For Aaron Walsh and James Pursell, the work of LEAN-STL is personal. As peer support specialists, they work to break down the stigma of talking about addiction and mental health — often sharing their own experience with addiction, recovery and healing in the process. In the two and a half years since LEAN-STL was founded, the pair has connected hundreds of St. Louis laborers and their families with resources. It's a model they believe will lower the high rates of substance use and suicide among construction workers — one they hope to see employed by more trade associations moving forward.

Ever feel like you're playing a character just to get through the workday? Or maybe you're navigating job interviews, wondering why eye contact feels like a cosmic challenge? Yep, we get it. We've been there too, and so has our incredible guest this week!Caitlin is here with Diedra Steward, a fantastic Workplace Self-Advocacy Coach and the brains behind Stigma on the Clock. Diedra's all about helping neurodivergent or chronically ill folks ditch the workplace overwhelm, understand their rights, and actually get the accommodations they need.Inspired by a question from one of our listeners, we're diving deep into what it's really like for neurodivergent pros trying to thrive in a neurotypical world. We get honest about the masking tax and how job interviews can feel like social obstacle courses. We unpack how to spot red and green flags in job postings, when and how to disclose a disability, and why you should absolutely ask for accommodations in the interview process (yes, you can—and Deidre tells you how)."So we're kind of trying to operate on like the thesis of we shouldn't have to mask to be successful. And then obviously that's a beautiful, wonderful utopian society where everybody's differences are valued... But we live in capitalism world, which sometimes does require us to hide parts of ourselves." - CaitlinYou'll totally learn:Understanding and navigating workplace rights and asking for accommodations.The real tension between wanting to unmask and the messy reality of capitalismAwesome strategies for finding your perfect work environmentDeidre's brilliant spreadsheet for documenting accommodations (and why you'll want it)How to spot the glaring red flags in company culture (like when they say "we're like a family here"—omg, run!).The glorious green flags that mean a company really cares, like actually offering mental health days in their benefits.

In this heartfelt and candid conversation, we're joined by Tanya Kelly—a resilient cancer survivor and ostomy advocate—as well as her husband, Robert Kelly, who has been her steadfast caregiver throughout an intense journey of illness, surgery, and recovery. Alongside them is Dushon Johnson, Executive Director of "At the Table," an organization supporting the health and wellness of women and girls, particularly those facing cancer. Together, we explore the emotional weight carried by male caregivers, the often-hidden struggles men face when supporting loved ones through health crises, and the critical importance of open communication, self-care, and support systems. Robert shares his personal experiences balancing caregiving for both his wife and his mother, how he leans on his close-knit group of friends, and why it's vital for men to acknowledge their feelings and seek help without shame. Tanya opens up about her own battle with depression, finding a sense of community, and the invaluable role her husband's support played in her recovery. If you or someone you care about is dealing with illness, caregiving, or mental health challenges, this episode offers real-world insights, strength, and reminders that you are not alone. Plus, we highlight practical local resources, the power of advocacy, and an upcoming celebration honoring women cancer survivors in Central Ohio.

Resources:American Migraine FoundationAmerican Migraine Foundation: Why Don't We Use the Terms "migraines," "migraine headaches" and "migraineur"?Canadian Headache Society In this episode of The Positive Pause®, host Claire Gill speaks with Claire Sandoe, MD, MSc, neurologist, educator, and American Migraine Foundation board member, for a discussion about migraine's impact on women, especially during key hormonal transitions like menopause. Dr. Sandoe shares clinical insights, recent research, and practical advice to empower women to seek help and break the stigma around migraine.Dr. Sandoe is an Assistant Professor of Medicine (Neurology) at the University of Toronto and a headache neurologist at the Women's College Hospital Centre for Headache, where she directs the City-Wide Headache Medicine Fellowship. She serves on the boards of the Canadian Headache Society and the American Migraine Foundation, the Education Committees of the International Headache Society and the American Headache Society and is co-chair of the Canadian Headache Society National Neurology Resident Headache Course as well as the American Headache Society's Mastering Migraine Therapies program.Key Points Covered:Migraine is a brain disorder, not just a headache - Migraine can include a range of symptoms like nausea, light sensitivity, brain fog, and more, even between attacks.Hormones play a major role in migraine - Estrogen fluctuations during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause significantly affect migraine patterns in women.One in seven people globally are affected - Migraine is common, especially among women (1 in 4) but still underdiagnosed and often misunderstood.Migraine attacks vs. migraine - Dr. Sandoe explains why language matters and how "migraine attack" better reflects the episodic yet serious nature of the disorder.Migraine and menopause - Perimenopause can worsen migraine symptoms. While some women improve post-menopause, others do not, and early treatment is key.Treatment options are diverse and evolving - From lifestyle changes and supplements (like magnesium) to cutting-edge medications (like CGRP blockers) and neuromodulation devices, a range of tools are available.Trial and error are part of treatment but shouldn't mean suffering in silence - The right treatment often requires experimentation. Women should feel empowered to explore options without guilt or stigma.Stigma still exists - Migraine is often dismissed as “just a headache” or associated with outdated stereotypes of “hysterical women.” Raising awareness is vital.Migraine can worsen over time if left untreated - Dr. Sandoe compares it to a path in the brain, if traveled too often, it becomes a highway. Early treatment can prevent chronic, worsening symptoms.Resources are available - The American Migraine Foundation offers patient-friendly, clinician-verified resources on migraine, women's health, and more.Connect with the American Migraine Foundation (AMF):Website: https://americanmigrainefoundation.org Facebook: @AmericanMigraineFoundation -- https://www.facebook.com/americanmigrainefoundation &

Stigma, shame and social norms around menstruation can prevent women and girls managing their periods with dignity and hygiene in low-income settings. So how can we provide information, influence those norms, and change behaviour to improve women's health and well-being? Silvia Castro of LMU Munich and Kristina Czura of University of Groningen have conducted extensive field research in Bangladesh and other countries.  They tell Tim Phillips how we can reduce the stigma and taboo around menstruation and give women and girls the information they need at home, at school, and at work.  Read about Silvia's work on VoxDev: https://voxdev.org/topic/health/breaking-silence-advancing-health-technology-adoption-through-open-discourse

We're all well-aware of the stigma associated with men's mental health. Men are often told overtly or covertly to be just be quiet, do your job, and get your work done. And, while there is certainly some validity to us getting the job done when people are relying on us, it's also valid to consider the mental and emotional battles we often fight as men. Today, I am joined by retired Green Beret, Nick O'Kelly to talk about his time in service the mental and emotional anguish he faced, and what he's done to overcome the challenges of anxiety, depression, and even suicidal ideation. We talk about how a man begins to confront these issues, finding the balance between bearing down and getting the help we need, how to find teams and avenues of support without feeling weak, and how to confront the stigma (even though we all deal with it) of men's mental health SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - Men's Mental Health Stigma 01:05 - Balancing Pride and Duty 03:12 - Debating Vulnerability 04:27 - Military Career Transitions 06:36 - Family Dynamics and Decisions 09:22 - Managing Career Expectations 11:36 - Spousal Support and Sacrifice 14:36 - Masculine and Feminine Dynamics 18:37 - Expectation Management Challenges 21:23 - Trust in Relationships 25:16 - Decision-Making Struggles 28:26 - Imposter Syndrome in Financial Planning 31:58 - Onset of Mental Health Struggles 37:55 - Consequences of Seeking Help 43:29 - Personal Anxiety Experience 47:32 - Spiritual and Physiological Factors 52:29 - High Achievers and Mental Health 54:16 - Connecting with Nick's Work Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Send us a textThis week's newsmaker, Dutch Liver Patients Association President Jose Willemse, joins Roger Green to discuss the patient screening program at this year's EASL Congress, which took place in Amsterdam, and the general idea of what constitutes a patient-sensitive dialogue. Jose describes the phenomenal level of interest in the screening activity, in which hepatologists and APPs scanned 400 people per day for MASLD and MASH. Boosted by significant mass publicity in Amsterdam, the number of people seeking screening exceeded the 400/day quota, with some arriving in line hours before the scheduled start time and others traveling for hours to reach the site. Jose believes that with adequate publicity, efforts like these could be replicated around the world, but that the healthcare system lacks the necessary resources to do so. In terms of physician-patient dialogues, Jose emphasized the importance of sensitive yet frank conversations and helping patients appreciate the successes they are achieving.

Addiction is not a new problem in the workplace. In fact, about 70% of folks that are using illicit drugs are employed in the workplace, either full-time or part-time.

How do we then bridge that gap and break the silence so people get the help they need, and for total recovery to take place?On today's episode, Duane speaks with Cheryl Brown-Merriwether, HR professional and recovery support professional, about the innovations in the workplace as well as addiction and recovery from a workplace perspective and a human relations perspective. Cheryl holds a number of certifications with several years of experience working with clinical professionals in addiction and recovery support services.

The 2012 FDA approval of PrEP as a tool for HIV prevention gave HIV-negative queers anxiety-free access to the sexual freedoms of the 1970s. But writer Daniel Sanchez Torres says PrEP didn’t exactly make things easier for HIV positive folks who still face stigma, rejection, and fetishization from HIV negative folks. In this episode Chris, Gabe and Daniel discuss the varied impacts of PrEP and U=U on their sex and cruising experiences.

Send us a text Health and weight are two completely separate things that we've been taught to view as synonymous. While society insists that being fat is inherently unhealthy, the evidence tells a different story. In this episode, I break down why genetics, not lifestyle choices, primarily determine our weight, how weight stigma actually causes poor health outcomes, and why fat people often have better medical outcomes than thin people. I challenge the fundamental assumption that body size equals health status and explain why perpetuating this myth isn't just wrong—it's literally killing people. Got a question for the next podcast?

CW: Addiction & BullyingBestselling author and broadcaster Matt Cain opens up about discovering autism and ADHD at 50 after decades of feeling "othered" as a gay man.In this chat with Ben, Matt unpacks how his autism and ADHD were long blurred with queer expression, explains how ADHD fuels his creative work but also complicates his relationship with alcohol, and emphasises why "coming out" as proudly neurodivergent- just as he has as a gay man- is so vital._________________On "The Hidden 20%," host Ben Branson chats with neurodivergent [ADHD, Autism, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette's etc.] creatives, entrepreneurs, and experts to see how great minds.. think differently.Host: Ben BransonHead of Production: Bella NealeAssistant Producer: Phoebe De LeiburnéVideo Editor: James ScrivenSocial Media Manager: Charlie YoungMusic: Jackson GreenbergBrought to you by charity The Hidden 20% #1203348__________________Follow & subscribe…Website: www.hidden20.orgInstagram / TikTok / Youtube / X: @Hidden20podcastBen Branson @seedlip_benMatt Cain @mattcainwriterIf you'd like to support The Hidden 20%, you can buy a "green dot" badge at https://www.hidden20.org/thegreendot/p/badge.

The tools are there. The support is available. But many officers still don't reach out. In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton explore why so many first responders are afraid to use their Employee Assistance Program (EAP)—and how to shift the culture of silence around seeking help (Amazon Affiliate).

THE BOOK: Is done. Yes you can still get in on The Kickstarter (but not the name/sentence levels). Also a Kindle Edition is now live. MGoBlog.com/25 Lineup: Sam, Seth, Craig, and Miz. Brian's still on dad duty; Ira's on a plane. Things Discussed: Wink Martindale criticism: The Emotional Rollercoaster sweatshirt from Sack the Stigma is great but Wink is cutting off the sleeves, which are the best part. Wink Martindale praise: His defensive approach changed to be much more college late in the season. Can't be in his head but we think he was having guys make reads that they were missing (examples: Zeke Berry nickel blitz from nowhere on the USC TD, or Barham leaving an RB wide open in the flat) and trying to play attention games with Mason Graham (see: the 3rd down sets). That's how the game is played in the NFL but in college it's much more straightforward. This is praise because he realized what was happening and changed what he was doing, which is extremely hard for people to do. Everybody was coming from success, so they had to get comfortable with each other. Was a big thing for the player as well. Will Johnson noted some of these players need the A and B explained before you tell them to do C. Rod Moore: Expect him to play, not sure how rusty he's going to be and what's the timeline. We'll hear from Rod when Sam interviews him. Mikey Keene vs Bryce Underwood: VERY different offensive planning. Kinds of passes are different, how you use his legs is different, how much pre-snap reading you're doing is different. Having Keene out in spring gave the offense clarity. Chip Lindsey offense: He uses RPOs and running QBs but he cuts back on the running and focuses on making the QBs more efficient. He also will turn regular routes into long bombs—they missed one to Channing Goodwin in the spring but it was open. RPOs and screens? Well you have to show you can beat man coverage to access those, and that means dropping back with a QB who can be safe in the pocket long enough to find his leverage and deliver an accurate pass all over the field to receives who create their own space. Do we have that QB, those WRs, that OL? OL: Sam's discussion with Sherrone started with Blake Frazier (because Sam asked) but he also said Andrew Babalola and Ty Haywood are more athletically talented than ANY guy they've had at Michigan until now. Link is battling with Frazier and Babalola for LT. Crippen: Not sure how much better he can get because his reads are spot-on, but versus top-of-the-line DTs who knew what's coming Crippen got physically manhandled. He's alright, but you need something on this offense that is better than alright if you want to take the pressure off of Bryce/his protection/his receivers. That said, centers pop late—how many times have we seen an Anderson or Bihl or Kugler or Vastardis have a great 5th year. WRs: Are probably a lot better than their stats last year (fewest WR yards since 1973, would have been bottom-third among Bo teams.) But there could be a player or three in there—they didn't have the passing. Warren didn't know what he was looking at half the time and wasn't accurate. Orji had no downfield accuracy at all. Defense knew it. Link vs Ohio State/Alabama? Did well, but the context was Michigan took dropbacks out of the offense.
