You Don't Have to Forget to Forgive | Reclaiming Your Boundaries | Episode 473

Forgiveness is supposed to bring peace, but what happens when “moving on” starts to feel like erasing yourself? Justin Alan Hayes takes a straight, human approach to one of the most loaded phrases we hear in mental health conversations: forgive and forget. We unpack why forgiving can be a real act of strength while forgetting can feel impossible or even unsafe, especially when the original words or actions created stress, trauma, or lasting doubt.

We also challenge a question that quietly follows a lot of growth stories. If someone questioned you, assumed the worst, or talked down to you while you were building, then later watches you succeed, do you owe them anything? We explore how to think about that without becoming vindictive, how to hold boundaries without losing your values, and how to stay grounded in facts instead of getting trapped in old emotional loops.

If you care about emotional healing, boundaries, trauma recovery, and practical mental health reflection, this one will stick with you. Subscribe to Voices for Voices, share this with someone who is carrying old hurt, and leave a review with your take: can you forgive without forgetting, and where do you draw the line?

Gloomy Days Hit Different When You're Depressed | Episode 472

A gloomy morning can feel like a weighted blanket you never asked for and no amount of “just get up” advice touches it. Justin Alan Hayes gets real about what it’s like to wake up on an overcast, rainy day with depression and seasonal affective disorder, when your body moves slower, your mind needs more time, and the world still expects the same pace. He shares a laugh-out-loud moment of being attacked by an energetic dog while trying to steal a few more seconds of sleep, then zooms out to the deeper point: low energy is not a moral failure.

From there, we talk about how weather and mood can spill into work and daily routines, where tiny oversights can happen when you’re not fully online yet. Justin uses a simple example of forgetting trash cans behind the car to show how “little things” can grow when we don’t slow down, breathe, and stay present. The conversation stays grounded in mental health, trauma recovery, and the human reality of doing your best on the days that don’t feel easy.

We also go deeper into self-judgment and extremes: the old habit of comparing, the fear of going all-or-nothing with working out, and how that mindset can mirror past binge drinking and a lack of moderation. Justin explains why counseling and showing up consistently matters, especially when you’re managing medication and trying to build a healthier life one decision at a time. Voices for Voices is also a 501c3 nonprofit, and you’ll hear how to support the mission at lovevoices.org.

More People Die as You Get Older: Facing That Reality | Episode 471

Death does not wait for a “good time,” and grief does not follow a script. I sit down and speak plainly about what it feels like when more people start passing away as you get older, how losing a parent stays with you, and why those emotions can turn into real mental health challenges. If you are navigating bereavement, trauma, depression, anxiety, or addiction recovery, I want you to hear one clear message: you are not alone, and you do not have to pretend you are fine.

I also share my perspective on public controversy around COVID shots and sudden illness, not to win an argument, but to show how fear, anger, and powerlessness can shape the way we process loss. Mental health and trauma recovery are not just private struggles; they show up in what we believe, what we say out loud, and how we try to protect the people we love. Along the way, I talk about getting back with my psychiatrist, staying in counseling, and why support matters more than perfection when life hits hard.

We close with a pop culture moment that turns into a bigger question: what happens when pain, medication, stress, and fame collide with everyday safety decisions? Using the Tiger Woods DUI news as a jumping-off point, I explore impairment, trauma, and why even people with unlimited resources can still make risky choices. If this conversation helps you think differently about grief support, coping skills, or safer decisions, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find Voices for Voices.

Months Into a Case and Still No Evidence | Episode 470

A lawsuit can say almost anything on paper. The hard part is proving it when someone is under oath and the details have to add up.

We talk about the First Amendment, freedom of speech, and why I’m willing to speak publicly when the subject is my own livelihood and the people around me. I also share a blunt reality many listeners face in silence: if you’re paying for legal help and your attorney isn’t listening or acting on what you bring them, you’re allowed to make a change. The attorney-client relationship is a professional partnership, not a life sentence, and protecting your interests is part of navigating the judicial system.

Then we get specific. Using our understanding of the Pennsylvania Unified Judicial System public access policy, I walk through a deposition summary tied to a defamation complaint in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania. The claim says our content drove people away from an organization and caused $350,000 in losses. But months into the case, after roughly 293 days, the testimony we discuss raises a core problem in civil litigation: the lack of direct numbers, direct attribution, and clear causation tying specific departures to specific videos, podcasts, or posts.

If you care about legal accountability, public records, and what “evidence” should mean before someone puts a dollar figure on another family’s name, this conversation is for you. Subscribe to the show, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review with your take: what should courts expect when accusations are big but the numbers are missing?

Exposing A Stephen D. Reimers Fundraising Fraud | Episode 469

Somebody asks you for money “for a creative project,” the logo looks real, the story sounds urgent, and the paperwork feels just official enough to quiet your doubts. That’s the moment we want you to pause.

We talk with David and Amanda Solomon about what they allege happened around Mythical Creatures Around the World and related writing and publishing efforts: unpaid work, suspicious employment letters, “investment offers,” donation outreach that doesn’t appear to benefit the creator, and documents they say raise serious questions about who controls the brand and the intellectual property. Amanda explains how she first joined the work as an editor, how a promised paid caretaker role never resulted in pay, and how access to email led her to information she says David had never seen.

We also discuss the human cost behind the paperwork: the confusion that comes when authority is disputed, the risk when a creator’s income is tied to someone else’s business tax ID, and what to do when you believe impersonation or fraud is happening in real time. Throughout, we keep it practical for listeners who donate online, back crowdfunding campaigns, support indie authors, or hire contractors: verify entities, confirm signers, document everything, and report suspected fraud to the proper authorities.

If you’ve ever wondered how a legitimate-looking fundraising pitch can go wrong, this conversation lays out the warning signs in plain language. Subscribe, share this with a friend who donates online, and leave a review with the biggest red flag you think people miss most often.

Stephen D. Reimers: Wage Theft & Fraud EXPOSED! (Ep. 468)

Somebody can steal more than money. They can steal time, trust, and a name you worked years to build. We talk about what we describe as employee abuse with Stephen D Reimers as the supposed "Employer" through nonpayment, how “contracts” and job promises can be used to pressure people into unpaid labor, and why that crosses the line into fraud in our view, which is exactly what Stephen D Reimers has done.

We also address the confusion created when newsletters and donation appeals circulate using someone else’s story, projects, and brand to raise funds or claim influence. David and Amanda Solomon share what they’ve recently learned about alleged LLC paperwork, surprise debts, and public claims of ownership connected to Mythical Creatures Around the World and Voices for Voices. We explain why supporters should slow down before donating or partnering, and how a cease and desist letter becomes a necessary boundary when misrepresentation keeps happening with Stephen D Reimers.

Along the way, we pull back the curtain on Mythical Creatures Around the World: how it began as a healing outlet, how it grew into international cultural storytelling, and why folklore consulting can become valuable intellectual property in comics, film, and TV. We also talk about the danger of leaking pre-production slates under NDA and the real livelihood impact when unfinished work gets pushed into the public.

If you care about wage theft, nonprofit transparency, intellectual property rights, and protecting survivors from exploitation, press play, then subscribe, share, and leave a review. What’s one red flag you watch for before you trust a fundraiser or a “partner” claiming ownership?

Inside the Reimers Fraud: A Scandalous Deception (Ep 279)

MERCHANDISE SHOP: voices-for-voices.org/3QnokLU
SUPPORT VOICES FOR VOICES®:
https://www.voicesforvoices.org/shop/p/supporter

The invisible chains of human trafficking extend far beyond initial captivity. Today we tackle the disturbing reality that trafficking survivors in America face more barriers to essential services than both illegal immigrants and prisoners—a system failure that defies comprehension and basic human dignity.

David Solomon's story represents thousands of trafficking victims forgotten by our justice system. Trafficked by Bryan Davis in 2012, David continues fighting not just for justice, but for the most basic needs: healthcare access, housing security, and protection from his trafficker. Meanwhile, Davis operates freely—attending conventions, selling books, and systematically destroying David's chances at rebuilding his life by bribing doctors, attorneys, and banks to deny him services.

The corruption runs deeper through what we've uncovered as the "Reimers fraud." Stephen Reimers, David's stepfather, has reportedly collected substantial donations—including $7,000 from one source and $30,000 from a US Senator—by sharing David's trafficking story, yet these funds never reach David or support his recovery. This exploitation compounds the original trauma and reflects how trafficking victims face betrayal from every direction.

We're calling directly on President Trump, his administration, and law enforcement at all levels to investigate Bryan Davis's operations, secure proper protection for David's family, and create real pathways for trafficking survivors to rebuild their lives. The Take It Down Law represents progress, but individual trafficking cases continue falling through the cracks while perpetrators walk free. Will you join us in demanding better for those who've already suffered beyond imagination? Their freedom shouldn't come with invisible handcuffs of systemic neglect.

Legacy Thoughts | Episode 467 | What Will People Remember?

Someday, a whole life gets squeezed into a few paragraphs and that fact can either haunt you or wake you up. We sit with that uncomfortable truth and talk about legacy in a way that has nothing to do with fame, mansions, or money, and everything to do with time, choices, and the people we touch along the way.

A simple scene from a family movie sparks the core metaphor: exhibits come alive, but if they don’t make it back before morning, they turn to dust. It’s a surprisingly sharp reminder that we don’t control the clock, and we don’t always get a warning. From there, we reflect on how easy it is to stop dreaming after setbacks, criticism, or being told our voice doesn’t matter and why perseverance, patience, and self-belief are still possible even after long detours.

We also talk about grief and the surreal experience of trying to find the “right words” when someone passes, including what it feels like to build an obituary while you’re still processing the loss. That leads to the most important question: what do you want people to remember you for? For us, it comes back to service, mental health honesty, and the hope that helping one person can ripple outward into a legacy that continues through them.

If this resonates, subscribe to Voices For Voices, share this with someone you care about, and leave a review. What do you want your legacy to be?

He Found a Six-Year-Old Who'd Never Slept in a Bed | Episode 466

A kid sleeping on the floor isn’t a sad metaphor, it’s a real crisis hiding in ordinary neighborhoods. I sit down with Luke Mickelson, the founder of Sleep In Heavenly Peace, to talk about the moment he learned children in his own small Idaho town had no beds and why that realization changed the direction of his life. What started as a simple garage build turned into a growing network of local chapters focused on one practical mission: build and deliver beds so kids don’t have to sleep on the floor.

Luke shares the story that made the issue impossible to ignore, including delivering a bed to a six-year-old who had never slept in one. We unpack what child bedlessness does to a child’s body, emotions, and school life, and why a bed is more than sleep. It’s a safe space, a source of dignity, and a reminder that someone in the community cares. Along the way, we dig into how service can lift our own mental health by shifting focus outward, and how purpose often starts with one small decision to act.

We also get concrete about solutions. Luke explains how Sleep In Heavenly Peace chapters work, how donations stay local, how volunteers can join build days and deliveries, and what to do if you know a child who needs a bed. If you’ve ever felt the pull to help but didn’t know where to start, this conversation turns that “tiny moment” into a next step. Subscribe, share this with a friend, and leave a review so more people hear it. What’s one small action you’ll take after listening?

Shannon Miller Talks 10 Years to Build 90 Sec & Salto | Ep 465

Ninety seconds on a balance beam can look like effortless perfection. Shannon Miller pulls back the curtain and shows what it really costs: ten years of 40-hour training weeks, the mental battle to stay steady under pressure, and the support of coaches, parents, and teammates who help carry the load behind the scenes.

We also go to the moment her Olympic dream nearly ended. Ten weeks before Olympic Trials, Shannon breaks and dislocates her elbow and faces the terrifying thought that her career might be over. She shares the mindset shifts that helped her return, how focusing on her weaknesses made her stronger, and why the mental side of sport often matters more than raw talent. From there, we talk about life after gymnastics, education, and building a second act with real staying power.

Then the conversation turns deeply human. Shannon opens up about being diagnosed with a rare form of ovarian cancer, the side effects that linger long after chemo, and the complicated decision to speak publicly while being a private person. That journey leads to Salto Health, a platform built around a simple idea: cancer patients and caregivers need help with the everyday non-medical realities like skincare, hydration, hair loss, nausea, neuropathy, comfort, and logistics. Salto Health uses a curated support registry so loved ones can stop guessing and start helping in ways that actually matter.

If you care about Olympic training, mental toughness, cancer survivorship, caregiving, and practical support tools, this conversation delivers. Subscribe for more stories like this, share the episode with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more listeners can find the show.
