InvisiYouth Chat Sessions

Let's bring manageable joyfulness into the way you use your social media platforms and your daily life so there's the almighty balance between work life and personal life. 

Our special guest is creator of the popular TikTok platform Magnolia Hill House, Mariah Michelle. A model-turned chronic illness influencer, Mariah created a platform that educates and entertains over 470k followers to find joy in life with chronic illnesses while also making enjoyable and accessible content for all. 

Here’s the Four Hot Takeaways: 

1. At 3:44 Mariah and Dominique get real on setting those boundaries when you fuse your personal life into your social media, especially when you’re sharing about your chronic illness/disability. And Mariah gives all the insight on how she’s kept her health a priority without losing steam, what ways you can keep in your lane and style of content without feeling like you’re competing in that “chronic illness Olympics” with other creators, and what’s her most and least favorite things about the influencer world. 
2. At 23:17 Mariah shares how she created her highly successful #FloralFridays and we give all the tips, tricks and mindset switches you can add into daily living so you are incorporating joyfulness into even the biggest of flareup days. Plus, there are two tips so you can intentionally separate how your mind feels away from how your body/health feels…and that’s a major thing you’ll wanna learn.  
3. STORY TIME at 43:13 gives us a huge laugh and insight into Mariah’s childhood and how her first taste of a potential ambulatory mobility aid user created a family catchphrase of “it’s a miracle” that’s now ironically prevalent in Mariah’s sarcastic humorous side of her life with chronic illness. 
4. And the final segment at 48:53 goes deep into the ways those of us living with chronic illness/disability can best interact with the “healthy/non-disabled” people and social media communities around us. Mariah and Dominique give some major pieces of advice—and a lot of laughs—on how you can create enjoyable and palatable content for both chronically ill and healthy audiences, the ways you can spark curiosity without making others defensive, and the top four tips on how to you can navigate the relationship between yourself and your circles of “healthy/non-disabled” family and friends.

Lucky number seven of our audio resource InvisiYouth Chat Sessions: Audio Flash Files, we’re giving you our monthly boost of 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 15 minutes or less.

Today’s Audio Flash File is all about our perspective-shifting technique to look at life as “mastering” instead of aiming to be a “master.” It’s so easy to want to be the master at your life, to check off all the boxes to reach a pinnacle of success and joy that you’re crushing it 24/7. But that can lead to frustrations and lack of success when you’re not able to reach that master level, especially when you have a chronic illness or disability and road blocks can happen. So InvisiYouth teaches how focusing on “mastering” life and that continuous momentum of growth and change in daily life is the supreme way of living. And how focusing on the journey rather than the goal life creates optimal joy and success levels.

Founder Dominique drops some steps to reframe your perspective on the things you’re already working on in life to reject that mindset of needing to be the best and masterful at life and different hobbies or skillsets. 

Get ready to choose the life of mastering, and have some laughs with Dominique while you’re motivated for positive changes along the way!

Get this statistic: In America, 95% of people are in favor of organ donation but only 58% are actually registered, and every 10 minutes, someone is added to the organ waiting list. It’s so important to not only understand the organ donation process and registering to be a donor, but it’s also super valuable to learn the misconceptions and how to make your own decisions with all the facts.

Today’s podcast feature’s someone that knows this topic through many POVs, the transplant recipient, the donor’s relative, the family member and the advocate. It’s liver transplant recipient and Donate Life Ambassador, Meghan Smith. After receiving a liver transplant at 27, three years after her young brother also received a liver transplant, Meghan uses her platform to educate others on organ donation and registration with open-minded positivity and realism. 

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

1. At 3:25 Meghan and Dominique drop the facts about organ donation and donor registry, like the ins and outs of registering and how you can alter/select your specifics when registering, and what makes transplant surgeries different for everyone.  
2. At 19:08 Meghan gives her advice on how to have mental and emotional fitness when going into big heath changes, her inner details about how stress transfers differently between being the patient and the support network in the transplant process, and how the post-transplant life is really like. Plus, there’s major drops of feeling empowered in your body and way of life after major health experiences.  
3. STORY TIME at 43:16 brings some levity to the transplant experience as Meghan has a very distinct reaction to coming out of anesthesia, and as she’d say, “it’s freaking amazing.” 
4. And the final segment at 48:01 Meghan and Dominique get breaking the misconceptions around registering to donate, how media representation of the donation process could sharpen its realism to bring a better understanding, and how to have non-judgmental conversations around donation registration and support organ donation overall.

It’s InvisiYouth Chat Sessions: Audio Flash Files #6, and this is another boost of life advice, teachings and perspectives that’ll empower another element of your life so you thrive with success and joy. Especially for our “medically adult-ish™” young people living with chronic illness and disability!

Today’s Audio Flash File is all about grief and death…of yourself. Now, we’re not getting morbid, we’re talking about self-grief when you’ve had a major life event change your life so there’s a break between the “old you” and the “new you.” Especially when you have a chronic illness or disability that develops later in life, you remember the “healthy version” of yourself and your life/dreams. But grieving your past self isn’t something we’re taught, and it's probably one of the most valuable tools to truly heal and grow while being young with health struggles. The tools of empowered self-grief are nothing like the stages of grief, but a reframing of how to move beyond longing and frustration.
 
 Plus, InvisiYouth’s got the best definition about how to properly sit in your grief of what’s lost from your past, how to reframe to celebrate the present you’re living in, and how actually having mini self-eulogies throughout your life is the best way to live authentically and fully.

Get ready to grab hold of InvisiYouth’s advice on how to grieve your past-self, grieve your life without chronic illness/disability by listening to their unique formula on how to ebb and flow with your emotions without wishing you should “move past” your feelings in order to be successful, serene and joyful with your new life.

When you have three special guests on one podcast episode, you know it’s gonna be a good time. And today’s topic benefits from lots of perspectives because we’re talking about PTSD, also known as post-traumatic stress and specifically medical trauma/triggers. While we’re not making a melancholy podcast episode, we know this is a topic super important because let’s face it…when you’re a young adult living with a chronic illness/disability, chances are that you’ve dealt with a sort of trauma or triggering experience related to your health. 

Today’s episode has three staff and board members from the Center of Pediatric Medical Traumatic Stress (CPTS), which aims to improve support and knowledge around this topic to address the emotional, lifestyle and psychological needs of young people, families and the medical community. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, CPTS is highlighting many of its beneficial trauma-focused care in its resources. We’re thrilled to have CPTS program coordinator Gaby Vega, pediatric  psychologist and research scientist Dr. Kimberly Canter, and Darlene Barkman who’s worked in patient-centered care from Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

Here’s the Four Hot Takeaways from the podcast episode:
0:00 - Podcast Intro Time
4:37 - The ladies give a crash course in PTSD, how the “three E’s” can be a sign in identifying that you’re dealing with triggering stressors and the number one stigma around PTSD that stops young people from seeking supports.
20:56 -  Build you the guidebook on finding all the supports, advice and tools to navigate living your life with medical and health traumas/triggers, like how to get family involvement that’s not overwhelming, the best way to bring up worries to your doctors, and why adapting and routines are great tools to combat your triggers.
39:30 - INTERMISSION STORY TIME and on this podcast founder Dominique sharing a story about her own PTSD physical trigger from her chronic illness journey that connects tennis, filming a Spanish university project and black outs into one place.
51:10 -  Wrap up the podcast and our guests are sharing some of the best tools to add to your toolkit when dealing with these stressors and PTSD with health traumas so you can tackle advising parents how to “support not help,” when to advocate with your medical team when you feel that intimidation, and how tools on the Healthcare Toolbox from CPTS prove independent vetted research can support your journey to thrive with wellness long-term.

Let’s motivate GenZ, and discover how to build your brand in life, make the impact you want, and even with a chronic illness or disability, thrive in the daily. That’s exactly what we’re talking about, with a lean on the valuable ways we can cultivate a digital footprint that doesn’t burn us out or feel disingenuous. And our special is all about empowering this demographic, and doing it with style. It’s a fellow chronic illness warrior, Sports Illustrated Swim Search 2022 finalist, digital creator, GenZ advocate, model and podcaster Gigi Robinson.  

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

We dive into the reasons Gigi believes ‘social media literacy’ needs to be a thing, how to valuably use social media with tricks to aid your mental and physical health at any point, and Dominique gets real on why you need to map out even your private IGs and TikTok accounts like a business plan with a brand in order to have a healthy relationship with it.

4. And the episode ends at 43:50 with a real discuss on body image and body confidence. Gigi and Dominique talk about how chronic illness and disability play a deep role in body image, their different ways to combat that self-judgement, why no one should downplay talking about body image when you also live with health struggles or disability, how to respond to outsider criticism and why allowing yourself to feel your feels is better than wasting energy on outsider opinions.

Get our fourth addition to this audio resource, InvisiYouth Chat Sessions: Audio Flash Files, and get ready for another boost of life advice and perspective that’ll provide a new empowering tool you can tangibly incorporate into life for more success and joy. 

This Audio Flash File gets you understanding the value of piquing someone’s curiosity bone and not their defensive bone.  So often in today’s society, we are communicating our needs and perspectives to others, but if it’s not an experience they’re familiar with, it creates this barrier between their understanding and willingness to compromise, and our general accessibility. And it really relies on our reaction to an individual for us to have optimal success. InvisiYouth is teaching why using certain Q’s and responses to this misconceptions or downright misinformed comments will actually pull on someone’s curiosity so their guard is down, and they are more likely to be open-minded to learning more, understanding more, and overall becoming a better ally and supporter. Plus, if we’re even telling you Harvard believes curiosity is a trait that creates the most successful individuals, you gotta believe we’re teaching a life-improving technique that’s a game-changer for you in your life. 

In this podcast episode, you’ll discover what makes appealing to curiosity the most valuable tool in your reactive nature as a human, why InvisiYouth finds ignorance a starting point and not a downright negative, how you’re able to do that with just a few easy steps on reading a person’s response, and a great example of how it’s easily applied in life from a funny teen story with founder Dominique. Get curious, not defensive!

 Talking is a skillset, and getting to share your points of view, have authentic conversations and talk about those hot-button topics takes some knowledge to do it successfully. Especially when you’ve got a chronic illness/disability and you’re standing up for your experiences and the discrimination you face, having tools to have the best chats with people is vital. So this episode has a special guest that’s created a massive GenZ brand all about talking, it’s the founder and CEO of the non-partisan educational platform, The Conversationalist, Sophie Beren. 

The Top Four Takeaways from this episode are: 

1. At 3:06, Sophie and Dominique give out the step-by-step guide to sharing all the points of view like the rebel game-changer you are so you never fear those hot topics again. They chat on how to advocate for yourself versus a community, how to share POVs without being defensive and why you DON’T want to change someone’s point of view in a chat.  
2. At 17:30 it’s Chat Me Up and we’re running through all the different ways to have chats with every relationship in your life, and this gets gritty. Sophie shares what “conversational consent” is, Dominique explains why ignorance isn’t a bad thing, and you’ll learn how to talk differently with family, romantic partners, the DMs/comments and the general public.
3. Intermission STORY TIME comes at 38:46 as Sophie gives twice the stories from her life that explain why taking risks have allowed her to become the strongest and most authentic version of herself. And the spectrum of stories range from a 7th grade “Annie” musical audition to the reason a phone charger lead her to a Michael Phelps selfie moment.  
4. And the episode ends with some major powerful advice at 46:48 when the ladies express how introverted people can still share their POVs and advocate…even if it’s silently (yes, you can be empowered silently) and what’s the tips on utilizing curiosity words and facts to get conversations to stay on track productively. Challenge the prejudice, share your voice and chat with open-minded curiosity, and let’s get talking today!

It’s number three in our new audio resource, InvisiYouth Chat Sessions: Audio Flash Files, and get ready for another boost of life advice and perspective that’ll provide a new empowering tool you can tangibly incorporate into life for more success and joy. 

 This Audio Flash File gets us talking about how to make the most out of our relationships with people, specifically when you wanna vent about your life moments or get advice and you don’t know who to go to first.  Let’s be real, it might seem great to have a group of people like the TV show “Friends” in your corner share all your details and intermingle your communication, but it’s not super realistic to have select group of people you can talk about everything in every way you want. And when you’re chronically ill or disabled as a young person, you need that balance of “healthy/non-disabled” people along with fellow chronic illness/disability people in different circles in order to thrive in your chats and succeed in your life. And InvisiYouth’s got the life technique to reframe your relationships, strengthen how you communicate, and let you look at your people as tree rings that don’t need to intersect to be great.  

Get ready to be a pro in your friendships and relationship because you don’t need to rank your people to decipher their value. Stand in your power and have fun while you learn and grow as a young person on this quick podcast!
