InvisiYouth Chat Sessions

Get all the goodies (both food and life-related) with our special guest, award-winning home cook, TV personality and creator of Dish it Girl, Dina Deleasa Gonsar. With Dina’s approach of creating recipes that fuse her Italian family traditions with a modern twist, she’s made the prospect of having fun in the kitchen approachable to her over 129k Instagram followers! And she uses her platform to connect with other young people and parents being open and honest in advocating about the journey of postpartum depression, anxiety and how to empower yourself to keep growing.

Here’s the Top Four Takeaways from the podcast:
At 3:28 Dina and Dominique get talking about why Dina decided to completely shift careers away from being a school counselor to a professional home cook, the traits that carried over from education to culinary work, and why it’s valuable for all future entrepreneurs to know how to evolve their schedules based on their seasons in life and create their own ‘flex hours’ for each day.
At 19:57 the ladies open up with advice on how to find ways to be empowered when bouts of anxiety or depression come into your days, the reasons Dina opened up about her journey with postpartum depression and believes removing the absolutes of “always” and “never” are game-changers in your well-being.
Intermission is STORY TIME at 42:03 and we get the behind-the-scenes treatment when Dina shares about some fun stories about her time filming the reality TV show “Married to Jonas” and one particular camping episode that exemplifies why Dina won’t be camping anytime soon.
Final segment at 49:27 we get into the kitchen—sorta—and talk all things cooking, Dina’s first mastered dish, cooking disasters that actually shape her growth as a cook, fan favorite recipes, what type of cooking Dina still wants to try and her top tip for all new cooks.

Creators and hosts of Two Disabled Dudes Podcast, Sean Baumstark and Kyle Bryant on the episode, both live with a rare disease called Friedreich’s Ataxia, and competed in several long distance bike rides like Race Across America, which was featured in the award-winning documentary “The Ataxian.” Since starting Two Disabled Dudes in 2016, Kyle and Sean have released over 200 episodes, framing their show around having insightful conversations with humor with special guests across the rare disease, public speaking, athlete space and beyond to show anyone can live a life defined by their own terms. 

Here’s the Top Four Takeaways from the podcast: 

1. At 3:56, Sean, Kyle and Dominique get chatting about the origin of Two Disabled Dudes and what’s kept them excited for over 200 episodes, how being diagnosed in young adulthood framed the way they’ve grown in life, and lots of great pieces of advice on being a multi-hyphenated worker and needing to find success in that all important work-life balance. 
2. At 23:32 the trio dishes out the topic and guest they’d love to have on their show, how the best tools to get into podcasting are the most affordable (and free!) and each give their advice on how to best be prepared when starting a new passion project like a podcast show.  
3. Intermission is STORY TIME at 42:03 gets real as they share stories about their experiences with taxis and why those complicated yet humorous situations may even lead to a feature film about taxis and disability. 
4. And we end the episode at 49:03 Sean and Kyle get majorly empowering and talk about how prominent cycling has become in their lives and why every person, especially those with a chronic illness or disability, should find their activity that lets them feel freedom, and give their tangible advice for how to find fun and accomplishment in your work when you’re doing it for a long time.

11th InvisiYouth Chat Sessions: Audio Flash Files gives you a boost of life advice and perspectives that’ll provide empowering tools you can practically incorporate into your life for more success and joy.

We’re honing in on the relationship and communication with our friends. These are people that often become our chosen family, and they evolve throughout our life. But maintaining friendships, allowing the friend-dynamic to thrive in ways that serve both of you while still having fun in your friendships.

 Founder Dominique lays out the facts of what makes friendships and acquaintances primarily different, and why it’s even valuable to have less friends because you use less energy. We drill down the thinking points on how you should harness strength in your friends, and how they can actually hold different positions in your life as you evolve with it. And the two main reasons why you can deal with stressors and miscommunication issues with friends when you’re a young adult. Plus, Dominique drops a major rationale on how this miscommunication blocker actually formulates when you’re a young person living with chronic illness and disability. 

But how to make the most of your friendships and create the best ones? InvisiYouth teaches the technique of Easter Egg Theory (yes, we’re talking like BTS and Taylor Swift-level Easter eggs) and lays out the super simple steps to drop those easter eggs in chats with friends—new and old—to divvy out which friends serve you best in which arenas of your life and which might not serve at all. It all tops off with Dominique’s university life story of leaving out her own Easter Eggs and parameters with friends and how one particular friend’s failure on the investigative theory actually worked in the benefit of their friendship. 
 
 Let's get talking and make your relationship with your friends one of ease, success, joy, and always dropping your easter eggs to see where your friends fall best in your life in order for friendships to have fun and continuous growth in strengthening the bond!

Welcome back to a new season of InvisiYouth Chat Session, we’re in Season 5 and jumping right in with our chat shot-styled podcast with the first of our incredible lineup of special guests. This guy embodies the mindset of the power of sports, it’s two-time Paralympic Sled Hockey Gold Medalist, Jack Wallace.  After a boating accident resulted in Jack having a partial right leg amputation, Jack leaned on his love of sports, specifically ice hockey, to reclaim the passions in his life. He now plays with the US Hockey National Sled Hockey team, national titles and Paralympic medals under his belt, along with training to compete in paracanoe.

Here’s the Top Four Takeaways from the podcast:

1. At 3:30, Jack and Dominique talk about a subject they both relate to and thousands of young people with illness/disability experience: the divide in life with pre and post chronic-illness or disability. Jacks talks about adjusting to life after his accident and how to tackle those ‘what if’ thoughts when we’re adjusting to life with illness/disability. Plus, they give their best tips to tackle when frustration pops up.  
2. At 17:33, it’s all about chronic illness/disability and masculinity and how to break the stigmas surrounding the young guys in this community. Jack opens up about what are some of the masculinity troupes that interfere in guys feeling comfortable to open up and get real about their feelings/emotions. And they talk about the ways young guys can build their confidence, and what’s the top tips to sharpening your community like Jack did with his teammates so you can boost your confidence to confide.
3. Intermission is STORY TIME at 36:43 and Jack gives double the stories about how perhaps it’s a good thing for Team USA Sled Hockey when something goes awry for Jack right before a gold medal game.  
4. And we end the podcast at 43:24 as Jack talks about how he got into adaptive sports, why a place called Camp No Limits thrust him into a world of diverse representation and community, what he’s gained physically and mentally from these two parasports being in his life, and the funny place Jack had his two gold medals during this interview!

Final episode of Season 4 and we’re gonna be chatting with one of our fav types of podcast guests: female founders that wanna empower other young people to be their own game-changers.

 And we got that on today’s episode with CEO and founder of the adaptive apparel and intimates brand, Liberare, Emma Butler. A Brown University graduate living in Paris, Emma created Liberare as a way to fuse fashion, function, accessibility and disability representation together. So their line of lingerie and loungewear (like the best bras you’ll find!) have connected with thousands of buyers after just over two years!  

Here’s the Four Hot Takeaways from the podcast episode: 

1. At 4:04, Emma drops her life superlatives like the best customer review, her fashion dos and don’ts, and why she decompresses at the start of her days instead the end. 
2. Jump to 13:50, Dominique and Emma get talking about the young entrepreneur lifestyle, and give you unlimited access to advice that’ll get you prepared to start your own businesses. Plus, we’ve got the TOP TIPS you’ll wanna give to all your “healthy/non-disabled” coworkers/bosses so they can express themselves freely and create a flexible, adaptive and comfortable work environment that’s inclusive. 
3. STORY TIME at 36:14, brings us that one time Emma went on a first date and why she may have pulled out a Liberare bra for her date to see…true story, promise!  
4. End the podcast at 40:31 talking about how you can plan an important role making fashion more inclusive to fuel all your clothes-lover needs. Emma and Dominique get super real on how to combat the misconception of “health over fashion,” what actually makes clothes boost confidence especially on those flareup days, and how your consumer role can make the fashion industry more diverse in-front AND behind the scenes for optimal change.

life advice and perspectives that’ll provide empowering tools you can practically incorporate into your life for more success and joy. AND we’ll be doing it in 20 minutes or less.

Today’s Audio Flash File is gonna give you the details on how to handle a situation we all find ourselves getting into at one point in life or another…getting advice. Whether it’s solicited or that infamous unsolicited advice, as young people we are often trying to discover the way of living that works best for us, and naturally we are given advice or resources to improve different elements of life. And InvisiYouth has been secretly teaching you one of our best techniques for you to personalize advice for your best. And that’s learning how to make decisions confidently requires a spectrum, of what we define as the InvisiYouth’s Decision-Making Spectrum. 

 Founder Dominique drops the reason our nonprofit encourages you to even disagree with advice and resources given to you, how confidence in the choices we make in life comes from sharpening our ability of sliding on a spectrum of agreement or disagreement. We also give the steps on how to do metaphorical shopping with elements of advice given to you, and why it’s important to give even that outlandish advice a moment of thought because you’re actually able to improve your life and adaptability with chronic illness or disability by recognizing the confidence you gain in your decisions.

Get ready to slide along the spectrum of making the best decisions for your way of living, your chronic illness or disability and your desires and goal and listen to this life-improving advice!
