What would you have done had you won the recent massive lottery jackpot?  If you're Minnesotan, apparently the answer is "buy a cabin".  After that, you could spend the remanining several hundred million on mental health.  Or you could just come visit the FaceIt Foundation instead.  Andy did the latter, and his mental health journey began when he was seeing psychologists as a child.  He discovered FaceIt through a friend of a friend (who happened to be Mark Meier), but now you've discovered it through us.

Loneliness Chat - #48

Today there's no guest, and not only that, but Mark Meier couldn't make it in either. What a lonely show. And what a perfect time to talk about loneliness. It affects many, if not most, men. But people also have a hard time knowing what loneliness truly is. It's not just being alone. Learn the nuances and maybe make some new friends courtesy of the Face It Foundation.

When most people hear "bipolar", they think of a moody person.  Sometimes they're unusually happy, sometimes they're the opposite.  That's one of the reasons it can be so difficult to get people to take bipolar disorder seriously.  Mania is not happiness, and depression is not unhappiness.  Whereas happiness and unhappiness are normal, mania and depression are not, and they can mess your life up before you even realize it happened.  You're also usually the last person to know if you have either, so make sure and pay attention to what people have to say.

All About Us - #46

This is a show about interviewing men, talking about their struggles, and illuminating the path toward recovery.  At least, that's what it's usually about.  But today we decided to do something a little different.  We're talking about us.  How this podcast came to be, how Face It itself was founded, and a bit of background on each of the hosts.  We've gotten to know you over the years, now it's time to get to know us.

Horses need dentists too.  In fact, they have more numerous and much bigger teeth, so they arguably need them even more than we do.  Clint is one such dentist.  But just because he has the kind of job every 6 year old boy would want doesn't mean life is easy.  His upbringing was tough and he had a near death experience that haunted him for years.  The best he - and you - can do is to live in the moment, not the past.
