It Happened To Me: A Rare Disease and Medical Challenges Podcast
A sensitive content warning: this episode includes discussion of substance addiction, mental health struggles, suicide attempts, and recovery. If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or at risk of harm, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline is available 24/7 in the U.S., call or text 988 to connect with a trained counselor, or use the online chat through the 988 Lifeline. It supports people experiencing suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, mental health crises, and substance use concerns. To honor May being Mental Health Awareness month we invited Drew Motiv to share his story of transformation through addiction, mental health struggles, and surviving suicide attempts, in this episode. Now a motivational speaker and founder of the Divine Family Movement, Drew opens up about the darkest chapters of his life and how he found his way toward healing, self-belief, and purpose. We explore what it truly means to hit rock bottom, the isolation that can come with addiction and recovery, and the difficult work of rebuilding your identity after trauma. Drew reflects on the internal battles he faced, the moments that changed his path, and how he now uses his lived experience to help others feel less alone. Beth and Cathy also talk with Drew about the emotional complexity of recovery, learning to trust yourself again, coping with lingering anxiety and darkness, and turning personal pain into public advocacy. His story is both deeply personal and broadly resonant for anyone navigating mental health challenges, addiction, or the long road back to themselves. In this episode, we discuss: Drew Motiv's journey through addiction and mental health struggles What “rock bottom” looked like in his life Surviving suicide attempts and the emotional aftermath The role of isolation, honesty, and support in recovery Rebuilding trust in yourself after trauma How recovery is not linear Turning painful experiences into purpose-driven advocacy Founding the Divine Family Movement Redefining strength, especially for men facing stigma around vulnerability What Drew wants listeners who are struggling to hear right now If you or someone you know is struggling, please use the resources below.

Episode Title: Toking with the Dead is Back Baby! The high-energy haunt is officially back! After a brief hiatus, the Dead October Paranormal crew—Job Martinez (AKA Castle Cage), Joseph "The Extreme," and Jonathan "The Fan Boy"—are lighting up the mics for a brand-new session of Dead Time. In this episode, the guys are diving headfirst into the digital abyss to review three of the scariest TikToks found this week. From glitch-in-the-matrix moments to bone-chilling shadow figures caught on camera, the crew breaks down the footage with their signature blend of unfiltered commentary, paranormal expertise, and dark humor. Is it legitimate evidence or just clever editing? The Chaos Crew doesn't hold back.

About 17 veterans died by suicide each day in 2023. That's nearly 6,400 for the entire year. An annual report from the Department of Veterans Affairs shows overall veteran suicides are decreasing. More than half of veterans who died by suicide did not receive VA health care in the last year of their life. Suicide rates are elevated for veterans ages 18 to 34 and those experiencing homelessness, health problems or chronic pain. Veterans with thoughts of suicide can reach the Veterans Crisis Line by dialing 9-8-8 and then pressing 1.

Sleep breaks down, pain turns constant, and the mind keeps running like it never got the memo that the mission is over. This conversation follows what it looks like to claw your way back when the body is hurting, the nights are loud, and isolation starts to feel normal. Rowdie McMahon shares her experience as an Air Force nurse deployed to Afghanistan, including the relentless pace and mass casualty reality, and how that pressure followed her home. She opens up about chronic pain, years on heavy medications, and the slow work of tapering off while staying engaged with mental health support. From there, the story shifts to what finally helped: Wounded Warrior Project programs, small steps back into community, and a surprising turning point through racing, building cars with other veterans, and putting 988 and the Veterans Crisis Line on the car as part of the mission.

Stop dodging those complex questions about AI and mental health! Join Drs. Kevin Holloway and Jenna Ermold as they engage with the brilliant Dr. April Foreman, Director of Technology and Innovation at the Veterans Crisis Line, for a conversation that proves tech is no longer optional—it's essential. Dr. Foreman pulls back the curtain on the sobering reality: the demand for evidence-based suicide prevention care is simply too vast for traditional methods to meet. Discover the shocking "sin" of EBP practice we might all be committing, learn how simple AI tools (like automated scribing) can boost your clinical fidelity, and find out what happens when a clinical expert "red-teams" popular chatbots for suicidality. Get the insights you need to confidently apply your ethical framework to the future of care and conquer your fear of the algorithmic boogeyman!April C. Foreman, Ph.D., is a Licensed Psychologist serving Veterans as Director of Technology and Innovations for the Veterans Crisis Line. She is a member of the team that launched OurDataHelps.org, a recognized innovation in data donation for ground-breaking suicide research. She is passionate about helping people with severe (sometimes lethal) emotional pain, and in particular advocates for people with Borderline Personality Disorder, which has one of the highest mortality rates of all mental illnesses. She is known for her work at the intersection of technology, social media, and mental health, with nationally recognized implementations of innovations in the use of technology and mood tracking. She is the 2015 recipient of the Roger J. Tierney Award for her work as a founder and moderator of the first sponsored regular mental health chat on Twitter, the weekly Suicide Prevention Social Media chat (#SPSM, sponsored by the American Association of Suicidology, AAS). Her dream is to use her unique skills and vision to build a mental health system effectively and elegantly designed to serve the people who need it.Resources mentioned in this episode: CDP's 2025 EBP Conference Archive including presentations by Dr. April Foreman, Dr. Vaile Wright, Dr. Matt Price, and Drs.
