On this final day of June, we’re celebrating this final day of Pride Month with a look back at three of our favorite conversations from trailblazing voices in the LGBTQ community. Amit Paley, the executive director and CEO of The Trevor Project is doing life-saving work leading the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ young people. Rosemary Ketchum made history when she became the first transgender person elected to a public office in West Virginia. Jeffrey Marsh is a non-binary rights activist, speaker, and author who is best known for making inspirational videos that have been seen more than a billion times, teaching self-love and acceptance. Each of these conversations invites listeners to learn and understand the LGBTQ community, to celebrate the progress in this space, and the opportunity for continued support ahead.--------Imma keep some healthy space from social for a bit and am bringing it on email.

This week Dave has a conversation with the hosts of HER BEST DAD EVER, Markay Fairley and Hector Gabriel. They’re two girl dads who know we can’t do this fatherhood thing on our own and want to champion, encourage, and celebrate fellow girl dads to be her best dad ever. They’re building a global community where girl dads can feel seen and supported on their fatherhood journey by having honest conversations, listening with open hearts, and sharing what we’re learning with other girl dads.You can learn more about Her Best Dad Ever here! --> http://www.herbestdadever.com--------Imma keep some healthy space from social for a bit and am bringing it on email.

A native of Hungary, Dr. Edith Eger was a teenager in 1944 when she and her family were sent to Auschwitz during WWII. Despite overwhelming odds, Edith survived the Holocaust and ultimately came to the US with her husband where she went on to graduate with a Ph.D. from the University of Texas and became an eminent psychologist. Today, she maintains a busy clinical practice and lectures around the world — including amazing interviews with Oprah, Brene Brown, and more. Today, we’re fortunate to have her joined by her extraordinary daughter, child psychologist Dr. Marianne Engle, who co-authored just released a new edition of her beloved book The Gift — a follow up of her NY Times Bestseller The Choice. The original edition launched in Sept 2020 to rave reviews for its warm and insightful approach to dealing with life's most complex challenges — and provides a hands-on guide that gently encourages readers to change the thoughts and behaviors that may be keeping them imprisoned in the past. This new edition bring

This week’s solo episode finds Dave diving into a conversation about the blessings of not knowing how things are going to turn out. For so many of us, our dreams, relationships or identities take turns we could have never expected, especially when we make big leaps into new spaces. But, in so many cases, it was not knowing how things were going to go that gave us permission to start the journey in the first place. Had insight into how some of our dreams were ultimately destined to die, we would have kept ourselves from fully living to avoid the pain in the journey. Dave shares how not knowing how his adoption journey, departure from Disney, or the end of his marriage was a big blessing in taking steps forward that have been instrumental to his growth.--------Imma keep some healthy space from social for a bit and am bringing it on email.

Today's bonus episode is a continuation of last week's conversation between Heidi and Dave, where the end of their conversation was interrupted by the urgency to get to an airport. This last piece felt important enough to drop it into the feed this week to finish the thought. There's something as humans that ends up happening when we venture into a new space where something in the environment is different than it was before. That self-doubt, the negative voices that live inside of us, start chirping as we get closer to the event. Sometimes outside voices join that chorus and have us start operating in ways that are totally disconnected from how we'd normally hope to approach that new level.Hopefully, you find this episode helpful or at least a little bit interesting.

This week on Rise Together, Dave is talking about regret. If you are someone who has let regrets overwhelm or even hijack your mental wellbeing, Dave invites you to try and see regret through a different lens. What if a regret was a resource, that if you were able to tap into it, could afford you the learning and the growth and the agency to have a richer, fuller experience.Rarely will you regret a spontaneous decision to be intentional in spending time with the people that you love. And if there's someone who hasn't reached out to you, someone you've not been connected to, even if it's just over a face time or a quick text, please don't take for granted that there will always be tomorrow or always be next week that they can still receive that message.-----------------------------------Dave's book Built Through Courage is available now!

Here is one from the archives. An amazing and very important conversation with Jeffrey Marsh.Ladies, Gentleman and Non-Binary folks, today we have a pretty special episode of Rise Together. Dave has a thoughtful, enlightening and informative discussion with non-binary activist, author and social media superstar, Jeffrey Marsh. They talk about how as humans, there is so much more that unites us rather than divides us and how they have dedicated their lives to stopping people from drowning in self hatred, and to instead accept all parts of themselves and understand that there is nothing wrong with them. Nothing at all.To follow Jeffrey click here, and to purchase their bestselling "How To Be You" click here!Let's Go!--Dave's book Built Through Courage is available now!

If you’re struggling with mental health or substances and need help, I hope there’s something in this that gives you the courage to ask for it. Getting help has been one of the most incredible experiences of my entire life, and has transformed any shame I’d carried into incredible power. I found an incredible resource in CAST Centers and my friend Coach Mike Bayer. He’s an incredible support and has an amazing team at castcenters.com (not a freaking ad) ready to help you take a step towards freedom. If not him and his team, please, I urge you, raise your hand if you’re drowning. Getting help isn’t a sign of weakness, but maybe the most significant show of strength.
