Woah... where do we begin.  In this episode you'll meet Alex, a Sailor in the US Navy.  She tells the story of how she maintained, prepared and launched an aircraft assigned to her, only to be told hours later that it had went down at sea.  Alex open up her wounds and show everyone her past, teenage years and adulthood in the Navy.  She reached out to us at WIILT wanting to share her story to help others and let yall know its OK to ask for help.  Thank you for tuning in!

In this episode we talk with Ian Acker, CEO of Fit To Recover.  His Mantra is defined by his past; safety equals Connection, and as a former addict whom survived a suicide attempt, drug addiction, and his constant run-ins with the law, he is a humble man, a living proof that no matter what kind of cards are dealt to you or walk of life you come from, you can succeed and be happy. Make the difference in your own life. Take the time to enjoy this battle of the evil within us all and the conquest and triumph with Ian. #FTR.  We hope you enjoy this episode, theres a special treat at the end where Ian and Tre spit a few bars.  Thanks!

In this episode we talk about Acceptance.  But what exactly is this word, acceptance?  It places us in the moment, it puts a definition on pain , trauma and is the first step towards conquering yourself.  Once we accept (insert what pains you) then it no longer holds power over you.

Today we talk about how self control affects everything we do from the second we wake up till the moment we close our eyes at night.  Why do some people seem "better" at controlling their impulses than others?  How does zero control lead to addiction and bad habits?  Does having a mental health illness make you more pron to losing self control in a number of ways?  These are the things we discuss today with a live FB audience.  Be sure to tune in on tuesday's to see our live stream.  Thank you everyone. 

On this episode we discuss mental health with Australian life coach: Greg Gillies.  He shares his story on how he was an All-Star Rugby player, Big Time Business Man, and also shares how he also fell.  It is a good take from a man who knows how only striving for achievements can ultimately bring you down in a way. We really liked this interview and hope you feel the same.  Once again thanks for the support!

On this episode we interview a licensed clinical psychologist by the name of Aimee Daramus, Psy.D., L.C.P, out of Chicago Illinois.  She shares her side of the table on seeing patients.  If you have ever felt hesitant to call a therapist or to possibly book an appointment this is a good episode to listen to.  Aimee walks us through how an appointment should go and things to find in a therapist so you can feel comfortable.  Her direction of treatment adapts to the person needs and not her own agenda.  She can help in the following: ptsd, anxiety, depression, and addiction.  Let us know what you think on our FB .  Once again thanks for the support!   

On this one we’re discussing masks, and rightly so its titled, the man of a thousand masks. Kind of like what are the different faces we show society to cover up what’s really going on inside. Sometimes it’s a big front to protect ourselves at other times it’s the true demon we really are. Its somewhat of a follow up from our last episode where we spoke with Joshua shea and his porn addiction and the many masks, he wore to hide it. Today heath and I share our stories regarding masks, from alcohol, to women and I share the story of how I had to hardness some strength to perform CPR this past weekend. PTSD, anxiety, depression, suicide, addiction and mental health.
