Social Media as a Lifeline: Insights from Shawn Teasley On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, with special guest Shawn Teasley. Little bit about Shawn's story from her:  I work at the intersection of marketing and mental health awareness, and one area I'm especially passionate about is the fine line between social media and its impact on our well-being. Boundaries around how we use these platforms are critical, but social media is also one of the most powerful ways to get mental health resources into people's hands. With September being Suicide Awareness Month, I'm especially mindful of how awareness days like Suicide Prevention Day can spark education, support, and meaningful conversations. I believe we can use these platforms not just for connection, but as lifelines to normalize mental health discussions and ensure more people know they're not alone. Short bio: Shawn Teasley is a marketing and social media strategist passionate about digital marketing, storytelling, and social media. As the owner of Social Tonic, she consults, trains, and mentors teams, helping businesses streamline marketing through done-for-you services or in-house training. Dedicated to supporting startups and entrepreneurs, Shawn offers strategic guidance and creative solutions. Inspired by her father's entrepreneurial spirit, she loves helping brands establish their presence and grow with confidence. Her approach makes marketing strategic, sustainable, and low-stress, allowing business owners to focus on what they do best.

Journal prompt: Today's flicker of hope was…This week..."Hope in the Hollow" Now, October. After the volume of Suicide Awareness Month, we drop into the quieter work. This DAILY NUGGET Series is called Hope, Healing, Becoming. It's here to carry us—and embolden us—through a tough stretch of the year. We didn't choose this road, but we can choose how we respond to it.  This month, we practice the response—the inch we can actually take.Here's how the daily rhythm will go. Each episode is 5–7 minutes and touches three beats:Flicker (Hope): what's true right now—a small light you can actually hold.Rebuild (Healing): one concrete practice that steadies your body, heart, or world.Step (Becoming): a gentle move toward who you're becoming, without abandoning who you've been.You'll also get a short journal prompt and a three‑option “choose your energy” menu so you can pick the action that fits today. No gold stars. No toxic positivity. Just honest company and workable steps. Flicker (Hope) — The hollow isn't empty  After the casseroles and check-ins fade, the hollow remains—the space grief carved. Not nothingness. Space. Quiet enough to hear your own breath. Hope belongs here because you're still here. It's not a floodlight; it's a cupped match. Let one warm thing count today. That's enough.Rebuild (Healing) — 90 seconds to lower activation You don't need to be “triggered” to deserve care. When the body spikes, go small:Name & notice (30s): “Right now I feel… [tight chest / foggy / restless].”4-count breath (45s): In 4 • hold 4 • out 6–8. Repeat 5–6 times.One brick (15s): Tiny action—sip water, crack a window, text “I'm here.” Bricks, not blueprints.Step (Becoming) — A micro-act that includes you Becoming isn't betrayal. Carry them—and you. Pick one identity word (listener, maker, advocate, steady, seeker). Do a ≤10-minute act that fits: lay out your journal, message a meetup lead, chop one ingredient, confirm a therapy slot, stand in a patch of sun. Put it on the calendar. Small on purpose; momentum over spectacle.Choose‑your‑energy menu:If you're in the hollow (low capacity): Put both feet on the floor and breathe out longer than you breathe in, five times. That's the whole assignment.If you're in healing mode (medium capacity): Send this text to one safe person: “Could you witness me for five minutes today—no fixing, just ears?”If you're ready to become (higher capacity): Do your ten‑minute identity micro‑act. When you're done, say their name and yours. Both belong.Take a breath. Notice what softened. Keep only what helps. I'll be here again tomorrow. Talk soon.

September is Suicide Awareness Month, and today I am honored to welcome Melani and Lenny Lighter to the podcast. In February 2023, their family was forever changed when their beloved daughter and sister, Lauren, died by suicide. In her memory, and in honor of the millions of lives lost each year, they created LIGHTER, a nonprofit dedicated to raising awareness and providing support for mental health.Currently, they are leading the "Light in the Dark" fundraiser, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Lauren Lighter Fund. This fund directly supports NAMI Chicago, a local mental health organization, as well as the Douglas Mobile Outreach Program, expanding access to resources and care.At its heart, LIGHTER is a candle project designed to bring light and comfort into people's homes while honoring those who have struggled in darkness. Since its launch in August 2023, LIGHTER has raised over $1 million for mental health foundations in both Montreal and Chicago, offering communities not only resources but also awareness, compassion, and hope.This episode serves as a reminder that we are all fighting battles that are unseen. I hope you find strength in Melani and Lenny's story, and if you're able, please consider supporting the Light in the Dark fundraiser with a donation.Episode Resources:Lighter CandlesLight in the Dark FundraiserLink to purchase:FYLPxTracee Badway Merch CollaborationFYLPxWRDSMTH Merch Collaboration*suggestion is to size upDownload this episode of For Your Listening Pleasure wherever you get your podcasts!

September is Suicide Awareness Month, and veterans are at especially high risk as they try to transition back into civilian life while dealing with stress, anxiety, and trauma they may have developed during their time in the service. A Danvers non-profit, Company 2 Heroes, is working with veterans and furry friends to help those vets regain their independence and ease their pain. Founder Kate van Auken talks with Nichole this week about the power of loving dedication that only a dog can provide, and how they're working with veterans to help train their very own support dogs.

Trigger Warning: This episode has a general discussion about suicide.September is World Suicide Awareness Month. This is such an important topic to raise awareness for, because there is STILL a stigma around poor mental wellbeing or mental health.Suicide is one of those topics that many people are scared to talk about, whether you are experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings, or someone is telling you that they are experiencing suicidal thoughts or feelings. The world has thankfully moved on in being able to discuss things like depression or anxiety more openly. However, sadly, there are MANY mental health related topics that are still very much taboo. Suicide is one of them.In talking about it, I hope that fewer people feel alone with these feelings, because it truly can be an experience ANY of us can go through, plus what better way than to put a doggie spin on things!Important Links From This Episode:1.

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why boys are often told to "man up" but to never challenge authority? This episode unpacks the deeply ingrained cultural and gender norms that shape our responses to bullying and mental health. We highlight the importance of fostering self-care and challenging outdated notions of masculinity, especially for men who are often caught in the tough yet submissive paradox. As we mark Suicide Awareness Month, the conversation emphasizes the urgent need to prioritize mental health, drawing particular attention to the context in South Africa.Join us as I share my personal journey from a home where emotions were seldom discussed to becoming a psychiatrist deeply attuned to the impact of family dynamics and personal growth. Through my story, you'll learn how emotional self-awareness transformed my professional and personal life, making me a better therapist and a more empathetic human being. This episode underscores the value of therapy—not just as a place to unpack your burdens but as a unique, unbiased support system crucial for personal development.We dedicate significant time to dismantling harmful stereotypes about masculinity and femininity. True masculinity involves bravery, emotional intelligence, and the strength to be vulnerable. We also discuss the critical need for investment in mental health resources, reflecting on the alarming rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide, especially among youth. This isn't just about changing perceptions but about advocating for systemic changes that can improve lives. Engage with us as we explore the need for cultural sensitivity in therapy, the importance of mental health education, and the power of kindness and empathy in shaping a better world for future generations.Support the show

September is Suicide Awareness Month and Scott Watson talks with Rachael Zimmerman about her book Us, After which addresses families that survive a death by suicide.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Sara Glass about her new memoir, "Kissing Girls on Shabbat." Growing up in an extremely sheltered Orthodox Hassidic Jewish community, Sara decided to become a therapist and mental health professional partially because seeing how her sister Shani's mental health issues impacted her family. When Shani ultimately took her own life, Sara came out of the closet after years of struggling with her sexual identity and eventually wrote a memoir about her path towards self acceptance and an open life. We talk about the different ways that we interalize our own trauma, and how hard it can be to find ways to be honest with the people in our lives about what we are going through. We also talk about the stigma that comes with suicide and mental health issues in general, and how important it is to recognise that we never have to do it alone. As September is Suicide Awareness Month, This episode is a reminder that someone is always listening, and if you need help, reach out to a trusted friend or loved one, or you call 988 for the national suicide prevention line.

The world of filmmaking is full of challenges, from industry rejection to personal setbacks. Yet, for many independent filmmakers, these obstacles become opportunities for growth and perseverance. This episode explores how passion, persistence, and a refusal to give up can turn seemingly insurmountable odds into career-defining moments. Whether you're an aspiring filmmaker or a seasoned professional, the story of how Nadine Crocker made her mark in the industry is sure to inspire. Nadine Crocker is a filmmaker, actor, and mental health advocate whose latest feature, Continue, is based on her own struggles with depression and suicide. The award-winning drama tells the story of a woman who, after a failed suicide attempt, is taken to a mental institution where she finds unexpected friendships, love, and a new purpose. Set for release by Lionsgate during Suicide Awareness Month, the film has already garnered critical acclaim for its raw portrayal of mental health struggles. Nadine not only wrote, directed, and produced Continue, but also stars in it, bringing an intensely personal narrative to life. After years of being typecast and facing rejection, she took control of her career, creating projects that speak to her truth, including Desperation Road, her second Lionsgate release. In today's episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins speaks with Nadine Crocker to discuss: Being dropped by her reps shortly after having her first baby—and how it led her to make Continue independently. Breaking free from being typecast and proving herself as a writer, director, and producer. Balancing waitressing and raising a newborn while working on her first feature film. Securing financing through personal savings and a small group of supportive investors. Deciding to stop waiting for permission and create her own opportunities. How Continue became a movement for mental health awareness through her nonprofit, Continue On. Memorable Quotes: “I did hear like all the time, I was too pretty to pay the best friend and I wasn't famous enough to be the lead.” [6:01] “I'm done asking for permission. I'm making this movie and I don't care what I have to do or how much work or how many years it takes.” [9:16] “I invested my life savings into this movie, like every time we had, and went back to waitressing so that I could keep the lights on.” [11:30] "Imagine being dropped in the middle of the ocean with nothing but a hard drive, and you gotta keep it over your head and tread motherfucking water until someone comes."

Welcome to “The Chronicles of a Black Sheep,” a podcast dedicated to raising awareness and fostering understanding about mental health. In this special episode, we delve into two critical topics: Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) and Suicide Awareness Month.

Suicide? Ugh - no, we don't want to talk (or write) about that... but it is Suicide Awareness Month, and many have or will lose loved ones in their lifetime.  According to the CDC, suicide is  in the top 9 leading causes of death for people between the ages of 10 to 64.  It is the second cause of death for those between 10-14 and 20-34. Ugh!!Having two children under the age of ten with suicide losses on both sides of our family (which raises statistical odds), we are very cautious about how and when and why we talk about this. They know how our relatives died, but they do not know details. We meet them where they are in their questions and understanding, and are very solution focused when it comes to mental hygiene and what works and what doesn't.Here is my list of things that help, which I share with my husband, George, on the show, (along with a few things I forgot to say):- Get Outside- Get Some Sun- Go For a Walk- Change Your Temperature (hot/cold therapy)- Animal Therapy- Cuddles and Kisses (6 seconds to release seratonin - no quickies!)- Eating healthy foods- Eating healthy amounts- Eating at appropriate times- Exercise!!- Prayer- Meditation- Journaling- Reading Books that Improve Your Outlook- Therapy- Taking Prescription Medication as Prescribed by a doctor- Vitamins- Naps- A good sleep at night (we are diurnal!)- Spending more time with Great Influences- Sharing with a friendA few things that we joke about, but really don't necessarily help include "not getting out of bed all day" (unless those are doctor's orders - and even then, the goal is to get out of bed again!!); not exercising; overeating junk food; self medicating with drugs or alcohol as you wish; doomscrolling; watching or spending time with negative or horrific TV shows or influencers, and just generally not taking care of yourself.The focus for mental health is "Good Orderly Direction." Try out any one of the things listed above - sometimes just sweepoing is good enough for today. If you are struggling, or know someone who is, remember you do not have to do this alone. Please reach out. The suicide hotline is 988, and you can find my contact below.Remember, "Joy shared is double joy and sorrow shared is half sorrow." Reach out and touch someone! You are NOT alone.PS - EDIT on the pastor story, I said "Florida," but it actually was North Carolina. The point of it is that terrible things can and will continue to happen in this world - we cannot control that, but we can control our response. We are praying for all those affected by this horrific event that is still unfolding, especially close friends and families. Our deepest condolences. Support the Show.Connect with me in the following ways:catcaldwellmyers@gmail.comwww.catcaldwellmyers.com@catcaldwellmyers@adventureparadoxThe Adventure Paradox Podcast Page (Fb)
