In this episode I talk to Dacia Moore about strategies leaders can do to care for their own well-being.
Introduction
Transforming lives through mental wellness and nonprofit leadership, Dacia L. Moore, MA, LPC, NCC has dedicated her career to breaking barriers in mental health access, particularly within the African American community. As the former Executive Director of a nonprofit, she orchestrated a remarkable 500% budget expansion while revolutionizing program delivery and donor engagement (10/2015-01/2024).
A dynamic speaker and mental health advocate, Dacia has captivated audiences nationwide, including the prestigious Harvard University Black Faculty and Staff Association. Her compelling insights and transformative message have resonated with diverse audiences across businesses, associations, and community organizations.
In 2003, Dacia founded Second Wind Counseling & Consulting, pioneering innovative approaches to mental health education and counseling. Her voice reached thousands through her radio show, Winds of Change, and her powerful segment, Mind Therapy Thursday, on Gospel 1590, KPRT, where she helped to destigmatize mental health care in underserved communities.
As a published author and former adjunct professor at Webster University and Penn Valley Community College, she continues to shape the next generation of mental health professionals. Her newest book, From Stuck to Unstoppable: 5 Strategies to Get Your Second Win, gives the reader actionable strategies to manage stress, upset and overwhelm.
Through her work, Dacia exemplifies the power of combining clinical expertise with compassionate leadership to create lasting change in mental health and community well-being.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
