“Practice teaches us to have faith in the process,” says Andrea Barrett, National Book Award winning author. In this episode of Emerging Form, we speak with her about her newest book, Dust and Light: On the Art of Fact in Fiction. It's one of the most metaphor-rich, process-curious shows we've had yet. We explore the joys of rabbit holes, the importance of not knowing what we are looking for, the inevitability of false starts (and how to let go of the work we've done), why we shouldn't worry about writing unreadable first drafts, how to develop the muscle of intuition, and the questionable wisdom of how we teach creative writing.Andrea Barrett is the author of the National Book Award-winning Ship Fever, Voyage of the Narwhal, Servants of the Map, Natural History, and other works of fiction. She has received a MacArthur Fellowship, a Guggenheim Award, an Award in Literature from the American Academy of Arts and Letters, an NEA Fellowship, and the Rea Award for the Short Story, and been a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. She lives in the Adirondacks. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit emergingform.substack.com/subscribe

Drs. Barrett:Andrea Barrett, DCDerek Barrett, DCHusband and wife Doctor Team practicing at Barrett Chiropractic in Wichita, KS, since July 2019, focusing on Upper Cervical Chiropractic. They both have a similar upbringing and background and were individually motivated to pursue chiropractic as a means of helping more people with their health. After looking into several healing professions, chiropractic felt like the right fit. The philosophy and chiropractic and their background as athletes came together to form this path.. They wake up together and go to work together. They work together throughout the day. They go to lunch together. They work out together and come home together. One of the bigger reasons for focusing on the upper cervical neck is that we don't want to adjust that every visit. We'll do a full examination, postural orthopedic, and neurological exam. Thermography scans are performed on their neck, and we have Cone Beam CT in our office. 3D view of the upper head and neck area just so we can get the best, most precise analysis so that when we are ready to place that first correction, the patient is getting our best based on their anatomy. The goal is to make a correction that we want to stabilize and start to hold. If somebody was to come and we do an analysis, and we do different tests, and we decide, "Hey, today we're going to leave this area alone. Both Doctors share their joy in treating Ménière Disease. It's a disease that can cause a lot of different things within the body and a lot of stress, but it will cause dizziness, nausea episodes, and brain fog to the extent that they can't even think and get through their day when they're having these episodes. Just very debilitating for them. Vomiting and many other things can come with that too, and usually also a lot of vertigo or tinnitus, which is ringing in the ears.Living life to the fullest and getting your life back is really what it's all about. The focus is on the activities of daily living. Of course, it's a goal to help people get out of that chronic pain or other issues, but at the same time, just getting that day-to-day activity back and being able to live your life and do the things you enjoy is so, so crucial. That's the main focus at Barrett Chiropractic.Drs. Barrett are committed to improving their skill just like an elite athlete would. It takes about 10,000 hours to be an expert in anything.. The more dedicated hours we put into that practice, the better care we can give our patients. The better love and everything else we can implement into their system to help them be the best possible.https://www.barrettchiropractic.com/Message Barrett ChiropracticTo contact Ruth, go to https://www.blairclinic.comruth@blairclinic.comhttps://www.facebook.com/rutelin

Ashton Applewhite is an internationally recognized expert on ageism; she is at the forefront of the emerging movement to raise awareness of ageism and to dismantle it. Check out her acclaimed book, This Chair Rocks. A Manifesto Against Ageism. The Nice Podcast is brought to you by Futureforth.com. We teach leaders of fast-growing companies to improve employee retention, communication, and culture with the Nice Method™. What we talked about... Speaking truth to power. The idea of retirement is obsolete in a world of longer lives. The number one reason people love their jobs is their connection to others. The Spanish word for retirement is Jubilación which means jubilation. In Japan, there's a special word for your 60th birthday - Kanreki. Being called old is only insulting in a world where it is an insult. Ageism is any judgment based on age, too young as well. Physical function is not about age; it's about ability. The only two bad things about aging are that some parts of your body will fall apart, and people you love will die. Ashton Applewhite's TED talk, Let's End Ageism, has nearly two million views. Asking for help is especially shameful to men. Send in questions to “Yo, is this ageist?” My adventure in Iqaluit. Age equity and Age transparency. We can't challenge bias unless we are aware of it. Experience is not a liability. It's an asset. Age bias in corporations is a disadvantage that affects everyone. My interview with Ronni Bennet. Check out TimeGoesBy.net.
