So we had an event in Los Angeles and during the question/answer audience participation segment, whom I’ve come to know as Sandra Kushnir, LMFT spoke out and told us about her idea for addressing stigma and it’s called U-NIFY LOS ANGELES, which offers AFFORDABLE workshops led by wellness experts, therapists, coaches, and spiritual leaders. The foundation of this idea seems to be about connection, which is very much a part of our message and a lot of people’s message these days. A big goal of Unify LA is get people to regard mental health like we do physical health.  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/getonthebus/message

We met Pablo at an RV resort and soon after that meeting I knew I wanted to hear his story. Among other things he was in Desert Storm and a firefighter during 911. His honest account of his life's journey was inspiring and a cautionary tale as to what the toll can be for a person who's always first in to dangerous and potentially traumatic experiences. Thank you, Pablo! We see you and we honor your journey. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/getonthebus/message
