My friend Jen Debe joins me today for a real conversation about mental health. I am blessed to call Jen friend and so impressed by the work she is doing to help increase awareness.
Jen Debe has struggled with mental illness for over 20 years. In 1998, She was diagnosed with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder, one month after starting a new career. A call to the suicide crisis hotline, followed by years of struggling to pinpoint a medication that would work for her put her on a lifelong mission to talk openly about her personal experiences dealing mental illness to let others know they were not alone.
In 2020, Covid-19 caused many people to feel isolated during quarantine and the cases of mental illness, suicide, addiction, and abuse skyrocketed, with rates predicted to rise. Due to the intense effects of Covid Jen’s heart called her to launch HTG, Happiness through Grace, to promote happiness, change the narrative of mental health and donate funds to help non-profits with the overwhelming influx of cases.
You can find her at her site Happiness Through Grace
If you or someone you know needs helps, Please call someone. or the Suicide prevention hotline at. 800-273-8255!!!

I was traveling home from Michigan after spending the day with my son, his fiance and her mother. We were checking out some wedding venues.
I was thinking a lot and started sharing about the Roller Coaster of this life I live .
I have mentioned before the idea of getting off the roller coaster of something in your life who is struggling, There are ups and downs in any eating disorder world of recovery as well as with other addictions and struggles. Part of what I've learned is the importance of detachment and staying neutral.
Spending time with Paul and talking about his upcoming wedding trigger some things for me and I wanted to share my thoughts....in the car...before I got home
Enjoy

Justin Brien, mental health advocate, motivational speaker and Life Coach joins me today. A great guy, hockey player and dad from Canada shares his story of addiction and depression. Many years of struggle to be seen and liked lead to years of covering up the pain with substances.

My dear friend Kim MacNeill joins me today for a candid conversation about grief. As fellow hockey moms we share the love of hockey as our boys have played the sport. 8 years ago she lost her son Ross to a brain tumor.
I often have spoken with Kim about how I feel I have lost my daughter in a similar way albeit she is still alive, to this awful disorder of anorexia and OCD. Today the conversation is candid and raw and real. You will learn why mentioning the name of someone who has died to that loved on can be a gift.
I reference the podcast interview I did with with Claudia about grief. You will find it here. Grief: A way of showing how much you have loved.
Kim has gone on to found the R33M Foundation: the Ross L MacNeill Foundation to end pediatric brain cancer. Her work to bring awareness and raise funds for research is tireless. We will not forget Ross and the impact he had on the lives he touched.
If you are grieving, find support. There are many who will support you when you ask for her. It is deep and real and something that remains and yet we all need to tend the garden around the hole that remains.

Have you taken a vacation this summer? Seems like July is the month. Just returning from Michigan I was reflecting on why it's so important to get away. I share my thoughts about slowing down, sleep, appreciating nature, spending time with family, journaling and SO much more.
Are you taking time for yourself? I hope so. Regardless of what is going on in your life, It's key to take care of yourself and taking a vacation is one good way.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Today you are in for a treat. I was approached by Michelles assistant as someone I may want to interview. When I read that Michelle has experienced 3 NDEs I was intrigued. Our conversation was wonderful and fascinating all at once. Before she came on to be interviewed, we spent some time connecting on zoom. It was right after my mom had passed and what I experienced what amazing.
What ever your belief, I encourage you to be open to what you hear. I believe in God and that we are all connected by the energies around us. And there are some things that we just can't explain and yet if we are open and listen to our intuition, there is so much that we can learn. I know you will enjoy today.
Michelle Clare is a Certified Medium, Angel Intuitive, Spiritual Coach, Energetic Healer, Intuitive Life Coach and 3 time Near Death Experience (NDE) survivor. She receives messages from loved ones who have crossed over, as well as Angels and Life Guides
In a span of 11 years she had 3 near death experiences, the first was in April 2000, the second was in May 2006 and a monumental life changing event in which Michelle suffered a traumatic brain injury on November 1, 2011. Shortly after this life altering event, she started receiving information for other people from their loved ones who had transitioned. All 3 NDEs were a reminder of an unconditional love and connection that surpasses our earthly life.
You can read more and connect with Michelle on her website. She offers reading, coaching and many other services.

Even with all the self care and meditation that we do, sometimes there is something more that can be adjusted for our brains to function better . Cindy and I talk about how if you keep putting premium fuel into your engine but your engine is not tuned properly, the effort is for naught.
The discussion is rich and extensive. I mentioned a therapy that has helped our sons with brain health healing after concussions from hockey.
We also talk supplements that are necessary and recommended for better brain health.
Cindy studied with Dr. Amen. His site is here. https://brainmd.com/
I also highly recommend the Shaklee brand of supplements when talking about Fish oil, B vitamins, a good multi vitamin and gut health probiotics. You will find them all here on my site.
There also is a FREE Health Quiz you can take to determine a personalized plan for you.

That is a an old Beatles song right? We all get by with a little from our friends.
Through the struggles of my daughter and her eating disorder and the death of my mom, I have seen the impact that having good friends surrounding you can have on your life. Eating disorders and addictions can cause chaos in your life. And they leave you feeling along and scared and experiencing things you never imagined. During this time I have reached out numerous time to ask for help for me or my daughter. And my Shaklee family of friends has stepped up in a way I never imagined. You will hear those stories today.
And I have learned the hard way that is is tough to ask for help, We look at ourselves at weak and incapable if we need help, Yet so many are willing to help if we are just brave enough to ask.
Take a listen and share with me your takeaways...and your experiences with your friends and help. And be a good friend today.
