Gloomy Days Hit Different When You're Depressed | Episode 472 A gloomy morning can feel like a weighted blanket you never asked for and no amount of “just get up” advice touches it. Justin Alan Hayes gets real about what it’s like to wake up on an overcast, rainy day with depression and seasonal affective disorder, when your body moves slower, your mind needs more time, and the world still expects the same pace. He shares a laugh-out-loud moment of being attacked by an energetic dog while try...

More People Die as You Get Older: Facing That Reality | Episode 471 Death does not wait for a “good time,” and grief does not follow a script. I sit down and speak plainly about what it feels like when more people start passing away as you get older, how losing a parent stays with you, and why those emotions can turn into real mental health challenges. If you are navigating bereavement, trauma, depression, anxiety, or addiction recovery, I want you to hear one clear message: you are not alone...

Months Into a Case and Still No Evidence | Episode 470 A lawsuit can say almost anything on paper. The hard part is proving it when someone is under oath and the details have to add up. We talk about the First Amendment, freedom of speech, and why I’m willing to speak publicly when the subject is my own livelihood and the people around me. I also share a blunt reality many listeners face in silence: if you’re paying for legal help and your attorney isn’t listening or acting on what you bring...

Exposing A Stephen D. Reimers Fundraising Fraud | Episode 469 Somebody asks you for money “for a creative project,” the logo looks real, the story sounds urgent, and the paperwork feels just official enough to quiet your doubts. That’s the moment we want you to pause. We talk with David and Amanda Solomon about what they allege happened around Mythical Creatures Around the World and related writing and publishing efforts: unpaid work, suspicious employment letters, “investment offers,” donat...

Stephen D. Reimers: Wage Theft & Fraud EXPOSED! (Ep. 468) Somebody can steal more than money. They can steal time, trust, and a name you worked years to build. We talk about what we describe as employee abuse with Stephen D Reimers as the supposed "Employer" through nonpayment, how “contracts” and job promises can be used to pressure people into unpaid labor, and why that crosses the line into fraud in our view, which is exactly what Stephen D Reimers has done. We also address the confus...

Legacy Thoughts | Episode 467 | What Will People Remember? Someday, a whole life gets squeezed into a few paragraphs and that fact can either haunt you or wake you up. We sit with that uncomfortable truth and talk about legacy in a way that has nothing to do with fame, mansions, or money, and everything to do with time, choices, and the people we touch along the way. A simple scene from a family movie sparks the core metaphor: exhibits come alive, but if they don’t make it back before mornin...

He Found a Six-Year-Old Who'd Never Slept in a Bed | Episode 466 A kid sleeping on the floor isn’t a sad metaphor, it’s a real crisis hiding in ordinary neighborhoods. I sit down with Luke Mickelson, the founder of Sleep In Heavenly Peace, to talk about the moment he learned children in his own small Idaho town had no beds and why that realization changed the direction of his life. What started as a simple garage build turned into a growing network of local chapters focused on one practical m...

Shannon Miller Talks 10 Years to Build 90 Sec & Salto | Ep 465 Ninety seconds on a balance beam can look like effortless perfection. Shannon Miller pulls back the curtain and shows what it really costs: ten years of 40-hour training weeks, the mental battle to stay steady under pressure, and the support of coaches, parents, and teammates who help carry the load behind the scenes. We also go to the moment her Olympic dream nearly ended. Ten weeks before Olympic Trials, Shannon breaks and ...

We’re recording “untitled” on purpose, because life doesn’t show up neatly labeled and neither do the moments that test us. We celebrate a major milestone for the Voices for Voices podcast and Voices for Voices TV: 461 episodes of conversations rooted in mental health, trauma recovery, and practical hope.

If His Lips Are Moving He Is Lying | Episode 462 Someone can use your name, your mission, and your audience as a shortcut to steal trust. That’s the uncomfortable reality we tackle as the Voices For Voices platform keeps growing worldwide. We start by grounding the conversation in why we built this show in the first place: to be a voice for ourselves and for others in need, and to talk openly about human topics like mental health, trauma, and healing. With more listeners comes more visibilit...

We get real about impatience, the kind that shows up when you’re building something meaningful and you want proof that it’s working right now. I’m Justin Alan Hayes, and I share what it feels like to carry a long-term mission through short-term frustration at Voices for Voices. We talk about the everyday triggers of impatience, then ...

Almost nobody sees the stress, the admin, the bills, and the repetition it takes to keep a mission driven podcast alive. We get real about what’s happening behind Voices for Voices, why the work can look easy from the outside, and what it actually costs in time, energy, and focus to publish consistently across platforms.

Your Body Isn't Lazy, It's Recovering | Episode 458 Some mornings, you wake up, sit down for a second, and suddenly you’re nodding off. It’s easy to blame your meds, blame your schedule, or blame yourself. I wanted to slow down and talk honestly about that foggy, confusing space where depression, fatigue, and sleep collide and where the world is quick to label people as “lazy” when something deeper may be going on. We dig into why extra sleep can be a form of mental health recovery, not a pe...

I talk about why the Voices for Voices TV show and podcast keeps moving, and why creating something meaningful with very little budget can still change lives.

We sit down with author and arts-community builder Marilyn Raichle, who watched both of her parents develop dementia and then discovered something most people never get to hear: a life with Alzheimer’s can still hold wit, warmth, and real connection when we...

We open by thanking the community that’s carried Voices for Voices to 1,000+ cities and 100+ countries, then draw a bright line: mental health first, politics out. That clarity keeps space for real stories about trauma and recovery while protecting listeners from bait-and-switch agendas. We walk through our gue...

We dive into that raw, familiar surge—the fear of being stared at—and unpack why our minds leap to judgment, how old wounds keep the script running, and what it takes to speak and act anyway. From quiet benches at the mall to tee boxes on a busy Saturday, Justin maps the everyday moments that trigger performance anxiety and the illusion that all eyes are fixed on us. We...
