The journey of caregiving is a delicate dance of emotions and responsibilities, especially for parents of disabled children who face societal pressures. Home and community care services provide essential support and respite, allowing families to maintain a safe environment and caregivers to recharge. Self-care, such as meditation or exercise, is critical for caregivers to sustain their well-being and continue their responsibilities.   In this episode, host Annette Hines sits with Kelley Coleman as she shares her journey of parenting a disabled child, revealing how it led her to write "No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports." Kelley expresses the importance of accessing accurate information and insights directly from individuals with disabilities to combat stigma and misconceptions. Her book serves as a practical guide for caregivers, filled with invaluable checklists, personal stories, and strategies for self-care, effective communication, and advocacy. Kelley and Annette bond over their shared love for practical tools, discussing the significance of job training in caregiving and urging caregivers to establish boundaries and prioritize their well-being. They reflect on their own experiences, the emotional toll of caregiving, and the power of a supportive community.   In this episode, you will hear: Why it is important to seek insights from individuals with disabilities Addressing the challenges faced by parents of disabled children How caregivers can prioritize self-care and establish boundaries Why it is important to advocate for home and community-based care services What resources are available for caregivers of children with disabilities Resources from this Episode: Kelley Coleman: www.kelleycoleman.com  Facebook:  @kelley.coleman.56 Instagram: @hellokelleycoleman    Engage with us: Join our community: Circle of Care Visit:  https://annettehines.com Read Butterflies and Second Chances LinkedIn: @annette-hines-snc  Instagram: @parentingimpossible Facebook: @SpecialNeedsCompanies Twitter: @SpecialNeedsCo   Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

Although I do live a dual life when it comes to colleagues, co-workers, and friends, I am an open book to the right people. The author of Living with crossdressing - the new normal, discusses more about her life than many people do with whom she interacts with on a daily basis.Savannah is from Detroit, Michigan, where the climate of acceptability in the 80s and 90s was less than stellar for crossdressers and other transgender folks. Twenty years ago, she moved to the big city of Manhattan Island for work-related reasons and discovered a world (or a couple of boroughs) where alternative lifestyles were so much more socially acceptable. Eventually, Savannah moved out onto Long Island to live, work, love and explore both my masculinity and femininity. Now, she currently lives in a new regional culture of the Upstate of South Carolina.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/no-limits-podcast--5110273/support.

One of the goals of this podcast is to shine some light on the accomplishments and hard work of amazing naturalists and educators like Amy Butler.  Her tireless work in the northern heart of Vermont has led to nature based programs for youth, wonderful staff training, public school partnerships and a thriving North Branch Nature Center. In our conversation, Amy shares details about her book 'Educating Children Outdoors', which is a guide for teachers and educators to achieve outstanding results for students of all ages.  She shares stories from her early adventures in earth skills, tracking and nature studies, and her work as a teacher in various roles and educational settings. We dive into a number of issues that seem to come up for all nature educators when they begin to partner with public schools, and Amy shares her successes from her extensive experience.  It is always inspiring and insightful to talk to someone who has been walking the talk for decades, and to hear about her new book.

Virginia (Ginnie) Isaacs Cover has worked throughout her career with children and adults with complex medical conditions and developmental disabilities. She is an advocate for those with disabilities and their families and published a widely read guidebook for those affected by X and Y chromosome variations. She explores the impact of a prenatal diagnosis on a young family in her new book, Supplemental Needs: A Novel. Ginnie became a “special needs parent” when her younger son was diagnosed prenatally with 47,XXY, also known as Klinefelter syndrome. Although sex chromosome aneuploidy (SCA) is more common than Down syndrome at an estimated 1 in 400 live births, it is recognized and properly diagnosed in fewer than 25 percent of the affected population. She became a passionate advocate for families affected by disabilities, including the X and Y chromosome variations, and provides educational programs for families and professionals who work with this population. In 2012, she published Living with Klinefelter Syndrome, Trisomy X, and 47,XYY. The book provides clear explanations of the genetics involved, as well as diagnosis, disclosure, development from infancy through potential health and fertility issues, and educational and psycho-social considerations. This guidebook has helped thousands of people grow their understanding of this condition. She believes it is equally important for literature to cover the emotional impact that prenatal testing has on parents while also improving early identification of X and Y chromosome conditions. She felt this could only be done through the sharing of stories. Her goal in writing the novel was to explore the impact of a prenatal genetic diagnosis on a young family who decides to continue a pregnancy despite a medical geneticist's advice. Supplemental Needs: A Novel portrays a young family whose lives change on learning through prenatal genetic diagnosis that their baby will have Klinefelter syndrome, most likely causing some degree of disability, as well as infertility and possible sexuality issues. In this episode, Ginnie speaks about prenatal counseling; termination of pregnancy when chromosomal variations exist; societal acceptance of KS, the neurodiverse, LGBTQ individuals and how it has changed over time; and attitudes in Judaism toward LGBTQ individuals and why these are so different across the branches (Reform, Conservative, Orthodox) Supplemental Needs incorporates accurate information and creates needed conversation around what we each believe about continuing a pregnancy where there may be some level of disability, or when there may be a slightly elevated rate of homosexuality, or of gender dysphoria. Readers gain greater awareness and understanding about the parental experience of when a child is not following a typical developmental trajectory, familiarizing the public with sex chromosome aneuploidy in a non-sensational manner. "I want readers to experience the sadness, fear, and hopefulness felt by [the characters] as they wrestle with the choices that must be made, and the impact they have on their son, and their family," Ginnie says. "Through the characters and events, readers will also confront the research suggesting that sexual orientation and identity may be heavily influenced by DNA." Ginnie lives in the Washington, D.C., metro area and has two adult sons and three grandchildren. She volunteers through her synagogue for the Interfaith Refugee Support group. She also is a board member for L'Arche Long Island, a non-profit agency providing housing for adults with developmental disabilities, vocational and life skills training. Ginnie holds a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Michigan.

In addition to this, we are missioned to help families in traditional schools build a healthy collaborative relationship between the school and home. Visit our website!! Guest: Nikolai Pizarro @raisingreaders For over 10 years, Nikolai Pizarro, has worked to empower predominantly Black and Brown parents and caregivers, particularly segments further marginalized by socioeconomic factors, with science based frameworks of early brain development, literacy instruction, non-violent discipline, and self-directed education. Her book, Ring the Alarm, has been used by programs sponsored by Brooklyn Kindergarten Society and the Department of Health. She has facilitated workshops at hundreds of preschools and private early childhood centers, including over 300 Early Start and Head Start Centers.  Over the past 8 years, as her own unschooling journey with her son has unfolded, her work has increasingly included private and small group coaching and collaboration with families looking to transition from conventional schooling to self-directed models and just as importantly, a commitment to reconnect with our assignment to children rather than the school system, curriculum, values, and metrics. "This work is bigger than where and how children do school. This work is in defense of childhood and our divine assignment to center humanity and belonging. " she shares.  As a response to the collective disconnection throughout the covid pandemic, she started the facebook group BIPOC-led Homeschooling & Communities of Care SUPPORT, for BIPOC families and co-conspirators committed to Black and Brown liberation with now over 3,000 members, a free community text line, 404-737-1065, which reminds parents to center humanity at home, an early literacy system (The Foundation Bag),  and has initiated a project to turn her own home into a self-directed, forest school and permaculture, mixed age co-op. She is also the creator of a free adaptable arts-ed curriculum, B.A.E. Black Art Excursion, consultant with Anahsa Consulting, and a certified Forest School Director.

With Miss Liz joining and coming in from Canada, the advocate and author Randi Lee Bowslaugh bring a strong T-E-A to her new book and mental health awareness. Randi-lee BowslaughMay 11th, 7 Pm ESTLIVE STREAMING ON MULTIPLE PLATFORMS AND PODCASTS STATIONS AND APPS Randi-Lee was born and raised in Ontario, Canada and from a young age, she had a passion for helping others. She attended Niagara College and graduated at the top of her class from Community and Justice Services after completing her placement at a recovery house for alcohol and drug addictions. Post-graduation, she worked at a Native Friendship Centre for two and a half years while pursuing a university education in psychology. Randi-Lee continued working in social services for another four years as an employment counsellor until she left to pursue her other passions. Randi-Lee is an author and outspoken advocate for mental health, sharing her true story with honesty. From the age of 14, she struggled with depressive thoughts. There were times when she wasn't sure how she would continue. Depression continues to be a battle in her life, but she is glad she continues living. She has spoken at events promoting wellness and compassionately shares her experiences with her mental health. In 2021 she started a YouTube channel, Write or Die Show, to spread awareness about various mental health issues and to end the stigma associated with mental health. Growing up, she never felt that she fit in, being the last to understand jokes and confused about many emotions that she saw in others. In 2021 she finally had answers to the questions about herself that had been nagging at her. She was diagnosed with moderate Autism. Another of Randi-Lee's passions is kickboxing, which she has been doing for about ten years. She was a Canadian National Champion in kickboxing in 2015, competed at the World's Kickboxing tournament later that year, and 2016 competed at the Pan-Am Games, where she received silver in her division. In 2020 she was chosen as one of the coaches for the Ontario Winter Games, where she inspired and coached young athletes. Randi is a mom to two; her youngest child has autism, and she is a grandma to one. Randi encourages and supports her youngest child's entrepreneurial spirit as he follows his dream of being an artist. When she can, she incorporates his art into her stories.

Welcome back to the Interlude Podcast. You are listening to Episode 133, a conversation with…

Alexandra Allred, an athlete, author, environmental advocate, and fitness instructor, shared the story behind her title with us on March 1, 2023.Alexandra made sports (and medical) history through activism and determination. When she learned that women were not allowed in bobsled, she lobbied for equal status with a relentless letter-writing campaign. It had not yet occurred to her that she had no idea how to actually bobsled. As a former fighter in martial arts, she had only cared that women were banned from a sport deemed “too dangerous” and “too fast.”When told that the women's program had no by-laws and was therefore unofficial, Allred co-authored the first U.S. women's bylaws and helped secure a sponsor. She ultimately won the U.S. Nationals in September 1994, making sports history as she was named to the first-ever U.S. women's bobsled team. When the United States Olympic Committee named her Athlete of the Year for her sport, it made international news that Allred was also pregnant.At the time, there was very little data on elite pregnant athletes who did powerlifting and plyometrics. While Allred became the “poster child” of the Case Western OB/GYN international study, Allred was squatting 375 lbs. and clocked at 20 MPH sprints into her second trimester.  The results of this study changed how to measure the safety of baby in utero for competitive athletes. Both the United States and International Olympic Committee used Allred's training data as a safety guide for pregnant athletes and she served as a fitness/nutrition expert for two decades. Upon retirement, Sports Illustrated asked her to try out for a women's professional football team and write about her experiences in the award-winning book, Atta Girl! A Celebration of Women in Sport (Wish Publishing). Allred later became the first American (male or female) to test drive the Volvo Gravity car for Volvo magazine in North America.SUE SAYS"Alex made history through activism and sheer determination after learning that women were not allowed to participate in bobsled. She lobbied for equal status by launching a relentless letter-writing campaign at the powers that be. Although she had no idea how to actually bobsled, she cared that women were banned from a sport deemed “too dangerous” and “too fast” and decided to do something about it. Watch Alex talk about the life experiences she had including Dyslexia and a sexual assault that led to her determination to help others."Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/women-to-watch-r/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

For the 50th episode of Stories of Service, I go back to the core of why I started a show, which is how our stories of trauma can not only be a catalyst for helping us heal, but being of service to others. Gloria Masters is a Survivor, Author, and Advocate for child sexual abuse (CSA) survivors. She speaks from sixteen years of lived experience and has managed to turn the final corner of healing into giving back. She does this by highlighting the issue of CSA to help others. She is just about to publish her second book, Flightpath to Healing, which is a guide for survivors. She provides untold resources on Gloriamasters.com. and runs the YouTube channel Handing the Shame Back, (also available on major podcast outlets). Her focus is on hope, love, and joy and she follows her Angels wherever they lead her.Here is the background of her book I could not put down. It's June 1960, and in middle-class suburban New Zealand, a child was born into sex slavery. For the first sixteen years of her life, Gloria suffered horrendous sexual, physical and psychological abuse at the hands of her father, with no one to protect her. From the underworld of her father's pedophile ring to the groups he trafficked her to, she found an inner strength and a light that shone so brightly, that her mind was the one thing that could not be destroyed.Experienced through the eyes of a child, On Angels Wings will forever highlight the way we deal with child abuse, shining a light on this darkness, and challenging us not to assume that every child is safe. One voice speaking out is all it takes to save a life.You can learn more about Gloria here - https://gloriamasters.com/
