September is National Recovery Month, which is now in its 30th year celebrating those in recovery and people working in the treatment and recovery fields. We're all in recovery from something at some point in our lives, and this is important to remember to have compassion when other people are struggling.  If you need help finding help, please visit http://AdvancedRecoveryResources.com. 

Rather than pointing out what is wrong with religions, maybe we should celebrate what is right about them and question why ours are telling people that other human beings aren't as deserving of love. Instead of criticizing beliefs, I think we can isolate the harmful actions and focus on the benefits of religious practices, of agnostics, spiritualists, atheists, and other communities and help reform acts of judgment and hate and turn them into acts of love for one another.

With the rising student loan debt, I think it is worth a conversation about the social and economic results of traditional four-year degrees vs. specialized job training and certification.

In Episode 2 of what was originally called the Support For Guys podcast, we take a look at what to do when you feel like your back is against the wall. We talk about grit, resilience, awareness and much more. Thanks for listening!

This is the inaugural podcast by Lucas Catton.  This was originally called "The Support For Guys Podcast," but has since changed its name to be all-encompassing, though continuing the purpose across all genders and identities. There aren't enough resources where people can talk about things on a deeper level with more meaning and less judgment. This is an attempt to open up more conversations about living and to provide a venue for support.

The first episode also includes read thing "We Are All People, A Children's Book About Tolerance," as well as some background about the book.
