How to Finally Lose that Weight and Keep It Off for Good

Have you ever been at such a low point in your life that you begged your partner to leave you? Have you felt helpless with the ongoing struggle of trying to lose weight? And what about anxiety and depression that becomes overwhelming?

Coach Jon shares his incredible story of how he won the battle and lost 100 pounds. He is now a weight loss coach and emotional eating expert, a nanotechnology researcher,  a Navy Marine engineer,, and a globetrotting nomad. 

Coach Jon has found his calling -- and it is to help you lose weight for good and leave the bogus diets in the rearview mirror. 

Weight loss

With Freedom Nutrition Coaching he marries the Science of Metabolism with the Psychology of Behavior Change and the compassion of human connection to create life-changing transformations for each of us.

Coach Jon struggled with PTSD, trauma, obesity and mental health issues spending years on diets, methods, coaching, etc. that were entirely ineffective as a long-term strategy for creating health.

In his interview, Coach Jon shares his incredible story of how you can win the battle using the concept of 'brain-driven' transformation as it connects to health, wellness, and weight loss.  

SECRET: It is not thinking less of yourself -- but thinking of yourself less!



Coach Jon's flagship program, Lifestyle-180, is a lifestyle transformation program that helps people to reverse engineer their healthy lifestyle, working with their brains instead of trying to fight against them.

If You Have Been Broken, Do You Know How To Move Forward?

Kate Wallinga spent her professional life in the fields of mental health

and criminal justice, before breaking her back and being put on

permanent disability in 2014. She has worked in the fields of

correctional psych, forensic psych, and crisis assessment.


Kate studied criminal justice and mental health counseling and worked

in the New Hampshire State Prison system, locked psychiatric facilities,

and several emergency rooms.


Ignorance Was Bliss


In 2010, Kate had a near-death experience, which led to her being

housebound for a year. In 2014, Kate broke her back and had to

leave her career. In 2019, Kate's father died by suicide. She has

battled health issues including epilepsy and deafness. But, as she

will share today, although broken, Kate moved forward and she

will show you how to as well - no matter what you have gone

through.


After accepting the necessity of leaving her preferred career, Kate

spent a few years moping, then started listening to podcasts. She loves

true crime genre and soon realized this is what she wanted to do - to

connect with and share other people's stories.


In her interview, she shares her incredible story and how she became a

story-teller, a story-collector, and a.....herder of cats.





Kate Wallinga


Podcasting seemed the logical next step after Kate worked in the fields of

forensic and correctional psychology, and crisis assessment.


Ignorance Was Bliss is a show about how we become who we are and 

making just about anything sound normal - from PTSD to podcasting to 

serial murder. It is about people's stories.


This podcast is about how we become who we are - about making 

just about anything sound normal. Over time, the focus of the show 

has widened to include the normal, the average, the ordinary, that 

all of us can understand...but we continue to think of ourselves as 

somehow messed up, weird, wrong. 


We're not.

You're not.

Honest.

Teen Suicide: If You Wait for Signs of a Problem - You May Be Too Late

Blindsided by her 14-year-old daughter’s suicide attempt in 1995, Jackie entered a world of depression, addiction, medical mysteries, and deadly silences. 

TEDx speaker, Radio Show Host, International Best-selling Author, Mindset Magician, co-founder, and Director of the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, Jackie Simmons is best known for her mission to “Make teen suicide a thing of the past.” 

Jackie Simmons

The journey into the world of mental health services and cultural taboos left Jackie feeling lost and alone. 


“I’m fine” on the outside, Jackie hid her deep, psychic wounds behind a façade of frantic entrepreneurial activity.


Then on August 3, 2019, Jackie’s now 37-year-old daughter, broke the silence. Jackie calls August 3, the day her “purpose tapped her on the shoulder.” 


For Jackie Simmons, the leap from “Sales Trainer” and “Stress Management Consultant” to “Emotional Resilience Training” and “Mindset Mastery” was short in linear time and long in unwinding the limiting beliefs that held her back and kept her playing small. 

Jackie Siimmons


Along the way, Jackie explored many dead ends and followed several false prophets. Jackie also worked with amazing creators of transformative training and technologies. 


During her interview, she shares her story but more importantly, what you can do to help stop the pandemic of teen suicide.





The beginnings of Jackie’s journey to the TEDx stage were captured in the eBook Why Not Workbook: Breaking the Silence on Teen Suicide.


Teen suicide


Be prepared, this book will wrap you up in a blanket of emotions.

This book is not for you to read . . . this book is for you to share . . .

In the next 24 hours, more than 3,000 American teens will attempt to take their own lives. 

This means that every day, over 6,000 parents start to live the guilt nightmare that accompanies a suicide attempt. This means that every day, over 20,000 grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, and sisters get sucked into the guilt nightmare. This means that every day, 100s of 1,000s of classmates, teachers, boyfriends, girlfriends, and neighbors also get sucked into the guilt nightmare. All probably just as blind-sided by it as we were. Inside this book, you'll find stories of heartache and stories of triumph. These stories are real and raw. We know that when it comes to suicide, silence is deadly, so each story is designed to help you break the silence and start a conversation. 

From this humble book, a movement and a non-profit were born. Please share this book. Talk about it, share your stories, and share a hug. You can learn more ways to stop teen suicide by watching: "Have 'The Talk' to Stop Teen Suicide" on the TEDx YouTube channel, at the Teen Suicide Prevention Society, and at The Suicide Prevention Show summit. 

Learn more, break the silence, and have the talk.

Each Year Over 125,000 Americans Die from Overdose and Suicide Combined

Each year, over 125,000 Americans die from overdose and suicide combined. And this is NOT even the other causes of death related to substance misuse.

They are our friends, our neighbors, our family members. They go to our churches, eat next to us at our favorite restaurants. They talk to us through our favorite podcasts. And these deaths are completely preventable.

Jay Shifman is a Mental Health and Substance Misuse & Recovery Speaker, Coach, and Advocate, and the host of the Choose Your Struggle podcast. 

Jay has been in recovery for ten years and survived multiple suicide attempts and an overdose.

Jay talks about the struggles and the outdated model of care our communities may or may not offer and shows us how we can help those close to us and our community at large.
