About Daylight

Mental health is talked about now more than ever before, but we still have a long way to go. People have forgotten how to be empathetic to those struggling with mental health. I'm here to make sure that no one forgets, help me shine a light and keep these conversations in the daylight. My name is Dee and I've struggled with my mental health my whole life. I'm here to tell you that there is hope. You can fight your way back into the daylight and out of the depths of pain. This is my hope for daylight. Let's move forward. Together. I'll have guests share their stories of their own mental health journeys, giving them a platform to help others by sharing their own experiences. We'll bring comfort to those going through similar struggles and help the people who love them understand more deeply and empathetically. What they are going through and how to help. Just as importantly, we'll provide resources for those who are struggling. But don't forget, we're also gonna have a lot of fun. While this is a heavy topic, it doesn't mean we can't have moments of levity and laughter. I have found that these glimmers of joy keep us going in our darkest days. This podcast includes frank conversations about suicide and mental health. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts or a crisis, please reach out immediately to the Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255, or dial 988.

   You Can’t Rush Your Healing

   In this episode, we’ll hear from my friend, Mike Bucci, about his healing journey, both professionally and personally. Mike is the founder of Mindworx, where he helps high-performing executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders achieve success without sacrificing their peace, freedom, or fulfillment. Drawing on decades of corporate leadership, entrepreneurship, and personal exploration, Mike challenges the belief that meaningful change requires more effort, discipline, or self-improvement. The distinctive Mindworx method works beneath the surface of conscious thought, revealing the subconscious beliefs, emotional patterns, and internal conflicts that quietly drive stress, self-doubt, and limiting behaviors. Rather than adding more coping strategies, Mindworx helps people resolve the internal friction at its source, creating greater awareness, expanded choices, and the freedom to respond to life rather than react to it.

   All Star

   What happens when you lose your job mid-career? What is hustle culture and why is it bad for your mental health? Why do people put so much emphasis on what your job is? Why do we try and take our self worth from our employer? In today’s episode, we answer these questions and more. My special guest, Laura, and I talk about what happened when we both lost our jobs mid-career (one by choice and one not by choice). Our mental health tanked. We cried. We despaired. But, like every low in life, we always come back up stronger and fighting. Join us as we talk about our own experiences with job loss and navigating all the complexities around your occupation and your self worth. Podcaster’s note: This was recorded in June 2025. We are both employed now! Yay!

   I Am Not OK

   Daylight is a space dedicated to bringing light into the parts of mental health we’re often afraid to talk about. A space that reminds people they are seen, heard, and never alone. In this episode, together with our special guest Lee Black of Antilles Digital Media, we share a vulnerable conversation around addiction, healing, and breaking the stigma that keeps so many people suffering silently.

   Homecoming Queen?

   In this episode, my special guest, Sophie, and I will talk about the juxtaposition of what people perceive as your reality versus what actually is happening in your life. The reality is, we really don't know what someone is going through. I think if we talked more openly about what goes on behind closed doors, maybe we wouldn't feel so alone, and just maybe we would heal from some of the things that keep us up at night.
