The Revolutionized Mind

Happy Friday! This week, we are joined by the CEO and Founder of TadHealth, Ben Greiner. A few years ago, Ben found himself supporting his best friend through a mental health crisis situation. At the time, he didn’t have the knowledge or resource information to help his friend in the way that he wanted. This sparked Ben’s passion for really getting involved in working in this space. He initially founded the TadProject to help educate people on what to do in crisis situations but quickly discovered that he wanted to do more. Then came TadHealth, a social impact for-profit company that aims to simplify access to mental health resources for everyone. Through leveraging both education and technology, Ben and his team have created a platform that makes mental health services more accessible for those who need it, when they need it. Tune in to learn more about TadHealth and find out how you can get involved.

This week, we are joined by mental health advocate and podcast host, Todd Rennebohm. Before Todd began working in the mental health space, he was heavily struggling with an alcohol addiction. But, like many, he didn’t realize how serious it was. In this episode, he shares his story with mental illness, explains how it was affecting different areas of his life, and highlights how difficult the road to recovery can be. After several attempts at getting help and experiencing many bumps along the way, Todd landed in a 28-day treatment program that ultimately changed his life. He wrote a children’s book, began advocating for mental health, and is now in his 6th year of sobriety. Todd’s story is complex, authentic, and incredibly inspiring. I hope that anybody listening to this will take away the message that: recovery is possible and hard work pays off! Trigger warning: self-harm, suicide, and addiction are talked about in this episode. Please ensure that you are in the right headspace to consume this content before listening to this conversation.

Happy Friday friends! Today we are joined by author and advocate, Angela Hartlin. In this episode, Angela talks about her experience with Dermatillomania, which is also known as Excoriation Disorder. Skin Picking falls under the “Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviours” (BFRBs) category which is something that not many people know about - myself included. Angela explains what the disorder looks like, how it impacted her life, and why both advocacy and treatment put her on the road to recovery. She breaks down some common misconceptions and emphasizes the importance of healthcare providers getting educated on disorders such as these. I learned so much from this conversation, and I hope you do too.

Happy Friday! I’m so excited to be getting back into our regular guest conversations this week. Today, we are joined by Simon Rinne from Mindful Men. Simon is a Social Worker and Podcast Host who is passionate about creating safe spaces for men to talk about their mental/emotional health. In this episode, Simon shares his experience with mental illness, toxic masculinity, and mindfulness. For over 20 years, he was living with OCD, depression, and anxiety but did not know what any of this meant or how to get help. Being a “man”, he was scared to open up about what he was going through because he feared what other people would think of him. When he went to seek therapy for the first time, his whole life changed as he was introduced to the idea of mindfulness. Simon turned this into a successful platform where he shares his story, helps other men become more emotionally aware, and promotes mindful practices and strategies. This conversation was super insightful and I hope it helps to improve the gendered constraints around emotional well-being.

Happy New Year and welcome to 2023! What a wild couple of months it has been. Thank you for giving me the space to get myself back on track after a very overwhelming time- I'm so happy to be back! I wanted to do a quick catch-up episode to explain where I've been at, share some of the struggles I was facing, and also discuss my goals for the upcoming year. In this episode, I talk about my most recent experience with depression. As a passionate mental health advocate, I strongly believe in the importance of sharing the negative sides of mental illness. So, I open up about what that looked like for me. I also share some of the things I'm looking forward to this month and expand on the six words that I've selected to guide me throughout the year. I hope that you are using this time to reflect on the past 12 months and set some intentions for the next 12 months. Trigger warning: suicidal ideation and self-harm are discussed in this episode.

She talks about her past and how these things affected her, but also how they still impact her today and some of the things that she's doing to cope with it. Amanda also opens up about her feelings of loneliness, lack of fulfillment, and navigating the therapy journey. Trigger warning: suicide and self-harm are talked about in this episode.

Happy Friday! If you've been feeling overwhelmed lately, you're not the only one. Life has been kicking my a$$ lately and I'm definitely noticing some early signs of burnout. However, it has made me much more aware of how I'm spending my time and energy and this has been a blessing. On that note, our guest today, Megan Gallagher, talks all about making yourself a priority and learning to find balance in your life. In this episode, Megan shares her own personal mental health story, explains how she got started working in this space, and offers LOTS of great advice, life lessons, and practical strategies to improve our well-being. She talks about mindset shifts, spirituality, and protecting our peace. This conversation is super motivating and inspiring, so I hope you all love it!

Happy Friday! This week on TRM, we are joined by mental health advocate and researcher, Sam Gerry. This is honestly one of my favourite interviews I’ve ever done on this podcast! I think Sam brings so much value and many important perspectives to this conversation. He shares his own story, his advocacy journey, and what his current research entails. Beyond that, we discuss suicide prevention on a deeper level and shed some light on different issues that exist in this space. I genuinely learned so much from Sam and think that this is an episode that will benefit anyone working in the mental health field. Trigger warning: suicidality is discussed in this episode. I encourage you to take a quick second to check in with yourself before listening to this one to make sure you're in the right headspace to receive this information!

Happy first week of November (the best month of the year)! This week on The Revolutionized Mind, we are joined by Emotion and Trauma Release Coach, Skylar Sustin. In this episode, we talk all about emotions, including the mindsets behind them, what trapped emotions are and how they affect us, and also learning how to become more aware of the reasons behind what we’re feeling. Skylar gives a lot of practical advice about incorporating intentionality and self-reflection when trying to understand our emotions. She also takes a trauma-informed approach when working with her clients. As someone who has always struggled with my emotions, this conversation was super relatable and informative.

Happy Friday! This week's episode is very eye-opening and unique. Our guest, Tyler, shares his experience with bullying, how that affected his mental health, and how he got to the place he's at today. Throughout his early school years, Tyler was getting bullied nearly every day which led to him having extreme anxiety about going to school. This anxiety also turned into a depression where he was feeling 'fed up' with everything that was happening to/around him. He ended up getting homeschooled in Grade 12, which actually improved his academic performance, as well as his mental health. After college, he found himself a part of a new social group that allowed him to express himself in a way that he was never able to before. Tyler's story is incredibly vulnerable, raw, and inspiring. Trigger warning: this episode talks about bullying, suicide, and violence.
