Podcasts about from struggle

Yinz Are Good shares the good stuff - the good news - going on out there and celebrates all the good people who are making it happen: The people who are lifting others up, who are taking care of their neighbors, the people who are saying, “What can I do today to make our world a better place?”.Today we're talking about hope, support, and unconditional love. There are so many layers to this conversation and so many layers to the journey of this incredible family: The Psaros family.Tressa had the privilege of sitting down with dad Harry and son Gus for what would become a beautiful, joyful and uplifting conversation. Harry is a bestselling author, autism advocate, and sports media personality (known as the “Pitt Guru”). When Gus was diagnosed with autism as a toddler, Harry at first denied it.  He was the definition of a tough sports dad, “There is no way my DNA would allow for this to happen.” But at a crucial moment, he pushed his ego aside to become the “warrior dad” in order to support his wife, Michele, and his family - and now fathers at conferences and events across the nation.Harry wrote his book, From Struggle to Strength: A Father's Journey with Autism and the Power of Hope and Positivity,  so other dads can learn from his mistakes, work with their family to support their child on the spectrum and their successful development, see how Gus is thriving  - including becoming a recent college graduate!- with the support of both parents, and ultimately understand that an empowered mindset drives lasting growth and fulfillment in the journey with autism.From Struggle to Strength: A Father's Journey with Autism and the Power of Hope and Positivity By Harry Psaroshttps://www.amazon.com/Struggle-Strength-Fathers-Journey-Positivity/dp/1958481254https://www.harrypsaros.com/Watch our Tressa Tries…video series on YouTube⁠ here⁠.⁠⁠https://www.yinzaregood.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FOLLOW US on social media:Instagram:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@yinzaregood⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠@YinzAreGood⁠⁠⁠⁠Have a story of generosity or kindness to share with us?

"In a landmark article on the power of negative experiences, Baumeister, Bratslavsky, Finkenauer, and Vohs (2001) demonstrated that across the clear majority of domains studied by psychologists (including relationship research), “bad is stronger than good.” Baumeister and colleagues found that “bad events will have longer lasting and more intense consequences than good events” (p. 325); that “single bad events are far stronger than even the strongest good ones” (p. 326); that “close relationships are more deeply and conclusively affected by destructive actions than by constructive ones” (p. 355); and that “Hardly any exceptions (indicating greater power of good) can be found” (p. 323).  "At the same time, a large and growing body of research has demonstrated that religion and spirituality, diversely measured, are associated with a wide range of benefits to individuals, couples, and families. Those benefits have been connected to the capacity of religious beliefs, practices, and communities to provide meaning, structure, and social support. If religion and spirituality can help, how does this help occur? Are religious and spiritual experiences part of the reason why religiosity and spirituality have been helpful?" Kyra Nielson reads the article, "From Struggle to Strength: Adversity in Religious Families," which was originally published in Public Square Magazine on August 16, 2023.

In this deeply honest and powerful conversation, we sit down with Harry Psaros, author of From Struggle to Strength: A Father's Journey with Autism, to explore a perspective that is often missing in conversations around autism, the father's experience.Harry shares his personal journey from denial to acceptance after his son's autism diagnosis, opening up about the confusion, resistance, and emotional struggle many parents quietly face. Like many fathers, he initially found it difficult to fully embrace the diagnosis, a reality he now speaks openly about to help other families feel less alone.Through vulnerability and reflection, Harry offers insight into what helped him shift his mindset, strengthen his role as a parent, and become a more connected and supportive father. His story is not about perfection or quick fixes, but about growth, resilience, and the power of showing up, even when it is hard.This episode is especially meaningful for parents navigating a new diagnosis, families experiencing disconnection, or anyone wanting to better understand the emotional journey behind raising a child on the spectrum.In this episode, we explore:• The emotional reality of receiving an autism diagnosis as a parent• Why some fathers struggle with acceptance and how to support them• The shift from resistance to connection• Building a united, supportive family approach• How mindset, hope, and small steps can transform the journeyThis is a conversation about honesty, growth, and the kind of parenting that evolves through challenge, connection, and love.To learn more about Harry, please click here: https://www.harrypsaros.com/ Hosted on Acast.

This week in our Unchained Gospel series, we explored Romans 7 and 8 through the theme From Struggle to Victory. Paul speaks honestly about the ongoing struggle many Christians experience, while reminding us that the struggle itself is not proof of failure. It is often evidence that God's Spirit is actively at work within us.The message centered on this truth: we are not fighting for freedom, we are learning to live from the freedom Jesus has already given us. Because of Christ, there is no condemnation, and we do not walk through life alone. The Holy Spirit meets us in our weakness, draws us back to the Father, and leads us from struggle toward the victory and freedom found in Jesus.Romans 7 and 8 ultimately invite us not to try harder, but to return to Jesus again and again, trusting that nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ.

What truly separates the top 5% from everyone else? In this episode, the speaker reveals the 3 layers of influence that can make you unstoppable in your niche — influencing yourself to master your beliefs and habits, influencing others through powerful communication, and influencing change in your business with the right skills and systems. Backed by 15 years of real-world experience, this episode is your roadmap to breaking past limits and rising into the top 5%.   “Until you can learn to influence your behaviors, your habits and your actions, you're not going to change your results. And once you learn how to do this, you are now going to be in control of the results that you get. You are going to be the cause of the effects that you now get in your life. ”   Hear more about: The Top 5% Mindset – Understanding what truly sets high achievers apart from the 95% who remain stagnant, and how mindset and habits drive success. First Layer: Influence Yourself – Taking control of your beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors to stop letting external factors like social media or comparison dictate your actions. Second Layer: Influence Others – Mastering the art of communication through a compelling message that connects, captivates, and converts your audience. Third Layer: Influence Change in Your Business – Building essential skills (like copywriting, sales, and leadership) and systems (lead generation, conversion, fulfillment) that create growth and consistency. The Power of Focused Influence – Realizing you don't need millions of followers; just 1,000 true fans can build a million-dollar business. From Struggle to Mastery – Personal stories of early failures, lessons learned from building and selling businesses, and how skill-building transformed the speaker's results.

Hey fam!We can't believe we've made it to video Episode 10 of Dear God, Unscripted! We're talking about a topic that's challenged both of us—submission in marriage

Host: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Guest: Chief Deputy Justin Miller, Kenosha Sheriff’s Office Episode Overview: In this insightful episode, Ashlee and Jennifer, welcome Chief Deputy Justin Miller from the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office. Chief Deputy Miller shares his journey from serving as a Navy psychiatric technician to law enforcement leadership, opening up about how personal experiences and organizational gaps in mental health support shaped his mission to prioritize officer wellness. Key Topics Covered The Struggle for Support: Chief Deputy Miller recounts moments where, due to budget cuts, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and peer support teams were unavailable, leaving officers without organizational resources for mental well-being. Personal Impact: He discusses the life events that first drew his attention to the importance of officer mental health, from the suicide of a significant other to his own family losses, and the organizational culture’s lack of compassion. Culture Shift in Law Enforcement: The conversation delves into the challenges of changing a deeply ingrained “rub dirt on it” mindset, and how being promoted doesn’t always mean having a real voice for change. Innovative Wellness Initiatives: Chief Deputy Miller outlines current strategies in his department. Breaking the Stigma: Chief Deputy Miller explains how officer education, transparency, and leadership modeling are critical for long-term cultural change. Family & Community Impact: The importance of involving officer families in wellness programs—offering access to resources, education, and community-building events. Advice for Leaders & Providers: For law enforcement administrators - Be humble, open to new ideas, prioritize serving your people, and build cultures where feedback leads to actionable change. For mental health professionals - There’s a pressing need for more providers trained to understand first responder culture, as well as resources tailored for both officers and their families. From Struggle to Success: Chief Deputy Miller shares that Kenosha has achieved zero vacancies in both patrol and corrections—a rarity in the current law enforcement climate—and credits a strong, invested culture of wellness and leadership development.

231 - From Struggle to Strength In this episode of Start With Small Steps, I share the deeply personal and transformative journey of understanding and owning my strengths. From childhood frustrations with writing to discovering a passion for math and science, I talk about how recognizing what you're naturally good at can shape your entire path forward. The Power of Knowing Your Strengths:Growing up, I learned the hard way that forcing yourself to be good at everything leads to frustration. Once I accepted that writing wasn't my strength and that I lit up around science and math, my entire academic and career trajectory improved. Knowing your strengths isn't about limitation—it's about focus. Interest vs. Ability:I talk about how true success comes when interest meets ability. You might love a hobby, but if it doesn't match your strengths, it can drain rather than energize you. I explain how to distinguish between fleeting passions and lasting competencies. Feedback and Assessment Tools:Friends and coworkers revealed strengths I didn't even know I had. Tools like the Clifton Strengths Finder and High Five Test added unexpected insight. These moments of reflection helped me reframe how I see myself. When Imitation Backfires:I share the story of how I tried to mimic a successful coworker to get promoted. The turning point came during a work trip where she told me she could never do what I had just done. That moment helped me realize the importance of being the best version of me, not someone else. Takeaways:Recognizing your strengths brings clarity, energy, and direction. Use feedback and assessments to identify your unique talents. Don't waste time chasing someone else's strengths—grow what's already within you. Build your life around the things that feel effortless, exciting, and empowering.

The book offers daily meditations and affirmations designed to help individuals acknowledge their struggles with control, loss, and emotional dependencies in their relationships.Beattie emphasizes the importance of self-care, personal boundaries, and the need to let go of toxic patterns that inhibit personal growth. Each day presents a short reading that encourages reflection on self-acceptance, healing from past traumas, and fostering healthier relationships. Key themes include the power of surrender, the importance of inviting change, and finding peace through acceptance.Overall, Beattie's work encourages readers to develop a deeper understanding of themselves, embrace their feelings, practice mindfulness, and cultivate a life that prioritizes emotional well-being.Chapter 2:The Theme of The Language of Letting Go"The Language of Letting Go" by Melody Beattie is a collection of daily meditations that focuses on the themes of recovery, self-care, and emotional health. Although it does not have a traditional narrative structure with plot points and characters, certain thematic ideas and concepts can be outlined. Here are some key elements: Key Themes and Ideas:1. Acceptance and Letting Go: A central theme throughout the book is the importance of accepting situations and emotions as they are, and learning to let go of the need to control everything. This is particularly relevant for individuals dealing with addiction or codependency.2. Self-Compassion and Self-Care: Beattie emphasizes the need for individuals to care for themselves, recognizing their own worth and embracing self-love. This involves setting boundaries and acknowledging personal needs.3. Healing and Recovery: The meditations often delve into the process of healing from emotional pain, trauma, or relationships that are toxic. Beattie provides reflections on moving forward and the journey of personal growth.4. Emotional Awareness: The book encourages readers to become aware of their emotions, which is a vital aspect of personal development. This awareness helps to understand and manage feelings rather than letting them control one's life.5. The Power of Connection: Recovery and healing are often framed in the context of relationships with others, including healthy connections and the importance of support systems. Character Development:While "The Language of Letting Go" does not feature traditional characters, the "character" in this context can be seen as the reader themselves. The development occurs as individuals engage with the meditations and reflect on their own experiences. Readers may develop through the following:1. From Struggle to Empowerment: Readers may recognize their struggles with codependency or addiction and move towards a place of empowerment and control over their lives.2. Increased Self-Awareness: Through the reflective nature of the meditations, readers gain insights into their behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, leading to personal growth.3. Building Resilience: As readers practice letting go and working through their emotions, they may develop stronger coping mechanisms and resilience in the face of challenges. Key Plot Points:Since the book is composed of meditations rather than a continuous plot, key points can be summarized as thematic reflections for each day. Each meditation serves as a standalone exploration of specific aspects of life, such as forgiveness, the importance of living in the moment, and the value of self-acceptance. Conclusion:"The Language of Letting Go" serves as a guide for personal transformation, encouraging readers to embrace healing, self-awareness,...

Helping English learners access the curriculum of the Language Arts class, which is geared towards native speakers, is one of the challenges many teachers face. There are many linguistic demands that are not easy even for students for whom English is the mother tongue. And for English learners, those demands add extra layers, which require the teachers to, A) have at least the basic background knowledge of language acquisition, and B) understand how to adjust the material to the student's proficiency level. So in today's episode, I am talking about the 3 biggest challenges ELs face in the language arts classroom and provide ideas on how you can help them once you are aware of those challenges.Show Notes:Episode 132 - From Struggle to Success: Helping ELs Thrive in Language Arts ClassroomToday's episode:Digital Masterclass Library “Light the Way to EL Teaching Success”Free resources - sign up and keep in touch:Accommodate and Modify Your Lessons for ELs with Less than 1 Hour of Planning a Week - classroom teacher and admin checklist Free Audio Training - 3 Mindset Shifts for Instilling and Living Out a Belief that All Teachers are Teachers of Language.ESL Newcomer Teaching ChecklistSave time and build confidence in your EL teaching with these resources:EMBARK™ Newcomer CurriculumThe ESL Teaching Roadmap – EL curriculum and coaching membership for middle and high school ESL/ELL teachers.Essential Lesson Plan BundleMy TpT storeRecord a comment for us - click HERE.

This involves being aware of one's own emotions and those of others, recognizing that everyone is part of a shared environment, and using this awareness to guide actions. Angie suggests that the lack of emotional intelligence has significant implications for the world. She compares emotional intelligence to a language one learns to speak, noting that individuals with low emotional intelligence may struggle with handling adversity and managing their emotions. [20:20] Curiosity as the Key to Emotional Intelligence Angie highlights the importance of curiosity as a foundational aspect of emotional intelligence.  Individuals create space for questions by cultivating curiosity and allowing others to express their emotions.  Mastering the role of the observer, which begins with curiosity, enhances empathy and facilitates a shift from reacting to situations to responding. [27:20] From Struggle to Strength: Angie's Journey Angie shares a personal journey of transformation, highlighting how she went from a high-achieving, disciplined individual to someone struggling with depression and binge eating. Through her experience of hitting rock bottom and undergoing a process of rebirth, she gained profound insights into psychology and personal development. This journey ultimately led her to discover her passion for coaching. [36:00] Navigating Purpose & Empowering Others Having high emotional intelligence can help individuals figure out their purpose and make decisions with clarity.  Angie's personal experience motivates her to help others who may be going through similar struggles. She recognizes the importance of equipping individuals with the tools and knowledge to understand and manage their emotions, especially during periods of identity crisis.  [42:30] Understanding Emotional Traps & the Law of Attraction Angie discusses how individuals can become trapped in certain emotional states, such as grief, which then perpetuate feelings of shame and guilt.  By constantly focusing on negative emotions, individuals can inadvertently magnify them, shaping their perception of reality. This proces influences one's vibrational frequency and attracts similar experiences. [46:00] Perception's Power: Uncovering Subconscious Influences Angie emphasizes the critical role of perception in shaping every aspect of one's life, including health.  She suggests that disease can originate from one's perception, which is influenced by subconscious programs.  Understanding these programs is essential for uncovering outdated beliefs that may be holding individuals back from living fulfilling lives.
