In this Onward Podcast episode, Joshua Ebalz talks about how he’s survived trauma and is thriving forward. In the past few years, Joshua survived the unthinkable. Both of his brothers and his father passed away. Furthermore, Joshua shares his story and his belief that even through loss, after loss, after loss, after loss; there is still the chance for you to live your life in a healthy, constructive, hopeful way.  Also, overcoming adversity has to come from within. It will not come from someone else. Finally, living your life in the NOW requires you to understand your past and the trauma that lives in it and what you hope to accomplish in the future. Happiness will lie in your NOW if you are able to understand your past and not focus incessantly on your future. Joshua is a recent graduate of Atlanta's John Marshall Law School and is sitting for the bar exam in July 2022.  Resources Mentioned:  Joy Crowe’s (Joshua’s mom) Onward Podcast episode Reflections on Losing Two Sons to Overdoses & Nearly Losing Her Third to COVID-19 Joshua on LinkedIn Facebook - Joshua Ebalz Email Joshua - [email protected] Books recommended by Joshua:  The Power of Now, by: Eckhart Tolle The Confidence Gap: From Fear to Freedom, by: Russ Harris  What Happened to You? by: Bruce D.

Suzanne Falter is spreading the word about self care for extremely busy people. She used to think of self-care as a special treat — something she only bought herself occasionally. And, back then it took the form of a massage or a much anticipated spa day. Also, she always told herself she couldn’t afford it. Because, she had children to take care of, mouths to feed and a business to run. Therefore, self-care seemed like a low priority and a big, fat indulgence. Then Suzanne’s life fell apart. She lost her business. Her marriage ended, And she moved to the other side of the country. Then, her 22 year old daughter suddenly died. That is when Suzanne discovered that true self-care doesn’t require untold sums of money. What it requires is willingness. Furthermore, self care is all about learning to listen deeply and then trusting the answer that comes, no matter what. Now, Suzanne hosts the Self-Care for Extremely Busy Women podcast, and is the author of multiple self-help titles including The Extremely Busy Woman’s Guide to Self-Care. Her essays have appeared in SELF, More, Fitness, New Woman, and The New York Times, as well as O. What is being ‘extremely busy’ and costing you? Listen and learn the 5 basics of self-care, how to keep great self-care going in your life, and more.

A long time ago, Jeff Romig was asked a simple question: “If you could say one last thing to your dad, what would it be?” And, Jeff only needed four words: Don’t. F*cking. Kill. Yourself. Jeff Romig spent his career learning the ins and outs of community as a journalist, political strategist, nonprofit executive, and fundraiser. And, through each line of his resume, he’s fought a daily battle against his own mind. Furthermore, Jeff wrote Don't F*cking Kill Yourself: A Memoir of Suicide, Survival, and Stories That Keep Us Alive to remind us that the perfect LinkedIn profiles we browse through every day don’t tell the whole story. Consequently, in opening up about his life, Jeff hopes that people who share similar struggles will see their own value, push through their dark moments, embrace resiliency, and stay alive. Jeff experienced an abundance of healing through the writing process, especially in respect to his relationship with the trauma of his dad’s suicide. But, more than anything, he discovered – and now is rooted in – three key tools that help him navigate his mental illness and his darkest moments of suicidal ideation. 1. Reduce the Stigma by Sharing: Creating conversation and sharing about suicidal ideation is critical, not only to keep the ideas in your mind from turning into pure poison, but to help reduce the stigma on having these conversations publicly with others whether in person or through social media. 2. People, Passions & Experiences: To get through the darkest moments, is to root oneself in the people, passions, and experiences that bring joy and keep oneself alive. These are the stories Jeff shares in DFKY. When you can connect with these memories, you find that you’re given the perspective needed to get out of your own head. 3. Don’t. F*cking. Kill. Yourself. - “If I stay alive, I can do anything.”: Keeping this thought at the forefront of your mind leads you into remembering the first two tools, and, is the most powerful thing to remember in your darkest moments.
