What happens when the mental health system is quietly crumbling — and the woman holding it together has been doing so for 25 years? In episode 257 of Joy Found Here, Janelle Miller Moravek, Executive Director of Youth & Family Counseling, pulls back the curtain on America's behavioral health crisis — from a shrinking workforce and impossible pay rates to the hidden toll social media is taking on our kids. Hopeful yet eye-opening, this conversation is a reminder that access to mental health care is not a luxury.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

(3:54) How a French major stumbled into 25 years of nonprofit leadership

(7:49) Why loving your work makes it harder to switch off

(10:39) What nonprofit fundraising really looks like

(17:47) Why the mental health crisis didn't start with COVID

(20:05) The workforce shortage driving therapists out of behavioral healthcare

(22:57) How social media is rewiring kids' tolerance for discomfort

(30:16) The wrestling mat conversation that led to her son's ADHD diagnosis

(36:48) The "atlas" project helping people navigate to the right care

(38:22) Why one person getting help creates a community ripple effect

(39:30) What Medicaid rollbacks mean for mental health nonprofits in 2026

Janelle Miller Moravek is the Executive Director of Youth & Family Counseling (YFC), a nonprofit mental health organization serving Lake County in the Chicagoland area. A Wesleyan University graduate, she joined YFC in 2000 as its first-ever development director and has spent over two decades building it into a leading provider of affordable, accessible mental health services — including bilingual care and Medicaid-covered options — for children, teens, adults, and families.

In this episode, Janelle Miller Moravek brings 25 years of nonprofit leadership to a candid conversation about the growing gap between mental health need and workforce capacity — tracing the roots to chronically low reimbursement rates, a lengthy therapist training pipeline, and COVID-era burnout. She connects social media's rise to a surge in adolescent mental health struggles, shares a personal story about parenting a son with ADHD that deepened her advocacy, and makes the case for treating behavioral health literacy as common knowledge. She also introduces YFC's "atlas" project — a navigation tool to help people find the right care — while sounding an honest alarm about what Medicaid rollbacks could mean for organizations like hers in 2026.

What if the key to unlocking your biggest goals isn't willpower or grinding harder — but learning to speak the language of your own subconscious? In episode 256 of Joy Found Here, certified hypnotherapist and intuitive guide Lynnsey Robinson pulls back the curtain on why so many of us stay stuck despite wanting change, and what it actually takes to get your mind working for you. From demystifying hypnosis to explaining why your "I am" affirmations might be misfiring, Lynnsey makes the science of transformation feel genuinely exciting.

In This Episode, You Will Learn:

(04:38) Lynnsey's unconventional childhood and what drew her to the human mind

(07:45) The book that sparked her journey into hypnotherapy

(13:18) Her Human Design type and why it's a permission slip to be yourself

(16:02) The two suggestibility types and why they matter

(20:59) Why "I am" affirmations don't work for everyone — and what to say instead

(25:04) How Lynnsey discovered and claimed her intuitive gifts

(30:40) What spirits are really like and why you don't need to fear them

(33:34) Why we self-sabotage and what the subconscious is actually doing

(35:00) How hypnotherapy works and what happens in a trance-like state

(42:16) What a session with Lynnsey looks like and how to work with her

Lynnsey Robinson is a certified hypnotherapist, intuitive guide, and mindset coach who helps women rewire their subconscious minds to manifest with ease and align with their highest selves. Drawing on her background in behavioral science, EFT, human design, past life regression, and spiritual hypnosis, she works with clients exclusively online and is also the co-host of High Vibin' It, a weekly spiritual podcast.

In this episode, Lynnsey takes us from her unconventional childhood — growing up between a religious mother and an empathic, hippie father — to her winding path to becoming a hypnotherapist, sharing the pivotal "signs" that kept pointing her back to her calling. She demystifies hypnotherapy by breaking down the conscious vs. subconscious mind, explaining why we self-sabotage even our most wanted goals, and why cookie-cutter "I am" affirmations don't work for everyone — offering practical reframes that actually stick. She also opens up about claiming her intuitive gifts after years of fear, and closes with a synchronistic oracle card pull that ties the whole conversation together beautifully.

Kathleen Davenport is a military officer turned psychic guide and spiritual channel based on the shores of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. After a career spanning the military, corporate life, city government, and professional photography, she stepped fully into her lifelong gift of intuitive guidance — helping others find clarity through life's biggest transitions via one-on-one spiritual readings, intuitive mentorship, and her podcast, Finding Focus with Kathleen Davenport.

In this episode, Kathleen shares how she recognized her intuitive gifts early — channeling entire motivational talks with no script — and how Hawaii's spiritual culture deepened her ability to receive guidance. She reframes career detours, a failed political run, and even a hamstring injury as divine redirections, and reflects on a near-death health scare after childbirth as the wake-up call that taught her to slow down and listen. She walks listeners through her grounding rituals before readings, her private sessions and 60-day mentorship program, and a free downloadable guide on seven signs the universe is speaking to you — closing with a powerful reminder that your gifts, and your guides, are already there.
