Welcome back to the BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour and YouTube Channel@billholt8792 Today, I wanted to take a moment to clarify and discuss the nature of our online forums. As many of you know, these spaces are designed to foster community, share information, and support each other on our holistic healing journeys.It's important to understand that our forums are not open marketplaces for direct advertising or the display of goods. While we deeply value and appreciate the presence of business proprietors from around the world, and I personally welcome them on this podcast to share their expertise, the forums themselves maintain a focus on community interaction rather than commercial promotion.This distinction is crucial for maintaining the integrity of our community and ensuring that the primary purpose remains the exchange of knowledge and support. We believe that by creating a space free from overt advertising, we can cultivate a more authentic and meaningful experience for all members.However, I recognize the importance of connecting our community with valuable resources. That's why I'm dedicated to featuring business owners and experts on this podcast. Here, we can explore their offerings in a conversational and informative way, allowing you to learn more about the products and services that may benefit your holistic journey.We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in upholding these guidelines.

What to bring when you haven't got a thing? For those rural and remote families who suddenly find themselves aboard an RFDS flight to a faraway city hospital, having a few 'overnight essentials' close at hand can make all the difference. But it was at the moment when Kalgoorlie mum, Kim Luke, found herself in that very situation - with just her sick son's Batman Backpack with her on an emergency retrieval flight to Perth - that the idea of a 'Grab and Go Bag' came to her. But what makes Kim's generous idea even more remarkable was that at the time, she was facing one of the worst days of her life. Because Kim's son Jayden was gravely ill, and his Doctors had no idea what was happening to him. Today, Jayden is a health, active boy who loves his bikes. But just a few short years ago, Jayden was diagnosed with one of the most common but aggressive forms of childhood cancer - a Wilms Tumour. This is Jayden's journey.****Thanks so much for listening to this episode of the Flying Doctor Podcast. It is lovely to have you along on the journey with us.

Brad now works with Family First, an amazing adolescent program that supports teens (ages 12–17) who are struggling with addiction.

Dr. Briana Chen is a postdoctoral neuroscientist at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where she researches sex differences in stress resistance and psychiatric disorders. Briana is particularly interested in developing sex-specific treatments for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. She won numerous awards for her scientific work and was included in Forbes 2023 list of 30 under 30. Briana shares her Chinese mom May's lessons on the value of education, continuous learning, and curiosity about the world; about how important it is to question things and to always try understanding the “why” – as Briana explained, this helps her to find motivation for her scientific work and for pursuing grants and awards for her research. Finally, we learn about giving back – for Briana, it meant using her research to support those who are often overseen by the scientific and medical establishment – in her case, women.
