Think about how often you’ve had this convo w someone you haven’t seen in a while (even those you’re close with): “Hey, great to see you…how’ve you been?” “Good, can’t complain…and you?” “Pretty much the same…nothing too exciting happening.” And then the conversation stops there. It’s our standard response. It’s our …
Today’s #SameHere🤙Hero: Hazel Gale (I find this story inspiring for so many reasons. First, Hazel was at the “top of her game” competitively, so others just assumed she was ok.

Today’s #SameHere🤙Hero: Gina Loretelli. (Her story speaks for itself. Her combo of genetic predispositions & lived traumas is literally unreal. But she reached out months ago, we became friends & I’ve since asked her to take a large role with our #SameHere Advocacy Alliance. She’s so good w other ppl, I even had to show …
Unfortunately, I have learned this one the hard way over the years. It’s often that we use the silent treatment bc we are upset, angry, or hurt. Consciously or subconsciously, we want to send a message to the other person who we believe may have done us wrong. The thought usually is – …
Today’s #SameHere🤙Hero: Nikeea Killick (So interesting to hear the perspective of someone who went through a major physical injury from an accident, while at the same time had to deal with mental health complications related to the accident. Though not surprised by her perspective, I was very interested to learn from Nikeea how the mental health …
Thanks to Dr. Jennifer Stagg from our #SameHere 🤙 Practitioner Alliance for sharing the below NY Times article on some of the latest research as to whether or not antidepressants work.
