About The Outcasts: A Journey of Believing, Becoming, and Belonging

My name is JC (Jean Claude) Brooks, and my mission is to give a voice to those who have ever felt like they didn’t fit under a certain category… those who might feel like they “don’t belong.” From growing up as a young Haitian boy to being adopted as a teenager into a Caucasian family in America, this is my story of becoming. I look forward to introducing you to people like me, people unlike me, and people who are still figuring it out. We will also explore how you can help children who are in need of a forever home and the challenges that they face. I hope to take you deep into my journey and into the hearts of others while helping you continue to find yourself. Consider The Outcasts to be your safe space— a space where we will believe, become, and belong— together.

Mental Matters: Advocating for Mental Health in the Black Community & Living with Bipolar Disorder with George P Brooks

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1929291/open_sms] I was blessed to have the opportunity to have an honest and open conversation with mental health advocate, entrepreneur, and life coach George P Brooks.  George is the founder of METTA Association, a nonprofit organization committed to advocacy and awareness for decriminalizing and destigmatizing that which concerns mental illness.  After discovering his mental illness at a young age, George has dedicated his time to helping others get to the root of their mental illness and the ways that it can be treated.  George is also dedicated to advocating for healthy fatherhood and co-parenting while working with others through divorce trauma.  He is an advocate for mental health in the black community, and especially for black men.  George also has some intriguing plans in the works outside of his nonprofit work.  George's story and insight on mental illness is sure to bring new awareness and empathy to all.

Mental Matters: Working Through Trauma and Using Adversity to Make You Stronger with Zach Brooks

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1929291/open_sms] Trigger Warning: This episode contains content about suicide.  Today, I share an eye-opening interview with my brother, Zach Brooks.  Zach shares some major trauma that he has experienced and how he has taken his adversities and turned them into strength.  Zach unfortunately lost two of his dearest friends within months of each other, which brought on strong feelings and many questions.  When he went to take on some serious life changes, he experienced a few speed bumps along the way.    If you or someone you know are in crisis, call the U.S. National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a free, 24-hour hotline, at 1.800.273.8255.

Mental Matters: My Journey Through Therapy

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1929291/open_sms] We are back after taking some time to develop a new series: Mental Matters.  Throughout this series, I will be taking you into the minds and the hearts of people like you... people with unique stories, everyday battles, and accomplishments that have molded them into the individuals they are today.  Mental health has become near and dear to me as I have experienced my own journey through therapy, and I wanted to make this series one of knowledge and hope.  I look forward to sharing my story with therapy and others' mental health journeys as we unpack this series moving forward.  Thank you for your commitment to The Outcasts, and I am so glad to be back behind the mic sharing my truth.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
