We’ve all been there – we go to the gym for the 1st time in a while…or over-exert ourselves in some form of physical activity (helping a friend move, etc.), & we’re absolutely spent the nxt day. And when this happens, we don’t ever question it. We just did something we were out of practice …

I’ve seen a bunch of examples like these…showing that anyone could be struggling. Obviously with a “5 in 5” MH on a continuum core message, I/we are in agreement there. But these messages almost exclusively focus on disorder – this high profile person/celeb/accomplished individual could be dealing with: insert label. That’s not what normalizes conversation. …
Who am I without this thing that has defined me for so long? Think about how often ppl ask themselves that question! After a divorce or breakup where they defined themselves so much by the connection they had to their partner & who “they” were as a couple. After a job loss or a retirement …
Got the awful news from my HS friends group Saturday morn, that one of our classmates had tragically passed. In his early 40s, gone – of all things: heart attack. I didn’t want to question it. After all I’d lost 3 close friends to undiagnosed/mistreated heart conditions at younger ages. This particular HS classmate (I’m …
8/23/21: The Suicide Narrative That Sadly Hasn’t Changed Read More »
We spend a lot of time sharing the stories of heroes, showing folks who’ve overcome challenges, & talking about the modalities & exercises that have lifted them up. Today felt like a good day to talk to those who are in the thick of it, going through some real difficult stretches, having a tough time …

Came across this pic last night, & simply put, this is what social media has become: the goal being division. And why division? Division riles up human emotion. When we “live” in our mammalian brains we get heated, we consume more of what we WANT to hear, that soothes our feelings toward something (confirmation bias). …

As I’m sure most have the last few days, I’ve thought a lot abt what’s going on in Afghanistan…especially following the last 20yrs the US has been so involved. After seeing how quickly the land was taken back over by the Taliban (the ruling party from 1996-2001), so many scenarios have run thru my mind. …

Yesterday, I witnessed one of the greatest acts of courage I’ve seen, since we’ve begun doing these SameHere programs all over the country, & beyond. We were at Saint Xavier U, in Illinois, presenting to their football team (approx 100 student athletes). So we had a large group of big boys – Midwest young men, …

First time I’d ever heard this ancient Chinese proverb was last night. One of those lines you stumble across & it just grabs you – makes you think intensely & realize, wow, so much wisdom in it. Life is going to have periods of darkness. That’s what being a human entails, sadly. The length & …

I saw the impact that the last post related to suicide, had on so many. The DMs I got on it were extremely heart-felt…seemed to strike a chord, describing how so often, these thoughts are impulse error msgs that begin not far in advance…often not “planned.” Who was the PRIMARY target of that post? I …
