"Hip hop culture is a fuel for life… an organic healing culture with roots that empower both individuals and communities." – Dr. Raphael Travis On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes Dr. Raphael Travis, an educator, researcher, and social worker who has devoted his life to understanding how hip hop culture serves as a powerful tool for individual and collective healing. Dr. Travis traces hip hop's five key elements—MCing, breakdancing, DJing, graffiti, and knowledge of self—and discusses how each contributes to identity reconstruction, resilience, and post-traumatic growth. He reflects on his own lived experiences growing up in New York during the early days of hip hop, and shares stories from his work with youth in clinical and community settings. Listeners will explore how hip hop's expressive arts create vital counter narratives to trauma-induced identity threats and why culturally grounded modalities are essential for trauma transformation. Dr. Travis explains how shifting from a deficit-based to an empowerment-based approach to youth development can catalyze agency, belonging, and social change. He shares practical strategies—ranging from lyric analysis to innovative uses of technology like beat making and haptic devices—for building therapeutic connection and intentional healing within youth and communities. The conversation highlights the importance of relationship, positive development, and the transformative potential of the arts in fostering both individual and community recovery.

Persuasion isn't just for politicians and advertisers—it's a core nursing skill.In this episode of the Emory University series, host Melissa Mills sits down with Dr. Roxana Chicas, Dr. Sharron Close, and recent Emory School of Nursing graduate Sofi Igyan to explore how nurses can use the power of words to influence change from the bedside to the boardroom.Together, they unpack what persuasion really means in health care—how it differs from simple education, and why it's both an art and a science. You'll hear how strategies like knowing your audience, framing messages, leveraging the “power of three,” and using data and stories together can move patients, policymakers, and the public to action.The guests share real-world examples—from farmworker advocacy and climate health, to social media “nurse hacks,” to early-career experiences with therapeutic communication and mental health. They also dig into storytelling tools like the AIDS Memorial Quilt and the legacy of Cesar Chavez to show how narrative can humanize complex issues, build empathy, and shift policy.Whether you're a new graduate nurse, bedside nurse, educator, or emerging nurse leader, this episode will help you:Claim your voice as a communicator and advocateUse persuasion ethically and effectivelyTurn everyday conversations into opportunities for impactListen in and rediscover your words as one of the most powerful tools you have as a nurse.>>Unlocking the Power of Persuasion in Your Nursing CareerJump Ahead to Listen: [00:01:39] Persuasion in nursing communication.

In this inspiring episode of the Emory University series on Nurse Converse, host Dr. Everett Moss II, CRNA, sits down with three powerful voices from the Emory University School of Nursing—Dr. Beth Ann Swan, Dr. Shawana Moore, and recent graduate Sofi Igyan—to unpack one of the most misunderstood words in nursing: power.Together, they challenge the idea that power is something loud, aggressive, or purely positional. Instead, they explore power as the ability to influence change, whether you're an academic leader, an advanced practice nurse, or a new graduate stepping into the profession for the first time.Listeners will hear:Why power is deeply personal and often situational—shifting with the room you're in, the role you hold, and how others perceive you.How humility and silence can be profound sources of strength, including the concept of the “silent storm” and the impact of knowing when not to speak.The student and new-graduate perspective on power—how embracing agency, mentorship, and opportunities can transform the nursing school and early-career experience.The role of mentorship in cultivating influence and the responsibility to lift others as you rise.How storytelling and social media can serve as powerful platforms when nurses share lived experiences and credible information.Practical advice for nurses at every stage—from flowing like water through challenges, to embracing new opportunities, to navigating imposter syndrome.From redefining influence to owning your voice at any stage of a career, this conversation highlights the many forms of power nurses hold—and how harnessing that power can shape both individual careers and the future of the profession.>>8 Keys to Cultivating Power in Your Nursing CareerJump Ahead to Listen: [00:02:19] Understanding power and influence in nursing [00:04:43] Navigating personal power and professional presence [00:10:15] Influence within nursing's power structures [00:14:32] Elevating student confidence and empowerment [00:20:17] How nursing students shape conversations online [00:21:24] Examining influencers and credibility in nursing [00:26:01] Storytelling as a catalyst for impact [00:30:09] Mentorship as a foundation for future leaders [00:37:01] Staying open to unexpected opportunities [00:40:05] Adapting and “flowing like water” in your career [00:42:15] Growth through professional and personal challenges [00:47:00] Books and ideas that inspire empowered nursing practice For more information, full transcript and videos visit Nurse.org/podcastJoin our newsletter at nurse.org/joinInstagram: @nurse_orgTikTok: @nurse.orgFacebook: @nurse.orgYouTube: Nurse.org

Today with us on the Incite Change Podcast, Coach Mauro sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Ann Wanek. Dr. Wanek is a physician with decades of experience in both conventional surgery and integrative health. Over the course of her medical career, she transitioned from traditional clinical practice to a more holistic, root-cause approach to wellness, driven by a deep interest in how the human body heals and sustains itself at the cellular level. The conversation delves into the crucial role of cellular hydration and mineral balance, clarifying why simply drinking more water is often insufficient. Dr. Wanek explains how minerals function as biological facilitators, supporting energy production, cellular communication, and resilience, and how long-term deficiencies and poor quality contribute to chronic conditions. Through her Foundational Medicine perspective, Dr. Wanek emphasizes working with the body rather than overriding it. She encourages small, consistent changes that restore the conditions the body needs to function as designed, empowering individuals to better understand and support their own health.

In Class With Carr 304, with Dr. Greg Carr and Karen Hunter, opens the new year by naming our unavoidable choices in a moment of U.S. imperial desperation. The session centers our obligation to renew commitment to collective study as an act of courage and discipline, as U.S. bombs fall in Venezuela and Nigeria and a fear-driven minority attempts to sabotage people-centered local and national power. We reflect on the historic swearing-in of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, signaling shifting possibilities in the U.S. social structure, while recalling fellow New Yorker John Henrik Clarke's call to situate our efforts to transform society within the latitude and longitude of our long memory. We close by naming the work ahead: deeper study pathways, shared learning experiences, living archives, and collective frameworks to continue to enhance the momentum of memory, raise standards, and move knowledge into coordinated action.Are you a member of Knarrative?

This is the audio from an amazing webinar I did with Alloy Health. I was so fortunate to be interviewed by their community leader, Rachel Hughes. What I'm seeing clearly is that Gen X is leading the menopause conversation — we're asking better questions, demanding better answers, and refusing to be dismissed. At the same time, Millennials are shifting the focus toward prevention, not just treating disease after it shows up. That mindset matters, and it's changing healthcare. I talk a lot about why self-care isn't indulgent — it's essential if you want to thrive in midlife and beyond. That starts with education. You cannot make informed decisions about your body if no one ever taught you how hormones actually work. Hormones are not just reactive tools — they can be preventative, supporting long-term health when used thoughtfully and appropriately. Progesterone and testosterone play real, meaningful roles in women's health, and vaginal estrogen is both safe and incredibly effective for many women — despite how rarely it's discussed. We also have to talk about sex. Communication is foundational to a fulfilling sex life in midlife, and silence only benefits outdated narratives, not women. The bottom line? You have more control over your health than you've been led to believe. Empowerment doesn't come from perfection — it comes from understanding your body and advocating for yourself in a system that often won't do it for you.

Jesus never expected you to do it alone, to somehow find the strength within yourself to obey his call on your life. He never intended you to share his love and grace or make disciples without the promised Spirit. Acts chapters 1 and 2 is the story of the early church receiving the empowerment Jesus promised - an empowerment that has been on repeat ever since.

We spend most of our lives afraid. We spend most of our lives worrying about what has been or what could be. We spend our life thinking about all the bad things that are possible. But we very often forget the other side of possibility. All the good things that could happen. Good or bad, neither are true, unless we say so. This meditation hopes to help remind us that we have the universe inside of us and to ask the question how much better could things get? One breath at a time.

#200 - A new name, a sharper mission, and a story that hits like a drumbeat. Journey with Jake evolves into The Human Adventure, and we mark the moment with Joleen Hyde, a South African guide whose life moved from the weight of apartheid to the work of building bridges through travel, education, and Ubuntu. This is not a safari highlight reel. It's a tour of how courage, forgiveness, and community can transform how we move through the world.We start with the why behind our new title: a focus on people, resilience, and purpose. Joleen brings that focus to life. She explains what it meant to be legally classified under apartheid, how her father's quiet generosity shaped her, and what she learned while working with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Mandela's model of forgiveness looms large here, not as a slogan but as a discipline that keeps hope practical. From there, Joleen traces a path to the United States and the creation of Into Africa Tours, an impact-driven approach to travel that pairs wildlife and coastline with classrooms, townships, and feeding programs.You'll hear how guests step beyond surface-level tourism to meet teachers and students, support community projects, and experience the spirit of Ubuntu: I am because we are. We talk about the hard parts too—limits, heartbreak, and the humility to choose one project and follow through. There's laughter in the mix, from language lessons to bold bites of local food, and plenty of adventure that still honors safety and respect. Listeners walk away with a richer view of South Africa, tangible ways to get involved, and a challenge to keep serving back home, long after the passport is stamped.Ready to rethink why you travel and what your presence can do? Press play, share this with someone who needs a dose of human connection, and subscribe to stay with us on The Human Adventure. Your review helps more people find stories that turn empathy into action.To learn more about Joleen and Into Africa Tours visit her website www.intoafricatours.com and give her a follow on Instagram @intoafrica_tours.Want to be a guest on The Human Adventure?
