Unstoppable Overcomers with Dorothy Graham O'Dell

Unstoppable Overcomers with Dorothy Graham O'Dell

May 24, 20231 min read

How Dorothy introduced me: Kicking off Mental Health Awareness Month with a powerful episode on men's mental health and vulnerability. And if you are a wife that wants to learn more about your man when he goes through his struggles, this episode is for you!

I would love for you to meet Mark Rothenburger, a firefighter/paramedic from Florida. Drew Deraney, a men's empowerment coach from New York; Andrew Maisonville, a chief and lifestyle coach, all the way from Windsor, ON and Jermaine Jackson, cancer thriver and transformation coach, from Windsor, ON

These four men share the mental health struggles they have faced, how they overcame them, and how as women, we can support our men when they encounter these struggles. 

 

Men have been told to suck it up or "man" up for decades, and it's time to stop this. Men's suicide rates have considerably increased, and we need to help our men just as much as we help our women. 

 

Let's be the change this world needs! 

 

One viewer commented: "Thank you Dorothy for introducing us to these amazing, strong men.  I loved so much of what Drew said but what especially stood out for me was the idea that bad things will happen it's inevitable and the most important part of that is that we have the ability to determine the meaning we put on those events.  I loved the concrete strategies he shared!  Replace regret with forgiveness, fear with desire and faith and victim mindset with gratitude. Men or women can benefit from listening to this amazing man!"

Welcome To Our Community


Hi, I'm Drew Deraney, the proud father of three, and for most of my life I was concerned with what people thought of me and how I was supposed to act.

In a 9-month span a few years ago, I endured four faith-shaking life events that caused me to question my existence. I realized it was a commonality for men to consider any challenge a weakness as well as to show emotion and ask for help. While writing my book, I realized I was not the only man suffering in silence.

I was determined to find a better way to live. With more clarity of purpose than ever, I began asking for help. Through intense self-reflection and awareness, I realized that in order to be happy, I must adhere to my standards of honesty, integrity and truth and needed to break free from the belief system that was anchored in me for close to 50 years.

Now a self-discovery coach, my men's group and coaching provide a safe space for men to learn to tap into their natural power through self-discovery to lead their life, write their story and live the life they want to live.

I was born in Brooklyn, NY and raised in Ho-Ho-Kus, NJ where I still live to this day caring for my elderly mom and my 3 adult children Matthew, Nicholas, and Emma. I earned my B.A. in Psychology, M.A. in Applied Psychology, and two psychology research publications while at Fairfield University; a scholarship from the Healthcare Financial Management Association; and my M.B.A. in Health Care Administration from Baruch College / Mount Sinai School of Medicine in NY. My hospital career spanned 24 years where I was co-chair of the Leadership Institute, spoke at JD Power, was one of three leaders interviewed by The Commonwealth Fund, received my Communicating with Empathy Trainer certification and is a Certified Patient Experience Professional. Four years ago, I founded Profit Compassion LLC, an entity to coach and empower mostly men to create resiliency and authenticity as Chief Resilience Officer. I am the podcast host of

‘From Caving in to Crushing It’

and recently became a best-selling author with my #1 International Best Selling book

‘I’ll Have What She’s Having’ - Memoir of a reformed People Pleaser.
