In this episode, we talk with caregiver Sylvia Chunn of Nashville, who shares her journey alongside her husband David through his diagnosis of AML, a stem cell transplant, and the ongoing challenges of GVHD. Sylvia walks us through their intense timeline, from David's emergency diagnosis in January 2024 to his transplant in July and their extended stay in Atlanta, away from home and their teenage children, until February 2025. Her husband's transplant was successful in its purpose, but complications like heart failure and GVHD turned their lives upside down.We explore the caregiving experience through Sylvia's eyes, especially navigating chronic GVHD symptoms that affect David's gut, eyes, mouth, joints, and skin. She explains how their lives are now filled with medical appointments, medications, and managing side effects from treatment. Sylvia describes her role as a blend of cheerleader and drill sergeant, ensuring medications are taken and appointments kept, while also offering emotional support.Sylvia emphasizes the importance of self-care during the process. With limited financial flexibility, she found peace in simple things like reading through a Facebook book club, daily personal devotions, and leaning on her faith. Exercise helped at times, although maintaining consistency was difficult. She openly shares that she sought mental health support, including therapy and medication, to deal with stress, guilt, and isolation.The conversation turns to how this journey has affected intimacy and family dynamics. Sylvia candidly reflects on how medical realities changed their physical relationship but ultimately brought them emotionally closer. Time spent together—reading, reminiscing, and watching shows—became a new form of connection. They rediscovered old routines from their early marriage and built a stronger bond through shared trials.Sylvia also shares how their children, especially their youngest teenage twins and their adult daughter in medical school, responded to the crisis. She notes how her kids matured emotionally, became more empathetic, and stepped up in unexpected ways.We close with Sylvia offering heartfelt advice to other caregivers: keep showing up, stay grateful, and never forget the power of hope. She reminds us that while this journey is incredibly difficult, it's also filled with unexpected moments of closeness, resilience, and love.Thanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:40 - Introduction to Sylvia Chunn01:15 - David's AML Diagnosis and Transplant Decision02:10 - Living Away from Home for Treatment03:40 - Navigating Chronic GVHD05:30 - Caregiver Role and Daily Routine06:40 - Self-Care and Coping Strategies08:20 - Mental Health Support for Caregivers09:40 - Isolation and Infection Risks11:55 - Impact on Intimacy and Marriage16:20 - Parenting Through the Crisis18:40 - Reflections on Family Growth20:40 - Final Thoughts and Advice to Caregivers National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Key Takeaways1. Hospice isn't about giving up — it's about shifting the goal from cure to comfort.Most misconceptions stem from fear or lack of education. Hospice focuses on maximizing quality of life, not accelerating end of life.2. Timing matters. Early conversations lead to better experiences.Families often wait until crisis mode. Subtle changes — fatigue, weight loss, repeated hospitalizations, shifting goals — are early signs to explore hospice.3. There is an entire team behind every patient and family.Chaplains, social workers, nurses, CNAs, and physicians work together to support medical, emotional, spiritual, and logistical needs.4. Quality of life is unique to each patient.It may mean one last trip, freedom from pain, or simply being able to rest without fear. Hospice focuses on what matters most.5. Families gain relief, clarity, and peace knowing they're not alone.Hospice offers 24/7 support, education, and guidance — reducing anxiety and preventing unnecessary hospital visits.6. Eligibility is flexible and individualized.A prognosis of six months or less is a guideline, not an expiration date. A hospice RN and medical director work together to determine appropriateness based on a full clinical picture.7. Hospice allows sacred, human moments to happen.Final conversations, reconciliation, peaceful transitions — hospice creates space for these moments rather than crisis-driven chaos.8. Education is the antidote to fear.Knowledge gives families confidence, reduces guilt, and empowers them to make aligned decisions for their loved ones. www.YourHealth.Org

Ep. 225 If you've been doubting your growth this year, this episode will open your eyes to just how far you've come and why you deserve to end 2025 proud, grounded, and unapologetically in your power. In this deeply reflective episode of HealingHer Within, host Maryann Rivera-Dannert walks you through 25 things she's truly grateful for in 2025 — and invites you to pause, reflect, and honor how you've evolved this year. From healing her past to holding firm boundaries, expanding her business, stepping into visibility, embracing divine timing, and nurturing herself with intention, Maryann breaks down the inner work, the breakthroughs, and the bold decisions that shaped her year. This episode is not just a gratitude list — it's a blueprint for how to close your year strong, aligned, and fully awake to who you are becoming. Whether you're celebrating wins or navigating hard truths, you'll walk away feeling inspired, grounded, and ready to greet 2026 with clarity and confidence. Key Takeaways Reflection is a power move: You can't grow what you don't track. Maryann emphasizes checking in with your yearly goals before December 31st. Healing is ongoing, not a finish line: Your past is part of your story — not the whole story. Your message is magnetic when it's aligned: The “liberated woman movement” is attracting the right women because Maryann is speaking boldly to her true audience. Boundaries are self-care in action: They're not about others — they're about honoring your peace. Visibility creates opportunity: Stepping into your voice leads to increased impact, income, and influence. Self-nourishment is non-negotiable: You can't pour into others when you're running on empty. Divine timing > forced timing: Peace comes from releasing control. Resilience is a superpower: You are not defined by what happened to you — only by how you rise.

Message us here!Are you avoiding talking to your kids about topics that are just...awkward? In this episode, I chat with Dr. Elsa Friis, clinical psychologist and VP of Product at Alongside, to unpack a practical way to tackle taboo topics (sex, porn, consent, screens) without burning the bridge you're trying to build. Dr. Friis takes us from a group home with twelve boys to community-led parenting programs in Kenya, showing how cultural humility changes results. Warmth, respect, and safety are universal, but a mismatch in how love is shown fuels conflict. We dig into concrete tools: visual schedules that calm bedtime battles, shared calendars that grow autonomy, and “ice cream chats” that make awkward feel doable. We outline scripts for starting the sex conversation early, framing online exposure without shame, and setting boundaries that still invite honesty.We also explore how technology can extend, not replace, human care. Alongside for Families uses an AI wellness coach to help parents and youth practice tough conversations, build study plans, and share the right info at the right time. Teens get a private space with clear safety rails; parents receive high-level summaries and immediate alerts for risks like self-harm. Resources:Dr. Friis is giving Little Helpers a free 30 days to Alongside with the discount code FRIEND30!

KEY POINTSYour Health is launching a new hospice program to complete the continuum of care.Hospice is not new to leadership—team members have decades of experience.Palliative care and hospice work together:Palliative can continue indefinitelyHospice begins when disease progression reaches an advanced stage and patients choose comfort over curative treatmentHospice helps patients avoid unnecessary ER visits, hospital stays, and stressful care transitions.The new program allows patients to stay with their same care team, maintaining continuity and trust.Eligibility begins with specific diagnoses and a provider's order, supported by clinical and non-clinical indicators like frequent falls, increased symptoms, or significant weight loss.The “six-month rule” is based on normal disease progression, not an exact timeline.The new hospice service enhances value-based care, controlling costs while improving outcomes.Your Health staff play an important role in asking, “**What matters to you?**”The program ultimately expands patient choice and honors their wishes with compassion and dignity. www.YourHealth.Org

Send us a text“My foster child's biological parents are incarcerated; how can I guide them through this difficult time?” “My child's guard is up after trauma, how can I help take the walls down?” “How can I help a child transition out of Department of Juvenile Justice custody?” — When a child is in DJJ custody, they're locked up, isolated, and scared. They aren't just going through legal trouble, they're carrying trauma and shame. It takes resilience, hope, support, and love to break free of the trauma they've faced. That's why today Sophia Mills sits down with William Freeman, Founder and CEO of People of Purpose, an organization seeking to guide families as their loved ones come home from incarceration. He shares his experience going through the same thing and how he healed; as well as tips and strategies to help your child through the transition back into normality. Whether you or your child are going through this, know someone who is, or are recovering from any kind of trauma, William's powerful testimony and advice can help you on your journey. As William told us, “Sometimes it's not the trauma you expect. It's abandonment, it's silence, it's love not shown the way a child needs to feel it.”

Brief: Two paths, one principle: treat homebuying as a long-term financial strategy, not a short-term hurdle.Synopsis: This holiday episode is less about quick fixes and more about reframing your mindset. David Sidoni uses the season of spending and reflection to challenge renters to think long-term. Whether you're considering formal assistance, planning to save aggressively, or exploring the option of family help, this episode presents the big picture. Sidoni explains how budgeting now — even during the holidays — can align you with a strategy to turn your lease into a mortgage. He explores how mindset, planning, and consistency are more powerful than credit score hacks or waiting for perfect market timing. While down payment assistance is addressed, so is the reality that some buyers may rely on gift funds — and the importance of being honest about what's possible and what's privileged.Quote: “Fear can be your ally. Informed consumers always outperform emotional ones.”Highlights:Why mindset matters more than market timing when planning your purchaseHow to use your current lease as a timeline for ownershipHoliday habits that can kickstart your 2025 savings goalsHow to approach family support or assistance with clarity and confidenceReferenced Episodes:388 – The Playbook Vol. 1: The Rent Replacement Strategy389 – The Playbook Vol. 2: Your Last Lease Ever314 – Is Real Estate a Good Investment? - Dave Meyer, Bigger Pockets Interview188 – House Hacking May Be Your Tool to Affordability52 – How To House Hack Buying Your First Home273 – Buying a Home in 11 Days!

Join Annie Sargent and Elyse Rivin as they dive deep into the tragic and brilliant life of Vincent van Gogh. This episode isn't just about his iconic paintings—it's about the man behind the masterpieces. Elyse, with her deep knowledge of art history and her gift for storytelling, guides us through Van Gogh's tumultuous journey. From his early struggles in the Netherlands to his transformative years in France, we explore how his experiences shaped his art—and how his art, in turn, shaped the world. Listen to this episode ad-free Van Gogh's life was marked by failure, rejection, and mental health struggles. Elyse explains how these challenges fueled his creativity. As a young man, he tried—and failed—at careers as an art dealer, a preacher, and even a Bible translator. His family didn't know what to do with him, and his father even considered sending him to a mental hospital. But it was his brother, Theo, who became his lifeline. Theo provided financial and emotional support, allowing Vincent to focus on painting. This support gave him the freedom to experiment, leading to the bold, vibrant style we associate with him today. Paris was a turning point for Van Gogh. Elyse paints a vivid picture of his time there, living in Montmartre, meeting artists like Toulouse-Lautrec and Pissarro, and discovering new techniques. He hated the city at first, but over time, he began to embrace its energy. His move to Arles was another pivotal moment. He dreamed of creating an artists' colony there, but his relationship with Gauguin ended in disaster. Despite the chaos, this period was incredibly productive. He painted masterpieces like Starry Night Over the Rhône and Sunflowers. After his breakdown in Arles, Van Gogh was committed to an asylum in Saint-Rémy-de-Provence. Elyse's account of this time is heartbreaking yet inspiring. He continued to paint, creating some of his most famous works, including Wheat Fields and more versions of Starry Night. His final days in Auvers-sur-Oise were marked by relentless painting and a tragic end. This episode isn't just about art—it's about humanity, perseverance, and the cost of genius.
