Podcast appearances and mentions of Amy Thompson

“I've realized that the only competition I really have is myself.” At just 18 years old, Amy Thompson is already rewriting the narrative of what it means to be an elite athlete. A British F41 shot putter gunning for the LA 2028 Paralympics, Amy is more than a powerhouse on the field—she's a fierce advocate, scientist-in-training, and pianist who refuses to be put in a box. She shares, “People with dwarfism are often boxed in just as they're seen as being incapable...Anyone with dwarfism has equal opportunity... to be whoever they want to be and do whatever they want to do.” Amy first discovered para sport through the Dwarf Sports Association at age 8 and won gold at her first international competition in Italy by 15. But the journey hasn't been easy. After losing her coach to cancer, she found a new calling: biomedical science, with aspirations to study oncology. “It was quite difficult, because he was the one that brought me to my first ever international competition...but I know I can move on.” In this episode, Amy opens up about battling media misrepresentation, reclaiming language around disability, and why young athletes should stop comparing themselves to others. “You've always got to know that they're not going to affect you as much as you can affect yourself.” From underfunded competitions to under-covered sports, Amy wants the world to stop underestimating para athletes. Her call to action? “Do your research. Learn about the athlete. We work just as hard—if not harder—than anyone else.” --------- Flame Bearers is a multi media movement, illuminating the unsung stories of elite women athletes from around the world.

Today, I am interviewing Amy Thompson. Amy was diagnosed with MS in 2018 and felt there was little representation and a lack of support specifically for young adults living with MS. On today's episode, we talk about her diagnosis, how MS Together came about, and what MS Together offers. Amy is a charity founder and CEO, winner of a National Diversity Award, a freelance content creator and a disability advocate. Amy was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2018 and felt there was little representation and a lack of support specifically for young adults living with MS, so in 2019, she founded MS Together, which started as a community organization but is now a UK-based charity. She featured in a number of charity campaigns and did media interviews to help raise awareness of MS.

Amy Thompson is a beloved Hoffman Teacher and Coach. In today's episode, she shares her story of recovery, losing her father, the grief she experienced from his loss, and her experience going through cancer treatment while training to become a Hoffman Process teacher. And, really, Amy shares so much more. Listen in as Amy shares about learning she was accepted into the Hoffman teacher training program at the same time she received her cancer diagnosis. She knew she needed to care for both her body and her spirit. With an assured Yes to both, Amy embarked on a powerful journey of healing all of her Quadrinity through chemotherapy infusions and the work of the Process. Amy and Drew talk about the need to be responsible for our lives. One beautiful thing Amy got from the Process was realizing that her patterns were the source of feeling over-responsible for everyone else. By transforming these patterns into a more positive way of being through her work at the Process, she reclaimed her power. With this power, found she could step more fully into what she calls intense self-responsibility for how she shows up in every moment. Amy says, "Hoffman, for me, was not the end of my journey but definitely a huge milestone in my own recovery, in my own kind of recognition for who I am and this whole being able to be a good human." Hoffman is a part of Amy's family. Many in her family have done the Process. Amy's mother-in-law, Nita Gage, is also a Hoffman Process teacher.

OH NO! Alice accidentally summoned the Jabberwock whose causing chaos across Wonderland. She's frantic to banish the bullying beast when the Cheshire Cat pops in to lend a tail. Can this feline mischief-maker help Alice and her friends find the way? Purrrhaps.

The main character, Alice, is experiencing overwhelming feelings of doubt, fear, and shame.

Rude! Ill-mannered! Uh oh! After only one night of their visit, Mr. Redge declares that his cozy, country inn experience is over for his city cousin, Rodge. It seems that these two are set on squabbling instead of enjoying their time together. Does Rodge really feel superior because he lives in Litropia and not the Folktale Forest? See how this tale of competing and comparisons turns into acts of mutual appreciation.PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This story was inspired by Aesop's fable, “The Town Mouse and the Country Mouse.” The narrative illustrates how easy it is to make the wrong assumptions about someone else's behavior, and how we can envy what others have instead of appreciating all the good things in our own lives.

As we begin another year of the “next normal, ”clubs are struggling to maintain their group fitness programming and their Group Fitness Instructors. During the pandemic, many fitness teachers and trainers were forced to go out on their own to offer classes in their backyards and basements or on virtual platforms. Other instructors left our industry altogether. Now that our fitness facilities have reopened, there has been a shortage of group ex instructors and lower group ex attendance. Both instructors and clubs are pushing to increase class turnout. Join our panel of experts for this special hour-long webinar as they examine the future of group exercise: the programs, the people, and the profits.

Quivering over almost losing his quills, he meets Acorn founder Beeve Hogs. Beeve tells him the story of King Midas and his love of gold, and the wizard that grants Midas' greedy wish. Will the story's unintended consequences touch Redge's heart and remind him what he should value the most?PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This story was inspired by the mythological story of King Midas and the Golden Touch.

It's aliiiive!! Deep in the Foreshadow, the ever-dark lands of Once Upon a Time, lived Hogenstein, the infamous warthog scientist who invented “It's Alive No. 5!” Using this freaky formula, a lightning rod and a fierce thunderstorm, he and his loyal lab assistant, Lugo the bat, brought a super creature to life. Muahahaha! But wait…that's not what's so terrifying about this tale—the scariest part is when the creature goes out into the world alone to face his fears.PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This is our reimagining of the classic, “Frankenstein,” where facing one's fears is scarier than a spooky story. In our version, the creature goes out into the world on his own, tries things he has never tried before, and has the courage to never give up. He kept trying his best, even when the townspeople judged him before he had the chance to show them his big heart. Go to the episode webpage: https://jonincharacter.com/hogenstein-a-halloween-tale/ For more Halloween listening, try Sleepy Hallow's Eve: https://jonincharacter.com/sleepy-hallows-eve/ FREE DORKTALES+ portal for access to use-your-imagination activities, cool conversation starters, social-emotional guides, themed playlists and more! jonincharacter.com/portalVisit the Dorktales Storytime Podcast website: https://jonincharacter.com/dorktales-storytime-podcast/FOLLOW US: Please follow us so future episodes will automatically show up in your podcast library.

We're so happy to be bringing you a story that Mr. Eric told along with our friend Jonathan Cormur on his podcast, Dorktales Storytime. Normally, we replay an old favorite once a month, so I hope you all enjoy this rare treat! Dorktales Storytime, hosted by voice actor Jonathan Cormur, is a podcast featuring slightly wacky and very geeky retellings of classic fairy tales with social-emotional lessons and the untold stories about the hidden heroes of history. The Story: It's the perfect day for pure play! Sherlock Nettlesbee, the great deducing squirrel detective, joins Jonathan and Mr. Redge in an afternoon of imagination and good old-fashioned make believe. When their cloud gazing doesn't cut it, Sherlock declares that “the Improv Game is afoot!” Can the trio find inspiration from Mary and her little lamb, Lula? Yes and…they're sure to find a whole-lotta playful, floofy fun everywhere they go! PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This story is about making time for imaginary play! Improvisation, or improv, is when you make up a story, or a scene, or a little bit of music on the spot. The ‘Yes And' game is when you listen to another person in your improv scene and agree with what they are saying—that's the ‘yes' part—and you use your own ideas to build on their thoughts—that's the ‘and' part. It's entertaining and very fun, plus it also encourages listening skills, collaboration and cooperation.

You can also keep in touch by subscribing to our mailing list.  Hope you enjoy this story as much as I enjoyed being part of it!  Peace out and peace within, Chanel  From the Dorktales Storytime Podcast show notes: Annoyed and anxious and angry, oh my! Looks like our friends from the Folktale Forest are on an emotional roller coaster, especially the Big Bad Wolf. He's so upset, he just wants to howl at the moon! Luckily, they encounter a caring capybara who patiently helps them sort through their big feelings and calm themselves down.

Two traveling dudes mindlessly meander down a path when they awaken ferocious O, a ginormous growling bear, from his peaceful slumber! Will these best bro buddies help each other to safety when the bear barrels towards them in full bluster? Or will one have to learn a righteous lesson about who he can truly count on when things get tough?PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This is our reimagining of the Aesop fable, “The Two Travelers and a Bear.” The theme of this story is “What is a true friend?” Good friends don't just care about themselves. And true friends stick by you when things are going right, and when things are going wrong. Go to the episode webpage: https://jonincharacter.com/bear-weather-friendsMR. REDGE'S HOTLINE ALERT!

Harumph! Why is a new neighbor making Mr. Redge's quills stand on end? Maybe his outlook will change after hearing the story of the pompous peacock who struts his fine feathers while prejudging the friendly crane. Will he connect with the crane's advice to stay open minded, or will he stand firm with his first fowl impression? PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: This is our reimagining of the fable, “The Peacock and the Crane.” Seeing past the surface is the lesson of this story. Sometimes we tell ourselves that our value is only skin deep and it makes us feel insecure. We can also be too quick to cast judgments on others before we get to know them. It's character that matters.

Love it, hate it, don't know what it is or how it's done, the c-section is here to stay. Dr. Amy Thompson is a professor and laborist at The University of Cincinnati's School of Medicine. She walks me through my imaginary c-section, step by step, answering all my questions along the way. Also featured in this episode are Dave, James, and Joe, who all witnessed their spouses c-sections, and who were kind enough to tell the short version of their story.
