EPISODE #74: Lisa Jakub Embraces Her “Weird” – You Can, Too

<p>If you recognize her face or name, it could be for a plethora of reasons. The accomplished author, mental-wellness advocate, speaker, podcast host, and yoga instructor is known for normalizing mental health by telling her story. She also acted for 18 years, starting at the age of 4 and bowing out of show-biz altogether at 22. To see Lisa Jakub as Lydia Hillard in Mrs. Doubtfire or Alicia Casse in Independence Day, you would never suspect that she has been dealing with panic attacks, anxiety, and depression since the age of 11. That’s why she stepped away from the Hollywood spotlight and chose to shine light on her own mental health – she wanted to show others who struggle with mental illness that it’s okay to be vulnerable and not feel ashamed of their diagnosis. In other words, it’s okay to be “weird.”</p> <p>In this episode of “Mental Health Matters,” Lisa Jakub and Executive Director Tom Duff, LCSW talk about why Lisa “wouldn’t be me without the anxiety.” And why, even though mental health and mental illnesses present challenges, they can also create great successes. As someone whose story is familiar to an estimated 16 million people in the U.S. who “struggle with depression – and I include myself in that statistic,” Lisa knows that mental health is “real, and it’s not shameful, and there is help available. You can bring it to the light, you can tell the truth, you can go to a meeting, you can reach out to a friend. None of us are alone.” So go ahead…embrace your “weird.”</p>

Two Normal Dudes- With Tom Duff

<p>Did Covid help us to be more reflective? Our Two Normal Dudes – Jon Franko and Suvir Dhar – along with podcast host Tom Duff, LCSW, think so. They believe that some positives have come out of this past year, including growth opportunities that required us to reflect on how we really look at ourselves in the mirrors that we often use to define ourselves in the world. Tune in to this week’s <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/mentalhealthmatters?__eep__=6&amp;__cft__[0]=AZXUiziWK6NotoKnFOfjJrQNuhimYEKUBtuT24PL2kULkfUc7wStXdsX6vTf2kHnLzag4FOb2KejSHgsDDczegzpSNueIBYfgOkJQk2HbYwnXwoDM5fzZtXtW-deHL64C4wA4rCX7HGn2DgkXhrqGk-ZRKLPYpIl2RpzQZt65F42oxPfH8mhwbWgJll54Pi_-nk&amp;__tn__=*NK-R">#MentalHealthMatters</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/podcast?__eep__=6&amp;__cft__[0]=AZXUiziWK6NotoKnFOfjJrQNuhimYEKUBtuT24PL2kULkfUc7wStXdsX6vTf2kHnLzag4FOb2KejSHgsDDczegzpSNueIBYfgOkJQk2HbYwnXwoDM5fzZtXtW-deHL64C4wA4rCX7HGn2DgkXhrqGk-ZRKLPYpIl2RpzQZt65F42oxPfH8mhwbWgJll54Pi_-nk&amp;__tn__=*NK-R">#podcast</a> to see that there’s more to one’s reflection than how we look on a Zoom screen.</p>

EPISODE #62: Two Normal Dudes – and the Real “F” Word Guest:Jon Franko and Suvir Dhar

<p>The “real ‘F’ word”. There’s such power behind it. Just saying it helps you to release all those pent-up emotions that have been bottling up inside you. It frees your mind from all the second-guessing that runs through your thoughts, over and over and over again. Take it from two normal dudes: The “real ‘F’ word” says it all! But why are so many males, so many “dudes” in particular, afraid to include “Feelings” in their conversations?</p> <p>Two regular guys, Jon Franko, the CEO of Gorilla 76 and past podcast guest, and Suvir Dhar, a lawyer, talk with fellow Leadership St. Louis alumnus, Executive Director Tom Duff, LCSW, about how the men in their lives helped to shape their understanding of mental health. They talk about how talking about their feelings and allowing themselves to be vulnerable have been life-changing. They also talk about the “beauty of therapy.” Yup. Two dudes and a therapist, all talking about their feelings and other beautiful things that make life rejuvenating. There really is power behind the “F” word. Just ask some dudes!</p>
