Women are starting to change their attitudes towards hormonal birth control, driven by a condescending attitude from medical professionals, as well as concerns about the actual side effects. Natural Womanhood, on the other hand, has long been a leader in natural family planning, which is compatible with both ethically spacing pregnancies, and the dictates of religion. Grace Emily Stark is the guest on today's Dr. J show, and is is the Editor of Natural Womanhood. Grace holds a M.A. in Bioethics & Health Policy from Loyola University Chicago, and a B.S. in Healthcare Management & Policy from Georgetown University. She is a current Ramsay Institute Fellow at the Center for Bioethics & Culture, and in 2019, she was awarded a Robert Novak Alumni Fund Journalism Fellowship to research and write about the history of birth control, birth control side effects, and the growing interest in natural methods of birth control. Grace and her husband are a certified Teaching Couple for the Couple to Couple League, where they volunteer to teach other couples the Sympto-Thermal Method of fertility awareness.

An interview with Setiro Paul, former member of the Congress of the Federated States of Micronesia and founder of the Chuuk Language and Cultural School on Oʻahu. The Chuuk Language and Cultural Association of Hawaiʻi, Inc.(Chuukmenessor) was founded in January 2016 by parents in the Oʻahu Chuukese community. The group sought to establish a school where their children can learn Chuukese indigenous culture and skills at the Waipahu Safe Haven Immigrant Resource Center, and built an “utteirek,” a meeting place for the community at the Hawaiʻi's Plantation Village. Project partners help to repair the utteirek's thatched roof, made of woven coconut leaves. Through this process, students learn how to build an utteirek and are immersed in the Chuukese language, values, and skills. Website: chuukmenessor.com Tags: Hawaiʻi, Hawai'i, Hawaii

Beloved Young Thing Podcast: Spirituality, Mental Health & Radical Self-Care For Young Women
In today's interview I'm talking to my cousin and pwipwi (the Chuukese word for sister) Jenial Dungawin of SeeOfJenial.com. I love this girl so much and we were best friends when we were little so to be able to reconnect is always such a blessing. We meet each other on parallel paths of faith today and discuss her journey from not believing in God to now, wholeheartedly devoting her life to Him. You're in for a cousin chat full of love and laughter. If you're Micronesian or a Pacific Islander we do touch on the dangers of witchcraft in the communities which is something I'm seeing too often online. We also dig into the Catholic Faith and the beauty of the many practices they do. I hope this episode blesses you as much as it did me, With love, Anela P.S.

I spoke to my friend Lahaina, a storyteller and writer from the islands of Chuuk in the Federated States of Micronesia. Lahaina is a friend of Chellette Mina ( Episode 254). She proudly acknowledges her roots reviving from Tunnuk, the village of the notorious Chuukese musicians, and Uman Fonuweisomw, island of the legendary Chuukese warriors. Lahaina is currently expanding her ventures in storytelling through various projects, one of which is a cookbook of indigenous and traditional Micronesian recipes that come with blurbs of stories told to her from her elders. Other avenues where she tells stories are her travel blog and her Instagram. In our conversation Lahaina shares her experiences with the value of cultural preservation and her experiences with cultural adversity and growing up as a Chuukese woman. Lahaina speaks, reads and writes Chuukese - her native language, in which she also serves as a professional global interpreter and translator. Through her translation work, Lahaina helps her community breaks down barriers in the healthcare and justice systems, and emphasize her community member’s voices. She has been in the language field for almost 10 years. Her goal is to eventually be able to start an afterschool program that teaches the diaspora of Micronesians their culture and native language. Lahaina also pioneered the Chuukese Women Ambassadors, a group consisting of Chuukese women, with the main goal to build an avenue for Chuukese and Micronesian women to tell their stories. They successfully collected and presented a photovoice project and a birth story collection of Chuukese women to the Nation Historical Society. Through the organization of this project, The Chuukese Women Ambassadors were initiators of the revival of community gardening in the diaspora of Micronesian communities. Lahaina is a storyteller and a writer. She is currently writing a cookbook of collective Micronesian indigenous recipes to help promote healthy eating in her community through a decolonized diet. She also has a blog that tells her stories and experiences as she navigates her way, as a small island person in the big world. When her circumstances allows, Lahaina enjoys traveling to learn about other indigenous communities and culture. Above all, she is looking forward to connecting and working together with other individuals at the 3rd Indigenous Global Workshop in Sarayaku’s Territory. Learn more on Dreams Not Memes.

Mary Linn - Vital Voices: Endangered Languages in a Changing World The Not Old Better Show, Smithsonian Associates Art Of Living Series Happy Holidays everyone. Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I'm Paul Vogelzang and this is episode #418. As part of our Smithsonian Associates Art of Living Interview Series, our guest today is Mary Linn, Curator of Cultural and Linguistic Revitalization for the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage (CFCH). As a matter of fact, we're listening to some Smithsonian Folkways Recordings of a Harvest Song, and the CFCH Music from South New Guinea series. Mary Linn discusses with us how indigenous languages are linked to health, education, and employment, as well as the vital connection they provide to the continuity of knowledge and cultural practices. Mary Linn also tells us how speakers of endangered and minoritized languages are engaged in innovative efforts to reclaim them, thus revitalizing, and drawing on examples from several resilient communities, including unwritten languages. One of the examples of an unwritten language that we'll discuss is the language of Chuukese. Mary Linn will hear some Chuukese spoken to her by my son, Avery Vogelzang, which we'll also do during our interview, and now, just to give you a sense of this language. I will tell you, too, that Chuukese isn't a language that Mary Linn is focused on, however, it is one of the languages that could easily be in need of linguistic revitalization, as it is spoken by a very small population in the Federated State of Micronesia. That, of course, is my son, Avery Vogelzang, speaking a brief bit of Chuukese, but we'll now be joined by Mary Linn, Curator of Cultural and Linguistic Revitalization for the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.

Since high school, Nedine Songeni, a proud Chuukese woman living on Guåhan and a mother of two, has noticed a great divide within Pacific Islander communities. Instead of giving into the adversity, Nedine found her calling and passion in building bridges amongst the Chuukese community and other cultures through her work at Humanities Guåhan. Join us in conversation around cultural identity, growing up away from your homeland and the importance of providing better mirrors for our people to see themselves in literature and media.
Sharing a story out of Guam about a widow being scammed. This is another case in Guam that needs to be followed.
Great response over in the Marshall Islands to a possible disaster and where are the autopsy results for a Chuukese detainee in Guam?
A recent article on the Guam Daily Post about Chuukese values is the subject of this episode. I like the message, timing could have been better but better late than never.
After years of being marginalized in the Guam and Hawaii press, Chuukese are weary of bad press. Understandable. But, this time, we have nothing to worry about. The truth will come out and set us FREE
As more of our people immigrate to the US and start families, they will get more involved in their new homes. In Guam, a half Chuukese former news anchor has announced he is running for a seat in the Guam legislature. Good luck Clynt Ridgell. Do Micronesia proud.
This episode brings to the cultural side of things once again. We discuss the Chuukese, Hawaiian, and Chamorro cultures and how they all tie together. Coming to the realization that all people from the Pacific are all one people with similar histories. Tune In!!
