I am on a healing journey, breaking cycles of toxic family patterns of mental, verbal, and emotional abuse that have plagued my family for generations. My children deserved better than what I got so I embarked on a path of healing, addressing the internal pain caused by the rage, fear, guilt, shame, rejection, manipulation, and neglect that I was raised with. This quest for authenticity and peace is an endless journey of discovery and recovery with no finish line. I hope my story, truth, humor and mistakes inspire others and that is why I am sharing my story.

Two crises. One overlooked solution.
60 million Americans struggle with mental health. 340,000 rescue dogs are euthanized every year. Both systems are overburdened, underperforming, and wildly expensive.

What if dogs—trained, matched, and integrated through Social Prescriptions—could help solve both?

The TH-CA Podcast explores how trained rescue dogs are a cost-effective, scalable, organic mental health intervention hiding in plain sight. These dogs aren’t just pets—they’re untapped resources for emotional support, social connection, and daily structure.

While the U.S. spends $282B/year on mental illness and $2B/year on shelter systems, TH-CA offers a third path:

✅ A natural, drug-free solution

✅ A second chance for rescue dogs

✅ A new model for care that’s community-backed and tech-powered

Through AI-driven matchmaking, targeted training, and real human-canine connection, we’re building a system that curbs crisis—not just treats symptoms.

Plus, go behind the scenes in “Real Life Business” segments to hear what it really takes to build a hybrid nonprofit-for-profit org from scratch—and disrupt two major industries along the way.

If you care about mental health, rescue dogs, or bold new ideas in public health, this podcast is for you.

Let’s flip the script. Let’s turn America’s Human-PILL Bond into a Human-CANINE Bond. 🐾

En podcast om når livet skjer. Når små og store kriser eller traumer endrer livet og fører til en annen vei enn den som var tenkt eller planlagt. En podcast om menneskers evne til tilpasning og tilhelning. En podcast om ekkoene fra fortiden og hvordan de påvirker nåtiden.

Marion Ørseng er psykologspesialist og har med seg en gjest i hver episode som deler raust av sin erfaring og/eller fagkunnskap. Sjekk @traumepsykologen i sosiale medier for mer informasjon

Målet med podcasten er å formidle kunnskap og fortelle historier om hvordan vi mennesker kan oppleve vonde hendelser, samtidig ha en enorm styrke til å leve med ekkoene fra fortiden.

Everyone deals with mental health at some point, and it can be a tricky thing to discuss, let alone live with.
Here, on Melancholy and Bacon, I jump headfirst into the topic of mental health with a little bit of humor and a whole lot of honesty.
I’m just an everyday guy talking about what should be an every day subject.
Things here are casual but candid, there won’t be any tiptoeing around topics. I will be openly discussing a subject that is often shuffled into the shadows and hopefully clearing away some of the fog around something so many live with.
I’ll be sharing personal experiences and stories, covering current beliefs in the field and a few of my own evolving hypothesis. Maybe, with a dash of luck and a lot of information, we can break down the stigmas surrounding mental health.
Whether you are struggling yourself or are simply curious to learn more, here you'll find open, honest, judgment-free conversation.
Tune in, grab a snack (if it's bacon, make sure you share), and let's navigate the ups and downs of mental health together. Your mental well-being matters, and I’m here to remind you that you're not alone.

I served with Essex Police for 30 years, a chapter of my life filled with both haunting memories and exhilarating moments. Throughout my career, I had the privilege of interviewing a number of high-profile suspects—each encounter a vivid snapshot of human nature, revealing both darkness and resilience. The aim of this podcast is to delve deeper into the lives of former members of the Police and Military from across the globe. This is not just a collection of stories; it's a tribute to the extraordinary journeys of these remarkable individuals, often overlooked but never forgotten. Our contributors hail from diverse backgrounds, each with a unique story etched into the fabric of history. Picture this: a soldier landing on the Normandy beaches, adrenaline pumping in a chaotic backdrop, recounting the camaraderie that emerged amidst the chaos. Or a military operative sharing a heart-stopping tale of survival after being shot by the Taliban, offering insights into not just the battles fought but the battles within. We’ll hear from the man who carried the radio at the 1966 World Cup Final, a moment that united a nation, and the manager of the mortuary following the devastating 7/7 bombings, who witnessed humanity at its most fragile. These men and women are heroes of our time, and their stories are committed to this podcast for eternity! But there is also a narrative of transition—stories that weave through the fabric of public service into new realms of entrepreneurship and creativity. From authors penning the tales of their experiences to innovators launching successful businesses, the contributions of Police and Military personnel extend far beyond their uniforms. They are not one-dimensional figures; they are multifaceted individuals, and you will be amazed at the diverse lives they lead following their honorable careers. With each episode, we aim to illuminate the profound impact these experiences have had on their paths. If you have a Police or Military background and would like to take part in this enriching journey, I invite you to connect with us. Please email [email protected]. Your story, like so many others, deserves a platform to be shared and celebrated. Join us as we explore courage, resilience, and the unbreakable human spirit, one story at a time. Together, we will honor these incredible journeys that shape not just the individuals but the very essence of our society.
