    Student, Explorer, Living with OCD & In the Driver's Seat with JJ Kells, Rebroadcast: Be The Good with Kate

    Revisiting a beautiful episode focusing on the search for your passions while also working through mental health challenges. Today's guest is not a mental health practitioner, but rather someone who is going to therapy, working through each day, and sharing her struggles and triumphs with others along the way. It takes a lot of strength to do that, and she is helping others by finding ways to incorporate this information and encouragement into her life, in addition to finishing grad school and exploring what's next... JJ Kells comes to us today from Chicago, and while most of us get anxious about not knowing what's next, JJ adds a unique perspective: "I actually don't mind not knowing what's next." She calls herself a "wanderer", and indeed has already had such an interesting, varied life despite a young age. JJ has obsessive compulsive disorder, OCD, and she has worked so hard to ensure SHE runs her life, not it. "It's a part of my experience all day everyday," but listen to how JJ explains her journey discovering so much about herself,  therapy, tactics to cope with the stressors, and more. This month, we've been rebroadcasting episodes each Monday, while releasing new episodes on Fridays. Today's episode is a rebroadcast from June 2022. On Friday, you'll hear from Harry Duran of Podcast Junkies and overall fascinating human. -- **If you enjoyed this episode, please do subscribe and share on social, YouTube, and your favorite podcast platform.

    A Moment for the Theater Kid, with your host, Kate Cherichello Tente, Ep. 135

    It is rare for me to hop on the microphone without a guest, but when I feel pulled with something to share with you, I have to do it! So welcome back to Be The Good with Kate, today a short episode with what I hope is a message that sticks with you.  I may be preaching to the choir as they say, so if you, listener, are saying Yes! That’s correct! I know this already! Then perhaps forward to someone who might be able to use this as well, and let’s continue to work towards bringing the value of the arts to the forefront… Who are we talking about today?  Theater kids. When are we talking?  Childhood to start. How does theater play an important role?  Why does theater play an important role? Where? Well, my story starts in New Jersey and community theater…How about yours? Did you grow up belting every word of the Annie, Sound of Music, and Beauty and the Beast soundtracks?  Did you spend weekends memorizing dances and lines? Did you bond with amazing friends and families in the halls surrounding the auditorium? Are you still waiting for your chance to play Maria in Sound of Music somewhere, anywhere??  (That last one might just be me?) I hope you enjoy this brief episode but are also inspired by what it contains. The reminder, or perhaps realization, of all that the arts offer. It doesn’t mean we have to become professional actors (heck no!). It could mean becoming a successful mathematician. A chemist creating a new medicine. A teacher finding new ways to engage with students. A parent connecting with their child. Listen and let me know your thoughts. Thanks to all who find ways to support the arts and recognize the way it affects our lives. **It's your host, Kate Cherichello Tente, here -- Thanks for listening!
