Nanette Euverink was bij Marc van Hal te gast in Doing Good. Zij vindt dat rouw verder gaat dan verlies door de dood; het omvat ook gemis, onvervulde dromen en weggestopte delen van jezelf. Wanneer dit niet wordt erkend, blijven we vastzitten in patronen zoals pleasen en altijd doorgaan. Dit onbewuste verdriet beïnvloedt hoe we in het leven staan. Met Nanette haar JA-methode helpt ze mensen hun gemis onder ogen te zien en te integreren, zodat rouw geen last is, maar een kracht. Zo kunnen ze voluit zeggen: JA, ik kies voor mezelf. Marc ging met haar in gesprek over deze methode. Marc van Hal presenteert elke laatste maandag van de maand het programma 'Doing Good'. Goed voor jezelf, goed voor een ander. Over klein en groot geluk. Hoe haal je het beste uit jezelf en wat kun je voor een ander betekenen? Met dit programma word je uitgedaagd met inspirerende gasten en voorbeelden. 'Doing Good' hoor je elke laatste maandag van de maand tussen 18:00 en 19:00 uur.

What is your superpower? This is the question Gabi Angelini often asks when speaking to audiences. After Gabi faced repeated job rejections, she and her mom, Mary channeled their frustration into purpose, by launching their own business, Gabi's, Powered by Special Abilities. Their venture employs people with unique strengths and celebrates their talents, proving that everyone has a superpower waiting to be unleashed. Through their work, they've created a supportive environment where employees can showcase their capabilities, gain valuable work experience, and develop greater independence. This heartfelt story highlights the incredible bond between a mother and daughter and is a powerful testament to how embracing diverse abilities can lead to both business success and personal empowerment.   Bios:   Gabi Angelini   Advocate Extraordinaire: Empowering Inclusion, Entrepreneurship, and Equality"   Gabi is the co-founder of Gabi's, Powered by Special Abilities, a nonprofit that provides workforce training, education, and other support programs to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to help them secure employment, contribute to society, and live a purposeful, rewarding life.  She is a champion for the Special Abilities workforce and the impact that diversity and inclusion has on the world. After high school graduation, Gabi searched and applied for many positions but no employer would hire her. Not one. Gabi came to learn that 82% of individuals with special needs are unemployed.  Gabi and her mom knew this needed to change.    As a result of this personal experience, together with her mom, Mary Angelini, Gabi co-founded her nonprofit, Gabi's Powered by Special Abilities to help create opportunities for people with Special Abilities. She wanted to help them join the workforce and live a fulfilling and purposeful life.    Today, Gabi's employs 40+ people with Special Abilities and partners with more than 25 companies. Gabi's develops partnerships with logistics companies to fulfill orders through Gabi's PALS (packing, assembling, labeling and shipping). Also, the nonprofit maintains an e-commerce and packaged coffee and products division that features a range of coffee flavors and related products through Gabi's Grounds.    Moreover, Gabi Angelini is an award-winning entrepreneur and has received the following awards and recognitions:   2024:  “Community Champion”: Gabi's Pals, NC Down Syndrome Association   2023: “Women in Business Awards; “Entrepreneur of the Year,” Triangle Business Journal; and “Women Shaping Raleigh,” featured in Raleigh Magazine; NC Women in Business Hall of Fame  2022: “Employer of the Year,” Raleigh Mayor Maryann Baldwin's Committee for Persons with Disabilities  2021: “Founders Award,” Doing Good at Work 2019: “Self-Advocate of the Year,” NC Down Syndrome Association  Gabi maintains strong relationships with the community, her Gabi's PALS team of employees, and her corporate partner clients. She is also co-author of the children's book, “Gabi the Puppy.” In addition, Gabi serves as a champion for people with special abilities and speaks at conferences. Her favorite topic is the importance of diversity and inclusion in the workforce and helping everyone find their own superpower, like she did.   Mary Angelini Co-founder, Gabi's Powered by Special Abilities   Mary is co-founder of Gabi's Powered by Special Abilities, a nonprofit that provides workforce training, education, and other support programs to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to help them secure employment, contribute to society, and live a purposeful, rewarding life.  A personal experience led her to form Gabi's Powered by Special Abilities with her co-founder and daughter, Gabi. After high school graduation, Gabi was unable to secure employment. Literally no one would hire her. Not one person could see her special abilities, just her Down syndrome.   Mary and Gabi were determined to help shift the conversation from disabilities to special abilities, neuro-diversity, and the power of inclusion to help create employment opportunities for people in the IDD community.    What began in 2017 as a small coffee company (Gabi's Grounds) has now grown to include a full-scale packaging, assembling, labeling, and shipping company (Gabi's PALS), as a business solution for mid-to-large manufacturing and logistics companies. In addition, there is a drop-shipping solution for local, smaller companies.    Today, Gabi's Powered by Special Abilities is an award-winning nonprofit organization and has a team of more than 45 people with special abilities including blindness, autism, Down syndrome, and more. Gabi's Grounds continues to provide pop-up shops at local businesses and markets, and offers Gabi's Coffee Club, a subscription membership to businesses and coffee lovers everywhere.    Mary is dedicated to the empowerment of the special abilities community and to help educate the world about the power of diversity and inclusion. She travels with Gabi to speak at corporate events and conferences and help inspire people to see the superpowers in all of us.    Prior to founding Gabi's with her daughter, Mary held positions with IBM and Our Lady of Lourdes church. She enjoys kickboxing and spending time with her husband, six children and their families.

Have you ever looked back at a day in your life, and said "WOW - I Can't Believe I did That!"? In this podcast series, listen to QT2 athletes tell the stories of how they achieved goals that they once never dreamed possible. Season 2, Episode 1 features QT2 Systems athlete Bill Murphy, coached by Hillary Schmitt. In November, Bill will run The Great World Race - seven marathons, on seven continents on seven consecutive days. He will be running to raise awareness and funds for the Make a Wish Foundation. His journey on how he got here is a series of Greatest Moments. Over and over again achieving what he never thought possible. Seventeen years ago, hanging out with friends, he decided that he wanted to run the Boston Marathon. At that time, he had no run training, but the seed was planted and once Bill decides to do something, quitting is not an option. He raced the Boston Marathon in 2008 and again in 2009 and 2010 for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute. After focusing on other life goals, in 2019, he returned to the Boston Marathon, this time for the Make a Wish Foundation. While waiting in the starting area, he struck up conversations with other athletes who shared their stories. From here, he was motivated to do his first IRONMAN Triathlon later that year - even though he didn't own a bike and hand't swam in thirty years. The following year, Bill participated in the Virtual Boston Marathon - on crutches (and nearly set a World Record)!!! Constantly pushing his limits and always finishing what he started, Bill continued to look for bigger challenges. In 2023, he completed his first Ultra - the Sun Up Sun Down 50K. In 2024, he went bigger, participating in the 24 Hour Anchor Down Race. With all of these challenges, Bill also found his Why. Although pushing his limits remained a focus, he also came to appreciate the importance of letting others in and experiencing these journeys together. He found the power of people lifting each other up. His mindset became Change the World. Change the World. Change the World. Change within before you can Change the World. From there, the idea of The Great World Race and Racing for Wishes came about.  If you would like to make a donation to Bill's Great World Race fundraising efforts for the Make a Wish Foundation, follow this link - https://fundraise.givesmart.com/e/n3U8kw?vid=17q6zj&fbclid=IwY2xjawEgqNFleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHUuPzUYYoENOTGYPT7oZZ_hB7skAdjpkE1Imzqnh7Duw8nEYKidI8e0MwA_aem_aLGqrhBellOXP9pn_9xu1Q Feeling motivated by this Podcast?

Paul calls us to be "Devoted to Doing Good" as revealed in Titus 2:11-14 and Titus 3:1-9. God's grace brings salvation, instructing us to turn from godless living and embrace a life filled with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to Him. While our good deeds do not save us, they are a reflection of our faith and a response to God's mercy. We are reminded that by doing good, we uncover our God-given purpose, bring glory to God, and make the gospel attractive to others. Join Dream City Omaha as Pastor John Weasel echoes this challenge to live out our faith by doing good, as it makes our faith useful, and it shapes us to be more like Jesus, who went about doing good and healing the oppressed. By devoting ourselves to good deeds, we not only fulfill God's plans for us but also shine as a testament to His transformative power in our lives. Join us as we delve into these scriptures and uncover the profound impact of living a life committed to doing good.

This week, we're shaking things up by introducing a newcomer to volunteering: Jack Valentino. Jack lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where he attends Belmont University.

Currently, Jack teaches piano to one of these children, helping instill a love of classical music.

In this episode of the Doing Good podcast, we talk with Jill Pratt. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee. Jill is a wife, mom, and the head of The Jiselle Lauren Foundation. This organization provides grants for care not traditionally covered by insurance to families of children with disabilities and aims to “help kiddos with disabilities experience joy.” This cause is very close to Jill's heart as her oldest daughter, Jiselle, has a rare disorder. Following Jiselle's diagnosis, Jill began volunteering and eventually founded The Jiselle Lauren Foundation to help others “who weren't as lucky as we were” along their journey. “Part of it is sharing our story,” she says. “You hope you can be a person of light to somebody going through a tough time,” adding they “want to inspire joy and happiness.” Learn more about this family's journey through The Jiselle Lauren Foundation and check out the Rett Syndrome Research Trust.This podcast is brought to you by Doing Good, a 501c3 nonprofit. www.doinggood.tv.

Are you tired of living your life based on performance? Do you feel like you can never measure up? This powerful message delves into the concept of doing good, not to earn love or salvation, but because we are loved and saved. Join Pastor Ron as he shares his personal struggles and how he found true freedom in Christ. Discover how you can live a fulfilling life by relying on the Spirit of God as you strive to do good.**Key Takeaways:**1. **Doing Good Requires Intention:**   - Good actions don't happen by accident. They require daily commitment and deliberate decisions to follow the Spirit rather than the flesh (Galatians 6:7-8).   2. **Doing Good Pleases the Spirit:**   - While doing good doesn't earn God's love, it does please the Spirit. Our good deeds, fueled by our salvation, reflect the light of Jesus (Galatians 6:8, Matthew 5:16).3. **Doing Good is Often Inconvenient:**   - True service to others can be inconvenient and tiring. Paul reminds us not to grow weary in doing good deeds, as they have eternal significance (Galatians 6:9).4. **Doing Good Has Eternal Consequences:**   - Our actions have lasting impacts, shaping not just our lives but the lives of those around us. Sowing to please the Spirit leads to eternal life, while sowing to the flesh leads to destruction (Galatians 6:8-9).5. **Serve Somebody:**   - You may not be able to serve everyone, but you can always serve someone. Find one person to show love and kindness to, and watch how it transforms both your life and theirs (Galatians 6:10).**Scripture References:**- Galatians 6:7-10- Galatians 5- John 15:5- Matthew 5:16At 2Rivers, our mission is to help you become a passionate follower of Christ so you can experience the life He intended for you and encourage others to do the same. **Don't forget to hit that SUBSCRIBE button to stay updated with our content ⏩.****LIKE ✔️, SHARE

This week, we revisit our conversation with Peter Greer. Peter is the president and CEO of HOPE International, a global Christ-centered economic development organization serving throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Prior to joining HOPE, Peter worked internationally as a microfinance adviser in Cambodia and Zimbabwe and as managing director for Urwego Bank in Rwanda. He received a B.S. in international business from Messiah University and an MPP in political and economic development from Harvard's Kennedy School.  Peter's favorite part of his job is spending time with the entrepreneurs HOPE serves—whether harvesting coffee with farmers in Rwanda, dancing alongside savings groups in Haiti, or visiting the greenhouses of entrepreneurs in Ukraine. As an advocate for the Church's role in missions and alleviating extreme poverty, Peter has co-authored over 10 books, including Mission Drift (selected as a 2015 Book Award Winner from Christianity Today), Rooting for Rivals (selected as a 2019 Leadership Resource of the Year in Outreach magazine), The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good (selected as one of the top 40 books on poverty by WORLD magazine) and Created to Flourish (which his mom reviewed with five stars and a smiley face emoji).  More important than his role at HOPE is his role as husband to Laurel and dad to Keith, Liliana, Myles, and London. While his sports loyalties remain in New England, Peter and his family live in Lancaster, PA.

In this special episode of the Doing Good podcast, we'll get to know Emily Green, the new co-host of this podcast. She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, and is the newest member of the Doing Good team. Emily has had an interesting assortment of volunteer roles throughout her life. From helping out at a local retirement home as a teenager, to her time in a service fraternity in college, to finding her niche in charity event planning, she clearly values variety of experience. In her new role as Doing Good podcast co-host, Emily is looking forward to meeting the different people interviewed and learning about their experiences as volunteers. “My hope is that people who are listening to the episodes are able to open their mind a little bit to what all is out there,” she says, “…and start to kind of think about what they could potentially be doing in their own community.” This is an exciting new chapter for her and for the podcast.

How do prayer and leadership relate to each other? Looking at the lives of some leaders, it seems like prayer is incidental to leadership at best. For others, it's a personal priority that doesn't seem to impact leadership in any obvious way. For still others, prayer is like an on-ramp, preparatory for the work of leadership but largely left behind when the leading begins.  What does Christian leadership that is deeply rooted in a life of communion with God look like? I'll be talking about this today with Peter Greer, one of the authors of Lead With Prayer.  Peter Greer, is the president and CEO of HOPE International, a global Christ-centered economic development organization serving throughout Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe. Under Peter's leadership, HOPE has expanded from working in two to over twenty countries and served over 2.5 million families. Prior to joining HOPE, Peter worked in Cambodia, Zimbabwe, and Rwanda. He has co-authored 15 books, including Mission Drift, Rooting for Rivals, The Gift of Disillusionment, and The Spiritual Danger of Doing Good.____________________________________________________Connect with Alan on LinkedIn or learn more about Unhurried Living programs on their website. Learn more about Unhurried Leaders membership.
