Podcasts about girl scout troop leader

A Girl Scout Troop in Missouri recently broke away from the organization after it made legal threats against the group.   For the Girl Scout's “Agents of Change” capstone project, a St. Louis county troop decided to make and sell bracelets to raise money for children in Gaza.   The Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri said the move was “political" and instructed them to shut down the fundraiser.   The children in this particular troop were inspired by other troops that raised money for war victims in Ukraine. Those troops faced no repercussions over their fundraisers.   Despite breaking away from the Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri, the group is staying together, and their bracelet campaign has continued.   Mondoweiss's U.S. Correspondent Michael Arria spoke with Girl Scout Troop Leader and mother to one of the scouts, Nawal Abuhamdeh, and two of the Girl Scouts about the situation. - - - - - Support our work Help us continue our critical, independent coverage of events in Palestine, Israel, and related U.S. politics.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks with Caroline Kusnetz about the pressure's teens face both physically and emotionally and how her program GRIT is helping to build youth's confidence. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/Caroline-Kusnetz    Highlights from today's episode include: Caroline Kusnetz You know, a lot of kids through the pandemic, they're lonelier than ever, and we're dealing with the effects of social media that you know, we're in this experiment, both kids and parents and we don't know what the long-term effects are. Caroline Kusnetz But we know the short-term effects are not good. The depression and anxiety rate is…I mean, as a parent of kids in this age group, seeing my own kids and their friends and hearing stories of my friends and their children. It is everywhere. It is everywhere and it's scary. Caroline Kusnetz I think a lot of youth are feeling like they're not heard. So, we're trying to marry a very complicated time with a lot of very challenging subjects and have a conversation where we can respect multiple points of view from both kids and parents.     ABOUT CAROLINE KUSNETZ: Caroline Kusnetz is the co-founder and CEO of GRYT, a multi-faceted movement to equip and empower a struggling generation of youth; ages 8-16; to build the healthy mind-body habits that are foundational to achieving a sense of self-efficacy, resilience, and a place of leadership amid a sustainability-focused future. A former award-winning tech executive-turned-board certified functional medicine health coach and Iron Woman competitor, Kusnetz brings a powerful synergy of business-building acumen and comprehensive wellness expertise to an all-female team. Together, they are establishing a foundational framework that prepares both teens and their parents to effectively navigate the unique challenges of puberty and become resilient, passion-led adults. Raised in New Jersey alongside one older brother, Kusnetz's family of four regularly engaged in friendly competition as a means of imparting essential life skills. From deboning a fish to fixing a dishwasher, every “real world” lesson served to support a sense of self-reliance and resourcefulness that has served her to this day - and now motivates her to share the same formative experiences with American youth. After graduating magna cum laude from Massachusetts' Babson College with a Bachelor's in Marketing and Communications, she completed the University of Pittsburgh's Semester at Sea, receiving academic honors while completing courses and traveling to ten countries. She then earned her Master's in Business Administration from New York University's Stern School of Business. Entering the technology field, Kusnetz spent two decades advancing through the ranks of corporate leadership at Dell, IBM, and several start-ups. Just after becoming a new mother, she sustained extensive injuries - including a broken neck and traumatic brain injury - in a rollover automobile accident with her then-eight-week-old daughter.  The road to recovery took more than two years, during which time Kusnetz seized the opportunity of a second chance to pursue her passion for helping others to improve their quality of life with tools and resources backed by advanced brain health optimization science. She completed her Health Coaching Certification Program, board exam, WildFit Nutrition Counseling Credential, and a six-month internship with APO4.INFO to become a certified ReCODE Practitioner. She then founded WE BE Wellness with GRYT Co-Founder Carly Kaufman, creating a thriving mind-body functional wellness brand that has empowered hundreds of clients toward positive changes that support physical-mental balance. Today, Kusnetz brings the same brain-body functional wellness approach to GRYT, focusing her expertise on a generation of teens struggling to find a place of belonging and contribution in today's world. She resides in New York City with her husband and two children, where she regularly works with youth as school board president and executive vice president. She has also served as a mentor for the New York State Mentoring Program, Girl Scout Troop Leader, and as a counselor, speaker, and recruiter for the New Jersey Public School Community Cares Program.

Have you been plagued with the question, “What is my life purpose”? Get your answers here in six easy steps! And bonus, find out what differentiates you from others who have the same purpose. MM558- Uncover Your Life Purpose Hello, everybody, and welcome to this week's episode of Motivate Me! It's Me! Time here on Motivate Me! and we are working on coming back from flat. Before we start, let's get into the right headspace. Let's engage in the idea that this is time where YOU are the priority. Let's take two slow, deep breaths to get us centered. Just follow me. Today's focus is: Uncover Your Life Purpose I am really excited to talk to you about today's topic, Life Purpose. Life purpose is kind of a controversial topic. People have their own ideas about what exactly life purpose means, if it's a real thing, or not; if it matters if you “achieve” it over your lifetime, or not. To me, the best part about the idea of a life purpose is that a) You get to a place in your own life and mind where your thinking is heightened enough to start questioning the idea “Why am I here?” And b) You go on your own journey of discovery, seeking knowledge about it. And that journey is a long one. It's not about getting one person's opinion and believing it, it's about getting tid bits of information over time and piecing them together in a way that makes sense for you. Because similar to your life purpose, your discoveries and ideas about it are personal to you. Understanding what life purpose is and discovering your own is an intimate process. I don't know in which stage of this process you're in currently, but if you're like me, you hit a place or will hit a place in your search for purpose where you feel like all you've done is random and purposeless. That either you've bounced around and done many things and none seem connected and you don't feel like you've arrived anywhere, or you feel like you've arrived somewhere, but it's not the right where. I want to share an activity with you that I created to help me figure out my direction and my purpose. I had completed a coaching program and was starting my podcast - but I needed to figure out what my podcast would be about? How could I help the most people with the amazing information and tools I had learned? Who did I want to help? What mattered most to me? What am I about? So here are the six steps I took to figure all of this out. (I suggest pausing this episode as we move along and doing these steps with me, but feel free to revisit and revise your answers over the next few weeks. It took me three weeks of revisiting this process to find the answer I was looking for. And before doing this, I just could not see any of what I found here.) Step One: I'd like you to make a list of all the jobs you've had in your life. For me, that included: working at a pizzeria, at a MacDonald's, at a Macy's, at a nuclear power plant, for an accountant, teaching high school English, running a karaoke business, being a Girl Scout Troop Leader, and more. So, Step 1, just list all the jobs you've had. (Feel free to pause here.) Step Two: Look at your list of all the jobs you've had and circle the ones you enjoyed most. The ones that made you feel a certain kind of way. (When I was doing this, I remember looking at my list and feeling almost a sense of shame in how disconnected all my jobs seemed. I had gone to school to be a nail technician; I had gotten my real estate license… I look back now and see that I didn't even put those on my list!) So, circle the jobs you enjoyed most. Step Three: Of the jobs you circled, write a WHY sentence for each. Why did you circle them? Why are they important to you? What about them made you feel a certain kind of way? Here are the three jobs I enjoyed most from my long list, and here are my WHYs: Karaoke Host - I enjoyed my job as a karaoke host because I could help people make friends and find belonging,

It's ABOUT TIME for another interview episode, am I right?! And I'm excited to launch a new interview series with Alison A. from Girl Scouts of Silver Sage in Idaho!  In this episode, we talk about how Alison's troop has had to adapt in this weird season of Covid-19, what her troop missed out on because they had to cancel/postpone, and what they've been doing to make the most of this time... including earning a Bronze Award while social distancing! Additionally, we cover all the usual info. She shares her favorite resources to help run her troop, reflects on her proudest moments and favorite memories both as a child growing up as a Canadian Girl Guide as well as as an adult volunteer for both Girl Guides of Canada and GSUSA, and shares some tips and best practices for making the most out of Girl Scout Journey programming (which can be a daunting and overwhelming task for some!).  If you want to check out the resources she mentions in this podcast episode, here are some links for you: https://www.facebook.com/groups/GirlScoutsGab https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCweS29uohixfn-onxLgWHrw
