When someone you love is is ill or had died, life feels hard. Yet sometimes we add to our distress by judging how we are feeling or behaving. We feel sad and then we feel critical that we're still sad. We feel angry and then feel guilty that we feel angry.It is the "shoulds" that cause us distress - it doesn't have to be that way.This week I'll share the 3 words that can help reduce your suffering.I'm glad you're here!Deliawww.integrativepalliative.comCoping Courageously: A Heart-Centered Guide for Navigating a Loved One's Illness Without Losing Yourself is available here: www.copingcourageously.com A free guide for physicians to help reclaim your joy at work and in life https://trainings.integrativepalliative.com/pl/2148540010Please review this podcast wherever you listen and forward your favorite episode to a friend!

In this episode of the Rocksolid Families podcast, hosts Linda Hutchinson and her husband discuss the importance of emotional comfort for children. They emphasize the role of parents, caregivers, and educators in providing this comfort, especially during challenging emotional moments. The hosts set the stage for a conversation about how emotional comfort can significantly impact a child's long-term emotional health.•Definition: Emotional comfort is described as the support and reassurance that parents and caregivers provide to children when they are experiencing intense emotions, such as sadness, anger, or frustration.•Importance: The hosts convey that while it is crucial to provide comfort, it is equally important not to over-coddle children. They discuss the balance of creating a safe emotional environment from which children can venture into the “choppy waters” of life.The Need for Emotional Regulation•Understanding Emotions: Children often lack the vocabulary to articulate their emotions. The hosts stress the importance of helping children identify and understand their emotions, which is a vital part of emotional regulation.•Consequences of Poor Emotional Support: Without adequate emotional comfort and regulation, children may struggle with self-soothing and coping mechanisms, leading to long-term emotional difficulties.Introducing the MATS FrameworkThe hosts introduce a simple framework—MATS—to help caregivers respond to children's emotional needs effectively.MATS Breakdown1.M - Mention:Observation: The first step is to acknowledge the child's emotional state by mentioning what you see. For example, stating, “You look really upset right now,” helps the child feel seen and understood.Body Language: Observing body language is crucial; it provides insight into how children  are feeling, especially if they are non-verbal.2.A - Ask:Curiosity: The next step involves asking questions to validate the child's feelings. Encouraging children to express themselves is essential for emotional processing.Avoiding Dismissal: The hosts emphasize that caregivers should refrain from downplaying the child's feelings and instead validate their emotions to help them feel heard.3.T - Touch:Appropriate Connection: The framework includes physical touch, such as hugs or gentle touches, which can offer comfort. However, the hosts advise being cautious with physical contact, especially if it is not a common practice in the household.Creating Comfort: Physical presence can help children feel secure, aiding in emotional regulation.4.S - Stay:Presence: Finally, staying with the child until their emotional needs are met is crucial. This involves sitting in silence if necessary and showing that you are there for them without rushing to “fix” the situation.Long-Term Impact: The hosts stress that this steady presence creates a sense of security and helps children understand that they are not alone in their struggles.https://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity

Original Air Date: December 11, 2017 Born in New York City, Pema Chödrön is one of the first Western women to be fully ordained as a Tibetan Buddhist nun. Pema explains how difficult times can be an opportunity for growth and change if you're willing to embrace the situation and the feelings that come with it. One of the basic Buddhist tenets, Pema says, is that change is constant. "Things are going to keep changing," she says. "If you're invested in security and certainty, then you're not going to feel good a lot of the time."

Embracing Suffering: Finding Strength and Hope in HardshipIn this new Tuesdays with Tata episode, we dive into the heavy topic of suffering, particularly through personal tragedies, and explore how these experiences cultivate endurance, character, and hope.

The episode underscores trusting God in the midst of hardship, the transformative power of suffering, and how to cultivate resilience through faith.Scriptures mentioned: Romans 5:3-5, I Peter 1:5-7.

​In this special 9-year anniversary episode, I'm doing things a little differently. Instead of a guest interview, I'm doing a solocast in which I share nine shifts I've noticed in the parenting paradigm for those of us raising neurodivergent kids over the past almost decade since I first founded Tilt. Some of the things I explore in this episode include the evolution of language within the neurodiversity movement, the increased recognition of dual diagnoses like Autistic ADHD and new identifications such as PDA, how concepts like Polyvagal theory and co-reguation have profoundly changed the ways differently wired children are understood, the importance of centering neurodivergent voices, and much more. * I've put together a special anniversary playlist of the podcast episodes I reference in this episode over on Spotify.

As Jews gather around the seder table for a second Passover with hostages in captivity and an ongoing war, many question how to mark this holiday so closely associated with freedom and renewal. Rabbi Dalia Marx, the Aaron D. Panken professor of Liturgy and Midrash at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Jerusalem, and author of From Time to Time, Journeys in the Jewish Calendar, spoke to KAN reporter Naomi Segal about the seder as a source for reflection and agency.

An ailing Henry VIII reigns from a contested throne. In parallel story lines, The Tudor Prophecy follows two young women, Lady Alice Grantmire and Hester Vaughan, cousins who each suffer greatly from the King's unjust decrees. Lady Alice and her mother are evicted from their estate and take residence in a cottage where they earn a subsistence selling herbal remedies--until they are accused of witchcraft. After being molested by the King, Hester is summoned to her estranged father's home in Wales. There she becomes betrothed to a Welsh bard whose mentor has visions foretelling the ascendancy of Henry's second daughter, Elizabeth. When Hester encounters the eight-year-old Lady Elizabeth, the two forge a relationship whereby Hester can persuade the future queen to temper her own rule with mercy.

What happens when a nation forgets its spiritual foundations? In this thought-provoking episode of the American Soul Podcast, we journey through the critical connection between Christian faith and American liberty that often goes unacknowledged in today's political discourse.The conversation opens with a profound reflection on trust—do we truly trust God when we've surrounded ourselves with modern safety nets like insurance and retirement plans? Using the biblical story of Moses, who left Egyptian luxury for desert uncertainty, we examine how complete dependence on God has become increasingly foreign in our security-obsessed culture.A sobering segment on human trafficking reveals the dark irony of our national conversation: while we continually process historical slavery, we often overlook modern slavery happening through trafficking and abortion. The call for an abolitionist approach—not half-measures—echoes throughout this powerful discussion.The heart of the episode features an examination of Ronald Reagan's transformative 1964 speech "A Time for Choosing," which warned Americans about government overreach decades ago. Reagan's prophetic declaration that "if we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to" resonates even more urgently today as we witness the steady erosion of religious liberty and traditional values.Drawing from John Adams' wisdom that our constitution was designed only for a moral and religious people, we confront an uncomfortable truth: a government "of the people" only works when those people are virtuous. Without Christian principles as our foundation, the American experiment will inevitably fail, regardless of which political party holds power.Join us as we explore what it means to be faithful citizens in an increasingly secular age. Share this episode with someone who cares deeply about America's future, and remember to make time for God today—our liberty depends on it.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

This week, we're sitting down with Rebecca Magee to discuss the importance of seasonal living, the need to honor periods of rest, and how reconnecting with nature can lead to a more thoughtful and invigorating way of life. Rebecca is the founder of Sister Seasons,  an impact company that helps changemakers work with nature's cycles to develop the skills they need to be thriving, regenerative leaders on a rapidly changing planet. With a background in social impact and women's leadership at companies like EILEEN FISHER and Echoing Green, Rebecca explores the deep connections between gender equity and climate change, highlighting how women are disproportionately affected by environmental challenges. She shares insights on embracing natural cycles—both in nature and within ourselves—to foster resilience, avoid burnout, and promote personal and collective sustainability. We really enjoyed this thought-provoking conversation on balance, sustainability, and the wisdom of the seasons–and we hope you will, as well. Show Notes:The Biophilic Leadership SummitSister SeasonsSister Seasons NewsletterField Notes | FREE Introductory Course from Sister SeasonsWintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine MayKeywords: Sister Seasons, gender equity, climate change, menstrual cycles, sustainability, women's wellbeing, regenerative cycles, cultural perspectives, wintering, burnout, winter phase, cycles, leadership, self-care, nature, anxiety, regenerative leadership, mindfulness, cultural reflections, responsive leadershipThe Biophilic Leadership Summit is the only multi-day conference entirely focused on biophilic projects, research & principles, bringing together top industry thought-leaders in an intimate natural setting to network, build partnerships and learn from each other.
