DOWN WITH DEDEE
DOWN WITH DEDEE came from Dedee’s deep desire to help others who are still struggling with any form of addiction, and even she is excited and surprised how it bloomed into many conversations about other important topics that she feels most will enjoy listening to. Her mission is to help chip away at the social stigma surrounding those with the disease of addiction in the hopes they will find it easier to ask for help/support. She also is aware of the stigma that surrounds those with paranormal/supernatural experiences, so by including this topic in her podcast and having open minded conversations about all that surrounds it, she hopes it will help more people come forward with their experiences. Because of Dedee’s Social Welfare background, she decided early on to open up the conversation to others who may not be affected by addiction but other social welfare concerns they might have. She calls her episodes various conversations, not interviews, because she wants listeners to feel part of the conversation. This podcast is solution-based and positive to help listeners lighten their day(s). Before the episode ends, Dedee asks if they believe in the paranormal/supernatural and what animal they would like to be reincarnated as... These questions are essential to Dedee because she firmly believes that all things are connected and that there’s more to life than meets the eye.

When Shon told me that he had these amazing 2 girls (Anna & Brittany) to help out with his new rehab and that they were going to be a huge part of the support their clients are going to receive through this added element of love/support… I was like “YES!!!!!

Rescue is about making families, helping families, and ...
On this episode Dedee, Lindsey, & Blaine discuss these three’s extreme passion for animal welfare, but from a solution based lens vs a problem based lens (just pointing fingers w/o any real ideas on how to fix things)! A MUST listen/watch episode if you love animals and need to know there are people out there not just ‘trying’, but actually making a difference with regards to helping those we love that have no voice: animals.
...On this episode Dedee and Todd discuss Todd’s concerns with the new generation of kids and their sense of entitlement. We talk about where that might have come from and how maybe the pandemic might have a play in on this? Did we go into the pandemic already with a group of entitled kids? What’s happening with our babies…..???

Grief may be her area of expertise, but being Dedee’s r...
