    All The Wiser Recommends: Last Day

    All The Wiser Recommends: Last Day

    Hi Wise Ones! 
    This week, I’m excited to bring you an episode from a podcast I love from Lemonada Media called Last Day.
    Last Day is a show about the moments that change us, fundamentally and forever. Each week, host Stephanie Wittels Wachs sits down with a new guest to explore happy and sad stories of survival, resilience and transformation. Some “last days” are hopeful. Some are tragic. But at the heart of every “last day” is also a new beginning.
    In the episode you’re about to hear, Stephanie talks to Kate Greene, the sister of a funny brother and the daughter of two loving parents. She’s a lot like Stephanie, especially because she lost her brother Ryan to an overdose. Kate recounts the protective, fiercely loving relationship between them, the way her family orbited around Ryan’s chaos for years preceding his death, and the person she’s become in the years after. Turns out, that person loves running, but she sure does hate Christmas.
    It’s a meaningful conversation and I can’t wait for you to hear it. X Kimi
    To check out more episodes of Last Day, search for the show wherever you get your podcasts or click this link.

    Teen Mental Health Crisis + What is Schizophrenia?

    Teen Mental Health Crisis + What is Schizophrenia?

    Dr. Laura Erickson Scroth, psychiatrist and Chief Medical Officer of The Jed Foundation, joins Kimi to discuss the mental health crisis facing America's teens and young adults.

    Increasing isolation, social media, climate change, social unrest, and an onslaught of online information flooding their brains are wreaking havoc on young adults. By listening, validating their experience, and speaking up when you see a young person showing signs of distress, adults can make a significant difference in the lives of teens.

    Dr. Laura also discusses last week's episode with Michele Gonzales-Reed, explaining how schizophrenia affects approximately 1% of the population and is surrounded by misunderstandings and policies that prevent treatment.

    May is Mental Health Awareness. To learn more and play a part in protecting the emotional health of teens and young adults, click here to visit The Jed Foundation.

Vulnerable conversations

This show is an absolute gem. Kimi’s ability to make her guests comfortable enough to be vulnerable is amazing. And it feels like a privilege to witness these beautiful conversations.
