Mental Health & Individuality Can Bring Humanity Together?

Mental Health & Individuality Can Bring Humanity Together?

I am the founder of Stand Up Our Kids LLC, and soon the refined Podcast, School of Standing Up. I started these movements, roughly 3 years ago, with the idea that children should have the opportunity to…

As I have come out the other end of a mental health nightmare I’m starting to share the golden nuggets that allowed me to heal.

“Sitting still” Has Helped 6.5 Million Kids Get Diagnosed with ADHD

Right out the gates, let me state that I am not claiming that 6.5 million kids (5-17) have been diagnosed with ADHD because of sitting still. I am saying that the “sitting still” culture across our society over so many decades has helped pigeon hole many children into believing they have a neurological disorder, when they truly do not. “Sitting still” has stigmatized our children. We need a…

What The Hell Do You Want Out of Life? And Why Don’t You Have It Yet?

One day I looked down at my legs and I just couldn’t believe it. How the f*ck did I get here? It was one of the worst days of my life. I couldn’t stop going to the bathroom and I couldn’t breathe. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Yep, I woke up like that. By noon I had made a dozen trips to the bathroom and I couldn’t figure out how to get the silverback gorilla off my chest. Couldn’t breathe. My family just wanted to go…

About 1 in every 6 kids is at the obesity line. This is an unacceptable, 21st century truth. In our free world of abundance, we also have an abundance of unhealthy, overweight children.

I grew up in the same community as Mike in the 80’s and 90’s in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Mike Ficara is a former Teacher turned Entrepreneur. The story that helped Mike turn the corner from being an employee to a self employed entrepreneur is an absolutely crazy story. You could not make it up if you tried. 

Mike is a 21st century entrepreneur…
