Podcast summary and Notes on "kathleenmyre"

It's My Life w/Kathleen Myre

Since we established this pod in 2019, Above Ground Podcast has dedicated the entire month of September to Suicide Prevention and Awareness month. We share stories of survival. Attempt survivors, loss survivors and the dedicated individuals who help those make sense of an event that many see as not making sense.

Our first guest this month is Kathleen Myre. Kathleen was a curator and editor for the I’m Possible Lemonade Stand 3 book. A series of books by Josh Rivedal (ep.144) and his I’m Possible Project. Kathleen became empowered to voice her truth after seeing Josh perform his one man show about depression and suicide.

Kathleen survived a suicide attempt and is using her pain for empowerment. Kathleen found so much benefit for writing her first story for the first Lemonade Stand, she wanted to continue being an advocate and become co-curator for Lemonade Stand 3.

Kathleen has worked with Carl Waggett (ep.114) on his Facebook Live show PTSD Bunker Gear for Your Brain. Another friend of Above Ground Podcast, Rob Learhen (ep.94) wrote his story for Kathleen’s curation.

Kathleen heralds the beach, writing , EMDR and therapy as tools for keeping her going. Kathleen’s family are her biggest supports and she loves riding on the back of her husband’s motorcycle.

Please order the Lemonade Stand 3 to read all the incredible stories of resilience and hope.

Tomorrow, Thursday September 8 at 6pm AGP will be set up at Spitzie’s Harley Davidson 1970 Central Ave. Albany, NY 12205. This is their Bike Night Finale with live music, food and Above Ground Podcast. Stop by and say hi to Tim!!!

Thanks for listening to Above Ground Podcast. Until next week get well, be safe , stay Above.

The Gospel According to Josh

The Gospel According to Josh is HOPE. Utilizing his many artistic talents to bring suicide prevention, mental health, storytelling and emotional intelligence to the masses. Changing the familial legacy he nearly chose to accept as his own. Josh is truly kicking his blue genes in the butt.

Josh shares with us the story of his abusive childhood and the legacy of suicide which both took his father and his grandfather. That legacy nearly became his.

Josh has wrote a one man play, Kicking My Blue Genes in the Butt. His memoir The Gospel According to Josh is based on that one man show. He is creator of the i'Mpossible Project which has released four book volumes of stories by others who have taken lemons and turned them into lemonade.
