My guests on this episode are Ken and Anna Kunken

As a junior at Cornell University's College of Engineering, Ken Kunken suffered a neck injury while making a tackle during a lightweight football game against Columbia University.

Ken underwent over nine months of hospital stays and rehabilitation. During this time, he testified before a U.S. Senate Sub-Committee on Health Care, led by Senator Edward Kennedy.

He returned to Cornell to finish his degree in Industrial Engineering. After graduating, Ken shifted his career focus towards helping people, especially those with disabilities. He earned a Master of Arts in Education from Cornell and a Master of Education in Psychology from Columbia University, becoming the first quadriplegic to receive a graduate degree from Cornell.

Anna was initially employed as Ken's carer but he fell in love with her and they have been married for 21 years .They had IVF procedures which failed three times before they were finally blessed with a set of boy triplets .Ken and Anna Kunken reside in Long Island, New York, they are married , and together they parent a set of boy triplet

Ken and Anna were exceptional guests, and I admired how they completed each other's sentences. They are a prime example that physical or hidden disabilities should not hinder one's pursuit of happiness or achievements in life .

Later, Ken pursued a Juris Doctor degree at Hofstra University's School of Law, graduating in 1982.

For over four decades, Ken served as an assistant district attorney in Nassau County, eventually becoming Deputy Bureau Chief. Ken, still married to Anna, is a proud father to his triplets. His biography, "I Dream of Things That Never Were: The Ken Kunken Story," was published in 2023.

My guest on this episode is Jason Pike, an Army Veteran who overcame incredible odds to serve in the military. Diagnosed with a learning disability at the age of seven and suffering from osteomyelitis, a bone infection that left him unable to walk at nine, Jason faced significant challenges. His health issues caused him to fail first grade and prevented him from attending college at that time. With limited options, he turned to the military, joining the National Guard and eventually transitioning to active duty in the Army.

During his 31 years in the U.S. Army, Jason became a decorated combat veteran with multiple deployments, including nine years overseas in five countries. He shared how his military experiences continue to impact his mental health and offered insights into how he copes with post-traumatic stress, a common struggle for many veterans.

Jason Pike has also become a national best-selling author, sharing his journey through three powerful books:

• Soldier Against All Odds: A memoir that offers readers a glimpse into the adventures, challenges, and costs of service.
• Out of the Uniform, Back into Civilian Life: No-Nonsense Veterans Benefits Guide
• Leading Through the Crossfire: A Veteran's Blueprint for Navigating Toxic Work Environments

Danielle Vassell is a motivational speaker, author, and film producer. In May 2020, she released her debut short film, "Defying The ODDS: Women of Impact," which delves into the personal journeys of five young women of colour who overcame significant challenges in their fields. The film was aired on Sky 193 Vox Africa, reaching a global audience of 130 million viewers, and on Sky 170 Together TV, reaching an additional 26 million viewers in the UK.

Danielle's journey has been a roller coaster, from being a reserved, quiet student who was bullied in school to becoming a school council member appointed by her tutor, giving her the responsibility of being the voice for other students in high school. In college, she was the business representative for her entire business course, which led to her nomination by her tutor to visit 10 Downing Street in England.

Danielle's passion is to create platforms for individuals to share their personal stories, thereby inspiring many others.

Her film focused on the stories of women of color defying odds in various sectors of life and was featured on Apple TV in December. It climbed to number 7 on the Apple and iTunes Charts for short films released between 2016 and 2020. Danielle's inspiring story has been featured in various media outlets, including newspapers and magazine articles, and she has appeared on numerous radio stations and television networks, making a positive impact.

We discussed her personal journey of discovering that her father, whom she believed had died from a heart attack when she was just ten years old, actually took his own life. She learned this truth 35 years later, which led her to grieve for him once again. Her cousin and a close family friend also died by suicide.

These tragedies drove Lisa to seek an understanding of the thought processes of individuals who decide to end their lives, leading to her involvement with The Trevor Project.

The Trevor Project provides support to the LGBTQ community's at-risk youth (ages 13-24) for any mental health issues.

We discussed the range of emotions—sadness, heartbreak, pain, agony—that accompany the loss of loved ones, how one questions themselves, asking why, and how signs that someone may be struggling and contemplating suicide can be spotted, as well as their impact on mental health.

We talked about how people might show signs of struggle, such as posting on social media. We also discussed specific ways to help someone contemplating suicide, like being a good listener and offering resources, including the emergency response number.

As a friend or colleague, you could make a third-party call to the emergency number on behalf of the person contemplating suicide.

You could also encourage them to call a therapist, which we shared.

We talked about stigmas surrounding mental health issues and different ways these could push people to being suicidal

Lisa discussed her self-care as someone who confronts trauma and the imminent risk of suicide. She explained how these can sometimes act as trauma triggers for her, as a person who has survived multiple suicide attempts. However, she has access to a robust support network that offers therapy and outlets to help her unwind and debrief after each call.

Additionally, Lisa is a storyteller for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), an LGBTQ+ advocate, a survivor of suicide loss and grief, a support group facilitator with Samaritans, and a mental health advocate.

She writes the opinion column "We Are Who We Are" in Boston and is the author of books such as "How To Raise Perfectly... Imperfect Kids And Be Ok With It,"

"Untying Parent Anxiety," and "LIFE: It Is What It Is," which are all available where books are sold.

Lisa also contributes to Healthline Parenthood, GrownAndFlown, TODAY Parents,

Thrive Global, Little Things, and More Content Now.

Lisa resides and writes just north of Boston. For more information, visit her website at www.lisasugarman.com.

Kristof Morrow, a disabled U.S. veteran, suffered severe abuse from his parents, who struggled with addiction, leading to his prolonged battles with anxiety, depression, and OCD.

After the suicide of a close friend and colleague, he began drinking heavily. Kristof also has Tourette's syndrome, which causes him to punch hard surfaces, sometimes even himself, resulting in numerous chronic injuries and jeopardizing his right thumb's functionality. Consequently, he wears bandages and tapes on two fingers, along with a thumb brace.

His Tourette's makes him feel marginalized and causes discomfort to others. Cooking poses a challenge, and he depends on muscle memory for everyday tasks.

As an author and award-winning journalist, Kristof has sold over 1,500 copies of his books. He became an EMT at 23, a 911 dispatcher at 26, and secured a newspaper job through an audition. By 27, he had won awards from two Texas Press Associations for feature writing and photography. Despite these achievements, he manages his Tourette’s by frequently repeating the word "Shakespeare."

He achieved viral fame on TikTok for his unique approach to a woman he was attracted to, and he has discussed the advantages and disadvantages of being a successful TikToker.

A UNICEF report published in 2021, suggests that 240 million children worldwide live with disabilities, and that figure is increasing by the day .

Russ Solomon is a music therapist and a parent to a neurodiverse son with anger issues, sensory issues, and ADHD. He is also a wellness mentor who helps parents of children with special needs, to eliminate stress, deepen their connection with their kids in a peaceful way, create harmony at home, and ignite their children’s potential.

His motivation to help parents stems from his own experiences growing up with relatives who had cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, and developmental delays. He witnessed his relatives struggling to cope with their family members, which inspired him to support other parents in similar situations.

We discussed the triggers that cause parents to struggle and feel overwhelmed, particularly when they believe they must sacrifice their careers to care for their neurotypical children.

Russ says parents need to become knowledgeable about their children’s condition to reduce anxiety. Additionally, he suggests that parents simplify and delegate daily routines, using adaptive technologies to assist in daily care and empower their neurotypical children. He emphasizes that parents should prioritize their own health and well-being by getting enough sleep, eating well, and finding time for activities they enjoy. He believes that having a positive mindset, focusing on the positives, and celebrating small victories can make a big difference in managing stress. He also advises seeking professional help when feeling overwhelmed and advocates for finding therapists and counsellors who can offer strategies to cope with stress and improve mental health, as well as accepting help from friends and family to lighten their care responsibilities.

With the international women's week underway this week we focus on  Miscarriages in Pregnancies , Infertility and lack of support during IVF treatments and how these impair mental health in women. In the UK it is estimated 1 in 5 pregnancies end in miscarriages , and this figure also increases with the age of the mother putting a higher risk of miscarriage before the 20th week of pregnancy on women aged 40 and over . Most women don't get the emotional support required to deal with the loss of their growing babies this triggers increased levels of anxiety , depression and sometimes suicidal tendencies especially when women experience recurrent miscarriage . Most miscarriages are presented  with vaginal bleeding but other symptoms include cramping ,abdominal pains and more . My guest on this episode is Jennifer , originally from the Bronx in America but now resident in Poland . she talked about getting pregnant just months after her marriage having seven missed miscarriages one after the other  . she explained how she discovered part of the cause of miscarriage was because herself and her husband had similar genes which made her body automatically activate its attack mode and killing off her growing foetus in the process . She also had low progesterone and blood clotting issues which deprived her growing baby the needed blood supply for growth . She described various treatments she went through before finally having a full term pregnancy but suffering pre-eclampsia and other complications during the pregnancy . The devastating impact this had on her relationship with her husband and impacted on her emotional psychological and mental well-being.  #miscarriage #MissedMiscarriages  #Infertility #LackofemotionalsupportduringIVF #ImpactOfMiscarriageonMentalHealth #Gaana #Newsly #Applepodcast #Spotifypodcast Find The Meademusings Podcast on Newsly  USE promo code MEADEMUSINGS support us buymeacoffee/TheMeadeMusingsor paypal.me/meademusings

Eric is one of many front-line military veterans who experience Post Traumatic Stress Disorders and Mental health breakdown after devoting their time and energy to serve in the military to save others. 

Eric started his military career as a young 19 year old .

.As a college student he didn't fit in and he was really confused at the point of making decisions on what to do with his life when he was kicked out of college, he decided to join the military as a combat engineer !

Little did he know he would be clearing mine fields and searching for roadside bombs on a daily basis .

Initially deployed to Germany as that was one of his choice locations because of his German heritage , however he was later deployed to Baghdad in Iraq where he knew no one as part of the US military troupe sent to destroy Iraqi weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and end the dictatorial rule of Saddam Hussein .

He had to adjust and adapt fast to the environment going out sometimes riding on special army vehicles called Buffalo army Trucks going to landfills , on his first job his team discovered one hundred and twenty six roadside bombs ,they regularly found Improvised explosive devices (IED) also witnessed his colleagues having bombs detonated in their faces, even losing his military colleagues who he refereed to as brothers on Christmas day of 2006 when everyone else was celebrating.

They died on duty when giant cylinder bullet IED's , detonated on them ,no one was out to help them , even when they got back still processing the incident mentally they were asked to go back out again the next morning , he eventually left the military but had recurrent  nightmares about these incidents until he wrote his book which he titled A Bomb Hunter's story -My life clearing the Roads of Iraq .

Eric's experience as a Combat engineer also left him with hearing loss , Post traumatic Stress disorder PTSD- He then had a mental breakdown !

He offers useful advice to other military veterans based on his learning curve and having to tow a long path rehabilitate  into his community post military service.

With President Putins war ongoing in Ukraine I know there are thousands of Military and non -military volunteers at the war fronts daily ,and most will likely end up experiencing similar issues as Eric whilst going through post war rehabilitation into their communities , however I hope the advice given by Eric helps them through the difficult times ahead of them , I hope Eric's story inspires other military veterans to continue living a fulfilled life even after they leave the military service.
