    PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 337 Shawn LaRe Brinkley Living Loved Healing

    Shawn LaRé Brinkley, MS, LMFT, is a licensed marriage and family therapist and the visionary CEO and President of Living Loved Healing. With over a decade of clinical experience, she has dedicated her career to understanding the "why" behind the human experience, working with individuals and couples to navigate the complexities of trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Her practice is founded on the belief that healing is an organic, fluid process, and she employs an eclectic range of therapeutic modalities—including art, music, and movement—to meet her clients exactly where they are. Guided by the wisdom, "To she whom much is given, much is required," Shawn has built a reputation as a fierce advocate for those facing the deepest of struggles. Her professional journey includes extensive work with survivors of domestic violence, human sex trafficking, and childhood sexual abuse, as well as families grappling with the loss of loved ones to homicide, suicide, and systemic violence. She brings a unique combination of clinical rigor and profound empathy to her work, creating a safe, intentional space where clients can uncover their true selves before trauma shaped their narratives. As a clinician, Shawn prioritizes "psychological flexibility," helping her clients develop the resilience needed to remain present and engaged even when life becomes difficult. Her work extends beyond the therapy room; she is an active public speaker and consultant on critical topics such as suicide prevention, bullying, and human sex trafficking awareness. By fostering a culture of safety, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, she empowers her clients to transition from a place of feeling "stuck" or disconnected to a life of hope and deep, personal fulfillment.

    PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 336 Andrea Suchin Wuggles

    Andrea Suchin is a dedicated caregiver advocate, entrepreneur, and the visionary founder of Wuggle™ (https://wuggleme.com/), a wellness company centered on improving nervous-system health through restorative sleep. Her professional mission is deeply rooted in her personal history; after her husband, Craig, was diagnosed with behavioral frontotemporal dementia (FTD) at age 54, Andrea’s world shifted overnight. While raising four children, she transitioned into a full-time caregiving role, navigating the brutal realities of a progressive, terminal illness that stripped away the life she and her husband had built together. The years that followed were defined by extreme stress, sleepless nights, and the profound, anticipatory grief of watching a loved one slowly disappear. As she balanced the complex demands of medical advocacy, financial strain, and protecting her family, Andrea reached a breaking point where her own health began to fail. It was in this "survival mode" that she realized the critical necessity of rest—not just as a luxury, but as a lifeline required to continue the work of love and caregiving.

    PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 333 Jeremy Hamburgh Social Life 360

    Jeremy Hamburgh is a California-based coach and the founder of My Best Social Life, an organization dedicated to helping neurodivergent adults develop the skills necessary to find community, friendship, and romantic connections. Before transitioning into his current role, Jeremy served as a prosecutor in New York City, where he honed his ability to communicate persuasively. He draws a direct parallel between winning over a jury in a courtroom and succeeding in a social setting, noting that skills like telling compelling stories, asking insightful questions, and active listening are magnetic in both environments. Jeremy’s journey into coaching began at the JCC in Manhattan, where he facilitated popular dating workshops. It was during these sessions that he realized many of his attendees were autistic and neurodivergent, leading him to work extensively with the Adaptations Program at the Silver Center for Special Needs. This hands-on experience provided him with invaluable insights, which he used to launch MyBestSocialLife.com and develop his signature Social Life 360 program.

    Sunny Stone is a multifaceted artist, producer, and filmmaker whose work is as profound as her journey of survival is resilient. Born in New York, Sunny’s early childhood was defined by unimaginable adversity. After being kidnapped and subsequently abandoned by her mother, who struggled with severe mental illness and substance addiction, Sunny and her older brother were forced to navigate a world that offered them little protection. At just three years old, they were placed in the care of a relative who treated them with cold indifference, forcing them to survive on the fringes of a home where they were permitted only to sleep. Between the ages of six and eight, Sunny endured further harrowing experiences as a survivor of physical abuse and commercial sexual exploitation, all while facing extreme malnutrition in Brooklyn.
