Jearlyn spends some time discussing Cyber Monday deals, Hallmark movies, and the importance of kindness during the holiday season. Sue Aberholden of NAMI MN gives us some ideas of how to help yourself and others suffering from depression during the holiday season.

In the first part of this week's show, Jearlyn talks about new ways to go to church and her memories of September 11th, 2001. In light of last month's apparent suicide at Eden Prairie Center, Sue Abderholden of NAMI MN talks about the prevalence of guns in suicides and other mental health crises.

Understanding the Power of Words, Thoughts, and Selfbeliefs (Adam Moen) We are halfway through September, and continue to contribute to suicide awareness. Over the past two weeks, we’ve had incredible guests and today’s episode is no exception. We discussed suicide with Adam Moen in an interview where he shares his personal experience with suicidal thoughts. Adam is a healthcare consultant during the day and a mental health advocate on nights and weekends. He has various speaking engagements in the Minneapolis, MN area, speaks to high school students and faculty, church parishioners and other groups, and also leads a peer support group through NAMI MN. He is also the founder of Avalo, a new app that allows people to share their feelings and thoughts anonymously, and ease the process of finding professional help. In this episode, we’ll learn how the things that we tell ourselves can model our thoughts and behavior and how important this is to overcome mental illness. I hope you enjoy this episode and share it with other people. Remember that you can join our private Facebook group, Hope to Recharge, and share your comments with us.

Show #194 | Guest: Dawn Mikkelson | Show Summary: Emmy-winning journalist and documentarian Dawn Mikkelson brings us her moving, passionate new film, Risking Light. Risking Light profiles three people overcoming damaging pasts: Mary Johnson of Minneapolis, grieving a murdered son; Debra Hocking, a victim of government-sanctioned genocide in Australia; and Kilong Ung, who survived the terror of the Khmer Rouge, in the killing fields of Cambodia. The film explores resilience, and the painful process of moving from grief to compassion and forgiveness. Her earlier films reflect the same passion for humanity and social justice: The Red Tail, Green Green Water, THIS obedience, and Treading Water. A former television news reporter at an ABC affiliate, Mikkelson often speaks and writes on issues around documentary filmmaking and social justice for Minnesota Public Radio and at festival panels, colleges, and universities. Mikkelson has taught Documentary Film as Adjunct Faculty at Ottawa University in Kansas, as well as at IFP Minnesota. In 2006 Mikkelson’s film, Hope for Recovery: Understanding Mental Illness (produced in collaboration with Twin Cities Public Television and NAMI-MN) won the Eric Sevareid Award by the Northwest Broadcast News Association.

Panic attacks, agoraphobia, anxiety and depression had brought Sam to a very dark place a few years ago and he decided he needed help. Bit by bit he began to see how his childhood and negative self-beliefs had to be re-examined. A new clarity on the dysfunction in his family (a disinterested workaholic dad and a controlling, angry mother) gave him the hope to began protecting himself from the pain of having them in his life. A great episode on self-care, cutting contact with parents, re-parenting ourselves and the importance of humor and pursuing our dreams and being our authentic selves even if it means disappointing others.

I survived the 1974 Xenia (F5) Tornado! My grandparents had 12 kids, and later raised me as my legal guardians. My mother Josephine battled severe BiPolar Disorder along w/other Mental Health Challenges! My Grandma Vivian was a musical prodigy! She could play piano + organ by ear! Got my love of music from her! My Grandpa James, was the 1st Black City Commissioner of Xenia, OH, and the 1st Black Mayor! My activism + humor come from him! After graduating college in 1993, I moved to MN to each elementary school. Lasted approx 7 months before my 1st severe depressive episode ended teaching career. My main work experience has been in the customer service industry, including almost 13 years as a part-time professional mobile Disc Jockey! As of 2015, I have not worked for 2 years. This is due to many of my pre-existing conditions, including Major Depression, Anxiety, Borderline Personality Disorder + recently diagnosed Attention Deficit Disorder. I'm in the midst of battling for Social Security Disability...again! Volunteered w/NAMI-MN since 2008, when I took part in my first NAMIWalks-MN! I became an "In Our Own Voice" speaker in 2014. I've done many IOOV presentations for Crisis Intervention Training, and I like working with law enforcement! Also, I'm like the unofficial amateur photographer for NAMI-MN! Love photography (massive "shutterbug"), crafts + scrapbooking, music, movies, cats, etc. Also, after I had to put my 19yr old cat to sleep on 10/10/10, I became a foster cat mom. This is how I came to adopt my amazing furbaby cat MacTavish! Unfortunately, I had to have him euthanized in November 2016. Fortunately, I do have a new cat named Precious,who is 12 years old! Love her, and no cat will ever be able to take the place of MacTavish. Finally, I've been a diehard JOURNEY fan for approximately 34 years! Have seen them in concert approximately 17x! Even flew to California in 2005, to see them receive their Hollywook Walk of Fame Star! Have had the blessings + miracles of meeting all of classic Journey (Neal Schon, Steve Perry, Steve Smith, Ross Valory + Jonathan Cain), and also Steve Augeri, Deen Castronovo, Jeff Scott Soto, and Arnel Pineda! I do believe these Journey blessings/miracles help counterbalance (a bit) my continued battles w/Mental Health Challenges! IF I won the lottery, I would become a permanent Journey concert goer, as their music brings that much joy + happiness into my life! Don't Stop Believin'! 1.

She is a documentary film maker and her most recent film, Risking Light, focuses on the topic of forgiveness. And not your ordinary, "you ate the last of the cheese" type of forgiveness. We are talking about, "you murdered my son," level forgiveness. During the podcast we talk about Dawn's journey through the film's production and working with Jay. We talk about forgiveness and the power it contains. There are so many great takeaways from this one!
