Love how vulnerable Zion is getting. Atheltes (or any public figures), are humans too. Some may call this weak, and that’s fine. On the flip side, if he felt these things from reading the comments, do you know what makes him perform worse? Staying quiet about it and holding it all in. By putting this …
Sadly, this is one of the greatest examples I’ve seen in recent yrs, of how we’re getting MH all wrong. If you look at the media’s portrayal of Aaron’s passing here’s what comes up: possible – addiction, overdose, substance abuse, “huffing,” overuse of Rx drugs. Whether it’s in the title of the article, or is …

Wish I’d known this early on…but I guess that’s where the learning process comes in! That IS where the healing knowledge comes from. I’ve shared recently that over the last couple of wks, I’ve fallen into one of those MH ruts that just happens in life. Nothing situational I can point to. Potentially it’s a …
Look at the date on this article – from the AP, citing CDC numbers. This wasn’t posted until Nov 4th of 2022! Two days ago. Almost two full yrs after these deaths all occurred. If you can sense anger & frustration as I type, let me explain: In March 2021, if you look back in …

No one in this world has it all figured out. I curate my feed so that I’m able to look at & read what others share – but most of what I follow is folks who are genuine/real/raw. Since we’ve been given these little boxes where we can preach from, there’s been an over-abundance of …
There’s so much nuance here that has to be discussed. 4-5 yrs ago, before getting into MH advocacy, I may’ve reacted to this story very differently. I may’ve reacted emotionally, the way Phil Mushnick from the NY Post did yesterday in his article (slide 7➡️) entitled “Kyrie Irving Can Go To Hell W/ His Anti-Semitic …
Today’s post comes from the discussions resulting from yesterday’s post abt the how the Spurs released their 2nd yr player, Josh Primo. I’ll get back to that story below. So often – in schools, offices, out in the community, we judge ppl’s behaviors & offer/dole out punitive damages, w/o considering what underlies the behaviors. Before …
For far too long in MH, athletes, entertainers, & the media have focused the on disorder labels & their corresponding fixes. A simple sales formula: I’m so & so w X label, & I’ve used Y to heal. (So if you have X, you should seek out Y to heal as well). When John Wall …
Today’s SameHere Hero Story: Andrew Wilson When I was 13 years old I was raped. I hid and suppressed what happened to me for the next 30 years of my life. My trauma impacted all of my social interactions and personal relationships as well as my personal behavior. The trauma I experienced was extremely confusing …
Short one today, & it feels so good to be able to post a short one – specifically bc – the athlete/celeb is – THEMSELVES sharing the “stuff” & not just the label & treatment. Carey in revealing more as time goes on, lists the “stuff”: losing in the finals (not achieving goals), a surgery/injury, …
