Podcasts about advocates

Friends, we recognize and appreciate that so many of you come to us for our open, honest, and candid conversations week after week. After seeing the response Heather was receiving over on @theluckyfewoffical under a post that she wouldn't be celebrating an abled person asking a disabled person to prom, we knew this topic deserved another conversation. We also knew the conversation deserved to include a person with disabilities. Our producer and self-advocate Ashley Fraccalossi joins us for this candid conversation on honoring people with disabilities and when that line can get blurred or crossed. She helps break down with us what inspiration p*rn means in the disabled community, unconscious bias, and how her own experiences with disability have shaped her views on this topic. We're grateful to not only hear from her today, but to continue this important conversation with all of you. May we all continue to learn, listen, and grow from conversations like this together. --- SHOW NOTES We first talked about this topic on EP 169 The Harm in Using People with Disabilities As "Inspiration" in Clickbait Viral Videos Learn more about unconscious bias Watch Stella Young's Ted Talk Read Heather's blog post, “Why Kindness and Good Intentions Are Not Enough” DISCOUNT CODE Friends, grab your narrative shifting gear over on The Lucky Few Merch Shop and use code PODCAST for 10% off!

We the people have the power and strength of the nation in our hands. It is time to stand up for what is ours. We are at a critical junction in history. What sets a fire in your heart? How to rectifying flaws on a national scale. Stymied progress from those who claim to help. We must be committed to true ideals. Engaging in civil discourse should be routine. Being steadfast is key. Advocate daily for electoral reform. Motivation is like a purpose. What are the key points in a target population? Driving societal change thru collective action. Can you envision a different future? It's all a double edged sword. Pushing boundaries is uncomfortable. Hearings are token appeasements to placate the masses. Squirming and lying are on full display. Divide and conquer is used to divert attention. They love to humiliate. Bot networks are real. Rabbit holes rather than results. More J6 evil. Never harm the organization, like the FBI. The lack of accountability is frustrating. Remember, people have to be shown, not just told. By allowing things to happen, a story gets showcased for all to see.  Learn more about your ad choices.

A meditation about the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, our Advocate.

At the age of 101, my grandmother, Beverly's, dementia is really starting to show. I'm over at her house one day when her new social worker comes by. I hear him talking to one of her caregivers in the other room. She says to him, “Sometimes Beverly says she wants to go home. Yet, she's in her own home. So when Beverly says that, we just tell her, ‘You ARE home.' But it doesn't really register.” He responds, “Beverly is simply looking for a safe space. So rather than trying to battle with her, all you need to do is remind Beverly that she is 100% safe and everything is fine.” As I listen to this conversation, I find myself smiling and feeling happy that she has someone besides myself advocating for her... and someone helping the caregivers too, offering them a different perspective instead of telling them that they're doing it wrong. My guest today, Dr. Karen Federici, also advocates on behalf of others. She's an award-winning family physician and an expert in breastfeeding. In this episode of the Storytelling School Podcast, you'll hear all about her story on advocating for others and answers to questions like: How is your Talk enhanced when you use story versus when you don't? What role does storytelling play in the work that doctors do, and how can healthcare professionals integrate it into their own work? And what can you do to redirect the story you're hearing from those you serve in your profession to better help them? What you will learn in this episode: How a story not going to plan can set you up for a new (and even better) story How other people's unhelpful advice can hinder your emerging story Why sometimes the real story isn't where the main focus is Who is Dr. Federici? Inspired by her own experience as a new mother, Karen Federici, MD saw a genuine need for doctors who championed breastfeeding. So she became that doctor, leaving her career as an actuary behind. Now, she's an award-winning physician and breastfeeding expert.  Dr. Federici founded Family First, a practice centering around primary care for women and children and breastfeeding medicine, after completing her residency in 2006. Recently, she founded TeleLact which provides expert lactation support through telehealth to expand access to quality care for breastfeeding moms. Last year, she opened the first and only donor human milk dispensary in her region. As part of the Academy of Breastfeeding Medicine and with a certification in family medicine, Dr. Federici volunteers as a clinical preceptor, teaching breastfeeding medicine to students and fellow physicians. Not enough families have access to a doctor with knowledge on breastfeeding. So she likes to direct them to her TEDx Talk to help spread the word so that they can positively impact breastfeeding, advocate for themselves, and encourage their doctors to seek more education on the subject.

Take action on a local level by participating in beach cleanups, supporting local conservation organizations, and advocating for environmental protections in your community. Cutting Through the BS It is critical to pierce through the obfuscation and challenge manipulation tactics in environmental conversations, specifically addressing fallacies such as red herrings. By maintaining a keen awareness of these deceptive approaches and calling them out, individuals can ensure that conversations remain focused on the relevant issues, contributing to meaningful progress in combating climate change and protecting our oceans. In his podcast episode, Andrew Lewin emphasizes the importance of identifying and challenging the diversion tactics and fallacies used to sidetrack essential discussions about climate change and environmental conservation.

One might not inherently presume to put the words "Verizon" and "Healthcare" in sequential order, but that is precisely what Gary Lynch is here to talk about. The former 80s compute nerd, and professional strongman competitor is the Global Practice Lead for Verizon's Healthcare and Life Sciences Vertical. Proving that the communications giant is more than just cell phones, we talk about how the future of telehealth and rural health depends more on telecommunications infrastructure than we ever perceived. You'll also hear how Verizon implements health literacy and education initiatives nationwide with the most unlikely retail partners. That, and a healthy dose of 80s references.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Jn 16:5-11 - Jesus said to His disciples: "Now I am going to the One Who sent me, and not one of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' But because I told you this, grief has filled your hearts. But I tell you the truth, it is better for you that I go. For if I do not go, the Advocate will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you. And when He comes He will convict the world in regard to sin and righteousness and condemnation: sin, because they do not believe in Me; righteousness, because I am going to the Father and you will no longer see Me; condemnation, because the ruler of this world has been condemned."

Navigating the complex world of healthcare can be overwhelming, especially when you're faced with the task of advocating for your own needs. However, being an active participant in your healthcare decisions is essential for ensuring that you receive the best possible care. In this blog post, we will explore practical strategies and tips to help you effectively advocate for yourself in healthcare settings. Educate Yourself: The first step towards advocating for yourself is to become an informed patient. Take the time to research your medical condition or concern, understanding the available treatment options, potential risks, and alternatives. Reliable sources such as reputable medical websites, patient forums, and support groups can provide valuable insights. Armed with knowledge, you'll be better prepared to communicate and make decisions regarding your healthcare. Build a Strong Relationship with Your Healthcare Provider: Establishing a strong partnership with your healthcare provider is crucial. Actively engage in conversations, ask questions, and share your concerns openly. Remember, your doctor is there to help you, and effective communication is key to a successful healthcare journey. Be honest about your symptoms, medical history, and any lifestyle factors that may affect your health. This information will enable your healthcare provider to develop an accurate diagnosis and tailor a treatment plan specifically for you. Be Assertive and Clear: When advocating for yourself, it's essential to be assertive and communicate your needs clearly. Don't hesitate to ask for further clarification or request additional tests or referrals if necessary. Describe your symptoms accurately, including their severity, duration, and any triggers or patterns you've noticed. Avoid downplaying your concerns, as this may hinder the understanding of your healthcare provider. By expressing your needs confidently and concisely, you increase the likelihood of receiving appropriate care. Seek a Second Opinion: If you have doubts about a diagnosis, treatment plan, or surgery, don't hesitate to seek a second opinion. A fresh perspective from another qualified healthcare professional can provide valuable insights and help you make informed decisions. Requesting a second opinion is your right as a patient, and a reputable doctor will respect your choice. Keep Organized Records: Maintaining organized records is essential for effective self-advocacy. Keep a detailed record of your medical history, including diagnoses, medications, treatments, and any relevant test results. Bring these records to appointments and share them with your healthcare provider. Additionally, document all discussions, recommendations, and decisions made during your healthcare visits. These records will serve as a valuable reference and ensure continuity of care. Utilize Support Networks: Don't underestimate the power of support networks when advocating for yourself in healthcare. Reach out to family, friends, or patient advocacy organizations that can provide guidance and emotional support. Sometimes, having an advocate accompany you to appointments can help ensure that all your concerns are addressed and that you have a strong support system throughout your healthcare journey. Advocating for yourself in healthcare can be challenging, but it is essential to take an active role in your well-being. By educating yourself, building a strong relationship with your healthcare provider, being assertive, seeking second opinions, keeping organized records, and utilizing support networks, you can effectively advocate for your healthcare needs. Remember, your voice matters, and with the right strategies in place, you can navigate the healthcare system with confidence and ensure that you receive the care you deserve.

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Jn 15:26—16:4a - Jesus said to His disciples: "When the Advocate comes Whom I will send you from the Father, the Spirit of truth Who proceeds from the Father, He will testify to Me. And you also testify, because you have been with Me from the beginning. "I have told you this so that you may not fall away. They will expel you from the synagogues; in fact, the hour is coming when everyone who kills you will think he is offering worship to God. They will do this because they have not known either the Father or Me. I have told you this so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you."

The result was a domino effect leading her to become a social media influencer and mental health advocate. Here she sits down with Women on the Move host Sam Saperstein to talk about her journey. The decision to speak up It was during her sophomore year at USC that Victoria began struggling with the demands of being a high-level competitive athlete. “I was really struggling with my own mental health and just the intensity of the stressful environment that I was in competing at that level,” she tells Sam. “In going through that performance anxiety and a depressive episode, I kind of realized that if I'm feeling so alone, there's probably other athletes who are feeling alone.” She also realized that she wasn't hearing anyone else talk about the issue. Her solution was to talk honestly about it in a TED talk. “I just did not want someone else to kind of suffer in silence the way that I did,” she recalls. “So I gave that TED talk purely to come up on Google search and comfort someone else. It spiraled and it went viral in the athletic community.” Hurdles and the strategies that helped That TED talk catapulted Victoria to popularity, especially among athletes and coaches who started following her online and reaching out. In those early days, she says, her goal was for people to genuinely be able to validate themselves and know that it's okay to not be perfect or to experience failure or struggle. “I've literally never met a student athlete who said they got through four years of college athletics, no matter the division, no matter the sport, and said it was a breeze,” she says. “Everyone can relate to the struggle.” Victoria discusses the challenges that she typically sees people face when confronting mental health issues. One of the biggest ones, she says, is not understanding the change in mental health as it happens. “These things happen gradually,” she says. “You don't wake up one day in the midst of your depression, you slowly drop down to that place.” A second hurdle, she says, is the stigma around being worthy of getting help. As far as strategies and approaches that worked for her, Victoria says one of the main ones is therapy. “It's powerful to have an expert hear what you are going through and then kind of offer their advice and guidance.” If connecting with a therapist isn't an option, she says talking to a trusted friend or journaling can also help people handle their complicated emotions. Meditation is another strategy that Victoria says she finds helpful—and this doesn't have to be as scary as it might sound, she adds. “It can be as simple as 10 minutes without your phone in the morning sitting with yourself, maybe you're thinking a lot, listen to your thoughts and then you'll recognize, oh my gosh, my thoughts always take me to work,” she explains. “My thoughts always take me to the situation. I'm gonna try to bring 'em back here. That 10 minutes to slow down your entire day and just be with yourself. I think that that's powerful and I do that in the mornings.” The Hidden Opponent Soon after her TED talk went viral, Victoria created the Hidden Opponent, a nonprofit advocacy group focused on creating a platform and a community for athletes to discuss topics like mental health. “We highlight student athletes and their stories,” she tells Sam. “We give them a voice. We're always publishing and posting articles that the athletes have written about what they've been through. I remember feeling like, Where do you talk about this? Where do you say it? How's it gonna be received? And so we've created that safe space where athletes who do want to be vocal can be, [and] we educate the members of our community.” As far as ambition in her own life, Victoria says she's trying to manage it in a good way—in a relentless pursuit of helping herself rather than being perfect. “I definitely consider myself ambitious, consider myself a go-getter,” she says. “However, I do think that that ambition has become a default state of who I am and the default state being constantly better, constantly improved, constantly do more. And of course it serves you well when you can become successful and you can build something, and that's great. However, it doesn't allow you to ever turn off, reap the benefits or take a break or pause. And it's funny because my whole message started as it's okay not to be okay, take a break.”   Full transcript here

People speak from what they've seen in their life or what they've accepted as true. Being open-minded can be useful, but there are times when people share things that are true in their experience and not yours. This episode talks about why your best advocate is YOU. I recently went through a medical situation where I needed to self-advocate. It reminded me of the importance of advocating for yourself and how speaking up can shift the outcome. We don't have to take what the world hands to us. Honestly, we can choose what aligns to us over and over as we make a new path forward. I'm here to spend quality solo time with you for EP137's Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. Self-advocacy often starts from seeking to understand yourself. One of the best things about understanding yourself is that you build a storehouse of answers so you can design the best course of action for yourself. On our Wise Walk, I talk about why you are your best advocate. Even when you evolve and change your mind, your conscious intention to choose differently is self-advocacy. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions: Do you know yourself better than anyone? Do you take time to self-reflect and listen to your own heartbeat? Do you pursue your intuition with curiosity? If you recognize that you're constantly evolving, do you give yourself permission to choose again? Do you seek to understand yourself on a deeper level? As you identify your truths, are you communicating them to advocate for yourself? It's important to learn about yourself and practice making conscious decisions so it's easier to stay in alignment from moment to moment. As it becomes more natural, you'll find it easier to communicate your truth. Remember to stay true to yourself as you navigate the path towards your goals, your dreams, and your aligned life. Reflect on your truth with these Wise Walk questions: Are you taking time to self-reflect when something feels off? When you notice unalignment, do you take time to research what would be in better alignment with you? Join this inspiring community to uncover a new sense of freedom, and be sure to follow and review the True Stride podcast as we continue to exchange our light and Heart Value with each other.   In this episode: [00:23] - Welcome to the show! [01:26] - Do you seek to understand yourself on a deeper level? [03:27] - The more we practice the better we get. [05:30] - “I am the best advocate for myself.” [07:52] - Better late than never.

Many physicians today choose to pivot their careers and apply their clinical knowledge to the innovation and digital transformation side of healthcare. Dr. Rasu Shrestha was an early pioneer of this trend and as he explains, went from “the dark side of radiology to the dork side of informatics” more than two decades ago.In addition to spanning both technical and clinical roles, Dr. Shrestha brings a worldly view of medicine to his work as EVP and Chief Innovation and Commercialization Officer at Advocate Health. He attended college in Malaysia and medical school in India before becoming a visiting fellow in biomedical engineering at Imperial College London and a research fellow in informatics at the University of Southern California, where he also earned his MBA.Among many other positions, Dr. Shrestha also served as Chief Innovation Officer at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, and Chief Strategy and Transformation Officer at Atrium Health. After the December 2022 merger of Atrium Health and Advocate Aurora Health, Dr. Shrestha landed in his current role at the newly formed Advocate Health, now one of the nation's largest nonprofit health systems.In an earlier Healthcare is Hard episode, Scott Powder provided his perspective on the megamerger from the Advocate Aurora side. In this episode, Keith Figlioli talked to Dr. Shrestha to hear his perspective from the Atrium side, and his thoughts on many of the biggest topics driving healthcare transformation. Some of the issue they discussed include:Financial realities in the post-pandemic era. With health systems facing some of their worst financial years ever and confronting an urgent need to transform in fundamental ways, Dr. Shrestha shares his ideas about how they can think differently. He says health systems should move beyond the idea of coopetition to the notion of strategic partnerships done right. He urges health systems to embrace the headwinds and tailwinds of the of the pandemic, while staying grounded in their mission and the reality that the old way of doing things will no longer work.Examining AI with a critical eye. There's unprecedented excitement around artificial intelligence and generative language models like Chat GPT, but issues like hallucination bias raise serious concerns. As Dr. Shrestha explains, large language models do not really answer questions; they create responses that look like answers. These responses always sound authoritative, which means they always look right, even when they're wrong. While these technologies will undoubtedly have a role in the future of healthcare, they must be carefully examined and regulated first. Inoculating against the shiny object syndrome. Dr. Shrestha discusses how important it is to separate the hype from the hope in the era of AI and startups promising other breakthrough innovations. To remain grounded, he stays focused on three areas that he explains: moving from transactional to experiential, from a patient-centered to a person-centered approach, and from episodic care to always on 24/7 care.Realizing the benefits of scale. Despite a lot of M&A and market consolidation, Dr. Shrestha talks about how there hasn't been much success yet realizing the benefits of scale. He shares his thoughts on strategies for driving those benefits and creating value at Advocate Health, and the role innovative startups can play in that journey.To hear Keith and Dr. Shrestha talk about these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

GPs say it is virtually impossible to get patients referred for a publicly funded ADHD assessment - and a new survey backs that up. Anyone with suspected ADHD must get an inital assessment by a psychiatrist or clinical psycholgist, while the prescribing of ritalin and other ADHD drugs can only be made by a psychiatrist. General practitioners say they're frustrated and worried by the difficulty in getting patients a assessment in the public health system, and say even those who can pay privately or have insurance, have a long wait. ADHD New Zealand has surveyed its membership, which finds that people are waiting longer - both public and private, and that only a quarter of respondents are receiving support from a psychiatrist or psychologist. Of those waiting for support, a fifth just give up. Kathryn speaks with Chair of General Practice NZ, Dr Bryan Betty, and ADHD New Zealand's chair Darrin Bull.

Urged on by Planned Parenthood, legislatures and school boards across the country are adopting “National Sex Education Standards”—from kindergarten all the way through high school graduation. Advocates for the standards are quick to argue that kids need and deserve “comprehensive sex education” to make healthy decisions. But you rarely hear about what's actually in the curricula. There's a reason for that: The National Sex Education Standards are outrageously inappropriate, especially for children. We combed through all 76 pages so we can share with you why—and how—Planned Parenthood is grooming your kids.

Season TWO Episode TWENTY-TWO of the Your Story Our Fight® podcast welcomes Olga Lucia Torres. A few years after law school, Olga was diagnosed with lupus and eventually the doctors found she had 4 other autoimmune diseases. Olga's health has never stopped her from following her dreams and attending Cornell University and Georgetown University Law School on scholarships. In August of 2000, Olga went to the hospital for routine medical care. She was supposed to be discharged in 2 to 3 days. Instead Olga ended up in a coma and with an iatrogenic brain injury. It took six years of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, but Olga managed to volunteer again doing health care law. Olga was inspired to return to school in 2012 where she found the Narrative Medicine program at Columbia University and in 2014,  received a Master's in Science. She now teaches narrative medicine at the CUNY School of Medicine.
