Threads Podcast: Life Unfiltered

With everyone stuck at home, everything just seems so different. So we figured we would make the most of this new normal and host a remote show with long-time listeners and previous Threads guests. Each guest got to share with us about how things have been going in their families during the COVID-19 outbreak. We also talked about what we're watching in light of sports being canceled. Apparently, marble racing is a thing! 

We were joined by...

Matt Philpott - Ben & Matt went to the same college together, but did not really know each other back then. Matt has been listening for just over a year, after hearing about Threads on the Eric Zane Show. Matt works for a local health organization. Dave Tiesma - Dave returns to the show after appearing on Episode 17! Dave is a banker in the West Michigan area. Chris Bruinsma - Chris has also been listening to the show for quite a while, and has interacted with Ben and Jason off the air in some random & funny ways. He is a plumber by trade. Megan Dineff - Megan returns to the show after appearing on a couple of different recent episodes. Megan manages a local car repair facility.

Hey friends, Ben here. In times like these, it is so important to focus on our mental health. As covid-19 continues to spread across the globe, so many of us are battling fear and anxiety. Thankfully, there are people like Khara Croswaite Brindle who are dedicated to walking alongside the anxious, depressed, and suicidal among us.

Khara is a therapist who practices in Denver, Colorado. In addition to seeing clients, she also provides ongoing supervision to new therapists entering the field. She and some cohorts teamed up to write a book about their process, and formed a business around this idea of preparing therapists for the reality of seeing clients in the mental health space.

As if that isn't enough to keep Khara busy, she also is the founder and executive director of Catalively. This non-profit was formed to engage people experiencing suicidal thoughts and behaviors through proper assessment to connect them with valuable resources to reduce risk.

While her experience is incredible, Jason and I both wanted to know how Khara manages to do all these things and still sleep at night. She candidly shares her encounters with burnout and tells of the lessons she learned through those valleys. 

Jason and I were inspired by all the work Khara is doing, and especially by her care and concern for those struggling with suicidal thoughts.
