In this episode, Marsha invites listeners into a deeply personal exploration of the power of thoughts and self-talk. She begins by posing a thought-provoking question: if one were to vocalize their inner thoughts, what would others hear? Would it be a stream of empowering affirmations or a verbal dump of self-doubt and criticism? Marsha emphasizes that our internal dialogue is a powerful broadcast that shapes our reality, and she encourages listeners to reflect on the nature of their own thoughts.

As the chill of autumn settles over Winchester, the Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter (WATTS) is gearing up for another season of service. In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael talks with Robyn Miller, the executive director of WATTS, to discuss the shelter's mission, its expanding reach, and the vital role it plays in the community. A Low-Barrier Approach to Shelter WATTS stands out for its low-barrier philosophy. As Robyn explains, the shelter welcomes any adult over 18, regardless of identification, sobriety, or background. This inclusive approach ensures that no one is turned away during the harsh winter months. The shelter operates on a rotating basis, moving from church to church each week, with local congregations providing not only space and warmth but also meals and volunteer support. Beyond a Bed: Comprehensive Support However, WATTS offers more than just a place to sleep. Over the years, the organization has expanded its services to include day shelters and warming centers, providing guests with a safe haven around the clock. Staff and volunteers work closely with individuals to set goals, access resources, and ultimately transition out of homelessness. Whether it's helping someone reconnect with family, secure employment, or find permanent housing, WATTS is committed to supporting each guest's journey toward stability. New Initiatives: Transitional Housing and Community Partnerships This year, WATTS celebrates a significant milestone: the acquisition of a transitional home, made possible by a group of local investors. The home offers affordable rooms to individuals who are employed but unable to afford market-rate housing, giving them a crucial stepping stone toward independence. The success of this initiative has inspired the organization to seek additional properties, further expanding its impact. Moreover, WATTS has achieved a long-sought goal by partnering with a church in Shenandoah County, allowing the shelter to serve a growing population of homeless individuals in the region. This collaboration marks a new chapter in WATTS' mission, demonstrating the power of community partnerships in addressing complex social challenges. The Power of Community: Volunteers and Donations Throughout the conversation, Janet and Robyn emphasize the indispensable role of community support. Volunteers are the backbone of WATTS, assisting with everything from meal preparation to event organization. Donations—both financial and in-kind—are always needed, as the shelter covers costs for essentials like identification, transportation, and application fees for housing. Fundraising with Flavor: "Cheesin' for a Reason" To sustain its operations, WATTS hosts a variety of fundraising events. One standout is the "Cheesin' for a Reason" festival, a grilled cheese and tomato soup extravaganza featuring local restaurants and food trucks. The event not only raises funds but also brings the community together, offering families a fun way to support a worthy cause. Other initiatives, such as the Thanksgiving 5K and partnerships with local businesses, further bolster the shelter's resources. Facing Challenges, Fostering Hope Despite the many hurdles—ranging from harsh weather to the complexities of homelessness—WATTS remains steadfast in its mission. The organization's flexible, compassionate approach has helped hundreds of individuals find safety, support, and a path forward. As Robyn notes, the ultimate goal is to ensure that everyone who comes through WATTS' doors leaves with renewed hope and the tools they need to rebuild their lives. Get Involved For those inspired to help, WATTS offers numerous opportunities to volunteer, donate, or participate in upcoming events. Information is readily available on their website: https://watts-homelessshelter.org/ and social media channels. As the shelter opens its doors for another season, the message is clear: with community support, lasting change is possible.

On today's episode, I sit down with Scott DeLuzio, an army veteran who served in the Connecticut Army National Guard as an infantryman between 2005-2011 and was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010. Scott discusses the challenges veterans face, including mental health issues and the search for purpose after service. He highlights the importance of community support, the complexities of combat experiences, and the role of humor in coping with trauma. During his deployment, tragically, Scott became a Gold Star Brother when his younger brother, Sergeant Steven DeLuzio was killed in action while they were both deployed only miles apart from each other in Afghanistan. Scott’s experiences in combat and the loss of his brother have fueled his passion for veteran advocacy and honoring the legacy of those who served. After returning home, Scott struggled with PTSD, grief, and the transition to civilian life.

I'm sharing the raw, real deal of what it's like to hold yourself to sky-high standards while also keeping tiny humans alive. Spoiler alert: it's not all curated Instagram stories and cute planners. We're getting into the gritty truth of what it really means to juggle entrepreneurship and motherhood.
