⚠️ CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains open discussion of suicidal ideation, mental health struggles, domestic violence, and abuse. Please listen with care and find the support resources at the end of these show notes if you need them. In This Episode: What happens when you write the book you desperately needed as a child – and then the world doesn't get to read it? Author, book coach, and mental health advocate Rocky Callen joins Seryna for a conversation that refuses to sanitize anything. They talk about carrying suicidal ideation since age 11 with no one knowing, how writing A Breath Too Late became a reckoning with everything she'd hidden, and what it really looks like to bet on yourself before the world is ready to bet on you. Plus: the difference between vulnerability and vulnerability porn, why life is always in revision, and why your first draft – of a book or a life – is always worth celebrating. What You'll Discover: Why glossing over mental health struggles doesn't protect people – it isolates them The survival self hiding behind high achievement and the shiny mask of ambition The difference between sharing your trauma and sharing what you're holding within it What it looks like to bet on yourself before the world is ready to do the same Why life – and writing – is a process of revision, not a race to the finish line The reparenting practice of treating your fumbles the way you'd treat a baby learning to walk Episode Highlights: 00:53 - Meet Rocky Callen: author, book coach, and co-conspirator in dismantling the polished projection 05:14 - Why sanitizing mental health conversations is dangerous – and what we actually need instead 08:17 - Writing A Breath Too Late in a week, sobbing every day, and finally naming the suicidal ideation she'd carried since age 11 13:02 - The difference between trauma dumping and purposeful storytelling 17:21 - The book's wild ride: pandemic release, critical acclaim, and going out of print 20:30 - Getting the rights back, Times Square, and re-releasing September 2026 for World Suicide Prevention Day 38:24 - Life as revision: taking the red pen to the story you're living 56:37 - Being vs. doing: the big exhale this whole conversation builds toward About Vulnerability That Actually Heals: There's a difference between vulnerability and vulnerability porn. Rocky names it clearly: if you're going to share the hard things, share what you're holding within them – not just the terrible thing that happened, but the question, the insight, the messy uncertainty you're sitting with. That's what creates connection. That's what makes someone feel seen instead of spectated. Rocky spent a lifetime performing competence. Interned at NASA at 12. College at 16. Exceptional by every external measure – while quietly carrying suicidal ideation since she was 11 years old. Not even her husband knew. It wasn't until she wrote A Breath Too Late that she began to reckon with what she'd been hiding. And then the letters came: from young people navigating suicidal ideation, from people inside domestically violent homes, from mothers who had left those homes and remembered how it felt. One letter described a young person who read the book, brought it to their mother, and together they left. That is the medicine of stories told with honesty and care. And it's exactly why Rocky fought to get this book back into the world.

Listen to today's podcast... “A permanent solution to a temporary state.” We often don't hear about those that died by suicide. Because we don't talk about it, those around us can suffer in silence, unaware of the supports that may be available to them. There is little funding because there is no public outcry. But the issue of suicide touches us all – whether directly or indirectly. Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and it is celebrated on September 10th each year as a way to improve education about suicide, disseminate information, decrease stigmatization and, most importantly, raise awareness that suicide can be preventable. Around the world, every 40 seconds someone dies by suicide. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency! Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating World Suicide Prevention Day: Read and learn as much as you can about suicide – it's prevalence, the signs and symptoms, and personal stories from survivors. Understand the pain that those who even consider suicide as an option, must be in. Be open and not afraid. Don't be afraid to ask directly about the issue of suicide. Know the resources that are available to help. Suicide is a difficult issue to discuss, but it is even a more difficult issue to experience. Let's help support those who are in pain so that they can find a better solution to living a peaceful and purposeful life. If you like today's wellness tips, let me know. You can leave me a review on amazon or through your #alexa app. For more information on coping with mental health issues, sign up for one of my on-line courses at worksmartlivesmart.com under the resources and courses tab. #mentalhealth #hr

I also explore how perspectives from near-death experience research and stories from clinical practice reveal something essential: when we understand ourselves as spiritual beings, challenges take on new meaning, and even the darkest struggles can be reframed as part of a larger process of growth.You'll learn:Why spirituality protects against hopelessness and suicide riskWhat near-death experience research suggests about life and purposePractical ways to strengthen your spiritual core as a source of resilienceAs this year's theme reminds us, it's time to change the narrative on suicide. May this episode offer hope, meaning, and a reminder that you are not alone.

In this impactful episode of the "Shark Theory" podcast, host Baylor Barbee shares his enlightening experience participating in the North Texas Warrior Golf Association's Mission Zero classic, a charity golf tournament with an extraordinary purpose: using the game of golf to assist veterans in overcoming mental health challenges. Remarkably, this program has maintained a record of zero suicides since its inception in 2011, coinciding compellingly with World Suicide Prevention Day. Baylor's reflective insights on gratitude, camaraderie, and resilience are poignantly woven into his narrative, making this episode both inspiring and educational. Baylor's narration transitions into a deep dive into the essence of being a genuinely good person, epitomized by his friend Randy Watkins, a mortgage lender and an embodiment of altruism. He discusses how Randy's unwavering commitment to selflessness and helping others without expecting anything in return orchestrates success in both personal and professional arenas. Baylor encourages listeners to evaluate and enhance their own "good person" skills, stressing the importance of putting others first and creating meaningful connections. Additionally, this episode underscores the significance of perseverance and adaptability in the face of varying life circumstances, drawing parallels between the changing dynamics of a golf course and one's opportunities in life. Key Takeaways: The North Texas Warrior Golf Association's Mission Zero classic has effectively utilized golf to promote veteran mental health, achieving zero suicides since 2011. Playing golf with veterans offers a profound sense of gratitude, especially on significant days like World Suicide Prevention Day. Developing a "good person" skill is essential; altruism and thoughtful connections can significantly impact one's success and fulfillment. Persistence in the face of difficult seasons or circumstances can eventually lead to success, much like adapting to wet or dry conditions on a golf course. Blocking out negative noise and maintaining focus on your goals, despite external distractions, is crucial for personal and professional growth. Notable Quotes: "Since 2011, they have had zero suicides as a result. And I just thought that was so incredible." - Baylor Barbee "I think the secret to Randy's success, he's just an all-around great guy." - Baylor Barbee "Sometimes you just have to focus on being an extremely good person." - Baylor Barbee "Eventually the tide turns, eventually the season changes. Just stay where you're at, commit to what it is that you're doing right." - Baylor Barbee "Remember why you're there and what you're doing it for." - Baylor Barbee If you're looking to sharpen your mindset and achieve your goals, we've got you covered.

Throughout the episode, he emphasizes the importance of seeking help, the strength found in vulnerability, and the necessity of reaching out to others to share one's burdens. Keywords central to this discourse include "mental health," "suicide prevention," "depression," and "strength in vulnerability." Key Takeaways: Personal Experience with Suicide: Baylor opens up about losing friends and family to suicide and relates his own journey through despair. No More Silence Initiative: Baylor highlights his mission to promote mental health awareness and the significance of communicating struggles. Strength in Vulnerability: True strength comes from acknowledging your struggles and seeking help, rather than suffering in silence.

Make it to Tomorrow: Baylor's simple yet powerful mantra for those in pain is to focus on surviving just one more day, as things can and will change over time. Notable Quotes: "I could relate to their hurt, I could relate to their struggle, I could relate to what they were going through, so much to the fact that I was like, man, I don't want anybody to feel that way." "You gotta talk to somebody... anything that you keep inside your head always gets worse." "True strength, if you want to show your strength, is not keep it to yourself. True strength is saying, hey, I need help." "There's strength and vulnerability. When I started sharing my stories... it's so good to hear somebody else say that because I thought I was the only one who felt that way." "Make it to tomorrow, brother. Just make it to tomorrow. And when you get there and it feels like nothing changes, just make it to tomorrow." If you're looking to sharpen your mindset and achieve your goals, we've got you covered.
