Completing the has been a bucket list item for about 20 years when I first moved to Chicago and witnessed the sheer scope of it firsthand. So much energy– I wanted to be part of it. I’m elated that my first was in my second city.

Honestly, I had given up the idea until about 18 months ago when my son, Wynn Liam was born. His birth reignited a passion for endurance and longevity in me that motivated me to signup.

When I started running at the beginning of the year, I could barely run 3 miles. To have transformed my body these past 9 months in order to accomplish this goal took more sacrifice than I realized it would.

And it took a lot more time and resources than Lindsay had expected it would. I am grateful to her for her patience and understanding. And for surprising me at mile 18 with our son– it moved me to tears and gave me life to finish the run.

I am honored to have run alongside some incredible athletes and most generous humans on Team NoStigmas. Together, we have raised almost $30,000 to educate the public about and train advocates who are fighting stigmas and saving lives in their local communities. Thank you for your commitment, fortitude and perseverance as you have completed your own marathon journeys. 💚

To all of my training partners, coaches (even those I’ve not met, like & ), thank you for your advice, patience and slowing your pace so that I can keep up. To my cheerleaders (both virtual & on the streets of Chicago), you’ve helped me more than you know.

On the other side of 26.2, despite the blisters and chafing, pain from a partially torn meniscus, and with the tragic loss of my headphones + coaching program at mile 21, I am incredibly proud of this accomplishment.

I am now one of a million to have finished the Chicago Marathon. I have joined the one percenters to have run a marathon.

Now, into the ice bath and long-awaited Mai Tai with an umbrella. 🍹

Joining the trend with my ACTUAL 90’s yearbook photo ☠️

I look at this photo and don’t remember much of this time, just a general feeling of numbness.

Not many people knew at the time that I was actually super depressed and having nightly panic attacks back then.

Mental illness sometimes feels easier to hide than to face. But that led to suicidal thoughts for me.

Fortunately, my mom recognized what I was going through and saved my life by taking me to the doctor.

But it was a long journey to stability and even longer to thriving.

I’m grateful to have this photo as a reminder that someone can seem okay from the outside, but you may never fully know what’s going on inside.

Be kind. Ask if someone is ok. Know the signs of su***de. Reach out if you or someone you know needs support. NoStigmas Crisis Text Line 988 Su***de & Crisis Lifeline

Zero-tolerance messaging tuned out by most teenagers.

A new study from researchers at the University of British Columbia and University of Calgary found that when it comes to substance use, a harm reduction message resonated the most with teens, instead of the typical “don’t do drugs” talk.

The #1 lesson I’ve learned as a dad and social impact business leader so far…

👉 Modeling ideal behaviors is 1000x more effective than "telling" ideal behaviors. 👈

The days of getting away with “do as I say, not as I do” are over. Not only is that approach ineffective, the current culture and newer generations don’t buy it and won’t stand for it.

If you want to affect change or even just be taken seriously as a leader, you have to walk the walk and and be a living example of what you promote.

I’ve learned this the hard way. No, I’m not perfect at it, but my daily life looks pretty darn close to what I show you here.

And if this kid from the trailer park can overcome childhood trauma, poverty, ADHD, rage, depression & anxiety to create a positive impact, I believe that you can too.

Ready to stop WISHING that you’re the leader, partner, parent, mentor or advocate that you want to be and actual BECOME the best version of yourself?

‘Cause here’s the truth: betting on “someday” will only leave you with regrets in the end. And shaming yourself for not being there now only leads to more of the same.

Today is the only day that you have and you GET TO DECIDE what you do with your present circumstances.

The ability to model ideal behaviors begins with having a solid foundation of wellness. Designing a self-care plan that actually WORKS for your actual life is your first step.

provides the simple framework for you to customize your Wellness MAP along with the the tools and education to make it happen for you… for real this time.

DM me with MAP and I’ll share my #1 resource for designing a custom life strategy to guide you to becoming the stressed-less, cycle-breaking, wellness-having best version of yourself. 💚

"To have a period of time where you have less inspiration, less passion, less ideas, less energy is perfectly normal. A lot of times it syncs up with seasons or with hormones, or with life events. And that's okay. Take care of yourself and do what you can. Feel confident knowing that you've done the work already."

My mom with Wynn + my nieces & nephews

Wynn is so fortunate to have a mama who is self-aware, has done the tough work and understands how to create balance between nurturing and independence. He will grow up with zero doubts that he is fully loved and accepted for who he is without reservation. What a gift our son has received to have a living model of emotional validation, secure attachment and the love language of boundary-setting. I’m grateful for your leadership . Happy Mother’s Day!

Also, thanks for obliging my photo dump. I think this really encapsulates this mom-son relationship. 💚

💡 Friendly reminder...REST is not optional. It's essential for wellness. REST is integral to our ability to function and an essential time for our brains to regulate all of those important chemicals (adenosine, dopamine, acetylcholine, etc.) that keep our brain balanced and our anxiety in check. In addition, getting enough sleep helps control stress and the release of cortisol, which affects not only stress management but also our weight management and the way we age.

"Energy flows from intention." When we focus on channeling positive energy towards others, we tend to be less focused on our own issues and problems. GIVE helps elevate us out of the petty, menial and selfish tendencies we sometimes have. The more we focus on the needs of others, the more we understand how good our lives really are. Maintaining the intention of serving others will keep energy flowing in a positive direction. 🧘‍♀️

IT'S TIME FOR GREATNESS - NOT FOR GREED.
IT'S A TIME FOR IDEALISM - NOT IDEOLOGY.
IT IS A TIME NOT JUST FOR COMPASSIONATE WORDS, BUT COMPASSIONATE ACTION.
—MARIAN WRIGHT EDELMAN

Edit: “The journey is the destination [unless you don’t have a map, because then the journey just becomes about the anxiety of trying to orientate yourself on-the-go in an unknown land and the frustration of having to backtrack 10 times to find a path that actually gets to where you want to go and hopefully you haven’t fallen into ravine or run out gas 50 miles short of the nearest gas station or worse yet, become hangry because you’ve stumbled into a town where the idea of plant-based is a chef’s salad, because lettuce.]”

There, fixed it.

It’s the same when it comes to our health. Randomly trying to hit a moving target of wellness is not really going to get you there. You might get it right some of the time, but having a clear goal of wellness, and understanding how that's aligned with your personal values in life is how you're going to find sustainability.

🎉 Today we celebrate our Anniversary! 💚 For 16 years, our Founder Jacob Moore and thousands of Allies-in-Action have spoken up against stigma and shown up as peer advocates time and again. And officially as NoStigmas, since 2007, whether in-person or virtually, our network continues to grow and reach those who need a little more hope in their days. We are sincerely thankful for our champions of mental health equity for all. We thank our volunteers, collaborators, partners, donors, cheerleaders, and YOU.

2022 focused heavily on amplifying and lifting up the stories of lived experiences of those affected by mental illness and stigma. The year ahead will be all about mobilizing and empowering boots on the ground to continue stomping out stigma. From dinner table talks with close friends and family, to water cooler chats with colleagues, to sharing your story at your school or community organization, to passing interactions with complete strangers, each and every moment we have is a moment to connect, support, and show up for others.

This year, we are full-steam-ahead focused on reconnection and defeating isolation, knowing that peer support is arguably the #1 way we can ***de. Thank you for being a part of our NoStigmas network and thank you for speaking up against stigmas.

💚 It matters. YOU matter. 💪
