Hello, everyone! I'm excited to introduce you to my friend, Jacqueline Moreno. Today, we'll be discussing a topic that is very close to our hearts: navigating workplace culture while caring for our mental health, with a focus on anxiety and grief. Let's prepare for a meaningful conversation! I am Yovy Daniels, a former television corporate professional in the U.S. Spanish-speaking broadcast industry. I am building my media consulting firm, Alkiria Media Branding Consulting (AMBC). My business focuses on advocacy as a speaker and facilitator, emphasizing the importance of addressing Afrolatinx stories with proper respect and etiquette. I aim to challenge trends that promote ignorance or erasure and highlight those who have helped me succeed. Furthermore, I advocate for and document the personal stories of Afrolatinx individuals. I am passionate about female empowerment, higher education advocacy, and emotional intelligence. Additionally, I am the co-creator and host of @todolatinoshow with @todowafi on @youtube. I strive to deliver lectures at colleges and universities that establish new academic studies on the Afro-Latinx experience, explore contributions to pop culture, highlight digital trendsetters, and address future endeavors in social justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). As a producer and host of two podcasts, I am a native Spanish speaker who collaborates and co-hosts the TodoWafi media show, Todolatino.

In a heartwarming and insightful episode, Reading With Your Kids host Jed Doherty explores the incredible ways books can heal, support, and strengthen family bonds. The conversation dives deep into two groundbreaking resources that are changing how families approach reading and mental health. First up is Michelle Sherman's powerful book "I Am Not Alone," a game-changing guide for teens navigating the challenges of having a parent struggling with mental health. Sherman reveals a shocking statistic: about 20% of young people live with a parent experiencing mental health issues. Her book fills a critical gap, offering support, understanding, and practical strategies for teens who often feel invisible and alone. The episode then shifts to the Mother Daughter Book Club Guide, created by sisters Stefanie Hohl and Meghan Voss. This innovative resource transforms reading from a solitary activity into a dynamic, fun family experience. With 12 carefully curated books and interactive discussion guides, the book helps parents and children connect on a deeper level, making reading an adventure rather than a chore. Meghan Voss, an education expert, highlights the incredible benefits of reading together. Beyond just literacy, shared reading builds critical thinking skills, creates lasting memories, and helps children develop emotional intelligence. The guide offers flexible options for families, from intimate home book clubs to neighborhood reading groups. The conversation also touches on the ABC See Here Do reading program, which uses creative movement to teach reading skills, addressing the sobering fact that 70% of kids struggle with reading by fourth grade. Whether you're a parent looking to strengthen family bonds, a teacher seeking innovative literacy tools, or someone interested in mental health support for teens, this episode offers practical, heartwarming insights. It's a powerful reminder that books are more than just words on a page – they're bridges that connect us, heal us, and help us understand each other.

Becoming a parent is often described as one of the most life-changing experiences, filled with love, excitement, and a whole new level of responsibility. But alongside the joy, many new mums experience emotional highs and lows, sometimes more intense than expected. It's completely natural to feel a mix of emotions, but for some, those low moments don't just come and go; they linger and deepen. Postnatal depression (PND) can develop anytime within the first year after birth, often appearing in those early months. In this episode of The Happier Life Project, released just in time for Mother's Day in the UK, we welcome back My Possible Self contributor Chlo Hodgkinson — a personal trainer, women's diet, fitness, and hormones coach, and founder of Chlo & Co Media, a social media company dedicated to the fitness and wellness space. Chlo shares her remarkable journey from pregnancy to parenthood, reflecting on everything from coming to terms with the big news and preparing for a smooth labour, to navigating the emotional challenges of caring for a newborn. She also discusses her experience with postnatal depression, which emerged at the five-month mark and, according to the NHS, affects over 1 in 10 women, sharing how she gradually reclaimed her well-being. Chlo candidly addresses the pervasive mum guilt she continually struggled with, the societal pressure to ‘bounce back' after giving birth, and how she protected herself from the overwhelming social media content directed at new mums. With host Gabby, Chlo also talks about how she found balance between her thriving career and the demands of motherhood, offering listeners an inspiring message of resilience and self-compassion. Through her honest account, we aim to provide understanding, support, and solidarity for mums everywhere. Whether you're a new parent navigating similar challenges or supporting someone through their postpartum journey, tune in for heartfelt insights, practical advice, and the reassurance that it's okay to ask for help.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Reverend Dr. Jacqueline Rushin. Dr. Rushin is also a writer and author whose work elevates human potential through self-awareness. Her most recent book, The Hidden Hand: How Human Decisions Behind Rapid Technology Deployments Are Driving a Mental Health Crisis, is a thought-provoking exploration of ethics, humanity, and the mental health challenges posed by an increasingly technological society. The book, "The Hidden Hand: How Human Decisions Behind Rapid Technology Deployments Are Driving a Mental Health Crisis," is scheduled to be published by January 30. “The Hidden Hand” unveils the profound and often overlooked consequences of the rapid integration of artificial intelligence, automation, and other technological advancements into our daily lives. Co-authors Dr. Jacqueline Rushin and Patrice Alexander, LPC, deliver a thought-provoking exploration of the human decisions that prioritize profit, efficiency, and innovation at the expense of mental health, identity, and societal well-being. This book is not a critique of technology itself, but an urgent examination of the human choices driving its “rapid” deployment—choices that prioritize profit and efficiency over human-centered approaches, often disregarding the far-reaching consequences on our collective well-being. With deep compassion and sharp insights, the authors analyze the cascading effects of these decisions: job displacement, the erosion of workplace culture, rising rates of anxiety and depression, and increasing societal disconnection. Drawing from real-world experiences, industry trends, and cutting-edge research, “The Hidden Hand” exposes the warning signs of an impending mental health crisis fueled by the neglect of humanity’s needs. Through compelling narratives and actionable solutions, the authors challenge readers to redefine what progress truly means. They present a vision of a future where technology complements human potential rather than diminishes it—a world where innovation becomes a tool for connection, equity, and resilience. “The Hidden Hand” is a wake-up call for individuals, businesses, policymakers, and communities to confront the unseen forces shaping our future and reclaim humanity at the heart of innovation. This book is essential reading for anyone committed to creating a more balanced, equitable, and humane technological era. Together, we can redefine progress and build a future where innovation uplifts and sustains us all. Here’s to humanity! As the co-founder of Alexander and Rushin Holistic Mental Health and founder of Power of 3 LLC, a nonprofit serving underserved communities with transitional housing, essential life skills, and sustainable skills aligned with the Digital Age, Dr. Rushin has positively impacted countless lives.

Renowned brain health expert Dr. Daniel G. Amen reveals transformative insights into optimizing brain function, no matter its current state. Our conversation takes you through Dr. Amen's groundbreaking findings, highlighting the often-overlooked consequences of mild traumatic brain injuries and the limitations of traditional psychiatry in neglecting the brain's physical condition. With a deep dive into the distinctions between physical and emotional trauma, Dr. Amen provides a crucial understanding of how these factors affect brain activity, offering a nuanced perspective for addressing mental health challenges effectively. Explore the intricate relationship between lifestyle choices and brain health with us. Drawing from my upcoming book, "The End of Mental Illness," Dr. Amen and I discuss how common dependencies on caffeine, alcohol, and sugar can severely impact mental well-being. We delve into the addictive nature of sugar and its potential role in depression and dementia, all while emphasizing the need for fostering healthier relationships with food and substances. Learn about the fascinating insights gained from brain scans and discover a free online test that can help you better understand your brain type, ultimately enabling a more personalized approach to mental health. We also address the potential health risks of electromagnetic frequencies from devices like cell phones and emerging technologies like 5G. Dr. Amen discusses the alarming rise in deaths related to drugs, alcohol, and suicide, suggesting a paradigm shift in viewing these issues as brain illnesses. The conversation explores the impact of physical health on brain function, and we touch on the transformative power of music in enhancing creativity, mood stabilization, and relaxation. Listen in as we discuss the importance of aligning lifestyle choices with natural rhythms and explore alternative mental health treatments like diet, exercise, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). ------------------ Dr. Daniel G. Amen believes that brain health is central to all health and success. When your brain works right, he says, you work right; and when your brain is troubled you are much more likely to have trouble in your life. His work is dedicated to helping people have better brains and better lives. The Washington Post called Dr. Amen the most popular psychiatrist in America and Sharecare named him the web's #1 most influential expert and advocate on mental health. Dr. Amen is a physician, double board certified psychiatrist, television producer and ten-time New York Times bestselling author. He is the Founder and Medical Director of Amen Clinics across the US. Amen Clinics have the world's largest database of functional brain scans relating to behavior, totaling more than 125,000 scans on patients from 111 countries. Dr. Amen is a Distinguished Fellow of the American Psychiatric Association, the highest award given to members, and is the lead researcher on the world's largest brain imaging and rehabilitation study on professional football players. His research has not only demonstrated high levels of brain damage in players, he also showed the possibility of significant recovery for many with the principles that underlie his work.

Amen regarding brain health and optimization. We explore Dr. Amen's groundbreaking discoveries, including the ability to improve brain function regardless of its current state, the profound impact of mild traumatic brain injuries that often go unnoticed, and the shortcomings of traditional psychiatry that overlooks the brain's physical state. Dr. Amen distinguishes between physical and emotional trauma, highlighting how each affects brain activity differently. He shares how physical trauma can lead to decreased brain activity, while emotional trauma can cause heightened activity in the limbic system, which is crucial for understanding how to appropriately treat various mental health challenges. Understanding these differences is essential to either calming or repairing the brain effectively. (0:05:19) - Balancing Brain Health and Behavior (15 Minutes) This chapter focuses on the relationship between daily habits and mental health, specifically discussing the impacts of caffeine, alcohol, and sugar on the brain. I share insights from my upcoming book, "The End of Mental Illness," where I discuss how society's dependency on coffee to wake up and alcohol to sleep can contribute to mental health issues. By gradually reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, individuals can improve their energy levels and sleep quality without withdrawal symptoms. The conversation highlights the addictive and inflammatory nature of sugar, its role in depression and dementia, and its negative effects on brain healing and function. The importance of maintaining healthy relationships with food and substances is emphasized, suggesting that food should "love you back." Finally, we touch on the insights gained from brain scans regarding personality and behavior, introducing a free online test to help people understand their brain types. (0:20:17) - Revolution in Brain Health (7 Minutes) This chapter addresses concerns about the pervasive use of cell phones and the potential health risks associated with electromagnetic frequencies (EMFs) and radiation exposure from devices like microwaves and the emerging 5G technology. The discussion touches on the alarming rise in deaths from drugs, alcohol, and suicide, linking them to broader mental health issues and suggesting a shift from viewing these as mental illnesses to brain illnesses. Highlighting Dr. Amen's work, we explore the impact of weight and physical health on brain function, emphasizing the importance of preventing or treating risk factors like low blood flow and diabesity, as outlined in the "Bright Minds" mnemonic. We also discuss the influence of brainwave frequencies and cognition enhancers, sharing insights on brain-enhancing music's potential to improve mental health and function, reflecting on the transformative power of music in promoting creativity, mood stabilization, and relaxation. (0:26:56) - Optimizing Brain Function Through Lifestyle (9 Minutes) This chapter focuses on the impact of different music genres on brain function and the individual variability in optimal brain rhythms, discussing a personal study comparing rock, country, classical, and heavy metal music on memory. I also explore the genetic and developmental factors influencing whether someone is a morning or night person and emphasize the importance of aligning one's lifestyle with their natural rhythms. We address the growing interest in using substances like MDMA, ketamine, and DMT for mental health treatment, while highlighting concerns over their use and advocating for alternatives such as diet, exercise, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Finally, I share insights on making small, informed choices to improve brain health, encouraging listeners to consider whether their daily actions are beneficial for their brains.

If you love the holidays, then I'm happy for you, but many of us don't. If the holidays make you feel tired, jealous, stressed, and resentful, then you came to the right place.

*** This episode talks about suicide. If you are suicidal, please call/text/chat *988 *** My friend Kyle Dunshee (age 30, married father with new baby, suicide survivor) joins us to share his journey with mental health. Kyle starts with his journey with severe OCD/anxiety which led to a suicide attempt at age 10. Kyle talks about his great parents getting him help—including being institutionalized (helpful experience). Kyle also talks about self-harm and gives insights on why people engage in this behavior and how it is able to put this behind him. Kyle talks a Book of Mormon scripture story that gave him hope and his decision to serve a mission—but the painful/angry experience when he was denied this opportunity. Kyle talks about his pain, anger at the institutional Church, and the deeply spiritual experience in an empty movie theatre watching an R rated movie—a powerful experience where he felt the love of God and a desire to become more active in the Church. Kyle talks about why he decided to resubmit his mission papers and his call to serve in Portland Oregon. Kyle talks about how his mental health is on ongoing part of his life—and why it is (at times) a beautiful struggle. Kyle's story is in his new book called “At the Bottom of Bountiful” (see show notes). I was so impressed with Kyle's courage and vulnerability to share his story. It is a powerful story that helps others walking a similar road with mental health issues and those with difficult church experiences who want to stay in the church. I encourage everyone to listen to Kyle's podcast and read his book so we have more insights to help ourselves and our friends/family working with mental health issues. You are a good man, Kyle. Honored to have you on the podcast.
