  • Learn How Education Can Destigmatize Mental Health and Impact the ROR: Return On Relationships with Marla and Dave Thomas
    In this episode, Roxanne converses with Dave and Marla Thomas about mental health advocacy, marriage challenges, and the importance of setting boundaries. They delve into the transition from the honeymoon phase to real life, addressing mental health issues in adult children, and the work of the Loving Beyond Reason Organization.

    “Silent suffering is suffering without the possibility of hope.” Marla Thomas“No matter how dark things get, things can get better.” Dave Thomas

    With so much being said in the media and posted on social media about mental health, the stigma has lessened, but mental health issues are not without preconceived prejudices. With more celebrities speaking out and sharing their own mental health struggles, it’s better, but we’re still nowhere near ending the discrimination that many people face every day. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we welcome Marla and Dave Thomas to share the story of their adult children and how you can help stop the biases.
    Dave Thomas is a 10x Grammy Award-winning member of TAKE6. Marla is a celebrity realtor and motivational speaker. Together, they are fierce and vocal mental health awareness advocates. Married for 35 years, which is nearly unheard of in Hollywood, this power couple has raised three children in the glow of the spotlight - two of them have been diagnosed with a litany of mental health challenges.

    Authentic Touch Points:

    A bit about Marla and Dave. 3:30 Values and respect. 8:00 Staying grounded at home. 13:00 A continued connection. 18:30 Compassion for the diagnosis. 27:00 The stress of division. 37:00 Advice for parents. 44:00 Marla and Dave are dedicated to helping families find resources to care for their loved ones with mental health challenges and ending the stigma attached to mental health. Their foundation, Loving Beyond Reason, is committed to helping people with brain differences become productive and healthy members of their communities.

    According to the Harvard Center for Health Decision Science, the estimate for the global burden of mental disorders is approximately $5 trillion USD. They also estimate that at a regional level, the losses could account for about 8% of the gross domestic product in North America. Just how much of that amount is your company paying out, and what can you save by being proactive?

  • Mindfulness, PTSD and the ROR: Return On Relationships with Brandy Maslowski
    In this episode, Roxanne Derhodge speaks with Brandy Maslowski, a former firefighter turned quilter. They discuss Brandy's challenges and traumas during her firefighting career, the impact of long-term stress, and her experience with PTSD. They also delve into the therapeutic role of quilting in Brandy's healing and the effectiveness of EMDR therapy. The conversation concludes with insights into Brandy's quilting business and the importance of self-care.

    Quote: “Care for yourself first until your cup is overflowing, and then you can give to others as well.” Brandy Maslowski

    Social media and instant access to information can be a good thing, but not always.

    We live in an age where trauma is all around us. Some of us are more affected and closer to trauma than others. First responders are on the front line every day. They see and hear things that are unthinkable to most of us, so how are they supposed to cope with it all? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re thrilled to welcome Brandy Maslowski to share her story of going from firefighter to quilting coach and how mindfulness can help overcome PTSD.

    Brandy Maslowski is a quiltmaker and textile artist who travels the world as a teacher, speaker, author and certified quilt judge. She has curated a portfolio of workshops to nudge the quilter into artfulness. Brandy’s work explores meaningful themes in her life such as trauma using the texture, colour and boundless possibilities of fabric, surface design and stitch.

  • Riding the Wave of Resilience and the ROR: Return On Relationships with Steve Judge
    In this episode, Roxanne talks with Steve Judge about his resilience coaching, life-changing accident, and recovery journey. They discuss overcoming challenges through mindset and support, the role of neurotransmitters in resilience, and Steve's transition to becoming an elite athlete. The episode concludes with insights from Steve's books and a resilience quiz.

    Quote: “Do what helps you to think straight, then you can start taking action.” Steve Judge

    How are you when something traumatic happens? Do you sit and wallow in self-pity? Do you spring into action right away? Or do you take some time, figure out how to proceed and move ahead carefully? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we’re privileged to welcome Resilience Expert Steve Judge to share the journey that took him from sitting in a wheelchair to standing on the stage as a keynote speaker and resilience coach.

    At the age of 28, a devastating car accident left Steve fighting to stay alive and, following life-saving operations, was subsequently told that he may never walk again. However, following a multitude of operations and intensive care from the NHS, he was able to progress forward.

    Not leaning on his excuses, he set goals, turning his excuses into challenges; he eventually learned to stand and walk again. Steve continued his journey, which took him from wheelchair to world champion in the sport of para-triathlon.

    As a professional speaker, author and resilience coach, Steve shares his story to help people, inspire others and motivate many to go confidently on their journey in the direction of their dreams, their GOLD. To experience the happiness and fulfilment of achieving the life that they have imagined and truly deserve, and by doing this, it ensures that the pain and suffering that he endured will not have been in vain. From Steve’s performance, audiences will be inspired to focus on their vision, energized to not lean on their excuses and motivated to turn their excuses into challenges to achieve their GOLD.
