoir, "The Other Side of the Straight Jacket: A Journey Through Mental Health and the Flaws of Medical Assistance in Dying,” is set to release in 2024. Tune in for an engaging conversation as Alicia shares insights on resilience, mental health advocacy, and navigating life's complexities with courage and unity.Writing: @aliciaduncanwriteswww.aliciaduncan.comAdvocacy: @inmemoryofdonnafaithwww.inmemoryofdonnafaith.comWork: @arinteriorsincwww.arinteriors.caSubstack: https://substack.com/@kelsisherenWatch on YouTube: https://bit.ly/3opNURn  - - - - - - - - - - - -SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -RHO Nutrition - Code: KELSI20 - https://rhonutrition.com/discount/KELSI20XX-XY Athletics - Code: KELSI20 - https://www.xx-xyathletics.com/?sca_ref=7336247.FtJS2YUK4OKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI - https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin- 20% off with code KELSI - https://www.itsgoodlivin.com/?ref=KELSIBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -SHOPB&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow #thekelsisherenperspective- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHeroic Hearts Project - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgHonour House Society - https://www.honourhouse.caAll Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.orgDefenders of Freedom -https://www.defendersoffreedom.usBoot Campaign - https://bootcampaign.org

Dr. Dave Rabin, MD, PhD, is a neuroscientist, board-certified psychiatrist and Executive Director of The Board of Medicine, who is one of only a handful of psychedelic experts duly credentialed as an MD and PhD and practicing ketamine and MDMA-assisted therapy with his patients. As a leader in the psychedelic field, he published in Journal of Affective Disorders on July 1, 2023, calling for the medical community to join together to establish best practices for psychedelic medicine ahead of the anticipated legalization in 2024 of MDMA-assisted therapy for PTSD, and psilocybin therapy for depression disorders. In 15 years of studying the impact of chronic stress in humans, he focuses on non-invasive therapies for treatment-resistant illnesses. His primary research on MDMA-assisted therapy for severe PTSD was published in Frontiers in Psychiatry February 6, 2023, and shows trauma can be reversed at the genetic level, offering hope of a cure. He is also the Co-founder and Chief Medical Officer at Apollo Neuroscience, the first scientifically validated wearable technology to improve heart rate variability, focus, relaxation, and access to meditative states by delivering gentle vibrations to the body. He received his MD in medicine and PhD in neuroscience from Albany Medical College and specialized in psychiatry with a distinction in research at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic.

Jennifer Sey has been speaking truth and standing up for women and children for nearly two decades. First, in 2008 when she wrote a book called“Chalked Up,” exposing the abusive coaching practices in gymnastics. Despite her credentials (7x National Team Member and 1986 National Champ), the gymnastics community didn't much like the things she was saying. (Apparently you were supposed to protect the reputations of abusive coaches and Jen didn't get that memo.) But she persisted. And truth outed in the end. Jen stood up again in 2020, speaking inconvenient truths during covid in saying public schools should be open because children's education matters. For that, she was ostracized by friends and her community and her reputation took a beating. But she persisted. And truth outed in the end. Jen has also had a successful professional career. She is actually quite the brand builder, having been named one of Forbes' Most Influential Chief Marketing Officers 2 years in a row.Now, Jen is taking all that experience as an athlete, an executive and an advocate for women and children to build something uniquely her own. The brand is calledXX-XY Athletics and it is the only athletic brand standing up for women's sports. If you believe in truth and common sense and want best in class workout gear, this is the brand you've been waiting for. The truth looks good on you.Follow: @jenseysfSubstack:https://substack.com/@kelsisherenWatch on YouTube:https://bit.ly/3opNURn  - - - - - - - - - - - -SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS - - - - - - - - - - - -XX-XY Athletics - Code: KELSI20 -https://www.xx-xyathletics.com/?sca_ref=7336247.FtJS2YUK4OKetone IQ- 30% off with code KELSI -https://ketone.com/KELSIGood Livin- 20% off with code BRASS - https://www.itsgoodlivin.comBrass & Unity - 20% off with code UNITY - http://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -SHOPB&U Jewelry & Eyewear: https://brassandunity.com - - - - - - - - - - - - -Follow #thekelsisherenperspective- - - - - - - - - - - - -CHARITYHonour House - https://www.honourhouse.caHeroic Hearts - https://www.heroicheartsproject.orgAll Secure Foundation - http://allsecurefoundation.orgDefenders of Freedom -https://www.defendersoffreedom.usThe Boot Campaign -https://bootcampaign.org
