Linley Baker, with the help of her now ex-husband, raised their six children in four countries over 19 years. But when her husband of 35 years suddenly left her with virtually no warning or explanation, she chose to find peace by turning to her faith and remaining family.

Amberleah White has suffered from depression and mental disorders as far back as she could remember into her early childhood. While she and her loved ones had done what they could to help her fight against her treatment-resistant major depressive disorder, it wasn’t until she confided in her husband Jason about her suicide plan that a more intense treatment option was considered. Amberleah started on a treatment series known as Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT), which through controlled induced seizures helped pull her out of her darkest depression to the relief of her husband and twelve children. She joins the Relentlessly Resilient podcast today to discuss her story, and the process and side effects of ECT in the hopes that her story will help others understand if Electroconvulsive Therapy is the right treatment to help them.

When teacher and performer David Martin found out that his friend and music director Chris Clark was diagnosed with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) in early 2016, he was devastated. But Chris’s pervasively optimistic outlook on tackling the terminal diagnosis changed David’s own life outlook. David launched a performance program to educate the public and raise awareness of ALS while celebrating the lives of its victims, which included Chris in 2020. “BeatALS Benefit” concerts and programs help unite schools, communities, and businesses in a concentrated effort to beat ALS through the songs of The Beatles. With upcoming concerts in October 2021, Dave joins the Relentlessly Resilient podcast to discuss the BeatALS programs, invite listeners to donate or participate in the concerts, and share the stories of resilience he has learned from ALS patients who “Take a Sad Song and Make it Better.”

Hannah was a vivacious teenager who hid her pain and completed suicide at 16 years of age. Because she thought there was no hope for her life to change, her mother Laura Warburton is trying to encourage that hope of change in others with the Live Hannah's Hope Foundation. She joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to share Hannah’s story and her own.

Laura was aware of her daughter’s mental and neurological health issues, followed the best medical advice she was given, sought out experts and doctors to help her child, but Hannah’s hurt was deeper than she let on and she chose to exit this world on her own terms. Since that time Laura has decided to live her life not on the “What ifs?” of Hannah’s death, but in the “Because of.” Laura has researched and compiled a variety of resources to help possibly prevent another suicide of a person who just feels like there can be no change. On her website, LiveHannahsHope.org Laura shares resources, teaches courses on suicide prevention, and has become an outspoken advocate for mental health and mindfulness education for school-age children and young adults alike.
