Dear Family, is a love letter about our complicated families, parenting and achieving mental health- especially when mental illness runs in the family.
With one in four people suffering from some form of mental illness during their lifetime, and with suicide, depression, and anxiety on the rise, Dear Family, will have a lot to talk about.
Everyday people to experts in their mental wellness fields will offer insight and practical advice on how to overcome mental health obstacles. Solutions to difficult family issues will be discussed through eye-opening conversations.
Think of “Dear Family” as an intimate conversation you’d have when you confide in your sister or brother, or better yet, in your best friend, who we all know is your chosen family anyway.

Adam Kallen- Success Story Overcoming Addiction to Owning Hottest Motorcycle Apparel Brand & Hosting All-Men’s AA Meeting
Adam Kallen just happens to be my awesome brother, the perfect guest for a podcast about family and mental wellness. Adam was the handsome captain of the football team, varsity baseball star and scholar-athlete who had all the girls calling and all the boys wanting to befriend him. He was also hyperactive and an impulsive child who got suspended for fighting; his ADHD going undiagnosed. Adam’s self-medication led him down a dark path towards crystal meth addiction and homelessness.
I’m so happy to tell you Adam has been sober for 13 years and has never been happier or more mentally healthy. Today he hosts the most popular all-men's AA meetings in Brooklyn at JANE motorcycles, his super cool hybrid clothing brand, coffee, and motorcycle shop. Adam took his street-smart intelligence and tapped into his gifts by using his creative talents in marketing, fashion, design, and networking to build a successful business and loyal community. My brother is my inspiration and still the life of the party. Whereas he once was shady, like addicts tend to become when they lie or steal at all costs to get their drugs, he is now a person of great integrity and honor.
