A new friend and fellow stand up comedian Brian Farrell and I discuss his experience with Multiple Personality Disorder AKA Dissociative Identity Disorder (D.I.D.). We also talked about his life changing brain injury he experienced in 2005, and how he has approached life since. Of course, we talked about stand up, but not just simply that, but how doing comedy made a big impact on Brian's mental health.

Had the opportunity to sit down and talk to Kim Martin who is the owner of QC Fuel in the Quad Cities. She is also a certified Health and Life coach as of recently, so we made sure to dig into that in addition to being a small business owner during the pandemic. Kim is a very driven person who wants to inspire others (especially women) to be the best versions of themselves. We could have talked forever.

Chris is a local Quad City comedian and new friend of mine. He's just an all around great, goofy guy who I knew I had to have on the show. We discussed a variety of topics including depression, ADD, sobriety, term limits for politicians, stand up comedy, and why Chris thinks everything is weird now.

James aka Lobo and I talked about starting over, success not equating to happiness, unhealthy fear of success and failure, anxiety, depression, and much more.

Another new episode with a new comedy friend. They are all very unique in their own way, there's not doubt about that. Andy McGraw was a great guest to have on to talk about comedy, depression, self awareness, and closure.

Kept this episode light with my new friend Austin Ingels. We talked about comedy, his podcast with our other comedian friend JD, as well as dating in your late 20's and 30's. Austin is lucky to not have any diagnosed disorders, but I did learn he is far from perfect, and we had a great conversation. Follow Austin on IG: https://www.instagram.com/aingels_onthegram/

This episode was actually recorded for a Facebook live back in May of 2021. Brandon has been cutting my hair on and off and we love to talk about mental health (and hop-hop music). This was recorded while he was cutting my hair, so the audio is not the best, but we got to talk about COVID and the impact on his business, as well as his mental health journey. Hope to have him on again soon.

Finally did a solo podcast just to talk about my life, what I have been up to, and to continue to share my recovery journey (mental health and addiction) with the world. Also talked about tough conversations, compliments, dating life, and enjoying my alone time. Shared my opinion on the "news" today as well. Have an opinion, guest, or topic idea?

My friend Katie recently attempted suicide and wanted to share her story with the world. This is a very deep episode with at least 1 trigger warning, but you'll hear a lot about hope, as well as ways to cope if you ever find yourself in a dark place. Katie has a new outlook on life and was very honest on this episode about her how her life has been changing after her attempt. She mentioned her number being in this bio, but if you really need to get a hold of her email mdoverthinker@gmail.com and I will have her reach out to you.

Jenna Overbaugh, LPC and I went live on Facebook to talk about something very important to me, and that is OCD(Obsessive Compulsive Disorder). This is a great episode if you want to learn about OCD and hear about it from someone who has it and also someone who helps treat it.

Liz and I had the chance to discuss a lot on our Instagram live. We talked about Iowa, Mental Health, TikTok, Relationships, and even conspiracy theories. Liz recently blew up on TikTok after making a post about living in Iowa, so she is stuck with the username @LizfromIowa forever. People from Iowa like to stick together so we are basically best friends now.

Kyndra and I talk comedy, checking in on the people you care about, addiction, and realizing that no one really knows how to adult.
