Many high school students feel pressured by friends and relatives to attend college upon graduation. Interestingly, today’s guest had the complete opposite experience. For Darla Beam, college was overtly out of the question as it wasn’t something her parents could afford. After exploring one coast to the other, becoming a caretaker for a loved one and everything in between, Darla slowly started identifying her own strengths. She began to realize how much she loved people – more specifically: how she loved being present with them. Being with them in the good times and bad, helping them stir up a vision for what their life could look like and identifying their own goals… this was what Darla knew she was made for. With that, she became a conscious life and leadership coach, who works with people to help them identify and remove barriers that are in the way of becoming all they want to be. This noteworthy episode is inspiring, uplifting, and sure to spark hope in your heart with the realization that it’s never too late to make a change or become who you know you were meant to be.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Viviana is today’s former participant and she comes with a story of transparency. Sharing what it was like as a teen in foster care, to being in an inpatient facility for three years before being thrust into college, Viviana is here to share the good, bad, and ugly of her story in hopes that it might provide a sense of comfort and understanding for others who may have been or are currently in similar situations. After years of reflection on those mostly negative experiences in her life, Viviana has had time to process and make sense of all the chaos. With hindsight perspective, she shares incredibly wise and thoughtful advice for anyone who is interested in pursuing college immediately after treatment. 

NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.

It’s not uncommon for someone to set out on a path they really believe in, or pursue the path that grueling years of hard work earned them a degree in. It’s also not out of the ordinary for a certain eye-opening life experience to cause an individual to want to change course in pursuit of a different passion, lifestyle or outcome. That was the case for today’s Success is Subjective guest, John Morris. After undergraduate studies at Ohio Wesleyan University and completing his MBA from Penn State’s Smeal College of Business, John felt pretty confident of the future that was unfolding in front of him. After a successful eight year career as a market maker, trading options on the floor of the Philadelphia Eagle stock exchange, John had a personal experience which propelled him onto a completely different path altogether. Lean in is as he shares what that defining experience was, and how he is now using it to help dozens of individuals all across America.

It’s not uncommon for successful high school students to get to college and find themselves hit with the reality that their former education wasn't nearly sufficient enough to help them feel confident and equipped for the rigorous academics that lay in front of them. For others, this process of pursuing a degree can be infinitely more daunting with any undiagnosed mental health conditions, as was the case for today’s Success is Subjective guest, Dr. Bianca Busch. While Dr. Bianca is now an esteemed psychiatrist with many accomplishments under her belt - career, personal, and academic - she fought hard… harder than many to get to where she is now. After years of struggling through college, knowing she wanted to go to medical school but having a very difficult time with the sciences, Dr. Bianca was encouraged by a boss and mentor to get testing done. The test results helped Dr. Bianca understand herself better and gave her a confidence boost that encouraged her to continue her education. With a new understanding of how her brain works, a huge perspective shifted for her: she realized she wasn’t stupid, as she once felt, but rather, she needed a different approach to her studies. Now as the founder of The College Psychiatrist, and author of Test Anxiety No More, Dr. Bianca Busch brings the desperately needed morale boost to college students and their families. This episode is deeply enriched with wisdom, perspective, and numerous resources for listeners to cling to.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Today’s former participant is Dan O’Gorman. Dan grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and fell to addiction as a teen. While attending a handful of outpatient treatments, as well as a short stay at a residential center, it took a near death experience for him and his parents to realize the magnitude of the situation and to implement more extreme measures. Dan explains that his sobriety began out of guilt, but it has lasted because of his community connection, grit and the realization that not only was it possible for him to succeed, but that he finally wanted it for himself. He shares the enlightened advice he would give to his younger self, now on the other side of addiction – which is both inspiring and useful to those listening who also struggle with substance use. This is an uplifting and powerful episode you don’t want to miss.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Today’s former participant is Jacqueline. Jacqueline sought out treatment for substance use as a 22-year-old adult. While not a teen, and certainly not forced into treatment, Jacqueline very much felt that treatment was a desperate and crucial last resort – a decision she had to make. While the process began as an immediate and hopeful band-aid solution, it didn’t take long for Jacqueline to see the hope of her future unfold. After her stay in a detox center, she accepted that more work needed to be done and she bravely continued her sobriety journey. Today, Jacqueline shares a hopeful story of success, while encouraging listeners that a choice to stay in treatment, despite the discomfort it can bring, can lead to a life of freedom, joy and pride in the hard work that was done. Jacqueline also leaves listeners with a simple, yet profound perspective shift that helped her stay focused on her sobriety, rather than allowing discouragement to take over.

For many people, a core desire based on natural giftings or a childhood dream comes forth when asked what their passion is. For others, they don’t quite know what makes their heart come alive until they stumble upon that hobby, career or volunteer opportunity sometime in adulthood. Regardless of the “how” and “when,” life eventually seems to bring all of us to the path we need to be on, at some point or another. For Maddie McCandless, she discovered her unexpected passion for winemaking as a young adult, after tragedy struck her family. Taking on the mindset of one of the most important people in her life, Maddie made an abrupt, but well thought out change in her education, going from pre-pharmacy to agriculture. On today’s episode of Success is Subjective, Maddie and Joanna discuss the winding road that led Maddie to where she is today: thriving in her career and living life to the fullest.

Listen in as Zack shares how an abrupt collision of his various interests ultimately led him down the successful path he is on now.

Today’s episode of Success is Subjective features a conversation with Joanna and Dr. Ruth Viehoff, a licensed clinical psychologist. Through her own personal story, Dr. Viehoff has known what it’s like to struggle with mental health issues, especially as a teen and young adult. Now as a practitioner who works with young people, she is able to relate to and inspire her clients in a meaningful way. Dr. Viehoff discusses topics such as the challenges that can come from ADHD and perfectionism, and she also addresses the duality of helpful and sometimes limiting, that can exist within any diagnosis. She emphasizes the significance of self-compassion as each individual faces the peaks and valleys of life, while also highlighting the power of self-awareness during stressful and uncomfortable situations. For any young person struggling with mental health, or those who simply want to grow in self-awareness, this episode will surely be enlightening and hopeful.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special former participant series where she extends the opportunity for former participants who feel comfortable sharing their journey with others. Today’s former participant is Andy. Currently in grad school, pursuing his master’s degree in social work, it took Andy’s own recovery for him to gain a clear vision for what he wanted to do with his life. Andy explains how a chronic health issue led to a massive decline in his mental health, which then led him to try to cope as best as he knew how at the time. While wilderness therapy was challenging at times, Andy encourages listeners when assessing their own lives, to consider if it’s more painful to stay stuck, or more painful to make a hard, but healing change. He also tells of a very promising healing modality that worked so exceptionally well for him, that he almost couldn’t believe it. This episode is sure to stir hope and inspiration, as well as challenge listeners to assess their own perspective of pain, mindset and outcomes.

Today’s former participant is Evan. Evan has thrived in his sobriety for the last four years and is on a path to helping others who reflect his younger self, who also struggled with substance use and lack of coping skills. While his journey before treatment was anything but a walk in the park, Evan sits down with Joanna to share with listeners how he has found success in his eyes, confidence in who he is and vision for where he’s going. From a wilderness program, to a recovery program and then to a sober living house, Evan explains how each step was absolutely essential in helping him create a life he is proud of, where he no longer relies on substances to cope with life challenges.

It’s one thing to comprehend that gap years can be helpful for some “misguided” people in the world. It’s another challenge to identify that a gap year could be personally beneficial, and to realize they can actually propel a person further in life and career than bulldozing 4 years of college immediately after high school, in many situations. But that’s part of the message today’s Success is Subjective guest is here to share with listeners. Dan Jordan is an author, accessibility coordinator and a counselor in higher education. From how to have a productive gap year, the beauty of trying and failing and the importance of self-advocacy, the guidance he offers listeners today is full of insight for any young adult and their parents. Additionally, as the father of a son with learning differences, Dan’s advice doesn’t only come from the place of a professional, but also from personal experience, making it all the more rich and meaningful. If you’re a student at a crossroad between uncertainty about the future and the pressure to make immediate and huge life decisions, tune in to hear a message of acceptance for where you are right now, boosted with hope for your future and insight on how to get there.

While many of us are prone to a faulty and often crippling belief that our lives can’t change unless we make radical changes, we might find ourselves scoffing at the idea that miniscule adjustments can make dramatic shifts. On today’s episode of Success is Subjective, you’ll hear the powerful and inspiring story of keynote speaker, Jon Paul Crimi and the ways in which his life has changed dramatically, largely thanks to a consistent practice of breathwork. Growing up in Irish gang territory on the south shore of Massachusetts, where fighting and crime were a part of everyday life, no one would have predicted that Jon Paul Crimi’s life would forever be changed through the simple yet profound practice of breathwork. Today, Jon Paul sits down with Joanna to share how he went from substance use disorder and working alongside gang members, to later traveling the world as a coach for prominent celebrity figures such Justin Bieber and Jon Paul’s dear friend, the late Matthew Perry. Through a beautiful combination of authenticity, humor and a no BS approach, Jon Paul’s message today will surely leave you with a refreshed and hopeful outlook on life.

On this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna brings you another story from our special parent series where she interviews parents whose children have overcome various challenges. Today, Joanna welcomes Ben on the show to discuss the parent perspective of going through the treatment process. Ben is a parent who supported his child going off to college across the country but soon found out that he was struggling with his mental health. Taking the steps necessary to get him help and into treatment, potentially saved his child's life. 

NOTE: The podcasts in this series can include sensitive subjects such as suicide, self-harm, substance abuse, hospitalizations, psychotic episodes, and other traumatic experiences which include parts of the treatment journey. No topic is off limits and not all stories are positive but they are real, raw, and transparent.
