In this episode, we speak with Allison Hardman, a single madre of two, who said EFF IT and left a marriage of 14 years behind her because of how toxic it was to her and her kids. She took a sign from the universe to get out of what she had intuitively felt was not right for her and her kids to stay in any longer. And, once she got out, she did things that she never would have done had she stayed in something that wasn't serving her. It's through these EFF IT moments where we build resilience, and you should be damn proud of taking those steps in finding what works and doesn't work for you. Just EFFing trust your gut, do what you love, and choose joy in everything that you do. To follow Allison's journey, please follow her on Instagram at @alliinwanderlust. And, if you're in Austin, go check out one of her yoga classes at @blackswanyogaaustin.

Judy Matautia is the Training Coordinator with the American Samoa Alliance against Domestic &Sexual Violence. She is in charge of developing training and curriculum for Tutuila’s community education regarding domestic and sexual violence. She thrives when connected with people who may not have the same belief systems, but they are authentic in learning and making a change. Finding the connections in ideology and practice are critical for the work she does. She enjoys sharing in narratives that promote learning within her community. In a community that is primarily Samoan, she teaches Western perspectives, (i.e. restorative justice) to translate into current traditional practices such as Pulega Nu’u (Village Council) made of our matai’s who practice restorative justice in the village setting. She has great appreciation for the Samoan language as she applies Western thoughts to the Fa’aSamoa, to ensure there is a connection to our people. She is an artist in every sense of the word. When not working at the Alliance she is creating her jewelry line called Jual Jems. She draws and teaches women how to sew and do eleis to help support their families. The joy is in watching the creation of art,healing thru the arts, and the impact it has on the world. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to the United States Census Bureau, nearly 1 in 5 people in the United States have a disability. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that in the U.S., 27.1 percent of years lived with disability (YLDs) are caused by mental and behavioral disorders. In other words, we are continually interacting with individuals with physical, mental, and emotional disabilities within our local communities, including our churches. The Bible tells us that “the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor” (1 Corinthians 12: 2-23), yet these “less honorable” individuals are often missing from our communities, if not ignored and rejected altogether by local churches. This presentation will look at mental health and disability from a biblical perspective and discuss the ways the Lord uses mental health and disability for His glory. We will share challenges and joys in helping and treating individuals with mental health and disability. We will share the spiritual lessons the Lord has taught us through our work as Christian health professionals in our respective work places. We hope to raise awareness of mental health and disability and to encourage and challenge fellow Christians.
