Dr. Amy Williams (https://theheadstrongproject.org/our-team/dr-amy-m-williams/) is the group’s Chief Clinical Officer, and Tony Liles (https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-j-liles/) is a veteran and mental health advocate helping connect other veterans with the group and take advantage of their services. Both are trying to remove the stigma surrounding talking about mental health issues in the military, specifically trauma, and normalize speaking about it openly and getting help when it’s needed. We discuss the varying forms of trauma, what PTSD looks like, how to spot signs of PTSD, how to find help, and specifically what resources and support are provided by The Headstrong Project. It’s a very vulnerable, honest, emotional, and needed conversation and we were honored to have it. There is truly a mental health crisis across the country among those who have served our country, and they deserve acceptance and support from the other members of a grateful nation. If you or someone you care about is currently serving in the military or are veterans and need help working through trauma and PTSD, please connect them with The Headstrong Project at theheadstrongproject.org (https://theheadstrongproject.org).

With Becca Bailey of the Instagram page "Boise With Kids". 40:47 no In a very impromptu discussion, Natalie sits down with Becca Bailey from the media account Boise With Kids (https://www.boisewithkids.com) to discuss this current epidemic of burnout. They had already been chatting for a couple of hours about how they are both seeing and experiencing massive burnout in 2024, and the toll social media seems to be taking on their mental health. They decided to hit the record button in case anyone else was feeling the same. They admit they don’t have a lot of answers, and this was less of an interview and more a conversation between two friends trying to figure out why they are going a little crazy at times. If you also find yourself feeling like you’re not quite figuring out this new world we’re all living in, come along on this chat, and maybe you’ll feel less alone.

In this episode, Shane takes the wheel and lays out his lofty plans for 2024. It feels a little awkward to him to talk so much about himself and his personal goals, but he doesn’t let that stop him. The exercise of sharing goals with a partner becomes a vehicle for talking about a list of important topics such as healthy habits, shared household responsibilities, spousal support, equal ownership of romance, mental health, liberation in relinquishing control, the value of individual and couples therapy, healthy masculinity, intentional time with kids, acceptance of and planning for death (not as morbid as it sounds), and taking control of our quality of life in 2024. Yeah, we hit a lot of topics. More than anything, we hope that Shane’s energy for the new year and how he goes about setting and achieving goals inspires you to move to action to take control of this year with hope and confidence (even if a nerdy spreadsheet may not be the tool that would work for you). You can do great things, and we’re here to help with our ramblings. Happy New Year!

This local group’s mission is to bring awareness to mental health and suicide prevention. These two intertwined issues are affecting so many of our loved ones and neighbors. Just a cursory peek into the dismal statistics will show you that this is a new epidemic that touches every religion, political party, every state and city, age group, gender, and socioeconomic class level. It seems to be as indiscriminate as COVID. And in the wake of COVID, mental health issues and suicide are surging at a terrifying rate. This isn’t something that’s happening outside our borders; it’s here, in our cities, in our neighborhoods, and inside our own homes. September’s story is both heartbreaking and inspiring. We’re amazed to see what she and her family have been through, and how much impact they’ve had in the aftermath of personal tragedy. Their organization is a powerful local hub of resources and support for those struggling with mental health issues or thoughts of suicide, those grieving from the death of a loved one, and those who want to help the ones they love who are being crushed under the weight of their struggles. We encourage you to visit their website, bookmark it, save the numbers in your phone, and if you’re so moved, get involved with the effort. Because the numbers undeniably show that at some point each of you will either wrestle with the burden of mental health and suicidal thoughts, or have the crucial opportunity to support someone close to you. When that time comes, you’ll want these resources. We first learned about Connection Is The Cure last year when we attended their annual event at the Idaho Center in Nampa, and have been eager to speak with them ever since. We’re honored to share with you this conversation and spotlight this amazing local cause. So join us for a conversation with September Frogley of Connection Is The Cure.
