In the bustling town of downtown Winchester lies the corporate headquarters of Hang 10 Car Wash, a company revolutionizing the car wash industry. Janet Michael, host of The Valley Today, recently sat down with Ashley Farley, Partnership Lead, and Michael Martin, Marketing Director, to uncover what sets this car wash apart from traditional ones. Hang 10 Car Wash is quickly expanding, boasting four locations, including the latest in Front Royal. Michael, with excitement, shared that despite being a 'baby' company, they're revolutionizing the industry with no gimmick pricing and straightforward wash options. They even offer a beloved dog wash, a feature that has garnered them significant attention. Their approach is to offer a greenhouse-like express tunnel where customers can see the quality products like Armor All and Rain-X being used on their vehicles. The company employs twice the number of staff than typical car washes, ensuring a superior customer experience. Ashley and Michael highlighted their commitment to community engagement through various initiatives. Ashley explained their unique fundraising platform that benefits nonprofits and sports teams. By selling their premium Big Kahuna wash, organizations earn $12.50 per sale, creating a significant impact. This platform is favored by many for its ease and effectiveness. Janet reminisced about first meeting Ashley at a local chamber mixer, where the innovative fundraising concept was met with great enthusiasm. Ashley elaborated on the simplicity of the process, providing organizations with all necessary tools, including QR codes and marketing materials. This method has allowed Hang 10 to seamlessly integrate into the community, demonstrating their dedication beyond just washing cars. Contact Ashley via email or phone: 609-500-3917 to learn more. The conversation took a fun turn as they discussed the dog wash feature in detail. Michael described it as a spa-like experience, equipped with hypoallergenic shampoos, conditioners, and even a blow dryer. This premium service is part of the Big Kahuna membership, emphasizing the added value Hang 10 offers. Janet joked about how this service could save many from the chaos of at-home dog baths. Membership at Hang 10 is a true game-changer. With options like the Big Kahuna and Little Kahuna, members enjoy unlimited washes and additional services like the dog wash. The Big Kahuna, priced at just $25 a month, also provides access to vacuum stations and premium cleaning products. Michael proudly mentioned their commitment to customer satisfaction, highlighting the presence of friendly, knowledgeable staff at all locations. In a remarkable show of community support, Hang 10 offers free car washes to local law enforcement agencies, keeping their cruisers pristine. This gesture has been well-received and underscores the company's community-driven ethos. Looking ahead, Hang 10 Car Wash has ambitious expansion plans, aiming to open locations along the 81 corridor and beyond. With this growth, their foundation, donating 1% of sales back to the community, is set to make an even more significant impact. Last year alone, Hang 10 gave $19,000 to local organizations, with more contributions anticipated as new locations are established. Michael and Ashley's enthusiasm for Hang 10's mission is palpable. They highlighted the benefits of owning a membership, especially during harsh winter months when regular car washes are essential to combat salt and grime. The advanced water recycling system ensures environmental responsibility, even amid drought conditions. As the conversation wrapped up, Janet expressed her eagerness to use the dog wash herself. With a focus on superior service, community engagement, and innovative features, Hang 10 Car Wash is not just cleaning cars but also making a difference in the Shenandoah Valley.

The latest podcast episode of Veteran Oversight Now highlights the VA OIG's oversight work during April 2025, including three healthcare facility inspections reports on facilities in Tennessee, New York, and Colorado.   April 2025 Monthly HighlightsEach month, the VA Office of Inspector General publishes highlights of our congressional testimony, investigative work, and oversight reports. In April 2025, the VA OIG published 12 reports that included 51 recommendations. Report topics varied from a review to determine whether claims processors are properly assigning effective dates for PACT Act-related claims to an inspection related to a patient's delayed diagnosis and treatment for lung cancer at the VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System in Topeka and Leavenworth.  VA OIG investigative efforts helped resolved allegations that a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility, Seabrook House in New Jersey, submitted claims to VA's Community Care program and the state's Medicaid program for short-term residential treatment and partial hospitalization care for which it was not properly licensed or contracted and misled state inspectors. In a civil settlement, Seabrook agreed to pay $19.75 million to resolve False Claims Act allegations. Of this amount, VA will receive $19.15 million.  Meanwhile, 12 employees of the Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center pleaded guilty to theft after receiving more than $396,000 in Pandemic Unemployment Assistance benefits by falsifying their applications and failing to disclose their employment and wages earned at VA, and a physician at the Bedford VA Medical Center in Massachusetts was arrested and charged in the District of Massachusetts with the receipt and possession of child pornography.Read the full monthly highlights.   Related Reports:The PACT Act Has Complicated Determining When Veterans' Benefits Payments Should Take EffectDelayed Diagnosis and Treatment for a Patient's Lung Cancer and Deficiencies in the Lung Cancer Screening Program at the VA Eastern Kansas Healthcare System in Topeka and LeavenworthHiring of Claims Processors Generally Met Requirements and the Attrition Rate Remained Steady

Episode 148: Recipes That Heal—Creativity, Courage, & Community Care with Elisa Pérez-Arellano, LMSW What does it take to turn pain into purpose—and how can creativity, food, and cultural traditions transform how we approach mental health? In this episode of The Innovative Therapist Podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of talking with Elisa Pérez-Arellano, LMSW—founder of Inclusive Empowerment Services and the visionary behind Recetas que Sanan (Recipes That Heal), a wellness initiative that reduces stigma and improves access to healing resources. Elisa's story is one of incredible resilience, innovation, and heart. From her lived experiences as an immigrant and survivor of teen dating violence to creating a therapeutic cooking show with her husband, she's inspiring new ways to connect, heal, and build community through authenticity and cultural wisdom. Here's what we cover in this deep, powerful, and inspiring conversation: ✨ Elisa's journey immigrating from Mexico to the U.S. at age 16✨ The trauma and resilience that shaped her as a therapist✨ Why she left traditional systems to build her own bilingual practice✨ The creation of Recetas que Sanan—a cooking show that opens mental health conversations through food✨ How creative expression, storytelling, and joy support healing✨ Why therapists need their own therapy (and how healing enables deeper impact)✨ The importance of speaking out about collective pain and the current political climate A Therapist, Creator, & Courageous Leader After years of working in traditional clinical settings and feeling deeply unfulfilled, Elisa decided to start her own private practice in 2020—right as the pandemic hit. With clarity about her gifts and a drive to create meaningful, culturally responsive care, she launched Inclusive Empowerment Services, LLC. But Elisa's work goes far beyond therapy sessions. As a bilingual public speaker, trainer, and educator, she's passionate about bringing stories, lived experience, and emotional wisdom into schools, businesses, and community organizations. “I knew I had gifts I wasn't using—and I had to do something about it.” Recetas Que Sanan: Recipes That Heal What happens when you combine traditional cooking, storytelling, and emotional education? You get something completely magical—and that's exactly what Elisa created with Recetas que Sanan. This bilingual wellness initiative uses food as a gateway into deeper conversations about mental health and emotional well-being—particularly in Latinx and Spanish-speaking communities where stigma remains high. Cooking intuitively and sharing her personal stories while preparing traditional meals, Elisa helps viewers feel seen, nourished, and safe to explore emotions in a way that feels natural and culturally resonant. “Cooking is my magic. It's where my feelings live—and where connection begins.” From Surviving to Leading with Love Elisa generously shares about her early years in the U.S.—navigating family reunification, language barriers, and role reversal as a teen helping her parents navigate systems. She also opens up about surviving teen dating violence, and how that lived experience fuels her trainings and outreach today. Her commitment to authenticity is woven throughout her work. Whether she's leading a community workshop or filming an episode of Recetas que Sanan, she brings her full, human self—breaking the mold of what a therapist “should” be. “I'm cool. I'm human. I show up as myself—and I want others to feel safe doing the same.” Want to Sponsor Recetas que Sanan? Elisa is currently seeking sponsors to grow her bilingual show and expand access to culturally-grounded mental health conversations. Your support helps cover kitchen rental, ingredients, and tech equipment.

That you're not actually 'too much' or 'too sensitive', but that you are a part of that minority percentage of the population who are more sensitive. Georgie found that discovery to be pivotal. And one of the biggest shifts ? An enhanced capacity to meet herself with compassion. Join me, Erica Webb, host of SelfKind, as I chat with Georgie Druckmann - doula, mother and highly sensitive person - about the impact of putting words to her high sensitivity and what we can all learn through her work as a post-partum doula.We talk about compassion, the importance of community care, and how, as Highly Sensitive People, we can navigate asking for and receiving support.About Georgie Druckmann:Georgia is a mum and postpartum (and previous) birth doula,  living in Naarm/Melbourne. With her relatively recent discovery of being a HSP, many  pieces of how she moves and feels in the world now make so much more sense and she can see how being HSP has made things harder at times but has also been her super power in how she nurtures others through being a doula, mother, partner and friend.Connect with Georgie:https://www.instagram.com/nurture.mummaAbout your host, Erica Webb:Erica Webb is a registered counsellor, somatic exercise coach and highly sensitive person. She supports other highly sensitive people to discover their sensitivity superpowers and more confidently navigate the tricky bits of being a sensitive person in an often insensitive world.Connect with Erica: https://www.ericawebb.com.auhttps://www.instagram.com/ericawebb_selfkindTime Stamps:00:00 Introduction to Highly Sensitive People02:32 Georgie's Journey as a Doula and HSP07:14 Discovering the HSP Trait12:09 The Importance of Self-Compassion18:36 Navigating Motherhood as a Highly Sensitive Person24:48 Understanding the Role of a Doula29:30 Community Care and Asking for Help34:35 The Power of Receiving SupportShare your thoughts with me over on Instagram or via my website.

Let's talk about sex! Sissy has received some confusing feedback from a previous astrology reading, so they join Jessica for some Ghost clarity on the matter. Sex can be many things—hot, confusing, fun, life-changing, burdensome—all the things! Jessica and Sissy go deep and unpack it all.

This week Mars ends its retrograde, and Venus begins one, creating big shifts. Jessica shares the Sabian symbol for the degree that Mars stations direct. By the 27th, there will be a New Moon in Pisces, but not before a challenging conjunction between Mercury and your old pal, Saturn, earlier in the week.

While in talks around opening up their relationship, Nina's partner cheated. Now they have to make the tough decision to work through the pain and salvage the relationship - or move on. Jessica delves into the patterns that brought this listener to where they are.

This week's horoscope is short and sweet, so stay tuned for an extra special segment with Jessica in conversation with Dean Spade (https://linktr.ee/deanspade) about mutual aid and we can come together, for each other.

Valentine is an excellent parent, but it's bringing up a lot of triggers around how she was treated in her childhood, by her own parents. Jessica goes deep on how Valentine can give herself the same grace and structure she offers her children in this heartfelt episode.

The astrology of this week is likely to be pretty rattling as Uranus, the planet of disruption, revolution, and curveballs, runs amok! The full moon in Leo on the 12th forms a T-square to Uranus, and just about anything can happen. It's a very Uranian week in the stars!

Happy Black Love Month on Ghost! No matter how much she reaches out to people, orgs, or groups to offer her support, this listener is stuck! She is constantly following up with people but never seems to find people who want to work with her, even when she receives very positive feedback in terms of her contributions and involvement. What gives? What might be blocking her ability to be more involved in community or creative work with others?

To kick off the 500th episode of Ghost, Jessica speaks on the political nature of her work and this podcast. Then she breaks down the three transits to Chiron, as well as the supportive energies to be found this week in the stars.
