This week, Kirk talks with Emily Kristen Morris about her journey from thyroid cancer and a paralyzed vocal chord all the way to heading a successful vocal studio and starring in the national tour of "Wicked" as the standby for the lead character, "Elphaba." Also, we introduce a new segment called "Word of the Day." Today's word is "resilience," which Emily, Elphaba, and many in our audience can relate to.

Join Kirk Sheppard as he talks about gratitude, affirmation, and productivity. This week, he talks with Lee Side Wellness's Eric Adams about his journey from the law to mental health - and in honor of pride month, we discuss his specialization in non-cisgender and LBGTQIA+ care.

As a way to kick off Pride month, Kirk is releasing a special bonus episode of "Happy Monday." He was asked to speak at an affirming church called "The Open Table" located in Mason, Ohio, for Mental Health Awareness month about his experiences in the world or professional wrestling. Kirk talks about wrestling with loving our neighbors, wrestling with loving ourselves, and wrestling with loving God while we grapple with big issues including our identity and sexuality. Give it a listen!

Despite a distraction that caused the stream to end sooner than normal, Kirk is releasing both the live stream and a recorded second-half this week talking about ending toxic relationships and more. Also, look for a bonus audio episode dropping this Thursday as Kirk releases his talk from The Open Table church called "Wrestling with Love."
