More about Terry: https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/terry-mcguire

Short bio: Terry McGuire is a former broadcast journalist/news anchor-turned mental health advocate. After her worst-ever depression she asked herself what would have helped her climb out of the pit earlier. Her answer was hearing from other people who also had depression - without having to join a group or actually interact with other people (because that can be hard in depression.) She then figured out a way to provide that to others still in depression's grips. She founded a non-profit corporation, started Giving Voice to Depression, a weekly podcast, created a supportive online community, and created daily online posts offering information and hope. With the help of a small, passionate team, Terry has been doing that since 2017. Her podcast has had more than one million plays!

In this episode, MommaFoxFire talks with Heroek about Producing Music, Mental Health and his own personal journey. Thank you so much for listening - be sure to like/review/rate/subscribe on your favorite podcast platform - any support is super helpful!

More about Heroek: https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/heroek

Short bio: Heroek is a young music producer and podcast host. After moving from Los Angeles to New York at 13 years old, he struggled with leaving behind almost everyone and everything he knew. But during this hard readjustment period, he found himself struggling with his own mental health, as well as seeing those around him work through their own problems. On top of all this, Heroek has also dealt with anxieties and insecurities about his appearance, as he suffers from severe eczema. Soon after moving, he found comfort in his favorite band’s then-recent album. It made him fall in love with the production side of music, and the connection that could exist between music and storytelling. He began making and posting mashups of some of his favorite songs, which turned into remixing songs, and finally Heroek now releases original music. On top of that, he also hosts his own podcast, “Hero’s Journey”. On the show, Heroek interviews mostly music artists, but anyone in the public eye to discuss how they got to the point they’re at in their career, and (often) the mental health connections behind that journey. Now, Heroek’s goal is to continue making music of his own, as well as with collaborators, that helps send a message of positivity and improving one’s mental health.

In this episode, MommaFoxFire talks with Kathleen Weber about Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping) & Acupressure! Thank you so much for listening - be sure to like/review/rate/subscribe on your favorite podcast platform - any support is super helpful!

More about Kathleen: https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/kathleen-weber

Kathleen earned a Master of Education in Counselor Education from The University of Virginia and was a School Counselor for 25 years - working at all levels k-12 (mostly grades 5-8). In 2016, she was training for a triathlon and learned she could train her body to stretch past my mind’s limitations. In the midst of training, she began experiencing significant fatigue, odd body pains, and erratic body temperature. After being passed around from doctor-to-doctor for 9 months, Kathleen finally learned that she had Lyme Disease with a co-infection of Bartonella. She started working with a practitioner who used Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT/Tapping) to support the underlying emotional struggles that accompanied my chronic health issues. EFT involves tapping on acupressure points while bringing to mind something that has an emotional charge to it. She was able to heal things from her past she didn’t even realize were impacting her in the present moment. 

Kathleen loved EFT so much that she became certified to bring the skills back to her students. Unfortunately, after being back in a school setting, she found that she kept relapsing. She shifted to being a full-time EFT practitioner. Kathleen supports educators who are experiencing burnout and trains educators on how to incorporate EFT into a school setting. This work is beautiful and completely aligned with her higher purpose!
