Nurse Josephine Ensign was homeless herself before she became a leading voice in the national conversation on homelessness. She writes about the visceral experience of being homeless, while examining which policies work — and which don't. She has written several books on the subject, including “Way Home: Journeys Through Homelessness.” It's a plea to keep all members of society in focus and in the conversation. Ensign is in Rochester as a guest of SUNY Brockport, and this hour, she joins us on “Connections.” In studio:Josephine Ensign, DrPH, ARNP, professor of nursing at the University of Washington School of Nursing and author of multiple books, including "Way Home: Journeys Through Homelessness"

Caring for Boomer Generation: Building Upon History To Plan The FutureAs the baby boomer generation ages, America's current long-term service and support system (LTSS) faces mounting pressure. With the volume of seniors requiring care increasing, it's becoming clear that our existing infrastructure has opportunities to build person-centered systems to meet the needs and desires of this growing population. In this episode, we dive into how we can learn from our past to understand the critical need for expanding Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS), allowing more seniors to age in place while ensuring institutional services remain available for those who need them most. Join us as we explore what this shift means for families, healthcare providers, and policymakers and how it could reshape the future of aging in America.Objectives: Discuss societal history impacting the evolution of caring for the aging population.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month. To get involved and help spread awareness, we wanted to learn more about Type 1 diabetes, its signs and symptoms, how common it is, and what we can do to help. I learned a lot during this episode, and one thing that stood out to me was that Type 1 diabetes is most often diagnosed in children, teens, and young adults, but it can develop at any age. I had no idea! Anastasia really broke everything down for us, including what parents really need to know about Type 1 diabetes and what to look for so we can look out for our kids and each other. Who is Anastasia Albanese-O'Neill? Anastasia Albanese-O'Neill, Ph.D., ARNP, CDCES transitioned to a career in diabetes care, education, and research in 2008, and since that time has committed her professional life to improving the lives of people with diabetes. She currently serves as director, community screening and clinical trials education at Breakthrough T1D and is the founder and board chair of a Florida-based diabetes education non-profit, Diabetes Toolkit. Anastasia formerly served as director of diabetes education and clinic operations in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Florida, where she maintained an active research portfolio and clinical practice. Prior to working in diabetes care, Anastasia was the highest-ranking executive for Southwest Airlines in southern California, where she oversaw the company's local marketing, public affairs, and community and media relations. She plans to retire as soon as a cure for Type 1 diabetes is discovered, but not a moment earlier. What Did We Discuss? In this episode, we chat with Anastasia all about Type 1 diabetes and what parents need to know — from symptoms to diagnoses and beyond. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation: What exactly is Type 1 diabetes (T1D)? Please tell us how your child's T1D diagnosis changed your career and life. How has it influenced your approach to parenthood? What are some common misconceptions about T1D that you wish more people understood? What are the symptoms of T1D that people need to know? How would I know if my child might have it? What are the benefits of early detection — especially for kids? How can people get screened? How important is the support of family and friends in managing T1D? If a parent has T1D, what are the chances of their kids also having it? Can it affect your pregnancy? What treatment options are there for T1D? What resources do you recommend for people wanting to learn more about Type 1 diabetes? How can people get involved in finding a cure? 90% of people who develop Type 1 diabetes have no family connection with the condition, so it can happen to anyone, even if it doesn't run in your family. This is helpful information for us all to know and be aware of as we grow and raise our babies. Be sure to spread the message!

Ep.81 Dying Well and Making Death A Beautiful Experience with Tamala May ARNP Facing the end of life is a deeply personal journey, and finding beauty in this inevitable part of our existence involves embracing the process and ensuring it is filled with meaning. At the end of life, hospice timely care is a crucial companion, offering support that goes beyond just medical attention. Hospice provides a space for you or your loved one to transition with comfort, dignity, and emotional well-being. Dying well is not just about the physical aspects; it's about making the most of the experience, cherishing moments, and connecting with loved ones. Making death a beautiful experience is about creating a comfortable and peaceful environment for reflection, reconciliation, and solace. It is a reminder that even in the face of mortality, there is an opportunity to shape a narrative that reflects the profound beauty of a life lived, and a farewell embraced with grace. In this episode, we are joined by Tamala May, an Oncology Nurse practitioner, founder of Pursuing Christ Ministries, and author of Starting The Journey. From an early age, Tamala discovered her calling to become a nurse and began her journey at the age of 16 as a nursing assistant. She continued pursuing her passion after graduating from high school and obtaining her degree as a registered nurse. For over 8 years, she gained diverse experience in hospitals and clinics before transitioning to a ward and cancer center. Several years later, an exciting opportunity led her to serve as a home, health, and hospice nurse in North Dakota. Later, she furthered her education by earning a degree as a nursing practitioner. In her initial work, she worked in family practice and oversaw oncology care in North Dakota, but later, she transitioned into a full-time oncology practitioner. Tamala's responsibilities span both clinic and hospital settings, where she works closely with patients facing end-stage disease, frequently facilitating their transition to hospice care. Navigating this delicate phase of life has fueled a genuine passion for approaching death with meaning and compassion. Tune in! Key Highlights from the Episode; [00:01] Episode intro and a quick bio of the guest, Tamala May [02:16] Meet Tamala and learn more about her backstory [02:55] Tamala's job as an oncology nurse and why it's unique [04:38] How Tamala works with different expertise and the palliative care team [07:31] How Tamala navigates her oncology role in both the clinic and hospital set up [08:46] The best way to bring up the end-of-life conversation with patients and families [12:42] How patients at the end of life get ready for their death [15:17] How to handle a family that doesn't want to let their loved one know they're dying [16:40] Do not resuscitate and moving into comfort care discussions [22:06] Tamala's one message to help patients improve their hospice experience [24:13] Dying well and making the most of our dying experience [25:26] Examples of beautiful deaths Tamala has encountered [29:13] The most profound end-of-life story that touched Tamala [33:19] Tamala's book and what inspired her to write it [37:40] Ending show and calls to action Notable Quotes ● Every patient is different, and you have to figure out where your patient is at on the spectrum of understanding their disease and prognosis when bringing up the end-of-life subject. [08:46] ● Death doesn't wait until we are ready to die or can accept it; it's going to come either way, and we need to help people get to the point of being comfortable with accepting death. [11:03] ● All of us need to think about dying well and how we want to spend those days and make the most of our dying experience; death is something all of us are going to experience. [24:58] ● Hospice can be one of the most beautiful things, but it's so under-understood, and sometimes people miss being able to treasure that time because they are afraid of looking at death and death is going to come whether we want it or not.

"I wound up having this trauma happen at the hands of the vice principal. Well, then every time the intercom goes off for every morning's Pledge of Allegiance and secretarial announcements, I go into freeze and terror. And the meaning I created is "I'm not safe." - Dr. Keesha Ewers In this episode, Dr. Keesha Ewers joins me to discuss the connection between the freeze response and autoimmunity. We look at the body's freeze response during traumatic experiences and how those triggers lead to a pattern of nervous system reactivity. We also dive deeper into the freeze response and why it is more common in children. These traumatic experiences can lead to the formation of beliefs and adaptive behaviors that persist into adulthood. We take a deeper look at unresolved anger, specifically unexpressed anger turned towards oneself, and how it is associated with autoimmune conditions. The question we want to answer is: How is the freeze response behind autoimmunity? Key Takeaways: Why looking back and finding a moment when you wanted to die can be helpful How long a Biology of Trauma is happening underneath the surface before symptoms develop Why children experience freeze more than fight or flight You don't need to remember the story to heal 3 essential tools to reverse autoimmunity issues What it is like to apply the tools to yourself and to your patients/clients GUIDE “How do you know if you have trauma? And if you do have trauma, what is the next step? The good news is, there is a step-by-step process for identifying and healing trauma.
