6 years after losing her teen daughter to suicide, an East Alabama mother is only ramping up her crusade to help save the lives of other students through their "Love Like Lexi" project, which is hosting a new event later this week. Check out her emotional, heartbreaking, inspiring story on this episode of "Run The Race," which you can subscribe to or follow for weekly wisdom and testimonies of faith and fitness.

(3:20) Andrea Mills' high school senior daughter took her own life on February 6, 2019. What prompted it may shock you. It was a wakeup call for this family...and a warning for so many others, before it's too late. It has to do with purpose, self-worth and empowerment for teenagers. 

(14:20) Andrea felt major guilt, but God kept her going...and seeing so many others with intrusive thoughts motivated her to go from grieving mom to advocate! Along with sharing their personal story, she has advice for other moms and dads about what to ask your teens and talk to them about. For the last 4 years, she has led a nonprofit named after their daughter where they talk about navigating mistakes/failures (that will happen) at many school assemblies, which have had 80,000 attendees so far, preparing young people and their parents for this fight! Suicide comes with stigma too, to even talk about, but Andrea says we have to use our voices for change.

(27:45) Faith is also a centerpiece in the story of Lexi and her family. So is spiritual warfare and people pouring into each other with encouragement (for outsiders and "comfort carriers" too). Andrea also explains the message behind the name "Love Like Lexi." (42:05) And this Thursday February 6, they'll be hosting the tri-city Live Project Crusade at Woodruff Park in Columbus with free food, new inspiring music, the Miracle Riders and other groups - all to help people out of the darkness. More info: https://lovelikelexi.networkforgood.com/events/76105-live-project-crusade.

(48:18) Andrew closes the episode out in Prayer for us. Thanks for listening to the #RunTheRace podcast! Also, write a quick review about it, on Apple podcasts. For more info and all past episodes, go to www.wtvm.com/podcast/.

The Faces Behind the Voice | Episode 195

In this week’s episode of The Rowbo Show, we dive into a topic that many people face but few openly talk about: the imaginary shame of unemployment. Join us as we challenge the negative stigma often attached to being between jobs and discuss why it’s essential to embrace this phase as part of the larger career journey. Unemployment isn’t a setback—it’s an opportunity. We explore the surprising benefits of this time off, from recharging your mental and emotional batteries to reevaluating your goals and passions. Whether you’ve recently lost a job or are simply in transition, we’ll share how to turn unemployment into a period of personal growth and renewal, so you’re better prepared for your next opportunity. Tune in for an uplifting conversation that reshapes how we think about this critical phase of life and encourages listeners to embrace the race, rather than fear it.

STIGMA:  w/XIORRO - UPGR8

In this episode of the Maslul Academy podcast, we reflect on Leviticus 13:45–46, where a person afflicted with tzara’at is cast outside the camp, forced to wear torn clothes and cry out “Unclean! Unclean!”

“They shall remain unclean as long as they have the affliction; they shall dwell alone; their dwelling shall be outside the camp.”

This powerful passage opens a conversation about ancient systems of exclusion and their echoes in today’s world. What does it mean to be marked as impure? How do stigma, marginalization, and public shame persist in our communities — especially for those living at the intersections of race, faith, illness, or identity?
Join us as we explore how sacred texts invite us not only to name exclusion, but to reimagine wholeness, reintegration, and radical belonging.


Outside the Camp Stigma, Isolation and the Call to Reimagine Belonging

Trump is pointing to Kilmar Abrego Garcia's tattoos to justify his indefinite detention without charge in the ultra-oppressive Salvadoran prison gulag. These notoriously include a cannabis leaf, demonstrating the continued propaganda utility of the "Reefer Madness" stigma, even as a multi-million dollar legal industry emerges. But the White House actually added the characters "MS13" (name of the notorious Salvadoran gang) to the shot of Abrego Garcia's knuckles in a crude photoshop job—despite transparent denials from Trump. Lubricating the emerging transnational mass detention program with this Orwellian post-truth stratagem, the Trump regime meanwhile moves toward actual deportation of US citizens. Bill Weinberg raises the alarm in Episode 277 of the CounterVortex podcast.

Alan Klap - stigma // Radio Edit

Een nummer over verborgen leed.

Stille Strijd

in een scheur van koud asfalt
groeit een bloem zonder naam
eenzame verscholen
eenvoudige genoeg
en razen de auto voorbij
zonder oog te hebben
door te denderen
je tril volhardt
je tril volhardt

wat sta je daar je daar, stil te staan
stil te staan stil te staan
mensen gaan door
door door

je groeit niet meer van applaus
niet van warm een gezicht
alleen is de strijd
is er nog hoop?
het bijltje dat hakt
het bijltje dat hakt
het bijltje dat hakt
het bijltje dat hakt

een stille strijd
die niemand ziet
niemand ziet
niemand hoort.
een stille strijd
die niemand ziet
niemand ziet
niemand hoort.

Stille strijd - Jonzin

This episode is an interview recorded during the PANSIG conference in May of 2025. In this recording, Robert Dykes of Sojo University interviews Alex Burke as she shares her journey from musician and civil servant to educator and researcher in Japan. Driven by her experience with dyslexia and neurodiversity, she highlights the power of assistive technology, inclusive teaching, and audio-based learning. 2024 JALT Mid-Career Scholar Award winner Burke advocates reducing stigma around neurodiversity and designing classrooms that support all learners naturally.

Enjoy the show.

Alex Burke interview by Robert Dykes at PANSIG 2025

When it comes to any large government program targeting health, social, and cultural issues, there are always concerns that the money won’t be spent well. The opioid settlements are no exception.  

So when a program involves multiple community partners, a transparent and collaborative decision-making process, and is based on the local data, the rate of success tends to be high.  

This is what makes Sumner County’s approach so remarkable. After finding out that Highpoint Health hospital alone received over 50% of all overdoses brought in by EMS, they hired a Substance Use & Recovery Navigator to join the emergency department and help connect overdose survivors with local resources and treatment. The program also includes funding to get people help at Volunteer Behavioral Health - located right across the street from the hospital - and a “Box of Hope” containing naloxone, an up-to-date local recovery resource guide, and other tools provided by the Sumner County Prevention Coalition.  And this is just a part of the county’s overall overdose response plan that they are funding with opioid settlement dollars. 

My guests this month are Justin Werlick, Substance Use & Recovery Navigator, Dr. Geoffrey Lifferth, Chief Medical Officer for Highpoint Health with Ascension Saint Thomas, Haylee Mcphearson-Bush, VP of Operations of the Middle/West regions for Volunteer Behavioral Health, Meagan Griffith, Director of the Sumner County Prevention Coalition, Charlotte Hollis of the Sumner County Health Department, and Dr. Dustin Owens, Grant Accountant for the Sumner County Budget Committee.  

In this episode we talk about how all of these vital partners were brought together, how concerns were addressed - including the fear of duplication or supplantation of existing services - and why they are working to make naloxone more available to the community than ever before. We also discuss the larger barriers that people needing recovery face, including not only the lack of connection between existing resources, but the gaps in healthcare coverage that keep people from getting the help they need.
