July is Bebe Moore Campbell National Minority Mental Health Awareness Month was established in 2008. Each year millions of Americans face the reality of living with a mental health condition, but the correlation between chronic pain and mental health is often a conversation that we don't have concerning the two topics. According to Mayo Clinic, Chronic pain and mental health disorders are common in the general population, and epidemiological studies suggest a bidirectional relationship exists between these two conditions. Join us for a conversation with Dyyone Alberty and Linda Lewis Thomas, who will share their stories about living with the chronic pain of Fibromyalgia and Lupus. Not only will you hear their struggles but also their triumphs and tips on how you can assist persons with these debilitating illnesses.

Welcome to The SALT Talk, where we dive into meaningful conversations that challenge, uplift, and inspire. In this episode, we’re exploring three profound concepts: Peace, Freedom, and Stability—and how they intertwine with Service, Affirmation, and Love, anchored by Compassion and Transformation. We’ll break down these pillars and uncover how they help us build balanced, purposeful lives rooted in something greater.

As Season II of The SALT Talk with Jermine Alberty draws to a close, I’m honored to share a piece of the journey that started it all—my very first, never-before-released podcast episode. After sitting in the archives, this hidden gem is finally ready to see the light of day.

In this deeply moving and inspiring conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Hope Hyder for a reflection on life’s pivotal lessons.

Together, we explore the wisdom born from navigating challenges, the shared weight of personal trauma, and the transformative journey toward recovery. It’s a conversation laced with heartfelt laughter, honest vulnerability, and moments of profound healing.

Recorded in 2022, as the world cautiously stepped out of the shadows of the COVID-19 pandemic, this dialogue offers a lens into the resilience required to rebuild in times of uncertainty. Hope’s reflections on being "SALTY" in this world—Serving, Affirming, Loving, and Transforming—add even greater depth to this exchange, reminding us of the power of compassion and connection in the face of adversity.

This conversation wasn’t just a dialogue; it was a catalyst. It was the spark that inspired me to create The SALT Talk Podcast. Tune in to experience the raw authenticity of the moment that started it all and celebrate the journey of resilience and hope.

During this podcast, listeners were encouraged to call the Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Since then, the number has been simplified to 988, making it easier to access support. If you are feeling suicidal or need help, please don’t hesitate to reach out. You are not alone, and help is available.

Welcome to another episode of The SALT Talk with Jermine Alberty! We are thrilled you have joined us for this special episode on International Happiness Day!

Today, we’re talking about something that touches all of us—happiness. But more than just feeling good, we’re diving deep into the idea of having power over your happiness—how to attain it, sustain it, and protect it from the pressures of life and the expectations of others.

Happiness isn’t just about fleeting joy or temporary satisfaction—it’s about cultivating a deep sense of contentment and peace. But here’s the challenge: how often do we allow other people, secrets, or even the pressure to imitate others steal our happiness?

We are excited to explore this with two incredible friends and guests today:

• Rev. Janice Green, who will share profound insights about the emotional and spiritual burden of keeping secrets—and how that burden can weigh down our happiness.
• Rev. Antoine Roston Sr., who will speak to the importance of authenticity and how the temptation to imitate others can rob us of true joy and peace.
