John and Mike from the JCK Foundation stopped by the studio and we had to press record and just let it go. This is one of the deepest and most authentic conversations I have ever had about mental health and suicide.

*Trigger warning, if you are sensitive to conversations about suicide you may want to skip this episode.

Singer and Songwriter Andrew Neil stopped by Hysteria Radio. We talked about his 3 year mandatory stay in a State Hospital that left him with nothing to do except write his way through it.

During this time, he wrote and recorded 70 songs in his hospital room. Although not perfect recordings (his bio's words, not mine. I thought they were perfect considering the circumstances), they were effective in conveying his melancholy lyrics. Eleven of these songs were selected for inclusion on the Album “Code Purple - Andrew Neil”, which was released by Tree Heart Records on 10 October 2017. Last September Andrew released his latest full-length album, "Merry Go Round."

Andrew Neil is wise beyond his years and his story intertwined with 3 of his original songs; Animals in Zoos, Merry Go Round, and Beautiful Mess, make for an episode you can't miss.

We made it through 2018. On the outside it seems that we are in trying times politically, socially, environmentally, etc... However, there has been a noticeable increase in awareness of mental health organizations, advocates, and the need for improvement of the mental health systems. I am choosing to let go of everything that is out of my control in 2018 and focus on the good going into 2019. I created this episode to focus on some of my favorite moments from the first half of Season 2. I hope you enjoy this show and as always thank you for listening. Wishing you a peaceful Holiday Season and a Happy New Year.



On Today's Show: Latonia Francois, John Palomino, Brook Packard, Diana Cusumano, Jeff Fink, Janine Crowley Haynes, Kristin Walker, Irit Wald, and Joseph Fusaro.

One of my personal favorite tools for self care are Affirmations. Yes, it is important to continue therapy to help process trauma and pain, but it is equally important to practice self-care the other 29 days of the month. Affirmations are a great way to rebuild your foundation and help you to realize that you are worthy and deserving of all the great things that life has to offer. Today I sit down to have a conversation with ThinkUp App's Founder, Irit Wald to discuss her journey with affirmations, as well as my own personal progress and growth over the last 3 years using ThinkUp App. Listen in.
