About this listen

 Trust is the foundation of healing, but in many communities, that trust has been hard to find. Whether in the rural landscape of Delta County, Colorado, or the suburbs of Chicago, the challenges of mental health are universal—yet the way we talk about them needs to be real. Join Dr. Ray and Jean as they bring "Real Talk" to the table. With over 25 years of experience through Lighthouse Emotional Wellness and a deep-rooted commitment to the KBH Center in Delta, they are dismantling the "outsider" perspective and replacing it with a permanent seat at the table for your wellness. Each episode dives into the honest, often unspoken struggles of modern life: - Breaking the Stigma: Redefining mental health as community maintenance, not weakness. - Privacy & Safety: Addressing the unique concerns of seeking help in small towns and close-knit circles. - Rooted Support: Moving past transient care to build a legacy of healing that stays. This isn't just a clinical lecture; it's a conversation. It's about understanding that while our locations may be different, our need for connection, resilience, and healing is a shared journey. Welcome to the conversation. Welcome to our shared community.2026 Hygiene & Healthy Living Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Social Sciences

    Ep 02: Climbing Out — Strategies for When You're Feeling Low
    Feb 11 2026

    Have you felt a heavy, stagnant energy lately? You aren't alone. In this episode, we dive deep into the "energy hole"—that specific type of burnout and emotional slump that many in our Delta County community are navigating right now. Whether it's the mid-winter "Winter Wall," the stress of economic uncertainty, or just feeling stuck in a rut, we're sharing practical, actionable strategies to help you begin your ascent.

    Join us as we bridge the gap between acknowledging the struggle and finding the ladder. We also share a special look at how changing your environment—even virtually—can reset your internal compass.

    In this episode, you'll learn:

    • Identifying the Slump: How to tell the difference between a bad day and a deep "energy hole."

    • The Biological "Winter Wall": Understanding why February is physically and mentally draining.

    • Micro-Wins: The small, non-intimidating steps that actually spark momentum.

    • Mental Portability: How to "import" a sense of peace and horizon into your current environment.
