Welcome back to Trump's America and another round of attacks against people with disabilities. In the past week we saw Trump try to blame our community for the crash of American Eagle Flight 534. Trump's comments came less than 48 hours after his administration tried to freeze federal funding for many disability organizations, as well as programs like Medi-Cal and Section 8.  With all this chaos, it's understandable if you want to hide in the bedroom watching reality television for the next four years. Nieta Greene However, this Friday at 2:30 PM, Nieta Greene has another idea! She'll be encouraging people with disabilities to resist Trump‘s policies on KPFA's Pushing Limits program. Green is the founder and CEO of Disability Community for Democracy. She works to get organizations and policymakers to consider the needs of persons with disabilities. This new organization is dedicated to preserving, protecting, and defending liberal democracy and disability rights. On March 1st, the group will host a protest on zoom to push back against Trump's policies. Additionally, the organization advocates alongside public officials to do a better job at encouraging voters with disabilities to run for public office. Plus, we will hear from the next generation of truth-tellers as Josh Elwood interviews people with disabilities who are learning how to produce radio through a KPFA internship program. Thanks to grant support from Berkeley City College, Clayton Pedersen and Jess Hutcheson are gaining valuable work experience in the fields they would like to pursue – music and talk radio. Tune in to hear more! This episode of Pushing Limits is written and produced by Jacob Lesner-Buxton and Josh Elwood. It is hosted and voiced by Denny Daughters. Editing by Dominick Trevethan and Denny Daughters. Relevant Resources: Link to Disability Community for Democracy Also, look for them on Facebook, Instagram, and Bluesky.

With a new administration in office and so much happening politically in the US, we felt it was only right to share resources for our community. Collectively, we are all experiencing so much change, uncertainty, and, for many, injustice. Today's show offers many resources, not to be taken as legal or professional advice but simply as information. Sharing allows us to grow and learn together. As we shared in the show, this is not a time to hide in the shadows. This is a time to come into the light to rise together & inform the most vulnerable of their rights.  We understand our views may not be shared with everyone who listens; as such, we welcome opposing points of view through respectful and productive dialogue.

In this episode we're looking at the impacts of hurricanes Milton and Helene on Florida's tourism economy. Florida is such an important state for tourism that whenever a hurricane slams through it's news. Here, host Rebecca Tobin, hotels editor Christina Jelski and Peter Ricci, the director of the Tourism and Hospitality Management program at Florida Atlantic University, talk about how the recent hurricanes might reshape the tourism landscape on Florida's Gulf Coast. We also discuss short-and long-term impacts to other travel destinations like Orlando and the right kind of marketing messaging that would encourage travelers to return after a storm.  What's the status of tourism in the hard-hit areas of North Carolina? We've added links to the show notes about travel organizations' relief and fundraising efforts.  This episode was recorded Oct. 17 and has been edited for length and clarity. It's important to note that this is a developing story, so any information in this episode about cities or regions might be change as the hurricane recovery process continues.

Welcome to Season 2! In this inspiring episode, I chat with Dianni Hall, a queer solo budget backpacker, digital nomad, and freelance podcast producer, who has been traveling the world for nearly six years. Dianni shares her transformative journey from “burning her life down” to go on her first solo trip to India at 23 to celebrating Pride in São Paulo, and how her travels have deeply shaped her identity and career.

Dianni also discusses her transition into freelance podcast production and offers valuable resources for aspiring digital nomads and queer travelers.

One of the standout lessons is the incredible power of gratitude.  Dr. Nicola explains how simply acknowledging and appreciating your partner's daily efforts can transform your relationship. She shares a beautifully simple practice: make it a habit to say "thank you" for even the little things.

Dr. Widian Nicola and Lauren Abrams uncover the essential role of empathy in building deep emotional connections and fostering mutual respect.

You can strengthen your connections and create deeper, lasting bonds by embracing and addressing these moments with understanding and openness.  “Everything about being free is to be yourself in this world—authentic, genuine, broken, wounded, you know, like crazy, you know, like all the things that make us fully alive and fully human.”– Dr. Nicola, (31:37) Tune in to this inspiring conversation with Dr. Widian Nicola for more insights and practical advice on how to thrive, maintain, and have a healthy relationship!   In this episode: (00:00) The four pillars of healthy relationships (01:49) Manifestation and relationship coaching (04:25) The journey to becoming a relationship expert (10:30) Gratitude as a relationship tool (15:22) Defining intimacy in relationships (18:18) Navigating unconscious processes in relationships (18:43) Patterns and Attachment Theory (21:06) Impact of Historical Reactions (23:54) Conflict Resolution and Play (28:55) Overcoming Challenges and Community   Resources and Links    Weeks of Hope https://www.52weeksofhope.com/        https://www.linkedin.com/in/lauren-abrams-83b8b421/  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyLA7Rb6E0PtKBhPGu1vcjA https://www.facebook.com/52weeksofhope/ https://www.instagram.com/52weeksofhope/ https://twitter.com/52weeksofhope    If you want to start your Podcast Podify - Website    About Dr. Widian Nicola Dr. Widian Nicola is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years of experience.

Homeschooling isn't just a pastoral dream; it thrives amidst the urban jungle of Hartford, Connecticut, too. Chai joins me, Cheryl, to weave her tale of teaching her kids outside the conventional classroom. Together, we debunk the myth that you need a backyard chicken coop to successfully educate your children at home, and instead, we champion the power of intentionality and the treasure troves of community resources like libraries and museums.We often hear about the rigidity of school bells and schedules, but what if learning could dance to the rhythm of a child's innate curiosity? Our conversation illuminates the homeschooling landscape where play and spontaneity are as integral to learning as literacy and math. We're not shying away from traditional schools either; we discuss the strategic chess move that is transitioning back to formal education when it best suits a child's journey, proving that education is not a one-way street.Navigating the homeschooling waters can be tricky, but I'm throwing you a lifeline in our latest episode. Whether you're a seasoned homeschooler or just considering the plunge, join us for an honest look at the flexibility, challenges, and profound rewards that come with taking the helm of your child's education.The Tuttle Twins - use code Cheryl40 for 40% off ages 5-11 book seriesJIBBY MUSHROOM COFFEE - try today with code CHERYL20 for 20% off!Earthley Wellness -  use code HomeschoolHowTo for 10% off your first orderTreehouseSchoolhouse for your Spring Nature Study Curriculum- use promo code: THEHOMESCHOOLHOWTOPODCAST for 10% off entire orderPlease leave a Review for me HERE!PLEASE SHARE the show with this link!
