Send us a textEver wondered why some brilliant minds struggle with reading, writing, or math? What if the key isn't trying harder, but learning differently?Dr. Emily Levy, founder of EBL Coaching, takes us into the world of multi-sensory learning strategies that transform education for students with diverse learning needs. Drawing from her twenty-one years of experience and childhood immersed in special education (her mother founded a school for students with learning disabilities), Dr. Levy shares how targeted, research-based approaches help students not just overcome challenges but discover their unique strengths."Every child, even if they struggle tremendously in school, has gifts," explains Dr. Levy. Her organization's one-on-one tutoring programs serve students from preschool through adulthood, addressing dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, ADHD, autism, and other learning differences. Through success stories—like the severely struggling student now studying engineering at Georgetown—we see how proper support creates life-changing outcomes.Parents will find practical advice for identifying learning challenges early, from difficulties with letter recognition to math fact memorization. Dr. Levy also addresses adult learning needs, explaining how workplace demands often trigger adults to seek help for long-unaddressed learning difficulties. The conversation explores summer learning strategies, from specialized programs to everyday opportunities like baking (measuring teaches fractions) and journaling to maintain skills between school years.This episode offers invaluable insights for parents, educators, and anyone interested in how multi-sensory approaches can transform learning. Whether you're supporting a child who's struggling or looking to enhance your own learning capabilities, you'll discover why building on strengths while addressing challenges creates the foundation for lifelong success.Have you noticed learning challenges in your child or yourself?

Join Karen this week as we sit down with Dr. Emily Levy, founder and director of EBL Coaching, to explore the complexities of reading comprehension, a skill crucial for learners of all ages. While phonics and decoding often dominate discussions around reading challenges, Dr. Levy highlights the often-overlooked significance of comprehension, explaining that it's the very essence of why we read. Tune in to learn about common signs parents notice when their children struggle with comprehension and how these challenges often emerge as students transition from "learning to read" to "reading to learn." Dr. Levy shares actionable strategies, such as the tri-colored highlighting method, which helps students become active readers by identifying topics, main ideas, and key details. From auditory techniques for younger learners to practical interventions for high school students tackling complex subjects, Dr. Levy emphasizes the importance of tailored, research-based approaches, and she also addresses how attention challenges like ADHD can compound comprehension issues and offers ways to adapt strategies accordingly, so whether you're a parent, educator, or simply curious about enhancing reading skills, this episode provides valuable insights into fostering a lifelong love of reading and learning. Show Notes: [1:52] - Many students struggle with reading comprehension, especially during the grade 3 to 4 transition. [4:25] - Research-based strategies like tri-colored highlighting help students actively engage and comprehend material. [6:30] - Emily discusses how younger students benefit from auditory-focused comprehension strategies, while older students apply strategies to coursework.

[10:21] - With the right methods, most students show reading progress within a month, aided by multimedia tools. [12:29] - Dr. Levy argues that active reading strategies improve focus and comprehension but are customized for each child's needs.

This Monday Lisa Dettmer we will look at the security of our election system with our guests Emily Levy and Marilyn Marks who are working to make our election system more transparent and secure. While happily the polls show support for Harris as stronger than Biden's were and gaining on Trump in swing states there are still ways the Republicans are working hard to manipulate this election. MSNBC has recognized that the Republican's are planning election manipulation especially in swing states and has been covering problems with concerns about potential certification delays a lot recently, but around the country election systems that are not verifiable and transparent are in jeopardy of being hacked or subverted and this is especially true in In Georgia which is an essential swing state , and where the ‘Biggest Election Breach' in History Has Gone Uninvestigated. Recently the non profit non partisan paper NOTUS covered this breach writing “It's been more than three years since a team of Republican officials engaged in a covert operation to illegally access a rural Georgia county's electronic elections system and appear to have made off with sensitive computer information — after briefing Donald Trump on aspects of that plan in the White House .Yet no one — not the feds, not state elections officials, not even local law enforcement — has ascertained exactly what happened in Coffee County, Georgia, a rural patch of the politically deep red American South.” And this is only the tip of the ice berg of election fraud possibilities in Georgia and many other states including California that don't have a way to verify votes or have enough poll workers to make sure the system works fairly”. . So today we talk to two women who are working on voter transparency. Emily Levy is the Executive Director of Scrutineers.org, a progressive, nonpartisan online community dedicated to fair, transparent, accessible, and secure elections. An activist for over 50 years, Emily has been a leader in the election transparency movement dating to 2004 and specializes in helping members of the public understand election technology and security issues and to become active in the movement And Marilyn Marks is the Executive Director of Coalition for Good Governance, a non-partisan non-profit organization dedicated to transparent government and evidence-based elections. Marilyn is the driving force behind the much-watched Curling v. Kemp lawsuit against Georgia's election officials to rid the state of unverifiable, touch screen electronic equipment. And You can get more information from Marilyn Marks about her work in Georgia around election transparency at Marilyn@uscgg.org and for the group go to https://coalitionforgoodgovernance.org/ If you want to weigh in with Georgia's State Election Board to encourage a transparent verifiable election in Georgia, let Marilyn know and she will send you some recommended messages. You can hear the show live at 94.1FM or at www.kpfa.org where the show is streaming and will be available afterward to stream and download at Women's Magazine's archives at kpfa.org And we will talk to Aida Touma-Sliman who is a Feminist Activist, Israeli Palestinian Politician and Palestinian Citizen of Israel Touma-Sliman is a member of the Israeli Knesset representing Hadash which is the Democratic Front for Peace and Equality), and an Arab-Jewish party. She was first elected in 2015 and served as the first Arab chair of the Knesset statutory Committee for the Status of Women and Gender Equality till 2022. MK Touma-Sliman was the first woman to serve in the High Follow-Up Committee for Arab Citizens of Israel and is Co-founder of the International Women Commission for Just Palestinian-Israeli Peace. She is also a secretary member of the World Peace Council. Aida was suspended from the Knesset last year for criticizing the Israeli military assault on Gaza. Despite endless attacks by the mainstream Jewish media and right wing politicians in Israel Touma-Sliman recently initiated in the Knesset a special session titled “Recognition of a Palestinian State – Why Now? In order to begin discussion of a two state solution for Palestinians for which she and her supporters were verbally attacked by right wing Knesset members. But still she keeps on fighting for peace for Palestinians. The post Aida Touma-Sliman on Palestine and Gaza and Emily Levy and Marilyn Marks on Election Transparency appeared first on KPFA.

OverviewLast episode as of Dec 2023Emily Ana Levy is a distinguished social impact entrepreneur, renowned patient advocate, healthcare Key Opinion Leader, and acclaimed international public speaker. Emily's journey led her to co-found Mighty Well in 2016. It's a startup driven by her personal experiences as a patient grappling with chronic neurological Lyme disease and autoimmune conditions, along with the challenges of managing vascular access devices. Mighty Well's direct-to-patient brand offers innovative medical products and comprehensive digital learning on vascular access, empowering patients to confidently navigate their health journey. With an unwavering commitment, Levy and her team have successfully launched seven adaptive medical products, notably the Class 1 FDA-registered PICCPerfect® Pro. Emily and Mighty Well's impact has been featured across various media outlets such as The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Who What Wear, The Boston Globe, PBS, Forbes, and more. In 2021, inspired by her transformative healing journey in the Amazon and stepping into her gifts as a seer, medium, and deathwalker, Emily established Hamsa Healing. In her practice, she is dedicated to facilitating clients in experiencing profound healing practices from the Amazon and the spiritual realm — practices that played a vital role in saving her life and putting her chronic illnesses into remission. Currently residing in Providence, the heart of the Ocean State of Rhode Island, Emily finds solace in cold water plunges that invigorate her senses and ground her in the present moment. She cherishes moments at home with her two adopted poodles, a warm blanket, and a cup of tea; valuing introspection over bustling networking events. Emily remains devoted to self-discovery, eager to share her insights with folks who, like her, have felt marginalized within a business and medical system that often overlooks their needs for visibility, understanding, and validation. What started as an entrepreneurial journey to 'turn sickness into strength' has now become one of learning strength from sickness.Key LinksMighty WellDr. Casey Kelley on UP - Ep 118TakeawayTune in as Emily shares:* that she'd blocked out a memory of being bitten by a tick at the age of six; she was bitten again at the age of 12, alongside having confirmed EBV* what her initial symptoms were like* how she was overlooked because of her age and gender — and initially put on birth control to control her “hormones”* that she finally found a Lyme-literate NP in her home state when in college — and received the diagnosis of Lyme and tick-borne illnesses at the age of 19* her additional diagnoses: POTS/dysautonomia, Hashimoto's disease, CIDP (chronic inflammatory demyelinating neuropathy), C-PTSD, and Gilbert's syndrome* that she went to see Dr. Casey Kelley after hearing her episode of the show!* how her lived experience informs the creation of adaptive devices and wearables for Mighty Well* how she was able to embody her identity as a disabled person — coming from a family of athletes* that she had a lot of Lyme support in college, but also felt “othered” in the sense that she had to advocate for her health for the first time* what a typical day was like for her before remission* her rumination on the invisibility of her diagnoses — and their few visible signifiers, which included her PICC line and chest port, as well as her occasional use of a cane* how exhausting it can be to tell people your life story when you live with invisible illness and have to provide validation to others* the epidemic affecting women in healthcare: acute infections, especially those presenting with multiple and varied symptoms — and how important it is to listen to and include women, both in treatment and in research* how her family background in textiles informed the Mighty Well product line* her advice for fellow spoonies and entrepreneurs* why living near the water is so important for her* that she has trained her dog, Olive, as a medical alert service animal* her belief that ketamine therapy saved her life, with regard to the diagnosis of C-PTSD* her endorsement of plant medicines and herbs, and why she has moved in that direction where her ongoing treatment is concerned Get full access to Uninvisible Pod at uninvisiblepod.substack.com/subscribe

COUNT(Y) THE VOTE w SCRUTINEERS; SAVE THE COURT IN WISCONSIN; JAIL THE TRAITORS FROM 1980 Our GREEGREE #130 begins with the great EMILY LEVY and the new county-based rapid result vote count program she has just unveiled. With new computer software aiming to quickly and accurately count votes on the county level Emily hopes to avoid the impact of inevitable election inaccuracies. We then visit the all-important April 4 Wisconsin state Supreme Court race could hold the key to the 2024 presidential and Congressional elections. Abortion rights, gun laws, gerrymandering and voting right are all at stake in a race where in many cases over 90% of the electorate is unaware of the upcoming vote. Emily emphasizes the need to join with the Center for Common Ground to do phone banking and other grassroots work to up the turnout. With TATANKA BRICCA, LARRY BENSKY and more we then plunge into the newly confirmed 1980 OCTOBER SURPRISE treason by which Ronald Reagan took the White House. Long considered a fringe “conspiracy theory,” Texas pol Ben Barnes has recently underscored that Team Reagan did in fact promise the Iranians that if they kept American hostages until after the voting, Reagan would give them a “better deal.” The hostages were in fact released precisely as Reagan was inaugurated, and there is no longer any doubt how that happened. Larry then reveals hard evidence that Ron DeSantis participated in actual torture during his “service” at Guantanamo Bay. WENDI LEDERMAN and CAROLINA AMPUDIA follow with a laundry list of the increasingly fascistic policies of DeSantis's Florida regime. We will follow next week with more on this crucial Wisconsin election….and with the far right shift of the DeSantis juggernaut. For the second hour of today's show we take off from HEIDI HUTNER's new WOMEN OF THREE MILE ISLAND and go deep into the nuclear power issue in anticipation of the March 28 anniversary of the 1979 accident. To hear that presentation, check out www.electionprotection2024.org. And we'll see you next week!!!
This week, we'll learn more about the benefits of webbing and mind mapping for children with specialized learning needs. During my recent conversation with a multisensory coach, she shared how she tutors children with dyslexia, ADHD, and other learning disabilities, which, interestingly, is a lot similar to my approach. Our guest for this week runs a reading coaching service called EBL Coaching, which tutors over 2000 people across multiple locations in the United States. Dr. Emily Levy has got a master's degree in special education, and a doctorate in general education, and has been in the world of remediating reading and writing and special education for the last 20-plus years.

MINNESOTA ATTORNEY-GENERAL KEITH ELLISON ON FAIR & SANE ELECTIONS Our GREE-GREE #110 opens with EMILY LEVY with the latest report on Scrutineers on critical training and information on election protection. We are then joined by the legendary KEITH ELLISON, Attorney-General of Minnesota and lead prosecutor in the legendary George Floyd case. Keith is a former multi-term US Representative and Vice-Chair of the national Democratic Party.

DANNETT ABBOTT, MYLA RESON, PAUL SHERMAN, CYNTHIA PAPERMASTER and others chime in to this fantastically hopeful and powerful course of action for greening all of Los Angeles & ALL the world's cities..

Emily Levy is the 27-year-old visionary female entrepreneur and co-founder of Mighty Well. Mighty Well is a medical wearables company that grew from a vascular access equipment company (PicPerfect) to a community that has defined the Adaptive Fashion industry. Ms. Levy's journey to CEO of a venture capital backed category king began when she was bitten by a tick at the age of 6. For the following 6 years, untreated Lyme disease presented as chronic illness without a diagnosis until the end of Ms. Levy's first year of college. The many trials faced by Ms. Levy and her 2 best friends and caregivers during their collective college experiences became the inspiration for the three to start a movement “to change the perception of patients from victims to fighters.” If you would like to learn more about how functional and stylish apparel, accessories and medical wearables were manifested by Lyme disease and the love that developed between 3 college classmates, then tune in now!

Across much of the U.S., people age 16 and over are now eligible to be vaccinated for COVID-19. But what about younger children? Children under 16 are not yet eligible to receive any of the COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved for emergency use in adults, and public health experts explain that children will need to be vaccinated for COVID-19 to reach herd immunity and stop the spread of the virus. Clinical trials in adolescents and young children are underway on Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. This week, Pfizer reported promising early results. Johnson & Johnson also is exploring conducting clinical trials with children. This all begs the question: When will those under 16 be able to be vaccinated for COVID-19? This edition of the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast features an #AskMayoMom episode hosted by Dr. Angela Mattke, a pediatrician at Mayo Clinic Children's Center. Joining Dr. Mattke to discuss COVID-19, vaccines and children are Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, a pediatric infectious diseases physician, and Dr. Emily Levy, a pediatric critical care and infectious diseases expert — both from Mayo Clinic.
THE WAR FOR VOTING RIGHTS GOES DEEPER DOWN: ARIZONA, GEORGIA THE HOUSE & SENATE Today's exploration into the escalating war over voting rights starts with zoom reports from EMILY LEVY and LULU FRIESDAT. JOHN BRAKEY updates us on the insane lawsuits over millions of actual paper ballots in Arizona. Nationally syndicated journalists BOB KOEHLER and DENNIS BERNSTEIN check in. Then we hear in great depth and importance from RAY MCCLENDON, Political Director of the Atlanta NAACP, on the scorched Earth attack by Georgia Republicans. We end with an historic accounting from BURT WIDES, legendary Congressional staffer and attorney. Burt's 50-year career with Senators like Edward Kennedy and Frank Church make him a true natonal treasure; his detailed, painstaking explanations of legislative challenges are not to be missed. NOTE: our PRN slot for this Grassroots Election Protection zoom #44 ends at the hour; however there's another 30+ minutes you can find at the Zoom Archive at www.electionprotection2024.org.
DC STATEHOOD & THE S-1 / HR-4 SHOWDOWN The national uproar over voting rights and American democracy has escalated to a fever pitch. Throughout the nation, right wing Trump Cultists are working state by state to prevent citizens of youth and color from voting. Federally, the Omnibus Voting Rights bill HR-1 is now S-1, having passed the House. We're joined by PROFESSOR GLORIA TINUBA for a broad overview of what's happening with these two critical bills and how income inequities in America are at the root of so many of our problems. We're also joined by CHARLES MOORLAND & EUGENE KINLOW of the DC Statehood movement. As key activists at the core of the struggle, they explain how “No Taxation Without Representation” is the critical key to getting full rights for some 800,000 American citizens who are essentially being held in colonial status. With JOEL SEGAL, LULU FRIESDAT, EMILY LEVY, HOWIE HAWKINS, DR. LORA CHAMBERLAIN and other great activists, we cover the ground in this critical times. Join Us! And please note that this discussion went on for a long time beyond our allotted hour. If you've tuned in and want to stay with us after 5pm eastern, go to www.electionprotection.org to get the link for the rest of the recorded session.
VOTING RIGHTS UNDER FIRE….& FIGHTBACK WITH HR-1& HR-4….PLUS DC STATEHOOD The Trump GOP cult has lost the American electorate. Citizens of youth and color have hugely rejected the party. Millennials in 2020 voted more than 60% against Trump; Zoomers even higher. So Republicans nationwide are reverting to Jim Crow by severely restricting voting rights and accessibility. On our Grassroots Election Protection call #42, RAY MCCLENDON of the Atlanta NAACP and co-convenor JOEL SEGAL explain the nightmare now being perpetrated in Georgia. JOHN BRAKEY talks about the insanity in Arizona. LULU FRIESDAT, EMILY LEVY, DR. LORA CHAMBERLAIN and others chime in. This is clearly the most comprehensive attack on voting rights since just after the Civil War, and could easily allow the Trump Cult to take fascist power in 2022 and 2024. We also talk about DC STATEHOOD and whether the District might maybe just secede and form its own state!!

The Importance of Advocacy with Emily Levy "It was possible for things to be fair or that they were supposed to be fair."- Emily Levy (03:44-03:48) Advocacy ensures people in the society can protect their privileges and have their thoughts and desires considered. In this week's episode of Someone Gets Me, Dianne A. Allen invites Emily Levy to talk about advocacy. Emily has all kinds of amazing things she's doing around elections. So she will talk about that in the show. Part One of "The Importance of Advocacy with Emily Levy." Emily grew up in the ’60s in San Francisco and was taken to protest against the Vietnam War by her parents and walking precincts for candidates her parents believed in. So from a very early age, she was involved in seeing how people work for what they want in their communities. "I guess I have always risen to challenges in various ways. And I trace my activism and advocacy work back to toddlerhood when my biggest complaint was it's not fair. I had this idea that things could be fair or that they were supposed to be fair. But it has not been okay with me when things aren't fair for as long as I can remember. So my whole life, I have done what I can to make things fairer," says Emily on asking how her life ended on becoming an advocate. Furthermore, Emily also added that she had some struggles in academics when she was a child. She had to make her own challenges to live up to that sense of justice and having things be just on a spiritual level. She was like the petition kid and set everything up for justice. "I remember we would have like 20 spelling words a week, and we were supposed to put them and set them into sentences. Some teachers insisted on one word per sentence, and some teachers let us use more than one word. So I would challenge myself to get all 20 words into one sentence because I was bored out of my mind. Things that didn't make sense. To have us do work that we were supposed to do, even if we'd already learned what they were supposed to be teaching us. So in an elementary school, those are the kinds of challenges that I remember most," Emily shared. "The people who I know like me, in high school, are much happier with their lives now than the cool kids who were using drugs or more in the 'in-crowd'." -Emily Levy (14:04-14:27) The school wasn't stimulating enough for Emily. It wasn't matching her skill set. Many geeky, nerdy, smart kids get over reinforced for their intelligence. Sometimes the adults miss the sensitive, emotional part, the need to be connected, and the need to be cared about. It's just so feeding into the head, and so that synchrony of the development gets exaggerated. It's part of that whole idea that we get put into these boxes. This is the smart kid, this is the pretty kid, this is the athletic kid, and etc. There's rarely a holistic appreciation of human beings as complex and valuable for everything about us. The world is trying to push people into one box, and we're not allowed to get out of it. When we push those boxes, as gifted, talented people, we're going to where we push the limits and say, "No, hold on for a second. This is who I am." Let's pay attention to everybody else who is multidimensional because there's so much more going on—that's the game-changer. Part Two of "The Importance of Advocacy with Emily Levy." The whole idea of justice is a form of perfectionism that comes to gifted people. It's a natural part of our DNA to care about justice and things being right. It's normal, and so you were aware of it and could feel it and see it and experience it from time to time. Emily does advocate professionally and has been doing it for a while. Not everybody does it, and some people don't put it in their vocation in the same interesting way. Sharing about that piece of the journey, Emily says, "At some point in my 20s, I realized I had grown up with the sense that my mind was destined for greatness. But I had no idea what that meant, what did what was expected of me, who it was that was expecting it, and what I was supposed to do about it. But anything I fought about doing felt like it wasn't good enough. At the same time, I got a chronic illness and became disabled. I was limited in my ability to interact with the world for about 30 years from that illness.” Furthermore, she also shared her struggles in discovering her purpose. “In the time of my life, when I was expected to figure out what my career is going to be, I wasn't able to have one. I was pretty much homebound, and I didn't have many hours a day where I could do much other than take care of myself. It also gave me a lot of time to think about what I wanted to do. "There's no blanket answer for what everybody needs other than to be listened to and for someone to get them." -Dianne A. Allen (15:00-15:07) “My former partner and I adopted four kids, and the first three we adopted were already older. The first one was five, and then a year and a half later, we adopted siblings who are ten and eleven. A few years later, we adopted a baby. She's a lot younger than her three siblings, and there is a way in which I thought of raising my kids as my work in the world, which will be familiar to the parents who are listening,” Emily related. Specifically, she thought that raising those kids who all had a rough start and try to instill some values in them about justice is her social change work. But when her youngest came along, Emily realized that her oldest kids didn't see her as an advocate or an activist. She wasn't doing anything else, except attending an occasional protest if she was able. “I wanted my youngest to see me as an active person working to change the world. And I mean, I wanted them all to see it.” Emily stressed out. Getting more active in going forward, Emily came to understand a lot more about the problems with the United States' election system and how our votes are counted—it is virtually counted by computers. Those computers can be programmed to produce any result, regardless of how people vote. “I landed on positions being paid to get rid of those electronic voting systems and running investigations of elections and training people to observe the processes in an election office after an election and things like that. I also knew that with the gravity of the United States' situation and the world right now, this 2020 election was coming around, I need to focus. I kept wanting to make a living, doing the stuff that mattered to me. I've been assembling in my life about how to make a living, doing work, making the world fairer.” emphasized Emily. In wrapping up the interview, I asked Emily if she was to have a billboard, what would she put in there. With words very well said, she replied, “Life is better when things are fair for everyone.” How To Get In Touch With Emily Levy: Links: http://scrutineerscommunity.org http://twitter.com/scrutineersUS How to Connect with Dianne A.

Since 2016, election security has been a major political issue, specifically regarding foreign interference in our elections. But our elections have not been secure for years, and the flaws in our election security have nothing to do with foreign actors. This week, I had the opportunity to speak with Emily Levy, a lifelong activist who is a recognized leader in the election security movement. She has done work on election security in 9 states, specializing in helping people understand complex election technology issues. In January of 2020, she founded Scrutineers.org, an organization for those that want to fight for fair and secure elections. We spoke about all these issues, and some more.

Children can become ill with COVID-19, and sometimes they develop a rare but serious reaction called multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). When this reaction happens, different body parts become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, intestinal tract and brain. More than 600 cases of MIS-C have been reported in the U.S. as of Aug. 20, most in minority populations. On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Emily Levy, a pediatric critical care and infectious diseases expert, gives an overview of MIS-C, including its similarities with Kawasaki disease.
In a year when 50 percent of voters or more are expected to vote by mail in the general election, “the surrender rule” could require millions to vote by provisional ballots. Emily Levy interviews election protection activist Mimi Kennedy about what happens when voters who are listed as having been sent a mail ballot show up to the polls to vote in person. The answer could be suppression. Read More: https://whowhatwhy.org/2020/08/10/how-one-simple-administrative-problem-could-impact-election-outcomes-scrutineers-part-iii/

Mighty Well has been featured in Forbes, Entrepreneurship, and the Boston Globe. The company has also won Babson's prestigious Beta Challenge, as well as the Breakaway Challenge. In this episode Emily Levy, Babson class of 2016, tells of her experience building Mighty Well, which has a growing line of medical accessories that put strength, confidence, and mobility back into the toolkit for spoonies and anyone else coping with a health setback.
On this episode, we talk with Emily Levy, the Co-Founder, and CEO of Mighty Well. Mighty Well creates functional and stylish apparel and accessories to help patients turn sickness into strength. Mighty Well was started out of a need that Emily had herself after she was diagnosed with Chronic Neurological Lyme Disease and had a PICC line put in. She noticed that all the options available to cover it weren’t conducive to living a functional and “normal” life. Emily decided that she needed to create a solution… and Mighty Well was it. They currently have six products out so far and have raised around $500,000 from investors like Breakaway Ventures, Tim Draper and crowdfunding platform, Republic. We focus in on Mighty Well’s experience raising money as a woman-led team, the unique aspect of developing a super personal product, how to build an engaging and community-driven brand, and much more!
Emily Levy is an award-winning social impact entrepreneur and keynote speaker who is passionate about advocating for the patient perspective in healthcare.

Starting a successful new company is impressive enough. But opening a new market is even more so, especially when the founder happens to be a college student. That’s what Emily Levy accomplished as the CEO and co-founder of Mighty Well — a company at the intersection of fashion, lifestyle, and disease management. But that’s just part of her story. While a student at Babson College Emily won our 2015 Beantown Throwdown and this year she returned as one of the judges of the 2017 Beantown Throwdown. Her selection as a judge made a lot of sense given that she has won 15 pitch-offs altogether — in addition to the $200,000 Mighty Well has received so far in venture capital. But Emily is not only the CEO and co-founder of her new company. She is also a customer. It turns out that Mighty Well wasn’t just a solution to a problem identified through a market study — although her team has certainly conducted a number of those. It is also a solution to a problem she had to face personally.

Newcastle writer David Almond investigates the story of a wild child who was said to roam the Yorkshire Dales near Crackpot Hall in the 1930s - and makes a surprising discovery. Crackpot Hall is an ancient, ruined farmhouse near the village of Keld, which lies on the crossroads of the Pennine Way and the Coast to Coast Path in Swaledale. In its time, it has been a hunting lodge, an office for the local lead-mining industry and a family farm. The acclaimed children's writer David Almond has long been intrigued by Crackpot Hall, and for decades has travelled west from his home near Newcastle to visit it. Recently, his curiosity was rekindled when he read about Alice, a four-year old child who was said to have been discovered roaming wild near Crackpot in the 1930s. Led by the fabled laughter of Alice, David set out to find the wild child again and hear her story. Prepared to engage his imagination as a writer if facts alone failed, David was amazed by what Crackpot could still reveal. Spoiler Alert: Alice was 4 years old when Ella Pontefract and Marie Hartley, the author and illustrator of a 1930s guide-book to Swaledale declared they had found her - "with a mocking, chuckling laugh" as she roamed alone with her dog and cats near Crackpot. Like many others, David believed Alice to be a figment of the two women's imagination, so he set out to make a programme about how places create stories. He found Alice, now 88, living in a village near Carlisle, and as full of laughter as ever. With music arranged by the Leeds-based composer Emily Levy. Producer: Beaty Rubens.

Brad Friedman of Brad Blog and Emily Levy of Velvet Revolution reported on the April 5 Wisconsin Supreme Court election and subsequent recount, and Emily asked for volunteers to help in the effort to challenge the election and the recall. Brad Friedman: The recount of the election for Wisconsin Supreme Court seat between Joanne Kloppenburg and incumbent David Prosser has ended with Prosser said to be some 7000 votes ahead. Kloppenburg has until Monday, May 30 to challenge recount, and to be successful, would have to show that at least half that number should be removed due to irregularities. The hard-fought, closely watched election and recount revealed a fatally flawed election system in Wisconsin, with poor procedures, a broken chain of custody for ballots, and apparently incompetent election officials from top to bottom. It's up to Kloppenburg whether she wants to pursue the challenge, and Velvet Revolution and others have been trying to convince her to do it - if not for her own election, then to draw attention and energy towards election reform in Wisconsin. With vital recall elections coming up for Republican henchman of Scott Walker, it's imperative that citizens get on the case. Emily Levy: Emily is asking for about 30 volunteers to read the official "minutes" of the recount in Wisconsin's 72 counties and record irregularities into an online spreadsheet in order to make the case for the challenge. We'll see what we can do. We took a quick moment to mention the multi-state Republican voter suppression campaign of passing bills in state legislatures to require voters to provide photo ID at the polls, etc. - also reported at Brad Blog.

Children can become ill with COVID-19, and sometimes they develop a rare but serious reaction called multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS-C). When this reaction happens, different body parts become inflamed, including the heart, lungs, intestinal tract and brain. More than 600 cases of MIS-C have been reported in the U.S. as of Aug. 20, most in minority populations. On the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast, Dr. Emily Levy, a pediatric critical care and infectious diseases expert, gives an overview of MIS-C, including its similarities with Kawasaki disease.

Around the world, COVID-19 vaccinations are underway, but only in adults. Pfizer's vaccine has been authorized for ages 16 and up, while Moderna's vaccine is currently authorized for ages 18 and up. Vaccines are generally tested in adults first to ensure they are safe for pediatric trials. Both Pfizer and Moderna now have clinical trials underway to study the safety and effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines in children. This edition of the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast features an #AskMayoMom episode hosted by Dr. Angela Mattke, a pediatrician at Mayo Clinic Children's Center. Joining Dr. Mattke to discuss COVID-19, vaccines and children are Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, a Mayo Clinic pediatric infectious diseases physician, and Dr. Emily Levy, a Mayo Clinic pediatric critical care and infectious diseases expert. Dr. Levy also discusses multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children, also known as MIS-C. Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
Across much of the U.S., people age 16 and over are now eligible to be vaccinated for COVID-19. But what about younger children? Children under 16 are not yet eligible to receive any of the COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved for emergency use in adults, and public health experts explain that children will need to be vaccinated for COVID-19 to reach herd immunity and stop the spread of the virus. Clinical trials in adolescents and young children are underway on Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. This week, Pfizer reported promising early results. Johnson & Johnson also is exploring conducting clinical trials with children. This all begs the question: When will those under 16 be able to be vaccinated for COVID-19? This edition of the Mayo Clinic Q&A podcast features an #AskMayoMom episode hosted by Dr. Angela Mattke, a pediatrician at Mayo Clinic Children's Center. Joining Dr. Mattke to discuss COVID-19, vaccines and children are Dr. Nipunie Rajapakse, a pediatric infectious diseases physician, and Dr. Emily Levy, a pediatric critical care and infectious diseases expert — both from Mayo Clinic.
