Freedom To Make One's Own Mistakes With Guest Neurodiversity Advocate Chantal Gagnon. LB@S4E6

"Mom never allowed me to shy away from the challenges," says Chantal who refers to herself as a neurodiversity advocate. At a young age, Chantal's mom picked up that that her daughter's learning abilities seemed off. It was clear that Chantal's behavior at home didn't reflect correctly with her report cards. Chantal struggled in school, in part due to her learning difficulties plus the social pressures from her piers and bullying. But again, it was Yvonne who continually encouraged her daughter to "not worry about it. You'll always run your own business." Chantal wishes she had seen her mom's sensibility earlier on instead of putting more pressure on herself to tackle fields of study that were too rigorous, ie, sciences and graphic design. According to my guest, "my mother taught me how to manage and look out for my burnout." One of the most important messages that Chantal wants to get across is " no one should ever be ashamed of the tools or the accommodations they need because of neurodiversity disabilities." Now, starting her own business has lessened the pressure on Chantal. SOCOLO came about because of the difficulties she had when reading and focusing on words specifically on white paper or causing 'visual stress.' "50% of the people with Autism and 50% of the people with Dyslexia also have visual stress or Irlin Syndrome. So white paper doesn't quite work with our group. The whole idea behind SOCOLO was to deal with the emotional side of Dyslexia." Chantal has a wonderful story to tell of the strength of her mother and how important it was that her mother never faulted her daughter for her challenges, yet lifter her up and encouraged her every step of the way.

Balaton always calms me."Hu: Az utazás fárasztó volt Levente számára, de Zoltán és Eszter mindent megtettek, hogy kényelmét biztosítsák.En: The journey was exhausting for Levente, but Zoltán and Eszter did everything to ensure his comfort.Hu: Együtt csónakáztak, és megnézték a naplementét.En: They rowed together and watched the sunset.Hu: Az ég rózsaszín és narancs színekben pompázott.En: The sky blazed with pink and orange colors.Hu: Egy este Levente a tó partján ült, mialatt a víz halk hullámai követték egymást.En: One evening, Levente sat by the lake while the gentle waves followed one another.Hu: Mélyen beszívta a levegőt.En: He took a deep breath.Hu: Abban a pillanatban úgy érezte, mintha a tó suttogta volna neki, hogy minden rendben lesz.En: In that moment, it felt as if the lake whispered to him that everything would be alright.Hu: Békességet érzett, amely eddig ismeretlen volt számára.En: He felt peace, which was previously unknown to him.Hu: "Bármilyen nehéz is a jövő, itt, most, úgy érzem, erős vagyok," mondta halkan, maga elé meredve.En: "No matter how hard the future is, here, now, I feel strong," he said quietly, staring ahead.Hu: "Melletted vagyunk, Levente," bátorította Eszter.En: "We are with you, Levente," encouraged Eszter.Hu: Mindannyian csöndben figyelték a vizet, osztozva abban a csendes pillanatban, amely mindegyikük szívét megérintette.En: They all quietly watched the water, sharing that silent moment that touched each of their hearts.Hu: Visszatérve az utazásból, Levente reménnyel telt meg.En: Returning from the trip, Levente was filled with hope.Hu: Tudta, hogy a műtét nehéz lesz, de már nem félt egyedül szembenézni vele.En: He knew the surgery would be difficult, but he was no longer afraid to face it alone.Hu: Zoltán és Eszter mellett álltak.En: Zoltán and Eszter stood by his side.Hu: Fejében még mindig ott zúgott a Balaton halk vízhangja.En: In his mind, the gentle echo of Balaton's waters still resounded.Hu: Ez alkalommal, amikor megölelte Zoltánt, majd Esztert, nem takarta el az érzéseit.En: This time, when he hugged Zoltán and then Eszter, he didn't hide his feelings.Hu: A Balaton partján szerzett új tapasztalat több, hanem egy új kezdetet is adott neki.En: The new experience he gathered on the shores of Balaton gave him not only more but also a new beginning.Hu: A sors, a barátság, és a szeretet mind fontos részei lettek az életének.En: Fate, friendship, and love all became important parts of his life.Hu: És most már tudta, hogy minden egyes nap ajándék, amit meg kell becsülni.En: And now he knew that every single day is a gift to be cherished.

Transcript:Sv: Solen strålade in genom de stora fönstren i sjukhusets återhämtningsrum.En: The sun streamed in through the large windows of the hospital's recovery room.Sv: Skuggan av löv från trädet utanför dansade över de vita väggarna.En: The shadow of leaves from the tree outside danced across the white walls.Sv: Det var en lugnande syn, men Sofia kunde inte känna lugnet.En: It was a soothing sight, but Sofia couldn't feel calm.Sv: Högar av papper på jobbet, obetalda räkningar hemma och ansvar för sin familj pressade henne från alla håll.En: Piles of papers at work, unpaid bills at home, and responsibilities for her family pressed her from all sides.Sv: Men just nu fanns bara en sak i hennes tankar – hennes mamma, Klara.En: But right now, there was only one thing in her mind – her mother, Klara.Sv: Hon gick tyst längs korridorerna, hennes skor skrapade lätt mot golvet.En: She walked quietly along the corridors, her shoes lightly scraping against the floor.Sv: Värmen från sommaren hade inte berört de svala sjukhusrummen.En: The warmth of summer hadn't touched the cool hospital rooms.Sv: När hon kom fram till rummet stod dörren på glänt.En: When she reached the room, the door was slightly ajar.Sv: Hon hörde ett mjukt prassel av sänglakan och ett lågt mummel från TV:n.En: She heard a soft rustle of bed sheets and a low mumble from the TV.Sv: "Hej, mamma," sade Sofia mjukt när hon klev in.En: "Hi, Mom," said Sofia softly as she stepped in.Sv: Klara, som låg blek men leende i sängen, vände blicken mot henne.En: Klara, who lay pale but smiling in the bed, turned her gaze toward her.Sv: "Åh, min kära Sofia.En: "Oh, my dear Sofia.Sv: Du är här," svarade Klara med en trött men varm röst.En: You're here," replied Klara with a tired but warm voice.Sv: Det fanns ett ögonblick av tystnad medan Sofia tog en stol och satte sig vid sängkanten.En: There was a moment of silence while Sofia took a chair and sat down next to the bed.Sv: De pratade om allt och inget.En: They talked about everything and nothing.Sv: Om arbetsdagen, om sommarens värme, om växterna i trädgården som Klara saknade.En: About the workday, about the summer heat, about the plants in the garden that Klara missed.Sv: Sofia kände pressen lossna lite för varje berättelse och varje skratt de delade.En: Sofia felt the pressure ease a bit with every story and every laugh they shared.Sv: "Det är okej att känna sig överväldigad, Sofia," sa Klara plötsligt och bröt deras lättsamma samtal.En: "It's okay to feel overwhelmed, Sofia," Klara suddenly said, breaking their lighthearted conversation.Sv: "Du bär mycket på dina axlar.En: "You carry a lot on your shoulders.Sv: Men glöm inte att du också behöver vila och ta hand om dig själv."En: But don't forget that you also need to rest and take care of yourself."Sv: Sofia såg ner på sina händer.En: Sofia looked down at her hands.Sv: Det hon fruktat att höra – och samtidigt behövt.En: It was what she feared to hear – and at the same time needed.Sv: Hon kände sig sedd och förstådd på en djupare nivå.En: She felt seen and understood on a deeper level.Sv: De satte sig tysta en stund, tills Sofia bröt stillheten.En: They sat quietly for a moment, until Sofia broke the silence.Sv: "Jag bestämde mig för att ta ledigt.En: "I decided to take some time off.Sv: Vill spendera mer tid med dig," sade hon.En: I want to spend more time with you," she said.Sv: En suck av lättnad lämnade henne.En: A sigh of relief left her.Sv: Så småningom fylldes rummet åter av deras röster och skratt.En: Eventually, the room was once again filled with their voices and laughter.Sv: När solen började gömma sig bakom horisonten, reste sig Sofia.En: As the sun began to hide behind the horizon, Sofia stood up.Sv: Hon kände sig lättare, som om en tyngd lyfts från hennes axlar.En: She felt lighter, as if a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.Sv: "Hejdå, mamma.En: "Goodbye, Mom.Sv: Vi ses imorgon," sa hon och kramade om Klara.En: I'll see you tomorrow," she said and hugged Klara.Sv: Klara log och vinkade adjö.En: Klara smiled and waved goodbye.Sv: När Sofia gick ut från sjukhuset och ut i den varma sommarkvällen, kändes luften annorlunda.En: As Sofia left the hospital and stepped into the warm summer evening, the air felt different.Sv: Merediths ord ekade i henne och gav henne en ny styrka.En: Meredith's words echoed in her and gave her new strength.Sv: Sofia var inte ensam i sina ansvar.En: Sofia was not alone in her responsibilities.Sv: Hon förstod nu att hon, precis som hennes mamma, måste vårda sina behov och leva med balans.En: She now understood that just like her mother, she needed to tend to her own needs and live with balance.Sv: Solen sjönk långsamt ner och kastade sitt sista ljus över sjukhuset.En: The sun slowly sank down, casting its last light over the hospital.Sv: Och medan kvällen lindrade dagen, fann Sofia också frid i sina tankar och i sitt hjärta.En: And as the evening wrapped up the day, Sofia also found peace in her thoughts and in her heart.

Before you proceed, I want to warn you, that this episode does contain graphic content that some may find disturbing. Vivace is a very bright woman who received her undergraduate and graduate degree in Biology from Cornell University. She worked in the medical field for twelve years before becoming a speaker and life coach. My guest explains that "my mother was my BFF and she lives for her children." This was all terribly hard because Vivace always wanted her mother "to feel valued and honored yet she was at the bottom of everyone's totem pole." Unfortunately, the abuse toward she and her mother started when Vivace was very young and continued until both women left the family, leaving behind the two sons as they chose to remain with their father. Yet, Vivace recalls asking her mother on a regular basis "can we leave today, can we leave today" but it was years before they left. From a young age, Vivace would confront her father verbally about the abuse, but her bravery came with a price. With $100 in their pocket, both women left the horrific beatings behind and found shelter with family members who unfortunately knew of the abuse, but never came to Jaleh's rescue. Through many years of depression, pain, anger, resentment and a planned suicide, Vivace began her healing process through therapy, research and seeking the truth. She uses her past experience as a tool to help her clients improve their self worth and confidence through compassion and understanding. Ultimately, the client has to realize that the possibilities are limitless.

Cate-whaaat? If you've ever heard the word "catechesis" and wondered what it means for your homeschool, this one's for you. In this episode of the Everyday Educator podcast, host Delise welcomes back Rachel Thompson and Amy Jones to unpack the Classical Conversations catechesis wheel — the diagram that puts God at the center and shows how every strand of learning connects back to His character — and to talk about what it really looks like to keep Christ at the center of home education, not as one more subject, but as the source everything else flows from. Rachel and Amy open by sharing their testimonies — one who came to a personal faith as a young child, one who found it in college — a reminder that the Lord meets each of us right where we are. From there the conversation moves to the scriptures that compel us to disciple our children (Deuteronomy 6, Ephesians 6, and the "new creation" of 2 Corinthians 5:17), how to marry rearing and schooling into one integrated lifestyle rather than separating "school time" from "God time," and how classical skills — resilience, perseverance, wrestling with hard truths — actually equip children to think higher thoughts about God. The three also speak tenderly to parents carrying shame or the false weight of believing their child's salvation rests on their shoulders, returning again and again to the gospel: there is no condemnation for those in Christ, and our calling is to be faithful, not perfect. You don't have to have it all figured out. Keep pointing to Christ, keep learning alongside your children, and remember the mission at the center of it all: to know God and make Him known. This episode of Everyday Educator is sponsored by: Classical Conversations Plus Classical Fellowship. The Classical Fellowship extends classical Christian formation into the years after Challenge, providing Christ-centered worldview formation, classical thinking skills, and Christ-centered community while graduates pursue their calling — whether college, trade, missions, or vocation.

Story Transcript:Ca: A sota dels turons ondulats de Catalunya, allà on les flors ballen al ritme del vent suau, es troba la granja de flors de la família de Pere.En: Beneath the rolling hills of Catalunya, where the flowers dance to the rhythm of the gentle wind, lies the flower farm of Pere's family.Ca: Les flors brillen, com un mar de colors sota el sol d'estiu.En: The flowers shine like a sea of colors under the summer sun.Ca: Avui, el poble està animat pel mercat artesanal local, un lloc perfecte per evocar el passat i trobar el regal especial que Pere vol per a la seva mare.En: Today, the village is buzzing with the local artisan market, a perfect place to evoke the past and find the special gift that Pere wants for his mother.Ca: Pere havia tornat al poble després d'anys a Barcelona.En: Pere had returned to the village after years in Barcelona.Ca: A la ciutat, ho tenia tot, però en el seu cor hi faltava alguna cosa.En: In the city, he had everything, but something was missing in his heart.Ca: Volia re-connectar amb les seves arrels.En: He wanted to reconnect with his roots.Ca: La Festa Major era la ocasió perfecta, però primer, havia de trobar un regal adequat.En:

mentre les parades lluïen objectes artesanals, cada un amb la seva història.En: The melodies of the festival vibrated in the background, while the stalls shone with handmade crafts, each with its own story.Ca: Tot i l'alegria del moment, Pere se sentia aclaparat per la quantitat d'opcions.En: Despite the happiness of the moment, Pere felt overwhelmed by the number of options.Ca: Després d'una estona, va veure Montserrat, una amiga de l'adolescència i artesana respectada.En: After a while, he saw Montserrat, a friend from adolescence and a respected artisan.Ca: “Montserrat, necessito la teva ajuda”, li va dir.En: "Montserrat, I need your help," he said to her.Ca: “Busco un regal que sigui especial per la meva mare.En: "I'm looking for a gift that is special for my mother.Ca: Algo que representi la nostra terra i cultura.En: Something that represents our land and culture."Ca: ”Montserrat va somriure.En: Montserrat smiled.Ca: “Pere, jo conec algú que pot tenir exactament el que busques.En: "Pere, I know someone who might have exactly what you're looking for.Ca: Es diu Jordi i fa escultures amb flors.En: His name is Jordi and he makes sculptures with flowers.Ca: Els seus treballs parlen al cor.En: His works speak to the heart."Ca: ” Li va indicar on trobar la parada de Jordi.En: She pointed him to where Jordi's stall was.Ca: Pere va buscar entre la multitud fins que va trobar Jordi.En: Pere searched through the crowd until he found Jordi.Ca: Les escultures de flors eren espectaculars: roses vermelles i lavanda, flors silvestres que recordaven els paisatges catalans.En: The flower sculptures were spectacular: red roses and lavender, wildflowers that reminded him of the Catalan landscapes.Ca: Una peça en particular va captar la seva atenció.En: One piece in particular caught his attention.Ca: Era una escultura feta de flors silvestres, cada pètal semblava explicar una història antiga, un tros de la seva pròpia història.En: It was a sculpture made of wildflowers, each petal seemed to tell an ancient story, a piece of his own history.Ca: Va comprar l'escultura i, amb ella embolicada amb cura, es va unir a la gent del poble mentre la Festa Major començava.En: He bought the sculpture and, with it carefully wrapped, he joined the villagers as the Festa Major began.Ca: Les llums es van encendre, les rialles omplien l'aire i la seva mare el va rebre amb un somriure ampli.En: The lights turned on, laughter filled the air, and his mother greeted him with a broad smile.Ca: Quan li va oferir el regal, ella va quedar emocionada.En: When he offered her the gift, she was moved.Ca: “És bell, Pere.En: "It's beautiful, Pere.Ca: Em recorda a quan tu eres un nen i corries per aquests camps.En: It reminds me of when you were a child and ran through these fields."Ca: ” Pere va somriure, o encara més, va sentir una calidesa al cor que havia buscat durant temps.En: Pere smiled, or even more, felt a warmth in his heart that he had sought for a long time.Ca: Finalment, mentre la música sonava de fons i les estrelles brillaven per sobre, Pere va comprendre que les seves arrels no estaven només en la terra, sinó també en aquests petits, però significatius moments de connexió.En: Finally, as the music played in the background and the stars shone above, Pere understood that his roots were not just in the land, but also in these small, yet significant moments of connection.Ca: El seu cor era, ara sí, complet.En: His heart was, now indeed, complete.

Transcript:Sv: Blomstergirlander hängde över borden, och ljusa björkar reste sig som stolta vakter vid Sigtunasjöns strand.En: Flower garlands hung over the tables, and bright birches stood like proud guards by Sigtuna Lake's shore.Sv: Elin såg ut över den glittrande vattenytan medan hon ordnade de sista förberedelserna för Midsommarfirandet.En: Elin looked out over the sparkling water surface as she arranged the final preparations for the Midsummer celebration.Sv: På marken bildade blomsterkransar en färgglad stig, och i luften fanns doften av nybakad jordgubbstårta och nyskördade potatisar.En: On the ground, flower wreaths formed a colorful path, and in the air was the scent of freshly baked strawberry cake and freshly harvested potatoes.Sv: Elin älskade Midsommar.En: Elin loved Midsummer.Sv: Det var en tid för gemenskap och glädje.En: It was a time for community and joy.Sv: Men den här gången hade hon ett särskilt mål.En: But this time she had a special goal.Sv: Hon ville återförenas med sin bror Nils.En: She wanted to reunite with her brother Nils.Sv: Även om de alltid hade varit nära kunde hon känna en osynlig barriär mellan dem.En: Even though they had always been close, she could feel an invisible barrier between them.Sv: Vid sin sida hade hon Sofie, sin eviga vän vars plötsliga återkomst gett henne blandade känslor.En: By her side was Sofie, her eternal friend whose sudden return brought her mixed feelings.Sv: Himlen blev allt mörkare.En: The sky grew darker.Sv: Tunga moln började rulla över sjöns horisont.En: Heavy clouds began to roll over the lake's horizon.Sv: Elin såg oroat uppåt.En: Elin looked up worriedly.Sv: De hade inte räknat med regn.En: They hadn't counted on rain.Sv: Folk började snegla mot himlen och deras skratt dämpades något.En: People started glancing at the sky, and their laughter was somewhat muted.Sv: Elin behövde fatta ett beslut och snabbt.En: Elin needed to make a decision and quickly.Sv: ”Vi kan flytta allt till bystugan,” sa Nils, plötsligt ställd vid hennes sida.En: “We can move everything to the village cottage,” said Nils, suddenly by her side.Sv: Hans leende kämpade mot ovädret.En: His smile battled against the storm.Sv: Elin nickade, tacksam för hans stöd.En: Elin nodded, grateful for his support.Sv: Tillsammans med gästerna bar de in alla dekorationer och mat i skydd från stormen.En: Together with the guests, they carried in all the decorations and food for protection from the storm.Sv: Inne i den mysiga stugan fylldes rummen snabbt av värme och vänskap.En: Inside the cozy cottage, the rooms quickly filled with warmth and friendship.Sv: Ljuset från levande ljus speglade sig i fönstren medan regnet smattrade mot rutan.En: The light from candles reflected in the windows while the rain pattered against the glass.Sv: Plötsligt tog Sofie till orda.En: Suddenly, Sofie spoke up.Sv: "Jag har en nyhet," sa hon, och fick allas uppmärksamhet.En: "I have some news," she said, getting everyone's attention.Sv: Elin stirrade på sin vän.En: Elin stared at her friend.Sv: Sofie andades djupt.En: Sofie took a deep breath.Sv: ”Jag tänker stanna här i Sigtuna.En: “I am thinking about staying here in Sigtuna.Sv: Jag är trött på att resa hela tiden.” Nyheten var både överraskande och välkomnande.En: I'm tired of traveling all the time.” The news was both surprising and welcoming.Sv: Elin kände en våg av glädje men också ett stänk av oro.En: Elin felt a wave of joy but also a tinge of worry.Sv: Förändring kunde ibland vara svår.En: Change could sometimes be difficult.Sv: Utanför blixtrade himlen till, och Nils tog chansen att tala.En: Outside, the sky flashed, and Nils took the chance to speak.Sv: "Elin, vi måste prata," sa han.En: "Elin, we need to talk," he said.Sv: Deras blickar möttes i skenet från blixten.En: Their gazes met in the flash of lightning.Sv: ”Jag har alltid beundrat hur du bär allting med stil.En: “I have always admired how you handle everything with poise.Sv: Men ibland känner jag mig som en besvikelse.” Elin tog ett djupt andetag.En: But sometimes I feel like a disappointment.” Elin took a deep breath.Sv: ”Nils, du är ingen besvikelse.En: “Nils, you are not a disappointment.Sv: Du är ljuset i mitt liv.” Hon kände hur orden helt enkelt föll på plats.En: You are the light in my life.” She felt how the words simply fell into place.Sv: De talade om gamla minnen och delade tårar blandat med skratt.En: They talked about old memories and shared tears mixed with laughter.Sv: Midsommarnatten blev en tid för sanningar och ny förståelse.En: Midsummer night became a time for truths and new understanding.Sv: När stormen bedarrade och festen återupptogs under stjärnor och blomster girlander, kände Elin en ny frihet.En: When the storm subsided and the celebration resumed under stars and flower garlands, Elin felt a new freedom.Sv: Hon hade mött stormen, både den på himlen och den inom hennes hjärta.En: She had faced the storm, both in the sky and within her heart.Sv: Och medan musiken och dansen fyllde natten visste hon att att styrkan låg i modet att möta förändringar och att hålla de hon älskade nära.En: And as the music and dance filled the night, she knew that the strength lay in the courage to face changes and to keep those she loved close.

The Justin Baldoni Video Worked Because It Didn't Look Like PR

Justin Baldoni hadn't said a public word in almost two years. Then last week he propped up a phone, sat down next to his wife Emily, and posted a video to his own Instagram — no publicist, no People magazine. I told NBC News the most strategic thing about the video is how unstrategic it looked, and in this episode I show you the receipts.I walk through every move the way I teach my own clients: the owned-channel play (stop fighting Meta's algorithm — bring the crisis to your channel), the optics of the couch and the army-green T-shirt, the family deployment (why Emily delivered the hardest lines, and why Blake Lively's version of that move — deploying Taylor Swift — backfired), the one-word message of gratitude, and the timing window that opened the moment the Taylor Swift wedding coverage cooled. Then my partner Muck Rack and I ran the numbers: 623 articles in four days, 60.7% positive sentiment, only 7.2% negative, and a word cloud that finally puts Justin Baldoni's name in the center of the story instead of Blake Lively's.You'll also hear the other side of the NBC 'Heartfelt or Creepy' headline — the crisis consultant (a onetime Harvey Weinstein rep) who called the video creepy and pointless — and why I disagree: Baldoni is in reputation repair, he needs to be hireable again, and in this game you need to have the last word.Chapters:0:00 No publicist, no People magazine — the whole move2:40 Two years of Baldoni v.

I feel that I got an up close and personal invitation into the life of a female pioneer who because of her own accomplishments, worked alongside other fearless women who broke through barriers. So when your mother sets the bar super high, what do you do? One follows suit apparently. And that's exactly what Andrea Ippolito has done. As I mention in my introduction, she has a very impressive background. Both mother and daughter are engineers and their lives/personalities are very much intertwined or "tangled" as Andrea says. In this episode you'll hear stories of Mary working with female astronauts redesigning the first female space suit so it's anatomically correct for a woman. That's something significant that never crossed my mind until I heard these stories. Andrea says that her mom is still an inspiration to her. "Mom raised us to stick up for ourselves" recalls Ippolito. Andrea says her mother was always there for her, she encouraged her to experience different things and situations. Mary says, "she taught me that we need more women innovators at the table designing the next generation of women's health products with their own lived experience whenever possible." About Andrea:Andrea Ippolito currently serves as the CEO and Founder of SimpliFed. Prior to joining Cornell, Andrea served as the Director of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Innovators Network within the VA Center for Innovation and served as a Presidential Innovation Fellow based out of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and General Services Administration. She was the Co-Founder of an innovative application that improves access to care called Smart Scheduling (acquired by athenahealth in 2016). She also previously served as the Co-Director of MIT Hacking Medicine, as an Innovation Specialist at the Brigham Innovation Hub and Product Innovation Manager at athenahealth.

Story Transcript:Sv: Solen gick sakta ner över de gamla murarna i Visby.En: The sun slowly set over the ancient walls in Visby.Sv: Sommarkvällen var varm, och stjärnorna började tända himlen över Gotland.En: The summer evening was warm, and the stars began to illuminate the sky over Gotland.Sv: Det var festival i staden.En: There was a festival in the town.Sv: Gatorna var fyllda med musik och skratt.En: The streets were filled with music and laughter.Sv: Ljuset från lyktorna reflekterade i de glada ansiktena.En: The light from the lanterns reflected in the happy faces.Sv: Axel och Linnea promenerade längs de kullerstensbelagda gatorna, omgivna av doften av nygrillade korvar och söt sockervadd.En: Axel and Linnea strolled along the cobblestone streets, surrounded by the scent of freshly grilled sausages and sweet cotton candy.Sv: Axel kände hjärtat slå lite snabbare än vanligt.En: Axel felt his heart beating a little faster than usual.Sv: Han hade väntat på detta ögonblick hela sommaren.En: He had been waiting for this moment all summer.Sv: Han var äventyrslysten av naturen men nu var det något som hindrade honom från att vara spontant.En: He was adventurous by nature, but now something was preventing him from being spontaneous.Sv: Linnea såg så obesvärad ut när hon pekade på ett par gycklare som kastade eld i luften och skrattade glatt.En: Linnea looked so at ease as she pointed at a couple of jugglers throwing fire into the air and laughed merrily.Sv: Men Axel visste att hon brottades med en stor beslut.En: But Axel knew she was wrestling with a big decision.Sv: Ett jobberbjudande som skulle ta henne långt bort från Sverige.En: A job offer that would take her far away from Sweden.Sv: De stannade en stund för att titta på ett band spela på en öppen scen.En: They stopped for a while to watch a band play on an open stage.Sv: Musikens rytm blandades med sorlet från folkmassan.En: The rhythm of the music mixed with the buzz of the crowd.Sv: Axel försökte samla mod.En: Axel tried to gather courage.Sv: Han ville säga allt han kände.En: He wanted to say everything he felt.Sv: Medan han kämpade med sina tankar tog han Linneas hand, och de gick mot en tystare del av festivalen.En: While he struggled with his thoughts, he took Linnea's hand, and they walked towards a quieter part of the festival.Sv: Linnea märkte Axels ovanliga tystnad.En: Linnea noticed Axel's unusual silence.Sv: Hon hade alltid uppskattat hans sällskap och deras gemensamma minnen från barndomen.En: She had always appreciated his company and their shared childhood memories.Sv: Men något i hans uttryck fick henne att undra.En: But something in his expression made her wonder.Sv: När de nådde en plats med utsikt över det sprakande festivalområdet satte de sig ner.En: When they reached a spot overlooking the sparkling festival area, they sat down.Sv: Linnea tittade på honom, "Är det något du vill prata om, Axel?"En: Linnea looked at him, "Is there something you want to talk about, Axel?"Sv: Det var stunden han hade väntat på.En: It was the moment he had been waiting for.Sv: Axel tog ett djupt andetag och tittade Linnea i ögonen, "Jag älskar dig, Linnea.En: Axel took a deep breath and looked Linnea in the eyes, "I love you, Linnea.Sv: Och jag önskar att du stannar."En: And I wish you would stay."Sv: Linnea blev överraskad.En: Linnea was surprised.Sv: Hennes hjärta hoppade till.En: Her heart skipped a beat.Sv: Hon hade inte förväntat sig dessa ord, inte här, inte nu.En: She hadn't expected these words, not here, not now.Sv: Hennes blick mjuknade, och hon kände en värme sprida sig genom kroppen.En: Her gaze softened, and she felt warmth spread through her body.Sv: "Axel", började hon, "jag vet inte vad jag ska säga.En: "Axel," she began, "I don't know what to say.Sv: Det här är mycket att tänka på."En: This is a lot to think about."Sv: Medan fyrverkerierna började lysa upp natthimlen satt de där, nära varandra, i tystnaden som följde.En: As the fireworks began to light up the night sky, they sat there, close to each other, in the silence that followed.Sv: De delade en stund av klarhet och ärlighet.En: They shared a moment of clarity and honesty.Sv: Linnea lade handen på Axels, "Jag behöver tid.En: Linnea placed her hand on Axel's, "I need time.Sv: Tid att tänka, både på oss och på jobbet."En: Time to think, both about us and the job."Sv: Axel log tacksamt.En: Axel smiled gratefully.Sv: Han hade sagt vad han behövde säga, och även om framtiden var osäker kändes det som om en viktig del av honom hade fått ro.En: He had said what he needed to say, and even though the future was uncertain, it felt as if an important part of him had found peace.Sv: De lovade varandra att vara ärliga, oavsett vad framtiden skulle föra med sig.En: They promised each other to be honest, no matter what the future would bring.Sv: På väg tillbaka till festivalens festligheter kände Axel en ny funnen styrka.En: On their way back to the festival's festivities, Axel felt a newfound strength.Sv: Han hade äntligen sagt vad han alltid velat.En: He had finally said what he had always wanted.Sv: Och Linnea, hon kände att denna natt hade gett henne nya insikter om vad som verkligen betydde något.En: And Linnea, she felt that this night had given her new insights into what really mattered.Sv: Kanske skulle detta beslut att stanna eller åka inte bara bero på jobbet, utan också på hur mycket hon värderade den plats och de människor hon älskade.En: Perhaps this decision to stay or go would not only depend on the job but also on how much she valued the place and the people she loved.Sv: Visby lyste som ett smycke i natten och bland ljudet av musik och glädje vandrade två vänner vidare, osäkra men hoppfulla inför allt som låg framför dem.En: Visby shone like a jewel in the night and among the sounds of music and joy, two friends continued on, uncertain but hopeful for everything that lay ahead of them.

As the middle child of five, Ping experienced a lot of family pressure and political pressure as she was raised in China during The Cultural Revolution from 1966 through 1976. Enduring tremendous upheaval, it took a toll on Ping and her family. Perhaps because of Ping's past, she found it in her heart to stand up against society and family. Ping was there for her daughter at a number of crucial life changing events. She deserves a lot of credit for believing in her daughter and her daughter's behavior, when culturally it was frowned upon. In one particular situation that you'll hear about in the interview Leslie says "my mom's lack of response saved me." So many lessons to learn from two women, very similar personalities yet a generation apart. Leslie shares that she knew at a young age that she wanted to leave China and go to college in the United States and it was her mother who stood in front of thousands and advocated for her daughter and didn't succumb to the intimidation. Today, Leslie is a mom and business owner. She is not a doctor, yet after her own experience of weight gain and years of studying and research, she now is able to help others with their food obsession. Her philosophy incorporates current day reasonings as well as Chinese traditions to reprogram your relationship with food. "It's rather a lifestyle and a kind of mindset and routine which can help you loose the weight effectively without being addicted to this weight loss game," suggests Chen. One of her suggestions for curbing further cravings for sugar is, "Teassert." She explains in the interview. Hope you enjoy our conversation.

Anxiety Got In The Way Of Her Beautiful Personality With Guest Children's Author Kristina Lucia. LB@ S4E2.

My guest, Kristina, was fortunate to have at least two significant female role models in her life. One being her mother and the other, her maternal grandmother, Lucia, who was the more compassionate one. As the oldest of three children, Kristina felt that her mom was hardest on her. She shares wonderful stories of cooking delicious Italian food with her mom, everything from scratch and loves having all the family recipes. Her mother was very talented and creative, very charismatic yet her mom didn't believe in herself, didn't have the same confidence that her daughter has. "She was an amazing seamstress, made all their Communion dresses and gowns." Unfortunately, Linda Marie "suffered from a lot of anxieties and narcissism as well and it would affect her and make her really insecure," reflects my guest. As an adult, Kristina has been in therapy and it's helped her to start her healing process. This has been a difficult journey however, Kristina has come to understand and appreciate that "her mom was doing the best with what she had. She was working to be the best version of herself every day." Lucia also shares with us her beautifully crocheted -Curiously Created Creations-Bella and friends. Lucia's mom always wanted her daughter to be a teacher. Now, Kristina has created these darling children's books and stuffed animals "to help children process their feelings and help them navigate through their range of emotions. "These books are love letters to my mom. I think it's important to acknowledge the trauma, it's important to see the dysfunciton, but the healing is equily as important because it's showing that we do have a choice. My mom's choice was to raise the best kids she could possibly raise." Her main character of the series is Bella Lucia. The mission of the series, explains Kristina, "is communication between parents and children. I like to focus on that because when we're able to identify through our feelings and communicate with each other, we're able to acknowledge it and get down to the why." I hope you enjoy our conversation.

It was a pleasure to speak with Jessica and listen as she shared all that she experienced as a high school drop out and single mother with a husband behind bars. This major turning point in her life, motivated her to complete her GED as well as complete college and law school, with honors, in order to help those similarly unfamiliar with the way the criminal justice system works. When you hear the compelling stories about both Jessica and her mother, you'll say, 'the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.' Both women have been working tirelessly for decades in order to educate victims and their family members, as well as inform society to be more compassionate and aware and to update the parole and probation system. Resilience is one of the words that Jessica uses over and over again when describing her mother Maria who is originally from Stockholm, Sweden. Jessica also describes her mom as "a pioneer in her field." Very early on in the AIDS epidemic, Maria was involved with helping patients and their families maneuver the scary waters of a frightening disease. While in graduate school, Maria brought her days old daughter Jessica with her to class. Jessica went where ever her mother took her, to HIV/Aids conferences, seminars, etc. "She showed us" says Jessica, when referring to her mother, "by her actions, not her words, on how to live life." Jessica was adamant about how her mom had a "show them, don't tell them" philosophy about life. In other words, Maria was an example by her actions, not her words. Jessica reflects, "I never once saw my mom give up." Again, the parallels between mother and daughter are striking, Maria working with HIV/AIDS patients and Jessica with people in prison. Again, those whose lives were turned upside down, found a smart, caring and devoted women to make a difference in these unfortunate individuals lives. When Kim Kardashian West wanted tutoring in law once aware of wrongfully incarcerated first time offenders, she went to Jessica Jackson for help. On November 29, 2019, USA Today wrote "Kim Kardashian West came on board with the campaign after she heard about Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who had served 21 years of a life sentence for her first-ever drug conviction, and was moved to help. Kardashian West was instrumental in convincing Trump to grant Johnson clemency. " That's just one of thousands of cases that Jackson has had overturned and continues to fight in order to get families back together under one roof. Both of these women with all that they have accomplished and continue to accomplish is living proof that if you set your mind to something, anything and everything is possible. As Maria said to her daughter "you can do anything, you can achieve anything, if you work hard enough." REFORM Alliance Mission Statement: REFORM Alliance aims to transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing. A justice system that holds people accountable and redirects back to work and wellbeing leads to stronger families and safer communities. Instead of keeping people trapped in a revolving door from probation/parole to prison — which costs taxpayers billions of dollars — we're working to move people from the justice system into stability. History REFORM's story starts with the unjust re-imprisonment of recording artist Meek Mill. The shocking two-to-four year sentence he received for popping a wheelie spurred the international #FreeMeek movement, which led to release on bail and eventually his freedom. Although Meek had the resources and public platform to fight his case, his case is only one of millions. The vast majority of people trapped in the system don't get their stories told, or have the resources to fight back. On January 23, 2019, a world-class group of philanthropists and activists came together to launch the REFORM Alliance to change this REFORM Alliance 1675 Broadway, 21st Floor New York, NY 10019-5820 If you would like to learn more about how to support REFORM, please contact us at development@reformalliance.com. #cut50-Co founder along with Van JonesAn organization designed to cut prison populations, but also wipe out the stigmas associated with being incarcerated because of the current criminal justice system.

A Prayer of Heartfelt Gratitude for Fathers

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 21, 2026 7:00 Transcription Available

Born on her father's 25th birthday, Lynette Kittle shares how every few years their shared birthday falls on Father's Day, a coincidence that makes the day feel especially tender and significant. As a child, her father seemed perfect. As an adult, she realized he wasn't, and discovered that it didn't matter nearly as much as she thought it would, because love, as 1 Peter 4:8 reminds us, covers a multitude of sins. In this warm and grace-filled episode for Father's Day, Lynette invites us to shift our gaze from the ways our fathers have disappointed us toward the reasons God has given us to be genuinely grateful for them. Fatherhood, Lynette reminds us, was God's idea from the beginning. He is the original Father of all creation, and He made man in His image to reflect His fatherly qualities and pass His strengths on to future generations. Our fathers don't have to be perfect for us to have hearts full of gratitude for the life God gave us through them, for the lessons they taught us even through their shortcomings, and for the honored place God has given them in the family and in our lives. Whether your father has been faithful and steadfast or has fallen short in significant ways, he is still a man created in the image of God, and that alone is reason enough to bring a prayer of thanksgiving before the Father who made him. Today's Bible Verse "Do not rebuke an older man harshly, but exhort him as if he were your father. Treat younger men as brothers."— 1 Timothy 5:1, NIV Ponder Today Fatherhood was God's idea. He is the original Father, and He created human fathers to reflect His qualities and pass His strengths to future generations. That divine design alone gives us reason for gratitude. Our fathers don't have to be perfect for us to be grateful. Love covers a multitude of sins on both sides of the relationship. Choosing gratitude over grievance is not denial — it is a grace-filled act of faith. Fathers are essential, not expendable. Despite cultural messages that diminish the role of fathers in the family, Scripture is clear: honoring our father and mother is the first commandment given with a promise of blessing (Ephesians 6:2-3). Even a father's shortcomings can teach us something valuable. God works through imperfect people to shape us — what to pursue, what to avoid, how to persevere. The lessons we learn from our fathers, even the hard ones, are not wasted. A Prayer for You Today Dear Father, today we want to express heartfelt gratitude to You for our fathers, for those who have been faithful to You in the honored positions You have given them. We thank You for their steadfastness, love, and endurance. We are grateful for the ways You have strengthened and guided their steps so that they might lead us in righteousness. And Father, we thank You too for the fathers who have fallen short, because even so, they are created in Your image and You gave us life through them. On Father's Day and all year long, we offer heartfelt gratitude to You for creating the fathers through whom You have given us life. In Jesus' name, Amen. Don't Miss an Episode If today's prayer stirred gratitude in your heart for the father God placed in your life, we'd love to stay connected.

The Power of a Heartfelt Tefillah

Daily Emunah Podcast - Daily Emunah By Rabbi David Ashear

Play Episode Listen Later Jun 17, 2026

One of the greatest gifts Hashem has given us is the ability to speak to Him. A person can turn to Hashem at any moment, from any place, and ask for His help. Sometimes we pray for ourselves, and sometimes we pray for others. When we pray for others, we may never get to see what our tefillot have accomplished. We say a few words, shed a few tears, and then move on with our lives. But we must know how valuable every tefillah is. Sometimes Hashem allows us to see just how powerful one heartfelt tefillah can be. A rabbi related the following story, which he heard directly from the man to whom it happened. One evening at around 7:30 in Bnei Brak, there was a knock at a man's door. Anyone with a large family can imagine what a home looks like at that hour. Children everywhere, the house bustling, everyone busy. He opened the door and saw a man standing there. "Mazal Tov," the visitor said. "I just had a baby girl." "Mazal Tov," the man replied, but he was confused. He barely knew the person standing at his door and couldn't understand why he had come. The visitor then asked if he could come in for a few minutes. After sitting down, he said, "I want to take you back about nine months, to Simchat Torah. "I had been married for eighteen years without children. Most of the time I managed, but Simchat Torah was especially painful for me. Everywhere I looked, fathers were dancing with their children. I felt I couldn't take it anymore. I decided I was not going to pray in my regular shul that day. Instead, I went to a different shul where you happened to be praying. "I was sitting by myself there, and you came over to me and asked why I was sitting. You then told me to gather up my children and go dance with everyone. "I answered you sharply. I told you that I had specifically come to this shul because I couldn't bear watching everybody celebrate with their children when I didn't have any. I felt like you had poured salt on my open wound. "You may not have realized it, but after our conversation, I watched you walk over to the Aron Kodesh. You started crying out to Hashem, saying, 'Ribbono Shel Olam, why did I just say that? Why did I speak that way? What did I do? Please help this man. Please send him a yeshuah.'" The man had no idea that anything had come from that tefillah. The visitor continued, "You didn't know my name. You didn't know my story. You knew nothing about me. You simply stood there and begged Hashem to help me, with tears streaming down your face. "Before Sukkot, we had just received results from a major specialist telling us there was virtually no chance we would ever have children. But from Motzaei Simchat Torah until now, everything changed. "Today, after eighteen years of marriage, my first child, a baby girl, was born. You are the very first person I came to tell. I wanted you to know that your tefillah helped bring this yeshuah." Look at how valuable even a short tefillah can be. A person may think that a few words spoken to Hashem cannot possibly make a difference, but they can. This man wasn't even asked to pray. He didn't know any details. He simply felt the pain of another Jew. And when he realized that he may have added to that pain, he ran to the Aron Kodesh and cried out from the depths of his heart. Nine months later, Hashem showed him what those words accomplished. We never know what one sincere tefillah can accomplish. We never know how much can be achieved when we pray for another person with genuine care. Every tefillah matters. Every tear is counted. And sometimes Hashem allows us a glimpse into the incredible power of our words.

5 Years of Impact: A Heartfelt Thank You from The SportsDr

TimeOut With The SportsDr. Podcast

Five years is a long time to stay committed to anything. Over that time, priorities change, responsibilities grow, and life looks different than it did at the beginning. What starts as an idea often requires far more patience, flexibility, and persistence than expected. Building something consistently also teaches lessons that cannot be learned from a book or a course. Many of those lessons come from trial and error, adjusting when things are not working, and continuing even when progress feels slow. It is easy to focus on downloads, views, and other numbers. But some of the most meaningful impact happens in conversations, connections, and feedback from people whose lives have been influenced in ways that cannot always be measured. In this special 5th anniversary episode of Time Out with the Sports Doctor, Dr. Derrick Burgess reflects on the journey from launching the podcast in 2021 to producing more than 220 episodes and interviewing over 130 guests. He shares five lessons he has learned along the way, including the importance of consistency, adaptability, adding value to others, and focusing on impact rather than metrics. Through personal reflections and highlights from past episodes, this conversation offers practical encouragement for anyone working toward a long-term goal or building something that matters to them. "You will never know the extent of your potential until you give it something to do. Your potential needs to be tested." – Dr. Derrick Burgess Topics Covered: 00:01:02 – Celebrating five years of the podcast 00:03:28 – Lesson #1: Consistency is key 00:05:50 – Lesson #2: Don't take yourself too seriously 00:07:18 – Lesson #3: Be adaptable 00:08:31 – Lesson #4: Add value to others 00:10:21 – Lesson #5: The power of organic growth 00:11:13 – Why impact is bigger than numbers 00:13:19 – Just start and keep going 00:15:22 – Finding value in every experience 00:17:24 – Advice for aspiring podcasters 00:18:48 – The importance of delegation and support 00:19:43 – Why the perfect time never comes 00:21:19 – Focus on your trajectory, not your current position 00:22:00 – Defining success through your values 00:23:11 – Mental toughness and positive self-talk 00:24:57 – Growth requires doing the work 00:25:59 – Reaching your full potential 00:26:54 – Closing Key Takeaways: "Consistency is key, and from that, you'll continue to grow, continue to refine your processes, and new opportunities will open up." "Always be open to collaborate with others." "Your impact is more than you can measure through those numbers." "If you are adaptable and you're willing to grow and learn as you go, I promise you it will be a blessing more than you can understand where you are right now." "Your most valuable asset is your time." "The time is now. Waiting on the season to be perfect probably will not occur." "Be more concerned about your trajectory than your current location." "Don't worry about the one that you just shot, worry about the next one." "You can't continue to stay on the negative mental side, because it's just gonna take you down." "Disappoint procrastination and commit to releasing your full potential."
