The Elkhart Tapes episodes

  • Sean Iman
    I knew of Sean Iman my whole life. I never super got to know him. I think I even got sideways with him a few times.
    I remember a confused kid who was desperately trying to fit in. Just like the rest of us.
    Sean was close friends with Levi, If you know of Levi you know of the significance. When Levi tragically died the summer after 9th grade, Sean was left to pick up the pieces.
    Early on he gravitated towards poetry (much like Levi).
    Sean and I spent a few weeks together when I was 18. We both ended up moving into a 2 bedroom apartment with 5 other people. Neither of us had jobs. Sean got voted off the island. He packed his stuff and left the apartment. This was the first time I spoke to him since that day.
    Sean had battles with depression, drug addiction and feeling dead inside.
    He was invited to church by a coworker and slowly rebuilt his life.
    Now he is a district manager where he works and he owns Sean's Pecans. Visit his facebook page to order yours today.

  • Clemmie and the Octopus of Grief
    62, Clemmie and the Octopus of Grief
    December in Thailand. Christmas. Family and friends brought together for a holiday at the beach. The last Christmas before everything would change unexpectedly the next day.
    Clemmie Clough, 31, recalls her mother saying, "remember to take the cushions inside," when they saw something strange happening with the sea. Clemmie was 13. She was swept away, along with her mother, sister, and others who were with them.
    Clemmie shares where she is now in her grief journey. She also tells us about the present that everyone gets when their person leaves this earth. A present that must be cared for, or it can make your life a mess.
    Clemmie's advice: It's really shit some days and some days it's less shit. It does get better. Keep talking to your friends because they're there to help you.
    Podcast Spotlight:
    How Is Today?
