Heidi Stride Hardy Mother Smiling Survivor S4 E20
Tuesday Jun 06, 2023
Tuesday Jun 06, 2023
My name is Heidi Stride Hardy mother of Alexandre Baron who brought an entire community to its knees and opened our eyes to the need for connection when he became an angel by his own volition in October 2019. Our community knew us well and no one saw it coming so our families pain became the fulcrum point that tipped the scales into realizing suicide and mental affliction is a reality for every family, not just the un-conforming, or not so caring ones.
These thoughts exist behind a smile and good behaviour too, we have just been too busy surviving to see beyond the book cover. Since that dreaded day Light 4 Change was formed, a community group of laymen and professionals alike, each one of us doing our part to let others know it is OK to feel, to heal, and to be authentically connected to those around you. I was diagnosed with complex PTSD after slipping into a nervous and mental breakdown while trying to learn how to live without my son growing each day in front of my eyes.
Realizing that therapy was very expensive, hard to find, and necessary for so many who are one more negatively affecting moment away from a breakdown themselves, I started a podcast, YouTube channel, and an Instagram page that focus on healing and finding your role as the authentic unique person you are while you designing a life of joy for yourself. The idea of these platforms is to give people the inspiration, mindset, tools, and activities to learn to understand their mind and who they are for themselves by applying emotional hygiene to their lives. Some of us are not even aware of the layers our small emotional traumas created in the formation of our personality and character, they may even have become useful scars that motivate us, but nonetheless we can all benefit from understanding our thoughts and the connection to how we live and the health of our bodies.
During the pandemic, I had plenty of time to think about how I was going to be OK with so much grief filling my heart. I started writing about how I saw the 12 universal laws overlaying life showing how we transform on many levels in compounded lessons of growth through trials and tribulations called experiences, 6 months later I had written a book and was convinced by my peers to publish it. The Hardy Theory: It is going to be OK (an anthropological story) is a long, dry read that is a little controversial but if you get through it all, it's been said your mind will grow 3 sizes that day, and so will your heart.
Now that the world is off of lockdown you can also find me shining my light volunteering as a member of the Hammond Optimist Club and Russell Village Women's Institute.

Brad Wetzler Addiction and PTSD S4 E19
Tuesday May 30, 2023
Tuesday May 30, 2023
Brad Wetzler speaks and writes passionately about mental health, men's issues, and spirituality.
His new memoir, Into the Soul of the World: My Journey to Healing {Hachette, March 2023) is an adventure journalist’s story of a decade-long, round-the-world quest to overcome his drug addiction and to understand and heal from past traumas.
More about his new book: Suffering from PTSD and severe depression from past trauma, battling an addiction to overprescribed psychiatric medication, and at the rock bottom of his career, journalist Brad Wetzler had nowhere to go. So he set out on a journey to wander and hopefully find himself—and the world—again.
Into the Soul of the World is Wetzler’s thrilling, impactful, and heartrending memoir of healing—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. An adventure journalist at heart, Wetzler mixes travelogue with empowering insights about his inner journey to better care for his own mental health. Journey with him as he travels across Israel and the West Bank, before moving on to India, a candle-lit cave on a mountaintop in the Himalayan foothills, and a life-changing encounter with a 100-year-old yogi.
Wetzler's writing is full of the poignant, amusing, and occasionally heart‑breaking situations that unfold when we finally decide to confront depression (or any mental health struggle) and declare ourselves ready to heal: How do we heal our past and thrive again? What does it mean to live a good life? How can we transform our suffering and serve others? His answer: live to tell the story and find the humility and courage to be the best human you can be.
More about Brad: Wetzler began his writing and publishing career serving as an editor at Outside magazine, where he worked with some of America’s finest journalists and nonfiction writers. He later turned in his editor’s pen for a writer’s and traveled the world writing about adventure and exploration, business, politics, the environment, sports, and wellness. His articles have appeared in the New York Times, Newsweek, GQ, Wired, National Geographic, Travel + Leisure, and Outside, as well as hundreds of major U.S. newspapers.
In midlife, after recovering from a long, debilitating depression, he became a certified yoga teacher and began exploring and writing about our inner landscape: psychology, spirituality, meditation, and yoga. He writes the Substack newsletter: Enlightened-ish with Brad Wetzler and hosts the Enlightened-ish with Brad Wetzler Podcast. He teaches in-person yoga workshops at Practice Yoga Austin and he teaches yoga online.
He holds a masters degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism.
He lives in Austin, Texas.
