Community Routes
This is a podcast filled with therapists, psychologists, authors, and regular people where we talk about mental and emotional health. We take complex topics and break them down, often over snacks and coffee. Our goal is to provide free, digestible mental health discussions to help build a more healthy, supportive community. Join Samuel, Sarah, and Julie every other week on Tuesdays (or whenever you feel like listening)! Our segments: “Off the Beaten Path” is a special episode that features interviews with the community. ”Unpack That” involves discussing books and concepts about mental health. ”Trail Mix” takes a variety of concepts that are asked to the cohosts and discussed as a group. ”Deep Breath” is a shorter, brief mental message for the week.

This week we discuss the hard topic of difficult conversations. With COVID 19 and the Black Lives Matter movement, it's imperative that we learn how to talk with each other. Samuel shares his experience with Communication Theory, which compliments Julie's mental health studies. We tackle felt safety, as well as some strategies for calming down. I hope you enjoy this week!

This week we continue our talks with activists Shynesha and Andie. We dive deeper into the goals of the protestors and also start a discussion on a healthy future. We tackle some pretty deep topics, so buckle up!
Thank you to Shynesha and Andie for being on the show!
P.S. The audio quality is a little off because of Zoom. I have figured out a solution, so it won't be a problem after this series of Off the Beaten Path. Enjoy!

Hey everyone! I wanted you to listen to Kristen's episode so you would be prepared for this week's discussion, which will release within the hour. Both episodes are great listens and packed with information about neurodivergent peoples. Enjoy!
The long-anticipated episode with Special Guest Kristen Huyett... Special guest Kristen Huyett flew in from Oregon to join us on Off the Beaten Path today to talk about ADHD. So much great insight in understanding circular thinking, a difference (not a deficit!) in attention, reducing stigma and increasing support!! Parents of adolescents, spouses married to someone with ADHD, you'll want to check this out!

Part 2 of our COVID-19 discussion as we check in about what has been the hardest part for us personally, what has been helpful, and what we are learning through the quarantine. We process the exhaustion and stress, how to care for ourselves in the midst of it all and find post-traumatic growth through resiliency in the long haul. Our gratitude and relational connections help keep us strong in knowing that we are not alone. Join us for words of wisdom from Bruce Perry, Maya Angelou, Stephen Porges, and the Polyvagal Theory as we learn how to navigate through trauma.
Questions to ask: What has been the hardest part? The most helpful? What are you learning?
