All The Wiser

Kimi and Christy talk about Yusuf Dahl's radical transformation from prison inmate to Ivy League scholar. They discuss what attributed to Yususf's ability to adapt and ultimately thrive - a clear internal vision, a sense of purpose, patience and the knowledge that he was loved.As a public defender in juvenile dependency court, Christy shared an emotional story about representing a father who also underwent a radical life transformation. A dad who overcame decades of addiction to keep custody of the daughter he adored. Whether it's big or small, Yusuf's stories, and almost all of the stories on this podcast, are a testament to our innate ability to change our lives and shed the parts of ourselves that no longer serve us.Follow the show at @allthewiserpodcast on Instagram.Keep the conversation going!

Kimi and Erica discuss last week's episode with death doula Diane Button, which they can't stop thinking about! Both confess to having an endless fascination (ok, borderline obsession) with the wisdom and knowledge that people share when they know the end is near.Diane's message is more about living well than dying well. Her dying clients are called "the wisdom keepers" and she shares their greatest joys and regrets. Simple moments bring joy – the quiet of the morning, conversations at the kitchen table, dog snuggles. The most precious moments in our lives will be found (and remembered) in the simplest of things.  Slow down or "pause" as she says to breathe in this one life you've got. What you do every day, how you behave, and how you interact with others will ultimately define how you are remembered. Treating everyone with kindness and respect is a sure path to being remembered and honored for all the good you created during your time on earth. Your challenge: Think about how you want to be remembered and take one small action aligned with that?Tell someone you care deeply about what they mean to you and how you will remember them.Follow the show at @allthewiserpodcast on Instagram.Keep the conversation going!

When Jessica Ekhoff gave birth to her son, the last thing she planned for was a mental health crisis. The signs were there within days of delivering, but with no history of mania, it was easy to overlook the obsessive, grandiose thinking, the hyperfixation and impulsivity. Eventually, a terrifying delusion landed Jessica in a psychiatric ward where she was able to get a diagnosis and receive treatment. Post-recovery, Jessica is sharing her story through her book: Super Sad Unicorn: A Memoir of Mania. Her mission is to shine a light on postpartum bipolar disorder, and tell those who are affected that they are not alone. In this episode:Reflecting on the first signs of bipolar disorder.The disparity between who you are as a person and what is happening with the mental health of your brain.What led to starting in-patient treatment.Receiving a proper diagnosis and experiencing the mania and delusions that come with it.The importance of validation and support of others with similar experiences.Stay connected to Jessica:Book: Super Sad Unicorn: A Memoir of ManiaFacebook: Jessica EkhoffInstagram: @JessicaEkhoffCharity Donation: Postpartum Support InternationalSubscribe to All The Wiser  wherever you listen to podcasts - we’re on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and more!

He knew he was loved by his mother, and because she loved him, Yusuf Dahl knew he was worth something. Growing up in a food insecure and financially unstable household in Milwaukee taught Yusuf what not to do in order to be a successful adult. Those lessons made him a profitable drug dealer. After landing in prison, however, Yusuf began applying himself in a new way. The investment in himself set him up for a future he never could have imagined, including a degree at Princeton, a real estate career, and a mission to make housing more affordable and available for everyone.In this episode:The right to affordable housing.The influence our parents and guardians have on us.How we view our community matters.The role demographics plays in the trajectory of your life.Learning to respond to challenges and adversity with optimism.Stay connected with Yusuf:Websites: www.yusufdahl.comwww.realestatelaballentown.comArticle: Strom Thurmond blocked me from renting a homeTwitter: @YusufDahlInstagram: @yusufdahlCharity Donation: The Petey Greene ProgramSubscribe to All The Wiser  wherever you listen to podcasts - we’re on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and more!

In part two of this series, Ken Coll recounts his experience raising Matthew and surviving the stabbing that nearly took his life. A few years after adopting baby Matthew, it became clear to Tom Boulet and his husband Ken Coll that something wasn’t right. Matthew had severe behavioral issues and an oppositional, defiant nature that had him bouncing from school to school. Still, Tom and Ken left no stone unturned to get Matthew the care and treatment he needed. After finishing high school and attending a few years of college, Matthew returned home one summer and attempted to kill both Tom and Ken, stabbing them a combined 31 times in the middle of the night. After a miraculous recovery, Tom and Ken share reflections on parenting a child with mental illness and how they found meaning and purpose and a renewed devotion to each other amid tragedy. In this episode:Falling in love two months after divorce and an unexpected diagnosis.The difficult entry of their adopted son, Matthew, into the world.Navigating the special needs for a child with aggression. Deciding that a diagnosis will not define him.Leaning into the power of the way we choose to view things.Stay connected to Ken:Website: www.gardensbyken.comFacebook: Ken CollInstagram: @coll_kenCharity Donation: AIDS Project LASubscribe to All The Wiser  wherever you listen to podcasts - we’re on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and more!

Kimi is joined by Christy and her new puppy, Holly June Miller Peterson, to discuss vulnerability, how powerful it is, and how hard it can be to find courage. Christy opens up about her desire to share more vulnerably as well as her hesitation to do so.Inspired by Paul Gilmartin's episode last week, Kimi shares her experience with hypomania and discusses whether some symptoms can be viewed as strengths or even gifts. In closing, we are reminded that every episode on the pod is ultimately about post traumatic growth and how hard things (and talking about hard things) can lead to positive change. Follow the show at @allthewiserpodcast on Instagram.Keep the conversation going!

Most people don’t change unless they have to. For Paul Gilmartin, it was facing a life without experiencing the intimacy he saw other people had. First he needed to know how to deal with his feelings and then find healthy ways to express them, which he does very openly on his popular podcast, The Mental Illness Happy Hour. But the biggest piece of the puzzle for Paul was facing the childhood trauma he spent 20 years avoiding through therapy, support groups and sobriety.  Article referenced:Dr. Alan Rappaport called Co-NarcissismBook referenced:A Gentle Path by Patrick J.

Kimi is smitten with Meyli Chapin, “Terrorist Attack Girl”, and after listening to the interview from last week, Christy is too. Both appreciate Meyli’s authenticity and the raw emotion she brings to her story of terror and healing. It is a rare gift to share pain and hope in equal measure. Kimi and Christy discuss trauma, both the big and small hardships that impact our health and wellbeing. They wonder whether small-scale, more personal events qualify as trauma, and conclude that trauma is trauma (this is not a competition!). The friends discuss tools to help navigate adversities and Kimi shares an insight from her guests that the retelling of their trauma is often cathartic and a bridge to growth. Are you interested in thinking more about trauma and your mindset toward adversity? Kimi and Christy suggest reading “The Body Keeps The Score” – bonus, it has beautiful cover art – and a practical workbook called “Choose Growth”, that provides research and strategies for transcending trauma, fear and self-doubt. Follow the show at @allthewiserpodcast on Instagram.Keep the conversation going!
