In this engaging conversation, Joy McCarthy shares her personal journey from struggling with health issues to becoming a nutritionist and skincare expert.  She emphasizes the importance of self-worth in health, discusses her experience with rosacea, and highlights the role of diet and lifestyle in skin healing.  Joy also delves into her philosophy on skincare product development, advocating for a simplified routine that prioritizes hydration and skin health.  The discussion concludes with insights on community support and the ongoing journey of health and wellness.   Takeaways Joy's journey into wellness began with her own health struggles. Self-worth is crucial for making lasting health changes. Many people tolerate poor health due to a lack of self-worth. Healing is a continuous journey, not a one-time fix. Diet and lifestyle play significant roles in skin health. Rosacea is a common but often misunderstood condition. Skincare should focus on hydration and maintaining the skin barrier. Natural products can still irritate sensitive skin if not chosen carefully. Community support is vital for health and healing journeys. Simplifying skincare routines can lead to better results.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 04:20 Joy's Healing Journey 07:19 The Role of Self-Worth in Health 09:57 Navigating Skin Health and Rosacea 12:35 Understanding Rosacea and Its Challenges 16:57 The Impact of Diet and Lifestyle on Skin 19:38 The Journey to Finding Effective Skincare 22:34 Conclusion and Final Thoughts 30:13 The Journey to Healing Skin 33:41 The Importance of Holistic Approaches 34:29 Understanding Skincare Ingredients 40:25 Simplifying Skincare Routines 46:33 Aging Gracefully and Compassionately 49:36 Life Lessons and Personal Growth   Stay Wild.

In today's episode of the Hardcore Self Help Podcast, I sit down with psychologist, professional speaker, and author Dr. Matt Zakreski to explore the concept of neurodiversity and how to create a more supportive world for neurodivergent individuals. Drawing from both personal and professional experiences, Dr. Matt shares his journey as someone who is gifted and ADHD, and how that shaped his understanding and advocacy for neurodivergent folks. We discuss what neurodiversity truly means, highlight differences between neurotypical and neurodivergent brains, and break down why it's crucial to avoid framing neurodivergent individuals as “failed neurotypicals.” Dr. Matt provides practical strategies for understanding executive functioning challenges, improving communication, and fostering more inclusive environments both in schools and in everyday life. Whether you're neurodivergent yourself, raising a neurodivergent child, or simply looking to become a better ally, this episode is packed with insights and guidance to help you understand, accept, and celebrate neurological differences.

This episode does come with a listener discretion as we dive into fetal demise in detail so healthcare professionals can be prepared for this experience and have evidence-based ways to support their patients in times of loss.    Guest Bio: Heidi has been in the OB world for over a decade which has been filled with the most incredible, happy, and heartbreaking experiences.

Today, we're diving into a topic that's both challenging and transformative. Our guest today is Dawn Albert, CEO and founder of Courage to Answer, a coaching business dedicated to helping white people build racial resilience so they can be true advocates for racial equity. She shares her views on understanding and unlearning the biases that shape people's identities, particularly as people with privilege. Dawn's story is one of courage and growth. She shares how unconscious biases influence our lives. And she outlines her simple yet deeply profound techniques for how to combat your own unconscious biases on your own. Together, we'll discuss how bringing hidden thoughts to light can lead to meaningful change—not just within ourselves, but in the world around us. We'll also explore how to step into greater self-awareness with kindness and compassion. And why self-love is about acknowledging the thoughts we've inherited, sitting with them, and choosing to grow from them. | ABOUT THE PODCAST: This minimalist wants more.

“Regardless of those people who depend on you, it is possible for you to be true to who you are. Compassionately, ruthlessly true to who you are. . . true to the open heart.” The most common question Gangaji receives at the end of a retreat is, “How can I trust myself to be true to the truth of who I am while living my daily life?” How do we raise children, pay the bills, go to work, or sustain a marriage and be true to who we are? Is it really a question of trust? In this episode, Gangaji speaks to what is actually closer, and more essential than trust.   Learn more about Gangaji, her schedule of events, and programs at gangaji.org. 

Have you ever had a person you deeply care about go through a terrible loss and you didn't quite know what to say or how to help? In our culture here in the United States, grief is so misunderstood. People often are very well-intended, but say things to their friends, co-workers, and family members in an effort to help that ultimately leads to greater isolation for the person in grief. In this week's episode, Elizabeth Mintun shares the “do's” and “don'ts” on how to best support someone experiencing intense grief. She offers details and actionable steps that will hopefully support anyone wanting to be there for someone who is currently grieving. Key Takeaways: Advice-giving and attempting to “cheer someone up” is typically not helpful (and even potentially damaging) to someone in the grieving process. Everyone's experience of grief is unique; one person's grief cannot be compared to another's. Offering to step in either to simply compassionately listen or to offer acts of service to lighten the load for the griever tends to be the most helpful. Telling a griever to “call me if you need me” isn't usually helpful because that puts the work on the griever to reach out at a time when they're exhausted and in survival mode.

Episode Summary: Susan Duke's entrepreneurial journey began in her mother's retail business, planting the seeds of her desire to own a business. Despite initially majoring in business administration, she found her true passion in English and history, eventually leading her to pursue a law degree. Her early legal career was fraught with challenges and a lack of mentorship, but she took a leap of faith to start her own law practice, which quickly became successful. Susan's experiences have taught her the importance of trusting her gut instincts, strategic financial planning, and fostering a strong company culture, all of which have shaped her resilient and adaptive entrepreneurial mindset.   Here's what to expect this episode:  Seeking mentorship and guidance from legal professionals is crucial for entrepreneurship success. Building a strong company culture and hiring based on values are key to maintaining a successful business. Believing in abundance rather than scarcity is important for long-term business growth and success. Financial planning and strategic growth are essential elements in building a successful law practice.    Core values and Three Unique's can differentiate a business in a competitive market and shape its reputation and future growth.   Connect with Susan Duke: https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-duke/   Connect with Stas Balanevsky: https://www.eosworldwide.com/stas-balanevsky

Have you ever experienced a downward spiral? Those moments that knock you off course, and then it's all downhill from there?  We all have our triggers that can set things in motion... what we don't always realize is the spiral can be traveled in two different directions.  In this episode we're going to talk about spiraling up, not down, and how understanding the spiral nature of our own growth can help us live with more compassion for ourselves and others. 

Welcome back to my new series “I'm the problem, it's me,” where I call bullshit on myself for the self-sabotage and mistakes I keep on making, because that's the stuff that teaches us the most. Today is a vulnerable one. Remember that recent “show me you at 21” trend that circulated on social media? Well that deep-dive through old photo albums and Facebook timelines sent me into a certifiable spiral. Reflecting on who I was in my teens and early 20s, I was confronted with a tidal wave of self hate over how I looked and dressed, how much I drank, how obnoxiously and overly-sexualized I present myself, and how disconnected I seemed to be from who I really am.The judgment and shame towards my past self was overwhelming, until I realized that my current self is in fact the problem. It's easy to be critical in hindsight, but when we were young, we were almost always doing the best we could with what we knew. I've spent a good chunk of adulthood resenting the versions of myself that came before this one. So it's me, Gill, I'm the problem, it's me. And in today's episode I'm rewriting my relationship with my past, and choosing compassion. Join me as I dive into: Why looking into my past brought up so much shame How accepting our past selves can lead to more confidence and compassion Aiming for neutrality and acceptance VS unconditional self-love The power of inner child work The tools I'm using to build self-compassion and change my self-talk Why you should write letters to your past self Learning from the versions of ourselves that we've outgrownWhy growth and change can go hand-in-hand with griefI hope we can all learn to love the past eras that brought us to this one, and in the meantime, know that I love you. Our show is produced by:Gillian Berner, Host, Producer & EditorOlivia Nashmi, Audio EngineerKyla Killackey, Digital EditorCarolyn Schissler, Designer & Web ProducerFor advertising and sponsorship inquiries, please contact Frequency Podcast Network.

Generosity - Giving more of something of value or virtue, than is strictly required or expected.Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God. Hebrews 13:16 ESVWhen someone has been given much, much will be required in return; and when someone has been entrusted with much, even more will be required. Luke 12:48 NLTGenerous living and giving are how we operate as a family at 828 Church.And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. Acts 2:44-45 NLTBring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do,” says the LORD of Heaven's Armies, “I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won't have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test! Malachi 3:10 NLTBy giving yourself completely to GodThe earth is the LORD's, and everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. Psalm 24:1 NLTWhen you belong to God, everything you are and have is His. We want you to know, brothers, about the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part. For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints, and this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us. 2 Corinthians 8:1-5 ESVGenerosity is the only right response to the limitless love we have been given by God. Strategically - Generosity requires strategic and intentional choosing. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace. 1 Peter 4:10 ESV One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want. Proverbs 11:24 ESVThe generous will prosper; those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. Proverbs 11:25 NLT The more we try to hold on to what we have the less we have to hold on to.If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake and for the sake of the Good News, you will save it. Mark 8:35Confidently trusting in GodDon't worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?' These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:31-33 NLT Without Jesus wealth is not a treasure, it's trouble.You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don't give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.” 2 Corinthians 9:7 NLTGenerosity has more to do with our faith than our finances. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.” 2 Corinthians 9:8-9 NLTCompassionatelyUnless your heart is engaged in your giving you won't give for long. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion, how can God's love be in that person? 1 John 3:17 NLT Unconditionally - Surrender is the only path to true Christ-centered generosity. For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. 2 Corinthians 9:10 NLTTo live generously is live and give your life back to the God who gave you life in the first place.

As BCBAs, part of our job is to target challenging behavior. Here, we discuss how to do so in a compassionate way so that our learners feel safe. Sometimes, our learners just need our empathy and support after a rough day. As behavior analysts, we have to shift our focus from a follow-through perspective to how to best support those we work with. The best solutions to challenging problems often come from providing a safe, welcoming environment.Having a trauma-informed approach is key, and pushing through sometimes makes challenging behaviors worse. Creating the foundation of a solid relationship should come before we place any real demands on our learners. Our conversation includes how to reframe our perspective to a more compassionate approach, how to build trusting relationships, and how to make environments more enriching and fun.What's Inside:How to create a safe environment for our learners.How to make the learning environment more enriching and fun.How to reframe our perspective to a more compassionate approach.Mentioned In This Episode:HowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on InstagramEpisode 061: 7 Steps to Instructional Control with Robert Schramm

President Biden sets off on a two week blitz of rural America to shore up support ahead of 2024; Many wonder how Hamas came to control Gaza. Steven Hill says it all began during their last election in 2006; And Rabbi Brad Hirschfield explains how we can have compassion while defending morality during war. 

James 2:14-26 New International Version Faith and Deeds 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my faith by my deeds. 19 You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder.

We are called to love others. Jesus demonstrated this. It is one of the main markers of a true believer. It is easy to talk and think about loving others, but the fruit is measured by action. This is where the rubber meets the road. In this episode, we look at what true kindness is—that giving ourselves to others doesn't obligate them to us. It is a sacrifice to God.

James 2: 8-9; 12-13 New International Version 8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

*Vocab below Hi everyone, I hope you're all really well. Today I'm going to be talking to Adam about a really important topic; psychology and mental health. We actually recorded this episode last year (apologies for the delay in publishing) just before Adam made a very long and difficult journey from Gaza to the Netherlands in order to start his studies at Han University. I'm mentioning this a) because Adam is a remarkable person b) he is currently running a GoFundMe to support his studies in International Social Work. Adam has been blind all of his adult life, but this has never stopped his determination, especially for helping others with disability. He is studying International Social Work in order to be able to develop a career in this field in order to have a positive impact. As he is in some financial difficulties at the moment he is fundraising to support his tuition fees and living expenses for the next few years.

How do I love myself? This is a question I get asked A LOT… Today you're going to learn how to begin the process of LOVING YOU. Consciously. Compassionately. Consistently. Are you ready to get an A+ in LOVE? LOVE. Loving yourself. It seems like it would be so natural, right? It was at one time, but like many natural, healthy things…life has a way of teaching us the opposite. These 6 Keys will help open up the door of your heart, and release the chemistry of your INNATE SELF LOVE. Think of it as showing love THROUGH yourself. Will it be pure? Unapologetic? Unashamed? Naked? Unafraid? Unconditional? Here's how it can be... Key #1- Acknowledge YOU and the love you desire. Key #2 - Ask YOU for the love you desire. Key #3 - Give love to yourself. Key #4 - Act on it. Act with it. Take massive loving action. Key #5 - Accept love from yourself. Allow yourself to receive it (receive YOU), my dear! Key #6 - Abundance. Receive abundantly and act abundantly in love with it. WHAT CHANGE DO YOU DESIRE? Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.) TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP: Take an inventory of where you're accepting or pursuing anything that's not what you desire. Write down anything that you're accepting in your life…but it's NOT what you desire. Write down anything that you're pursuing in your life (possibly unconsciously) that's NOT what you desire. Commit today to LET IT GO, and commit to passionately pursuing what you DO DESIRE. Passionately pursue YOU. Love yourself for a change… And create what happens! I can't wait to hear about what happens next.

As we begin to wrap up our week on being used by God, today we'll explore what it means to live compassionately. This radical way of living will transform the people around you and expose them to the beautiful nature of Jesus. After we experience his great compassion for us, may we have no choice but to mimic that with others. Our Scripture for today comes from Ephesians 4:32, and today's worship is I am Loved by Mack Brock.  -- Thank you so much for listening to today's devotional.  As you head out into the rest of your day, seek to maintain an open heart with others around you. One of the most helpful realizations in having compassion for others is that we judge ourselves by our intentions, and others by their actions. Try and see past the words and actions of others today, to look at their heart. And as you live openly today, allow the vision to the heart to produce true compassion.    Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe. Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
