NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) plays a vital role in how our bodies create energy, repair damaged cells, regulate metabolism, and support healthy aging.

You’ll learn what NAD+ is, why it decreases over time, and how low levels may impact energy production, mitochondrial function, brain health, inflammation, and overall wellness.

🚪 The Invisible Door in the EtherA young boy, whose name might have been Leo, or perhaps Finn, but for now we shall call him simply The Boy, found himself walking in a place that defied description. It was not a physical land, but a shimmering, boundless expanse known only as the Ether. The ground beneath his feet was a gentle, humming light, and the air tasted of pure potential. He had been wandering for a long time, seeking... something.Then, ahead of him, he saw it.It wasn't a wall of stone or wood, but a sheer, impenetrable sheet of polished obsidian that materialized from the light of the Ether. And set within this flawless darkness was a single, simple, wooden door—the only thing in this infinite space that felt finite and real.He walked right up to the wall, and through the glass of the door's small, upper pane, he saw it: Everything he had ever wanted in his life.It wasn't a mountain of gold or a palace of jewels. It was a sunlit garden, overflowing with the scent of jasmine and earth. A warm, loving family was laughing at a picnic table. He saw himself, older, with kind eyes and strong hands, engaged in work that brought him deep, abiding joy. He saw peace. He saw acceptance. It was the complete, perfect realization of his deepest self.His heart swelled with a longing so intense it nearly buckled him. He reached for the handle.Clang.The door was locked.A figure stepped out from the darkness beside the door. It was the Greeter, a being of soft, neutral light, neither male nor female, old nor young. Its voice was like the gentle ringing of a distant bell."Welcome," the Greeter said, with serene patience. "This is the entrance to the Self. Before you may enter, I require the Password."The Boy's face fell. He searched his pockets, his mind, his soul. "I... I don't know the password," he confessed, his voice small against the vastness of the Ether. "I only just found the door."The Greeter nodded, its light flickering slightly with understanding. "Few know it right away. But you are close. You must return to the place of your beginning, to the one who guided you here, the one who knows your foundation better than you do.""My sponsor?" The Boy asked."The one you trust," the Greeter confirmed. "Go to your Sponsor. They will tell you the Password. Return to the door when you know it."The Boy turned and walked back through the humming light of the Ether, the vision of the sunlit garden burning in his memory. He found his way back to the quiet, familiar place where his journey began and sought out his Sponsor—the wise, steady presence who had helped him take his first steps on this path."I found the Door," The Boy whispered, breathless. "And I saw everything I want. But the Greeter asked for the Password, and I don't know it."The Sponsor looked at The Boy, their eyes filled with profound love and pity for the struggle that was about to end. They reached out a hand and placed it on The Boy's shoulder, steadying him."The Door to the Self," the Sponsor spoke softly, "does not open for a claim of strength, or power, or brilliance. It opens when you surrender the need to be something to the world. It is the key of humility and acceptance."The Sponsor leaned in and imparted the final, necessary truth."The Password," they whispered, "is: I am nothing, I am no one."The Boy stood tall, looked the Greeter in its luminous eyes, and spoke the password, not as a confession of failure, but as a statement of profound, liberated truth."The Password is," he declared, his voice ringing clearly, "I am nothing, I am no one."The Greeter smiled—"Come on in," the Greeter responded, its bell-like voice now filled with warmth. "The door is unlocked."With a soft click, the simple wooden door swung open on silent hinges, revealing not just the vision, but the reality of the sunlit garden, waiting for The Boy to finally step inside his own life.More stories like this one at: https://breakingthecycletherapy.com/

While working with Survivors of Blue Suicide Ann wrote children’s books addressing a school shooting, and the suicide of a parent or grandparent. Although she continues to attend National Police Week with COPS, Ann is now retired and is enjoying traveling with her husband Mark and connecting with their numerous grandchildren in all their different stages of activity & life. As a believer in service to others she stays busy volunteering at Central Storehouse (a local food pantry), connecting with numerous international college students through ISI (International Students, Inc.) and connecting with her church family at Central Bible Church.-------------------------------------------------------------------In preparation for National Police Week, Ann Ashmead @annierie2 LCSW-retired, took the time to join us on the show and share valuable education on suicide, blue suicide and supporting families of officers who have been impacted by the suicide of a loved one.We are reminded tonight to never be afraid to use the word suicide and to treat everyone in our lives with compassion.#breakingthecycleradio #breakingthecycle #MentalHealth #awareness #thinbluelinestrong #firstresponders #socialwork #therapy #community #policeofficers #bluesuicide #suicideawarenss #supportingfamilies #nationalpoliceweek #nationalpoliceweek2025

We were honored to welcome our special guest on Breaking The Cycle this Friday Night, May 2nd 2025: Mary H. Quattlebaum M.A., LPC, EMDR trained with Heartwood Counseling and Wellness.Mary's Bio:In addition to my professional identity, I'm also a wife and a mom to three wonderful (albeit maddeningly energetic) boys. We do sports, we do rough-housing, and we do LOUD very well. We have also spent the last nine years blending an amazing family. Divorce recovery and blended family issues are something that I specialize in and have experienced personally. When we start talking about these hard topics in counseling, know that I've been there, done that, still have the t-shirt, and am here to hold space for you to discuss how these things personally impact your life. As a neurodivergent therapist with personal and professional experience, our practice is informed not only by specialized training but also by lived experience within a neurodivergent family. This perspective allows me to offer compassionate, relatable, and effective support tailored to individuals and families navigating autism, ADHD, and other neurodivergent identities.Before becoming a therapist, I was an educator for many years, working with students aged 4-11. During graduate school I transitioned into child advocacy work and began pursuing clinical licensure. Working with children and families in crisis showed me just how important mental health care is and taught me that healthy relationships and families are crucial to our society! Helping individuals find freedom from anxiety and build strong connections is my passion! --------------------------------------------------------------Tonight was a privilege to sit down with @mqbaum27912 from @heartwoodcounseling and discuss resources for treating Autism.@mqbaum27912 shared so much helpful information about the autism spectrum.#breakingthecycle #breakingthecycleradio #emdr #neurodivergent #mentalhealth #findingpeace #autism #resources #therapy #support
