  How can art serve as a powerful way to honor pregnancy, birth, and parenting experiences—especially for families who are often underrepresented in birth spaces?   In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker explores this question with Lauren J. Turner, a Baltimore-based artist, birth worker, and founder of Birth Nerds. Lauren shares how her own home birth experiences, her journey with postpartum and neurodivergence, and a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis shaped her path into birth work and fine art.   Together, Rebecca and Lauren explore how art can be a healing, meditative process for birthing families, and a meaningful tool for birth workers to honor their clients' journeys. Lauren opens up about creating paintings that reflect diverse parenting experiences—from lactation to the NICU—and how she uses bold colors and imagery to bring visibility to Black and Brown families in maternal health.   (03:44) Lauren's First Home Birth Experience and the Impact of Midwives (06:28) A Challenging Second Birth and the Role of Trust and Teamwork (11:19) Starting Over with Doula Training and the Importance of Comprehensive Education (12:27) Living with Multiple Sclerosis and Being Dismissed by the Healthcare System (19:29) Redefining Rest through Art and Creativity (27:51) Exploring Themes in Maternal Health and Parenting Art (28:34) How Parents and Birth Workers Can Use Art to Process Birth (35:41) The Beauty of the Placenta in Art (37:10) Fiber Arts in Birth Work and Creative Expression (40:21) Uplifting Lactation Through Art and Community   Resources Explore Lauren's art: laurenjturnerfineart.com Follow Lauren on Instagram: @birthnerds Shop prints, shirts, and stickers: birthnerds.com Learn more about Mamatoto Village: mamatotovillage.org EBB 92 – Impacts of the Community Birth Worker Model with Aza Nedhari Discover MamAmor Dolls: mamamordolls.com For more information about Evidence Based Birth® and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

"Generous Hearts Bring Joy" - Clay Stauffer - March 30, 2025 by Sermon

In this heartfelt and practical episode, I sit down with Krista Smith, a seasoned digital marketer and family member navigating the Seniors' Care journey with her parents. We dive deep into the importance of embracing a Relational Approach in seniors' care—from the move-in experience to daily interactions.  Key Takeaways: 1. Embrace Authenticity: Show families the real moments of connection, joy, and compassion happening in your care home. Ditch the stock photos and lean into storytelling through user-generated content.  2. Understand the Seasons:  Whether you're focused on staff recruitment, family outreach, or resident engagement, tailor your messaging to meet your audience where they are.  3. Shift from Transactional to Relational: The admission process can set the tone for the entire experience. Simple changes, like starting conversations with “Tell me about your loved one,” can build trust and reduce stress.  4. Support Family Connections: Partner with families to share their stories or offer peer-to-peer support opportunities to help others feel less alone in their caregiving journeys.  5. Bring Joy to Dementia Care: By inviting families to lean into the world their loved one creates, they can discover moments of wonder and connection rather than focusing on loss.  You can learn more about Krista Smith at her website, Linked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thekristasmith/ or Instagram More information about this episode here

The English dictionary has the right definition for joy; unfortunately, all of the examples the dictionary gives for joy are fleeting external things. In order for us to know true joy, we need a Source that is other-worldly.  Check out the video version of this sermon.  If you missed it, check out the lights of hope and peace in our previous messages in this series by clicking here. ►► Would you please prayerfully consider supporting this ministry?

Gratitude always brings joy. It's when I begin to apply it to my grief that I found a new kind of joy in grieving.

When Oliver Burkhardt underwent leukemia treatment at age 9, he entered the hospital wearing his patch-covered denim jacket. Pokemon. Superman. NASA. Police, fire, military. Classic rock bands. About 50 patches sewn on by his parents, selected from thousands sent by well-wishers worldwide after his dad made a social media request. The jacket became Oliver's suit of armor, deflecting his disease—and the nasty side effects of his treatment. It sparked conversations with nurses. His parents decorated their own jackets, showing they were a team. The patches made Oliver feel special. “I knew people were looking out for me, they gave me positive vibes, that people loved me,” said Oliver, now 13 and in remission. Seeing how the jacket and its patches helped Oliver, he and his parents, Brian Burkhardt and Trisha Brookbank, thought other kids battling cancer might like one, too. The couple, who come from art backgrounds, reached out to their designer friends and within a day received 300 renderings for possible patches. The Oliver Patch Project was born. Three years after launching, the charity has provided more than 1,600 children from infancy to 19 years with either a free denim jacket or tote bag. They are adorned with 20 patches selected by the child or parents from the program's website, and then each month they receive another patch in the mail. At the charity's office west of Miami, a dozen boxes containing a jacket or tote awaited pickup, heading to homes in such cities as Corpus Christi, Texas; Eagle Mountain, Utah; and Murietta, California. Children with cancer from all 50 states have joined.  “In many ways, it's not really about patches. It's about love and support and community and something tangible to represent to them that they belong,” said Brian, a former creative director who now runs the charity full-time. Oliver said knowing that a project born from his illness helps other children “is amazing.” He sometimes travels to meet project recipients. “It is hard, but I feel if you have like a positive attitude, which I know sometimes is kind of hard to have, you can get through it and you got this,” he said.
