    Ep. 134 Widowhood: A Wife’s Journey through Her Husband’s Cancer Diagnosis and after His Death
    2024/07/19
    Carol came from a “medical family” and she herself worked as a physical therapist. So when her dear husband’s cancer diagnosis was given, she pragmatically got into gear and started checking off all the boxes needed for their journey forward. What Carol was completely unprepared for, and couldn’t even imagine would impact her the way it did, like a steel wrecking ball, was after he died. How did Carol support herself and her husband throughout his journey with cancer? How did she find her feet again after his death? Learn some of the many important things a person in this situation needs to know to make it more bearable for both yourself and your dying loved one. Bio Carol Banens’ expertise comes from her personal experience with loss. The death of her husband six years ago sent her on a journey from deep grief to a place of gratitude and joy. This loss led her to become a Transformational Life Coach, a Certified Grief Educator, and a Grief to Gratitude Coach. Carol inspires people to integrate their grief into their life through speaking and coaching people to implement her C.H.O.O.S.E method. She is also the author of her book Kintsugi Your Heart: The Art of Living with Grief. She leads by example, helping others to find a life of meaning after loss.

    Ep. 130 Against All Odds: Jeremy Schall’s Path to Freedom and Purpose
    2024/06/19
    Fifty-four percent of incarcerated people in the United States have mental illness. Eighty-five percent of the prison population have an active substance use disorder or were incarcerated because of drugs. Jeremy Schall is one of these individuals. Coming from a family history with addiction and having his first psychiatric hospitalization at age seven, his name was written all over the prison walls. What happened to liberate Jeremy from his own mental prison while he was stuck for four hours in a prison shower filled with black mold? How did Jeremy turn his life around with so many cards stacked against him? Why didn’t he go down the road of no return like so many others who end up never leaving prison? What is his main message to anyone at risk of harming themselves or others? Find out from Jeremy the main component of making life work in your favor. Bio My name is Jeremy Schall and I am a living testament to the power of resilience and personal growth. Throughout my life I battled with mental health and addiction, facing some of the darkest moments imaginable. However, through sheer determination and unwavering support, I emerged from those depths. My journey to recovery was not easy, but it taught me invaluable lessons about self-reflection, inner strength, and the importance of seeking help. With the support of a strong recovery program, a dedicated network of loved ones, and my own commitment to healing, I was able to regain control over my life. Today I stand as a beacon of hope and inspiration for others on a similar path. I am deeply passionate about raising awareness for mental health, those justice impacted, and for those whose life has been transformed by addiction. I actively engage in prison reentry advocacy work to eradicate the stigma associated with these struggles. By sharing my own experiences, I strive to empower others to seek help, know they are not alone, and remind them that there is light at the end of the tunnel. “Those who have a 'why' to live, can bear with almost any 'how.’” - Viktor E.
