In this heartfelt and thought-provoking podcast, we dive deep into the overlooked crisis of loneliness among the elderly. It's not just a lack of companionship—it's a profound emotional and spiritual deprivation that affects millions. In pt. 2 of this discussion, I explore the causes of social isolation in older adults, its profound impact on health and well-being, and the ways we can all make a difference. I also Welcomed, Liletta Harlem, the Executive Director of Dementia Caregiver Support Program to the show. Liletta shares her experience of caring for an aging parent and what that experience has been like, as she herself also navigates Loneliness due to life changes. Going from the child to the caregiver, can be a very taxing transition. Join us as we shed light on this hidden epidemic and explore how, together, we can restore warmth, meaning, and purpose to the lives of those who have given so much. Because loneliness in the elderly is more than just solitude; it's a poverty of the spirit. Let's start the conversation.

Queenie believes that we are not WHERE WE START...we are on a journey to GET THERE...a life course to our destiny. In this episode Queenie shares what it was like growing up in the last 80's during the crack epidemic and attending a middle school as a troubled youth. Queenie sits down with her mentor and P.E. Coach, Eric Tucker to discuss what it was like for him teaching during that time, as a black man and talented young educator at Spring Lake Junior High school, which sometimes felt like an inner city school. Coach Tucker was part of a 'TRIO' of educators who mentored Queenie and kept her on the right path, although she was oftentimes creating her own way.....Still Coach Tucker and two other educators never gave up on pouring into her and making sure that they too gave back to so many others. A little more about coach Tucker: After leaving Spring Lake Junior High School, Coach Tucker went on to touch the lives of so many students and teachers alike. Coach became a living legend at Fayetteville State University in the 90's. Coach Eric Tucker led Fayetteville State women's basketball from 1992-93 until 2008-09. The Broncos went on to three CIAA Championship appearances and five NCAA post-season berths. Within that time, FSU won (over) 300 games, a 2001 CIAA Championship, and five Southern Division titles. Coach Tucker earned two CIAA Coach of the Year honors in '93 and '94 and the conference named him the 2001 Tournament's “Most Outstanding Coach”. In Tucker's 17 seasons, FSU had a total of 19 All-CIAA student-athletes, 10 All-Tournament honorees, nine All-Rookie Team members, a Rookie of the Year, and a CIAA Tournament MVP. COACH TUCKER IS LEGENDARY! To learn more about the Premium Sea Moss Gel mentioned in the podcast please check out www.premiumseamossgel.com

In this episode I will share my deeper views on the Five Love Languages and how understanding the languages of your partner can enhance the love shared between you two. The five love languages are five different ways of expressing and receiving love: words of affirmation, quality time, receiving gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. Not everyone communicates love in the same way, and likewise, people have different ways they prefer to receive love. Let's sink into this discussion a bit further.

In this episode, Dr. Williams and Queenie discuss the importance of understanding ones Adverse Childhood Experiences score. What does it mean to have 4 out of 10 or 10 of 10? Tune in to discover more..... What are ACEs? The term “ACEs” is an acronym for Adverse Childhood Experiences. It originated in a groundbreaking study conducted in 1995 by the Centers for Disease Control and the Kaiser Permanente health care organization in California. In that study, “ACEs” referred to three specific kinds of adversity children faced in the home environment—various forms of physical and emotional abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction. There is a powerful, persistent correlation between the more ACEs experienced and the greater the chance of poor outcomes later in life, including dramatically increased risk of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, substance abuse, smoking, poor academic achievement, time out of work, and early death. https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/aces/index.html https://americanspcc.org/take-the-aces-quiz/ https://developingchild.harvard.edu/resources/aces-and-toxic-stress-frequently-asked-questions/ --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
