Acclaimed author and artist Morgan Harper Nichols (All Along You Were Blooming) joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss: kindness through artistic spaces, the thoughtfulness of kindness, the kindness of memes and much more. Morgan Harper Nichols is an artist, writer, and creator based in Georgia. Diagnosed with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder, Morgan's work often explores themes of embracing life's narrative and creating room to breathe. She began creating art and poetry in response to social media messages she received in 2017, and since then, her practice has expanded to include digital art, collage, coding, and 3D environments. Morgan is the creator of the app Storyteller and the online shop Garden24. Her WSJ bestselling book, All Along You Were Blooming, is one of several published works, and she currently serves as Vice President on the board of TWLOHA, a mental health organization. Morgan is passionate about the intersection of art, storytelling, and health, and her long-term goal is to teach and develop resources that explore how we create and interact with narratives in our lives.

Meet Duyen, Kathryn and Alyssa. These three brilliant experts are flexing what Gen Z is bringing to their organizations in the best way. Gen Z is rising to become the most heartwired, active generation the world's ever seen. And they know how to get loud, mobilize, and get active in their communities around causes that align with their values. Nonprofits stand to gain immensely from the value Gen Z brings to the table: digital-first mindset, passion for social impact and purpose-driven initiatives, interactive engagement style, expertise in creating and consuming short-form content, and their unwavering commitment to authenticity

The truth is that we lose someone to suicide every 45 seconds. It impacts every community on the planet. Suicide isn't a bad word. We can and should talk about it because talking about it is how we quell stigma and silence the shame that has latched on to it for ages. Suicide has impacted and will impact so many. There are those we've lost to suicide, there are those who are thinking about suicide, there are those who attempt and survive, there are those who are grieving because of suicide, and there are those who are worried about someone they love considering it. We believe we all have a role to play in working to prevent these tragedies.    One piece of the puzzle that is suicide prevention is giving space for those who have been directly impacted by this epidemic, and that includes people who have lost those they love to suicide. Within the grief of losing someone, there are waves of guilt and waves of shame. Those continuing on in the aftermath are left with questions and often little to no answers. They might wonder why, they might ask what they could have done differently, and they might think it's wrong for them to smile or laugh or hope ever again.    There is a common thread between the two individuals joining us on today's episode. They have both lost sisters to suicide and they are both wanting and willing to exist in this awkward and vulnerable space for the sake of healing and hope and help. While they go about it in different ways, their goals are similar. Our two guests are none other than Billy Dwyer and Austin Andrew, and we are eager to introduce you to them.   Billy Dwyer (he/him) is a Licensed Social Worker who works as a Legislative Assistant for his personal Member of Congress in Washington, D.C. As a suicide loss survivor, he is passionate about sharing his sister's story and advocating for headache disorders. Billy is a proud TWLOHA intern alum and has helped represent the organization at events across the US. Beyond professional work, Billy enjoys being outside, drinking coffee, cooking, and lounging by the nearest body of water.   Austin Andrew (he/him) has studied outdoor adventure leadership and when he is not guiding, he can typically be found (or rather not found) outside riding his bike or climbing some mountain. Austin is the founder of a non-profit called We Shall Continue with Style, and is an ambassador for Kona Bikes and the Maxx G Foundation. Austin shares his story of living with grief after loss and works to support others through their own grief. At the present moment, he is cycling through the Americas on a bike.   Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at:   twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

Whether it's our own perceptions or what the media has designated, when it comes to fashion and clothing choices, we make quick assumptions based on what someone is wearing. All black? You must be emotional or depressed or troubled. Bright and light? You must be carefree and happy. We see people's mental well-being placed into boxes based on what's in their closets and on their bodies. At the same time, there's also space for our fashion choices to express who we are and what we like.    To help us address the woes of using fashion as a mental health check, we're joined by TWLOHA staff members Alex Jones and Amber Gardner.    Alex Jones (he/him) is an Ohio native and has been a designer at TWLOHA for seven years and counting. Alex grew up doodling on any scrap of paper that came his way and still enjoys creative pursuits like photography, illustration, and lettering. When he's not slinging designs at work or at home, he can often be found at the nearest theater watching the latest Oscar winners or nominees or playing games like “Up and Down the River” with friends.   Amber Gardner (she/her) works as TWLOHA's Director of Partnerships, and is originally from the Northeast but currently calls Nevada home. When she isn't cultivating relationships with both companies + individuals invested in mental health advocacy, you can find her hiking with her dog Lola, growing her plant collection (she used to name them but no longer does), or traveling the world (her favorite place thus far is Snowdonia National Park in Wales). As for this year, Amber is most looking forward to visiting Italy.

The term “therapy desert” is relatively new. Or at least, many people are learning about it for the first time. Because while talking about and even going to therapy has become way less stigmatized over the course of the last three years, there are still places without the resources, necessary infrastructure (like internet access and public transportation), and even the language to be able to access it. Therapy costs money, a lot of money, but how can you address the financial barrier when there isn't even a counselor within a 60-mile radius of where you live? And to put this into a number perspective: There are currently 570 counties in the US without psychologists, psychiatrists, or counselors. That's 17% of counties in the country.   To assist us in answering some questions about therapy deserts like: What are they? Where are they? And what can we do to address them? We're joined by two wonderful folks that are bringing professional and personal experience to the mic.    Our first guest is JoAnn or “Jodi” Davis, who is an MS, LPC, and NCC that currently works at a comprehensive homelessness program in Texas. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Biomedical Sciences from Texas A&M University and a Master of Science in Counseling from the University of North Texas. When not providing therapy or doing advocacy work, Jodi often volunteers at local therapeutic horsemanship programs. Jodi's favorite hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, cruising down backroads, and taking selfies with various dogs and farm animals.   And our second guest is no stranger to this podcast. Bianca Mujica is TWLOHA's Community Care Coordinator, which means her work focuses on finding inclusive and creative ways to connect with supporters online. She is a Mexican-American queer woman from Texas with a background in journalism and a love for language. Outside of work, she can be found eating lots of pasta, cuddling with her dog, and creating colorful pieces of art.   Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at: twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

Even before social media and influencers, celebrity culture has permeated our senses through magazines, billboards, advertisements, TV shows, and movies. We're told what is and isn't attractive or desired when it comes to the way we look on the outside. And now, with technology at our fingertips, with filters on nearly every image our eyes take in, and with products and routines that will supposedly transform us into the individual we're admiring, it's no wonder so many of us deal with dysmorphic thinking when it comes to our bodies.    In addition to body dysmorphia, there's also body positivity and more recently, body neutrality. To explore all three of those things and more, we're joined by Alex Jones and Auslyn James.    Alex Jones (he/him) is an Ohio native and has been a designer at TWLOHA for seven years and counting. Alex grew up doodling on any scrap of paper that came his way and still enjoys creative pursuits like photography, illustration, and lettering. When he's not slinging designs at work or at home, he can often be found at the nearest theater watching the latest Oscar winners or nominees or playing games like “Up and Down the River” with friends.   Auslyn James (she/her), TWLOHA's Director of People Operations, has spent a number of years honing her craft and is a Senior Certified Professional in Human Resources as well as Certified in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. When she isn't doing all things HR, she can be found traveling, walking along the beach, hanging with friends, or video-chatting with her family. Auslyn is originally from the small island of Antigua but has spent the majority of her life living in NY before moving to Central Florida seven years ago.  Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at:   twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

Mental Health Month is upon us and we're in the midst of our Show Up For Yourself campaign which focuses on finding 20 minutes a day to care for things that relate to your heart, mind, body, and community. This can look like gentle movement, calling a friend, journaling, and deep breathing. While we're putting an emphasis on small, accessible, and tangible ways that we can all show up for ourselves, there's obviously a bigger avenue for us, if we have the resources, to tend to our mental well-being: Therapy.    So that's what we're talking about today. But this isn't just about the rather cliche vision we all have when we think about therapy. A shrink sitting upright in a chair taking notes across from their patient who's sharing their thoughts. Of course, there's great value to talk therapy, but there are more options. And that's a good thing because therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We all have varying experiences, varying abilities, and varying needs, so naturally the therapy that suits us best might look different than what we are familiar with and what TV shows and films project out into the world.    In today's episode, we have the honor of exploring alternative therapy options, like Art Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in particular, with the guidance of the wonderful and creative Alyse Ruriani.    Alyse Ruriani (she/they) is a queer femme art therapist, licensed professional counselor, illustrator, and person with lived experience. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design and a Masters in Art Therapy and Counseling. Alyse's work aims to communicate information, provide tangible tools, and validate the human experience through engaging illustrations and designs. They live in a colorful apartment in Chicago with their black cat/co-therapist Boo. When Alyse is not working, you can likely find her swimming in some body of water, making art with friends, or hyper fixating on some new ideas.

Burnout. You've probably heard the term over the course of the last few years in regard to work, the pandemic, and the general state of the world. According to Psychology Today, burnout is a state of emotional, mental, and often physical exhaustion brought on by prolonged or repeated stress. Though it's most often caused by things at work, it can also appear in other areas of life, such as parenting, caretaking, or romantic relationships. At the core of burnout, is stress. Stress can manifest itself in many different ways and it does a number on the body, mind, and soul when it's not acknowledged and addressed.    In today's episode, we talk about how to recognize burnout and how to treat it with the help of two people who are rather familiar with it: Sheena Grosshans who is a parent and the spouse of an educator, and Jen Sutton, a long-time teacher.    Sheena works as TWLOHA's Director of Key Relationships and is a Brooklyn, NY native who found both her love and home in the South. She is a lifelong creative and professionally compassionate but spends most of her days being bossed around by her two-year-old daughter. She also shares an eight-year-old son with her husband, a third-generation educator who currently teaches at a middle school in Florida.   Our second guest, Jen, is in her 13th year as a high school science teacher. This year, in particular, she has even added a few middle school classes to her agenda. And one of her coworkers is actually her husband, who teaches at the same school. But Jen is much more than just a teacher—she is passionate about mental health and advocating for both educators and students alike, she has a corgi named Millie and a cat named Bev, and she's a really big fan of the show Ted Lasso (her favorite character is Mae).

Season six is officially upon us and we're excited for a number of reasons. First, we're going to have the joy of talking to more To Write Love folks and holding in-person conversations. Second, the topics we're diving into might feel a bit more culturally relevant. We'll get into the mental health assumptions made based on the way someone dresses, different types of counseling like art therapy or combining two forms into one, using bodies as fashion and how it hurts our well-being, and even the burnout being experienced by teachers, parents, and students alike.    In today's episode, we're focusing on two things that are rather intertwined. Two things that have become common topics and common language on the internet—especially on a little app called TikTok: namely, ADHD and neurodiversity. To help us lay out some definitions, break down some long-held stigmas, and address the gray area of digital self-diagnosis, we'll be accompanied by TWLOHA team members Sabrina Coyle and Katie Mumper.    TWLOHA Graphic Designer, Sabrina Coyle is a Florida native and an avid creator. Almost every week, when she isn't working on projects for the non-profit, she attempts to master a new hobby—sometimes with little luck but always with a whole lot of enthusiasm. Beyond work and artistic endeavors, you can find her cuddled up with her dog Luke while she crochets, plays Animals Crossing, or watches anime.   Our second guest Katie Mumper joined the TWLOHA team in 2018 after 12 years of experimenting with potential career paths. She now serves as Director of Communications. She loves being a geek about a variety of things—like Doctor Who, Broadway shows she enjoys, and her particular cross-section of TikTok—as well as being Aunt Katie to seven incredible young humans.   Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at:   twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

      Welcome to Episode 193 where my good friend Michelle Buckingham joins us again with her magic of simplifying wellness. Confusing nutrition and wellness information can make feeding yourself properly seem like an overwhelming task. Michelle reminds us that it shouldn't be that hard. You may know what to do, but not how to do it. Today is part II of my conversation with Michelle Buckingham, MA,RD,LDN registered dietitian and wellness coach.  She specializes in simplifying this information and making it easy to apply in the real world - your own life. She helps everyone, from people with diabetes and high cholesterol to folks who simply want to stay well. As a registered, licensed dietitian/nutritionist with over 23 years' experience, she loves helping folks regain the joy of eating and wellness in the context of their everyday lives. Over the many years I've known her and seeing the success she has had helping people get healthier, lose weight, and begin to feel so much better about themselves, I am so excited to FINALLY have her here on the show! We had so much to talk about and I wanted to make sure you got as much good stuff from her that you could, so  we've actually split this into two parts, so make sure you listen in to last week's episode as well! Today we get into the truth about supplements and how to know you are getting the correct nutrients in your diet.   Here are some the things Michelle's' clients love to have her help with. Personalized meal planning One-on-one counseling Wellness resources & referrals Lifestyle management Medical nutrition therapy   “Pause for a moment.  Pay attention to what your body is telling you.  Listen to your needs and your boundaries.

In this episode, Chad Moses of 'To Write Love on Her Arms'—the non-profit dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury, and suicide—talks to Swedish songwriter Paula Jiven to inspire a new song that will inspire those going through difficulties. Stream the song 'Don't forget how far you've come': https://ffm.to/dontforgethow TWLOHA exists to encourage, inform, inspire, and also to invest directly into treatment and recovery. Since its start in 2006, they have donated over $3 million directly into treatment and recovery making it possible for people to access mental health care when they need it the most. Each month, TWLOHA creates more than 11 million moments of hope through their online and social media presence for people in over 100 countries. And these moments lead to people taking the next step to find help as TWLOHA connects 3,000+ people monthly to mental health resources like crisis lines, support groups, and affordable local mental health resources through the FIND HELP Tool. On a mission to disrupt Swedish songwriter and artist Paula Jiven from Gothenburg made her debut appearance for the public at age 14 with her rendition of Michael Jackson's ‘Billie Jean' on Sweden's Got Talent in 2018. A cover that gave her a Golden Buzzer and that subsequently went viral, amassing over 4 million views to date. She has since then developed her songwriting talent together with Wamer/Chappell and currently shares her management with the likes of Imagine Dragons, Clinton Kane, and The Killers (Reynolds Management in Las Vegas, US). Paula Jiven makes spellbindingly original pop music, each song sparked from her radiant imagination. At just 18-years-old, she's already cultivated a truly singular voice as an artist, one that defies all expectations in favour of following her most playful and daring instincts. With a self-described mission of “disrupting the comfortable and comforting the disrupted,“ Jiven is set to deliver a debut body of work revealing her supreme gifts as a storyteller and the tremendous power of her captivating voice. DON'T FORGET HOW FAR YOU'VE COME Say you're down And say your stuck Can't get out of bed Laugh it off But it's not a joke What's messing with your head You say it's hard To be living out In the way you wished you could But I know it's not How you think it is When you think you're really screwed You've got things you're convinced you need The things you've got to be I'll lend a hand And I'll lend my eyes I wanna help you heal Cause all we need Is all you are I want you to run free You were always beautiful And one day I hope you'll see Don't forget how far you've come And I'll - write the love upon your arms I'll lend my hand, I want to help you heal You're all we need, I want you to run free You're all we need, I want you to run free You're all we need, I want you to run free You're all we need, I want you to run free I want you to run For more information, please visit: www.twloha.com.

Meet Lindsay and Chad. They want you to know that you are not a burden. These two heart-wired humans are leading conversation and community at To Write Love on Her Arms - a nonprofit movement dedicated to presenting hope and finding help for people struggling with depression, addiction, self-injury and suicide. We're talking self-love, self-care in community and the importance of being connected. TWLOHA is preaching that we're “all part of this bigger story. And without that, we don't know where this story's going. So stay.”

Being vulnerable is no easy task. Sharing our pain and fears and struggles can make us feel exposed, weak, and susceptible to others' criticisms. Add in our own personal stigmas against things like therapy and vulnerability, and getting honest ends up being one heck of a challenge. Today, we have the honor and pleasure of talking to singer-songwriter Andy Grammer about his experience with all of the above. Andy talks about the grief of losing his mother in 2009, but how caring for his own mental health didn't enter his reality in a big way until 2020 due to the pandemic. As a pretty lively and energetic person who sings a lot of uplifting and catchy tunes on stage, Andy also shares how he has and is using music to make room for the heavier things in life, too.    Multi-platinum artist Andy Grammer continues to engage, energize, and empower audiences with stomping stadium-size pop anthems meant to be shared at full volume. His observations and affirmations pick people back up when they need it, affirm their potential, and encourage them to keep going. His catalog consists of numerous bona fide hits, including the quadruple-platinum single “Honey, I'm Good;” the platinum singles “Keep Your Head Up,” “Fine By Me,” “Don't Give Up On Me,” “Fresh Eyes,” and “Good To Be Alive (Hallelujah);” the gold single “I Found You;” and the gold albums Andy Grammer (2011) and Magazines Or Novels (2014). He has generated billions of streams and lent his music to films such as Five Feet Apart.    Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at: twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

How we talk about, approach, and care for suicide is a pretty big deal. Suicide is a tragic and intense topic, and it's also a very real and human-centered topic. That's why we want to explore the ways in which we can reframe and change how we address it in a more compassionate sense—and how we, on a person-to-person level, can care for ourselves, friends, and loved ones who might be thinking about or considering suicide. So today, we have the honor of hearing and learning from suicide prevention expert Shelby Rowe. Shelby will walk us through everything we mentioned and she'll also touch on why the suicide rate is notably higher for different communities of people—specifically BIPOC communities.    Shelby Rowe is an award-winning artist, mother of three sons, suicide attempt survivor, and director of one of the nation's largest federally funded suicide prevention projects. She is the recipient of the 2021 American Association of Suicidology Transforming Lived Experience Award and the 2016 Chickasaw Nation Dynamic Woman of the Year. Ms. Rowe has been a leader in the suicide prevention movement at the local, state, and national levels since 2007.   This episode is a part of our You Are Not a Burden campaign in honor of September being Suicide Prevention Month.

In honor of National Suicide Prevention Week, Mickenzie and Hannah are joined by Onsite's Clinical Supervisor, Emily Kadlec. Emilie invites us all to get honest about our comfortability with our own suffering and emotional landscape while creating a safe space to talk about a sometimes taboo and difficult topic. Our hope is that by talking about suicide we can all seek to show up better for ourselves and the people we love by fostering empathy and connection and broadening our understanding.  *If you or a loved one are struggling with suicide, we encourage you to seek professional help. You can find support at TWLOHA.com or by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988.  

In 2018, after Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain died by suicide, Deanna Zandt felt compelled to address the words of encouragement others were offering those in the midst of a mental struggle. That piece is titled “Why ‘you are loved' & ‘please reach out' are crappy things to post after someone has died by suicide” and it explores the way in which our words and actions can help or hurt someone struggling. In today's episode, we're honored to be joined by Deanna to explore her perspective and thoughts on how we can genuinely support and show up for someone who's thinking about suicide.    Deanna Zandt (she/her) is a writer, artist, and award-winning technologist living in Brooklyn, NY. She spent 15 years working at the forefront of social justice, technology and media; after she burned out for the third time, she realized that maybe that work wasn't suiting her particularly well. Currently, she spends her time: supporting other very impressive people and organizations behind-the-scenes with their technology; writing & drawing when she feels like it; walking and playing with her two dogs and their friends; connecting with humans near and far; and figuring out how to exist with meaning, fulfillment, and as many giggles as possible.     This episode is a part of our You Are Not a Burden campaign in honor of September being Suicide Prevention Month.

Just say no. Drugs are whack.  Recognize, Resist, Report.   These phrases stem from programs and campaigns and political agendas that ultimately hurt the United States and its people. The Drug Abuse Resistance Education Program or DARE filled schools in the 90s—and while overall being deemed ineffective, it continues today asking youth to take pledges to stay away from drugs and gangs. Then there's the failed and heavily criticized War on Drugs that began in the 70s but really took off in the 80s. With it came laws that criminalized drugs and racially targeted specific groups and communities of people—especially people of color. Its focus weighed heavily on deterring use rather than emphasizing treatment and recovery.   So today, with all of this in mind, we have the immense honor of talking with and learning from Dr. Nzinga Harrison about addiction and the on-growing and growing opioid epidemic. Dr. Harrison is a physician, educator, and the Chief Medical Officer and Co-Founder of Eleanor Health, a value-based provider of comprehensive, outpatient addiction treatment. Above all else, this conversation is about reframing the way we as individuals and as a society view and address addiction and the people who are dealing with substance use disorders.  Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at: twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

Eating Disorders are a human experience. They don't play favorites or stick to a certain stereotype. They are often ways a person seeks out safety or control amidst a traumatic or trying time. And they rarely begin straight out of the gate as a diagnosable eating disorder and rather a coping mechanism through which disordered eating and an ultimately harmful relationship with food or body image take hold. Some recurring themes throughout today's episode will be empathy and connection.   To guide us through these conversations, we have two guests joining us. The first is Nōn Wels. Nōn is a writer, doggo lover, mental health advocate, the creator of the weekly podcast, You, Me, Empathy, and the founder of the collaborative mental health community, The Feely Human Collective, where you can grow your capacity for empathy, vulnerability, and emotional curiosity. For Nōn, eating disorders, specifically anorexia nervosa, have played a role in his mental health journey, stemming from his parents' divorce, childhood trauma, and a way to seek control and communicate his pain.     We'll also hear from Corrie Van Horne, co-founder of and therapist at Omni Counseling in Denver, Colorado, who will give us her professional perspective on eating disorders. Corrie believes that therapy is inherently radical in that it aims to dismantle and abolish systems of oppression and the ways we as individuals have internalized them. Outside of work, Corrie spends her downtime with family, friends, and her pup Roxy.    Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at: twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

Maybe you look forward to the solitude that comes after a long day of work or spending the weekends in nature with your dog. Maybe you find energy and comfort in game nights with friends or love the opportunity to meet new people. Or, perhaps you find yourself best suited somewhere in the middle—reading books in the company of a loved one. But how do those varying preferences, those gages for recharging and feeling restored and rejuvenated, affect our mental health? Are they connected? Do they share the same space? We're curious to find out, so on this episode, we're talking about introversion and extroversion, and how they tie into the mental well-being of a person. To help us, we're joined by Jess McAuley (introvert) and Bianca Mujica (extrovert).    Jess McAuley an INFP, Virgo, and a new mom. She is a Niagara, Ontario-based arts worker and performer, as well as co-host of "The Introvert's Guide To.." podcast. While on maternity leave (and when she has free time), Jess is developing her craft of writing and indulging in her infatuation with Tombow and Copic markers. Between all of this, it is uncertain if she will ever sleep again.   Bianca Mujica is TWLOHA's Community Care Coordinator, which means her work focuses on finding inclusive and creative ways to connect with supporters online. She is a Mexican-American queer woman from Texas with a background in journalism and a love for language. Outside of work, she can be found eating lots of pasta, cuddling with her dog, and creating colorful pieces of art.    Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at: twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

  Borderline Personality Disorder. It has been deemed a heavy diagnosis. One that has been linked to characteristics such as manipulative, self-destructive, unstable, selfish, and untreatable. It is described as involving patterns of wavering interpersonal relationships, a distorted sense of self, and emotional reactions that are characterized as intense.    In this episode, we're going to confront some truly harmful labels, reiterate that this diagnosis, contrary to popular belief, is indeed treatable, and note that amidst the black and white thinking, there is a middle space of gray to be found and known. To help us tackle all of these things and more, we'll be joined by Genevieve Jacobs and counselor Patrick Miranda.   Genevieve is a resident physician navigating the roles of both doctor and patient with her diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. She is passionate about addressing the stigma associated with physician mental health and seeking help. Gen currently lives in Ontario, Canada, with her partner and their dog. Outside of work, you can often find her kayaking, adventuring with her pup, or working on being a better plant mom.   Patrick Miranda has worked in multiple treatment settings, including residential and outpatient services for substance use disorders. He has experience working with adolescents, adults, and families with a range of therapeutic issues, including addiction, mood disorders, trauma, and suicidality. He especially enjoys working with those in the LGBTQ+ community. In his downtime, Patrick reads a lot and plays an exceptional amount of video games.    Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at: twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.   Download TWLOHA's daily-use self-care app, The Hopeful, at twloha.com/thehopeful/.   Purchase the “I Hate You—Don't Leave Me” book by going to https://www.amazon.com/Hate-You-Dont-Leave-Me/dp/0380713055.    Read the words of Genevieve Jacobs at https://twloha.com/blog/author/genevieve-jacobs/.    To access the Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook, go to https://www.google.ca/books/edition/The_Dialectical_Behavior_Therapy_Skills/pan4976pG6sC?hl=en&gbpv=1&printsec=frontcover.    For resources and more information on Borderline Personality Disorder, you can visit https://nami.org/About-Mental-Illness/Mental-Health-Conditions/Borderline-Personality-Disorder/Support, https://www.nyp.org/bpdresourcecenter/professionals/publications, and https://emotionsmatterbpd.org/.    Credits:   This episode of the TWLOHA podcast was hosted by Chad Moses and produced by Rebecca Ebert.

Jamie never expected to be a mental health advocate. He was working in the industry that had always been his dream career: surfing apparel. But things changed after several days spent taking care of a young woman he didn't know, who was struggling with suicidal thoughts, substance use disorder, and self-harm. Renee had carved the word “fuckup” onto her arms but couldn't get into a treatment facility for several days. Jamie's essay about their time together became a viral sensation on MySpace, which led the way to t-shirt sales to help fund Renee's recovery. From there, the essay became a large, successful mental health advocacy non-profit.Jamie tells that story as well as why he ultimately left TWLOHA, how he perseveres through bleak suicide statistics, and what he's doing about a recent breakup.Visit Jamie's website at JamieTworkowski.com.

In today's episode, through a question and answer session, we dive into the topic of rest. Rest in the form of actual sleep, rest from our jobs, from school, from social interactions, and rest, even from the work that our healing and recovery requires of us.    In a heavily digitized world, we are often expected and asked to be engaged—or at least available—at all times. But as human beings who get tired and drained, being “always on” and “always accessible” is an expectation we can't and shouldn't meet. It's honestly something we need to protect ourselves from if we want to lead healthy, balanced lives. And because To Write Love aims to inspire and lead by example, this episode also marks a mid-season break for the podcast so that Becky, our editor and producer, can go on a month-long sabbatical.    When we say that “we need you here,” we also mean to say that we need you to take care of yourself so that you can be here. We need you to advocate for your well-being, to prioritize things like rest so that you don't get burnt out to the point that being a “story still going” feels next to impossible.    Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at: twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

Mindfulness. It's become a bit of a buzzword. But boiling it down to a single word does it a bit of disservice. Mindfulness can take the shape of various forms of meditation, yoga practices, immersing ourselves in nature, noticing our breath, or tapping into our senses.    But how does mindfulness, and all the avenues it involves, intersect with mental health? How can our awareness of the present moment, of a tangible aspect of reality change or improve our inner world?    To help us explore and understand this, we're going to be joined by Tianna Soto. Tianna is a Puerto Rican, Jamaican-Chinese writer, speaker, and mental health educator based in New York City. She received a Master's in Clinical Psychology in Education from Columbia University and is a certified yoga and mindfulness instructor. Her ongoing mission is to empower others to embrace their journey with clarity and confidence.   Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at:   twitter.com/TWLOHA   instagram.com/twloha/   facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.

Candance wrote, “Parts of my brain continually struggle for power while others retreat completely. But no matter what's been taken—time, control, hope for the future—it's never too late to start anew.”   Bianca said, “Every day I learn new things about how my OCD manifests, and I am figuring out in real-time what that means for my relationships, health, and job.”   And Kirsten shared, “OCD, contrary to popular belief, is not tidy or clean. It's messy. Exhausting. Loud.”   These words come from personal experiences with OCD. Stories we've had the honor of sharing on our blog. But OCD is not a challenge we've talked about on this specific platform. So on today's episode, it is our honor to have Sara Galgalo, a psychotherapist who works at the OCD Center of Los Angeles, as our guest to help us better understand OCD, how it gets misdiagnosed for other things like anxiety, and the type of treatment that is having a pretty incredible impact.    Sara is a big Doctor Who fan, she grew up playing sports and was even a figure skater for years, and she loves to go hiking back in her home state of Washington.    Sara Galgalo is a psychotherapist licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of California. Sara received her Master's degree in Clinical Psychology from Pepperdine University. Sara's work at the OCD Center of Los Angeles focuses on CBT for adults, adolescents, and children suffering from all types of OCD (including all “Pure O” variants such as HOCD, POCD, ROCD, and Harm OCD), and other anxiety disorders. In addition to treating individual clients, Sara also currently leads a low-fee therapy/support group for adults with OCD.  She's a big Doctor Who fan, grew up playing a lot of sports (and was a figure skater for a few years), and loves to go hiking in her home state of Washington.

How do we overcome the voices telling us to give up when life doesn't turn out as expected? In this week's episode, artist and author Scott Erickson joins Mickenzie to discuss his new book: Say Yes: Discovering the Surprising Life Beyond the Death of a Dream. Together they explore the opportunity and beauty that lies just on the other side of failure, disappointment, disillusionment, and uncertainty. During the conversation, Scott and Mickenzie talk candidly about suicide. If you or a loved one are struggling with suicide, we hope this conversation is encouraging and equipping. If you need help today, we encourage you to reach out for support. You can find support at TWLOHA.com or by calling the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 800-273-8255.

The topic of this episode is rather specific. It's something we haven't addressed on the podcast until now and have only briefly explored elsewhere. It's something that carries a heavy stigma and the weight of expectation. It's something that impacts 20% of people who are pregnant or give birth. We're talking about perinatal—that's before, during, and after pregnancy—mood and anxiety disorders that include depression, irritability, and heightened anxiety.    To help us paint a picture of what these struggles can look like, we'll be talking to Ceara Pertain, who will not only share her own difficult journey with a traumatic birth experience and a myriad of mood disturbances that followed—but will cast a net of compassion for those entering or facing motherhood. And to guide us in understanding these challenges and how treatment can range from therapy and medicine to movement and sunshine, we'll be joined by counselor Leighya Richard.   Ceara Pertain, is an Air Force veteran, an Intuitive Life and Soul Coach, a Master Resiliency Trainer, a Yogi, an author, a blogger, and a poet. She lives with her mystical daughter and her black cat, and is a self-confessed book-and-crystal fanatic.   Leighya Richard is a licensed mental health counselor, wife, and toddler and “pandemic baby” mom. She works to support and advocate for women's health and to empower those facing perinatal mood and anxiety disorders.

Self-injury appears in the TWLOHA mission statement. It's something we work to destigmatize and to present hope and healing for those who struggle with it. But in today's episode, we're talking about what it means to be the parent, friend, partner, or loved one of someone who engages in non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors. What so many people need is a safe space to share without judgment and to explore their options when it comes to professional care.    To help us navigate and understand how to be safe spaces, we're joined by counselor Michelle Moore, who addresses the hard but honest fact that we, as caretakers, confidants, and guardians, can rarely be everything that person might need. She also talks about how it's OK for us to recognize that we too might ultimately need help in being safe spaces.    Michelle Moore is a licensed mental health counselor in Orlando, Florida, who works at Solace Counseling, which is also owned and run by Michelle and her husband Aaron. She specializes in working with both adults and adolescents who are facing mental health challenges such as self-injury, eating disorders, depression, addiction, and more.  Show Notes (Links of ours and guests):   Download a transcript of this episode at twloha.com/podcast.   Follow TWLOHA on social media at:   twitter.com/TWLOHA instagram.com/twloha/ facebook.com/towriteloveonherarms/   Visit our FIND HELP page of mental health resources at twloha.com/find-help/.   Get connected for free, 24/7 to a trained crisis counselor via Crisis Text Line by texting TWLOHA to 741741.   Connect with our team by emailing podcast@twloha.com.   Learn more about the podcast and previous episodes at twloha.com/podcast.
