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

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.

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.

Mark Vicente is an author, speaker, and award-winning Writer/Director/Producer from Johannesburg, South Africa. His passion for filmmaking began early, taking his first photograph at age four, he worked his way up through the ranks of the camera department to become a director. Because of the atrocities in his native South Africa, he found himself propelled to question certain fundamental assumptions at a very young age. Beliefs about human behavior, morality, cosmology, existentialism and mysticism. Unifying his love of science, philosophy and film-making, Mark's dream of creating cinema to inspire and provoke thought began to emerge with the creation of “What the BLEEP do we Know?!” Several books have been written about the film's remarkable grassroots marketing campaign, which led to its unprecedented success. Later, Mark released ‘Encender el Corazon', a film about the rampant kidnapping epidemic in Mexico. It was bittersweet victory; while the film touched many people deeply, it was by association supporting the criminal enterprise NXIVM. Mark made the difficult decision to pull the film from distribution and, with a small band of whistleblowers, exposed their criminal behavior, resulting in multiple arrests and prosecutions. This journey is captured in the 15 part HBO Documentary Series “THE VOW”. He has since developed a keen and passionate interest in exposing the coercive and duplicitous environments of high-control groups. He is currently in post-production on ‘Empathy Not Included' (The Narcissist's Playbook) a feature-length documentary exploring one of the most pervasive and often misunderstood mental pathologies in our culture: Narcissism. Shot in seven countries and viewed through the lens of four self-confessed, self-aware malignant narcissists who openly share the secrets of how they operate with uncensored candor, the film follows their disturbing stories, juxtaposed with the growing body of wisdom from victims, survivors, scientists, and mental health professionals.
