  • Hungry for Praise

    Identity, who are we? What are we?

    Episode 11 I explore the concept of identity and how I am struggling with my own, seeing that as a possible connection to my struggling with my mental health.

    THERE IS A BONUS! At the end of the episode there's a surprise! I include a song that I was working on with the late Gerard Smith. I found a couple songs, the one you will hear is called "Free" I wrote it while healing from my bike accident where I broke my pelvis, the injury that would lead to my struggles with opioid addiction. It's meant to capture the feelings I was going through at the time, feeling stir crazy and like I was going insane. I wasn't initially diagnosed with a broken pelvis. Woodhull is one of the worst hospitals and I was sent there initially, 2 weeks later when I still couldn't walk Gerard took me to St. Vincents where I was properly diagnosed.

    Gerard Smith mixed and recorded the instruments, I wrote and sang the song. RIP Gerry, I wish we could have finished and mostly I wish you were still with us.

  • The Forgotten Ones with Paula Fontenelle

    TW: Todays episode we discuss suicide, listen with care.

    September is National Suicide Awareness & Prevention month and what better way to start the month than with Paula Fontenelle. She is host of the podcast 'Understand Suicide', she is an author of the book 'Understanding Suicide' Living with Loss, Paths to Prevention. She has a great YouTube channel for her podcast as well as being a survivor of suicide, loosing her father.

    Loosing her father is what created this desire to understand suicide, all the complexities and to try to provide as much advocacy and resource for those left behind. She has created a special course for "the forgotten ones." The ones who care for for those struggling. Through ways to communicate, what type of questions and how to ask, and when it is time to protect yourself by getting outside help to intervene.

    If you or someone you know is struggling, please know you are NOT ALONE. I have attached Paula's website, podcast and YouTube links. The National Suicide Hotline is 1-800-273-8255.

    In honor of those gone, still struggling, and the survivors of suicide for the month of September I would like to do each Wed. of the month sharing your stories. If you would like to be on my show and share your experience please email at [email protected].

    YOU ARE LOVED. Thank you for the support and I have also linked all my information below.
