S2 EP22 | How a Health 31-Year-Old Woman Survived her Almost Fatal Heart Attack | Kisha Stewart

I had a friend who told me she had a heart attack because she sneezed. This friend was in her 60's. When Kisha told me that she had a heart attack at 31, I couldn't believe it. She was healthy, athletic, and in the prime of her life. Both heart attacks were due to SCAD, which some doctors have never heard of. Both people had a tear in the lining of their arteries. Both could have been fatal. This is not something that can necessarily be detected, but the signs can alert you to get help. Please listen to this interview and read Kisha's book so that you can educate yourself, your loved ones, and your physicians. Kisha's story is incredible. Not only did she survive her heart attack, but she went back to get her nursing degree. She through herself into her career and then had another wake up call. Her book talks about her experience, her emotional healthy, her marriage, and how she and her family lived through two natural disasters. I want to thank Kisha, her husband, Mike, and her children for being people who, instead of being victims, took their power and lives back and are contributing to society and being amazing examples for all of us. Wakisha (Kisha) Stewart is a wife, mother of three, nurse, heart attack survivor, and a national advocate for heart health dedicated to improving the quality of cardiovascular health care for everyone. Since her heart attack in 2011 at age 31, she has conducted extensive research about the specific health risks that women, particularly Black women, face. A dynamic, nationally recognized speaker on ways to improve heart health through lifestyle changes and a fierce advocate for systemic changes in the health care system to guarantee equity and social justice for all, Kisha, a nurse with a unique perspective and survivor on a mission, was a national spokeswoman chosen in 2022 by the American Heart Association (AHA) to educate the public about the risks of cardiovascular disease.

S2 EP42 | "Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover" Dan Henk

"Dan has had quite the life. Growing up all over the world, Dan took refuge in books. His parents encouraged his art, but since he couldn't decide between writing and illustrating, he ended up doing both. Dan's messages to people are ""Never Give Up"" and ""Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover."" And he should know. He has been through numerous car accidents, brain cancer, and the death of his wife by a hit and run driver. He has supported himself as a tattoo artist. Dan is promoting his books which he is the illustrator and writer for. He also has guest writers which makes his books even more exciting. Thank you, Dan, for your inspiration, courage, and heart. Bio: Dan’s early career included a year and a half stint drawing political cartoons for Madcap Magazine and illustrating underground projects such as Maximum Rock and Roll. In 1997, after struggling through a violent car crash and a knife fight with a crackhead that severed the tendon on his left thumb, he attended art school. Receiving some commercial and local gallery acclaim for his artwork, he moved to New York City in an attempt to kick start an art career. Heavily immersing himself in the local hardcore scene, he produced artwork for the bands Shai Hulud, Indecision, Koshari, More Complete, Unsound, Coalesce, Most Precious Blood, Locked in a Vacancy, Beyond Reason, Zombie Apocalypse, not to mention various local record labels and venues. In 2000, he started tattooing, initially working on many musician friends. A year later, in September 2001, he was stricken with brain cancer and underwent surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. Three months after the surgery, he married fellow tattoo artist Monica Castillo. His work started appearing in both a growing number of tattoo magazines and more fine art influenced tomes. Tattoo related books such as No Regrets, Tattoo Prodigies, and Inside the Tattoo Circus took notice and included features. Tragedy struck again in 2007, as his wife of 6 years, Monica Henk, was killed on a motorcycle by a hit and run driver. Despite extensive coverage in the local media and vigorous campaigns by both the tattoo and motorcycle community, the culprit was never found. He moved to Austin, Texas for three years, and started doing a regular comic strip entitled “Rollo & Me” for Tattoo Artist Magazine. Illustrations for Black Static, Litro Magazine, The Horror Zine, and This is Horror followed suit. His first novel, The Black Seas of Infinity, was published by Anarchy Books in 2011, and he started an illustrated calendar featuring a variety of artists. Deadite Press released the first book with a cover by Dan, a novel entitled “The Sopaths” by Piers Anthony. A limited edition chapbook “Christmas Is Cancelled” came out courtesy of Splatterpunk in 2013, and in 2014 he started columns for TAM, Tattoo Revue and Skin Art magazines. A reissue of his debut novel was released by Permuted Press in April 2015, as well as a collection of his short stories entitled “Down Highways In The Dark…By Demons Driven” in August of the same year. He continued his work for independent magazines, doing art for Red Door Magazine, a slew of books by the imprint Out Of Step, and every issue so far of the British horror zine Splatterpunk. The books “Not Dead”, “Fighting Back”, “Past Indiscretions”, “Insatiable”, “Bloodstains, “Tales for Dark Hours”, “The Red Death” and “The Flood” all featured his work and his third book, “The End of the World” debuted in March of this year. His illustrated anthology entitled “The Never Dead” featuring 14 authors and 16 stories was just released across all platforms. The upcoming anthology Head Blown Off II will feature one of his stories. You can keep up with all his latest work on his website danhenk.com. Be sure to check out his podcast “Skull Sessions with Dan Henk”. New episodes debut every Thursday across all platforms!

S2 E7 | Using Breath And Voice To Create Moments of Magic and Bliss with Brigitte Deneck

#getreal #getfree #inspiration
Brigitte Deneck was born in Northern France. She learned not to feel, talk or trust in her childhood home with her alcoholic father. She didn't see the impact of this until later in life. Brigitte studied in Paris during a time of upheaval on college campuses. One day, while in the university library, she watched local police beating college students outside her third story window.
This riot was the beginning of a historical shift and cultural transformation that occurred during the 1960's. Brigitte left her educational path to pursue her childhood passion of performance games. As the creativity of society blossomed, Brigitte participated in the US, France and then Poland, reveling in the new realms of theater being created. She loved when the audience and actors participated together, spontaneously bursting into song. This type of theater provided experiential learning, creating a transformation at the group level.
Brigitte's training in using her body led her to voice coaching. Seeing that her childhood trauma froze her ability to feel, talk or trust, she started learning to be free to be in her body and to be herself. She experienced a magic and bliss and wanted to share this with others. She trained to be a voice coach and has made a huge contribution to others for the last 20 years.
Her goal is to have people be empowered through authenticity of breath and voice AND authenticity of listening. Her commitment is to bring this work to as many people as possible, so they will be more aware of their power, be more authentic and not pretend in their bodies.
Brigitte can be found at BeYourVoice.co.uk. You can email her at BDeneck@beyourvoice.co.uk. She is offering a Free Taster (complimentary session) for people who email her as a result of seeing this show.
Bio:
As Brigitte grew up in northern France, she developed a passion for studies which led her to postgraduate studies in Politics in Paris, with a dream to become a journalist. What awaited her there in 1968 was actually a shift and a radical questioning of society and culture.
She wanted to let people know what was happening. But rather than journalism or politics which disappointed her, she chose to develop a path of personal development which she called Acting Dynamics.
She was also recovering from principles learned in childhood such as “Don’t Talk Don’t Trust Don’t Feel”, in group therapies. Then she discovered a physical discipline combining breath and voice which led to grounding, power, and direction. The authenticity of breath and voice is what she is now engaged in with an international team of colleagues and trainees.

S2 E6 | Mary Allen's Mother's Mental Health Illness Was So Bad Mary Put Herself in Foster Care

#getreal #getfree #inspiration
Choosing foster care over living at home with her mother shaped Mary's life in a significant way. When her fiancé committed suicide in her 30's, Mary's life was shaken up radically again. But Mary did not let her fear or traumas stop her from living life.
When Mary discovered her calling to be a writer, she boldly declared: "I will be a writer and nothing will stop me." This was the beginning of everything good in her life.
Mary was proud to be accepted into the Iowa Writer's Workshop. In Iowa, she developed herself as a memoir writer. She used writing to make sense of her childhood and her fiance's death. She explored life after death, talking to the deceased, and even spent 7 exciting days in the psych ward. Mary has continued to heal through writing and many other healing modalities.
She makes a living as a writer and writing coach which is truly inspirational. Her writing took her on a spiritual and psychological healing journey which helped her overcome her grief and childhood fear.
Mary's experience with her mentally ill mother gives her a deep sensitivity to others. She is a professional writer and writing coach who has helped hundreds of other people become writers as well.
Join us in a spirited and fascinating conversation about Mary's life, her challenges, her tragedies, and her healing. Mary is happily writing and living in Iowa.
Mary can be found at maryallenwriter.com. Her books mentioned below are available on Amazon. She is currently writing her third book which will be released in the next year.
BIO:
Mary Allen is the author of The Deep Limitless Air: A Memoir in Pieces, published in May 2022 by Blue Light Press. Her literary memoir, The Rooms of Heaven, was published by Alfred A. Knopf and Vintage Books.
She is the recipient of a National Endowment for the Arts creative writing fellowship and has published short work on the Psychology Today website and in Poets and Writers, Tiferet, Real Simple, Library Journal, The Chaos, CNN Online, and in the anthology If I Don’t Make It, I Love You: Survivors in the Aftermath of School Shootings.
She has an MFA from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop and has taught in the University of Iowa’s nonfiction writing MFA program and the Iowa Summer Writing Festival at the University of Iowa. She currently makes a living as a writing coach and lives in Iowa City, Iowa.
Mary Allen’s themes are spiritual and psychological healing, love, the nature of life and death, and the ways our states of consciousness intersect with our experience of reality. Her writing — and the broad range of writing topics — reflect her belief that the personal and the practical, the painful and the numinous, the spiritual and the ordinary are all blended together in our lives and cannot be separated from one another without at least part of the truth being lost.
