Patrick encourages men and women grappling with lust to focus on modesty, purity, and self-control in today’s world. He fields a deeply personal call about grief, the ache of unanswered prayers, and the daily effort to pursue virtue, offering compassion, practical wisdom, and the rock-solid hope found in Scripture and community. Sudden moments of humor and heartfelt support blend with advice on modest dress, addiction battles, and the sacred duty to lift up one another—whether that means praying for strangers or connecting a hurting listener with the Knights of Columbus. Laurie - I just wanted to encourage men in custody of eyes. The world, flesh and devil are trying to get us to forget who we are. Men, you are made for this. (01:41) Lisa - The Bible says ask and you shall receive. Did you have any words of comfort for those who don’t get their prayers answered? (06:12) Paul - I agree with you about lust addiction. Praying a daily Rosary and having custody of the eyes helps. I rely on the strength of my guardian angel. (14:07) Katie (email) – Women, please dress modestly. We can help the fight. (20:29) Robert - Custody of the eyes: I turn away and thank God for their beauty instead of ruminating on it. (21:20) Janet – It used to bother me a great deal when I saw women scantily clad. I confessed my anger. I am always praying for them when I see them, it really relieves me of anxiety and angst. (22:08) Ben - CS Lewis’ Screwtape Letters helped me mentally with lust. (24:47) Tom – I have Cerebral Palsy and am being mistreated where I live. How can I deal with this without falling into sin? (28:05) Maria – The friend of my grandson dresses very skimpy. I told him I didn’t like how she was dressed. My family was upset with me for saying this. (39:52) Lisette - My daughter received Voodoo dolls as gift (43:53)

Defying the Odds — Vance Walker's Back-to-Back Ninja Warrior Victories This week on the Team Never Quit podcast, we welcome American Ninja Warrior legend Vance Walker, the first athlete in the show's history to win back-to-back million-dollar championships. At just 19 years old, Vance has become a beacon of perseverance, grit, and unstoppable belief. Born with spastic diplegia, a form of cerebral palsy that affected his ability to walk, Vance was told he may never walk without braces. But through years of determination and relentless training, he not only walked — he ran, jumped, climbed, and conquered Mount Midoriyama... twice. In this episode, Vance shares His journey from leg braces to Ninja Warrior champion, the mental and physical challenges of competing in two seasons back-to-back, and what it means to represent those born with disabilities on a national stage,  Whether you're chasing a personal dream or overcoming an obstacle of your own, this is an episode that will inspire you to keep climbing. In This Episode You Will Hear: • [My mom] She gave me the mindset I've had ever since then, which is “Whatever it takes.” (5:19) • At 17 months old I was diagnosed with cerebral Palsey and was told I might never be able to walk without braces on my legs. (5:37) • If you don't have hard things, you can't get stronger. (13:26) • I always wanted to be good at something, and there was always something that would keep me from being the best. And when I found Ninja, I was able to make my own scheduled, because Ninja Warrior is not a team sport. (15:39) • I can make my own path in this. I can train any way I want to. If there's an obstacle, there's not [just] one way to do it. (18:59) • Just like in life, you need a mentor. You need somebody who's done things before to be able to see how to do things. (29:39) • When was 12, I won my first national championship. (26:59) • I want to get into speaking and sharing my story because that's such as important part of this. (44:22) • When I was a kid in school, I was always different from the other kids. I never fit in with anybody. The only thing that kept me going was the mindset that my mom gave me. (44:57) • To become the best at something is already such an insane challenge, but I started from below everybody else. (45:30) • Any challenge, any obstacle – Never give up. (47:14) • The show is always the one thing I'm the best at. That's where I'm at home. (53:57) • I get that dismount, I hit the buzzer about a thousand times, and I just start bawling my eyes out, because I knew at that point no one was beating me on the rope. I did it. And I ended up winning a million dollars.

In this episode of ListenABLE, hosts Dylan Alcott and Angus O'Loughlin speak with Peta Hooke, a podcaster and disability advocate living with Cerebral Palsy. As the creator and host of The I Can’t Stand Podcast, Peta brings a practical perspective to disability representation, drawing from her personal experiences and conversations within the disabled community. Peta discusses what it’s like to live independently with a physical disability, the ongoing role of support workers, and the reality of navigating healthcare systems that often lack accessibility. The conversation also covers the complexities of fertility treatment for disabled people, including access to IVF and the ableism that can shape medical experiences. "Unfortunately, I had massive issues, particularly around ableism. And it took 313 days to get approval". Peta shares her thoughts on parenting as a disabled person and why disability is simply one part of her life—not something to be overcome. In addition to her podcast work, Peta is an accessibility consultant and recently launched Eggs, a limited-series podcast focused on fertility and disability. Want to support Peta?

From daily walk-in videos to clips of my workouts, I'm documenting my progress in a way that not only tracks physical change, but also reflects the work I've done around body image and self-confidence.I talk about how difficult it used to be to show my full body on camera, let alone share how I walk. I've been leaning into this discomfort and using content as a way to tell my story—not to fit in, but to stand out. I also get into something new I've been doing: writing messages on coffee cups as part of my “Caffeine with Compassion” project. What started as a deeply personal struggle with handwriting as a kid has turned into something I now proudly share.This episode is a reminder that the things we've hidden away can become the things that make us most powerful. By sharing them, we take back control and connect with others who may be going through the same thing.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit https://darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

In this episode of Once Upon a Gene, I'm joined again by rare mom and powerhouse advocate Gay Grossman. Gay works at GeneDx—home to one of the largest clinical genomic databases—and she's here to share two exciting updates that could change everything for rare families and patient advocacy orgs.

A fixed mindset might say intelligence is static.2.  Embrace challenges. ...3. Persist in the face of setbacks. ...4.  See effort as a path to mastery. ...5. Learn from criticism. ...5 ½. Find inspiration in the success of others.Fixed Mindset:Those with a fixed mindset tend to view their abilities as being set in stone, which can lead to a fear of failure or a reluctance to take on challenges.People with a fixed mindset believe individual traits cannot change, no matter how much effort you put in, and are more likely to:1. Believe intelligence and talent are static.2. Avoid challenges to avoid failure.3. Ignore feedback from others.4. Feel threatened by the success of others.5. Hide flaws so as not to be judged by others.This has been a presentation of the BEARANOOGA PRODUCTIONS group!MY NEW NORM Podcast-Email: mynewnorm@email.comCommunity / MERCH: www.mynewnorm.shopFaceBook: @mynewnormInstagram: @mynewnorm_podcastmynewnorm.buzzsprout.com/ / YouTube.com/@mynewnorm

Speaking on the Canadian (Can lit) literary scene and on April/May's The Festival of Literary Diversity (FOLD) specifically, Canadian author and accessibility advocate Amanda Leduc says: It's impossible to have something that's 100 percent accessible all the time. We're always working towards a more accessible world, working towards making those adjustments, bit by bit by bit. And that's where I think having a sense of humility about this and an openness and willingness to learn and to change and grow, for all of us, is really important. This week on Outlook we're talking with Amanda and learning more about Cerebral Palsy and her own experience with the neurological condition causing everything from muscle weakness to fatigue to pain. Leduc tells us about her time getting her Masters at St. Andrew's University in Scotland and something she calls “a monument to exclusion” when it comes to the inaccessibility of heritage buildings and old cities. From the built environment of capital Edinburgh to the natural environment of Canada's winters, Amanda is speaking to us on the show about her own accessibility needs plus considering other's accessibility considerations after being bullied for a visible limp in childhood to her practice of valuing rest and energy preservation (recharging and rejuvenating) in order to be at her most creatively as a writer. For Amanda Leduc, it's about reimagining what storytelling can mean. Check out more on Amanda's work by visiting her website: https://amandaleduc.com Leduc tells us about her previous role as the Festival's Communications and Development Coordinator, about the origins of FOLD for filling a void in Canada's literary and festival spaces as far as diversity and representation are concerned, and about some of the events being offered (both virtual and in-person) such as the Friday night Literary Cabaret and the Sunday High Tea and her involvement in some panels from April 27th to May 4th. And so as The FOLD celebrates its tenth year here in 2025, we're talking bringing people of all experiences and perspectives into the fold with creativity and innovative opportunities for diversity, just as we do every week on Outlook On Radio Western.

“Hello I'm Rosie, I'm disabled, I'm here, I'm proud of it listen to us make us in the conversation because we are not ever going to go away!”.On this episode of ListenABLE, Angus O'Loughlin is joined by the unstoppable Rosie Jones — comedian, writer, actor, and all-round legend. With her razor-sharp wit and deliciously dark humour, Rosie doesn’t just take up space in the comedy world — she owns it. She spills on everything from growing up with cerebral palsy to tackling the stand-up circuit with jokes that hit harder than a British winter. Along the way, we get into her comedy and writing credits (Sex Education, thank you very much), her kids’ books that actually get it right when it comes to disability (The Amazing ED Eckhart series), and why being trolled online won’t stop her from saying exactly what she thinks. Rosie’s not here to be your inspiration — she’s here to make you laugh, and maybe rethink a few things. This episode is a mix of sharp observations, real talk about ableism, and plenty of “did she just say that?” moments. It’s bold, smart, and totally Rosie.Want to support Rosie?

A Cerebral Palsy diagnosis can bring a wave of emotions—especially for families who have already been through the NICU. In honor of Cerebral Palsy Awareness Month, this episode is dedicated to helping NICU parents feel more informed, supported, and empowered as they navigate the possibility or reality of CP.In this episode, we'll talk through the different types of Cerebral Palsy, what can cause it, and why certain babies—especially those born prematurely or with conditions like IVH, PVL, or HIE—may be at higher risk. We'll also discuss why the diagnosis can take time, the early signs parents might notice, and how healthcare providers typically confirm a CP diagnosis. From there, we'll explore treatment options, therapy approaches, and supportive services that can help improve quality of life and promote progress over time.Equally important, we'll talk about the emotional toll a diagnosis can bring and the importance of prioritizing your own well-being as a parent. With the right support systems in place, children with CP can grow, thrive, reach milestones, and live joyful lives—and you deserve to feel supported along that journey too.If you're looking for clarity, encouragement, and practical tools for advocating for your child, this episode was made with you in mind.

“It wasn't any kind of strength within myself that helped me get through the NICU. It was the strength they had—they gave it to me.”- Savannah O'Malley We extend our sincere gratitude to our sponsor for this episode, Gebauer PainEase®. We are pleased to provide more information about this product, and we invite you to learn more by visiting their website. What happens when your birth plan is shattered in an instant? For Savannah, the unexpected arrival of her micropreemie twins at just 24 weeks turned her world upside down. One of her sons faced significant medical challenges, including brain bleeds and a cerebral palsy diagnosis, while the other grew without complications. Through it all, Savannah found healing in advocacy, art, and the power of sharing her story. In this moving episode, we explore: ✅ The emotional and medical complexities of delivering micro-preemie twins ✅ How a cerebral palsy diagnosis reshaped their family's journey ✅ The silent struggle of maternal mental health after a traumatic birth ✅ Why peer support and storytelling matter in healing and advocacy ✅ How Savannah's Cards of Hope project is making a difference for other NICU moms Savannah's story is a testament to resilience, love, and the incredible strength of mothers navigating complex medical journeys.

The first episode of our new call-in show is here, and we have two callers who seemed to be totally unrelated: a new rancher in Texas, and a Swiftie with Cerebral Palsy in New York. But (get your red string and your tinfoil hat) everything is connected! Especially us.  That's easy to forget when we're constantly pushed to see each other as the enemy, and something we need to remember now more than ever.  For full episodes, the full back catalog and a listener community, you can join us here.
