Cleo is a researcher with big dreams of a PhD in anthrozoology, and a guilty pleasure obsession with ‘Know Your Newlywed', a decades-old gameshow where married couples compete by answering obscure questions about each other. She's more invested in her career than in finding a relationship of her own, though—that is, until she comes across Javi's dating app profile, which says he's “looking for someone to win ‘Know Your Newlywed' with.” Sparks fly, and when Cleo and Javi catch wind of a reboot of their beloved show, they apply on a whim, pretending to be newlyweds themselves. Before they know it, they're cast as contestants, playing the part of smitten married couple better than they could've imagined. Their very real chemistry is impossible to ignore, and as the competition heats up, they quickly become America's sweethearts. But how far can Cleo and Javi take their secret? And as they inch closer and closer to a life-changing cash prize, will the mounting pressure and their individual ambitions get in the way of their blossoming romance? Or is their connection strong enough to last once the cameras stop rolling?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Climate change is polarizing. Between inflation, investor pressures, competitiveness, high interest, and economic sluggishness, climate change can seem like a far-off problem — just another thing to worry about. Sustainability often takes a back seat, becoming a “nice to have” instead of a “need to have.” But an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Heather Taylor of EY Canada breaks down how prioritizing climate action is actually a smart investment strategy.Join the Building Good community today:https://www.buildinggood.caLinkedIn

In the lead up to Season 10 we're reviving some of our favorite episodes. Today we bring you Emily's favorite, The Ninety-Nines. It took a certain amount of pure grit to be a pilot in the early days of aviation – and even more for the women who had to defy convention just to get up in the air.  And if you're thinking the only aviatrix was Amelia Earhart – think again. She was just one of a daring group of women aviators who were walking on wings, flying under bridges, breaking altitude records, and racing across the country – in the 1920s! Join Emily, Matt, and Nick as they explore the history of the Ninety-Nines, the organization of women pilots originally led by Earhart and still active today. Documentary-maker Heather Taylor sets the scene of the thrilling and dangerous first Women's National Air Derby in 1929. And Emily discovers an amazing view in her first non-commercial flight (in a tiny four-seater!) with modern-day Ninety-Nine Judy Shaw.Sign up here for the monthly AirSpace newsletter

Growing up in Western Pennsylvania, the Friday night lights were more than just a game—they were a rite of passage that sculpted the sinews of our character. That's the backdrop of my heartfelt conversation with college buddy Matt Landowski, as we relive the glory days of high school sports. We tackle the nostalgia head-on, discussing how the camaraderie on the field led to lifelong bonds and left an indelible mark on our personal growth. From backyard scraps to the echoes of cheering crowds, join us as we revisit the moments that turned us from wide-eyed teens into men forged by the thrill of competition.College was a whole new ballgame, and you'll hear about the detours life threw at us, like the shoulder injury that sent me to Bethany College instead of swimming for WVU. Matt and I recount the mentors who guided us through these pivotal years, giving kudos to Mrs. Samson, Gerald Schultz, and Heather Taylor for their academic support. And let's not overlook the grueling, mud-splattered memories under coaches Weaver, Garvey, and Upton—lessons from the gridiron that never really fade. It's a trip down memory lane that will resonate with anyone who's felt the rush of the game or the guidance of a coach's wisdom.Fast forward to today, and you'll find Matt has channeled his sportsman's spirit into an entrepreneurial leap with Sweet Hands, his sports company that's making waves in the baseball world. We dissect the journey from concept to reality, from stitching together the perfect batting gloves to navigating the pitfalls of business amid a global pandemic. As we wrap things up, Matt shares how SweetHandsSports.com is not just a brand, but a testament to the drive that was reignited on the diamond. For all you sports enthusiasts and dreamers, this catch-up session is a testament to the power of our roots and the communities that support us.Sweet Hands Gloves: https://www.sweethands.comStupid Should Hurt Link to my Merch store the Stupid Should Hurt Line!Reaper Apparel Reaper Apparel Co was built for those who refuse to die slowly!

Ep.69 Offering After a Loss Services as a Business with Heather Taylor  After the loss of a loved one, a multitude of tasks and responsibilities can weigh heavily on the grieving family, adding to the emotional burden they already bear. Amidst the pain and sorrow, there is the need to clean, make funeral arrangements, and fulfill various necessary obligations and funeral logistics. Without adequate support, this period will be stressful since every detail can contribute to the overwhelming nature of grief. That is where after-loss services come in, offering vital assistance during such trying times. Heather Taylor, who joins us in this episode with her wealth of experience in running a similar business, provides invaluable tips and insights for those passionate about helping hurting families or starting such a business.   Heather Taylor, a Canadian nurse with more than 30 years of experience, including 18 years in Michigan, is a dedicated wife and mother. Her career has included a variety of healthcare settings, such as a high-security prison and a cancer care unit, in addition to her role as one of the first nurses at St. Joseph's Hospice. She has also made significant contributions to the West Lambton Community Health Centre and currently works as a Crisis Mental Health Nurse, closely collaborating with law enforcement agencies. Heather's true passion is providing support to families experiencing grief. A decade ago, she earned a certification in understanding and assisting with grief, loss, and bereavement, which led to her establishment of "After a Loss," a business that offers essential support and kindness during individuals' most challenging moments of loss.   Tune in!     Notable Quotes  Education is never a miss. If you are going to do hospice, then credibility through learning is advisable. Part of grieving is spending time with the family of a departed soul, helping where we can, and sharing stories of the person who dies. When offering after-loss services to someone, trust is a huge thing at the time of grieving. People get vulnerable because this is one of their worst times. Some people do not know whether we are grieving or not. If we can wear a symbol to show that, it can be of great help. Such could be a grieving pin.

Oaklyn Springs Brewery head brewer Daniel Barker with Heather Taylor and Amber Keister by Peak City Podcast

Heather Taylor, writer, and director of TV and films, opens up about her personal experiences with ADHD in the corporate world. She shares how she struggled to fit in and perform while masking her symptoms, leading to exhaustion and burnout."I felt like no one listened to what I was actually saying. And in some cases, kind of reminiscent of the story of like having an indoor picnic and thinking everyone did. I also just thought the experiences in my head and the way that I viewed the world were exactly the same as everybody else. And the problem was, is that I lived and worked in a corporate environment. And so just people didn't get my creative brain and just trying to make it through the day." - Heather TaylorHeather talks about the stigma attached to ADHD and her hesitancy to seek diagnosis, but also the relief she felt when she finally understood her brain and got the support she needed. The episode emphasizes the importance of recognizing and accommodating neurodiversity in the workplace and society. Heather discusses how women with ADHD often go undiagnosed, leading to feelings of shame and inadequacy, and how workplaces can be more accommodating to neurodivergent individuals. Ultimately, the episode serves as a reminder to embrace and celebrate neurodiversity, creating a more inclusive and supportive world for everyone.Heather Taylor is a Canadian/UK citizen and US Green Card holder who writes and directs TV and films about complicated family relationships, often with a supernatural/horror/sci-fi lens.

There has been increasing attention to the issue of food insecurity among college students. Estimates vary, but to provide some perspective, one report found that a staggering 30% of all college students experienced food insecurity at some point in their college careers. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the US temporarily extended the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits to college-aged students. But now this pandemic help is set to expire, impacting more than three million college students who have relied on this program for food. Today we speak with Heather Taylor, a former US delegate to the United Nations, and now managing director of Bread for the World. Having experienced severe food insecurity as an undergraduate student at Georgetown University, she now advocates for SNAP expansion for college students and other marginalized groups facing food insecurity. Interview Summary   This is a really interesting topic and an important one because so many people are affected. I know recently there have been more surveys, more awareness to the issue and so finally people are beginning to pay attention. I know judging from the response at our own university, that universities are paying attention to this too. But let's talk about the bigger picture of this: how the benefits at the national level are important. Tell me a little bit more about your work with Bread for the World.   Bread for the World is a faith-based organization that works alongside community groups and congregations across the country to urge primarily members of Congress to pass legislation that addresses hunger and poverty, both here in the United States and abroad as well. We spend a lot of our time equipping community groups so that they are empowered to speak with their members of Congress and talk about issues that are impacting them on the ground.   I mentioned in my introduction that you experienced food insecurity yourself as a college student. How has that impacted your work today?   It really underscores the conviction and the passion that I have around food insecurity, including the way in which it impacts college students. It's such a critical time in one's life, if one is blessed to have the opportunity to attend college, to shape their future, their career path. It's essential that students are nourished and that they have the time necessary to invest in their studies, in some cases extracurricular activities, to perform well and to be able to compete in the market, to contribute to society as a whole. I have experienced firsthand how difficult it can be, what a struggle it is to worry about working on top of investing some 60 to 80 hours a week in one's studies and classes alone, to worry about where one's next meal is coming from. It's really put me in a position to hopefully speak effectively firsthand about what one's experience may be. But also, about what some of the practical solutions are to address food insecurity that individuals, and in this case college students themselves may be experiencing today.   That this problem occurs among college students might come as a surprise to some people because they think kids go to college, they pay for tuition and they pay for room and board and they get fed meals in their dorms and things like that. How does food insecurity come about?   So a lot of times the financial aid, be it student loans or other grants, goes toward college tuition, but not necessarily meal programs. Students are given options to choose meal programs. Some may be three to five meals per week. That was typically the program that I selected, not necessarily 14 to 21 square meals which is what is necessary to ensure that students are not food insecure. That is because these individuals simply may not be able to afford these meal programs. Secondly, while they may not be able to afford them, they could under certain laws be eligible to receive SNAP benefits, but oftentimes students aren't even aware that they may be eligible. While they may have access to certain programs, like federal work study programs that are advertised when students are filling out FAFSA forms, for example, information around the SNAP program may not be as readily available. Because again, any support that they may receive through loans or grants is typically going toward tuition, perhaps books and other necessities, then food security is still an issue that is at stake.   Very helpful background. I know in addition to that, there are large numbers of individuals who don't live on campus, like those who are attending community colleges or graduate and professional students who may not be living in dormitories and don't have meal plans and things like that. It's easy to see how so many people might be affected by this. Let's talk about the SNAP changes at the onset of the pandemic. What can you tell us about that?   Sure. As a result of the expansions that were made available at the onset of the pandemic, students eligible for SNAP benefits could receive up to an additional $95 a month. This is a decent amount that can help put a dent in someone's monthly food bill on a regular basis. The second important change that was made as a result of the expansion is that students who were eligible for SNAP, because they were eligible for the federal work study program did not necessarily have to participate in the work study program in order to get the SNAP benefit. Again, this is important because before the pandemic, students who participated in work study if they were attending school more than halftime they had to work at least 20 hours a week. We know through various studies that typically students are investing three hours in study time for every credit hour that they are signed up for in a given semester. Many students are enrolled for 12 credit hours. That means that they are studying approximately 36 hours on top of their 12 hours of classes. And so we see how they're already investing a significant amount of time and then required to work an additional 20 hours. And so when we're looking at students who are spending some 50, 60 hours and in my case personally, because I had to register for 15 credit hours, up to 80 hours a week. It creates a highly stressed environment for students to work in. At the same time, they're expected to compete, they're expected to make good grades, they're expected to be on par with their peers who may have other support systems in place. The pandemic benefit expansion allowed students to participate regardless of whether they tacked on an additional 20 hours to their already 40 to 60 hour work week was an essential benefit. This is one that we at Bread would like to see continue.   You mentioned some of the hurdles for college students who could potentially utilize SNAP benefits, the work study requirement is one. Are there others the college students have to face?   The work study is one of the essential requirements that they have to face. There are some exceptions. For example, if a student has a differing ability or another term might be a disability. There are some exceptions, but they're so specialized that we want to make sure that students who may be on their own, may be low income themselves, not receiving any support from their families are able to still access the benefit without having to partake in this requirement.   - What's known at the moment about food insecurity among college students?   There are studies that were actually taken right before the pandemic. One in particular done by Temple University showed that nearly 167,000 surveyed, 40% of these individuals experienced food insecurity. And we also know that of these fewer than one in five were accessing SNAP. Again, it speaks to the lack of awareness and how severely underutilized the program is.   You've painted a really striking picture of the number of people affected and how seriously it can affect their lives. You mentioned several really important things. One is just the stress of not knowing whether you'll have enough food or having to have so many requirements imposed on you, work requirements, study requirements, getting food requirements can really add an awful lot of extra pressure to what's a pretty pressured time of life anyway for people. And then adding to that, what you mentioned at the outset that an under-nourished person can't learn and function as well as somebody who's well-nourished is really is very serious issue. What do you think might be done?   The hope is that some of the expansion that was put in place, specifically in correlation to the pandemic, that this would continue, that students would still have the opportunity, those who are eligible, to receive up to $95 a month. When we think about inflation and when we think about how high food prices are, we know how necessary this is. While the benefit may suddenly expire in a couple of months, inflation will not necessarily disappear. Food insecurity that was already high before the pandemic will still continue to persist. We know that some 40% of individuals who attend college come from low income families. So the need is still there. What we would like to see is that the availability of this amount of up to $95 a month would continue. We would also like to see the hourly work requirement be dropped. Those who are eligible for federal work study should not be mandated to work an additional 20 hours a week when they're already investing 40 to 60 hours a week in a given week in their studies. And so we want to ensure that they can invest their time, their energy in their studies, in their schoolwork, what they are there to do, and that they have the energy, that they have access nutrition to be able to perform well.   Those things sure make sense. Let me ask you one final question. You mentioned that only a fraction of the students who are eligible for SNAP are actually enrolled in the program. Are there efforts underway that you're aware of to just get that number higher so that students are made aware they're eligible and they have some coaching or assistance on how to sign up?   To my knowledge, there are no efforts and there's no requirement in the law to make students aware. So this is one of the changes that we are advocating for, that schools would be required by the law to ensure that all students are made aware of the program, what the eligibility requirements or criteria may be so they can access it because it is available to them.   That sounds like something where the colleges themselves could be a big help. They provide lots of guidance to students on all kinds of things. And boy, this could be one thing where colleges could really take the lead in letting the students know about these benefits and providing some help to get people signed up. I'm not aware of any places doing that, although they might very well exist. But if they are out there, it would be good to create a model that could be replicated in other places.   Exactly. As I understand, there are a number of student groups now that may help to make students aware of food donation programs, of food banks. I was informed recently that some schools allow students to donate some of their meals that they already purchased through the school program to their peers. While these programs are helpful it means that students, their food security is contingent on the generosity of their peers, that their access to nutrition is contingent on food that is made available through the food bank system. We know in recent years because of the pandemic, also because of inflation that it has been difficult for food banks to keep stocked up and to also have the number of volunteers that are necessary to distribute. Again, we support these programs, they are important, but alone they do not have the ability to really put dent in hunger like a federally supported program does. We know that the SNAP program is the most effective anti-hunger program in America. It is our moral responsibility to ensure that our young people as they are eligible, have access to this program as well. It's important to know that students who are food insecure are 43% less likely to graduate than their food secure peers and 61% less likely to get an advanced degree. When we think about helping to ensure students ability to succeed personally, but also their ability to contribute to our society and economy, it makes strategic and moral sense to ensure that they are food secure.   Bio   Heather Taylor oversees Bread's public policy and program divisions and operations as Managing Director.
