I am so excited to publish this episode about our 5 birthrights and a return to Pia Mellody's Model. This episode is critical to understanding the perspective we bring to the table at Community Routes. This whole episode is full of personal breakthroughs for Samuel and Sarah as we tackle some significant topics. What rights are we owed as humans? Where are we wounded?
As Julie will cover, "to look at these core issues is not to blame, but to get our story straight. "
Join us as Julie and Sarah talk with Sharon Martin, a therapist from California. Sarah, Julie, and Sharon discuss codependency, self-control, boundaries, healthy relationships and more! This is definitely a packed episode and Sharon was a treat. Definitely check out Sharon's blogs and handouts on a variety of mental health topics to support your healing journey. You can check her out at livewellwithsharonmartin.com.
This week Julie and Samuel field a listener question about varying degrees of emotional maturity. How can you support someone so they can grow? How can you avoid dependency? How can you monitor your own emotional stability and growth? We talk in depth about all of these questions and more.
Episode 50 is coming out soon! Reach out and let us know how you want us to celebrate. Thanks for walking with us!
Hey neighbors! Samuel here. My voice is shot, but I'm glad I get a chance to send you this message anyway. "The crew is back in-person!" We finally met in JHR Headquarters: Worthington, Ohio. You can feel the energy in the room. I am so excited for y'all to hear our newest episode. We talk about the buzzword "Codependency" and what it means to have an unhealthy, boundariless relationship. We also dive into healthy relationship practices and what healthy boundaries look like. I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I do!
This week Julie and Sarah continue to speak with podcaster and trauma therapist, La Shanda Sugg. They discuss trauma, its effects, and how systemic problems can create trauma. They expand on ideas like "Disabilities" or the DSM5. La Shanda is a fellow Pia Mellody scholar, so Julie and La Shanda discuss her work as well. This is a two-part episode, combined into a single episode.
This week we discuss the hard topic of difficult conversations. With COVID 19 and the Black Lives Matter movement, it's imperative that we learn how to talk with each other. Samuel shares his experience with Communication Theory, which compliments Julie's mental health studies. We tackle felt safety, as well as some strategies for calming down. I hope you enjoy this week!
In part one of two, we sit down with two mental health activists who discuss the recent protests over the murder of George Floyd. What is the best way to keep a healthy mindset? How can mental health practices reduce burnout? How can children practice good mental health?
All of these questions and more on this episode!
We are so excited to release our second episode with Kristen Huyett, our neurodivergent expert. We dive into a number of different topics including stimuli regulation, motivation, meditation, and Coronavirus survival.

This week we sit down (remotely) with Dr. Jamie Marich. We talk about trauma, words, coronavirus, and her upcoming book "Trauma and the 12 Steps." The episode runs a little long, but we cover a lot of great information. Feel free to take the episode in pieces. Jamie has been a big influence, so we were so excited to have her!
Part 2 of our COVID-19 discussion as we check in about what has been the hardest part for us personally, what has been helpful, and what we are learning through the quarantine. We process the exhaustion and stress, how to care for ourselves in the midst of it all and find post-traumatic growth through resiliency in the long haul. Our gratitude and relational connections help keep us strong in knowing that we are not alone. Join us for words of wisdom from Bruce Perry, Maya Angelou, Stephen Porges, and the Polyvagal Theory as we learn how to navigate through trauma.
We are so excited to be back! We fired up the ol' laptops and recorded from home. This week is a lot to process, so don't hesitate to take a break during the episode to take a deep breath, drink a glass of water, or to take a walk outside. I hope in this time of uncertainty that our episode is helpful in describing some of the emotions we go through during crises like this.
This week we cover anxiety in adults when we feel outside our window of tolerance and hyperaroused. We talk about what anxiety can do for us, how to pay attention to our feelings to know what we need, and what it looks like to regulate the excess energy. We also welcome Sarah Wakefield to our Community Routes Team!
Join us in our discussion with Sarah Wakefield as we unpack perfectionism, a desire to control, and how to find moderation. We consider the powerful aspects of humanity as we welcome vulnerability and authenticity that helps connect us to others.
