Episode 77: Learning To Live Again After Trauma with John Alan Sebald, Part Two
What happens when a life-altering medical crisis forces you to completely reinvent who you are? In part two of our conversation with author John Sebald, we dive deep into the emotional aftermath of trauma and the surprising burden of survival guilt. John shares how he shifted his mindset from being a victim to embracing a new identity as a guide for others as we explore the profound, brain-wiring science of daily gratitude, the illusion of control, and how a literal bag of cut-off hospital clothes transformed from a symbol of pain into a source of immense power. If you are currently stuck in a dark place, this episode is a powerful reminder that you are not alone, you are not crazy, and there is always hope.<br /><br />Find out more about John's story and get your copy of 'Live Again!' at https://a.co/d/08wXKN6J<br /><br />Whether it's delivering a high-value employee assistance program, student support, or responding to a crisis in your organization or community, OnTopic with Empathia brings competence, compassion, and commitment to those who need it most.

Episode 76: The Battle No One Sees - Learning To Live Again After Trauma with John Alan Sebald, Part One
Life can change in an instant. For John Alan Sebald, that instant came on Valentine’s Day in 2021 when he tragically choked and suffered a non-shockable form of cardiac arrest right on his kitchen floor. Minutes away from being gone for good, a series of extraordinary miracles and fast-acting first responders brought him back to life. But as John quickly learned, walking out of the hospital was only the beginning of a much longer, hidden battle with PTSD, severe anxiety, and survival mode. In this powerful episode, host Kelly Parbs sits down with John, author of 'Live Again!: The Road Back from Burnout, Brokenness, and the Battles that No One Sees' to unpack his incredible journey of physical and emotional transformation.<br /><br /><br />Find out more about John's story and get your copy of 'Live Again!' at https://a.co/d/08wXKN6J<br /><br />Whether it's delivering a high-value employee assistance program, student support, or responding to a crisis in your organization or community, OnTopic with Empathia brings competence, compassion, and commitment to those who need it most.

Episode 75: Mind Over Matter: What is Mental Health? with Robert Biggs, Part Two
Wellness is often treated as a destination we "arrive" at, but in reality, it is a practice built through small, consistent actions. In this episode, host Kelly Parbs continues her conversation with Robert Biggs to explore how sustainable wellness is achieved by bridging the gap between physical health and emotional resilience. Tune in to hear Robert's share his personal 'renaissance' story when he added just one hour of rest to his sleep schedule, along with his thoughts on the impact of nutrition, the gut-brain connection, emotional regulation, and actionable strategies for setting incremental, reasonable goals in sleep, exercise, and nutrition. Remember, self-care isn't selfish - it's essential.<br /><br />Find out more about Robert and his work at Wellworks at https://www.wellworksforyou.com. <br /><br />Whether it's delivering a high-value employee assistance program, student support, or responding to a crisis in your organization or community, OnTopic with Empathia brings competence, compassion, and commitment to those who need it most.
