Chris Shaw, CPSS, CFPS, CPRS

Chris grew up in NY City and moved to Stillwater, MN when his mother remarried. He is a 3-tour Navy Veteran and went to U of W River Falls and got his BA in English.

He  toured as a stand-up comedian and struggled with mental health challenges and a near-fatal suicide attempt in 2015. During a treatment stay at the Minneapolis VA Hospital he met a “Peer Support Specialist.” Through that experience, he trained to became a Certified Peer Support Specialist and then founded The HEART and MIND Connection.

QUOTE HIGHLIGHTS

CHRIS: “...not all diseases are visible. And what we're talking about are people walking around who on the outside look perfectly quote unquote normal, and yet are dealing with a crap storm inside of their brain...”

CHRIS:  “...with everything going on and everything being thrown at kids, they just wanna know that they matter.” 

CHRIS:  “Nobody who has a family member who gets cancer, goes, oh my gosh, what did I do that gave them cancer? We just don't do that. And, and we need to stop doing that about mental health.”

CHRIS:  “The past is where depression develops and the future is where anxiety lives. “

PAT: “There is... a generational shift in how mental illness is perceived. Millennials and the Generation Z’s, they're much more accepting and knowledgeable about mental illness than previous generations.”

CHRIS:  “Kindness could be the simplest thing...people say, I don't have any education in mental health and I don't have any experience... Hey, have you ever smiled at somebody? Have you ever asked somebody, how are you - then you have experience.”

In this episode Bella  shares her passion for the scientific method as a powerful tool for creative problem-solving and product innovation.  She candidly talks about the post-COVID workplace with changing employee attitudes and how to use “lean thinking”  to create people-driven innovation, even now.

Bella Englebach,  a trained scientist, is an Associate Partner at New & Improved, an experienced facilitator trained in continuous improvement, creative problem solving and lean product & process development. Bella spent 18 years at Johnson & Johnson, as a process excellence and business improvement leader. She hosts the podcast: “The Edges of Lean.”

QUOTE HIGHLIGHTS

BELLA: “...So we become compartmentalizing, not only in our fields, but how we think about ourselves, how we define ourselves with creativity.”

BELLA: "...that approach of I can't do the work unless I know exactly what the outcome is going to be. And I need the formula to arrive at the outcome... Is only good in school. As soon as you get out into the real world, you're going to be faced with problems where you may know the formula, but the formula doesn't take you all the way. And now you have to start to learn. "

BELLA: "So we have to get used to looking at things and asking questions... as opposed to just criticizing, you know?"

In this episode Sue and Jody talk about the COVID impact on teen mental health, highlighting stressors, behaviors, delayed development, and how schools and organizations responded in the unfolding situation of local/global uncertainty.

Listen as they share about health care professionals, counselors, schools, and outreach venues scrambling to problem solve day-to-day challenges facing teens and their families.

Sue Abderholden is Executive Director of NAMI Minnesota, (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Jody Nelson is  Executive Director of CHANGE INC., a Community & School Collaborative for early intervention and mental health services for at-risk K-12 students in Twin Cities schools.  

QUOTE HIGHLIGHTS

Sue Abderholden:

"I always like to say our mental health system isn't broken. It was never built..."

 Jody Nelson: 

"...one thing in our work is... I just wanna pack around young people as many caring adults, whether that's coaches, mentors ... teachers that are there and available for a teen or a friend of a teen in need to be able to speak to an adult to say, you know, my friend needs help or I need help."Pat Benincasa:

"So for parents wanting to help their teen ... how do you tell the difference between teen angst and moodiness and serious depression or self-harm behavior?"

Jody Nelson:"...reach out and... don't put it on yourself that you also have to be your child's therapist. You are the parent, and there are places that you can ask that question." Sue Abderholden:"Think of all the signs that are up saying, please be nice. Please be nice to my employees. These are the ones that showed up. ...And just think about what kind of world are we in that we have to remind people to be nice. And I think that kind of general feeling that the kids feel it too. And it's, it's not a good thing...As adults, we need to get ourselves in... to shape honestly, and to stop acting that way."LINKS:

In this episode, Mike Montague, host of Playful Humans Podcast talks about how to reset and recharge ourselves through play in a stressed-out world. Somewhere along the way we have lost that kid-like wonder that allows us to have spontaneous, meaningful moments of joy.

Mike Montague is a public speaker, writer, website designer, podcaster, radio show DJ, karaoke host, and MC and DJ for live events, including opening for Billy idol and Frankie Vali.

He hosts the “Playful Humans Podcast” where he interviews professionals who play for a living and do things most people dream of!  He helps adults who are burned out to find flow, fun and fulfillment.

His website, playfulhumans.com has blogs, videos and a free online quiz for you to find out how playful you are.

NOTE: The wheezing sound you hear mid podcast is my asthmatic kitty Darwin Elaine!   :o

QUOTE HIGHLIGHTS

Mike:

"Howard Thurman said: "Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world need is people who have come alive."  And then go do that because what the world needs are more people who have come alive... we don't need more robots. We can build robots. Now we need human beings that are alive and joyful and passionate about their work.”

Mike:

"... like the search engines, that if you search for war and famine and pandemic news, Google will give you more war and famine and pandemic news. If you enter in puppies and kittens and...epic fail videos that make you laugh and feel good, you will get those.

And ...people don't realize is that all of life is like that. If you go around looking for cool people and fun opportunities to play and connect with them, you will find them. If you go looking for jerks and people will take advantage of you...and you will find those too."

Mike:

"It's just that we forget that if we really wanna live our best life, it requires some risk. It requires letting go of control and enjoying what happens."

In this episode, writer Natalie Zett talks about her discovery of a family link to a century-old tragedy and realized that dead is dead, unless it’s not?

This tragedy that killed 844, but somehow was forgotten by history. How did this writer learn to listen to the voice of her teenage great-aunt who perished on July 24, 1915? 

Natalie is an award-winning journalist and genealogy researcher, found a long-hidden mystery in her family’s past. 

The contents of a manilla envelope upended Natalie’s life and “set her on an extraordinary journey shattering her preconceptions about life, death, and family.” After years of painstaking research, literal dead-ends, and wonderful synchronicities, a book was born! Flower In The River is the story of how the ripples from the Eastland Disaster cascaded through four generations of her Eastern European family.

Natalie shares reflections, experiences, and insights from her incredible journey from reluctant author to the teller of a story that only she could hear. What does it mean to dig into family histories with bits and pieces of events not spoken about? How do you listen to the dead? And once the book is written, finding that it requires an unconventional delivery into the world!

In this episode, Mick talks about his published works. He also touches on larger questions for writers—for example, how much of ourselves do we put in our fiction? How do we make characters ring true? And how do we trust our instincts to know when we are ready to tell our story? DailyGood.org wrote of Mick: "His work is compelling, candid, and cuts straight to the heart of what it means to be human, what it means to experience love, loss, limitation, and transcendence." 

Mick Cochrane is a teller of stories. He writes novels, short stories, essays, and poetry  which have  appeared in literary magazines such as The Sun, Kansas Quarterly, and The Cincinnati Review. He has written 4 novels and is Professor of English at Canisius College in Buffalo NY.

His first book Flesh Wounds, published by Doubleday, was a finalist in Barnes & Noble Discover Great Writers Competition. His second novel, Sport, published by Thomas Dunne Books/St. Martin’s and was selected for the annual New York Public Library’s Books for the Teen Age List. 

The Girl Who Threw Butterflies and Fitz are books for young adults. He’s also published critical essays on Raymond Carver, Bob Dylan, baseball literature, and the art of biography, and he’s received grants from the Saltonstall Foundation and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Mick talks about the process of writing that touches on larger questions like how much of ourselves do we put into our fiction? At the heart of this discussion is the power of centering oneself with clarity and intent of why I need to write my book and know who it’s for.

In this episode Karen Haid shares candid insights and stories about living in Calabria. As an Italian speaking “Americana,” she gives a remarkable and memorable, insider’s view of the real Calabria.

Karen Haid, is author of “Calabria: The Other Italy,” which was awarded the Premio Calabria  (Calabria Prize,) and was also a Sons of Italy in America Book Club Selection. Her newest book is “Basilicata: Authentic Italy.” “Calabria: The Other Italy.”

Quotes:

“And so my goal really was to bring people in and what better way than to with stories... I try to give my feelings in a situation, but I also tried to describe it in as accurately or as detailed in a way that I could. So that you would feel as though you were there and perhaps then maybe you might experience it, not just through my eyes, but also with whatever you're bringing to the table.“

“My parents’ lives were enriched by their Italian experience. I grew up with an appreciation for Italy, particularly its food, eating more pasta than sauerkraut and knowing what al dente meant before it was in vogue. I was an americana americana with an affinity for the Italian culture."

“'L’ospite è sacro.' The guest is sacred. This Italian expression comes from the Greeks who believed it was man’s duty to welcome strangers. Calabrians feel as though they own this proverb through their heritage, and often the hospitality involves food in great quantities.”
