Getting My Voice Back - How To Deal With Adult Bullying

3/15/2023
Mike discusses his 25 year friendship with an adult bully, and how it impacted his self confidence, self esteem, and personal relationships. This episode is a must listen if you feel you're being bullied by a close friend, because it actually happens and can impact many areas of your life. From Mike's desire to help others, to his spirituality, Mike's friend "Javier" would constantly take the opportunity whenever possible to insult him for the very qualities people loved about him. Words weren't enough with Javier and they were often accompanied by graphic images and videos of mutilated animals, filmed suicides, persons shot in the head... even threats of violence on occasion. Mike's desire to share his story comes from his personal belief that all life experiences have purpose, and perhaps he can prevent this from happening to others.

Homophobia In The Caribbean - Our Experience At Sonesta Resorts And More

7/19/2021
Homophobia in the Caribbean is still a very real thing despite the many advances we have experienced in the United States in recent years. Yet as recent as two weeks ago, at the Sonesta Beach Ocean Point resort in St. Maarten, Mike and his partner Eric experienced discrimination and homophobia, the result of interacting with other gay guests staying on the property while poolside. Accused of sneaking in others using non-existent video footage as proof, Mike and Eric had to defend themselves in the lobby of the Sonesta Resort to the dismay of others, while facing an additional $800+ in charges. Sadly, this isn't the first time Mike and Eric have experienced homophobic discrimination in the Caribbean, and during this episode, gay travelers are encouraged to research their Caribbean destinations prior to booking. Mike discusses this ongoing concern with 20 cruises under his belt as avid oceanic traveler. With important information for anyone that identifies as members of the LGBTQ+ community, this episode is a must listen if you're planning a vacation to this beautiful, but potentially dangerous part of the globe.
