you wanted it to be?"
Third Wednesday of Each Month!
Sallie and Conway Felton: “LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL”
A husband and wife’s personal journey through depression, support and transformation.
Depression can hit anyone at any age. It is insidious, it is weight crushing, hold paralyzing. Millions are afflicted by this disease. The secret is how one deals with it medically, holistically and spiritually. Their story is not unique; they have been living with depression for over 36 years. What is unique…this husband and wife team’s willingness to take the risk in having an open and ongoing conversation worldwide. "We have learned new tools, exercises and how to change our mindset that we wished we had known years ago. But it was not talked about back then. We want to share what we’ve learned, provide expert guests on our show and continue our learning journey with you our listeners. It is time to give back and help others out there suffering with depression. There is hope and light at the end of the tunnel."
Sallie, Life Coach and International Talk Radio Host and her husband, Conway, will broadcast a one hour show, the third Wednesday of each month, devoted to depression. “LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL” can be heard on Felton’s already popular show, “A Fresh Start”. Heard online around the World and in Seattle on 106.9 HD Channel 3, it is broadcasted through Contact Talk Radio, www.contacttalkradio.com.
Come join them by joining the chat room, listening in or calling in (877-230-3062) to share your stories….
How did this transpire? Conway states, “If Rem-Dog, Jerry Remey, (a former Red Sox player and Boston TV Sports Announcer) can share his personal journey, so can I. It’s time to put words to our stories and share. If just one person sees LIGHT at the end of the tunnel, I will have done my job.”
C. Conway Felton, III has 37 years experience in the insurance industry. He has served in the past on various educational boards, President and Treasurer for Children’s Alpine racing programs in New Hampshire, yacht racing sailing committee’s in Massachusetts Bay, and is currently a Trustee of Gould Academy in Bethel, Maine. He is an expert skier, experienced sailor, a competitive tennis player, and a father of 3 adult children.
Conway has suffered from depression his entire adult life. In the latter part of 2008 he found himself struggling to “find his voice”, losing his confidence and leaving outside interests. Sallie, his wife, has been by his side and these are their stories through all their ups and downs.
