The Broken Brain

I am a huge fan of The Because Organization, and all of their hard work helping survivors of Human Trafficking to build successful, healthy, and happy lives after escaping severe exploitation and abuse. Every year they join the podcast to talk about their good work AND the ways you can help. Marcia Holt and Mary Beth Ford join me today to talk about individualized help for survivors, how Because does their work, and the annual virtual walk/run to raise funds. 
Join the cause by walking or running this month! Register at www.becauseorganization.org

Meg Boberg is a friend, mental health advocate, and a fellow Bipolar-haver. It's been a while since she's been on the show, but we often kick around ideas for recordings. Speaking of ideas, we're talk about our experiences with racing thoughts, hypomania, and mood irregularity.

Jamie Alyson Feldman & Rachel Webster noticed that it was difficult to talk about debt...even with a best friend.This led them to create "Debt Heads: A Podcast About Money," taking a true crime approach to answer the mystery: who murdered our bank account? 
A lively and fun team, they join me today to discuss societal and psychological elements of dealing with finances, stress, and (of course) Debt Itself. Follow their work at www.debtheadspodcast.com and listen wherever you get your podcasts.
