“I lean on my community. I lean on the power of the pen. I lean on remembering who my ancestors are and what they endured, the colonization that they survived in the Americas, I think, ‘we've been here before, and the lineage from which I come is one that is powerful and resistant.' I would be dishonoring that legacy and that lineage if I didn't step up in this moment.” — Aida SalazarAida Salazar believes deeply in the power of words to change the world. For Aida, writing isn't just a creative act; it's a responsibility—an act of honoring her ancestors, healing personal wounds, and empowering her young readers. Her stories like The Moon Within, Land of the Cranes, Jovita Wore Pants, and Ultraviolet center on identity, social justice, and healing, with a particular focus on the immigrant experience. As a poet, novelist, activist, and mother, Aida discusses how writing helped her process grief, how Latin American literature gave her the permission to dream, how growing up in a mixed-status household shaped her, and how motherhood steered her toward children's literature.In this episode, she shares how the act of writing itself has been a huge part of helping her heal and survive difficult chapters in her own story. Plus, she reflects on how a fart poem, a Parker pen, and a punk rock-inspired zine all had unique roles in shaping her journey as a writer.Tune in for an episode that moves from gut-wrenching stories to gut-splitting laughs, the best kind of listening roller coaster!***For her reading challenge, Banned in Middle Grade, Aida curated a list of banned middle-grade books that reflect themes of identity, social justice, and the experiences of young readers navigating complex worlds. Aida is devoted to middle grade literature and wants to amplify the important stories that are so important for those readers.

In this episode, I chat with Dr. Melissa Thompson, a pelvic floor PT with a practice in Louisiana. From Melissa's Website - Hi! I'm Dr. Melissa Thompson, PT, DPT, MTC. I'm a board-certified Doctor of Physical Therapy with a specialty certification in Manual Therapy, which is a tool for hands on treatment. I am an advocate for holistic health, which means I believe in finding the root cause of your musculoskeletal condition from head to toe in one-on-one, hands on, thorough assessments. A few years ago, I noticed a gap in my practice for the women who were coming to me for back pain issues, among many other things, when many of them also complained about pelvic floor issues that were likely related to their conditions. After receiving further training for the pelvic floor, I have been able to combine my specialties to better address women's health needs throughout pregnancy, postpartum recovery, and the life span. I am passionate about working with women's health because of the gap in holistic care to address pelvic floor symptoms. It was not until I worked with a pelvic floor physical therapist myself that I was able to address and manage my pelvic pain without relying on short term treatments like medication. This changed my life so much that I want to continue spreading this mission of addressing women's health with the tools to stay well, prevent worsening conditions, and heal pelvic health conditions faster with a manageable long term plan.

The first half of 2017's Awkward show has sadly been lost to the gremlins of audio production, but two stories from the second half of the show have been featured on this podcast already, so it's time for the third (and final) Awkward story! It was told by writer and first-time performer Melissa Sheely, who shared the time her awkwardness sabotaged what should have been just a fun trip to the movies. From Melissa's Odyssey bio: Melissa Sheely is an aspiring indie author, office manager who makes sure bills are paid, and a single mother of two girls. She has been stumbling along this world trying to be an excellent example to her girls and just be a decent human being. In her short 30 years, she has experienced much and uses those lessons to guide her.  This episode was performed and recorded in front of a live audience at The Screening Room in Tucson, AZ, on April 6th, 2017, and was curated by Roscoe Mutz.

There's a chapter in my upcoming book about something that happened to me when I was 13. Don't get sad or nervous, it wasn't a traumatic thing. Maybe it was a little traumatic, but you'll enjoy reading about it. It reminded me of how hard it is to be 13. It's hard being 11 to 18.  Today, I am talking to a 12-year-old. On this very day May 22, 2006 Remi Hope Radke came screaming into my world, and I haven't had a moment of silence since. I couldn't imagine having a different guest on my podcast today. Every May 22nd, Remi Hope dominates our thoughts and our world, so there is no reason why today should be any different.   You can find Melissa here:  Podcast Web Page Facebook Page @MsMelissaRadke on Instagram @msmelissaradke on Twitter  Show Notes  [01:45] Remi is growing up. I wonder if having a public mom makes her life more difficult? Sometimes I feel like I'm making it harder on her. Although, if I were she would let me know.  [02:08] Today, I'm going to sit down with Remi and introduce her to you.  [02:19] Remi came to us through adoption. She came to us less than five months after we buried our son. I cried out to God to help me mend what was torn apart.  [02:49] One day I was in the kitchen. Out of nowhere, I felt a tender presence. It was like a compassionate reach. I heard the words "everything you are in need of will come to you wrapped in a blanket."  [03:08] This made no sense to me. How can everything I want come in the form of a tiny baby?  [03:26] Remi Hope came into my world. She was not a replacement for  Elisha. She was the cure for the broken and missing piece.  [03:59] She was an uncontrollable toddler in every single way. We were called in to meet with every teacher at every school.She was fulfilled of nonstop.  [04:20] She's a little older and a little wiser now but no less filled with life and humor.  [04:26] Today, I'm talking to her about everything from adoption to living in the public eye to boys.  [04:48] Remi had her thoughts and doubts about being on the show.   [05:13] Remi thinks the podcast could be a little better and funnier.   [06:15] Remi is thinking about starting her own podcast. She would try a food and give her opinion and then have guest opinions. It would be like Remi's reviews  but would be called Remondade similar to lemonade.   [08:00] Remi and Melissa share their knowledge about historical energy sources and renewable and alternative energy. Geothermal, solar, wind, biofuels, and hydroelectric.  [10:40] Remi plays soccer, basketball, softball, and she wants to play football. She's heading into the sixth grade and doing great. [11:24] She met her best friends Rashawna and Adeline at church. She knew they would grow up together and be best friends. She is a leader in kid works. Remi is great at memorizing scripture. [12:06] Remi she shares some of her favorite scriptures.  [13:31] Remi is healthy and loves fruits and vegetables and broccoli.   [14:15] Her favorite show is Deception, and her favorite movie is Jurassic World.  [15:58] Remi was about seven when she found out she was adopted. She always wanted to watch Tarzan, and they would always stop the movie and tell Remi that the gorillas were adopting Tarzan.  [16:53] Remi is cool with the adoption. Melissa is really her mom. Her mom was a very good sharer. Someday, Remi may want to meet her birth mom, and that is okay.  [17:51] Remi approves of the fun life they have and how Melissa puts stuff out on the Internet.   [19:00] She likes the fame. There is nothing she hates about it. Our family has been talking about a reality show. They have filmed three times. It's a lot of work. There is a whole household of people.  [20:02] Remi thinks it is fun. They are probably getting a TV show.   [20:39] Melissa held Remi back because of her attitude, and she repeated kindergarten. She was like a wild tornado unleashed on the school system.   [21:53] A lot of kids repeat kindergarten. She can let it go. She is in the top of her class and two of her best friends are in that grade.   [22:44] She's excited about going to middle school and choosing where she sits.  [24:00] Remi shares the stages of being ladylike.   [24:29] She is looking forward to church camp and some other fun camps she goes to and has great friends there. She is also going to the Texas A&M soccer camp. All while possible shooting a show.  [25:18] She would like to have a sleepover on her birthday in the guest room with her friends.   [25:57] She would like a horse for her birthday, but she'll take the sleepover and a kiss. To start with.  [26:16] Remi's lightning round.  [28:27] Special thanks to Remi Hope Radke.   [28:44] Hope has always been a part of your name. From Melissa's book Eat Cake.

On this episode of the Healthy Wealthy and Smart Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Melissa Morrison about her journey following a concussion. Melissa Morrison is the International Bestselling author of the book, Unstick Your Stuck. She is a Certified Co-Active Professional Coach, a Certified Neurosculpting Facilitator and a speaker. As a TBI Thriver Life Coach she works with TBI survivors to find their new normal so they can heal and gain their life back personally and professionally. In this episode, we discuss: -How Melissa’s concussion symptoms impacted her daily life -Melissa’s experience with medical providers following her concussion -Why Melissa became a life coach and began her work with TBI survivors -The various components of neurosculpting -And so much more!   Symptoms of a concussion can often go unnoticed at the time of injury. From Melissa’s experience, she states, “I didn’t think it was that bad. It was something that I thought would just go away.” Melissa was unable to receive appropriate medical management of her concussion leading to greater harm to her psychology. She states, “That was hard for me to look in the mirror and not see anything… There was a disconnect.”   One of the turning points of Melissa’s journey was when she was able to express herself freely and feel as though she was in a safe environment. With the help of her physical therapist, Melissa found that, “There was actually a chance after this that maybe I could heal… She understood what I was going through… She really listened to what was going on.” For concussion management, Melissa advises all medical providers to, “Really slow down and listen because a lot of times the processing of the person with a concussion is slower than it was prior to… Really taking the time and believe them. Believe what they’re saying.”   Melissa’s life path was altered following her injury in a direction that has led her to pursue her passions. Despite the hardships, she remarks, “Having this concussion was a wakeup call from the universe.”   For more information on Melissa: I am Melissa S. Morrison, CPCC, CNSF, CFE.   I am a recovering accountant and a brain injury thriver who found my passion as a life coach and an author. I specialize in working with people who want to stretch the edges of their comfort zone by transforming and taking the lead in their lives. As a traumatic brain injury survivor, I understand what it means to personally transform. I am living proof that you can step into your truth no matter what circumstance you face in life.   I obtained my coaching certification from the Coaches Training Institute as a Co-Active Professional Coach. I am a Certified Neurosculpting® Facilitator from the Neurosculpting® Institute, aimed at improving lives using neuroscience through education of overall brain health and re-wiring old stories through meditation.   My career background in leadership and business in auditing, consulting, and fraud creates a unique viewpoint as a life coach. As a Certified Fraud Examiner, I am equipped with the tools to recognize and eliminate the personal fraud we all hide behind.   I excel at being creatively curious with clients, bringing my strong intuition and awareness into the space and bringing the energy and fun we need back in our lives.   Here is me. I am loving, caring and powerful. On the other hand: I’m blunt; I’m bold; I’m a risk-taker. I am also driven, curious, inspirational, and intelligent. Honesty is number one and I plan to give that to you in all the work we do together.

On Episode 83 of One Happy Podcast, the officially unofficial podcast of the island of Aruba, I am being joined by Melissa Rose.  Having just returned from her second trip to the island, Melissa is already a full-fledged Aruba-holic.  Now Melissa was just in Aruba a couple of weeks ago and was nice enough to stop by One Happy Podcast to share her Aruba story.   In this interview, Melissa tells me all about her family vacation spent with her husband and two teenaged boys.  Being a first-time vacation home renter, I was curious to hear about her experience with “Vacation Rental by Owners” (VRBO).  I was also curious to see how the rental life compared to her previous stay at an Eagle beach resort.  Melissa walks me through her family vacation including her trips to the various beaches of the island, as well as an excursion that she absolutely loves.   The reason why this episode is a favorite is because not only does Melissa do a great job of providing useful information but she does it in a way that places you there.  By the end, I almost felt like I tagged along with them on their family trip.  Even though Melissa is relatively new to the island, this interview proves that everyone has something to teach.  I learned quite a bit from my talk with Melissa and I hope you will as well.  At the very least I guarantee you will be entertained and warmed by the love she shows for One Happy Island, on episode 83 of the Officially Unofficial Podcast of the Island of Aruba.
