Happy New Year (and Happy Reading) from The Daily Poem!Born in Amherst, Massachusetts, to academic Calvinist parents, poet, author, and Native American rights activist Helen Hunt Jackson (born Helen Maria Fiske) was orphaned as a child and raised by her aunt. Jackson was sent to private schools and formed a lasting childhood friendship with Emily Dickinson. At the age of 21, Jackson married Lieutenant Edward Bissell Hunt and together they had two sons. Jackson began writing poetry only after the early deaths of her husband and both sons.Jackson published five collections of poetry, including Verses (1870) and Easter Bells (1884), as well as children's literature and travel books, often using the pseudonyms “H.H.,” “Rip van Winkle,” or “Saxe Holm.” Frequently in poor health, she moved to Colorado on her physician's recommendation and married William Sharpless Jackson there in 1875.Moved by an 1879 speech given by Chief Standing Bear, Jackson wrote A Century of Dishonor (1881), an exposé of the rampant crimes against Native Americans, which led to the founding of the Indian Rights Association. In 1884 she published Ramona, a fictionalized account of the plight of Southern California's dispossessed Mission Indians, inspired by Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin.Jackson was inducted into the Colorado Women's Hall of Fame in 1985.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Rundown - Intro - 00:35 Beth McCann in the Inner Sanctum of Craig's Lawyers' Lounge - 08:07 Troubadour Dave Gunders - 01:25:32 "Some Days" by Dave Gunders - 01:28:04 Outro - 01:33:35 Denver District Attorney Beth McCann makes a historic trip into the Inner Sanctum of Craig's Lawyers' Lounge. She's about to conclude two terms and will be stepping off the public stage, but not without some public expressions, as you will hear. Beth McCann is a trailblazing figure in Denver's legal landscape. She was sworn in as the city's first female District Attorney on January 10, 2017. Her journey to this historic position reflects groundbreaking achievements and a commitment to public service. McCann spent her childhood moving frequently due to her father's career as an Army colonel, including stints in Japan and Taiwan. Inspired by feminist role models, she pursued higher education to establish a career. McCann graduated magna cum laude from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio. Former President Trump is now stirring up hate against lawful Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, and he's telling lies about Aurora, Colorado. McCann assures us that Denver law enforcement will be ready if Trump comes to our neighboring city of Aurora. Like California AG-Elect Kamala Harris, who was also elected on the first Tuesday of November 2016, Denver DA-Elect Beth McCann felt queasy about our country despite achieving her lifetime pinnacle job. Eight years later, Beth McCann voluntarily surrendered power to her successor, John Walsh (Ep 193), whom she endorsed. McCann's legal journey began at Georgetown University Law School in 1971, where she was one of only a handful of women in her class. After graduating in 1974, she moved to Denver, becoming only the second female law clerk for Colorado's U.S. District Court Judge Sherman G. Finesilver. McCann served as a deputy and then Chief Deputy District Attorney in Denver from 1975 to 1982, prosecuting hundreds of cases. In the early 1990s, McCann became Denver's first female Manager of Safety under Mayor Wellington Webb. For eight years, McCann served as Deputy Attorney General for Civil Litigation and Employment Law for the Colorado Attorney General's Office. McCann was also a four-term elected state representative for HD 8 in Denver, focusing on criminal justice matters and health care reform. McCann has long been a strong advocate for women in the legal profession. She is a founding member and former president of the Colorado Women's Bar Association, and she explains why most of her new hires are female prosecutors. Kamala Harris's virtues as a fellow big-city prosecutor are extolled. Beth and Kamala have inevitably faced specific difficult everyday top prosecutor experiences. We agree that Tim Walz is a fine man and educator. We talk with Denver DA McCann about character and leadership. McCann explains her recent decision no charges will be filed in connection with a deadly shooting in July at an apartment near the University of Denver. https://www.9news.com/article/news/local/du-apartment-intruder-shot-killed/73-a62f1a45-d7ce-49ed-a055-907d65887ed5 According to Denver Police, a resident returned to their apartment inside One Observatory Park around 1 a.m. on July 21 and was startled by an intruder. The apartment building is on East Evans Avenue, just east of South University Boulevard. We discuss how Kamala Harris said she'd shoot any intruder into her family home. Beth McCann explains the burden of proof on prosecutors and how she's made thousands of such decisions. https://people.com/kamala-harris-tells-oprah-intruder-getting-shot-if-try-to-break-in-8716045 Show Troubadour Dave Gunders plays hurt, coming off the recovery table from knee replacement surgery and offering his toe-tapping song "Some Days." Some days this week started off bad for NC Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson, who had nasty laundry exposed. It could not happen in a better swing state. The host starts the show by decrying Trump's blaming of the Jews in case he does not get elected. Is he talking to Craig? It appears so. What's he going to do about it? Have friends extract retribution? WTF. Kamala continues to be calm and bright. This episode is hopeful.

In this episode, we cover:The diagnosis process can be fraught. Dr. Richey says that you do NOT need a diagnosis to start giving yourself love and compassion. You don't need a label to understand yourself. The DSM is very limited, and is inadequate when it comes to diagnosing women and girls as well as the BIPOC community. Dr. Richey breaks down the difference between screening and testing, and outlines the different types of practitioners who provide diagnosis. Understanding WHY you are seeking a diagnosis is an important part of choosing the correct path for you. We learn the term "Good girl zone" and how it starts with little girls who can't pay attention in class but pretend they are so they don't get in trouble. "You are neurodivergent, and that's okay. You don't have to do that." Dr. Richey gives us the permission to function differently that we didn't get in childhood. In fact, not only can we be okay, we can be better than ok. Dr. Richey tells us how to prepare for an ADHD evaluation in terms of what to do ahead of time, what to bring, and what to expect. In part one of our incredible conversation with Dr. Rebecca Richey, Psy.D, MBA, LC, SW, MS, CP, CAC-III, who serves as the clinical director for Colorado Women's Collaborative Healthcare, we discuss the complicated process of getting an ADHD diagnosis. She covers the different types of practitioners available, the different options for evaluation, and the obstacles to getting diagnosed, including flaws in the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) that make women and the BIPOC community more likely to fall through the cracks. She sheds light on what happens when girls are not properly diagnosed with ADHD. Follow Dr. Richey here:https://cowomenscare.com/Download the ADHD Mom Meditation Here:https://www.motherplusser.com/ADHD-meditationHere are the abbreviated notes from Dr. Richey (if you want the whole notes page, email me at hello@motherplusser.com and I will send them to you):Screening vs. testing—any self-completed forms that ask about symptoms is a screener. Doing a self-eval and talking to a professional for a while is a screener or an enhanced screener.Testing/psychological assessment—more in-depth and uses objective measures (vs. subjective). Objective measures being cognitive testing, continuous performance testing, memory testing, executive functioning, collaborative info.Whether you get a screener or an assessment depends on what you want...If you think you have ADHD and want to try medication, a screening with a PCP or psychiatrist is in line. If you want treatment that doesn't involve medication, a screening with a master's level clinician is great.MOTHER PLUS INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mother_plus_podcast/MOTHER PLUS FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/motherpluspodcastMOTHER PLUS PERMISSION SLIP: https://www.motherplusser.com/Permission-SlipMOTHER PLUS NEWSLETTER: https://www.motherplusser.com/signup-pageMOTHER PLUS BLOG: https://www.motherplusser.com/blog

So by the time they come to the Beam project, they have long histories of addiction and incarceration, often homelessness.”The nonprofit employs the women to make bean soup–and about 50 other food products they sell locally and online nationally.She provides some additional context for understanding the work: No one ever has one barrier to employment. Barriers happen in clusters, and they're interwoven and complicated. So, there are challenges with maintaining sobriety. There are health issues that have come up because of years of substance misuse. There are communication challenges. There's a history of domestic violence.Think about all of those things in the context of how they get in the way of employment and employment being the key to breaking out of poverty and staying out of prison. We approach it from that standpoint of working with each woman, meeting her where she is and helping her overcome her barriers to employment.To illustrate the power of the work, Tamra shares a story of a young woman:One woman stands out to me. She was just 21. That's our minimum age to hire at. Her background was that at 13, her mom introduced her to cocaine and later threw her out of the house because she perceived that she was competition for boyfriends.So, at roughly 13, she was on the streets. She didn't finish school. She was too young to get a job. So, she spent the next five years involved with a lot of bad people, doing a lot of bad things. Maybe the best thing that could have happened to her is that at 18, she was arrested because then she got into the justice system; that helped her get stable and get sober. By the time she was 21 when her pastor referred her to us, she was ready to start her life and to watch her go from not having had the opportunity to develop her identity as a teen, which is when we typically do, to becoming–deciding who she wanted to be and what kind of mom she wanted to be. Today, she's in her 30s, and she is she has a daughter. Think about the fact that her daughter will never know a time when [her mom's] not employed. Not only does she, this woman, have a full-time job, but she also volunteers at a women's prison near her home and does pastoral counseling for the women who are in this prison. When I think about when we get to a point where we are stable enough to begin to pay it forward or to help someone else, that's a testament to having accomplished a lot.The program's success proves that troubled women society may be tempted to write off as lost souls are worth a hill of beans–and much more. Their lives have all the potential of anyone else and all the value of any of us.In this inspiring work, Tamra daily employs her superpower, giving grace.AI Episode Summary* Tamra Ryan is the CEO of the Women's Bean Project in Denver, which employs women in difficult circumstances through a nonprofit social enterprise.* The Women's Bean Project hires women experiencing chronic unemployment and teaches them the skills needed to move to mainstream employment.* The women work in food manufacturing, producing a variety of food items distributed across the US.* The purpose of the Women's Bean Project is to help women overcome barriers to employment.* Women spend 70% of their paid time working in the business and 30% of their paid time in classes focused on personal development.* The Women's Bean Project works with other organizations to provide additional support, such as housing, legal services, and counseling.* The women in the program typically have histories of addiction, incarceration, and homelessness.* The Women's Bean Project aims to address the whole person and help women become great employees who can then find jobs in the community.* The program has had many success stories, with women blossoming into confident individuals who can support themselves and their families.* By changing a woman's life, the Women's Bean Project also has a positive impact on her family and the community as a whole.How to Develop Giving Grace As a SuperpowerTamra shares how she uses her superpower, giving grace, to serve the women employed at the Women's Bean Project:The person I'm interacting with is coming from a place, and maybe they're doing the best that they can, and maybe it's not a great interaction, but I need to give them the grace to be where they are at that time. I think very often, especially today, so many of our interactions between people entirely lack grace–just understanding that people bring different perspectives to every interaction with one another–there is not a lot of grace-giving that's happening.Tamra shared another inspiring story to help us see the impact of grace:I think of a woman named Joy who came to us after spending time in federal prison because of the level of drug dealing that she was doing. She came to us; she had gotten custody of her kids back. She had four kids ranging in age from 8 to 18 when she started working for us. During the time that she was working for us, at the time, our wage was $8 an hour. When she went back for her redetermination for her food stamps, which were helping her support her kids, she was receiving $150 a month–and figuring out how to make that work with just 150 bucks–and they cut her to $5 a month because her $8 an hour job was too much.She came in to work and said, “I just have to quit because this isn't worth it. I don't even know why I don't just go back to dealing drugs because I never had to worry about this problem. I didn't have to report my income.”It was a dark time for her. She stopped coming to work for a few days. We started working with her. We wouldn't let her go. We persisted. What could have happened with any other employer is to just let her quit. What we decided was that, in the long run, that wouldn't be the best thing for her or her family–allowing her to quit. Instead, we helped her get access to food resources. She was pretty close to graduating. I think the ultimate punch in the face to fate was that she went on to work for a food distributor, making $18 an hour, so she no longer even needed access to food stamps. She graduated our program because we wouldn't let her quit. And then she ended up having this sweet revenge on the universe by getting such a great job.Tamra also shares some advice for giving grace:Check yourself and realize that your perspective is just one perspective. I often joke that there are three sides to every story: his, hers, and the truth. Starting from that standpoint of understanding that just because it's your opinion and it may be a well-founded opinion or perspective, it's not the only perspective. Being open to the idea that someone else's perspective is just as valid as your own and being willing to listen to it and try to understand [is key]. It's easy for us to apply our paradigms. I think back to when I first started at the Bean Project, with the biases and prejudices that I had that I didn't even know I had. I remember thinking that people who were chronically unemployed didn't want to work or that people who went to prison had just made bad choices. It was their fault. It took meeting women and recognizing that, except for the fact that I happen to be born a middle-class white girl in Colorado Springs, there was no difference between us. A woman may have made bad choices, but maybe she had five choices, and they were all bad. She chose the best of the bad. It was being faced with the reality that other people had that wasn't the same as my reality—beginning to understand that except for the grace of God, go I on some level—being open to the idea that each of our own perspectives is one of many perspectives. Being open to this idea that we may not be right is a great way to start in terms of giving grace.By following Tamra's example and advice, you can make giving grace an empowering skill that helps you better serve others. With practice, you can make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Guest ProfileTamra Ryan (she/her):CEO, Women's Bean Project About Women's Bean Project: Women's Bean Project provides job training and employment to women facing significant barriers to work, selling high-quality food products made by these women to support their mission.Website: www.womensbeanproject.com/Twitter Handle: @womensbeanCompany Facebook Page: facebook.com/womensbeanprojectOther URL: www.womensbeanproject.com/subscription/Biographical Information: Tamra Ryan is the CEO of Women's Bean Project, a social enterprise that provides transitional employment while operating a food manufacturing business to women attempting to break the cycle of chronic unemployment and poverty.

ABOUT KELLER HAYES:Program Director, Transportation and Construction Girl™Keller has spent a lifetime representing, supporting and understanding women and girls. Keller holds a minor in Women's Studies from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Keller built the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce (CWCC) to the largest women's chamber in the country. And, she has 15 years in the construction and transportation industry. She has consulted for the US Department of Transportation, the Colorado Department of Transportation, the Utah Department of Transportation and the North Dakota Department of Transportation to provide technical assistance to women owned and minority owned companies.In 2016, Keller looked at the representation of women in transportation and construction. She decided more needed to be done and created Transportation & Construction GIRL. Transportation and Construction GIRL is a pioneering effort in the transportation and construction industry to fill a void in workforce and provide sustainable careers for young women. This past September, Transportation & Construction GIRL Day had 1000 attendees. Six hundred girls came from 30 different schools to experience 50 interactive exhibits and make connections in this industry. One girl left saying, “Thanks for talking to us. I might want to have a job like you.”Keller combines mentoring, shadowing days, and events to open up the transportation & construction industry to young women. One graduate said, “Your work is inspiring and has an impact on people far greater than you'll ever know.”Today there is not only Transportation and Construction GIRL Day, there is also a video library – Superstar Women in Transportation & Construction - of women in the industry that young GIRLS can visit and listen to over 57 women in the industry on how they got started and advice they would give. It is a 24/7 opportunity to “See it to Be it.” Several weeks in the summer, Transportation & Construction GIRL provides Career Weeks for GIRLs. Over one week, girls – ranging from 13 to 20 years old – make five stops to engage with women, ask questions and tour work sites. Each company puts together a day long insight into their company and into the industry.Both U.S. Representative Diana DeGette and U.S. Representative Scott McInnis recognized her with a U.S. Congressional Tribute. The Tribute acknowledged: “As a result of her leadership, business women have become a more powerful force in our city and our state." July 15, 2004 was named “Keller Hayes Day in Denver” by Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper. The proclamation said “Keller Hayes is a role model to other women, encouraging them to achieve more than they thought was possible.” CONNECT WITH KELLER:• Website: https://constructiongirl.org• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TransportationConstructionGIRL• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keller-hayes•YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJtGF-keE3_ib2YNq9XbmIA WAYS TO CONNECT WITH STEFANIE…• Website: https://shebuildshomes.com• Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shebuildsbetter• Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shebuilds.homes• YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/shebuildsshow
Happy Thursday Worthiness Warriors! This week I am joined by Kate Bailey, the founder of TARRA, a coworking space created to change how women connect in all parts of our life. Kate's expertise as an entrepreneur and business owner was cultivated over 20 years of in-the-trenches experience. A former magazine editor and journalist, she left the industry in 2007 to launch a boutique communications and marketing agency, Annabel Media. As Annabel Media grew, Kate discovered that she couldn't find the right resources to truly take her business to the next level, so in 2015, she founded TARRA, TARRA.co, to transform the way women connect business, life, and community. Established in 2015, the platform rapidly expanded to include networking, business education, mentorship, and a growing brand of collaborative membership workspaces. TARRA's first flex office and workspace campus opened at 9+Co in Denver in 2022 and today, the TARRA network is expanding throughout the United States with a mission to create a more inclusive and diverse business community through access to vetted business resources, education, and a powerful network of professional women. Bailey is an active member of the Denver nonprofit community. She is a member of the Empowerment Council of the Women's Foundation of Colorado, held a board position for the Design Council of the Denver Art Museum from 2016-2019, sat on the Small Business Council for the Colorado Women's Chamber of Commerce, was an active board member of the Women's Entrepreneurship Council, and has been an active volunteer for Big Brothers Big Sisters and Children's Health Foundation in Aspen. She is an in-demand speaker and panelist for local business groups on topics ranging from public relations and marketing to women-focused business and entrepreneurship. In 2017, Bailey was highlighted as a rising woman in business by Cherry Creek Lifestyle magazine, named one of the top 100 creatives in Denver by Westword magazine, and has been a featured speaker and panelist at Denver and Boulder Startup Weeks.
