Inspired Insights Podcast
Empowering Voices Across Generations
“Inspired Insights” is not just a podcast; it’s a community where empathy and understanding flourish, empowering listeners to embrace their truths and engage in open, honest dialogues about mental health.
Co-hosted by Chris, a 49-year-old gay man and clinical social worker with decades of experience in mental health advocacy, and Soren, a vibrant 17-year-old queer teen passionate about activism and change, this podcast is a tapestry of stories, strategies, and support. Each episode delves into the complexities of mental health and personal identities, offering a unique blend of professional insight and personal experience.
Join Chris and Soren as they explore the power of vulnerability, the importance of visibility, and the endless possibilities that come from genuinely listening to each other’s stories.
Successful Partnerships
Inspired Consulting Group has been fortunate to work with many wonderful organizations in our communities. Here’s what they had to say about our engagement.
“Professional development is integral and especially in areas of opportunity. The methods, consideration, expertise, and pure enjoyment of this work shines brightly as Chris McLaughlin engages, stirs up emotions and thoughts and comforts through his “Inspired Allies” training. The reflections open up thoughts and ideas allowing for unexpected growth. This has been a necessary journey allowing me to grow in enhancing my allyship with the LGBTQIA +community.”
Brooke Goodwin
Social Work Leader in Healthcare
“Chris helped navigate open and honest conversations to provide context and perspective for our team to understand the differences that can exist interpersonally inside and outside of the workplace. Our goal working with Chris was to educate our employees to improve their satisfaction and ability to work collaboratively recognizing the differences we all bring to the office. He did this in a welcoming and respectful way that elicited input across a range of opinions and backgrounds to our employees that work in five different states.”
