Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Marsha Evans. A licensed mental health therapist, founder of Willow Tree Counseling & Educational Center, and creator of the FELT Experience and Marsha Listens wellness platform. The conversation centers on emotional health, nervous system education, sound therapy, community healing, and her evolution as a therapist and entrepreneur. Marsha shares her personal journey from being a competitive athlete to becoming a calming force for high‑functioning individuals dealing with burnout, stress, and emotional disconnection. She explains the origins of her signature FELT Experience, a wellness model designed to help people reconnect with themselves through somatic movement, sound healing, intentional rest, and community. She also highlights the challenges and breakthroughs in mental health—particularly within the Black community—and reflects on 16+ years of therapeutic practice. Purpose of the Interview The interview aims to: 1. Introduce Marsha Evans’ holistic mental health approach Rushion invites Marsha to explain how she blends psychology, somatics, and sound‑based healing to help people process stress differently. 2. Explain the FELT Experience and its healing framework Marsha details her signature F.E.L.T. model—Free, Expand, Listen, Transform—and why embodied emotional experience is key to healing. 3. Share her personal journey She discusses how sports, music, and modalities like breathwork and yoga helped her turn stress into purpose. 4. Encourage new perspectives on mental health in the Black community She and Rushion address the stigma, evolution, and growing acceptance of mental health support. 5. Showcase community‑centered healing Marsha emphasizes connection, shared experiences, and intentional spaces that allow vulnerability and transformation. Key Takeaways 1. Healing Requires Intentionality Marsha explains that activities like massage or yoga can be therapeutic—but only when approached with intentionality, presence, and consent to release emotional tension. 2. The Body Holds Stories (“The body keeps the score”) She emphasizes that the body stores emotional experiences, and modalities like breathwork, sound healing, and somatic movement help release what the mind can’t articulate. 3. The FELT Framework The FELT Experience moves participants through: F – Free: Permission to just be (coloring, resting, arriving without expectations) E – Expand: Allowing the body to open and receive L – Listen: To one’s own body, movement, and emotional cues T – Transform: The hardest phase—moving from chaos to peace 4. Safe Community Spaces Accelerate Healing Marsha’s events often result in participants forming friendships, emotional breakthroughs, and even planning outings together—an indicator of her program’s power. 5. People Are Conditioned to Avoid Emotions Growing up, she was taught to hide emotions in competitive sports—especially tears as a sign of weakness. Her therapeutic mission now is to help others unlearn similar conditioning. 6. Cultural Shifts Around Mental Health Marsha highlights major strides in the Black community, especially post‑COVID, as more people (including athletes) publicly acknowledge mental health struggles. 7. Therapy Isn’t Just Talking She incorporates nonverbal tools like: Play therapy Sand tray therapy Sound healing Somatic movement YogaThese help clients who can’t articulate their emotions—especially those conditioned to suppress them. 8. Human Connection Still Matters—even in an AI World Marsha is open to exploring AI in mental health but insists that physical presence, touch, and human empathy are irreplaceable. Notable Quotes (from the transcript) On her calming presence “I think laughter is good for the soul… just being able to find peace has been really big for me… It’s just a God‑given talent.” On coping mechanisms “As long as I had some type of music or some form of therapy… I could navigate any stressful environment.” On cooking as therapy (reflecting Rushion’s habits) “You’re creating new neural pathways… recalibrating your nervous system.” On intentional healing “Yoga and massages can be therapeutic, but you have to be intentional.” On the purpose of the FELT Experience “In order to release whatever your body is experiencing, you have to have a felt experience.” On the challenge of transformation “We are used to chaos… but we’re not used to healed environments.” On the evolution of her practice “I wanted to understand the whole person… and help them change the dial on their dashboard to fit their calling.” On mental health in the Black community “People perceive admission as a flaw… but healing is about understanding your story.” On creating safe spaces “By creating a space of safety and healing… people get to live the life they desired and not a life from survival.” #SHMS #BEST #STRAWSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailBrendan Reesor is on a mission to transform perceptions of mental illness. Years ago, he made a significant change to his diet, which not only led to notable improvements in his physical health but also had unexpected effects on his mental well-being.As he hoped, his once pallid complexion brightened, but he soon discovered that he was free from chronic anxiety and mild feelings of gender dysphoria that had previously troubled him. Intrigued by his own transformation, Brendan delved into research, observing that his past experiences were not isolated. He recognized a troubling pattern among others who, like him, shared traits of being plant-based, pale, anxious, gender dysphoric, and socially conscious.Determined to uncover the deeper truths about mental health, Brendan explored the intricate relationship between physical health and emotional well-being. He began to decipher complex phenomena often overlooked by experts, including nightmares, sleep paralysis, panic attacks, hallucinations, dissociation, mass hysteria, and postpartum depression, all of which he connects to deficiencies in blood and oxygen.In his book, Beyond The Pale: Anemia: The Visible Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness and Gender Dysphoria, Brendan invites readers to explore his findings and consider the often-unacknowledged role of physical health in understanding mental illness.Find Brendan at-Amazon- Beyond The Pale: Anemia: The Visible Yet Unseen Cause of Mental Illness and Gender DysphoriaWebsite- https://www.brendanjreesor.com/YT- @I Am Beyond The PaleLink Tree- @https://linktr.ee/brendan.reesor Find Boundless Body at-myboundlessbody.comBook a session with us here!

If we could reinvent schools, where would we begin?In Episode 5 of Talking Teaching, The University of Melbourne's Host, Dr Sophie Specjal welcomes Professor Sharon Goldfeld and Associate Professor Jon Quach for a conversation about rethinking schools and the connections between children's learning, health and wellbeing.Bringing perspectives from research, education and child health, this conversation invites us to reconsider what schools can be and how we support them to fulfil that promise.As the phased rollout of Thriving Kids begins, these questions have particular relevance. The episode offers a broader lens on early support, collaboration and the systems surrounding children and families.Professor Sharon Goldfeld AM is a developmental paediatrician and public health researcher and Director of the Centre for Community Child Health, a department of The Royal Children's Hospital and a research group of the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. Her work brings together child development, health, education, equity and the translation of evidence into policy and systems. A central thread in Sharon's work is the importance of the early years and how children's experiences before school and during the first years of schooling shape later learning, engagement, health and life trajectories.Professor Jon Quach is based in the Faculty of Education at the University of Melbourne and is affiliated with Population Health at the Murdoch Children's Research Institute. His research focuses on evidence-informed systems and interventions that support student mental health, wellbeing, engagement and learning, including the Mental Health in Primary Schools (MHiPS) initiative and work connecting schools with families, services and communities. His work also examines how experiences and supports across childhood, including the early and primary years, can influence longer-term learning and wellbeing.This episode deliberately continues the 2023 Talking Teaching episode Reinventing Schools: Elevating Student Learning, Wellbeing and Health. The original episode began with educators Erin Brass and Karlie Price describing MHiPS in practice, before Sharon and Jon explored the larger Reinventing Australian Schools provocation: what might schools become if learning, health and wellbeing were understood as interconnected parts of a child's development rather than separate priorities?Early years were also central to that discussion. Sharon stressed that what happens before school matters, that the transition into school should not be treated as an artificial divide, and that the first years of schooling are especially important for brain development, learning and engagement. This episode returns explicitly to that continuum, from early childhood into school, and asks what newer evidence tells us about prevention, early support, and changing trajectories before disengagement or difficulty becomes entrenched.This engaging conversation draws on what has been learned through MHiPS at scale, newer work on student voice, engagement and disengagement, Child and Family Hubs, Getting it Right, school lunches and integrated supports. It also makes one concise connection to the recent conversation Talking Teaching host, Dr Sophie Specjal had with Professor Frank Oberklaid and Associate Professor Matt Harrison about Thriving Kids, prevention, neurodiversity and earlier support.More information and useful links are available via this ⁠⁠⁠⁠link⁠⁠⁠⁠ on our Faculty of Education , Talking Teaching Web Page, where all listeners can access free resources discussed in this episode and insight into events and research at the Faculty of Education.

Psychedelics are having a moment in mental health care. Research is showing promising results for conditions including depression, treatment-resistant depression, anxiety, and PTSD. But how much do we actually know — and how much is hype? ADAA member expert and licensed psychologist Jonathan Schettino, PhD, explains how psychedelics went from being viewed primarily as illegal drugs to becoming the subject of serious clinical research. He breaks down what happens during psychedelic-assisted therapy, why standardized dosing matters, and why treatment involves much more than simply taking a psychedelic and “tripping.” Listeners will learn: how researchers control psychedelic doses in clinical trials why psychedelics aren't yet FDA-approved treatments whether psychotherapy makes psychedelic treatment more effective The research is promising, but the science isn't settled. This conversation explains what we know, what we don't know, and why the next few years could be critical for understanding the future of psychedelic-assisted mental health treatment. Listen now! This episode has been sponsored by the Anxiety and Depression Association of America (ADAA). Our guest, Dr. Jonathan Schettino, is a licensed psychologist specializing in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders and OCD as well as research on approaches to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.

In this solo episode of Live On Purpose Radio, Dr. Paul Jenkins takes on one of the most common laments he has heard in his practice: why do I do what I do when I know what I know? His answer is good news. Your brain is not malfunctioning. It is doing something it is remarkably good at, which is automating whatever you have already practiced. Neural pathways turn repeated experiences into cruise control, the same way walking, typing, or driving a car become automatic without a conscious thought.   That same process runs on our thoughts. We carry practiced ways of judging our circumstances, ourselves, and the people around us, and we have rehearsed some of those patterns thousands of times over decades. So when an old thought shows up on its own, there is no reason for guilt or shame. Familiar does not mean true. It means practiced. Dr. Paul introduces metacognition, thinking about thinking, as the place to start, because it creates a little space and that space is where choice lives. He also offers a shift in language: instead of "I'm just a negative person" or "I'm just an anxious person," try "I have become very practiced at noticing things negatively." A practiced pattern can be practiced differently.   To show what reprogramming takes, he describes the scrambled keyboards he brings to corporate trainings, with the keys popped off and put back in the wrong places. Most people need about forty-five seconds to type their own first name on one. Nobody would bother learning that layout without a reason, and that is the point. Two things are required to build a new neural pathway: meaning or purpose, and repetition. Meaning is essential but not enough on its own. You still have to take the keyboard home and put in the reps. He also reminds listeners not to confuse unfamiliar with unnatural, and points back to episode 721, "Now do it again tomorrow."   The episode closes with a question and an invitation. What are you practicing? Notice one thought pattern today that seems to run automatically, without beating yourself up, and ask whether it is a pattern you want to keep practicing. You have thoughts, but you are not your thoughts. October's theme on Positives is the brain, "the owner's manual." Positives is built for transformational learning through daily, weekly, and monthly practices, with the daily ones starting at three minutes a day.

You finally found the thread. The document is open, the brain is online, the thought train has left the station.And then: a “got a sec?” DM. A mysterious knock at the door. The window cleaning crew arrives. A mysterious foot crashes through the ceiling. (True story!)For our brains, getting derailed feels especially day-ending, thanks to our fragile executive function, our sticky attention residue (as always: ew) and good ol' emotional whiplash. But it's 2026, and they're just a part of modern life. AK and Matt suggest some ways we can keep  interruptions from destroying our productivity, both in and out of game. No promises we stay on track. In fact, this episode gets derailed in real time.But we do make it back.

Content Warning: This episode discusses mental health, depression, and suicide, which may be difficult or uncomfortable for some listeners. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available.“Pick yourself up by your bootstraps” epitomizes the toughness and grit we associate with agriculture. But what does the public not see about the mental and emotional toll of a job that seemingly never ends?

LESSON 274Today Belongs To Love. Let Me Not Fear.Father, today I would let all things be as You created them, and give Your Son the honor due his sinlessness; the love of brother to his brother and his Friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You created him.A special blessing comes to us today, from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him, and there will be no fear today, because the day is given unto Love.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

What happens when everything you know professionally about grief suddenly becomes personal?Dr. Patricia Timerman had worked in suicide prevention, intervention and postvention. She had studied suicide grief and facilitated groups for people who had lost someone to suicide.Then her dear friend Scott died by suicide.Suddenly, Patricia wasn't simply the clinician facilitating the conversation. She was grieving too. Despite everything she knew professionally, she found herself minimizing her own loss because Scott wasn't her spouse, child or parent. It was the members of her own grief group who reminded her that the relationship label didn't determine whether her grief mattered.On this episode of Groove with Portia, I sit down with Dr. Patricia Timerman, psychotherapist, author and founder of Advocate2Create, for an honest conversation about suicide loss, grief, guilt, identity and what happens when professional expertise meets lived experience.We also explore something that doesn't get talked about enough: What happens after the first year of grief?Patricia shares how the first year after a loss can feel surreal, while the second year may bring the painful realization that you're living in a reality you never chose. We also talk about the complicated experience of finding yourself laughing again while another part of you wonders how laughter is even possible.Our conversation then turns to relationships.Using her IAP model, Intention, Action and Perception, Patricia explains why two people can love and grieve the same person while experiencing one another completely differently. One person may believe they're “holding it together” to protect someone they love, while the other person experiences that strength as emotional absence.We also discuss the guilt and unanswered questions that can accompany suicide loss, why survivors may replay the days leading up to a death searching for answers, and how that search can sometimes turn into blame or self-blame.Finally, I ask Patricia what finding her groove means after grief, immigration, losing her voice, professional reinvention and everything life has asked her to navigate.This conversation is about more than surviving grief. It's about learning how to communicate through it, making room for different expressions of loss, and allowing grief to become part of our story without allowing it to become the entirety of who we are.Connect with Dr. Patricia Timerman: https://www.advocate2create.com/

What if there's more to psychedelics than the experience itself? What if they can offer a different lens on consciousness, healing, mental health, and the way we understand ourselves?In this thought-provoking episode #108 of the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, we go Beyond the Taboo with bestselling author, speaker, and psychedelic education advocate Matt Zemon for an honest conversation about what psychedelics can and cannot teach us about the mind, healing, spirituality, and ourselves.Matt Zemon is a scholar-practitioner, author, and educator working at the intersection of psychedelics, mental health, spirituality, and modern consciousness research. He holds a Doctor of Ministry from Pacific School of Religion and an MSc in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King's College London.As Executive Director of the Council on Spiritual Practices and the author of six books on psychedelics, religion, and healing, Matt brings together scientific research, ancient wisdom, and lived experience. His work focuses on helping people approach profound spiritual and psychedelic experiences with intention, appropriate risk reduction, and meaningful integration emphasizing that the goal is not simply a peak experience, but how those insights translate into everyday life.In this episode, we explore:✅ How Matt's first psilocybin experience helped him reconnect with his late mother and examine beliefs around safety, love and mortality✅ The emerging research around psychedelics and mental health conditions including PTSD, depression, anxiety and substance-use challenges✅ What psychedelic integration can look like through therapy, coaching, breathwork, meditation, yoga, nutrition, sleep and behavioural change✅ The concept of “big T” trauma versus the everyday experiences, losses, relationships and attachments that can also shape us✅ How psychedelic experiences can challenge our relationship with control, vulnerability, self-love and self-awareness✅ Matt's perspective on reclaiming personal agency and making informed choicesNOTE: This episode #108 is being re-released as part of the Best of Self-Care Goddess Podcasts, a collection of some of the most insightful and impactful conversations from the podcast archive.

We sit down with Susan Snow, author of The Other Side of the Gun: My Journey from Trauma to Resiliency, to talk about what it meant to lose her father, an LAPD robbery-homicide detective, in a planned assassination on Halloween night in 1985. Susan takes us back to the confusion, the flashing lights, the media swarm, and the gut-punch of feeling invisible as a teenager while everyone focuses on what comes next.From there, we get honest about the long tail of trauma: panic attacks, deep depression, suicidal ideation, and the way grief can lock your body into fight, flight, or freeze for years. Susan also shares a hard lesson about support systems that look good on paper but miss the point in practice, including therapy that isn't trauma-informed and leaves you believing you're “fine” when you're falling apart. We unpack the emotional mask so many people wear and how people pleasing becomes a survival strategy that quietly breaks relationships and self-trust.We also zoom out to the bigger mission of first responder mental health: if agencies want real resilience, they have to support spouses, partners, and kids, not just the badge. Subscribe for the next part of Susan's story, share this with someone who loves a first responder, and leave a review so more families find the support they deserve.You can reach Susan via her website at  https://www.traumatalksbysusansnow.comor on Facebook at:  facebook.com/traumatalksbysusansnowShe is also on Instagram at:  susan_snow1and Youtube at: TraumatalksbysusansnowDeemedFit: First Responder OwnedWe are a first responder owned company looking to get first responders in the best mental shape.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

How do we keep moving forward after the loss of a child?  In the second half of my conversation with Jackie Baker, author of Messy Mourning: Hope for Mothers Grieving the Loss of a Child by Suicide, we turn to some of the practical challenges grieving parents face as they learn to live with loss.Jackie shares four lies grieving mothers often believe - including the painful thoughts that we somehow failed our child or could have prevented what happened - and points us back to what is true. We also talk about why the second year of grief can sometimes be harder than the first and how to answer that difficult question, “How many children do you have?”We discuss why we can't walk this road alone, the importance of finding safe people, and some very practical ways friends and family can support a grieving parent. And Jackie shares how she has learned to intentionally look for “beauty in the brokenness” ... noticing the evidence of God's goodness all around her.  In this episode, we discuss:Four lies grieving mothers often believeWhy the second year of grief may feel harder than the firstNavigating the question, “How many children do you have?”The importance of safe people, support groups, and counselingWhat helps—and what doesn't—when supporting a grieving parentIntentionally looking for beauty in our brokennessThe hope we have in JesusIf you missed the first half of my conversation with Jackie, where she shares more about Sebastian and the unique challenges surrounding suicide loss, you can listen to last week's episode HERE.  You can learn more about Jackie, connect with her writing on Substack, and find links to her social media through her website.

For most people, a mental health unit is the last place they'd expect to find love.But Hannah and Sean's love story began at The Cassel Hospital in London. They met while being treated for borderline personality disorder.The couple tell us about supporting each other in married life, how the hospital worked with them on their relationship as part of their treatment and how they've learned they cannot fix each other. The conversation touches on the difficult subject of suicide.We meet Saihan, 22, and Charlie, 19, who, like many young disabled people, feel they are often under-estimated, especially when it comes to school and work.The charity Sense recently surveyed 1,000 disabled people aged 18-24 and found two-thirds felt under-estimated in education settings which often continued into employment, and also led to them lowering their own aspirations - sometimes called internalised ableism.Dr Kirstie Liddiard helps us to understand why this is happening and also gives some top tips on how disabled people often have far more skills up their sleeves than they believe.

One out of five people struggle with what they need to do due to their mental health. With this in mind, how can we make healthcare for mental health more accessible?There have been several solutions found for mental health over the years - therapy, medications, and the like - but these are costly and not attainable for all. We live in a world where there has been much progress on the mental health stigma, but there is still a ways to go in uncovering all the truths about mental health. Despite this, there are actually natural solutions that are within our reach and will allow prevention of a continuous decline in mental health. This is achievable by addressing the root cause and understanding what factors affect the state of our mental health.Dr. Krista Kostroman takes us into refreshing our perspective on mental health. She is licensed as a naturopathic doctor (ND) with the College of Naturopaths of Ontario (CONO) and earned her Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine from the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine (CCNM). Dr. Krista is also an active member of the Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND), the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND), and the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians (OncANP).In this episode, Dr. Krista Kostroman, N.D. discusses the five types of communities in dealing with mental health: Gut, Body, Mind, Community, and Spirit. These are discussed in relation to mental health in order to keep things simple while optimizing your mental health functions for the long run.00:00 Introduction02:55 Backstory of Dr. Krista Kostroman, N.D. 07:24 Diving into Mental Health11:52 Five Types of Community13:16 The Community of the Gut17:02 The Community of the Body21:01 The Community of the Mind25:23 Community and Mental Health30:26 The Community of the Spirit34:58 Conclusion▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬Keep yourself up to date on The DNA Talks Podcast!

Anxiety, depression and chronic stress are usually approached through psychology and the brain – but what if some of the biological processes influencing our mental health begin much further down, in the gut? In this episode of the MindHealth360 Show, I sit down with Dr. Oscar Coetzee, clinician, researcher and educator working at the intersection of psychology and nutritional science, to explore the gut–brain connection, the microbiome and the nutritional foundations of mental health.  Dr. Coetzee explains how the bacteria living in our gut can influence inflammation, nutrient metabolism and the amino acids needed to make neurotransmitters and why he believes gut and nutritional health deserve greater consideration alongside psychiatry and psychotherapy. Together, we explore the role of anaerobic keystone bacteria, what can happen when beneficial microbial communities are depleted and how increased gut permeability and LPS-producing bacteria may contribute to systemic inflammation and neuroinflammation. We also look at factors that may disrupt this system, from chronic psychological stress (which can affect both nutritional requirements and our ability to digest and assimilate nutrients) and constant digital stimulation, to diet, alcohol, medications and environmental exposures. Dr. Coetzee's message is not simply to take more probiotics or supplements. Instead, he makes the case for a more personalised approach that takes into account the gut, nutrition, metabolism and individual biology alongside psychological and psychiatric care. In this way he brings together  psychiatry, therapy and what he calls psychonutrigenomics together as three complementary pillars of mental health care. In this episode, you'll learn: How gut health and mental health are interconnected and how the microbiome can influence inflammation, nutrient metabolism and neurotransmitter pathways. Why anaerobic keystone bacteria such as Akkermansia, Roseburia and Faecalibacterium prausnitzii are receiving increasing attention. How the loss of beneficial anaerobic bacteria may allow opportunistic, LPS-producing bacteria to proliferate and contribute to inflammation and neuroinflammation. How psychological, physiological and environmental stress can trigger the body's stress response and how chronic activation can deplete nutrients and impair digestion. How information overload and constant digital stimulation are underrecognised drivers of anxiety. How amino acids including tryptophan interact with blood sugar regulation, B vitamins and magnesium in pathways involved in neurotransmitter production. Why simply taking nutrients may not solve the problem if the gut cannot digest, absorb and assimilate them effectively. Why Dr. Coetzee believes mental healthcare should integrate psychiatry, therapy and psychonutrigenomics rather than considering them in isolation. How functional testing may help clinicians investigate the microbiome, nutrient status, metabolism and genetics as part of a more personalised assessment of mental health symptoms. Take the conversation further at IMMH 2026 At the Integrative Medicine for Mental Health (IMMH) Conference 2026, Dr. Oscar Coetzee will explore these ideas in greater clinical depth in his session, The Connection Between Functional Testing and Mental Health: A New Frontier of Prevention, Causal Investigation and Treatment, sponsored by Designs for Health. Dr. Coetzee will explore how functional stool testing, organic acids, metabolomics, hormonal and genomic testing can be used to investigate neurocognitive dysfunction and mental health, including the relationships between nutrient deficiencies, the microbiome, gut inflammation, amino acids and genetic factors involved in neurotransmitter pathways. His session makes the case for what he describes as the often-overlooked "third pillar" of mental health treatment – psychonutrigenomics – sitting alongside psychiatry and therapy/counselling. Join Dr. Coetzee and more than 50 leading clinicians and researchers at IMMH 2026, October 8–11 at the Town and Country Resort, San Diego – or online.

Ask Rachel anythingHas your teenager come home upset because their friends have suddenly turned against them? Or have you heard that your child is part of a group chat where everyone is being urged to stop talking to someone? When a friendship conflict spreads through a whole group—and onto social media—it can be hard for parents to know what to say, when to step in, and how to help without making things worse.In this episode of Teenagers Untangled, I'm joined by Dr Dominique Thompson, a physician and expert in supporting young people, to explore why teenagers can be so quick to exclude someone, and why it can feel so difficult to stand apart from the group. We talk about the role of peer pressure, black-and-white thinking and social media—and the difference between challenging hurtful behavior and shaming someone.If your child is being ostracized, you'll hear how to support them, work with the school and help them find other sources of connection. And if you're worried your teen might be joining in, we discuss how to start a conversation that encourages empathy without simply lecturing or blaming them.We'll also share practical ways to make home a safe place for difficult conversations—and a simple question that might help a young person pause before they join a pile-on.If this piece has raised anything difficult for you or your child, Samaritans are available 24/7 on 116 123 (UK).If you want to read Rachel's expanded thoughts on this topic, click hereDr Dominique ThompsonSupport the showPlease hit the follow button if you like the podcast, and share it with anyone who might benefit. You can review us on Apple podcasts by going to the show page, scrolling down to the bottom where you can click on a star then you can leave your message. Please don't hesitate to seek the advice of a specialist if you're not coping.

In this episode, a look a the non-profit website of the National Alliance on Mental Health. What does it offer for those of us that have mental health challenges? There is good stuff on the NAMI website. Eh, there is a problem in the episode: I said the word of when I should have said on. I've fixed the visuals but... yeah I goofed. There are websites that claim to provide mental health information. Many of them are commercial for profit websites. Nothing wrong with that but you have to look at the product and what they sell.    Often it is you.    Not just cookies any more there are trackers, bugs and algorithm fences that round you and your information up for profit.   Some websites provide a surface level information that is connected to affiliate links.  Even those sites that originally have nothing to do with mental health issues.    I've seen mental health related articles on tech websites, hardware websites, and so called consumer-ish type sites that are nothing but link farms for products that are being sold under the guise of a review.    So I want to start doing more about describing the legit sites, the tolerable ones and hopefully over time, this will help folks stay away from the more skanky sites.   Resources Mentioned:  NAMI Information page on Mental Health Conditions.   NAMI Connections for Peer Support Group.

It's been since New Year's Eve since I sat behind this mic.A lot has happened since then. My dad died. My world changed. And somewhere in the middle of grief, loneliness, unanswered questions, changing friendships, and trying to figure out how the hell you're supposed to keep living when someone who was such a huge part of your life is suddenly gone… I found myself needing this space again.So, on International Podcasting Day, I'm back where it all started: talking shit, sharing my truth, and saying the things we don't always know how to say out loud.In this episode, I'm talking about grief in all its awkward, messy, confusing glory. About missing my best friend. About feeling let down by people I thought would show up. About the pressure to “move on” when I'm still learning how to exist in a world without my dad in it.And because September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, we're also going there. The uncomfortable conversation. The one about suicidal thoughts, loneliness, asking for help, and why sometimes “I'm here if you need anything” isn't enough. Sometimes you have to actually be there.This episode isn't polished. It isn't tied up with a pretty little bow. And honestly? It wasn't supposed to be.It's grief. It's love. It's anger. It's loneliness. It's dark humor. It's Dad. It's me trying to keep going.And maybe most importantly, it's a reminder to call your people. Check on your people. Make time for your parents. Say the shit you think you'll have time to say later. Because this life shit isn't guaranteed. ❤️‍

Why are organizations overlooking the mental health of their greatest assets? Political campaigns, much like other advocacy and caregiving professions, attract a certain type of person: hard-working, dedicated to the cause, and highly empathetic. Unfortunately, the willingness of this deep-feeling population to run themselves into the ground for the cause is all too often taken advantage of, and their wellbeing is consistently undersupported. In this episode, I speak with the founder of Mind the Movement, a non-profit that raises awareness for and develops mental health benefits for campaigns and other underserved initiatives. Ashley Williams shares her refreshingly practical take on what's missing and what's needed to help these essential organizers stay well and return to fight the good fight another day.Discover how organizers and employees alike can start prioritizing their mental health:The business argument for caring about the wellbeing of short-term staff;What a psychologically safe workplace looks like;The link between caring deeply and campaigning;How to manage the constant overwhelm that's become our new normal.Related Links:Connect with Ashley on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleycwilliams/ Follow Mind the Movement on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/mind-the-movement/ Follow Mind the Movement on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mindthemovementfund/ Follow Mind the Movement on Substack - https://mindthemovement.substack.com/ 2024 Campaign Staff Mental Health Report - https://bit.ly/24MTM The Unmute Yourself Toolkit - https://mindthemovement.org/toolkit/ When We're In Charge by Amanda Litman - https://www.amandalitman.com/wwic Episode 518, How Millennial and Gen Z Leaders are Changing What it Means to be in Charge - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode518 Unfinished Business by Anne Marie Slaughter - https://bookshop.org/p/books/unfinished-business-women-men-work-family-anne-marie-slaughter/aa05ce9043ac07ad New America Think Tank - https://www.newamerica.org/ TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionHIRED: a job search accelerator video course - https://www.bossedup.org/gethired LEVEL UP: a leadership accelerator for current and aspiring women managers - https://www.bossedup.org/levelup Bossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/ Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Jenny Opalinski has spent more than a decade inside hospitals where people lose the ability to speak, breathe, swallow, and sometimes survive. A medical speech language pathologist by training, she worked in ICU, neuro rehab, and long term acute care settings, including a Level 1 trauma center, where she watched clinicians absorb 10 to 15 traumatic events in a single shift and then get told to move the crash cart faster next time.That lived reality pushed her to co found The Wellness Shift, an advocacy and education platform focused on healthcare worker burnout, suicide, and assault. In this conversation, Opalinski walks through the moment that changed everything for her: standing in a hospital hallway listening to a family wail after a failed code, followed by a debrief that addressed logistics and ignored grief entirely.She also explains how that work led to Humanity Rx, her podcast about the human cost of medicine, and Dragon's Breath: Calming Tricks for Big Feelings, a children's book that translates evidence based breathing and regulation strategies into language kids can actually use. The episode covers moral injury, time scarcity, false wellness, respiratory muscle training, and why empathy keeps getting treated as an optional expense instead of clinical infrastructure.RELATED LINKSJenny Opalinski on LinkedInHumanity Rx PodcastFEEDBACKLike this episode?
