Follow Heather:

Bio:
Hutchison’s songs have always been rooted in the universal feelings of the human experience, from her latest single, Tough Luck, a fun and sassy dance pop empowerment anthem about finding your voice, to the quirky but serious synth-pop Lock the Door, about the time Hutchison spent in a secure psychiatric facility during COVID-19, to the understated strings and piano of If I Could, in which she speaks to her former self, as well as to the ones who have been lost to mental illness. Hutchison sings with the conviction of someone who has lived these experiences, and her crystal clear voice commands attention from the very first note. With captivating melodies and strikingly powerful, honest lyrics that stay with you long after the songs are over, Hutchison weaves achingly beautiful stories, offering her unique brand of realistic optimism to others who are struggling.

Blind since birth, music was an integral part of Hutchison's world from a young age. Growing up in Edmonton, Alberta, she spent much time in her early years making up melodies and figuring out songs by ear on the piano. She was exposed to a diverse array of artists from her parents' music collection such as Mariah Carey, Aretha Franklin, The Beatles, and Burton Cummings. She cites later musical influences including Sara Bareilles, Eva Cassidy, Donovan Woods, and City and Colour. Since her completion of a diploma in Jazz and Contemporary Voice in Vancouver, British Columbia, she has grown to incorporate some elements of jazz into her music. Latin influences are also evident in newer material, a product of time spent living in South America.

Her songs are not only a musical project for Hutchison, they are her life’s work. The themes of her music are the perfect soundtrack to her recently released Amazon best-selling memoir, Holding On by Letting Go. Hutchison is passionate about educating people on mental health and disability through her music and writing. She is a frequent guest on national television and radio programs and renowned podcasts across the globe, singing and speaking to bring her message of hope to those who are struggling. In her advocacy work, she has appeared alongside numerous high-profile psychologists, clinical counselors and other mental health professionals.

Since the release of her first EP of original material at only sixteen years of age, Hutchison has released four albums and numerous singles to critical acclaim and has performed in concert halls, theatres, clubs and outdoor stages from North to South America, with many performances broadcast on television and radio. Her singles have received frequent airplay across Canada and the US, and she has been a regional finalist in CBC’s Searchlight. Her single, Reason to Stay, won a 2016 Vancouver Island Music Award for pop recording of the year, and her album, Where the Ocean Meets the Sand, was nominated for album of the year at the VIMAs.

A versatile artist, Hutchison sings in both English and Spanish and can be seen performing her original material solo or with a band, as well as appearing with her jazz group, The Heather Hutchison Trio. With fans from around the world and the innate ability to connect with audiences young and old, the universality of Hutchison's message is clear

Interview w/ Doula & Energy Healer, Stephanie Lauredent-Diasio

Thu, 28 Apr 2022 04:00:00 +0000

Be sure to head over to YouTube to see their Rock, Paper, Scissors Matchup!

Host Tim McCarthy interviews w/ Stephanie Lauredent-Diasio, is a doula and energy healer. Tim learns what doula is and what goes behind it. Stephanie's career path and how it wasn't for her. They also talk about racism in the workplace and how she felt and dealt with it. This is a really interesting conversation & you're really going to enjoy it!

Stephanie found her way to energy and birthwork after having daily panic attacks while working in toxic environments that completely drained her. She got my Master’s in Business Administration and B.A in Journalism from Temple University in Philadelphia with the desire to change people’s lives and ended up working in the corporate world, while being completely miserable and feeling like she didn’t have a voice.

Stephanie was feeling tired as I fell asleep with my phone on my face. Overwhelmed as she kept forgetting to eat meals. Dry heaving every morning while receiving urgent work text messages and thought that she would always live that way because she didn’t know how to say no to others. And that’s when everything changed. After having a panic attack on a weekend while meditating, Stephanie decided that was the final straw and it was time to stop moving through life the way she was.

Through becoming a doula, certified meditation teacher, reiki practitioner, yoga instructor and life coach, Stephanie noticed a drastic decline in her anxiety and started to have more control over my life. She created SLD Wellness after she saw a need to support others in their quest to have the freedom to be in charge of their lives.

If you’re looking for birth support, resonate with Stephanie's story and want to regain control of your life, heal past traumas and wounds, and create epic boundaries…Book a FREE Doula Inquiry call to have an empowering birth your way.

Interview w/ Michelle Hammer [Schizophrenia Activist & Owner of Schizophrenic.NYC]

Fri, 25 Mar 2022 15:39:00 +0000

Michelle Hammer is a Schizophrenia Activist and spends her time passionately fighting stigma. She is an NYC native featured in the WebMD documentary Voices, which was nominated for a Tribeca X Award at the Tribeca Film Festival 2018. Michelle was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 22 after a misdiagnosis of bipolar at age 18. At 27, Michelle decided to use her artistic talents and fearless personality to do something that could benefit the mental health community. In May 2015, she founded a mental health-focused clothing brand. Schizophrenic.NYC is a clothing brand with the mission of reducing stigma by starting conversations about mental health. Michelle has also been featured in many publications such as Mashable, The Daily Mail, Stylist, and Buzzfeed.

Michele & Tim talk mental health, while Tim learns more about Schizophrenia and her apparel company. They both also break out their singing abilities to one of the "smartest songs of all time" - This was a really enjoyable interview & we hope you enjoy it

Schizophrenic.NYC was created, founded, & designed by Michelle, a Schizophrenic New Yorker who wants to make a difference in the way the mentally ill homeless are treated in NYC as well as change the way New Yorkers feel about mental illness. Usually, the Rorschach Test is plain black. When a person with schizophrenia looks at this test or just goes through life, things are seen from a different perspective. What Michelle did was by using my artwork in the test, she changed the colors and patterns so now everyone sees the test from a different perspective. This makes people think differently and starts a discussion. The more discussions about mental health we have, the less stigma there will be.

Interview w/ Chris Herren [Former NBA Player & Motivational Speaker]

Thu, 17 Mar 2022 04:00:00 +0000

Former NBA Player turned Motivational Speaker Chris Herren was gracious enough to talk with host Tim McCarthy of 20TIMinutes. Tim & Chris talk about Chris's addiction to drugs, how it ruined his playing career, his recovery which lead him to be a motivational speaker, the mission of ‘Herren Talks’, and the two also even talk little pro wrestling to wrap up the interview. This is a really fun and intriguing conversation! Be sure to watch the interview on YouTube, so you can witness their rock, paper, scissors matchup!

Chris Herren was a high school basketball legend from Fall River, Massachusetts, who scored over 2,000 career points while at Durfee High School and was named to the 1994 McDonald’s All-American team.

Starting his collegiate career at Boston College, Chris transferred to Fresno State after several failed drug tests, playing for legendary basketball coach Jerry Tarkanian, known for giving second chances to players. He was named to the All-WAC first team in 1996 and 1997 before announcing that he would need miss part of the 97-98 season to seek treatment for an ongoing struggle with substance use disorder.

Chris realized his lifelong dream of playing in the NBA when he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 1999, and then was traded to his hometown team, the Boston Celtics, in 2000. After suffering a season-ending injury as a Celtic, Herren went on to play in five countries including Italy, Poland, Turkey, China, and Iran.

With the unwavering support of his family and friends, Chris has been sober since August 1, 2008, and he now shares his story with the goal of making a positive difference in the lives of others.

His recovery journey has been documented in the bestselling memoir, Basketball Junkie, the Emmy-nominated ESPN Films documentary, Unguarded, and in countless local, national and international stories by The New York Times, The Boston Globe and Sports Illustrated, among others. Through Herren Talks, Chris has spoken to over 1 million students and community members, sparking honest discussions about substance use disorder and wellness.

In 2011, Chris grew his vision of support for others when he founded the nonprofit Herren Project. Through the organization, Chris and his team empower schools and communities to make healthy choices, while also guiding families through recovery. In 2018, Chris also founded Herren Wellness, a residential health and wellness program that helps guests lead healthy, substance-free lives.

With recognition ranging from the Boston Celtics’ Hero Among Us Award to the Faces and Voices of Recovery National Voice of Recovery Award, Chris’s incredible impact on his community continues to grow.

Interview w/ Holly Anne Mitchell

Thu, 21 Oct 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Holly Anne Mitchell is a CEO, Keynote Speaker, Self-Hypnosis Instructor, Performing Artist & recent Ted Talk Speaker.

Holly's story her real story was born from a dark place, when her and their business got seriously stuck. At 29 years old, she was unhealthy and unhappy, entangled in a relationship that drained her energy—so much that Holly was suffering from weekly panic attacks. Their business had plateaued—and profitability was declining. Holly was burned out, and spinning my wheels, without getting significant results. With a lot of hard work, do-it-yourself marketing, and a strong network of support, Holly helped Dr. Lhota grow his practice from $1 million to $8 million in 6 dental chairs.

In this interview Holly & Tim talk about her climb as receptionist to CEO, mental health within the dentistry professionals, her weird phobia of vomit & hypnosis talk.

Interview w/ Toby Pasman of Roscoe's Wetsuit Neuro

Thu, 23 Sep 2021 04:00:00 +0000

Tim interviews Toby Pasman as they talk about the mind, brain maps & how there are ways to rewire the brain. Super interesting stuff that was fun to learn!

Toby Pasman is a neurophysiology researcher who graduated from the University of Oregon in 2018 with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and completed his Master’s of Psychology through Lynn University in 2021. He worked on the Emotions and Neuroplasticity Project at the Brain Development Lab at his university, learning how emotions relate to changes in key brain networks.

Toby got curious about whether he could hack his own brain and began experimenting with neurotechnology including neurofeedback and neurostimulation to work on his own social anxiety. He noticed great improvements in his verbal fluency and ability to stay relaxed in social situations.

Toby began working at a peak performance facility outside of Seattle, Washington, training high profile CEOs, professional athletes, and Hollywood actors, who were looking to maximize their brain performance, recording QEEG brain maps and utilizing neurofeedback and neurostimulation technology.

Toby has since worked in the substance abuse and mental health fields, utilizing QEEG brain mapping, neurofeedback, neurostimulation, and PEMF therapy to treat patients clinically. He trained under Dr. Nicholas Dogris, CEO of Neurofield Neurotherapy, learning extensively about applying various forms of neurostimulation to enhance brain performance.

Toby is currently training to become an accredited human potential coach through the Human Potential Institute.

Interview w/ NFL Player Doug Middleton

Thu, 15 Apr 2021 04:00:00 +0000

Doug Middleton, graduate of Appalachian State & current Safety for the Jacksonville Jaguars, joins host Tim McCarthy on another episode of, 20TIMinutes.

Doug took time to sit down [virtually] with Tim to go over his organization Dream The Impossible. Which is to fix the lack of awareness surrounding Mental Health in the African American community. We know that a person’s mental health can be affected by many conditions and situations and it is our job as an organization to help find a bridge between that person’s current life and the resources they need to live a life they can be proud of.

Doug's friend AJ Morrison, suffered from severe depression for almost five years. Through many years of support, enough progress was not made to keep AJ alive. AJ's death sparked a fire in us to make people more aware of mental health issues and help them learn how to live an impactful life no matter what hurdles are placed in front of them. We aim to de-stigmatize mental health so that people don't feel as though something is wrong with them. Caring for your mental health is every bit as important as your physical well being.

In this episode Doug shares a story on how cut throat some NFL teams can be & Tim tries a new nickname for Doug, that he hope he likes!. Tim also asks what his go-to meal is at the Charlotte, NC fast food joint, the Cookout & what song he would choose as his personal entrance song. You don't want to miss this episode!
