This installment of TMTO reports on a 2025 mission trip to Kenya by the Qumran Family Foundation (QFF), focusing on supporting widows and orphans through literacy and empowerment programs. It details the ministry's work, challenges faced, accomplishments, and future plans. · Ministry focus on Kenyan widows and orphans: QFF aims to break the cycle of poverty by providing literacy education and business/job skills to widows and supporting orphans lacking basic subsistence and educational opportunities. Kenyan widows face social isolation, abuse, and financial struggles, compounded by cultural restrictions and lack of government support. · Biblical foundation for the mission: The ministry is grounded in Torah commandments to care for widows and orphans, citing multiple scriptural references emphasizing justice, provision, and honor toward these groups. · Trip logistics and locations: The mission trip was planned starting December 2024, with travel from August 24 to November 20, 2025. Activities took place in Nairobi, Migori, Kehancha, and Kisii. · Organizational milestones: QFF became a registered non-profit/NGO in Kenya with an official tax identification (KRA PIN) in August 2025, enabling legal operations. · Educational achievements: Forty-one widows graduated from the basic literacy course with a formal ceremony in September 2025. A new widows' school was opened in Kisii with 16-20 students, and the Kehancha school relocated to begin Phase 2 classes teaching business and job skills to graduates. · Ministry outreach and baptisms: The team delivered the Gospel to Kuria Family Care Messianic Assembly, supporting 25 fatherless children, and baptized eight individuals including the pastor in November 2025. · Staffing and facilities: QFF opened an office in Migori Town in November 2025, employing four teachers, an office manager, and an operations assistant to support ongoing programs. · Challenges faced: The ministry encountered political unrest, widespread corruption, and the strong presence of Islam in Kenya, alongside spiritual opposition, requiring reliance on faith and careful verification in operations. · Future needs and plans: QFF seeks funding for teachers, classrooms in Kisumu and Migori, a vehicle, support for Kuria Care orphans and widows, and ongoing operational costs. Planned 2026 goals include expanding literacy classes, graduating new classes, and continuing mission trips. Donations and support are encouraged via qumranfamilyfoundation.org.

Episode 388: What Am I Made For? INTRODUCTION EPISODE NOTES I did it! I am excited to share with you the introduction to “What Am I Made For? Incubate and Birth Big and Little Ideas.” The book will be available in the first quarter of 2026. My marketing team at Manuscripts.com is working on book covers. Which book cover above best matches the book title? You can respond to my post on LinkedIn. Here is an excerpt of the introduction. You can listen to the whole introduction in this podcast episode. “We all have ideas buzzing in our minds, like bees in a hive waiting to take flight. Most of those ideas remain in the hive and never get implemented, despite the best intentions. One of the biggest roadblocks is us. We often deviate from the natural flow of life and spend too much time in storms of chaos and rigidity without integrating our experiences.1 In other words, we sabotage our progress. There are other ways ideas get tanked, which I will address later, but the most significant outlier is us. The first point of contact with an idea is in our mind. Once conceived, our actions, decisions, and behaviors are the primary factors that affect the outcome of our ideas, before external factors have a significant influence. Knowing we sabotage our progress begs me to ask a few questions.2 What if you knew you were born to incubate and give birth to new ideas? Would you be more likely to implement your ideas and commit to self-growth? Would you spend less time on the banks of chaos and rigidity, struggling to swim upstream, and more time riding with the current in the flow of life, refining ideas that work? Would you be less likely to rain on someone else's parade of ideas? If you answer yes to all the questions, this book is for you. If your answers varied, this book is still for you. I want to help expand your capacity to incubate and bring to life a wide range of ideas, both big and small. With effort, you can become proficient in generating, refining, and implementing ideas. If we work together and understand how to support each other during the birthing process, as midwives do, we not only enhance our sense of worthiness, well-being, and prosperity but also can significantly improve our troubled world. We need more of us to implement ideas from the inside out and the outside in.” I would like you to listen to the complete introduction HERE. DOWNLOAD Episode Resources Presale Book Campaign What Am I Made For? Podcast Episode Frank Ostaseski, The Five Intentions NEXT STEP: Challenge yourself and do the three Conscious Attentive Leadership Mentoring (C.A.L.M.) Activities, below. Conscious Attentive Leadership Mentoring After listening, do these three C.A.L.M. Activities: 1. Take this risk or do this adventurous task: Listen to the introduction to “What Am I Made For? Incubate and Birth Big and Little Ideas.” 2. Apply Self-Compassion: Try this Metta Meditation exercise again from Frank Ostaseski. He suggests doing this meditation after you meet someone new. Sit quietly. Take a moment to pause and tune into your feelings. Allow the person you just met to appear in your mind. Once you finish saying the meditation aloud, sit quietly and send loving kindness to this person. Then, observe how you feel after generating loving kindness. “This person has a body, heart, and mind, just like me. This person worries and gets frightened, just like me. This person is trying their best to navigate life, just like me. This person is a fellow human being, just like me. Allow some benevolent wishes for well-being to arise: May this person have the strength and support to face the difficulties in life. May this person be free from suffering and its causes. May this person be peaceful and happy. May this person be loved.” (2017, The Five Invitations: Discovering What Death Can Teach Us About Living Fully, p. 168) 3. Welcome Appreciation: “I appreciate you. Thank you in advance for listening to my book introduction. Writing is a true labor of love. I appreciate the team at Manuscripts Press. They are remarkably skilled editors, teachers, coaches, and marketers. I am grateful for this year-and-a-half-long process to get published. The hybrid route is more labor-intensive, but worth it to retain my creative rights. I am grateful to beta readers: Matthew, Olivia, Gordon, Jan, Deb, and Drew. Your insights made this book better. I appreciate every backer who has supported me thus far. Without this small village, I would not have reached the finish line. Your dreams are worth pursuing, and I can attest to the benefits of launching new ideas. I have never received this much support ever in my life. I appreciate how I have changed. My heart has expanded. I am grateful for this experience, and am eager to meet the readers of my book in 2026.” It's your turn. Start with, “I appreciate what I learned from today’s Mentor, Nancy Meyer. I appreciate this week's adventurous task because…” “Most of the problems in our lives and world are caused by relational dysfunction, a dysfunction in how we relate: as social groups, as individuals, to animals and the environment, and even to ourselves. Therefore, developing relational literacy—the understanding of and ability to practice healthy ways of relating—is essential for personal, social, and ecological transformation.” —Melanie Joy, psychologist, author, theorist, educator When WeMentor… your life becomes more meaningful!!! Redefine how you lead while redesigning your business. Dual Innovation Leadership WORKS. Entrenovation Mentor Nancy Meyer, MA Business and Life Mentor | Podcaster | Author | Mindfulness Yogi and Meditation Integrator I integrate mindfulness yoga into everything because breathing, meditation, and movement are essential as you change your life and how you lead. I have a compassionate, collaborative approach that reinforces resilience and maintains accountable conversations supporting your evolution. Bottom Line: My top priority is your transformation and creating a meaningful life through business ownership. You will learn new skills, practice, evolve, innovate, expand marketing efforts, and prosper financially. We start with your desire to develop as a leader. To give you more background, I founded WeMentor, inc. in 1992 to promote Dual Innovation Leadership, the ability to evolve how you lead as you redesign your business model. To grow our businesses, we must lead differently when our perspective shifts. The thousands of brave leaders I have mentored succeeded by taking charge of how they evolved and learned how to respond to the unpredictable nature of business ownership by innovating on purpose (asserting self-leadership). When your perspective shifts, your intuition nudges you into a growth process so you can learn how to lead differently. As you practice new ways of leading, you notice ways to change your business. It is like remodeling. We start with a plan when we embark on a remodeling project. When we implement the plan, obstacles challenge us to adjust our mindset, gather further information, and brainstorm other options. Adapting the plan to fit our new reality is part of every remodeling project. Budgets always need adjusting, and we need to update our approach to complete the innovation. What I love about renovating our businesses is that new ideas emerge, and the project usually has an even better result. We feel changed through the process and have learned many details about remodeling that we can apply in our next project. HEAR why I am doing this podcast and subscribe HERE. Get inspired with resources and tools to support your transformation. We post new conversations regularly! You can also binge and listen to prior podcast conversations. Another thing to know about Dual Innovation Leadership is that you can rebound and recover from trauma, distractions, destructive habits, thoughtlessness, confusion, pointlessness, helplessness, overwork, stress, and suffering as you transform how you lead. Integrating our experiences is exhilarating as we evolve how we lead and redesign our lifework. Take the opportunity to change. Assert the next phase of self-leadership development, contact me.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad Presence in Syria and Iranian Ties — John Batchelor, Bill Roggio, Akmed Sharawari — Sharawari documents that Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) maintains operational presence in Syria, conducting activities from refugee camps adjacent to Damascus, maintaining historical organizational relationships with the Assadregime structure. Roggio emphasizes that PIJ functions as a crucial Iranian proxy organization, receiving weapons, financial resources, and operational guidance from Tehran's security apparatus. Batchelor notes that although PIJ was a major participant in the October 7th attacks on Israel, Shara's current government is reluctant to provide full institutional sponsorship due to significant associated political and security risks from Israeli retaliation. 1920 DAMASCUS
Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. Happy December. This is a fun but busy time of year as the semester wraps up and the holidays approach. Even if you are not teaching full lessons or running small groups this month, you will likely still have drop-in students who need support. December is a great time to add a seasonal twist to your counseling activities, and today I am sharing my favorite ideas to help you stay engaged, organized, and prepared. Countdown to Winter Break One of my favorite activities this month is a Countdown to Winter Break inspired by a childhood Advent calendar. This activity includes 20 different SEL tasks your students can complete as they count down to the holiday break. It works well for individual counseling sessions and for students who stop by unexpectedly. The variety of activities keeps students engaged and gives you structured tools to support them during an otherwise unpredictable month. Host a Counseling Holiday Party A Counseling Holiday Party is a fun and meaningful way to wrap up your small groups. Think of it like a celebration or graduation with a seasonal theme. You can schedule an all-day event where students who have participated in counseling throughout the semester come in for games, crafts, and connection. This creates a positive and memorable experience while highlighting the progress they have made. Data Check-Up December is also a helpful time to complete a mid-year data check-up. This allows you to review the students you have served, the lessons you have taught, and the progress that has been made so far. A mid-year check-up helps you advocate for your position, strengthens your end-of-year reporting, and gives you valuable insight as you plan for next semester. You can also display some of this information on a data wall so stakeholders can easily see the impact of your program. Self-Care Tips for the New Year As the semester winds down, it is important to reflect on your well-being. Here are a few simple strategies to help you feel more grounded and supported heading into January: Conduct a time audit to see how you are spending the minutes of your workday. This helps you identify where to add buffers so you feel less rushed and overwhelmed. Outsource tasks when possible. If you have an intern or student ambassadors, allow them to help with responsibilities and lighten your load. Join IMPACT, my school counseling membership program, to access resources, professional development, and ongoing support that help reduce stress and streamline your program.

Description: Psoriatic disease affects far more than just the skin. Hear leading dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong and Dr. Benoît Guérrette discuss this and more with Jensen, a patient advocate. Psoriatic disease affects not only the skin but it can impact confidence, emotional and social well-being, and daily life. In this episode, join moderator Dr. Guy Eakin, Chief Scientific and Medical Officer at NPF, as we explore the disconnect between clinical classifications of psoriasis and what patients experience in real-life with leading dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong, Dr. Benoît Guérrette, Vice President of Dermatology & Rheumatology at Takeda, and Jensen, a NPF patient advocate and former Lead Youth Ambassador. Listen as we address the need for a more nuanced approach to classifying disease severity that accounts for the holistic needs of psoriatic disease, as well as share insights into how advocacy and awareness can drive change in treatment access and care standards. The intent of this episode is to identify how clinical severity classifications of psoriasis are evolving to meet the needs of those who live with the disease and how that change impacts overall management. This episode is sponsored by Takeda. Timestamps: (0:00) Intro to Psoriasis Uncovered and guest welcome to dermatologist Dr. April Armstrong, Vice President of Takeda, Dr. Benoît Guérette, and patient advocate Jensen, who discuss the unmet needs of people with moderate psoriasis and how as a community we can better serve those living with the disease. 2:22 How health care providers and the biopharmaceutical industry are coming together to address systemic eligibility and the unmet needs of people living with psoriasis. 4:25 Quality of life should be included when assessing clinical severity in psoriasis and identification of appropriate treatment choices. 6:52 The impact of misdiagnosis, inappropriate treatment, and effect on high impact sites can be life- altering. 8:30 How appropriate treatment and knowledge can make all the difference when diagnosed with plaque psoriasis. 9:40 Views on the psoriasis disease classification system and how it's evolving to include real life impact from physical and emotional needs, to more personalized care for those living with psoriasis, even when small body surface areas are involved. Severity isn't defined by skin coverage alone. 12:38 What's needed to prioritize the care and outcomes of people living with psoriasis. 14:18 The future of management and care for psoriatic disease. 15:53 "My skin tells a story." Wisdom from what I wish I had known previously. 16:52 Moving closer to care that truly reflects the lives and needs of those who live with psoriasis. Key Takeaways: · Severity of psoriasis isn't defined by skin coverage or body surface area (BSA) alone. The impact on quality of life should also be considered in the assessment, selection of treatment, and management of the disease. · The psoriasis disease classification system is evolving to be more of a patient centered approach. Many clinicians are now using the International Psoriasis Council (IPC) or 2 bucket approach to identify whether someone should receive a topical or systemic treatment based on location and response to treatment, as well as impact on quality of life. · With continued research and development, the next 5 to 10 years could see a shift in effective treatment options while also treating sooner to initiate better outcomes for people living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Guest Bios: April Armstrong, M.D., M.P.H. is an internationally renowned dermatologist and clinical researcher who is a Professor and Chief of Dermatology at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) where she specializes in inflammatory skin diseases such as psoriasis, atopic dermatitis, and hidradenitis suppurativa (HS). Dr. Armstrong is also the Co-Director for Network Resources at the UCLA Clinical and Translational Research Institute. She has conducted over 150 clinical trials and published over 350 high impact articles in scientific journals. Dr. Armstrong holds multiple leadership positions including the immediate Past Chair of the National Psoriasis Foundation Medical Board, Co-President of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA), councilor for the International Psoriasis Council, and board member for the International Dermatology Outcome Measures and the American Academy of Dermatology. Benoît Guérette, Ph.D. is an accomplished leader in medical affairs with extensive experience across academia and the pharmaceutical industry. Since March 2025, Dr. Guérette has served as Vice President of Dermatology and Rheumatology US Medical Affairs at Takeda Pharmaceutical. Prior to joining Takeda, he held several strategic and leadership roles at various pharmaceutical companies, including overseeing clinical development, global and U.S. medical affairs, global access & pricing, translational sciences and more. Before transitioning to the industry, Dr. Guérette was an Associate Professor of Immunology at Laval University, leading research in cancer immunology. He holds a Ph.D. in Medicine, Microbiology, and Immunology from Laval University and completed postdoctoral studies in Inflammation and Immunology at Harvard Medical School. Jensen is a volunteer and former Lead Youth Ambassador for the National Psoriasis Foundation. Jensen developed psoriasis at age 7 but wasn't formally diagnosed until age 14 being misdiagnosed along the way, trying different management approaches that were ineffective. She was a competitive swimmer from elementary through high school and in the last 2 years of high school played lacrosse. Upon finishing high school she attended college becoming a registered nurse in an intensive care unit. Jensen wants "youth living with psoriatic disease to feel a community that is behind them and with them every step of the way. I really want to be able to make a difference in a way that would've helped me as a child when I was diagnosed."

In this episode of The Admittedly Podcast, host Thomas Caleel breaks down what freshmen (and their parents) should be thinking about as they wrap up their first semester of high school. From academic foundations to extracurricular exploration to strategic planning for summer, Thomas explains why the habits students build now will shape their options in junior and senior year — especially if they're aiming for selective or highly selective colleges. Rather than overwhelming families with long-term predictions, Thomas focuses on practical, immediate steps freshmen can take to stay on track, reduce future stress, and explore their interests with intention. Key Takeaways Academic Foundations Matter: Freshman year grades and mastery—not just passing—set the tone for your entire transcript. Weak foundations now become big problems in junior year. Teachers Should Know You: Asking questions, checking in after class, and building relationships early pays off later when rigor increases and recommendations matter. You Must Be Doing Something Outside of Class: Clubs, sports, jobs, community involvement—freshman year is about exploration, not perfection. But doing nothing is not an option. Summer Planning Starts Now: Applications for competitive or meaningful summer programs open between December and February. Freshmen need to be ahead of the curve, not scrambling in April. Choose Activities With Intention, Not Prestige: Freshman summer doesn't need to be fancy. Programs, jobs, volunteering, or personal projects all count—admissions officers care about why you did something and what you gained from it. Reading Is a Superpower: Regular reading builds critical thinking and reading speed, two skills that make a huge difference for future SAT/ACT prep and AP courses. Freshman year sets the foundation for high school. This episode walks you through how to self-assess, course-correct, and plan ahead without burning out or getting caught up in panic culture. Follow along on Instagram and TikTok @admittedlyco for more tips to stay ahead.

* You can get the sermon note sheet at: https://family-bible-church.org/2025Messages/25Nov30.pdf * Over the past couple of weeks we have considered the Priesthood of the Messiah. The authenticity of His Priesthood is critical for authoritativeness of His Propitiatory Sacrifice by which the New Covenant was established once for all. * Today, we begin considering the apex of this book. This is to which the author has been building. Messiah - God Incarnate - came to establish a New and Living Way through the Veil by offering Himself as the Perfect Sacrifice for our sins. * Today, we see that God had many different aspects of His redemptive plan working in harmony and pointing toward the ultimate payment for our sins! * Lord willing, next week we will consider the Presentation of the Ultimate Sacrifice. Then, in two weeks, consider in much greater detail the passage that we have been memorizing to consider the Pertinence of the Covenant in the Activities of the Church. * This message was presented by Bob Corbin on November 30, 2025 at Family Bible Church in Martinez, Georgia.

Last week I talked about marketing UX within your organization and how you can use internal marketing strategies to build awareness and executive support. This week, I want to dig into a more hands-on approach: getting your stakeholders directly involved in UX activities.If all my talk about guerrilla marketing and PR stunts felt a bit overwhelming, this is a simpler path. The more you can expose stakeholders and colleagues across the organization to real users, the more user-centered their thinking will become. It really is that simple.Why bother getting them involved?I know what you might be thinking. Do I really want stakeholders hovering around during user research? What if they derail everything with their opinions?Fair concerns. But here is what happens when you do invite them in.It builds support. The more stakeholders are involved, the more invested they become. And the more likely they are to support UX initiatives when it matters.It builds empathy. When stakeholders interact with users, even indirectly, they begin to empathize with their frustrations and genuinely want to improve the experience.It builds relationships. By involving your stakeholders, you get to better understand their motivations and needs. And what will actually influence them to be more user-centered.Start with the basicsAt the most basic level, you can get stakeholders trying UX activities themselves. Sit with them and let them experience what card sorting feels like. Or walk them through a usability test as an observer.Then you can teach them how to run these processes on their own. I have done this countless times, and watching someone run their first usability test is genuinely rewarding.While this may seem obvious, remember that we are looking at how to influence others and change the culture. Getting hands-on experience is powerful.Expose them to real usersOne technique I use constantly is recording sessions I run with users and then creating short videos afterwards.Low-light videos (sometimes called horror videos) are 90-second compilations of all the frustrations and irritations a user has had with an experience. Watching someone struggle, get confused, or openly curse at your interface is deeply uncomfortable. And deeply effective at building empathy.Highlight videos are the opposite. I use these when I want to show stakeholders how improvements we made to the system really do work. There is something very powerful about allowing stakeholders to see real users interacting with the system and actually succeeding.Both types of videos work because they make the user real. Not a persona slide or a data point, but an actual human being trying to get something done. Circulate these videos to stakeholders and watch how quickly conversations change.You can also invite stakeholders to attend live usability sessions. Provide lunch as an incentive. Steve Krug's book "Rocket Surgery Made Easy" describes a brilliant approach: run three morning usability testing sessions that stakeholders observe, followed by a lunch meeting where you brainstorm improvements based on what everyone just witnessed.Another option is including users in stakeholder workshops. Pay users to attend and provide their perspectives during planning sessions. This creates situations where stakeholders interact with customers in ways they may never have before.Think about it. Many people in organizations rarely have face-to-face time with customers. Marketers, senior executives, compliance officers, developers... they operate based on assumptions and secondhand information. Any direct exposure to users can fundamentally shift their thinking.Turn engagement into advocacyOnce stakeholders are interacting with users and believing in the process, they can become advocates. People who influence others in their departments and across the organization.Build communities of people who care about UX. Provide them with tools to promote it, such as branded materials or how-to guides they can share with their teams.And remember to reward their advocacy. Celebrate those who promote UX best practices. Invest time in making them feel valued. I try to publicly recognize people who are championing user-centered thinking, even in small ways. It reinforces the behavior and signals to others that this matters.In essence, we need to involve our colleagues across the organization to help them understand users and become user advocates. Getting people hands-on with real users changes everything.Next week, I will look at how to break down business silos that often hinder user experience and limit the kind of cultural change we have been discussing.

Most leaders plan their business year in detail—and wing their personal life.In this solo episode of Spartan Leadership, Josh Kosnick shares his annual planning playbook: how to set a 10-year “lighthouse” vision, reverse-engineer it into a 3-year picture, and then execute through focused 90-day sprints. He walks through the same process for your family life so you can stop drifting and start living on purpose.You'll learn why most New Year's resolutions fail, how to choose the one goal you'd be furious not to hit in 2026, and how mission and core values actually become filters for decisions—not just words on a wall.

FRANK KABATAS and EAST VILLAGE PIZZA'S SUCCESS JOURNEYFrank Kabatas, the owner of East Village Pizza in New York City, shared his journey from being born in Turkey to becoming a successful pizza maker in the United States.

Sat Dharam Kaur, co-founder of Compassionate Inquiry with Dr. Gabor Maté, spent years discovering something profound: each addiction points to a specific childhood trauma. Not random. Not a moral failing.In this Mind Architect episode, Sat Dharam Kaur reveals how she decoded Gabor Maté's therapeutic approach into Compassionate Inquiry—a method now taught to trauma therapists worldwide. She shares the hidden connection between what we're addicted to and what we experienced as children, along with the healing path that addresses addiction at its root.You'll discover why smoking addiction often traces back to loneliness, alcohol addiction to feeling unheard and work addiction to a core belief about worthiness. Sat Dharam Kaur explains the Compassionate Inquiry principles that allow healing without rescuing, the naturopathic protocols that rebalance brain chemistry and how Kundalini yoga activates the vagus nerve to support addiction recovery.This isn't about willpower or 12 steps. It's about understanding the pain behind addiction and addressing it.Her Beyond Addiction program integrates Compassionate Inquiry with 45 years of Kundalini yoga practice and naturopathic medicine. She's worked with Gabor Maté since 2009, transcribing hundreds of hours of his sessions to identify the patterns that make trauma healing possible.Whether you're working with addiction recovery, supporting someone you love, practicing as a therapist, or trying to understand your own patterns—this conversation offers clarity on the trauma-addiction connection and a path forward.BOOKS REFERENCED:In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts by Dr. Gabor MatéThe Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Breast CancerThe Complete Natural Medicine Guide to Women's HealthA Call to Women: A Healthy Breast Program and WorkbookPRACTICES & PROGRAMS:Compassionate Inquiry Training Beyond Addiction Program (16 modules: CI + Kundalini Yoga + Naturopathic Medicine)Kundalini Yoga on Sat Dharam Kaur's YouTube channelCompassionate Inquiry Romania → local training & communityTHERAPY MODALITIES MENTIONED:Compassionate Inquiry (CI)Internal Family Systems (IFS)Somatic Experiencing (SE)Kundalini YogaTHREE QUESTIONS FOR HEALING:What needs were unmet in your childhood?What emotion did you experience when that was happening?What did you believe about yourself?"(00:00:00) Intro""(00:04:56) The car accident, mom's alcoholism and aftermath""(00:09:12) From art and science to naturopathic medicine""(00:17:17) From reading the book to meeting Gabor""(00:21:09) Decoding Gabor's method by transcribing hundreds of hours""(00:22:41) Gabor: I don't know what I'm doing.

"Fibromyalgia can take a lot from us, but it doesn't have to take everything." - Tami Stackelhouse One of the hardest parts of living with fibromyalgia is how much joy can quietly disappear from your life. Activities you used to love start feeling out of reach and even simple things like going out with friends or spending time on a hobby can feel too draining. Over time, it's easy to lose sight of what brings you happiness when most of your energy is going toward managing your pain and getting through the day. But joy is not something you "earn" once you feel better. Joy is part of what helps you feel better. It plays an essential role in calming your nervous system, lowering pain levels, and helping your body shift out of constant survival mode. When fibromyalgia makes your world smaller, joy often feels like the first thing to go, but it's actually one of the most powerful tools you have for healing. The good news is that joy doesn't need to be big or complicated. It just needs to be intentional. In this episode, Tami walks you through her Joy List exercise, a simple and meaningful practice to help you identify personal sources of joy. She talks about how fibromyalgia can lead to a loss of hobbies, work, and social connection, the emotional weight that follows these changes, the biology of joy, how dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin support pain relief and healing, three reflective questions to help you rediscover what brings happiness and meaning, practical tips for creating your Joy List, why certain activities bring joy and how to adapt them in new ways, accepting that joy may look different now and that change is part of healing, focusing on the feeling of joy rather than trying to recreate past experiences, finding new forms of joy through creativity and flexibility, six simple ways to add joy into your daily life, reframing your understanding of joy as a muscle, why reconnecting with joy is crucial for managing fibromyalgia, why now is the best time to start or revisit your personal joy list, supportive resources you can utilize on your journey of rediscovering joy, knowing when to seek help from a coach or community, and more. Remember, the parts of you that feel lost are still there, waiting for you to reach for them again. Note: This episode is not meant to be medical advice. Every person and every situation is unique.
