episode 005 | Sara Lemke
Sara Lemke sits down on this episode of the Mind Reboot podcast and shares her incredible story of "Revival."
As a behavioral health executive in her previous venture, Sara was running six different companies and living for work. Realizing that she wasn’t truly living life or enjoying what she was doing, she took a step back to reevaluate.
“I was like, you know what, we're gonna open up a private practice, a group practice where we do therapy and really use our skills to help people on their healing journey. You know, that was what it was always about. And I felt like somewhere along the line, I lost that and I was like, it's time to get back to the basics. So hence Revival Therapy was born.”
Sara shares her own beautiful story of ruin when everything in life crashed down around her and she hopped in her car with her pug heading West and ended up in California. She describes how it was a time where she leaned completely into her faith and God and found in all of it that her true calling was to help people. And not just “fixing broken fingernails” as she puts it.
“I really want to help people who are in a place of ruin, desperation, not sure where to turn. But through my own pain, through that struggle, I've really been able to help people and relate to people who are going through ruin and who want to get on the other side, but they just are not sure how to do it.”

episode 004 | Alexandra Hoerr
Alexandra Hoerr sits down on this episode of the Mind Reboot Podcast to tell us more about her journey in the mental health space and about her company Optimum Joy.
Growing up on a farm in Northeast, Missouri, Alex and her family were excommunicated from their religious community when she was around 16/17 years old. It was a significantly lonely time for her but she discusses how it lent itself to truly understanding who she was from a spiritual component.
She goes on to tell us how a woman in her life played a huge role in helping her through a very difficult time. While the woman wasn’t a therapist, it planted the seed in Alex’s mind from an early stage that perhaps she, too, wanted to go into a profession to help others.
“So it wasn't like I just had this dream and I went out for it. It was more like step-by-step, that it really was revealed to me.”
Alex got her start in community mental health working with under-resourced neighborhoods. After experiencing burn out, quitting her job, and living on her sister’s couch for a while, she dug deep into what it is she really wanted to do.
“I really just started to kind of think up who am I, what are my values? What do I want this to be? And to really kind of create what is a for-profit business, but one that does a lot of good and really supports people's growth.”

episode 003 | Marriage + Family Therapy
On this episode of the Mind Reboot Program we have an enlightened conversation with Josh Waters, a licensed marriage and family therapist as well as the Clinical Director of Envision U and an adjunct professor at Adler University.
Josh admits early in the conversation that “therapist” was not a job title he ever thought would apply to him. He takes us all on his journey from growing up in a small town in Iowa to how his desire to be at least 1,000 miles away from home took him to a grad program in Georgia.
He explains how he was able to leverage his own white privilege in Georgia post grad school helping bring down recidivism rates in the Georgia juvenile justice system. Understanding the true underlying reasons of why these kids were acting out was a key component in helping them heal and stay out of the justice system.
“That's why marriage and family therapy is about whatever that family system is. It's really about systems. I really wish we were called licensed systems therapists because that's what we're working with; systems of communities. Of governments, of families, of couples, of people's relationships with themselves.”
Bringing the conversation to how Josh found himself in Chicago, Josh talks about his therapy origin story. It all started, he tells us, when his childhood best friend committed suicide their Senior year of high school. Seeing how that affected his friend’s family and their community triggered a spark in Josh to invest in helping families.
He goes on to talk about the tangential trauma in his life that became integral parts of his journey and dive deep into what exactly therapy is, what it means to people, and how it can truly help transform people's lives.
Join us on this beautiful and powerful journey as we hear Josh Waters touch on difficult topics and how there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

episode 002 | Art as Therapy with Jenni Rook
Jenni Rook specializes in art therapy which includes music, art, drama, and dance movement therapy.
“What we know about the brain and the body is that they're very connected and it's important to engage them both in the therapy process. And when we bring the arts into therapy, you have another way of expressing yourself.”
Jenni explains that art therapy is for anyone who’s open to engaging in something a bit different and they don’t have to be proficient in the arts whatsoever. It can certainly be for those who haven’t had success with traditional forms of therapy.
Jenni chats about where people can start when it comes to working through personal troubles by taking part in the arts. “Start with what feels good,” Jenni states. She also talks about how somewhere in time, we, as a society, lost our connection with the arts. Long ago, art and medicine were so closely linked and along the way, they split.
Tune is as Jenni shares about everything from the scientific aspect of art therapy to how she strikes a healthy balance in her own life, and everything in between. Jenni also imparts some helpful tidbits we can all incorporate into our everyday lives immediately to start seeing a shift in our mindsets and outlook on life.

episode 001 | "Recovering to..." with MartinJon Garcia
Recovery Specialist, MartinJon Garcia, talks about the principles and strategies behind what he teaches and the healing that comes as a result.
MartinJon works primarily with those who work with people suffering from addictions.
“So many of us are caregivers today, and I want to help caregivers fight fatigue.
And I feel like the best way to do that is to start ‘recovering to’ something and to understand yourself within that framework.”
He chats about how important it is to take care of yourself first before you can even begin to help others. MartinJon explains how this is a result of what he believes to be fatigue stemming from emotional discord. To help others recover, you first need to recover yourself.
He goes on to delve into the mind programming most of us unconsciously have gone through and MartinJon explains how we all have some type of ‘pacifiers’ that we use as a crutch that can be holding us back from so much.
“But in being checked out, it doesn't actually allow rest. Doesn't actually allow your body to do what it is meant to do, which is heal.”
MartinJon has a revelatory discussion around how we unconsciously create our lives where having a ‘bad day’ is normal enough that we have a go-to “chill out” activity that we need at the end of every work day. This episode is one you don’t want to miss and will leave you questioning your own “why’s” behind why you do what you do and how to recover to something that can bring your best self out to shine.
