Today's episode is a solocast because we had two guests cancel because of emergency family issues.

This is to be expected though, so today we are letting you know what we had planned, and what we have coming up, which is an interview with a Doctor in the U.S who is eliminating the ramifications of trauma.  Forever!

If you’ve ever wondered what happens to NFL players after they leave the game, you’ll be very surprised to hear that it’s not all sunshine and roses when they hang up the helmet and the cleats.

Today we’re going to talk about what happened to Mark Rodenhauser mentally and physically after leaving the game he loved and what he’s doing now.  And I’ll give you a little hint.

He wears a badge.

Jenna Ashlyn is a survivor of domestic abuse and wants everyone listening to know that there is hope, and that life is infinitely better on the other side of abuse.

In 2020, Jenna released her debut novel, "Within the Gray" and her second novel “Sheila’s Men” has just been released today.

Join us today to hear a story of hope and to hear how one woman travelled back to light and to love and to the other side.

The message that my guest and I would like to bring to you today is early detection for everyone, but especially for men because sometimes we men are downright stupid when it comes to getting checked for any health issue.

Mathew Charters is our special guest and even though he ignored the signs, his cancer was caught early and he’s now been in remission for 3 years.

Heather Hutchison is an award winning singer / songwriter with 3 albums to her credit and she's also the author of:  Holding on by letting go: A Memoir.

Heather’s been blind since birth and she’s struggled with mental illness from a young age.

Today we’re going to talk about a lot of things:  music, travelling, mental health, what it’s like to grow up with a disability, how to treat someone appropriately who has a disability, and more.

On today's episode we talk about all the great guests and stories that we have in store for you in 2022!

Caroline Rose's life before she was diagnosed with lymphoma was perfect and curated and scheduled down to the minute so that she could squeeze everything out of life on her way to becoming a surgeon, just like her father.

Caroline’s life after diagnosis is a story of hope, for her and her family and ultimately for each and every one of us who’ll take the time and listen.

There is hope, and we have to keep that idea in our thoughts and in our hearts no matter what we’re hit with in our life’s journey.

Three years ago 16 year police veteran Keith Harrison contemplated ending his life.  He had a plan and the note at the ready.  Thankfully he did not go through with it and just recently returned to work after successfully going through his trauma recovery journey.

During his healing journey, Keith started a company called Tier Response Apparel company that seeks to help other first responders by donating 20% of the proceeds of sales to the Wounded Warrior organization to help others in need.

Daniela and John Tsentouros came through the trauma of John being held hostage by prisoners at the correctional institute that he worked at.

Daniela became his primary supporter and the "gatekeeper" as she put it.  But trauma doesn't happen only to the survivor, it happens to the partner / spouse as well as the rest of the family.

Join Daniela and I as we talk about what got her through this journey, including her self care.
