14 JUL. 2025 · “We’re not looking for answers outside ourselves, we know how to find them within."
Today’s guest is Estefana Johnson, LCSW, a trauma therapist and Director of Clinical Training at ARISE Alliance, who’s leading the launch of a powerful new therapy model called Critical Memory Integration (CMI™). CMI™ is a modality that marries many components of evidenced-based trauma informed care into one gentle, quick and safe template for providers. CMI™ teaches that the client is the expert who can heal with experiential space where their subconscious can learn what it already intuitively knows. Engaging components of the program include using curiosity as an asset and defining mood and traumatic signals to learn and modify how you have adapted to past experiences. Estefana brings a passion and energy to this modality borrowing from her background with at-risk and foster care children with ASA Now, being a team player on Jacob’s Law legislature & her own personal journey as a first generation Mexican-American woman. CMI™ is potentially groundbreaking as a simple, intuitive & effective intervention for anyone suffering from trauma or mood dysregulation.

26 JUN. 2025 · “We wanted to be honest…and not try and solve it in 14 minutes.” Megan Peta Hill.
Roxanne Fernandes and Megan Peta Hill are co-writers & co-directors on ECHO, a short film exploring the true and painful recovery journey of an eating disorder. Roxanne & Megan co-direct the film & Megan is a lead actor. They have put together a talented and dedicated team including producer, Makalya McIntosh; Dave Chick, composer and Robert Zawistowski, director of Photography.
The short follows a day in Lana’s life where the noise and pressure of her eating disorder play host to every moment and experience. The short film takes a stark, poignant and uncomfortable look at the impact of an eating disorder, including how the disorder hijacks Lana’s entire physical & psychological wellness & threatens her relationships. Sharp, pulsing & emotive sounds & cinematography paint a picture on screen to how her ED brain misinterprets innocuous comments, how she fights to keep her story stuffed down in a self-shaming silence and how behaviors can be a comforting release from the relentless ED ‘noise.’
The film is currently finding exposure in film festivals across the US and Canada while fundraising for a feature length opportunity.

11 JUN. 2025 · Dr. Michelle & DeAnne Sherman are the passionate co-authors of “Loving Someone with a Mental Illness or History of Trauma” and “I’m Not Alone: A teen’s guide to living with a parent who has mental illness or trauma.”
Both books illustrate the depth, strain and nuances of managing these challenging relationships. They offer detailed steps, visual guides, skills & practice, reflection options & real-life stories to inspire and support families and loved ones.
Michelle recognizes the barriers to accessing and maintaining mental health support for anyone, but she and her mother wrote this book deliberately to fill a large void in addressing families who suffer, particularly teens.
They wonderfully craft a resource that can serve as your mental health support encyclopedia as well as a soothing tool that relays: “you are not alone & you can be supported & understood!”

4 JUN. 2025 · "You don't have to live this way!" For over 10 years Corinne Santore has been treating first responders & teaching them how to accept and regulate their nervous system and process work traumas! She demystifies trauma, 'little T's' and 'big T's' and the impact work trauma can have on a first responder's personal & work life if left unresolved or filed incorrectly in the brain. Bilateral stimulation from movement, beats or EMDR are just a few tools she explores. A vulnerable and underserved population, she advocates for global awareness & tolerance to getting help and a world where EMDR, emotional processing and regulation tools are preventive and normative.

27 MAY. 2025 · "Taking medicine and then being a completely different person is scary"
It's easier to list the meds Ian hasn't taken, then the ones he has over his recovery journey! He has a long history managing an eating disorder, mood & sleep disturbance. Now in a solid recovery place, he shares how meds were essential at times, how to use genetic testing to gauge efficacy, when treatment overshadows meds, going to your baseline and trusting yourself (sometimes) even without chemical support!

20 MAY. 2025 · Sensitive Content Warning: discussion contains anorexic behaviors, self-harm and medical restraints.
Restraint chairs, sedatives, forced feeds, isolation from family, misdiagnoses and COVID make for a super daunting recovery ride - but Luisa rides the wave like a boss into her current recovery!
Luisa offers 3 takeaways:
1- Misdiagnosing Anorexia and ARFID
2- Medical Trauma in ED recovery
3- Impact of being young in treatment
"You wouldn't have recognized me: I was a completely different person!"
Luisa is now 17, telling us about her mental health and eating disorder recovery journey that started at 7. She was identified and treated for ARFID at 11 when panic attacks started, but that only told half her story. Eventually, she was diagnosed with Anorexia, and proceeded to be bounced between treatment centers, medical floors and psychiatric wards for the next 3 years. Learning to label and forgive the traumas, learning to trust her resilience and voice and learning how to find better ways to serve young people in the mental health community are just a few of the gifts she shares!

29 ABR. 2025 · Diets, Trends, Pills, Fads Don’t Work!
3 Takeaways:
- OA versus FA versus ED Treatment
- Semaglutide for the Win
- Learning you are more then your size - so much more!
Tracie Guggenheim has tried it all and has a lot to share about her recovery path for binge eating disorder and anorexia. She shares what it’s like to be told to lose 10 pounds at 11 years old, then watch your weight swing like a pendulum for years and years rarely feeling comfortable in your own skin and then finally finding peace with her body and an intention to feel well, not to fit a certain aesthetic.
