Get involved.” - Ken Isaacs “I’m constantly looking for ways to intertwine all the avenues in such a way as to reach people who are in the ditches of life for the purposes of saving lives, reducing suffering, and doing it in Jesus’ name.” - Ken Isaacs “It has a profound impact on me, the way that [God] weaves things together beyond the horizon of our vision.” - Ken Isaacs “God comes through on His promises, but that doesn’t always mean you’re going to have happy endings. What God promises is that He will be with us through the valley of the shadow of death. I find in my most desperate situations is when I most desperately turn to the Lord and seek His guidance.” - Ken Isaacs “I wanted to present that to those experiencing homelessness—by listening to them, listening to their stories, elevating their voice, it could help save thousands of people. God saved me, and I want to help and go to the same for somebody else.” - Evan Dougoud “One of the most powerful things you can provide somebody is your ears. So by listening, by affirming to them, by allowing their voices to be heard, by allowing their testimony to be heard, that really is breaking barriers, but also creating a solution of trust.” - Evan Dougoud “It takes constant practice to look for the blessings, and to stay connected to something bigger than my thoughts and feelings.” - Diane Chew “There are ways we can take care of ourselves, even as we’re taking care of somebody else. It takes intention, it takes willingness, it takes stubbornness, I think, to not go down with the ship.” - Diane Chew “Whatever you’re facing that feels like it’s beyond your ability to cope, the truth is yes it is. But together with your Creator, you will cope and you will be stronger than the storm.” - Diane Chew “Since I was a young kid, I always believed that God had a plan for me and He had great things in store for my life.” - Tracy Lawrence “It seems like the more you do, the more you realize you’re barely scratching the surface. But hopefully you’ll inspire somebody else, somewhere else, to just do our part to help out our fellow man.” - Tracy Lawrence “I think we all have a responsibility, wherever we’re at in life and whatever you can afford to do, to just contribute and help your fellow man out. I think that when God has blessed you, you have a responsibility to share that with the people you come in contact with and to spread a little bit of that love and joy.” - Tracy Lawrence ________________________ Connect with Jesus Calling Instagram Facebook Twitter Pinterest YouTube Website TikTok *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media* Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Chelsea J. Smith walks into a studio and suddenly I feel like a smurf. She's six-foot-three of sharp humor, dancer's poise, and radioactive charm. A working actor and thyroid cancer survivor, Chelsea is the kind of guest who laughs while dropping truth bombs about what it means to be told you're “lucky” to have the “good cancer.” We talk about turning trauma into art, how Shakespeare saved her sanity during the pandemic, and why bartending might be the best acting class money can't buy. She drops the polite bullshit, dismantles survivor guilt with punchline precision, and reminds every listener that grace and rage can live in the same body. If you've ever been told to “walk it off” while your body betrayed you, this one hits close.RELATED LINKS• Chelsea J.

It is hard to figure out how to take care of yourself when the demands are overwhelming.

As we arrived at the final day of National Family Caregivers Month this November, we're circling back with our partners at AARP Connecticut to unpack some key points from the organization's latest report on Family Caregiving. Nearly three out of every 10 Connecticut residents are family caregivers, and the numbers are growing - so stay tuned and learn what you need - or may need to know about this important public health trend.

What if the secret to happiness isn't avoiding depression, but using it as a weapon? What if people who feel the deepest sadness can also feel the most intense joy...? Show notes You've been told that mental illness is something to hide. Something to manage quietly or "get over." That's the old way of thinking. And frankly, it's complete bullshit. Furiously Happy shows a new idea: if you can feel crushing sadness, you should also be able to feel crushing happiness. Jenny Lawson doesn't just survive her battles with depression and anxiety. She turns them into weapons of joy. She creates a life so deliberately, furiously happy that it becomes an act of rebellion. "I am furiously happy. It's not a cure for mental illness... it's a weapon, designed to counter it." - Jenny Lawson's approach to mental health Mental illness doesn't stop you from being happy. It can actually make your capacity for joy even stronger when you learn to use your emotional intensity on purpose. •Mental health warriors feeling alone or ashamed of their struggles (spoiler alert: you're not alone and you're definitely not broken) •Caregivers and loved ones who want to understand without saying things like "have you tried yoga?" •Anyone feeling "different" who's tired of pretending to be normal (whatever that means) •Self-advocacy learners ready to stop saying sorry for taking up space in the world Jenny Lawson is a #1 New York Times bestselling author. She somehow convinced the world that her particular brand of chaos counts as "expertise." Known as "The Bloggess," she's won the Audie Award for Best Humor and the NoStigmas Hero Award for mental health advocacy. This is impressive considering she once got lost in her own neighborhood. She's spent over a decade using her platform to remove stigma from mental illness. She's built a community of "magnificent weirdos" who find comfort in her words and questionable life choices.

She doesn't just talk about coping; she shares the practical, mental, and emotional steps she took to rebuild her identity and find new purpose after unimaginable grief. This conversation offers hope that is authentic, heartfelt, and entirely free of clichés.In this deeply honest conversation, we normalize the mental health shifts required to endure trauma and emerge stronger:Resilience as a Skill: Jenny breaks down The Anatomy of Resilience—why your inner strength is a skill you can and must develop before life's biggest challenges hit.The Caregiver Identity: We discuss the silent mental load of caregiving and advocacy, and how to maintain your own psychological health when you are the sole anchor for a loved one.Turning Survival into Growth: The emotional and mental shifts required to move from merely enduring pain to actively creating a new life filled with meaning, growth, and joy.Micro-Moments of Hope: Why joy doesn't need to be grand to be transformative, and how focusing on tiny sparks of light can sustain you through the darkest phases of grief and recovery.The Power of Vulnerability: Jenny explains how being fiercely open about fear, uncertainty, and grief became her bridge to deeper connection with her community and herself.Whether you are navigating a personal setback, recovering from loss, or simply looking to fortify your mental health, Jenny's story will inspire you to believe that you can emerge from hardship more alive, more intentional, and more truly yourself than ever before.Support the showBe sure to subscribe to stay current.

We're going to open with a bird's eye view of new career opportunities and training as we bring in a panel to talk about Connecticut's own Drone Academy - a pilot program developed in collaboration with The WorkPlace, Southern Connecticut State University (SCSU), and Career Resources to create a technology-oriented career pathway for out-of-school youth, aged 18-24, within the growing unmanned aerial vehicles/drone industry sector.  Then as we hit the final day of National Family Caregivers Month this November, we're circling back with our partners at AARP Connecticut to unpack some key points from the organization's latest report on Family Caregiving. Nearly three out of every 10 Connecticut residents are family caregivers, and the numbers are growing - so stay tuned and learn what you need - or may need to know about this important public health trend. And finally, we have come to understand that high-quality early care and education is one of the most effective, evidence-based ways to support children's long-term success. However, CT Voices' new analysis of ECE data from 2014 to 2024 shows that the system has struggled to meet demand. So, we're bringing in the co-authors of the latest Connecticut Voices for Children 2025 State of Early Childhood report to continue our conversations on this important topic.

When Julia Stalder heard the words ductal carcinoma in situ, she was told she had the “best kind of breast cancer.” Which is like saying you got hit by the nicest bus. Julia's a lawyer turned mediator who now runs DCIS Understood, a new nonprofit born out of her own diagnosis. Instead of panicking and letting the system chew her up, she asked questions the industry would rather avoid. Why do women lose breasts for conditions that may never become invasive? Why is prostate cancer allowed patience while breast cancer gets the knife? We talked about doctors' fear of uncertainty, the epidemic of overtreatment, and what happens when you build a movement while still in the waiting room. Funny, fierce, unfiltered—this one sticks.RELATED LINKS• DCIS Understood• Stalder Mediation• Julia's story in CURE Today• PreludeDx DCISionRT feature• Julia on LinkedInFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Lisa Skinner discusses Alzheimer's care beyond memory loss, emphasizing the importance of "joining their reality" rather than correcting false beliefs. She challenges myths about late-stage awareness and stresses early planning, caregiver self-care, and workplace support as cases are projected to triple by 2050.   TAKEAWAYS Validate emotions and join their reality instead of correcting false beliefs to prevent distress.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode, the hosts kick off a brand-new mini-series exploring one of the most challenging dynamics in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT): red-light caregiving responses—those pivotal moments when vulnerability is met with shutdown, panic, or defensive reactivity. Drawing on real cases, supervision moments, and personal experience as EFT trainers, James and Ryan clarify the difference between “green-light” and “red-light” caregiving, unpack why these responses emerge, and offer practical strategies for therapists in the heat of high-stakes attachment moments. To support our mission and help us continue producing impactful content, your financial contributions via Venmo (@leftpodcast) are greatly appreciated. They play a significant role in keeping this valuable resource available and are a testament to your commitment to our cause.

Debra Fields joins guest co-host Tina Smith and host Ron Aaron to talk about how and why self-care and being a caregiver is changing in black communities on this edition of Caregiver SOS.

  In this heartfelt episode of American Potential, host David From talks with Beka Dowhy, founder of the Caregiver Support Network, about her mission to support family caregivers who often feel unseen and alone. After caring for her mom through multiple sclerosis (MS) alongside her dad, Beka experienced firsthand how isolating caregiving can be — and decided to change that for others. She shares how her organization connects caregivers with prayer partners, emotional support, and practical help like meal deliveries, cleaning services, and home care relief so they can take a breath and care for themselves, too. This inspiring conversation shines a light on the unseen heroes caring for loved ones and offers real solutions for preventing caregiver burnout and building community-based support networks across the country.

In the quiet chaos of a family crisis, a single phone call can upend your world. For Beth Pinsker, CFP®, that call came when her 76-year-old mother, living independently in Florida, faced spinal surgery and needed help managing her daily life—and her money. What followed was nine months of medical ups and downs, culminating in her mother's passing and the grueling task of settling her estate. Pinsker, a retirement and financial planning columnist at MarketWatch, channeled this experience into her new book, My Mother's Money: A Guide to Financial Caregiving. It's not just a memoir; it's a roadmap for the 63 million Americans—often sandwiched between their own lives and aging parents—thrust into financial caregiving roles.As a Certified Financial Planner who doesn't manage client money, Pinsker's expertise shines through her journalistic lens. "I just write about this stuff for educational purposes and to help guide people through holistic planning," she explains in a recent interview with the Positive Aging Community. Her book demystifies the "mess" of elder finances, blending raw storytelling with practical tools. Structured in five parts—Getting Started, The Cost of Care, How to Make the Money Last, Settling the Estate, and Workbooks—it's designed to turn dread into doable steps.

Caregiving services for seniors can easily cost more each year than what the average American makes. And health insurers, both government and private, may not provide the coverage people need. That leads many people to step in and do the work for free. But caregivers need to take care of themselves, too. That's something Dawnita Brown knows all too well, as a caregiver to both her parents, and founder of The Binti Circle. It's a group she founded for Black daughters like her who are doing caregiving work.For sponsor-free episodes of Consider This, sign up for Consider This+ via Apple Podcasts or at plus.npr.org. Email us at considerthis@npr.org.This episode was produced by Alejandra Marquez Janse, with audio engineering by David Greenburg and Valentina Rodriguez Sanchez.

Dr. Rachel Gatlin entered neuroscience with curiosity and optimism. Then came chaos. She started her PhD at the University of Utah in March 2020—right as the world shut down. Her lab barely existed. Her advisor was on leave. Her project focused on isolation stress in mice, and then every human on earth became her control group. Rachel fought through supply shortages, grant freezes, and the brutal postdoc job market that treats scientists like disposable parts. When her first offer vanished under a hiring freeze, she doubled down, rewrote her plan, and won her own NIH training grant. Her story is about survival in the most literal sense—how to keep your brain intact when the system built to train you keeps collapsing.RELATED LINKS• Dr. Rachel Gatlin on LinkedIn• Dr. Gatlin's Paper Preprint• Dr. Eric Nestler on Wikipedia• News Coverage: Class of 2025 – PhD Students Redefine PrioritiesFEEDBACKLike this episode?

EPISODE DESCRIPTIONBefore she was raising millions to preserve fertility for cancer patients, Tracy Weiss was filming reenactments in her apartment for the Maury Povich Show using her grandmother's china. Her origin story includes Jerry Springer, cervical cancer, and a full-body allergic reaction to bullshit. Now, she's Executive Director of The Chick Mission, where she weaponizes sarcasm, spreadsheets, and the rage of every woman who's ever been told “you're fine” while actively bleeding out in a one-stall office bathroom.We get into all of it. The diagnosis. The misdiagnosis. The second opinion that saved her life. Why fertility preservation is still a luxury item. Why half of oncologists still don't mention it. And what it takes to turn permission to be pissed into a platform that actually pays for women's futures.This episode is blunt, hilarious, and very Jewish. There's chopped liver, Carrie Bradshaw slander, and more than one “fuck you” to the status quo. You've been warned.RELATED LINKSThe Chick MissionTracy Weiss on LinkedInFertility Preservation Interview (Dr. Aimee Podcast)Tracy's Story in Authority MagazineNBC DFW FeatureStork'd Podcast EpisodeNuDetroit ProfileChick Mission 2024 Gala RecapFEEDBACKLike this episode?
