Podcasts about Helpline

Happy New Year! Welcome to a special Thursday episode of Joy Lab as we kick off 2026 with our Element of Inspiration. We'll explore why inspiration is so much more powerful than willpower-driven resolutions with some extra attention to the good news that inspiration is absolutely a skill you can cultivate. This is also the first episode of our series on self-connection. We'll start by highlighting the three components that create fertile ground for inspiration: self-awareness, self-acceptance, and self-alignment. If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself or struggled to move from dreaming to doing, this episode offers both the research and a roadmap.

It's been an interesting year (and honestly, we're still searching for the right adjective). But one thing is crystal clear: we desperately need to prioritize joy—our own and others'. And no, that's not toxic positivity talking. In this special episode, we'll talk about what joy actually means at Joy Lab. Spoiler alert: it's not just happiness, and it's definitely not dependent on your life circumstances being perfect. The truth is that joy is an unbreakable undercurrent that exists within each of us—even the self-proclaimed pessimists among us. This episode is also a heartfelt call to action. As a nonprofit committed to keeping mental health resources accessible and ad-free, Joy Lab needs your support to continue spreading evidence-based, soul-filled tools for resilience and wellbeing.

In today's episode, we sit down with Angela from the UK, an endometriosis warrior, author, and dedicated volunteer with Endometriosis UK. Angela opens up about her long and winding path to diagnosis, the years of symptoms that were dismissed, and the moment she finally felt seen and believed.We talk about what it means to navigate a condition that's so often misunderstood, why patient support is absolutely vital, and how her own journey inspired her to help others through the Endometriosis UK helpline. Angela also shares the process of writing her book and the healing that came with telling her story.

Ever felt that electric energy ripple through a crowd at a concert, sports game, or peaceful protest? That's not just your imagination—it's collective effervescence, and it's something we're deeply wired for as humans. In this episode, we'll dive into the fascinating science behind why gathering together matters for our mental health, especially in our increasingly isolated modern world. French sociologist Émile Durkheim coined this term over 100 years ago, nearly a century before we could take all of our gatherings online. Even then, Durkheim noticed that folks were missing some of these necessary experiences in their lives. The good news is there are lots of diverse ways to experience more collective effervescence (e.g., concerts, grief groups, sports events, game nights, book clubs, weddings, funerals, and fitness classes). We'll talk more about how to incorporate these experiences into your daily life and some of the obstacles that might pop up.

Have you been told (or told yourself) not to care what others think? Spoiler alert—caring what others think isn't a bad thing. In fact, it's completely natural and wired into us as humans. The real issue? Trying to stop that caring or caring too much about what others think and letting that concern disconnect us from ourselves and others. We'll cover some strategies to address both of these common tendencies so that your caring can nourish you rather than deplete you.

Creating a helpline for eating disorders is now a reality. Sarah Callazzo used to wear smaller jeans and fake a smile. She liked having as many friends as possible. She would never consider herself a leader. Her camera roll was filled with 'progress pictures' of her body. She was fighting a losing battle with herself. She was in denial and was exhausted - but she would've never admitted it. Around five years ago, Sarah decided she didn't want to be that girl anymore. She was exhausted from trying to be the girl that 'does it all.' Rather than trying to be a superwoman for everyone else, she wanted to be her own hero. She has been actively working on her own recovery while encouraging others to do the same. Sarah is a proud sister of Zeta Tau Alpha sorority, a former Chapter President at the University of Rhode Island, and author of the book "Unknown Warrior: Battling the Mirror". Sarah just completed her Master of Social Work at Fairleigh Dickinson University in the Spring of 2025, and has recently founded a new organization that she will tell us all about called "Love a Stranger". In episode 625 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, we find out the moment when Sarah realized didn't want to be that version of herself anymore (performative), what does Unknown Warrior mean to her, why is there a documented rise in eating disorders nationwide, what are the warning signs students and chapter leaders should be watching for with eating disorders, what was the moment that sparked the creation of this helpline for eating disorders, what does peer-to-peer support offer that traditional treatment or crisis systems often cannot, what is one practical change we could implement this semester to better support students struggling with body image or disordered eating, and what should students actually feel when they hear ""What you look like is the least interesting thing about you". Enjoy!

In this episode, Henry and Aimee explore the fascinating science behind emotional contagion and how we're constantly picking up signals from those around us.

'Tis the season of giving! Or maybe the season of giving too much? In this episode, we'll talk about the positive effects of giving, such as the release of dopamine and endorphins, which create a 'helper's high.' And then... we'll talk about the importance of recognizing and respecting our limits so we don't give too much (and venture into that space sometimes called 'pathological altruism'). We'll cover some strategies to navigate healthy giving, including the reminder that giving and receiving must come together.  About: The Joy Lab Podcast blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood.

In this powerful episode of Philanthropy in Phocus, Tommy D, the Nonprofit Sector Connector, sits down with Kavita Mehra, Executive Director of Sakhi for South Asian Survivors of Gender-Based Violence, for an honest, vulnerable, and inspiring conversation about what it means to build a life of service and stand with survivors. From her working-class Jersey roots and 100-hour weeks in her mother's Hallmark store, to frontline overnight shelter work, to being fired from a fundraising role and coming back stronger, Kavita shares how every step of her journey shaped the leader she is today.Kavita opens up about being a survivor herself, the loneliness of navigating class and identity as an Indian American woman, and how those lived experiences inform her leadership at Sakhi. She and Tommy dig into the realities of direct service vs. development, the importance of professionalizing the nonprofit sector, and why fundraising is really about storytelling, connection, and aligning passion with resources. Along the way, they talk about the Imagine Awards, sector stress, and why small groups of committed people truly can change the world.You'll also hear how Sakhi has grown from a small organization with a modest budget into a $7M+ movement hub with a 50-person team, offering holistic, in-house support for survivors across the South Asian and Indo-Caribbean diaspora: a helpline and text line, safety planning, immigration and family law support, trauma-informed counseling, housing assistance, culturally specific food access, economic empowerment, job coaching, and more. Kavita and Tommy emphasize that survivors are the agents of change in their own lives – Sakhi's role is to clear barriers so they can safely make their own choices. They close with a call to action to support Sakhi or your local gender-based violence organization, because this work is truly life-and-death and impacts every community.Resources & How to Get HelpIf you or someone you know may be experiencing gender-based violence and needs support:Sakhi for South Asian Survivors

How's your self-talk? If you're like most folks, it's probably not as kind as you'd like. In this episode, we'll talk about the power of positive self-talk and gratitude. We'll get into how the chatter of those more critical self-talk "voices" can be navigated and even the positives behind them (with some attention to Internal Family Systems perspective). We'll also guide you through some power strategies to make your self-talk kinder. A few of these include 'Grateful Self-Talk' and the concept of 'distanced self-talk' or 'illeism,' which involves speaking to yourself in the second or third person to create psychological distance and foster self-compassion. After listening, be sure to give these practices a try. They're powerful and well worth your time. Incorporating more positive self-talk is a real pathway to better mental health and wellbeing.  About: The Joy Lab Podcast blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood.

Get answers to your biggest questions about shopping for a health plan. Where do most people get health insurance?Many people get health coverage through an employer, such as your job, your spouse's job, or a parent's job (an option until you turn 26). Others buy it through HealthCare.gov, where you might qualify for an income-based tax credit to lower your premium. What should you look for when choosing a health plan? Compare the Summary of Benefits and Coverage for different plan options. This document gives you an apples-to-apples comparison of how much you pay for different types of care and what limits apply. Ask if a plan covers your doctors and medications. How do I know if a plan is affordable? The premium is the monthly cost you pay. It's usually straightforward with an employer plan. If you're shopping for an individual plan on HealthCare.gov, have an estimate of your annual income ready because your premium tax credit depends on your income. Pay attention to out-of-pocket costs as these can vary widely. Take note of the plan's deductible and the copays for visiting the emergency room, a specialist, and a primary care physician. If there's a deductible, how much is covered before I meet it? Any plan you buy on HealthCare.gov must cover preventive care before you reach your deductible. Preventive care services include annual checkups and school vaccines for your children. If your kids get sick, some plans will cover primary care for free or a copay or offer free virtual visits and telemedicine before you meet the deductible. If you're considering a high-deductible plan, know what coverage you'll get before you meet your deductible. This factor could be the difference between plans that have a similar monthly premium or a similar deductible. When is open enrollment? You can sign up for a new health plan on HealthCare.gov during open enrollment from November 1 to January 15. To get coverage that starts January 1, you must enroll by December 15. For health plans through your job, the enrollment period varies. Ask your company's human resources department for the dates. What red flags should I look for? Limited benefit health plans. These health plans might have a lower monthly premium, but they don't provide major medical coverage. Limited plans aren't part of HealthCare.gov and only cover certain services at specific coverage amounts. Pressure to buy now. No one should pressure you to buy a plan without giving you a chance to read the fine print. Examine the Summary of Benefits and Coverages before you buy anything so that you understand all the coverage and exclusions, their provider network, and the medications they cover. Upfront requests for personal information. Never share your phone number, credit card, or Social Security number unless you're on a trusted site like HealthCare.gov or an official insurance company website. Be suspicious of unsolicited phone and email offers. Questions? Visit HealthCare.gov or call our Help Line at 800-252-3439.Use these tips to shop smart for health coverage.Health care coverage guide.How to apply and enroll.Alternative health plans.Know what kind of health insurance you're buying.

We'll dig into how we can see beyond suffering and dysfunction to recognize the good within ourselves and others. This is a skill we can all practice and get better at.

The poet Rumi shared this wisdom: "Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, Your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom." The poetry of Rumi makes that process sound like a smooth and blissful journey. Of course, the reality is that the work of being open amidst tough stuff, seeing our suffering, accepting our pain, and moving on can be messy and difficult. AND, no matter how many times we try and fall short, it's still healing work. We'll dig into this journey throughout the episode, how we can be open to and see the truth of our pain, and how to apply compassion and practical steps to move beyond what might be holding us back.  About: The Joy Lab Podcast blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood.

We're digging into the Dr. Gabor Maté's third level of compassion in this episode: The compassion of recognition. This level emphasizes realizing the shared nature of pain and loss, reminding us that we are not alone. We'll highlight the 'illusion of separation' and how breaking through it can deepen our connections and ease our struggles.

Nearly 13,000 Vermonters aged 65 and older had Alzheimer's disease as of 2020 — 10% of the state's over-65 population. Around each of those people orbits nurses, doctors, home health aides and family members who devote their lives to care. The documentary "Walk With Me" by filmmaker and casting director Heidi Levitt tells the story of her husband Charlie Hess's early-onset Alzheimer's. The film screened earlier this year at the Middlebury International Film Festival, and it will screen again this Saturday at the Vermont International Film Festival in Burlington. Levitt and Hess split their time between Stowe and southern California.While Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease with no cure, there is a lot of positive news right now in terms of research, medications and health guidance that can slow cognitive loss, and supports for caregivers. We discussed these bright spots with Rhonda Williams, the public health program director for the Vermont Department of Health and the director of the Alzheimer's and Healthy Aging program, and Meg Polyte, policy director for the Vermont chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.The Alzheimer's Association 24/7 Helpline is a free service of support for people living with dementia, caregivers, families and the public.

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Mayor Teresa Thomas-Smith shares a direct, practical lens on leadership: your inner voice sets the ceiling for your strategy, culture, and impact. We dig into stripping away the “best self” mask, why vulnerability is a leadership asset (not a weakness), and simple practices to rewrite self-talk so results shift—at work and at home. Expect grounded examples, a real story of reframing under pressure, and clear steps to build an authentic, values-led leadership presence. Search-friendly themes: leadership mindset, authentic leadership, inner narrative, self-talk, mental fitness for leaders, emotional resilience, boundaries, trauma-informed growth.   About the Guest  : Teresa Thomas-Smith is the first African American and first female Mayor of Palmetto, Georgia. A global speaker and transformational strategist, she champions “lead her ship”—leading from essence, not titles—through radical authenticity, compassion, and practical inner work.   Key Takeaways: Authenticity is whole-self leadership: stop performing a “best self” and lead as a full human so others feel safe to do the same. Self-talk is the foundation: strategy and skills are only as strong as the inner voice driving them. Name the ego, don't obey it: acknowledge the loud, critical voice and consciously choose the truer one. Give yourself grace: change happens “right now,” one choice at a time—especially when you feel stuck. Write your story: put the desired outcome on paper; clarity + intention reduce fear and organize action. Release what no longer serves: notice old vows, roles, or narratives and consciously let them go. Your energy leads the room: remembered essence creates lightness, connection, and trust in teams. Practical starter: when negative self-talk spikes, pause, name it, thank it for trying to protect you, and release it; then speak a truer sentence aloud.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're tackling a sensitive and  tough conversation that can save lives. We're joined by Dan Somers and Dr Susie Bennett from the men's mental health charity ManUp to talk about male suicide - particularly why men are disproportionately affected, how the empathy gap shows up, and what's really driving the crisis beneath the surface: lack of purpose, isolation and useful tools for emotional regulation.We unpack the gender differences that too often get ignored, how cultural scripts keep men emotionally armoured, and the practical steps that help men open up before they hit the cliff-edge. Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide and may be distressing to some listeners.

Stuck in judgement? If so, you're not alone. In this episode, we're exploring the 'compassion of understanding,' the second level in Dr. Gabor Maté's five levels of compassion. This level of compassion can help us move beyond judgment and into curiosity and understanding. We'll talk about some strategies to put this into action so that we can cultivate compassion both for ourselves and others.     About: The Joy Lab Podcast blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood.

In this episode of the Joy Lab Podcast, we're not just defining compassion, but we're really getting into its relationship with mental health. We'll start by highlighting the important difference between pain and suffering and then get into how compassion, especially self-compassion, serves as a powerful antidote to ease stress responses. This episode also sets the stage for a 5-part series examining Dr. Gabor Maté's five levels of compassion, starting with ordinary human compassion. We'll dive into lots of practical examples (e.g., when you say something you wish you hadn't) and how to apply compassion.

Do you know that in Pennsylvania alone, there are more than 282,000 people living with Alzheimer's? And that there are over 465,000 caregivers who dedicate 822 million hours of unpaid care for them? And do you also know that there are lots of helpers who are dedicated to lifting those folks up and providing support? The Greater Pennsylvania Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association are those helpers. They not only offer support to anyone facing Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, they advocate for their needs and rights, they advance critical research, and they work toward methods of treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.Tressa sits down with the Association's Lynzy Groves and Raylene Gieg, two of the folks who have dedicated themselves to this mission. They are such generous souls who care so much for the people they help and the cause they support. Raylene is also currently a caregiver and you'll hear that part of her story as well. You're also going to hear a lot about hope and progress during this conversation, and you're going to learn ways that you can help, not only through volunteering or signing up for their Walk that's coming up soon, but by looking out for early signs of Alzheimer's and what steps to take if you think you or a loved one may have it. This is a really important and insightful conversation that we can't wait to share with you.

It was an excellent Grand Final. Scores were level at half time. Through a fair part of the third quarter, things were close and tense.
