Skating Across America for Sobriety and Purpose In this week's Team Never Quit episode, Marcus and Melanie are joined by the incredible Chad Caruso — a skateboarder, YouTuber, and Guinness World Record holder who skated 3,000 miles across America in just 57 days, from Venice Beach, CA to Virginia Beach, VA. Chad didn't just break records — he used this cross-country journey to raise money for Natural High, a nonprofit youth drug prevention program, and to share his powerful story of overcoming addiction and injury. Skateboarding became more than a passion — it became a lifeline, helping Chad find sobriety, resilience, and purpose. In this episode Chad shares about: •His record-setting skate across the U.S. •What pushed him to keep going — physically, mentally, and emotionally •How skateboarding saved his life •His work raising awareness for addiction and mental health •The creation of his book, “Pushing Through America” •What's next in his mission to inspire and uplift others Chad's journey is one of grit, growth, and giving back. Whether you're a skater, in recovery, or just need a push to chase your own goals — this episode is for you. Follow Chad on Instagram: @chad_caruso Check out his book: Pushing Through America In This Episode You Will Hear: • I've been skateboarding for a little over 25 years. That's really all I've devoted my life to. (3:19) • I definitely recommend finishing school. (5:36) • It doesn't happen overnight. You go to a party here, a party there. Then you're 26, 28. The habit thing. I didn't want to be a part of the system. I was just all about rebelling. (7:40) • That was the real turning point [when facing jail time] I had to look around and say “Alright, what are you doin?” (10:02) • [I got into the Guinness Book of World Records] It was this year. (13:30) • It's nice to get the pat on the back, but ultimately, it was about much more than that. It was about giving up the drinking, focusing on something positive. I did the Skate Across America to raise money for charity. (13:40) • When you're at the start line it's all fun. Everyone's there filming, talking, it's exciting. Then you push off, and then a couple of miles in, you're like “Oh, I'm gonna be doing this for the next 2 months. (18:32) • [I completed the entire distance with] 1 board; I didn't change the wheels or the bearings, or anything. (23:56) • Even if it's way slower than you normally go, if you keep treading that ground, you're gonna make it there. (28:55) • I figured out that if I skate head-on to trucks, like tractor trailers; they're coming at me at 70 mph. If I made myself seen, I could take over the whole lane. So, I would basically play chicken with them, and wave them out of the way. (30:14) • [At the finish] The mayor put his hand up for a high five. I skated right past him, I didn't even notice. (35:23) • “If you keep pushing, you're gonna get there.” (36:17) • When you're out there alone for so many hours, all the noise of society and people's opinions kinda fades away. (36:26) • When you're left to yourself, you realize how simple life is. (36:35) • Quitting drinking and focusing on my hobby turned my life around. (41:34) • Whatever you're most interested in or gets you excited – just pursue that. (41:52) • If I can help to make this life a little bit better, that's a win.

She unveils the significance of somatic healing, inner child work, and kinesiology in unraveling the layers of unresolved trauma.

As we explore the intricacies of trauma, Melissa demonstrates how healing can be a lifelong journey, guiding individuals to rediscover their potential, reshape relationships, and reclaim the joy of living fully in the present moment.Key Takeaways:Generational Trauma Awareness: we will delve into the importance of recognizing generational trauma and offers insights on the healing process (through the speaker's personal experience)Reclaiming Childhood: a reminder that it's never too late to reclaim a meaningful childhoodFree Trauma-Informed Courses: introduces practical steps to access valuable, free courses from an online training center.Contacts:FacebookWebsite...Book a consultation with Dr. Tomi MitchellClick HERE to schedule a free 30-minute consultation if you'd like support to take the right step towards the great life you deserve.⭐Thank you for listening to our podcast!

Melissa was raised in a home where both her mother and father had endured deeply traumatic experiences. As her parents went through a divorce and a stepmother came on the scene, the trauma intensified. Amidst the chaos, nobody noticed that Melissa was getting deeper into a group of kids who were engaging in drug use. Over time, drugs became a surrogate for the love she wasn't receiving. Melissa went on to create a successful life, but beneath the expensive lifestyle, Melissa felt profoundly lost. When Melissa finally reached out for help she uncovered her true passion...helping others. Remarkably, Melissa went on to establish The Center For Healing and a unique healing modality called Root Cause Therapy. Melissa has now guided many individuals on their journey to healing from trauma. You can find out more about Root-Cause Therapy and other trainings offered worldwide, including her FREE courses at https://www.thecentreforhealing.com/free-coursesMelissa is the Co-Founder of The Centre for Healing and author of the book The Natural High, created out of her own struggles and search for better solutions when it came to addictions and mental health. Since then, together with her partner, she has opened an outpatient clinic offering alternative solutions to addictions and mental health, with a focus on healing developmental trauma. Melissa is a mum to 5 year old Tommy and a fur baby Skye and lives in Melbourne, Australia.HEAL BLOG: 7 Tips To Have A Deeper Connection With Your PartnerPlease follow me at www.instagram.com/mybigloveproject If you have a story to share for this podcast send an email to ⁠⁠bigloveproject@iinet.net.au⁠⁠ I would LOVE! to connect with you.

Let's get ready to fly! Today we travel to Hagerstown, MD to test our bounce endurance at Sky Zone Trampoline Park.  We're joined by a man with far more trampoline experience than expected - comedian, podcaster, retired wrestler, and Jason's commentary partner at the World Domination Wrestling Alliance, TRAVIS DuFOUR! Travis talks about his time backyard wrestling on the trampoline and how it prepared him for this very moment. We get into his transition from Wrestling to Stand Up Comedy, how he has addressed a family history of alcoholism, and how his father's struggles both taught & inspired him. We bond over Disney Deaths as first memories, get caught in the quicksand like Foam Zone, and learn that trampolines are... a lot. Is Sky Zone something you have to do before you die?

Lived Experience Education with Mindset By Dave Untapped Keg Ep 146The conversation of mental health has never been more full of misinformation and outdated methods. That's why it's important to find people who approach the subject with an understanding that there is no one right way and that there is an ever evolving way of looking at life. I am excited to finally have Dave Cottrell, aka MindsetByDave, on the podcast. We talk about how our lived experience helps us to relate mental health struggles with people, why there's no such thing as Positive Vibes Only, and how metaphors are our go to tricks!

Well, I recently went on a trip to Brazil, one that I have been promising a good friend I would take, to visit him for 18 years. Every year I would tell him, “Next year I'm coming to see you for sure!” Well this year I didn't tell him that, until I booked the flights, and that I'm coming to see you in a month, be ready! While I was there I learned some lessons, or more specifically, had the chance to implement some of the tools I've learned these past few years.

Your brain has a mind of its own and has one primary goal: to feel good. Did you know that your brain will control you subconsciously to do anything at all costs to avoid pain or displeasure? Your brain wants to feel happy, and happy feelings come from certain chemicals produced inside. Maybe you've heard of some of them: dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin. Those chemicals get automatically triggered when you do something enjoyable. Other chemicals get automatically triggered when you do something…unenjoyable. Or painful. Or uncomfortable. Cortisol is what's known as a stress chemical, and your brain produces it to send a signal to the rest of your body that danger is close, so be on high alert- ready for a fight, or to run away, or to hide. It's a really useful chemical. But it doesn't feel good. And too much of it will make you feel worse and worse. Researchers have discovered that people feel physically and emotionally miserable when they experience those things. Even the IDEA of doing something unenjoyable triggers those unhappy chemicals. For example, the experience of being rejected by a friend is one of the most painful experiences anyone can have. Your brain is so keen on avoiding rejection that it can imagine scenarios and situations that might lead to feeling that awful feeling. It will anticipate people's reactions to things like your hair, your clothes, and the things you say, and before you even get around someone else, the chemical is already pumping. Remember, your brain wants to feel good and avoid feeling bad, but your brain can't do both at the same time—it has to prioritize one over the other. So, avoiding pain typically wins. Unfortunately, feeling good from the good chemicals gets turned off unless you become more aware of what's happening in your brain and become intentional. Here's where we get to the good news: Scientists have discovered that you can actually hack your brain system to be happier and healthier. You can choose to do certain activities to trigger happy chemicals to start flowing intentionally. We like to call them Natural Highs. A Natural High is an automatic response your brain has when you intentionally do something that you find enjoyable. Things like: Reading a good book Dancing to your favorite song Hanging out with your best friend Playing with your dog Practicing your guitar Riding your skateboard Telling a joke Creating a new video Baking chocolate chip cookies Bring a gift to a friend Going for a run Ironically, artificial substances can make you feel good, too. Certain substances like alcohol and drugs will flip a switch to turn off the bad chemicals and turn on the good. Unfortunately, they don't work for very long. On the one hand, the high doesn't last long. It expires. The uncomfortable feelings return. On the other hand, your brain gets tricked into believing it needs those substances to avoid feeling bad and feel good…all the time. Then, when the high stops making you feel good, most people feel…worse. Guilty. Remorseful. Maybe even rejected by their friends and family they love. Those are awful, miserable feelings, and since your brain has developed a pattern, it starts to believe that the only way to feel good again is…yep—more substances. It eventually reshapes how your brain functions and cuts off some of the critical developments your brain needs later in life, really important things like how to learn, make good decisions, stay motivated towards important goals, and connect with people you love. Back to the good news: you're in charge of how you feel more than you probably realize. By choosing to do something you enjoy, you feel more…joy. The more often and consistently you choose to do enjoyable activities, the more your brain will crave more…enjoyable activities. So here's the question: What brings you joy? What are your Natural Highs?

Her social impact initiative, “Prescription for Change: Addiction Prevention, Treatment and Recovery” was crafted from the responsibility she felt to reverse the addiction crisis after growing up in a family with substance use. As Miss Florida 2022 she will continue her partnership and employment with Advanced Recovery Systems, a leader in behavioral healthcare, which allows her the opportunity to repair lives, restore families and revive communities. Through her advocacy, she has saved over 315 lives and impacted over 975 lives. She recently became a nationally Certified Event Interventionist (CEI) and serves as an ambassador for two substance abuse prevention programs, Natural High and Real Talk.Social Media Handle: Instagram: @missamericaflMemorable Moments: 3:08  I grew up in a family with substance use. And it was something that was really associated with the dark parts of my life. So I really never saw it becoming a career because it was something that I always looked at and frowned upon...something that my family always swept under the rug and tried to keep hush hush. And as we grew and progressed through this journey, we realized that that was the worst possible thing that we could have done. And what we needed to do was reach out and get the resources that were needed in order to get my loved one healthy, and back on track and recovery.7:00  I remember the first time that I saw a real talk presentation, I was in college, and I will be the first to admit, I was naive about what was going on in the world related to drugs and alcohol. I didn't know all the science and the facts. And I'm glad that this program laid it out straight, because it's something that students need to hear. Because there are a lot of people like me that don't necessarily know what happens if you choose to experiment. 14:52 I think that that will forever be a part of my story, the fact that I persevered through something that could have been where I easily decided to just give up, bow out. But instead, we decided to go full force and go down kicking and screaming in the process. 19:36 My dad is my biggest supporter and always gives me his full okay to bring these stories to the stage and to bring them out to the public and I could not be more thankful for that because I know that our story is similar to a lot of other individuals that could really benefit from hearing this.20:05 What matters most to me at this point is that I have been handed this incredible opportunity. So what matters most is making the most out of that opportunity and making a difference.Dear Mind, You Matter is brought to you by NOBU, a new mental health, and wellness app. To download NOBU, visit the app store or Google Play. This podcast is hosted by Allison Walsh and Angela Phillips.
