When you are struggling with any kind of emotion that doesn't feel good, or thoughts that don't feel good, you know that if you put the substance in your body, or this type of food, or this gambling, or this shopping or this, you know whatever sexual act, right, there's so many things that make us feel a certain way, but it's so temporary.
What happens when mental illness hits home? Randye Kaye, a motivational speaker and mental health advocate, knows all too well. In this episode of 'Emerge. Evolve. Lead.', host Maureen Ross Gemme chats with Randye about her journey raising a son diagnosed with schizophrenia. Randye's story isn't just about the challenges—it's about finding balance and thriving amidst them.
She talks candidly about her son Ben's struggle with schizophrenia, particularly a symptom called Anosognosia, which makes it hard for him to recognize his own condition. But it's not all doom and gloom; Randye also shares her path to self-care and the importance of setting boundaries for caregivers and family members. With a touch of humor and a lot of heart, she discusses how addiction and substance abuse can sometimes be temporary escapes from the harsh realities of mental illness.
Randye’s books, 'Happier Made Simple' and 'Ben Behind His Voices', offer more than just stories—they're packed with practical advice on mental health, recovery, and the power of positive thinking. Through her motivational speaking and advocacy work, Randye inspires listeners to embrace reality and self-acceptance as vital steps toward leadership and personal growth. Tune in to hear how you can support loved ones through their recovery journey while taking care of yourself.
