Warriors Unmasked

Have you ever had one of those days where everything seems to be piling on top of one another and the tenuous hold you had on your good mood just evaporates? Sometimes life has a way of making our difficult moments even harder, but that doesn't mean you can't live without true peace and happiness. It all starts with your thoughts…

Welcome back to Warriors Unmasked! Today we sit down with psychotherapist and transformative coach Jason Shiers. Join us as Jason talks about his journey of losing his father at five years old, the addictions he grew to cope with his struggle, and the path of self-destruction Jason was certain he couldn't get out of. You'll hear about his incredible transformation and how his true path to happiness started with getting out of his head.

Listen in as Jason talks about the construct behind mental illness and how your thought life is more than just experiencing the world around you. You'll learn why addiction is more than behavior or substance abuse, the link between overthinking and mental illness, and the steps that transformed Jason's inner world from one of victimization to an empowered and true version of himself.

If you've ever felt like your brain never takes a break then this episode is for you, so hit play, sit back and learn the truth of how you can better your outer world today! For more resources or to connect with Jason, check out the links below!

What happens when a coping mechanism starts causing more damage than help? For many addicts, this is the exact struggle they deal with every day. Our guest today is someone who has not only struggled with addiction but came out on the other side with a fresh start and a powerful outlook on life.

Join us as we talk with recovering alcoholic, author, and competitive national bodybuilder, Jewels A. Jewels tells her heroic journey of enduring trauma and abuse at a young age to finding comfort at the bottom of a bottle. You'll hear how even when she pulled herself into what could be considered a successful adult life the hold of alcoholism continued to cause some major damage.

Listen in as Jewels talks about the day she decided to quit for good and how she began her process of recovery and ultimately a brand new life. We talk about the source that keeps Jewels grounded, her go-to morning practices to stay on top, and the advice she has to remind herself of all the time. Your recovery comes one step at a time, and if Jewels' story is anything to go by then there is a rich life waiting for you on the other side.

There are some things we don't question when it comes to our health. Like going to the emergency room with a broken bone or getting an annual check-up to make sure we're still in good health. What if we did the same for our mental health?

Welcome back to Warriors Unmasked! Chuck here, this week while Clint is out changing the world, I sit down with National Guard Veteran, author, podcaster, and mental health advocate Scott DeLuzio. Listen in as Scott tells his journey of following in his brother's footsteps and serving in Afghanistan, losing his brother in a firefight, and how he leaned on God for the peace to keep moving forward.

We talk about the struggle soldiers face when losing someone on the battlefield, how this affected Scott after he returned home, and the moment he realized he couldn't do this on his own. Join us as Scott talks about how he began to process the loss of his brother, finding the right help for him, and his routine check-ups to make sure his future is one of growth and healing.

This episode is full of heartbreak and comfort, struggles and victory, but most of all hope that you have what it takes. Not to just heal, but to discover the new you who has overcome all that's stood in your way. For more resources or to connect with Scott, check out the links below!

They say that laughter is the best medicine in the world, well, when it comes to mental illness it's not just medicine, it's a door to reconnecting with those around you.

Welcome back to another Warriors Unmasked episode! Today, Clint and I talk with key-note speaker, virtual business coach, mental health advocate, and all-around stand-up guy, Greg Kettner. He takes us on his journey of mental health when, two years ago, he was deemed along with thousands of others around the U.S. as "non-essential". What started off as a devastating blow ended with the realization of a dream and a heart for those who are struggling.

Join us as we talk about Greg's passion for helping others who are battling mental illness and the power of laughter that helps him. You'll learn why it's so important for us to laugh, how to make powerful connections with others, and how the gift of vulnerability can change your life for the better. Plus! Greg's practical tips and tricks for adding laughter into your life every day, and the self-care he practices to keep "working happy".

Hey, Chuck here, while Clint is out with other speaking engagements I'll be taking over the helm this week! Over the past two years, we think it's safe to say that we have all experienced the feeling of loss in one way or another…

Loss of sleep, loss of normal routines, loss of in-person connection and community, and unfortunately, many of us have lost loved ones. If you can relate or if you've ever experienced loss, then you might be interested in today's guest. I sit down with Nicki Pike who has shown incredible courage, perseverance, and strength through some major losses in life.

Nicki's journey is one of growth and loss, loss and growth to the point sometimes it feels like she is stuck on repeat. Listen in as Nicki talks about her close walk with loss and grief, filing for divorce, the diagnosis and eventual loss of her mother to dementia, and the unexpected and hard loss of her brother not long after. Life has knocked her down more than once these last few years but these challenges, these struggles, led to her finding her way to the person she is today.

Join us as she talks about navigating the different types of grief and how she realized self-care was more than just massages and spa days. We talk about the selfless act of putting yourself first because if she's not taking care of herself, there is no way she's taking care of her mother,

there's no way she's raising her daughter, and there is certainly no way that she is still running her business. You'll learn practical tips for processing grief and Nicki's own encouragement that no matter how hard it seems, you can get through this.

My hope is that this episode encourages you to keep putting one foot in front of the other so that you can find healing and peace in your life. For more resources, or to get in touch with us, check out the links below!

A recent study in the U.S. has shown that nearly 10 million Americans struggle with compulsive gambling every year. While it may not have physical effects like drug abuse or other addictions, it's still something that can damage your relationships, finances, and life.

Welcome back to Warriors Unmasked! Today we have an incredible conversation with father of two, professional speaker and mental health advocate, and recovering gambling addict, Patrick Chester. If the statistic previously shared hits close to home, you're going to want to stick around for this episode.

Eventually, leaving Patrick with no job, a marriage on the rocks, and sitting in jail.

The day he stepped out of jail was the first day he experienced freedom, not just in the physical, but from the overwhelming monster that a gambling addiction brings. You'll hear the best steps to begin the process of recovery, the support system you can find no matter where you are, and what life looks like free of addiction.
