Heal The Hurt

Before you plan to listen to this episode: The audio had some struggles! It's going to be best to listen to this with headphones in a place with little to no background noise. We experienced some echo and some tech issues when we recorded, but didn't know in time! Sincere apologies!

But now: Matt shares his story as a man in recovery. He now lives in Kenya and works in the mining industry. He talks about some of his experiences that led to treatment and his life in recovery. This episode is extra special because Matt talks about some of his resistance to recovery, and he brought along someone who played a big role in his treatment awakening.

How We Find Love For People With Different Lifestyles or Beliefs From Our Own

Never will we justify or endorse someone causing harm to another person. Hurting others is wrong. So why does it happen? Jealousy? Envy? Fear? Trauma? If you are a victim of bullying, please know that you do not have to accept it. Please seek out someone you trust who can help, who WILL help. Together we can end bullying behaviors. We can heal wounds. We can make a kinder, more loving world. Check out this episode where a Jr High student talks about her experience being bullied by someone she thought was her friend.

Manase Tonga played football at BYU and in the NFL. He now works in the mental health field helping others recover from addiction issues, traumas, mental illness, and he helps people learn how to live a productive, happy life. Listen to him talk about memories from childhood in a big family, the pressures of being a Polynesian athlete, and how he dealt with leaving the world of athletics. Manase also works with his wife helping other Polynesians discover their strengths and skills outside of athletics and to find purpose and meaning in this life.

Get into a safe place, sitting or lying down, NOT driving or moving, and allow yourself to relax. Let yourself feel. 

Listen to Coach Tara Garrison. Part way through you'll hear her quote that I just love... "I call health my gateway drug to personal awakening." I thought that was just brilliant! Tara talks a bit about what got her into helping others, but even more about what keeps her in that space, and some of the experiences that have helped her heal and continue on the path of personal enlightenment. 

Chris spent some time with Shelley and Curt with Illuminate Recovery talking about life, healing, and becoming empowered.

I catch up with a friend who, at a very young age, started to experience significant physical limitations. But through her struggle, she has learned to notice the good around her, and she's focused on keeping a genuine smile on her face.
