Today's guest is someone I discovered on social media, and I'm so excited to get to know her. She's a mom by day, and a social worker by heart, who is about to drop her first book! In today's episode, I'm interviewing Lindsey Konchar, a licensed social worker who pivoted to stay at home mom during the pandemic, and now author! We're chatting about her catchy and funny new book: "I've Got 99 Coping Skills, and Being a Bitch Ain't One." If you love actionable tips backed by research with a side of pop culture references this book (and podcast interview) is for you!

What's in this episode:

• Lindsey's Pre Pandemic Career.
• What Inspired "I've Got 99 Coping Skills…"
• Why Happiness Isn't Always the Goal.
• The Challenges of First Time Motherhood During the Pandemic.
• Why Therapy Doesn't Have to Be a Lifetime Commitment.
• What Is Geocaching? (And Why It's a Featured Coping Skill.)

ABOUT LINDSEY KONCHAR

Lindsey Konchar is a licensed graduate social worker, which basically means she brings some credentialed experience to the mental health world. Now, she is a mom by day and social worker by heart! While she would have been thrilled to be a stay-at-home mama, she knew she couldn't lose who she was along the way. That was vital. Lindsey found a way to use the clinical skills she had developed in her practice and hold on to the work she loves so much - write a freakin' book!

I Got 99 Coping Skills and Being a B*tch Ain't One is a quippy, evidence-based guide to help individuals find better, healthy coping skills. We all know life can be unimaginably challenging. It brings stress and grief, anxiety and angst, but that doesn't mean we should lose hope. By using the small, simple, actionable steps in I Got 99 Coping Skills and Being a B*tch Ain't One, listeners can find what uniquely works for them to optimize their life!

Today's guest is someone I met through the boutique. I've been really enjoying getting to know her business through a social media lens. I find her approach to health in alignment with my goals, and I personally can't wait to become a client.

In today's episode, I'm interviewing Dr. Amber Manning, DNP, APRN, FNP-C of Affinity Wellness. Her outlook on health and wellness is simple: find the root cause and fix it. She explains what holistic and integrated care is, why your goals are her goals, and how your mindset/gut/nutrition all play a role in your mental and physical health.

What's in this episode:

• What Is Holistic and Integrated Care.
• Why You Need to Find the Cause, Not Just Treat the Symptom.
• The Importance of a Healthy Gut.
• Nutrition: Cooking for Yourself (and Your Family)
• How to Calculate the Amount of Water YOU Need Daily.
• 21 Day Reset.

ABOUT AMBER

Dr. Amber Manning, DNP, APRN, FNP-C is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, with nearly 20 years experience as a nurse and nearly 10 years as a nurse practitioner in various settings. Her outlook on health and wellness is simple: find the root cause and fix it. She is able to do this with connection and building a relationship by getting to know her clients not just in a medical sense, but know and understand their deepest desires, big scary goals, and what they want out of life and IN their lives. Dr. Manning draws her inspiration not just for how she approaches care but WHY she approaches care in this way from her grandmothers. Both of them knew how to take care of people. And isn't taking care of people the goal?! Dr. Manning has been married for 6 years and has 3 daughters who range in age from 4 months to 13 years old. She recently self-published her guided Journal, "GREAT, As I Am," available on Amazon. Running is her therapy and she ran her entire pregnancy. In fact, she ran a 5k 2 weeks before giving birth. Additionally, she loves to read, write, spend time with her family at the beach, pool, and camping with a red glass of red wine of course.

Today's special guest is involved with an organization that I've been spending time getting to know on a personal level. Annie Slease is the Director of Advocacy & Education at NAMI Delaware. I wanted to bring Annie on to the podcast to introduce herself and share more about NAMI.

In today's episode, Annie explains what NAMI is along with the services it provides. She also shares her personal journey that led her to NAMI and ultimately becoming a staff member.

What's in this episode:

• What Is NAMI DE?
• Annie's Personal Journey to NAMI.
• Mental Health Statistics.
• Mental Health and the Younger Generation.
• The Importance of Validating and Processing Emotions.
• How the Pandemic Has Impacted Mental Health.

ABOUT ANNIE

Annie Slease, M.Ed., is the Director of Advocacy & Education at NAMI Delaware. After a 25-year career as a classroom teacher, she joined the NAMI Delaware staff in 2017, inspired by her experience as a parent navigating mental health crises without adequate information or support and then finding herself navigating the criminal justice system, as well.

At NAMI Delaware, Annie leads the Advocacy & Education Team, responsible for programs, outreach, and advocacy statewide. Annie is a certified trainer of several national, evidence-based mental health and suicide prevention programs, and she contributes to efforts statewide on mental-health focused topics including: school safety, suicide prevention, family education and support, youth and adult services, and Delaware crisis response. She consults with policy leaders and testifies for legislation that will improve the lives affected by mental illness in Delaware. Last August she celebrated the Governor's signing of HB 100 – a bill bringing elementary school mental health professionals up to nationally recommended ratios. Similarly, this year she is advocating for HB 300 which focuses on middle schools. Annie serves on several statewide committees, including her position as Mental Health Lead for the Delaware School-Based Health Alliance, and she is a member of the Delaware Behavioral Health Crisis Care Task Force and the Education Committee of the Lt. Governor's Behavioral Health Consortium.

She and her husband Tom are co-parents to 5 adult children ranging in age from 21-29 who live in Seattle, Charlotte, New York City, and Philadelphia. Annie and Tom share their empty nest in Newark with their cat Daisy and their pandemic puppy Penny Rose.
