In a powerful episode of the HAYVN Hubcast, host Nancy Sheed sits down with Chandler Stroud, founder of The Healing Heroes to explore a journey that many women will find deeply relatable: the path from corporate success to personal healing and authentic purpose. The Corporate Climb and Its Hidden Costs Chandler's story begins in the corporate world, where she built an impressive career at major companies like Kraft Heinz and American Express. She also led the B2B marketing team at Resy, American Express's dining platform, attending chef dinners and immersing herself in the food and hospitality industry. But beneath the surface of professional achievement, something was stirring. Despite having everything she'd dreamed of she was asking herself: why aren't you happier in this moment? When the Body Says "Enough" The breakthrough moment came during a business trip when she spotted a book at JFK Airport: The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk. That book became the catalyst for understanding the connection between emotional trauma and physical symptoms.  Chandler learned that trauma isn't just about what happens to you, it's about how you experience what happens to you. She distinguishes between two types of traumas: Big T trauma: Major events like abuse, abandonment, or significant loss Small t trauma: Seemingly minor experiences that create deep-seated beliefs about us like being left out, not being invited, feeling overlooked The Corporate Exit Strategy Recognizing that she couldn't fully commit to both healing and her demanding corporate role, Chandler made a courageous decision and approached her boss with complete honesty about her situation, leading to an FMLA leave that eventually became a permanent departure from American Express. Birth of the Healing Heroes Podcast The vision for The Healing Heroes podcast came in a moment of divine inspiration. Chandler woke up in the middle of the night in early January with a complete concept that flowed onto 12 pages of content. The podcast features a unique format: instead of rotating guests, Chandler works with the same 12 healers and experts she interviews one-on-one each week. This approach creates character development and gives listeners familiar, credible voices they can turn to consistently. Chandler's journey offers several profound insights: Success without fulfillment is a warning sign: Having everything you thought you wanted but still feeling empty is your soul's way of redirecting you. Your body is your ally: Physical symptoms often carry emotional messages that deserve attention and investigation. Healing is ongoing: "I don't think I'll ever say I'm healed... I think it's just something you continue to do every day." Small traumas matter: Don't dismiss seemingly minor experiences that may have shaped limiting beliefs about yourself. Corporate support exists: Companies like American Express can be surprisingly supportive of employees prioritizing mental health and healing. The Ripple Effect What started as personal healing has become a mission to help other women. The Healing Heroes podcast serves as both inspiration and practical resource, proving that career pivots in midlife aren't just possible, they can be transformational.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.This episode is part of my initiative to provide access to important court decisions  impacting employees in an easy to understand conversational format using AI.  The speakers in the episode are AI generated and frankly sound great to listen to.  Enjoy!The battlefield of workplace accommodations and family caregiving responsibilities takes center stage in our detailed examination of Kemp v. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals. This landmark case illuminates the critical distinction between denying leave and subtly discouraging employees from exercising their rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act.We trace the journey of Denise Kemp, a decade-long employee with a history of promotions and positive performance, whose relationship with her employer deteriorated after seeking flexibility to care for her disabled daughter. The tension between remote work policies and leave rights creates a fascinating legal puzzle that ultimately hinged on technicalities rather than merits.The Second Circuit's ruling provides crucial clarity on what constitutes FMLA interference, establishing that employers can violate the law without ever formally denying leave requests. Yet despite this employee-friendly interpretation, procedural rules—particularly the unforgiving statute of limitations—proved decisive. We explore how timing can make or break employment claims regardless of their underlying validity.Beyond the technical legal analysis, we extract practical lessons for both sides of the employment relationship. For workers, understanding deadlines and documenting problematic interactions becomes paramount. For companies, the case serves as a warning that compliance means more than simply processing paperwork—it requires creating an environment where employees feel genuinely free to exercise their rights without subtle punishment.Have you encountered challenges balancing family care responsibilities with workplace expectations? The evolving legal landscape around remote work accommodations continues to shape both employee rights and employer obligations.

Have you ever wondered what it means for an educator to be "protected" while taking time off for medical or family reasons? Understanding what that entails is crucial when faced with a family emergency. This includes knowing the steps to request FMLA, eligibility requirements, the types of medical conditions that qualify, and the amount of leave you are entitled to under the law. Key benefits, such as job security during an absence, are also important to understand. Additionally, it's essential to know how Temporary Disability Leave (TDL) differs from FMLA and the potential consequences if an employee exhausts both of these resources. In this episode of the ATPE podcast, ATPE's Member Legal Services Department Managing Attorney Lance Cain continues his deep dive into educator leave, focusing specifically on protected leave and the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA).   The legal information provided here is accurate as of the date of publication.

Hoy comenzamos a sonar en la FM de toda CUENCA y ALBACETE gracias a ONE FM .... La huella estacionícola sigue creciendo! GUILLERMO NIETO Me gusta la música. Aunque hago muchas otras cosas en mi día a día para poder vivir, la música es una de las partes fundamentales de mi vida. La música me traslada a ese mundo donde vivir es algo más que respirar. Me lleva a un planeta en donde no existen las guerras, el odio, la envidia, el dolor, la enfermedad, el menosprecio y la desigualdad. Aunque en realidad sé que no todo es así... La música es una ilusión que me lleva y me trae. Me vuelve niño antes de envejecer y cada mañana me pongo ante el micrófono sabiendo que vuelvo a ser niño por unos minutos Cada dia creo en menos certezas, sólo mi Dios, mi fe, el amor a mis semejantes y a quienes no lo son. No soy maestro de nada ni me creo más que nadie. Maestro sólo hay uno y nos mira desde el cielo. No soy dueño de nada; toma y deja ir; coge y suelta, recibe y dona, ama y perdona. Este programa de radio lo hago pensando en los buenos seres humanos que viven amando, pero especialmente lo hago pensando en aquéllos menos amados por los demás. Los que sufren la incomprensión, los refugiados de guerra, los que viven rodeados de violencia, los que padecen enfermedades, los que tienen el alma herida, los que han perdido la esperanza, los que sufren por desamor, los que han perdido algún ser querido, los que han perdido la alegría de vivir. Sentir que aunque sea por un instante puedo llevar una sonrisa a una persona me reconforta. Y más si es a través del instrumento más maravilloso: la música Este programa de radio lo hago pensando en los que aman la paz y los que aman la música. Y por ello grito junto a todos vosotros: ¡Paz y música!

本期岛上主播：包慧怡 陈杰 姜林静 2024年，中法建交60周年之际，跳岛FM与法国驻华大使馆共同推出「法兰西特派！La dépêche française ! 」特别企划，用6期节目带领中文听众领略法国文学的独特魅力。本期节目是这个系列的第五期。 今年年初，「沙仑的玫瑰」专栏曾推出诗歌特别节目“起身的一刻，就是春天”，以此呼唤大家“起身”抵抗严冬的阴影。再临冬日，本期节目「沙仑的玫瑰」依然献给诗歌，复旦大学外语学院的三位老师包慧怡、姜林静和陈杰，将追随中世纪吟游诗人的足迹，聆听诗行间爱的回响，唤醒自我的凝思。 吟游诗的传统发源于中世纪的南法，后在德语区和英语区衍生出多样化的形式。在漫长的传承中，原有的配乐曲谱往往失落，仅留下字里行间对爱情的追寻。只是当抒情诗被经典化为文学范式，爱情的母题似乎也变成了一种“无根的浪漫”。在13世纪的德语恋曲《菩提树下》中，夜莺的声声歌唱质问着骑士与贵妇的典雅之爱；而14世纪的《致罗莎蒙德的谣曲》中，乔叟亦以辛辣的反讽回应：玫瑰属于世界，诗人何必再写情伤？ 当写诗与个体经验逐渐剥离，诗人又该如何寻回自我，接近真知与神明？若回溯至11世纪，文学史上有据可考的首位游吟诗人曾留下古怪作品《我想作一首空无一物的诗》，以层层否定勾勒出无所适从的生命状态。正是这种“既非也非”的表达，允许我们重新审视，自我该如何栖息于世。饱满丰足的秋日已经远去，冬日的漂泊与追寻，或许正是回归诗人本质的良机。 【时间轴】 02:30 玫瑰们的冬日重聚：告别前的最后一次远足 05:01 “吟游诗人”的起源：此南法非彼南法 08:12 吟游诗传统如何在法、德、英三国间流转？ 16:40《战争颂》：断头诗人在但丁的地狱 27:21 忧郁王子亨利六世：抒情诗的德国宣传大使 31:10 吟游诗人，中世纪的最佳“唱作人” 34:07 为什么流传下来的抒情诗歌，大多只有诗而没有歌？ 41:35《菩提树下》：“反典雅爱情”的少女恋歌 50:12 男作家的“纯爱诗歌”中，被追求的女性为何总是缺席？ 59:32 法国地理普及环节：阿基坦、普瓦图和利穆赞都是哪儿？ 01:03:36 文学史上首位游吟诗人的古怪之作：《我想作一首空无一物的诗》 01:07:48 一觉分两次睡的中世纪作息，最能接近真理 01:12:27 被过度经典化的抒情诗，怎么不算一种AI恋爱文学？ 01:20:11《致罗莎蒙德的谣曲》：玫瑰属于世界，诗人何必再写情伤？ 01:25:59 与“跳岛”告别，在此处有龙重逢 【节目中提到的】 - 书籍 《论俗语》 【意】 但丁 《神曲》【意】但丁 《魔山》【德】托马斯·曼 《海因里希·冯·奥弗特丁根》【德】 诺瓦利斯 《爱情的寓言：对中世纪传统的研究》【英】 C.S.路易斯 - 诗歌 《亚瑟王传说》 《春日已降临》 《冬日对于我来说是这样的一个时辰》【德】 迪特马尔·冯·阿斯特 《战争颂》【法】贝尔特朗·德·博恩 《菩提树下》【德】瓦尔特·冯·德·福格尔魏德 《我想作一首空无一物的诗》【法】阿基坦的纪尧姆九世 《夜莺颂》【英】约翰·济慈 《玫瑰传奇》【法】纪尧姆·德·洛里斯 【法】让·克洛皮内尔 《致罗莎蒙德的谣曲》【英】杰弗里·乔叟 - 歌剧 《唐怀瑟与瓦特堡歌唱大赛》【德】威廉·理查德·瓦格纳 - 人物 但丁，意大利中世纪诗人，以史诗《神曲》留名后世。与彼特拉克、薄伽丘合称“文艺复兴三杰”。 约翰·罗纳德·鲁埃尔·托尔金，英国作家、诗人、语言学家，以创作经典古典奇幻作品《霍比特人》《魔戒》与《精灵宝钻》而闻名于世。 阿基坦的埃莉诺，阿基坦女公爵暨普瓦捷女伯爵，阿基坦公爵威廉十世之女。埃莉诺先嫁给法国国王路易七世，婚姻被判无效后，和英格兰国王亨利二世结婚。 贝尔特朗·德·博恩，法国利穆赞的一位男爵，也是12-13世纪奥克语的主要吟游诗人之一。他创作了情歌（cansos），但更出名的是他的政治歌曲（sirventes）。曾参与了反对理查一世和菲利普二世的起义，晚年成为一名僧侣。 古斯塔夫·多雷，19世纪法国艺术家、版画家、漫画家、插画家和木雕雕刻家。 杰弗里·乔叟，英国中世纪作家，被称为“英国诗歌之父”以及“中世纪英国文学之父”，被誉为英国中世纪最杰出的诗人。 腓特烈一世，也被称为红胡子腓特烈，罗马人民的国王（1152年－1190年在位）和神圣罗马帝国皇帝（1155年加冕）。 亨利六世 ，霍亨斯陶芬王朝的罗马人的国王（1167年—1197年在位）和神圣罗马帝国皇帝（1190年—1197年在位）。外表忧郁的他是当时宫廷抒情诗鼎盛时期的代表人物。 马丁·路德，德意志神学家、哲学家，神圣罗马帝国教会司铎兼神学教授。其于十六世纪初发起德意志宗教改革，后来扩展为影响全欧洲的宗教改革，并促成基督新教的兴起。 威廉·理查德·瓦格纳，德国作曲家、剧作家，以其歌剧闻名。代表作有《尼伯龙根的指环》等。 诺瓦利斯，德国浪漫主义诗人、作家、哲学家。著有诗歌《夜之赞歌》《圣歌》，小说《海因里希·冯·奥弗特丁根》等。 瓦尔特·冯·德·福格尔魏德，德语恋歌作家，他用中古高地德语创作并演唱情歌和政治歌曲，被称为是歌德以前最伟大的德国抒情诗人。他上百首情歌被认为是中世纪德国恋歌的巅峰之作，为宫廷爱情的传统注入了新的活力。 杰拉尔德·曼利·霍普金斯，英国诗人、罗马天主教耶稣会神父, 最负盛名的维多利亚诗人。 弗朗切斯科·彼特拉克，意大利学者、诗人、和早期的人文主义者，被视为人文主义之父。 皮埃尔·德·龙萨，法国诗人。出于对美丽的卡桑德尔·萨尔维亚蒂的爱慕，开始爱情诗的创作，写下了著名的十四行诗《爱情》，自此被公认为卓越的爱情诗人。 奈德哈特·冯·罗伊塔尔，德国最著名的吟游诗人之一。 - 名词 《马内塞古抄本》，也被为《大海德堡诗歌手抄本》或《巴黎手抄本》，是已知内容最全面也最为著名的中世纪德语诗歌手抄本。 格里高利圣咏，西方基督教单声圣咏的主要传统，是一种单声部、无伴奏的天主教会宗教音乐。 纽姆记谱法或称纽姆谱，是以“纽姆”为基本元素的记谱方式，大约形成于9世纪，并且于10世纪发展出四线谱，到了12世纪，发展出标记音符时间长短的方法。 破晓歌，描写天色破晓、白昼来临、恋人必须分离的哀歌。 劳拉，彼特拉克心慕的意中人，她的出现使彼特拉克体会到了不可言传的愉悦。成为他精神之恋代表作《歌集》的主要内容。但劳拉本人可能只是理想化的或者虚构人物。 【出品方】中信出版集团文学事业部 【制作人】何润哲 广岛乱 【文案编辑】Viann 【运营编辑】黄鱼 不理 荔枝 【后期剪辑】茄汁鱼 【片头音乐】Der winter were mir ein zit / Han ich iht vriunt, die wunschen - I Ciarlatani 【视觉顾问】孙晓曦 【视觉指导】汐和 【平面设计】心心

This week, we're highlighting several last-minute changes from federal agencies before the Trump administration takes office. These include the National Labor Relations Board's (NLRB's) recent ban on captive audience meetings, a federal judge's decision to vacate the Department of Labor's (DOL's) overtime rule, and the return of Wage and Hour Division opinion letters. NLRB Outlaws Captive Audience Meetings On November 13, 2024, the NLRB outlawed captive audience meetings, overturning nearly 80 years of precedent and removing a widely used tool for employers. Employers may still hold such meetings, but employee attendance cannot be mandatory. Federal Judge Strikes Down DOL Overtime Rule Earlier this year, the Biden administration's DOL released a final rule raising the salary threshold for overtime pay. On November 15, 2024, a federal judge in Texas vacated this overtime rule nationwide, not only preventing future increases from taking effect but also retroactively nullifying the increases implemented in July. The Return of Wage and Hour Opinion Letters We saw more last-minute action this month with the sudden return of Wage and Hour Division opinion letters. One such letter addresses overtime calculations, and the other details the use of leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. During his first term, President Trump issued about 80 letters, whereas President Biden, following President Obama's approach, has released only four, including the two this month.

In this episode of the FSR Sarc Fighter podcast I share a new study from Japan that compared people with systemic cardiac sarcoidosis -- those people who have cardiac sarc as well as other organ involvement -- with those who have only cardiac involvement.  The research found that if you have it only in your heart it may actually be more serious.  Also, FSR just released information that will give you a sigh of relief if you want to participate in a clinical trial.   I also riff a bit about election night 2024, covering a Donald Trump rally, and a speech on the difficulty of sharing scientific data with the viewing public on TV news.   Show notes Sarcoidosis news report on cardiac sarcoidosis: https://sarcoidosisnews.com/news/poorer-outcomes-seen-isolated-cardiac-sarcoidosis/ Department of Labor and Clinical Trial participation: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/fsr-receives-confirmation-from-the-department-of-labor-ensuring-patient-access-to-fmla-for-participation-in-clinical-trials/ My story on the Trump Rally:https://www.wsls.com/news/local/2024/11/03/local-representatives-speak-at-trumps-rally-in-salem/ Watch the Externally-Led Patient Focused Discussion before the FDA: https://www.stopsarcoidosis.org/pfdd/ MORE FROM JOHN: Cycling with Sarcoidosis http://carlinthecyclist.com/category/cycling-with-sarcoidosis/ Biking 4 Boomers on Tic Tok. https://www.tiktok.com/@biking.4.boomers Do you like the official song for the Sarc Fighter podcast?  It's also an FSR fundraiser!

When a mother has the devastating experience of leaving the hospital without a baby and perhaps only a memory box, many in our society expect them to get on with living and go back to their normal life.  But their life is changed forever, and many don't recognize or acknowledge that. Today we will hear the story of grief, anger, a battle, and finally, a life's purpose for one mother who had to walk this hard path. Through her mission, she struggled to get family leave extended to grieving parents, so no one would have to suffer as she did. She also discovered the importance of providing resources for self-care and connection to bereavement groups.

Before her advocacy work, Liz was a dedicated D.C.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My husband and I are starting the adoption process, and so I recently reached out to Human Resources at my place of employment and learned that I do not qualify for short-term disability (STD), so I am not eligible for any type of paid time off when baby eventually comes.

I mean, there is research out there on the importance of bonding and attachment for the future health of children!
