Profile #6: Ed DeCosta - Finding my way back after a brain tumor
<p>Today we are talking to Ed DeCosta.</p> <p>Back in the summer of 2017, for those who know Ed- something very strange happened. He suddenly disappeared. Here was a man who was very much in the public eye, in front of thousands of people, speaking and influencing - training and coaching, and in Ed's way, cracking countless jokes and telling story after story. A man loved and admired by thousands all of a sudden was no longer leading training sessions and posting on his social accounts. What happened?</p> <p>Today's profile dives into the story of Ed's life with a brain tumor and how he made it through to the other side, all with the love and support of his family and friends, who walked with him step by step out of the valley. </p>

Profile #5: Matthew Henry - Managing depression at college
<p>Today we are talking to Matthew Henry about depression on college campuses. </p> <p>A recent study from Boston University showed that 80% of students on college campuses are struggling with their mental health. Matthew is in that 80%. Growing up in Australia, as an Indian American, he felt “less than” all of his classmates. He learned to manage his depression through playing sports. He found that being part of a team helped him feel equal to everyone else. Race didn’t matter. </p> <p>Then in middle school everything changed again when his family moved to the United States. Once again feelings of being “less than” resurfaced. And once again, he managed his way through his depression by playing sports. However, before heading to college he fell into a bad place where he felt no value to his family, his friends, his community. Searching to find peace, he wrote a suicide note. One phone call made all of the difference in Matthew's life, perfectly timed by a friend who cared. </p> <p>Because of that friend Matthew is weeks away from graduating from Georgetown University with his MBA. He has given a TedTalk, published two books and is writing his third. He has become a champion in helping others and is known to say “ I URGE to you to reach out to someone who is going through a tough time. By reaching out you could be saving someone’s life - the way someone saved mine.”</p> <p>I know Matthew's words will inspire you as much as they have me.</p>

Profile #4: Elizabeth N - Living with an invisible, rare disease
<p>Our guest today is Elizabeth.</p> <p>For all of her life, Elizabeth was healthy and active. An avid runner, she worked as a speech pathologist, was happily married and raising two beautiful children. Then at age 52, life changed dramatically for her as she started to not feel well. She experienced pain in her arms and chest. She struggled to catch her breath. As she was undergoing test after test with no diagnosis, she was in a serious car accident and the pains and symptoms increased. Month after month passed, different symptoms would surface and lead to more questions and more misdiagnosis. Finally, after over six months seeing over 10 different doctors including eight specialists, she was given her diagnosis, a rare and serious disease called AL amyloidosis.</p> <p>The various treatments Elizabeth went through from chemo to experimental drugs, took a toll. She eventually had to pass her students onto another speech pathologist, which broke her heart as these kids gave her a true sense of purpose. Elizabeth's story is one of courage and grace in the middle of pain and uncertainty. It's also a good reminder for us to open our eyes to those struggling with things we can't see. The signs are there around us every single day. I know Elizabeth's words will inspire you as much as they do me.</p>
