Raising a daughter with a heart of compassion and Christ-like love means helping her see the dignity, value, and worth of every person—including those who are differently abled.

She shares insights on how parents can model and teach empathy, drawing from both scripture and her work with Joni & Friends. We'll also discuss practical ways to help young girls befriend and uplift peers with disabilities, address common fears or misconceptions, and reinforce the truth that every life is created in God's image.  Patti and Shauna also highlight the long-standing partnership between American Heritage Girls and Joni & Friends, including the development of the All God's Children Badge Program, AHG's Serving Persons Impacted by Disabilities National Day of Service Initiative, and the new children's book A Paintbrush for Joni.  If you're a parent, grandparent, or mentor looking for Christ-centered wisdom on raising a compassionate, service-minded daughter who sees all people through God's eyes, this episode is a must-listen.  To learn more about disability ministry resources that can transform your family's approach to inclusion and service, visit joniandfriends.org.  Find an American Heritage Girls Troop near you, visit americanheritagegirls.org       Add even more Biblical wisdom to your parenting quiver, visit raisinggodlygirls.com

Playing with our kids doesn't always come naturally to parents. For some of us, it might feel uninteresting, repetitive, or as though the only way to participate is by taking over. But today's conversation might just change the way you think about play. We're diving into the transformative power of play as a form of communication that allows our kids to feel safe while exploring what's going on inside them. Joining me is Georgie Wisen-Vincent, an expert in play therapy and co-author, alongside Dr. Tina Payne Bryson, of the new book The Way of Play: Using Little Moments of Big Connection to Raise Kind and Confident Kids. In today's episode, Georgie shares insights from The Way of Play and explains why play is a universal language that helps kids express their feelings and navigate life's challenges. We discuss how parents can intentionally use play to strengthen bonds, nurture sibling relationships, and reconnect after time apart. Georgie also offers practical strategies for engaging in play effectively, such as mirroring your child's play to deepen connection and understanding. Plus, we explore how play isn't just for kids—it's a lifelong skill that can enhance relationships at every stage of life.   About Georgie Wisen-Vincent Georgie Wisen-Vincent, LMFT, RPT-S, ECMHS is a nationally recognized play therapy expert and co-author (with Dr. Tina Payne Bryson) of the new book -- THE WAY OF PLAY (Penguin Random House, January 2025).

Every parent does it – but doesn't want to admit it. We compare our child to other children or even their siblings. We also know that our “comparing” comes from a deep place of concern.

COP, one of the largest and most significant international conferences on environmental issues, just occurred in November in Azerbaijan. In this episode, you will hear from three Inogen Alliance members who attended the event and have been heavily involved in the negotiations as they share their insights and learnings from this year's gathering. We hear from Dr. Amr Abdel-Aziz, Chairman at Integral Consult in Egypt, Ilkin Haji, Founder & Executive Director at Sustainera Solutions in Azerbaijan, and Hilton Lucio, CEO of Antea Brasil.---------Guest Quotes“COP to me is really where the decision making process related to issues related to climate occur. And by that I mean the negotiations track under the COP always results in decisions that are to be implemented by all parties to the convention. And these decisions are in fact not only climate related, but it impacts development, it impacts economies.” -Amr“This year's adoption of NCQG, I think it's a positive signal that hope is not lost yet. So with global cooperation, with multilateralism, we can overcome some critical obstacles.” - Ilkin“It's not a coincidence that this is attracting more and more of the private sector. All my clients, with no exception, are concerned about climate change much more than they were, I don't know, 15, 10 years ago. And now they have tangible discussions that they can understand as well, hey, this is going to cost something. We're going to have to contribute with our business to reach the national contributions. So it's very translatable to my world, the private sector, the business sector.” - Hilton---------Time Stamps(00:00) Introduction to COP(01:21) Panel guest intros (03:00) Key insights and observations from COP29(08:11) The role of the private sector (11:17) Challenges and successes in climate negotiations(28:34) Side events and their impact(39:45) Looking forward to COP30 in Brazil(47:27) Key takeaways---------Sponsor copyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

As we gather around tables and reflect on what we're thankful for, Thanksgiving offers us a beautiful reminder of gratitude. But what if we carried that same spirit into the Advent season? In this episode of Raising Godly Girls, co-hosts Rachael and Melissa invite us to extend the spirit of Thanksgiving beyond the holiday, exploring how gratitude can shape the Advent season for our families. They discuss the importance of keeping thankfulness alive, from creating “gratitude trees” to sharing meaningful Advent traditions like the Jesse Tree.  Hear from Patti Garibay, AHG's Founder & Executive Director, as she shares wisdom on how families can observe Advent as a time of anticipation and prayerful waiting for the coming of Christ.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 4: 6:05pm- Founder & Executive Director of Power the Future—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Power the Future “suing the Department of Justice (DOJ) over their systemic cover-up of the secretive Office of the Special Presidential Envoy for Climate (SPEC).” You can learn more about Power the Future here: https://powerthefuture.com/about-us/ 6:30pm- Ron DeSantis vs Kamala Harris. On Tuesday, NBC News reported that Governor Ron DeSantis has been ignoring phone calls from Vice President Kamala Harris as Florida prepares for Hurricane Milton. During a press conference, DeSantis flatly denied ever ignoring Harris's attempts to reach him and insisted “this is not a time for politics.” Meanwhile, Harris publicly accused DeSantis of not putting the people of Florida first. But on Tuesday President Joe Biden came to DeSantis's defense—applauding his performance during the crisis, saying the governor is doing a great job. So, why is Harris lying and purposefully politicizing Hurricane Milton?
