    Advocacy - From the Trenches

    In this episode, Advocacy – From the Trenches, we take you inside our lived experience as parents supporting our son through a critical transition in his Schizophrenia treatment. We open up about a deeply personal chapter—supporting our son as he transitioned to new medication for Schizophrenia. My wife and I share what it meant for us to step in, have him stay with us, and walk alongside him through this challenging but important change. We talk about the realities of navigating mental health care as a family, the importance of showing up as advocates for our loved ones, and the lessons we've learned about patience, resilience, and hope. This conversation isn't just about medication—it's about love, advocacy, and standing together through the ups and downs of living with Schizophrenia.

    Advocacy - Not just a Buzzword

    In this 1st episode of three, we dive deep into the power of advocacy—what it means, why it matters, and how each of us can use our voice to create change. Its not just a buzzword, but something real and necessary. Whether you're standing up for a cause, speaking out for others, or championing your own rights, advocacy is more than action—it's a mindset. Join us as we explore how advocacy shows up in big and small ways, and why staying silent isn't an option.

    The Stare - Social Cues

    What does it really mean when someone stares? Is it a sign of curiosity, confrontation, connection—or something else entirely? Wendy and Marvin dive deep into the quiet language we all speak—body language, glances, gestures, and the invisible rules of human interaction. Why do we instantly know when a room goes quiet… or when someone's stare lasts a little too long?
