We drink alcohol to escape our reality. We use drugs to escape our reality. I explore the trauma and mental health problems that are the reasons for that need to escape. In this podcast, I interview guests that have gone through hell and back but kept going. In turn, they have transformed into human beings who love themselves, warts and all. Let me share with you how we manage to live a life that most of us could not even dream of in the midst of our trauma. The past does not equal the future. Every second gives you a new opportunity for change, and only you determine the right direction in your life.

    505 Ken Kunken: 50 Years of Challenging How The US Sees & Treats Disabled People

    In 1970, while a junior in Cornell University’s College of Engineering, Ken Kunken broke his neck making a tackle on a kick-off in a lightweight football game against Columbia University. Ken sustained a spinal cord injury at the C 4-5 level, rendering him a quadriplegic, almost totally paralyzed from the shoulders down. Ken spent more than 9 months in various hospitals and rehabilitation facilities. While still a patient, Ken testified before a United States Senate Sub-Committee on Health Care, chaired by Senator Edward Kennedy. In 1971, almost 20 years before the Americans with Disabilities Act, Ken returned to the Cornell campus, where he completed his undergraduate degree in Industrial Engineering. Ken estimates that he had to be pulled up or bounced down close to 100 steps just to attend his first day of classes. Ken is the first quadriplegic to graduate from Cornell University. Upon graduation, Ken decided to change his career goal. He wanted to work with and help people, particularly those with disabilities. Ken went on to earn a Master of Arts degree at Cornell in education and a Master of Education degree at Columbia University in psychology. Ken is the first quadriplegic to earn a graduate degree from Cornell University. In 1977, Ken was hired by Abilities Inc. in Albertson, NY to be its College Work Orientation Program Coordinator. Ken coordinated a program which provided educationally related work experiences for severely disabled college students. He also maintained a vocational counseling caseload of more than 20 severely disabled individuals. While working at the Center, Ken became a nationally certified rehabilitation counselor and made numerous public presentations on non-discrimination, affirmative action and employment of the disabled. In 1977, Ken was named the Long Island Rehabilitation Associations “Rehabilitant of the Year” and in 1979 Ken was the subject of one of the Reverend Norman Vincent Peale’s nationally syndicated radio broadcasts “The American Character”. Wanting to accomplish still more, Ken enrolled in Hofstra University’s School of Law, where he earned a Juris Doctor degree in 1982. Ken then went to work as an assistant district attorney in Nassau County, Long Island. Ken was promoted a number of times during his more than 40 years with the District Attorney’s Office, eventually becoming one of the Deputy Bureau Chiefs of the County Court Trial Bureau, where he helped supervise more than 20 other assistant district attorneys. In addition, over his years working in the Office, Ken supervised more than 50 student interns. In 1996 Ken received the Honorable Thomas E. Ryan, Jr. Award presented by the Court Officers Benevolent Association of Nassau County for outstanding and dedicated service as an Assistant District Attorney. In 1999, Ken was awarded the George M. Estabrook Distinguished Service Award presented by the Hofstra Alumni Association, Inc. Beginning in 2005, for nine consecutive years, “The Ken Kunken Most Valuable Player Award” was presented annually by The Adirondack Trust Allegiance Bowl in Saratoga Springs, NY, in recognition of Ken’s personal accomplishments, contributions to society and extraordinary courage. In 2009, Ken became a member of the Board of Directors of Abilities Inc., and in 2017 he became a member of the Board of Directors for the parent company of Abilities Inc., the Viscardi Center. In 2020, Ken was inducted into “The Susan M. Daniels Disability Mentoring Hall of Fame,” as a member of the class of 2019. In March 2024, Ken was named one of the Long Island Business News Influencers in Law. Ken retired from full-time employment in 2016, but continued to work with the District Attorney’s Office for the next eight years in a part time capacity, providing continuing legal education lectures and litigation guidance. For years, Ken has tried to inspire people to do more with their lives. In October 2023, Ken’s memoir “I Dream of Things That Never Were: The Ke

One half of families have someone struggling with substance abuse or mental health issues, but only about 10% of those hurting people are getting any help.

STEPS is a nonprofit organization that provides easy-to-use resources to help people understand and deal with issues including addiction, recovery, mental health, living effectively, and personal well-being. We also have a strong focus on helping families by reaching parents and other caregivers as well as each individual in the familyIn Steve Ward’s words: I struggled with alcoholism and other members of my family dealt with substance abuse, mental health issues, and other problems as well. But I saw there are proven ways to not only prevent behavioral health issues but to live life better. Those dark times led me to leave the business world after 38 years and found a new nonprofit ministry to help people improve their lives and prevent compulsive issues from robbing them and their family of the peace and joy they deserve. I have spoken to, taught, coached, and shared content with many thousands of people to help them take steps toward a positive future.

    503 Satya Sardonicus: help your body get over trauma so your mind can follow

    While there are plenty of doctors who find incredible solutions for their patients without living through the experience themselves, there’s something special that happens when the solution was developed by someone who has experienced the same struggle too.My guest today is Dr. Satya Sardonicus, a chiropractor and expert in the neurobiology of stress. She developed the NeuroFascial Flow Method as a way to save her own life after more than a decade of suffering from a crazy list of symptoms. Symptoms like chronic fatigue, anxiety and depression, POTS, fibromyalgia, drop attacks, sensory overload and more.The root cause of her symptoms ended up being Cerebellar Tonsillar Ectopia (CTE) or chiari - a brain herniation that put her nervous system into a constant state of fight or flight and drained her body’s resources.So here’s the interesting part - today she lives 95% symptom free but her brain might actually still be herniated. So one of the things we’re going to discuss that will be interesting to everyone listening is “how important is it to find the root cause of your illness”?Dr. Satya (as she’s known by her more than 50K TikTok followers) has been sharing tips for free on social media and joins us today to talk about how to help your brain become more receptive to change and healing. 3 Top Tips 1 easy somatic practice to interrupt a stress loop in its tracksThe 5 steps to facilitate change that actually lasts (and doesn't boomerang your symptoms worse)An alternative framework to understand anxiety + depression as your brain doing something ADAPTIVE and intelligent - not broken Social Mediahttps://go.drsatyawellness.com/waitlist https://www.tiktok.com/@drsatyawellness https://www.instagram.com/drsatyawellness/https://go.drsatyawellness.com/waitlist NeuroFascial Flow Method, healing chronic illness, anxiety relief, trauma healing, chronic pain, self healing

    500 John David Graham: From Homeless To Business Owner To Author - A Second-Chance Journey

    I have always been a curious person. Try taking a new road, a different direction, another adventure—or maybe failure. As a result, I have gone from homelessness to a business owner to a published author. Along the way I was a door-to-door salesman, children’s home counselor, substitute school teacher, truck driver, fireman, building contractor, minister and journalist.Eventually I hit my stride at 53 when I started GOOD SAMARITAN HOME, a non-profit agency helping people restart their lives after prison. But there was a lot of resistance to our program, requiring years of legal conflict, community networking, and just plain hard work. Initially our budget was $5,000 with just one program house. Now we have 19 houses, a staff of 10 people, and a $2 million budget by constantly asking the question: “What is the need in the community, and how can we help meet that need?”Then at 61, I finished my doctorate to better help me live our motto in the street where it was needed most. At 75, I published my debut novel called RUNNING AS FAST AS I CAN, a fictionalized story of one man’s journey to overcome an abusive background to find forgiveness and love. But even publishing was no easy journey. My novel was rejected nearly 200 times. But now it has garnered 23 awards, including the prestigious 2024 StoryTrade Book Award for debut novel of the year.Finally, at 76, on a lark, I saw an advertisement for extras in the television series “1923” being filmed nearby, and submitted my name and was hired. Now I can add “actor” to my resume—although I don’t plan on moving to Hollywood anytime soon!So I am very familiar with second, third and fourth chances that many of us need to reach our goals. It is in developing what I call "calloused hands and a tender heart" along the journey. 3 Top Tips:If I were to offer advice to someone just starting his/her journey, I would say to remember that success NEVER comes overnight. It is a marathon, not a sprint. Above all, keep your eyes on your goal, AND ALWAYS PICTURE YOURSELF GETTING THERE.Life is a marathon, not a sprint. Always keep running. Life is written in pencil. We get lots of second chances. It is our failures that develop the calloused hands and tender heart needed for success.

And based on the reader reactions thus far, it is the focus of the lives of many people as well.Life is written in pencil. We get lots of second, third and fourth chances.

    499 Bev Mitelman: Your Attachment Style Predicts The Quality Of Your Relationships

    As a child, Bev lived in a very unpredictable and chaotic environment where she never knew if she could rely on her parents to meet her emotional needs. This led her to absorb unhealthy relationship ideas based on what she was witnessing: she believed relationships were supposed to be unbalanced, uncertain, and overall chaotic. If you have an insecure attachment style, you probably relate to her experience, and navigating relationships can be particularly difficult for you.Prior to becoming a Certified Attachment Practitioner and founding Securely Loved, Bev was an Executive Leader, University Lecturer and published author, having obtained her Masters' Degree in 2006. She has dedicated her entire career (25+ years) working with adults in the realm of personal growth and professional development. 3 Top Tips why attachment styles matterhow attachment styles show up in relationshipsmoving towards secure attachment Social Mediawww.securelyloved.comIG: @securely_lovedTikTok: @securely_lovedYouTube: @SecurelyLoved Take the free online attachment style quiz at www.securelyloved.com, or book a free 20 minute intro consultation at www.securelyloved.com/bookings
