Send us a textThe badge asks for everything, then hands you a shift change and a smile. We sat down with returning guest,  licensed clinical social worker Alexis Silva, to dig into the quiet realities behind the uniform: why trust is scarce, why stigma is sticky, and how substance use becomes a steady companion long before it becomes a crisis. Alexis works almost exclusively with first responders, military, and veterans, and brings her own sobriety and family experience to the table. That honesty opens a door many are afraid to touch—because careers are on the line, documentation feels risky, and walking into a room where you don't have to translate the language of the job can be the difference between shutting down and speaking up.We break apart common myths: not every struggle is trauma from the job; for many, it starts with childhood adversity, genetics, and family patterns. Alcohol, THC, and benzos promise relief and steal sleep, fueling irritability, poor decisions, and conflict at home. We unpack the tipping point where use shifts from choice to maintenance—when your body drives the next drink—and why matching care to risk matters. Sometimes inpatient comes first, then outpatient therapy and groups, so progress isn't crushed by daily stress. We also go beyond substances to behavioral addictions like gambling, tracing how the chase hooks into the same adrenaline circuits that make first responders so good under pressure.Across the hour, we map practical steps you can use today: how to assess risk without shame, how to reset routines every few career years, what honest partner check-ins sound like, and how peer support and culturally competent clinicians reduce fear of being “the problem” at the station. If you've wondered whether your coping is helping or hiding, this conversation offers a clear path forward—grounded, direct, and built for people who don't have time for fluff.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a quick review to help other first responders find it.

FOLLOW RICHARD Website: https://www.strangeplanet.ca YouTube: @strangeplanetradio Instagram: @richardsyrettstrangeplanet TikTok: @therealstrangeplanet EP. #1303 “She Was Told the Boy Was Her Son—But He Wasn't Human: The Elijah Encounter No One Wants to Touch” Tonight on Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, we enter one of the most emotionally charged and polarizing contact narratives you'll ever hear. Maria Cuccia, author of His Name Is Elijah, shares a deeply personal story that begins with faith, family, and motherhood—and then crosses into territory most people refuse to contemplate. This is not a UFO case file or a detached investigation. It's a lived experience shaped by Catholic mysticism, generational trauma, altered states of consciousness, and an alleged non-human encounter centered on an impossible bond: a mother and a child who does not exist in ordinary reality. We're not here to debunk or diagnose—only to ask whether our categories are too small. GUEST: Maria Cuccia is the author of His Name Is Elijah, a memoir exploring faith, consciousness, and an extraordinary encounter that reshaped her understanding of motherhood and reality itself. Writing with vulnerability and conviction, Cuccia examines the collision between mystical experience, psychiatry, and belief, offering a rare inside account of what happens when meaning itself is put on trial. Her work sits at the uneasy intersection of spirituality, trauma, and alleged non-human contact. BOOK: His Name is Elijah WEBSITE: https://mariacuccia.com SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS!!!

Today's episode features the first half of my recent conversation with Dawn Helms, in which she shares the story of her only son Ben and the long journey of loving him through significant mental health challenges.For years, Dawn lived in a constant state of vigilance—managing diagnoses, medications, school struggles, substance abuse, and periods of incarceration. Her home was rarely quiet, not because life was easy, but because Ben required constant attention and advocacy. Dawn helps us get to know Ben beyond his struggles—his humor, compassion, and the deep bond they shared. She also reflects on a brief, sweet season when Ben was home before his death, and how everything changed for her when the caregiving ended and the house grew quiet.This episode will be especially meaning for parents who have lost an only child or who spent years living on high alert due to a child's mental health issues. Be sure to return for next week's episode when Dawn will share more about the early days of grief, the choices that helped her survive, and how God met her in the quiet. I would love to hear your thoughts on the show.

Certified breathwork facilitator and founder of The Self-Care Suite Tara Pringle Jefferson joins us to reframe self-care beyond consumerism. Drawing from her new book Bloom How You Must: A Black Woman's Guide to Self-Care and Generational Healing, Tara unpacks the “strong Black woman” narrative, shares what was happening in her life when her doctor literally prescribed rest as medicine, and points out practical ways to build support, not just stamina. We get into social and professional wellness (hello, sabbaticals), the power of “third places,” why it's important to indulge creative rituals that aren't rooted in perfectionism, and the intergenerational wisdom she gathered from talking to 100 Black women ages 19–99. Plus: Toni Morrison's lesson on boundaries, Coretta Scott King's vocation-as-service, and a simple mandate for 2026 (remember you're human).For more from Tara:Bloom How You Must (book + tour dates)The Self-Care Suite (Tara's community)Tara on social: @WearWomenBloom (IG / Facebook / Threads)Connect with Be Well, Sis:Instagram – @bewellsis_podcastSubstack – bewellsis.substack.comFollow, rate, and share this episode!We're supporting St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

Drawing from A Nation of Wimps, Hara explains how fear and rapid cultural change pushed parents into “invasive” parenting, accidentally transmitting anxiety and squeezing play, risk, and independence out of childhood. The result isn't safer, stronger kids—it's more rigidity, perfectionism, and fragility. This episode is a steadying, permission-giving reset: play isn't extra, it's training for uncertainty; disappointment is information; and childhood doesn't need to be optimized to be successful.

Trevor Maxwell lived the archetype of masculinity in rural Maine. Big, strong, splitting wood, raising kids, and carrying the load. Then cancer ripped that script apart. In 2018 he was bedridden, emasculated, ashamed, and convinced his family would be better off without him. His wife refused to let him disappear. That moment forced Trevor to face his depression, get help, and rebuild himself. Out of that came Man Up To Cancer, now the largest community for men with cancer, a place where men stop pretending they are bulletproof and start being honest with each other.Eric Charsky joins the conversation. A veteran with five cancers, forty-nine surgeries, and the scars to prove it, Eric lays out what happens when the military's invincible mindset collides with mortality. Together, we talk masculinity, vulnerability, sex, shame, and survival. This episode is blunt, raw, and overdue.RELATED LINKSMan Up To CancerTrevor Maxwell on LinkedInDempsey CenterEric Charsky on LinkedInStupid Cancer FEEDBACKLike this episode?

Episode Description: What happens when a construction leader decides that building people matters more than building projects? In this episode of the Engineer Your Success Podcast Heath Troyer—fourth-generation contractor, business owner, and national mental health advocate—opens up about the hidden crisis facing construction leaders today: managing projects has become easier than leading whole humans. Heath and James explore why so many leaders still operate from a “leave yourself in the parking lot” mentality, how self-awareness transforms leadership, and why building systems that build people starts with leaders being willing to do their own work first. This conversation doesn’t just challenge how we think about leadership in construction—it challenges how we show up as leaders in every area of life. If you’ve ever felt the weight of leading while carrying your own unspoken struggles, this episode is for you. Key Takeaways: Leadership in construction (and beyond) is shifting from “employee at work” to leading the “whole self”—but most leaders lack the tools to make this transition effectively Self-awareness is the foundation of effective leadership: leaders must run toward therapy, mental health resources, and personal growth first before they can truly support their teams Building systems that build people requires continuous check-ins to understand what motivates each person at their current life stage—not just what serves the company agenda Your worth isn’t measured by your accomplishments; high performers often run toward achievement while running from a foundational belief that they’re “not enough” Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:41    Leadership challenges: managing projects vs. leading people08:25 Self-awareness as the foundation of leadership14:23   Community impact and giving back17:13    Heath’s personal journey and mental health advocacy25:23 What engineering your success really means29:12   Your worth is not measured by your works31:43   Coach in Your Corner and closing prayer About Heath Troyer: Heath Troyer is a fourth-generation construction leader, business owner, and national advocate for mental health in the trades. With over 25 years of experience in roles from carpenter to Senior Project Manager, Director of Field Operations, and Director of Corporate Safety, Heath now owns Troyer Construction Services, specializing in non-profit work including grant-funded home modifications and attainable housing for underserved communities through partnerships with organizations like Neighborhood Link. As a suicide survivor, Heath works nationally with the Construction Industry Alliance for Suicide Prevention (CIASP) and provides mental health support through YMCA childcare services. He speaks openly about leadership, self-awareness, and creating workplace cultures where people can bring their whole selves to work. His leadership philosophy is simple: we can build more than buildings—we can build people. Connect with Heath on Facebook at Heath Troyer or through Troyer Construction Services.

This episode of the Hope Discovered podcast explores the often-overlooked mental and emotional impact of being suddenly sidelined by injury or illness.CommQuest CEO, Elaine Russell Reolfi, shares her personal experience of recovering from a severe ankle injury and the unexpected psychological toll of immobility, loss of independence, and disrupted routines. Joined by Dr. Michelle Heberling, Chief Clinical Officer, and Osamuedemen D. Iyoha, M.D., Medical Director of Psychiatric Services, the conversation normalizes feelings such as frustration, grief, anxiety, and depression that frequently arise after sudden health changes. The clinicians explain common emotional phases people experience—from initial crisis and over-planning to exhaustion and grief—and emphasize that these reactions are typical, not signs of weakness.The discussion also focuses on how mental health directly affects physical healing and recovery. The panel offers practical guidance for patients and loved ones, including pacing oneself, setting realistic expectations, maintaining routines, using grounding and relaxation techniques, asking for help, and communicating honestly with healthcare providers. They stress the importance of self-compassion, support systems, and seeking professional mental health care when warning signs like withdrawal, hopelessness, or feeling like a burden emerge.This episode of the CommQuest Hope Discovered Podcast reassures listeners that healing is an active process, rest is productive, and caring for the mind is essential to caring for the body.

When a suicide, overdose, or traumatic death happens in the workplace, the response in the first 48 hours can either stabilize the organization or unintentionally increase harm.Yet most workplaces have no clear postvention plan.In this Headspace for the Workplace conversation, Dr. John Gaal brings together lived experience, labor leadership, and research to explain why postvention is the missing leg of the three-legged stool of workplace mental health: prevention, intervention, and postvention.Drawing from decades of workforce development, construction industry data, and peer-reviewed research, this episode explores:What actually helps people in shockWhy EAPs are often underutilized in crisisHow trained peer supporters serve as “mental health first responders.”Why partnerships — not silos — save livesWe talk about what leaders must do when the unthinkable happens.For more informationm on this episode go to https://www.sallyspencerthomas.com/headspace/84

Heartbreak nearly killed him.Kevin Crenshaw shares his raw and deeply honest journey through heartbreak, suicidal thoughts, addiction, chronic illness, and losing everything — long before his life ever “looked” like it was falling apart.In this episode of I Am Redemption, Kevin opens up about how heartbreak shattered his identity, how chasing love and relief slowly turned into deeper pain, and how avoidance led him down a path of addiction, mental health collapse, overdoses, homelessness, and a complete loss of self.What started as emotional pain and identity confusion escalated into a full unraveling. Kevin talks candidly about surviving his own mind, losing trust in himself, and hitting moments where he didn't know if he would make it out alive.Despite near-death experiences, illness, and repeated attempts to escape his pain, Kevin continued to spiral, a reality many people struggling in silence know all too well. This conversation dives into the truth about heartbreak, addiction, and healing, why “high functioning” doesn't mean healthy, and why awareness alone isn't enough to change.A significant part of Kevin's story also centers on his relationship with God, not in a polished or performative way, but in the moments where he had nothing left. He shares how faith entered the picture at his lowest points, how surrender replaced control, and how trusting God became part of rebuilding his life from the ground up.Kevin also talks candidly about:• Heartbreak and identity loss• Suicidal ideation and mental health collapse• Addiction, overdoses, and avoidance• Chronic illness and nervous system burnout• Homelessness and losing everything• Wrestling with God during suffering• Surrender, faith, and letting go of control• Responsibility vs. awareness• Rebuilding from nothing without romanticizing painThis episode is for anyone who:• Appears put together while quietly struggling• Has tied their identity to love, success, or validation• Is surviving instead of truly living• Is sober-curious, in recovery, or facing emotional pain alone• Is questioning faith, meaning, or purpose in the middle of sufferingIf this conversation resonates, you're not alone, and there is a way forward.Kevin Crenshaw Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.heart.guyI Am Redemption Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iam.redemptionYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmRedemption

LESSON 6I Am Upset Because I See Something That Is Not There.The exercises with this idea are very similar to the preceding ones. Again, it is necessary to name both the form of upset (anger, fear, worry, depression and so on) and the perceived source very specifically for any application of the idea.For example:I am angry at because I see something that is not there.I am worried about because I see something that is not there.Today's idea is useful for application to anything that seems to upset you, and can profitably be used throughout the day for that purpose. However, the three or four practice periods which are required should be preceded by a minute or so of mind searching, as before, and the application of the idea to each upsetting thought uncovered in the search.Again, if you resist applying the idea to some upsetting thoughts more than to others, remind yourself of the two cautions stated in the previous lesson:There are no small upsets.They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.And:I cannot keep this form of upset and let the others go.For the purposes of these exercises, then, I will regard them all as the same.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Denmark has long been hailed as a digital champion, with online public services, digital IDs and tablets in schools as early as 2011. But authorities are now shifting course in the education and social sectors, following alarming figures on children's mental health and school performance. A massive return to analogue life is underway: mobile phones are banned in schools and after-school clubs, a return to pre-digital learning is being rolled out and social media will soon be banned for anyone under 15. Our team reports from Copenhagen.

If you're curious as to whether you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your goals, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma QuizPushing through stress works… until it doesn't.Chronic stress doesn't always show up as burnout right away. More often, it surfaces quietly through things like physical symptoms, emotional exhaustion, and a slow erosion of joy. This episode centers on how living out of alignment impacts the nervous system, the body, and long-term wellbeing, especially for high-functioning, purpose-driven people.A real world story illustrates how mental and emotional strain can accumulate beneath the surface, eventually manifesting as physical consequences that can no longer be ignored. The pattern is familiar: years of “shoulds,” pushing, and over-leveraging… followed by a moment when the body draws a hard line.This conversation is especially relevant for anyone interested in nervous system regulation, mind-body medicine, integrative health, or understanding how unresolved stress and trauma affect the body over time. Alignment isn't about perfection. It's about honesty, awareness, and choosing a path that supports both health and life.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:52] The hidden cost of living by “shoulds” instead of what actually feels aligned[09:14] What happens when stress and misalignment start showing up in the body[12:01] The moment making money quietly replaces fulfillment without you noticing[17:08] What changes when you stop outsourcing your intuition to experts and templates[21:36] The slow erosion of confidence that comes from not trusting yourself[27:45] The role identity confusion plays in burnout, anxiety, and feeling stuck[34:12] What real self-honesty looks like before alignment can return[39:58] Why surface-level mindset work can't resolve deeper misalignment[46:41] The warning signs of unhealthy power dynamics with coaches or gurus[52:14] The skill of taking advice without giving away your authorityFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

We live in complicated times and, for a whole lot of us, we do so with complicated minds. A billion people worldwide are living with some form of mental illness and 20% of the U.S. population has experienced a mental health crisis in the past year.Circumstances in our shared world are surely contributing to the problem: climate change and natural disasters, affordability and employment problems domestically, and people living in fear of sudden arrest and deportation. Meanwhile, tremendous strides are being made in mental health treatment as science finds incredibly effective methods and moves toward making them available.It's easy to conclude that the world is terrible and we're doomed. And it's treacherous to believe that everything is going to be all sunshine and roses soon.We ask you to hold two things in hand as you navigate the new year: the world is very challenging, likely contributing to mental health problems, AND there is more reason than ever to have hope of a better tomorrow. It's not binary. It's not either/or. It's both.Thank you to all our listeners who support the show as monthly members of Maximum Fun.Check out our I'm Glad You're Here and Depresh Mode merchandise at the brand new merch website MaxFunStore.com!Hey, remember, you're part of Depresh Mode and we want to hear what you want to hear about.

When Healing Isn't Instant: Reframing Mental Health, Faith, and Finding Your Next Step Have you ever wondered if your struggles with anxiety, depression, or trauma mean you're not “spiritual enough”? Maybe you've tried praying harder, reading your Bible more, or pushing yourself to “have more faith,” yet you're still stuck. If so, you're not alone—and you're not doing it wrong. In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with one of our incredible coaches, Susan King, to explore the shame many women feel around mental health and emotional struggles. Together, we unpack harmful spiritual myths, why healing is often a journey, and how to take faithful, empowered steps forward—even when life feels overwhelming. Whether you're navigating separation, burnout, or simply trying to figure out where to start, this conversation will offer you clarity, comfort, and practical wisdom for your next step.  Key Takeaways You Can Love Jesus Deeply and Still Need Help Too many women have been told that anxiety or depression means their faith is weak. Susan and I challenge this harmful belief, pointing to biblical figures like David, Elijah, and Paul—deeply faithful people who struggled emotionally. God meets us in our weakness, not with condemnation but with compassion. Spiritual Maturity Doesn't Mean Avoiding Hard Emotions Misinterpretations of Scripture—like reading "do not be anxious" as a command rather than comfort—can lead to unnecessary guilt. Healing is a process, and God often uses tools like counseling, medication, and support to bring restoration. You're not a failure if you need help. Your Desires Matter—Even in the Messy Middle We talk about the tension between accepting your current chapter and still longing for something more. Is it wrong to want change? Absolutely not. God invites us to co-author our story with Him. Discovering your God-given desires and letting go of comparison is part of living authentically and faithfully. Get Curious About Your Internal World When life feels overwhelming, it's not just about a to-do list. Sometimes resistance comes from fear—of failure, disapproval, or making a mistake. We share powerful tools like brain dumping and identifying your internal vs. external work so you can get unstuck and take your next step with clarity. Small Steps Can Shift Everything Healing and change don't require massive leaps. A 2% shift—whether that's taking a breath, letting go of perfectionism, or asking, “Who do I want to be today?”—can redirect your day and your life. Start small, stay curious, and trust that God is with you in every step.

Psilocybin is neurologically proven to unwire years of bad habits, enhancing focus, emotional control, and mental clarity. Society has intentionally hidden the truth about how this powerful compound can optimize your mind and body, but that changes now. In episode 847 of the Savage Perspective Podcast, host Robert Sikes sits down with Adam Schell, a former cannabis industry insider who now dedicates his life to psilocybin. Adam shares his incredible story, from a life altering psychedelic experience to losing millions and rebuilding. He explains the real science behind how microdosing psilocybin improves brain function, helps manage trauma, and promotes spiritual growth. They discuss the difference between a microdose and a hero dose, who is a good candidate for each, and why these substances are far safer and more beneficial than alcohol. This conversation reveals how you can use this tool to improve your health and become a more effective human being.If you are ready to apply this same level of optimization to your physique, join Robert's FREE Bodybuilding Masterclass to learn the proven system for building muscle and achieving your fitness goals. https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Code "SAVAGE" to save 15% off Adam's Site BrainSupremeGet Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQChapters:0:00 - Microdosing vs. Hero Dose: What's The Difference? 1:10 - The Philosophy of Building an Authentic Business 3:35 - How My First Psychedelic Trip Changed My Life Forever 6:00 - An Unforgettable Encounter With a Traumatized Veteran 8:29 - Why I Left The Cannabis Industry For Psychedelics 10:34 - The "Glorious Mutation" That Created Our Unique Strain 11:10 - A Beginner's Guide to Psilocybin Doses 13:20 - The Realistic Expectations for Microdosing 16:02 - Who Should Consider a "Heroic Dose" of Psychedelics? 18:04 - The Science of What Psilocybin Actually Does to Your Brain 19:54 - "Vertical" vs. "Horizontal" Psychedelics (Mushrooms vs. LSD/DMT) 22:12 - How a Hero Dose "Turns On The Lights" in Your Mind 24:39 - How Psychedelics Define My View of God & Religion 27:01 - Unlocking The "Ethereal Mycelium Network" 28:33 - Does Psychedelic Use Align with Organized Religion? 30:39 - Why I Can No Longer Support My "Home Team" 33:44 - I Lost $6.5 Million and Almost Got Myself Killed 36:10 - My Stance on Cannabis After Leaving The Industry 38:20 - My Book Deal Imploded, The Housing Crisis & Michael Jackson 41:45 - The Critical Difference Between Weed and Mushrooms 44:12 - The Downsides of Weed vs. Psilocybin 47:32 - Is It Possible to Get "Stuck" in a Bad Trip? 50:16 - Is Using Psychedelics for Growth "Cheating"? 53:04 - The Ancient & Mystical History of Psychedelics 55:25 - Why There Is a Stigma Against Psychedelics 58:05 - A Breakdown of Our Life-Optimizing Formulas 1:01:21 - How to Find Your Perfect Microdosing Protocol 1:05:33 - Does The Effect of Microdosing Wear Off? 1:08:32 - What Makes Our Brand Different From The Rest? 1:10:33 - Our Unrivaled Approach to Customer Service 1:14:24 - Where to Find More Information & A Discount Code
