Mental Health Movement- Voice For the Voiceless

You can find Dr. Kyle at:IG @: the40over40 40over40.comdrkylehulsebus.comYT: DrKyleHulseBus In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kyle Hulsebus — chiropractor, speaker, author, and human‑potential educator — for a grounded and eye‑opening conversation about men’s mental health, identity, and the deeper intentions behind his life’s work.Kyle opens up about who he was before becoming a doctor and educator, reflecting on the experiences that shaped him long before he ever stepped into a clinic or onto a stage. As a third‑generation chiropractor, he also shares the quiet pressures and expectations that influenced his philosophy on mental health and wellbeing, and how those early challenges helped him understand the emotional landscape men often navigate in silence.We explore the importance of the patient‑doctor relationship, the human connection we all need, and why meaningful interactions are essential not just for healing — but for living. Kyle also talks about the intention behind his work, what he hopes people come to understand about themselves, and why self‑awareness is the foundation for any real transformation.In closing, Kyle offers the first step he believes people should take before seeking help — a simple but powerful shift that can change the entire healing journey.This is a thoughtful, honest, and deeply human conversation about purpose, connection, and the inner work that allows us to grow. Tune in for an episode that will challenge your perspective and leave you reflecting long after it ends.

If you wish to give feedback to this conversation:https://speakerhub.com/cta/XL2BQcIf you wish to contact JD you can to the below:https://hunger4more.com/IG @ HungryWarrioracademy In today’s episode, I sit down with JD Tremblay — military veteran, author of Hunger for More in Life, faith‑driven mentor, ultra‑endurance athlete, and one of only three people on the planet to complete the EpicDeca. JD’s story is one of grit, transformation, and an unshakeable commitment to becoming more than his circumstances.We dive into JD’s early life, including the impact of his parents’ divorce at age 14 and his decision to join the military at just 17. He opens up about the lessons the military taught him — the real difference between weakness and vulnerability, the internal battles many men face, and the dangers of numbing mental health struggles with substances.Together, we explore the role of 12‑step programs, and I share my perspective on why celebrating sobriety milestones can sometimes create pressure that leads to relapse. JD speaks powerfully about the importance of having a belief system, the stigma surrounding men’s mental health, and the lack of resources that inspired him to create the Hungry Warrior Academy.This is a raw, honest, and deeply human conversation about resilience, identity, and what it truly means to fight for your own life. Tune in for an episode that challenges, inspires, and stays with you long after it ends.

Esin opens up about what led her to create Eternal Wellness Counseling, why working with struggling addicts changed her understanding of recovery, and what people truly need beyond structured programs.We talk about emotional balance, the link between feelings and affirmations, inner‑child healing, and the kind of self‑work most of us avoid but desperately need. It’s vulnerable, it’s honest, and it’s one of those conversations that stays with you long after it ends.If you’re ready for something real, press play.

In this raw and powerful conversation, U.S. Army Veteran, writer, and motivational speaker Devin Fish shares how he transformed a childhood of instability, poverty, and trauma into a life of purpose. He opens up about battling self‑hatred and addiction before the Army, and how a single question — “Do I want to die?” — became the turning point that changed everything.While deployed in Kuwait, he began writing the book that forced him to confront his deepest wounds. With more than seventy introspective prompts, his work challenges others to do the same. We talk about the prompt that impacted him most, the role military structure played in his healing, and the pressure to “be strong” that often kept him silent.He speaks candidly about breaking generational cycles, embracing vulnerability, and redefining strength as both a man and a soldier. Whether you’re facing your own hard questions or searching for a path forward, this episode offers clarity, courage, and hope.A testament to resilience and the power of choosing to live.You Can find Devin @:IG: Devin_5054 FB: Devin FishFind his book on all platforms, Amazon/Goodreads"Answering the Hard Questions: Let It Be the End of a Chapter, Not the End of the Book."

Justin Goodman, Co‑Founder of the nonprofit Project 55 and co‑host of The Project 55 Podcast, brings honesty, curiosity, and lived experience to a show dedicated to transforming how we respond to mental health crises. Born from a gap Justin saw firsthand—where everyday people wanted to help but didn’t know how—Project 55 exists to equip communities with practical mental health first‑response skills. And the podcast is where those conversations come alive.Justin dives into the realities of crisis support, the surprising reactions from workplaces and communities after training, and what it would take for mental health education to become as common as CPR. Along the way, he sits with guests whose stories shift perspectives, spark new ideas, and energize the mission.Justin also brings his own journey into the conversation. Living with bipolar disorder and chronic pain, he reflects on the turning point that led him to speak openly, how sharing his story has reshaped his understanding of it, and the people who have supported him along the way. He talks candidly about balancing public advocacy with protecting his own mental health, and what he wishes more people understood about living with a mental health condition.At its core, The Project 55 Podcast is about building a world where no one faces a mental health crisis alone. Justin’s hope for the next five years—and beyond—is simple but bold: a society that responds to mental health with skill, compassion, and humanity.You can find Justin at https://project55.org/Podcast at:https://open.spotify.com/show/5gfbN9KNh0COUlIJcD2SYb?si=e399fe094d5e4c75
