Listen Up Adults! – We’ve got something to say! (A story about my transition to the gender I was supposed to be)

In this series, we are highlighting the voices of youth and giving them a forum to talk about what is on their minds. Ten year old ‘Matt’ joins us, along with his mom, to talk about his decision to live in this world in the way he has always felt…male. His words are so simple, yet so poignant, “Just BE who you are.” He goes on to remind us that we would all “just be happier” if we could accept each other.

SUGGESTED DISCUSSION or PRESENTATION TOPICS

OUR THOUGHTS MATTER: It would be an honor to share with your audience how (with God’s help) I overcame depression in 2016 by using a proven strategy to take thoughts captive and to be transformed by the renewing of the mind–sounds lofty – but I have practical methods to help others, and I include some brain science to back it all up.
OUR WORDS MATTER: The Bible tells us that there is life and death in the power of the tongue. I have tips and tricks to help others become more deliberate in how they express themselves and communicate with others.
OUR HEALTH MATTERS: I love to chat about the brain/gut connection, and how we can improve brain health through diet. The foods we eat may be affecting our moods and emotions more than we think.
OUR MINDSETS MATTER: Developing and fostering the mindsets of expectancy and gratitude may be just what we need to start and finish each day with success and joy. Not only do the mindsets we adopt each day open the door to new possibilities, they also protect us from the otherwise harsh realities and trials we’re bound to bump up against in our journey.
DITCH THE ____[you pick]: Choose the toxic thought, emotion, or mindset where your audience feels “stuck.” Is the time right to overcome fear, anxiety, or overwhelm and pivot in a new, healthy direction? I can share practical applications and hacks to help others boost their confidence and gain clarity in areas where they have stalled or feel stymied.

Isolation, Separation and Loneliness…Oh My!

Today’s podcast tackles the topic of isolation (an issue we know all too well as of late) and how it can boar it’s way into our psyche.

Sean Cuddihy on his journey from jail to his successful Room 9 Podcast

Sean Cuddihy is on a mission to bring authentic discussions regarding behavioral health to his popular podcast Room 9. Rich and Sean discuss how the “recovery” world of Substance Use Disorder is beginning to change and evolve beyond the 12-step model and touch on the things that have helped him to grow on his human journey.
Sean Cuddihy has been mastering the art of connecting Behavioral Health Organizations to the people they serve for over 3 years. Through Brand Therapy and Multimedia Production work Sean has figured out the most authentic and most affordable way to show the people who use your services that it is not just a business and that it’s not just about making money.

In 2018 Sean started “Room 9”. Starting out as just a podcast and then with the backing of a grassroots growing effort, Room 9 was eventually featured in “Podcast Business Journal” and received an $11,000 grant from the New York State Education Department.

Sean has been on both sides of the behavioral health world. He has used their services and is now working with them. By using Brand Strategy, Podcasting, Video Production, and Design Sean’s mission is to pull the veil back and RADICALLY TRANSFORM the way behavioral health organizations connect with the people who use their services.

The Behavioral Health universe is dying for differentiation and radical transformation. In a world where every company is the same, IN ORDER TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE YOU HAVE TO BE DIFFERENT.

Understanding Suicide (Part II)

In part II of our suicide series, Jann discusses the two suicide attempts that left her and Shari reeling for answers. While emotionally difficult for both as they re-lived the emotions they experienced; they felt the need to share. Jann highlights the fact that while suicide is a choice, it doesn’t need to be the final choice if we can help others find a glimmer of hope through connection. Despair, pain and guilt are dissected in this vulnerable discussion as both mother and daughter speak from two very different perspectives.

Shari and Jann travel the country speaking on trauma and resiliency. More about them and their book, Which Way? can be found at www.traumaspeakers.com
