Guest Jodi Scott is a purpose-driven business leader and entrepreneur passionate about bridging the gap between natural wellness and modern innovation. As the co-founder of Green Goo, she's helped pioneer plant-based alternatives in categories traditionally dominated by synthetics, from first aid to personal care. With a background in science, sales, and sustainability, Jodi brings a fresh perspective to how businesses can grow with integrity, lead with empathy, and stay true to their mission even in fast-changing industries. Summary In this episode, Jeff speaks with Jodi Scott, co-founder of Green Goo, a family-run company that produces plant-based first-aid and wellness products. The conversation traces Green Goo's origins from her sister's early herbalism experiments to a thriving business built around natural healing and sustainability. Jodi shares how her family's blend of skills—her sister's herbology, her mother's tech entrepreneurship, and her own background in health psychology—converged to create a purpose-driven company focused on high-efficacy, natural alternatives to chemical-laden over-the-counter products. She explains the rigorous process behind Green Goo's product formulation, including the FDA's growing recognition of botanical ingredients and the company's commitment to transparent labeling. Beyond product development, Jodi highlights the deeper values that guide the company: spreading goodness, supporting community, and cultivating trust among consumers skeptical of plant-based efficacy. The heart of the conversation comes when Jodi recounts selling the company to a seemingly aligned partner—only to watch it collapse after the buyer's scandal. Forced to lay off her family and staff, she describes the emotional devastation and eventual resilience that followed as they fought to buy the company back. That experience reshaped her understanding of resilience—not as relentless grit, but as the ability to pause, get present, and move forward with clarity. Now, with Green Goo reborn and expanded into a broader wellness portfolio, Jodi continues to advocate for purpose-driven leadership and mindful living, encouraging others to "keep showing up" even when the path is uncertain. The Essential Point Jodi's essential message is that resilience isn't about endless drive—it's about presence, reflection, and finding purpose even amid loss. Her journey with Green Goo shows how values and mindfulness can sustain both people and businesses through profound challenges.

Show yourself real self-kindness in less than 10 minutes with this self-compassion break guided by psychologist Kristin Neff.How To Do This Practice: Identify what's hard right now: Bring to mind a real situation that's causing you stress, sadness, or self-criticism, something that's currently difficult. It could be a mistake, a relationship challenge, or a feeling of not being enough. Acknowledge your pain: Notice what's happening inside you without judgment. Gently name it: “This is hard,” or “I'm really struggling right now.” Remember you're not alone: Remind yourself that struggle is part of being human. Say something like: “Others feel this way too,” or “It's normal to have moments like this.” Offer yourself kindness: Bring warmth to the part of you that's hurting. You might place a hand over your heart, hold your face gently, or clasp your hands. Physical touch helps calm the nervous system and signals care. Speak supportive words to yourself: Say something to yourself that you'd say to a good friend in the same situation like, “I'm here for you.” “It's okay to be imperfect.” “You're doing the best you can.” Let the compassion sink in: Take a few slow breaths. Feel your body softening. Notice any sense of calm, warmth, or ease that arises, even if it's subtle. You can return to this practice anytime you feel overwhelmed or self-critical.

Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. In a powerful Special Episode Podcast of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show, listeners are introduced to an inspiring story of second chances, for both people and dogs. Brett Simon from Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Palm Beach County, Florida, joins host Jay Wiley to share how rescue dogs are being trained to become PTSD service animals for veterans. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and many other podcast platforms. “Every dog deserves a chance, and every veteran deserves help,” says Simon, a former Police K9 Handler and Military Combat Contractor who spent years working with canines in high-stress combat zones. “When we connect the two, a rescue dog needing purpose and a veteran needing healing, something extraordinary happens.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. From the Shelter to Service At Big Dog Ranch Rescue (BDRR), the largest cage-free, no-kill rescue in the United States, dogs once abandoned in shelters are given new lives through their Veteran Service Dog Training Program. The initiative not only transforms the lives of veterans struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but also saves the lives of the dogs themselves. Look for supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . The program's mission is simple yet profound: give rescue dogs a second chance by training them to become PTSD service dogs for veterans and active-duty military personnel. “We're giving hope twice,” Simon explains. “To the veteran who's struggling and to the dog who was once unwanted.” Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. The Healing Power of the Human-Animal Bond PTSD service dogs are specially trained to perform tasks that help alleviate symptoms and improve daily functioning for individuals living with post-traumatic stress. These dogs offer comfort, protection, and companionship, often becoming an essential part of a veteran's healing journey. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Some of the trained tasks include: Interrupting flashbacks or anxiety attacks: by nudging or placing their head on their handler's lap. Providing comfort: through deep pressure therapy by leaning or lying against the veteran. Blocking and covering: positioning themselves in front or behind the veteran to create a sense of security. Waking from nightmares: recognizing distress and gently waking the veteran. Encouraging social interaction: helping veterans reconnect and feel more at ease in public spaces. “PTSD doesn't go away overnight,” Simon says. “But when you have a loyal companion who senses your anxiety and helps ground you, it changes everything. These dogs are trained not just to obey, they're trained to care.” Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Backed by the Veterans Administration The Veterans Administration recognizes Big Dog Ranch Rescue's program as a “Non-Traditional and Innovative” form of therapy. Through this recognition, BDRR works closely with the VA to ensure veterans receive comprehensive support while integrating their new service dogs into their daily lives. Training is provided entirely free of charge for veterans, although those from out of state are required to complete a 21-day on-site training session at the ranch in Florida (which may be spread over several months). Sponsorship opportunities are often available to help offset travel expenses. Each veteran-dog partnership is unique. BDRR's professional trainers use positive reinforcement techniques, tailoring each dog's training to match the veteran's individual needs and lifestyle. The dogs receive full vaccinations, microchipping, and access to reduced-cost veterinary care during their first year through BDRR's veterinary healing center. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. Brett Simon's Personal Journey Brett Simon's credibility in this mission comes not only from his professional background but from his personal experience. As a Police K9 handler, Military K9 contractor, and combat veteran, Simon has lived through the trauma many of these veterans face. Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. “After my deployments, I struggled,” Simon admits in the podcast. “PTSD isn't something you can see on the outside. But working with dogs again helped me reconnect, with myself, with others, and with purpose.” His story of PTSD recovery resonates with countless veterans who find traditional therapy incomplete or inaccessible. Simon emphasizes that service dogs are a complement to, not a replacement for, existing mental health treatment plans. “A dog isn't the cure,” he says, “but they're part of the healing.” You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. Science Supports the Bond Research has shown that PTSD service dogs help reduce anxiety and depression, improve emotional stability, and foster social connection. One study noted that veterans paired with service dogs reported a significant decrease in symptom severity and an improved quality of life. The unique human-animal bond offers veterans structure, companionship, and unconditional support — qualities often difficult to find after leaving the military. “Every partnership is different,” Simon explains. “Just like people, every dog has its own strengths. We simply find the right match.” A Mission of Hope and Second Chances At its core, Big Dog Ranch Rescue's Veteran Service Dog Training Program is about rescuing dogs from shelters and rescuing veterans from isolation. Rescue Dogs Trained To Be PTSD Service Animals For Vets: From Shelter to Service. Don't miss this episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast.  “Our mission is to end dog homelessness,” Simon says. “But in doing that, we're also ending hopelessness for so many of our nation's heroes.” Veterans interested in the program can apply through Big Dog Ranch Rescue's website or reach out via their Facebook, Instagram, or LinkedIn pages.

When we've been hurt, our instinct is to retreat, to heal in private and protect our hearts. But true healing doesn't happen in isolation. It happens when we are witnessed gently, without judgment and reminded that we are not alone. In this episode, I explore the deep human need to belong and the medicine that comes when we allow ourselves to be seen. You'll learn why connection is essential for healing, how shame dissolves in the presence of compassion, and what it truly means to be “held” by another soul. Also, we discuss the difference between fitting in and belonging and how circles of women, sisterhood and a shared truth heals us. If you've been craving connection in your healing, this episode will remind you that you are not alone and that belonging is part of your becoming.

Sometimes, the most powerful stories aren't the ones told with perfect polish — they're the ones told as is. In this episode of Communication Queens, host Kimberly Spencer dives deep with Emmy-nominated filmmaker, producer, and motivational speaker Tricia Creason-Valencia to explore the transformational art of storytelling through chaos. From motherhood to mental health, adoption to artistry, Tricia unpacks the raw truth of what it means to show up when life falls apart — and how those cracks let the light (and connection) in. This isn't your average “five-step-to-success” chat. This is a full-bodied, tear-streaked, truth-soaked conversation about creativity, resilience, and the radical act of gentle acceptance. You'll hear how Tricia turned crisis into creative fuel, motherhood into mentorship, and pain into purpose — all while redefining what it means to be a “multi-hyphenate” in a world obsessed with labels. If you've ever found yourself in the messy middle, wondering what's next — this episode will remind you that just showing up is enough.

In this episode, we're talking about something really important - crying!

Hosted by Dr. Geneva DeVaughn, Spiritual Life Coordinator II at Star of Hope Mission. This brief inspirational message is sure to touch your heart.

The Human Equation with Joe Pangaro – Our decisions are rarely made in a vacuum of logic. Emotions color our perceptions, influence our relationships, and even affect our physical health. Chronic anger, for instance, can lead to high blood pressure, anxiety, and depression. Grief can immobilize us. Shame can isolate us. But emotions also have the power to uplift. Love fosters connection...

Life is full of moments that leave us feeling stuck, broken, or overwhelmed by the impossible. Whether it's a health crisis, a fractured relationship, financial stress, or the weight of our own failures, we all encounter situations that seem beyond hope. Yet, in the midst of these impossibilities, Jesus stands as the one who not only sees our pain but has the power to heal and restore in ways we can't imagine. The story in Luke 5 of the paralyzed man and his friends reminds us that Jesus is not just a remarkable teacher or miracle worker—He is utterly unique, the only one with authority to forgive sins and transform lives from the inside out. When the paralyzed man's friends couldn't get through the crowd, they tore open the roof to bring him to Jesus. Their determination is a picture of the kind of faith that refuses to let obstacles keep us from the only one who can truly help. But notice that Jesus doesn't start by healing the man's legs; He begins with the heart, declaring, “Your sins are forgiven.” This reveals a profound truth: our deepest need isn't just for our circumstances to change, but for our hearts to be made whole. Sin is not just a list of bad choices—it's a condition that affects every part of us, separating us from God and distorting our motives, thoughts, and actions. No amount of good works or self-improvement can bridge the gap between us and a holy God. The standard isn't just being better than others; it's perfection, and none of us can reach it on our own. That's why Jesus came—not to give us a list of steps to climb up to God, but to come down to us, to take our place, and to offer forgiveness and new life as a gift.

In this profound podcast episode, Guy chats with Etienne Peirsman, an expert in cranial sacral therapy, about his incredible journey encompassing a near-death experience and spiritual awakening. Etienne remembers battling severe health issues, including a staph infection that left most of his kidneys dead and his heart malfunctioning. Facing imminent death, he sought refuge in nature, leading to an inexplicable yet complete recovery. Etienne shares how this transformative experience guided him to the practice of cranial sacral therapy, a healing approach he now uses to help others align with their life force and heal naturally through touch and no-mind states. This episode delves deep into the power of intuition, non-mindful awareness, and how reconnecting with nature's energy can lead to profound healing and realignment. Join them as they explore the fundamentals of human existence, the impact of energetic fields on physical health, and the unlimited potential of natural healing. About Etienne: Etienne Peirsman came to Cranio in a non-traditional fashion. After a staph infection left him with nearly 20% kidney function, he found that preparing to die brought him the clarity of total silence. In a remarkable turn of events, he was able to heal his own body, which led him to travel to the Osho International Meditation Center, where he was first introduced to Cranio during an immersive meditation and bodywork training. From this time Cranio became his life's passion. Etienne is the founder of Peirsman Cranio as well as the CranioSacraal Therapie Academy in Holland, where he originated the CranioSacral Professional Organization and is an honorary member of The Dutch CranioSacral Practitioner Society. He produced the first ever online Cranio class, which emphasizes Stem Cells and their superstar capabilities, the Midline as a source of Clarity, and easy ways to reach a No-Mind State. Etienne's first book "Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Small Children" was published by Penguin Random House and he is about to publish his second book "Tantric Aspects of CranioSacral."
