    Becoming Blind at 17 and Finding Purpose with Kevin Lowe

    Becoming Blind at 17 and Finding Purpose with Kevin Lowe In 2003, Kevin Lowe's life changed forever. At just 17, as he began his junior year of high school, everything seemed to be going perfectly. But that same year, he was diagnosed with a non-cancerous brain tumor the size of a plum, located in the center of his brain, pressing against his optic nerve and carotid artery. His doctors warned him that without surgery, he had only six months to live. They reassured him the procedure was routine, with nothing to worry about, and he would be back in school within weeks. However, on October 3rd, when Kevin went into surgery, he had no idea it would be the last time he'd ever see the faces of his loved ones. For the next 10 years, Kevin fought every day to accept the fact that he would be completely blind for the rest of his life. The first year after losing his sight was all about survival. But after that, Kevin was determined to rediscover his love for life. Through this process, he grew incredibly close to his family, who supported one another in healing from the shared trauma. Kevin worked through his anger, relied on his faith, and leaned on his family as he chose to live life to the fullest. He pursued a radio career, learned to navigate the world using echolocation, started a travel agency, and eventually transitioned into podcasting. Podcasting became a way for Kevin to help the sighted world understand what it’s like to "see" through his perspective. Throughout his journey, Kevin has learned that we are all on our own unique timelines and that there’s always a rainbow after the rain. “Sometimes God answers our prayers in ways we don’t expect.” In this episode, you'll hear: Kevin’s story of losing his sight at 17 and what it’s like to live with blindness The pivotal role of faith, family, and fun in his healing journey How echolocation gave Kevin a new way to "see" Kevin’s advice for anyone going through a dark time Follow the podcast:  Listen on Apple Podcasts (link: https://apple.co/3s1YH7h)  Listen on iHeart (link: https://ihr.fm/3MEY7FM)  Listen on Spotify (Link: https://spoti.fi/3yMmQCE)    Resources: Dr. David Leicken, MD Grit Grace and Inspiration  No Barriers by Erik Weihenmayer   Connect with Mathew Blades:  Twitter - twitter.com/MathewBlades Instagram - instagram.com/MathewBladesmedia/  Facebook - facebook.com/mathewbladesmedia/  Website - learnfrompeoplewholivedit.com/   Additional Credits: LFPWLI is managed by Sam Robertson

    Get Unstuck through Movement Therapy with LCPC Erica Hornthal

    Get Unstuck through Movement Therapy with LCPC Erica Hornthal In this episode, you'll hear: How dance and movement therapy connects us to the present and disconnects us from the worry The different types of movement therapy and how Erica helps people overcome insecurities Why Erica created the 52 Movement Therapy Cards  Practical ways to tune with your body today and A.C.E. your mental health  Erica Hornthal is known as "The Therapist Who Moves You." She is a board-certified dance and movement therapist, a licensed clinical professional counselor, and the founder and CEO of Chicago Dance Therapy in Chicago, Illinois. Erica grew up in New Jersey and is an only child who has been independent and wise beyond her years. She was also a rather anxious child who fell in love with dance at a young age. That love of dance taught her how to be in her body rather than ruminate in her thoughts.  On July 4, 2022, a mass shooter targeted a parade in downtown Highland Park, Illinois, killing seven people and physically wounding 48 others. During this time when Erica was offering crisis counseling services to survivors and those impacted by the tragedy, she found the devastation, terror, and utter disbelief on people’s faces were surpassed only by the rigidity, constriction, and tension present in their bodies. It became clear to her that people seeking emotional support, as well as the volunteers, had one thing in common that nobody was addressing—their nervous systems were in utter distress. They needed to relearn how to feel safe in the moment and safe in their bodies. This realization led her to create her 52 Movement Therapy cards, which can be incorporated into a daily somatic ritual or pulled as needed in times of stress, worry, or dissociation. Movement precedes thought patterns and therefore can help us create new thought patterns. It can teach us how to stop overthinking and start deeply feeling, allowing us to move through those feelings. If you are stuck, metaphorically or literally, the only way to get unstuck is to move.  In this episode, Mathew and Erica discuss the story of the body and why the way we move has such an impact on how we feel and how we act. Erica tells us what movement therapy looks like in her practice, how she helps people overcome their insecurities, and how becoming more aware of your body empowers you to develop a better understanding of your feelings. Erica explains movement therapy is for anyone who feels like they have reached a plateau in traditional forms of psychotherapy, don't know how to find the words to express how they are feeling, or do not have access to formal language.   “If you want to change the way you think, you have to change the way you move.” Follow the podcast:  Listen on Apple Podcasts (link: https://apple.co/3s1YH7h)  Listen on iHeart (link: https://ihr.fm/3MEY7FM)  Listen on Spotify (Link: https://spoti.fi/3yMmQCE)    Resources: EricaHornthal.com  ChicagoDanceTherapy.com  Body Aware book The Movement Therapy Deck   Connect with Mathew Blades:  Twitter - twitter.com/MathewBlades Instagram - instagram.com/MathewBladesmedia/  Facebook - facebook.com/mathewbladesmedia/  Website - learnfrompeoplewholivedit.com/   Additional Credits: LFPWLI is managed by Sam Robertson
