My friend Eamon took some time to chat in this episode about his journey starting his own aircraft management business and still being successful despite chronic muscle pain he experiences in his jaw, which requires regular treatments at the doctor. If you're interested in hearing about planes, starting a business, or the keys to success, this is the episode for you!"I've found that there's always different ways to do the same thing... being creative and resourceful with getting the same job done in different ways, or even maybe finding a different role that works better. ... There's almost always a way to figure something out."If you do struggle with a medical condition that affects your ability to do your job, Eamon suggests keeping an open line of communication with your employer that enables you both to work as a team to find the best solution for both parties. When it comes to success, Eamon thinks a healthy work/life balance is key. "You don't have to work 20 hours a day and not have friends or anything. You can still be... successful.""If you make good use of your time and can be proactive, and put in quality work here and there when you can, there's ample time to build something for yourself without the draining effort." We had so much fun recording this episode for you; we hope you enjoy!

On this episode of OverDUE, Emme chats with Rachel Richter Lordemann, president of the Williston Area Chamber of Commerce, about the importance of mental health resources in the workplace. With a business degree in Marketing and Management as well as a Master's in Public Administration in the works, Rachel has the education and experience to bring light to this much-needed conversation.  Today's discussion is geared toward both employers and employees with solutions presented for struggles in the workplace pertaining to mental health. Rachel says, "The most important thing I think... is for employers to treat mental health the same way physical health is treated." "Communicate the boundaries, the things that you need to work successfully.""If you want to retain employees, it's important to treat employees well to maintain that employee loyalty." For more information about mental health resources in North Dakota, visithttps://www.behavioralhealth.nd.gov/https://www.rtor.org/directory/mental-health-north-dakota/https://www.mhand.org/Resources for friends anywhere: U.S: https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org // 800-273-8255Crisis Text Line // Text HOME to:US and Canada: text 741741UK: text 85258 | Ireland: text 50808

In this episode, Emme chats with one of her fellow pageant queens, Grace, a graduate student, teacher, and overall powerhouse about her day-to-day life living with Behcet's Disease and hemophilia. Grace is able to be successful despite these health struggles and has managed to win several pageants, dig deeply into her graduate research, which has connects her North Dakota roots to her Lebanese heritage, and pursue her interest in history in general, a place where her diagnoses led her in the first place. Grace's advice? Don't let one bad day, flare-up, or inconvenience ruin the rest of your day, week, month, etc. Those struggles are temporary, and better things are to come.  YOU can be the catalyst for change that someone else might be waiting for.
