This topic of July 4th…& especially whether it’s acknowledged or not, absolutely impacts mental health – for the collective. I did some research yesterday: the avg length a new country’s constitution stays in place before it’s abolished or removed is 17 yrs. 17! American has surpassed that by 230. If you take a big pic …
These mental health journeys we’re all on are so hard, bc “what” we’re supposed to do can so often feel counter-intuitive. During periods when you start to feel better, your mind naturally goes – “Alright, maybe I’m getting back to me…maybe I’m in a groove…maybe I’ve finally reached a place I can coast.” On the …
We do events all the time…anyone in the advocacy space does them pretty consistently…& we leave ways for folks to contact us. Some of us even leave out cards & we don’t even know who takes them bc they are left out on a table for anyone to grab. A lot of the time the …
How many times in your life have you gotten chills because there was a shared moment of human connectivity, compassion, togetherness. It doesn’t get talked abt much any more, bc there aren’t many examples. I remember after 9/11, living in NYC, what that shared human connection felt like. Cars stopped for pedestrians to cross…ppl carrying …
Progress can happen in many different ways…& employers (in this case a very public pro sports team) encouraging employees to “prioritize the pause” while they are given a window of time to heal, & their job is safe, is a HUGE step forward. Twins pitcher Jorge López was excellent in April, appearing in 13 games …

Something I don’t share often here, but do in my talks, is what happened when I went inpatient – a “psych ward” – bc of how dire my situation was. 52 med combos over 2.5 yrs, then TMS therapy which led me to the psych ward (granted diff things work for diff ppl, it just …

Sports is such a great metaphor for life. There are so many themes we can learn from. Countless examples in sports of men & women who’ve come back from physical injury, who were lauded as heroes. Just happened in the SC Final w the Knights & Jack Eichel – who came back from disc replacement …
Gonna get personal in this one…but gonna start off a little more general: I love this time of yr in sports, specifically in the hockey world, when we crown a new Stanley Cup champion. Why, even when it’s not my team (typically the case ;))? It’s bc if you look at the trajectory of MOST …

In Nov of 2017 we hosted a launch event. NHL Great, Theo Fleury & I were being interviewed by CBS’s Marla Diamond, & were asked the boilerplate question that always gets asked in this space: “With 1 in 5 ppl suffering w mental illness…are you hoping to make the world aware of how common this …
It” is one of the most disconcerting, awful feelings ever. For those of us who’ve had MH crashes, you remember clearly what the fear of “it” is like. What is this? Why can’t I think straight or function? Why’s my ‘normal’ daily routine such a struggle – remembering to brush my teeth/shower?? Then all the …
