John Hazelwood on the Black man & the allowing of vulnerability and healing

Thu, 31 Aug 2023 05:00:11 +0000

This episode is an excellent one discussing mental health, ADHD, community, and the Black man.

John Hazelwood is an early 30's African American male mental health advocate in the fields of ADHD and Black Men's healing awareness. John was diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 21 due to emotional regulation and productivity issues experienced throughout his college career. Though his degree and career are in the Mechanical Engineering field, he has found an unwavering passion for mental health awareness within recent years, especially as a minority, as he embarked on a journey to understand his own mental health. John and Marc Almodovar are founders of the Men's ADHD Facebook Support Group with over 10k members. He is the co-host of the Men's ADHD Support Group podcast where he discusses disparities in the mental health community while also documenting a daily journey with ADHD. John utilizes YT, twitter, FB, and IG to create mental health inspired content and is affiliated with mental health resource groups such as Black Men Heal and Therapy for Black Men. His content has been featured throughout numerous mental health accounts including recognition from high-profile influencers for work in the field.

John's goal is to inspire, empower, and motivate men, especially those of color. He proves that safe space does exist and mental health is important by being a much-needed Black male representative in the ADHD community. Through vulnerability, transparency, honesty, and resilience, John hopes to bridge the gap in understanding neurodiversity while sharing from a place of authenticity personal experiences, educating, and networking with other likeminded individuals. Moving forward, he wishes to expand his presence to TV, streaming throughout networks instead of only social media!

"Change begins with us acknowledging and being accountable for how we show up, pledging to dedicate the bandwidth it takes to make a difference in our community and our own lives."

What is Rationalization?

Tue, 10 May 2022 10:00:00 +0000

In this episode, I will discuss how self-sabotage can be a way to avoid feelings of fear or insecurity. I will offer advice on how to overcome rationalization, which is a knee-jerk response to avoid these feelings. I will also share how we have three voices inside of us and that our head usually just gives logical reasons for things on either side, but our heart is usually the one keeping us where we are. If we want to work on overcoming self sabotage, we need to set boundaries and figure out who we want to become and then build processes in place to help us get there.

[00:04 - 01:51] Opening Segment

Rationalizing wrong decisions
Attempting to justify inappropriate behaviors

[03:29 - 05:48] Rationalization

Slow down and question your decisions

Rationalization is avoiding “better” by naming it “hard”

Overcome self-sabotage and achieve your goals
Final words

Quotes:

"You have to keep running to outrun the beasts, but you're also trying to figure out what will happen once you get to the cliff. As you get closer, you see that there are pillars set up to allow you to cross the Canyon. You're deathly scared of heights, and the idea of having to jump from pillar to pillar is something you can't fathom doing. What other options do you have?" - Sarah Hipps

"At some point you have to become more stricter with yourself. Set boundaries, figure out who you want to become and then put processes in place to build towards it." - Sarah Hipps

Exploring the Need to Defend

Our society could sometimes be oversimplified and narrow-minded when it comes to certain traditions. We are taught that hitting your child is always because of their love, no matter what. But this isn't always ideal or necessary.

In today's episode, I'll be sharing the impact of culture on how we communicate. Negative ideas, and how not questioning them can lead to problems down the line.

There's a reason why we're defending something and it doesn't always have to do with our comfort level. It's important to ask ourselves why we're doing this and if there's a better answer than just "It's fine for me." There are valid reasons for why we do such things, but the real question is, isn't there another way that won't result in physical and psychological consequences?

[00:04 - 07:05] Opening Segment

Defending things in our lives that don't need defending
Physical discipline in children
Hazing: does the benefits outweigh the consequences?

[07:06 - 19:06] Weighing the Benefits vs. the Risks

Hazing as a way to build bonds, but could be humiliating and dangerous
Hitting as a sign of love amongst parents
What is worth defending?
How narrow-mindedness prevents us from being better

[19:07 - 28:11] Rational and Emotional

Rational self - knows what is best for the situation
Emotional self - defends what is perceived as necessary
The importance of being honest with yourself
Recognizing being defensive

Quotes:

"When we defend things, our thoughts, our beliefs, our ideals, our actions should legitimately be questioned. And if we don't have real answers for them, then you're just defending something that you just don't have to." - Sarah Hipps

"There are plenty of things that I have lived through that I don't think anybody should have to live through. And our narrow sidedness of not recognizing if there are different paths to the same thing, even if it makes us uncomfortable, it needs to be explored." - Sarah Hipps

Ned Schaut: Fatherhood & Showing Up

Fri, 01 Apr 2022 10:00:00 +0000

Welcome to another episode of the Show Up with Sarah Podcast!

Ned W. Schaut has a mission to redefine fatherhood. He is a husband to one beauty, a father to five fun kiddos, and a friend to many. He is an Author, Podcast Host, and small business owner. He lives in Kona, Hawaii and can be found outside exploring new things with his family. Ned has found his greatest opportunity to leave a mark on this earth by embracing his role and opportunity as a father. He wants to help other fathers make that same discovery to enjoy their adventure of fatherhood and be proud of the legacy they will leave future generations. He believes every father who embraces their role intentionally will change the world for generations to come.

In 2019 he wrote a book called Rebel & Create: A Compass for the Craft of Fatherhood. Following the release of his book he launched the Fatherhood Field Notes podcast. In this podcast he uncovers real, authentic, and messy stories from everyday life creating an opportunity for men on the adventure of fatherhood to learn from each other's wins and losses. From the momentum of his book he created the Fatherhood Legacy Journal which is a daily journal to engage fathers. This project was successfully funded through a Kickstarter Campaign, the journals were printed and shipped for January 2020. He embraces this global mantra daily: Rebel against the view that our actions as fathers have little impact, together we will Create lives engaged in mastering the craft of fatherhood…this will Redefine Fatherhood.

Tweetable Quotes:

“I have a great dad. He was always there for me.” - Ned W. Schaut

“I’ve always been a good dad, but in 2015 when this 36,000 sq. ft. building just fell apart, my identity was taken away. With that and through a lot of self reflection and lots of long walks on the beach, I realized that those desires that I have as a man, I want to be respected, valued, needed, loved, and know that I’m leaving a mark on this Earth.” - Ned W. Schaut

“The mom needs to give the dad some space to try to take advice and not do it her way every time. Let it happen and let them figure it out.” - Ned W. Schaut

Today, we'll listen to a coach's honest and vulnerable approach to enlighten and encourage coaches who might have been discouraged by life's blows. Here's a bit about Jordan:

Jordan Pendleton is passionate about helping purpose-driven Financial Advisors create authentic, sustainable, soul-fulfilling success! Through her podcast, online courses, and coaching programs, Jordan guides others to uncover their authentic message and tell their story to attract their people and make the income AND impact they truly desire. Her passion and drive stem from her own pain of working around the clock to build a successful financial planning business in her 20s - only to find herself feeling empty and that her success was only surface level. Jordan knew there was more to life and more to business than she was experiencing.

Tweetable Quotes:

“Financial advising is a lifelong career if you’re gonna build and be serious about it.” - Jordan Pendleton

“For me, credit cards became a thing I used to keep up, even with coaching, hiring people even if I can’t afford it. In order to be good enough, I have to do X, Y, and Z and that’s a lot of my internal story. I have to strive to be good and if I’m not, I will be perceived as a failure.” - Jordan Pendleton

“I think I always have to remind myself that I’m comparing my inner world to their outer world. You can’t compare what you’re going through to their instagram profile and whatever they are posting.” - Jordan Pendleton

Life and my experience with depression
The impact of the events that I lived
Mental health
My relationships
My relationship with God
I don’t believe in hell
I’m proud of myself

“The best way to fail kill yourself”
How paralyzing anxiety and paranoia can be
Instinct
Resist and fight
Could be exhausting and hard
In the process, you could lose and win friends

Building Connections Through Storytelling with Jose Lugo

Fri, 26 Nov 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Welcome to another episode of Show Up with Sarah! Today we will be chatting with Jose Lugo who is now 34 years old. He would join an L.A. street gang when he was 16, and would be convicted and sentenced to 5 years in prison at the age of 18. When he was paroled from prison, he vowed to himself that he would never go back and dreamed of one day telling the stories of his peers

In this episode, Jose shares with us how he would go through life never fully understanding the value in his own story. At the age of 31 he would return to jail for a D.U.I, and after his 3-day incarceration, he had lost all hope. He took inventory of his life and saw himself only as a criminal with no value. On the brink of taking his own life, he cried out to God and was able to remember a simple truth that he had believed as a child - that he as a person had inherent value and that his story had meaning. It was at that moment that he was able to find the value in his story once again.

Jose is the founder and lead creative of We Are All One Story. He currently travels the country listening to and sharing peoples stories. He also just finished his memoir, Love, Faith and Violence: A True Song and Story.

Surviving vs. Thriving

Fri, 19 Nov 2021 11:00:00 +0000

Welcome to another episode of the Show Up with Sarah Podcast! Today is going to be a solo episode because I feel compelled to discuss with you guys the idea of surviving vs. thriving. I decided that I wanted to discuss this because it's something that I noticed so much with not just my clients, but with everybody, myself included. And when I talk to people about surviving, usually the people who come to work with me, is because they have set in a survival technique or tactic that is now hindering themselves. Which now needs to be shifted from survival to thriving.

In this episode we will be talking about the difference between surviving and thriving, and how to switch from the former to the latter. Make sure to tune until the end, because I will be sharing a lot more personal stores that I’m sure you can learn something from. Let’s dive in!

[00:01 - 5:27| Opening Segment

Welcome to the episode!
I introduce our topic for the episode
I share about how I love to talk about other people
I talk about using myself as an example for most of my stories

[05:28 - 15:12| Let’s talk about Survival

What is survival
How it looked like for me
Matured a little earlier
Adopting a nurturing personality
Sharing my learnings about my experience
Being on survival mode

[15:13 - 28:43] How Thriving Looks Like

Having firm boundaries
Saying “no” a lot more
Saying “i cannot” and “i will not”
How to switch from surviving to thriving
Our brain has done years of work to keep us on survival mode
Being aware of how others are treating you
Being grateful of yourself instead of being ashamed

[28:44 - 33:44| Closing Segment
