When Kyndal Parks' grandfather died on Black Friday - the day after Thanksgiving – she lost one of her biggest supporters and confidants. While navigating her grief, Kyndal was also navigating life as a college student where she often felt unseen in her grief by faculty and the wider institution. What began as a class assignment turned into a powerful audio piece about loss, legacy, and the urgent need for grief-informed spaces on college campuses, particularly at HBCUs where collective trauma, silence, and resilience intertwine. In this conversation, Kyndal shares about her grandfather's extraordinary life - from his childhood in the 1940s, to living with a disability, to his time as a Black Panther, a gardener, a traveler, and the steady source of love that shaped her into the person she is today. She talks about the traditions they built together, how her grief shows up even from 2,000 miles away, and why vulnerability and community care are essential if we want to build environments where students who are grieving feel supported. Kyndal also explores the cultural and historical patterns of grief in Black communities, the pressure to "push through," and her vision for a world where grief is met with connection, not silence. We discuss: What made Kyndal's grandfather such an influential figure How his death reshaped her understanding of family, holidays, and identity What grief looked like at her college, and within her family and community Why she created her audio piece and what she hopes listeners take from it The need for vulnerability, community support, and grief-informed care at HBCUs and beyond How her grandfather continues to guide her today Check out News Ambassadors, the program that helped connect us with Kyndal and her audio piece.
A conversation on a recent hike surprised me in the best way. My friend and I wandered into a chat about how we grew up and what shaped us, and it pulled up old memories I had not thought about in a long time. I shared a bit about my upbringing and the sense of community that came with it, but what really landed for me was how many different ways people mark the big moments in their lives. It does not matter if it comes from a formal tradition or something more personal. We all have these turning points that nudge us forward and help us understand who we are right now. Lately I have been noticing how many shifts in my own life feel like they are asking me to pause and pay attention. Some changes are easy to name and others are messy or in progress, and I am realizing that the in-between space is where a lot of the real movement happens. It is not always comfortable, but it is honest. So for this Wise Walk, I thought we could take a moment to look at whatever passages we are each moving through and give ourselves a little grace as we find our footing. Where are you in this present moment, and can you sense whether it marks a rite of passage in your life? What shift, milestone, or change feels most present for you right now, even if it is still taking shape? How is your career, environment, or relationships inviting you into a new phase of growth? Is there something you are preparing to welcome or create, whether a relationship, a move, a new project, or a dream you are finally giving energy to? What passages in your life feel ready to be acknowledged, honored, or named out loud? When you think about separation, what are you slowly releasing or loosening your grip on? Where are you standing in a liminal space, not quite who you were and not yet who you are becoming? How does uncertainty show up for you in this season, and what helps you stay grounded as you move through it? What inner resources or strengths are helping you navigate this in-between phase? Where can you feel the beginning of reintegration, that subtle shift that tells you something within is changing? How might you celebrate or honor the moment you recognize yourself emerging on the other side of this threshold? What does stepping into your next version of self look or feel like in your body, your heart, or your daily rhythm? Thank you for spending this time with me. I hope today's conversation helps you notice the passages unfolding in your own life and gives you a little more appreciation for where you are right now. Until next Thursday's Wise Walk, remember to read the signs, trust your path, and get your stride on. In this episode: [05:08] The term rite of passage comes from French anthropologist Arnold van Gennep, who coined it in 1909 and described three phases: separation, liminal, and reintegration. [07:39] In the different ceremonies there's a separation of who we were, then a transformation of stepping into a new identity, and it's about incorporating yourself as a new emerging entity. [08:16] Not all of the rites of passage that I've experienced are religious. My current situation and moving is a massive rite of passage. I've separated from my home, and I'm in a liminal phase of uncertainty. [09:04] I'm moving to a phase of re-emerging into something different. [10:13] Retirement is a rite of passage as well as changing careers. [11:37] Going back to school or going through a phase of education and knowledge are all rites and passage. [12:50] I've moved many times, and it's a literal rite of passage. It has emotional, mental and spiritual passages that we have to overcome to get where we want to go. [13:12] Divorce is another rite of passage. [14:23] I like the idea of honoring all rites of passage whether it's transitional or an expansion of heavy stuff. [15:04] I'm also going through a professional rite of passage with all of the new certifications I'm getting like shamanic Reiki and healing and energy work and drum making. [16:07] I'm going to embrace and celebrate this liminal phase, because there is beauty in being in the corridor of not knowing exactly. Memorable Quotes: "Some moments in life tap you on the shoulder and remind you that you're changing, even if you didn't mean to." - Mary Tess "Every rite of passage has a little uncertainty in it, and that's what makes the celebration on the other side so meaningful." - Mary Tess "When you pause long enough to notice a transition, you give yourself a chance to honor who you're becoming." - Mary Tess Links and Resources: Mary Tess Rooney Email Heart Value Facebook | LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram
In this episode, dietitian and author Maya Feller explores how culturally inclusive and anti-bias nutrition can transform patient care. She shares how her personal journey and early clinical experiences shaped her approach to honoring food traditions while supporting health.Maya breaks down why standard diet advice often clashes with cultural foods, how structural inequities, not individual choices, drive chronic conditions, and what it looks like to center patients' lived experiences in nutrition guidance. She also offers practical ways to keep cultural dishes flavorful and authentic while making mindful adjustments when needed.“Let the patient tell us about their lived experience. We know the science, but we want to listen to their lived experience, and that is what we're there to do, and then marry the two together.” Question of the Day:What is your favorite traditional cuisine from your culture?On This Episode You Will Learn:How Maya's personal journey shaped her culturally inclusive nutrition approach.Why mainstream diet advice often conflicts with traditional foods.How structural inequities influence chronic conditions and access to healthy options.Practical strategies to preserve cultural flavors while making mindful nutrition tweaks.Ways healthcare providers can integrate cultural relevance without reinforcing stereotypes.Connect with Yumlish!Yumlish Website: YumlishYumlish on Instagram: @yumlish_Yumlish on Facebook: YumlishYumlish on Twitter: @yumlish_Connect with Maya Feller!Website URL: www.mayafellernutrition.com Instagram URL: https://www.instagram.com/mayafellerrd Facebook URL: https://www.facebook.com/MayaFellerNutrition/ LinkedIn URL: https://www.linkedin.com/in/maya-feller-ms-rd-cdn-7a98a340/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy_DdOEnyk_qWEv6zOsVtTA Masterclasses: https://mayafellernutrition.com/on-demand-masterclasses/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/MayaFellerNutrition/ Book: https://mayafellernutrition.com/eatingfromourroots/ Newsletter signup: https://mayafellernutrition.com/newsletter/

Unlock the secrets of military medicine and simulation technology with insights from two leading experts, retired Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Jason Robbins and Lou Oberndorf, CEO of Operative Experience Incorporated. Discover how these trailblazers have navigated the evolution of medical simulation, turning traditional training on its head and preparing medics for the chaotic and high-pressure environments they may face. Their stories reveal the critical role that high-fidelity simulators play in equipping healthcare professionals with the skills needed to manage physiological disparities, chaos control, and patient responsibility. In a riveting conversation about the advancement of simulation technology, Jason and Lou explore the transition from traditional mentorship to cutting-edge, AI-driven simulators. By weaving personal experiences with industry shifts, they illuminate how medical education has undergone a dramatic transformation over the past 30 years. Their discourse reveals the monumental challenges and triumphs of integrating simulation technologies into both military and civilian healthcare settings, with a focus on the unique demands of combat medicine and on how AI is poised to further revolutionize this field. Jason and Lou discuss the pressing need for anatomically accurate simulators, particularly for female soldiers. They provide an eye-opening look at how these innovations are dismantling social and psychological barriers and are vital for training efficacy. They candidly discuss the psychological toll of combat on healthcare providers and the irreplaceable value of real-life experience, underscoring that while simulation is a bridge for skill development, it cannot fully substitute the lessons learned from treating real patients. Join us in this compelling episode to understand how simulation is not just a tool but a pivotal element in preparing medics for the unforgiving realities of the battlefield.

(49:20) Preparing Military Medics With Simulation Medical simulators prepare healthcare professionals for combat trauma, but cannot replace real-life experience. Take Home Messages: The Role of Medical Simulation in Military Medicine: The episode highlights the transformative impact of medical simulation technology on military medicine, emphasizing its role in preparing medics for high-stress and austere environments. It underscores how advancements in simulation, particularly with the integration of artificial intelligence, have enhanced the realism and effectiveness of medical training. Evolution from Defense to Healthcare: The conversation traces the journey of medical simulation technology from its origins in defense innovation during the early '90s to its widespread adoption in both military and civilian healthcare settings. This transition has replaced traditional mentorship models with high-fidelity simulators, revolutionizing medical education and training. Advancements in Anatomically Accurate Simulators: A significant development discussed is the creation of anatomically accurate female simulators, which address social and psychological barriers in medical training. These innovations ensure that medics are better prepared for real-world scenarios, particularly in treating female soldiers, thereby improving training efficacy. Continuous Training and Readiness: The importance of continuous training to maintain readiness is emphasized, especially in the context of military medicine where skill erosion can occur between conflicts. Simulation technology provides a safe environment for medics to practice and refine their skills, ensuring they are prepared for future challenges. Ethical Considerations in Simulation Technology: The episode also touches on the ethical and moral considerations in developing realistic simulation technologies. While simulators are essential for skill development, they cannot fully replicate the emotional and psychological challenges of real-life trauma, highlighting the need for a balanced approach in training methodologies.

Welcome back to another episode of Grit Meets Growth. Today's a special one. We're pulling back the curtain on the brotherhood inside Built for More and inviting you into the room with us. Five months into this journey—and with most of the guys having just wrapped up a round of 75 Hard—we thought it was the perfect time to bring everyone together, share what this experience has looked like, and talk honestly about the growth, the challenges, and the wins. This one's going to be real, it's going to be raw, and it's definitely going to be fun. Let's jump in, meet the crew, and get this conversation rolling. Five Takeaways from this Episode:Brotherhood changes everything.When men get in a room together, drop the armor, and get real, transformation accelerates. You don't need everyone's backstory to build a brotherhood—you just need honesty, presence, and the willingness to show up for each other.Vulnerability isn't weakness—it's the doorway to strength.Every guy talked about leaving the macho at the door. That's where breakthroughs happened. Once the mask comes off, you finally get access to the conversations that actually move your life forward.Discipline creates momentum.75 Hard wasn't about workouts or water—it was about mental toughness. Honoring your promises to yourself, showing up when you don't feel like it, stacking small wins… that's what rebuilt confidence and shaped identity for the guys in this group.Personal growth spills into everything else.When a man gets his personal life aligned—mindset, habits, discipline—his work life, leadership, relationships, and energy all change. Every guy on the call saw the ripple effect.Iron sharpens iron.Being surrounded by high-character, high-effort men pulls you up. The group became a place to get challenged, encouraged, recalibrated, and reminded that there's more in the tank. Growth isn't a solo sport—and these men proved it. ONE TRUTH:A man becomes who he's meant to be when he stops trying to do life alone.

This week on the Special Chronicles Podcast, we honor Judy Heumann—the “Mother of the Disability Rights Movement”—with a stirring lecture originally aired on Disability Beat Radio at WEFT 90.1 FM. Her words ignited a global movement for inclusion, dignity, and justice. Tune in to hear the voice that sparked a revolution and continues to inspire generations.
Welcome back to episode 9 of the Summer Shorts series. This week we take a deep dive with our four Pro Trainers into the topic of Honoring or Backing. Whether for safety, etiquette, or more birds in the bag, honoring is one of most important skills we can teach our dogs. Nobody wants to hunt with the guy whose dogs blow up everyone else's points! As we dive into the four different methods, you will find a baseline of similarity in the desired outcome, with unique approaches on how to train honoring. Some use launchers, others throw birds. Some use ecollar, others prefer no pressure in this training skill. Whatever your cup of tea may be, take a listen and I promise you will be able to take something if not many things away from each pro's method of teaching a dog to honor or back!!

Today, on what is a day of Thanksgiving here in the United States, we want to take a few minutes to honor three extraordinary men—Dr. John McDougall, Dr. Baxter Montgomery, and John Robbins—who we've recently lost. These weren't just leaders in the whole food, plant-based movement—they were trailblazers, mentors, and fearless advocates for health and hope.Dr. McDougall taught us that food is medicine and that living your principles matters more than pleasing critics. Dr. Montgomery showed us the power of compassion in medicine and the importance of giving everyone access to real, whole-food nutrition. And John Robbins…he opened hearts and minds, inspiring millions to think deeply about how our choices on the plate affect the world.So today, as we continue their work, let's remember: living plant strong is about courage, consistency, and compassion -and- it's about taking their message and carrying it forward in our own lives and communities.They didn't just teach us about health—they gave us hope. For that, we're thankful.Watch the short tribute on YouTubeLearn More About our 2026 Live PLANTSTRONG Events: https://plantstrong.com/pages/events Let Us Help Your PLANTSTRONG JourneyTake the Free 7-Day Challenge: https://liveplantstrong.com/free-7-day-challenge/ Learn More About Our Corporate Wellness Program: https://liveplantstrong.com/corporate-wellness/ COMPLEMENT: Use code PLANTSTRONG for 30% off at https://lovecomplement.com/pages/plantstrong-special-offer Follow PLANTSTRONG and Rip Esselstynhttps://plantstrongfoods.com/ https://www.facebook.com/GoPlantstrong https://www.instagram.com/goplantstrong/https://www.instagram.com/ripesselstyn/ Follow the PLANTSTRONG Podcast and Give the Show a 5-star RatingApple PodcastsSpotify

This week on Elevate Eldercare is an encore episode with former U.S. Surgeon General and current AgingIN Board Member, Joycelyn Elders, MD. In honor of the Thanksgiving holiday, we thought this very special discussion, in which AgingIN's Susan Ryan and the late Alex Spanko (who served as director of communications from 2021 to 2024) engage Dr. Elders in a discussion about her trailblazing life and career. An added motivation for the replay of this episode is that the New York Academy of Medicine recently presented Dr. Elders with the Alma Dea Morani Renaissance Woman Award. With humor and refreshing honesty, Dr. Elders shares her perspectives on racism, sexism, and all the other "isms" that continue to shape the way health care is provided in the United States. As an elder herself, she also provides insights into what she might want out of the U.S. eldercare landscape and how supports and services might fit into her still-busy life as a widely sought-after and admired public health expert. Dr. Elders is renowned for breaking barriers and sparking essential conversations throughout her remarkable career. Appointed in 1993 as the 15th Surgeon General of the United States, the first African American and only the second woman to hold that office, Dr. Elders brought unprecedented visibility to issues ranging from adolescent health and reproductive rights to substance use prevention and health education. TIME magazine named her "1994 Woman of the Year" and "One of the 100 Most Influential Women of the 20th Century."
On this special Thanksgiving episode of MAD RUSH, we are honoring the life and legacy of Jack O'Kelley. It has now been two years since Jack died from fentanyl poisoning after taking what he believed was a simple Xanax. In today's replay, Trisha revisits her powerful conversation with Angela King, Jack's mother, who has turned unimaginable grief into a mission that saves lives. Angela speaks openly about the night everything changed, the hidden dangers of fake pills, and why fentanyl is no longer a “back-alley” drug—it's in every community, on campuses, at concerts, and in the hands of kids who don't realize the risk. Her message is clear: one pill can change everything, and education is our strongest defense. If you're spending today with loved ones, this episode is a reminder of how important these conversations are—and how much good can come from one family's courage to speak out.

When the holidays arrive after child loss, the question that rises in your heart isn't "How do I get through Thanksgiving?" It's "How do I carry my child with me into a day they should still be part of?" Thanksgiving changes after loss. Not because you're doing anything wrong — but because love changed you. And when love changes you, traditions change too. You don't have to pretend you're okay. You don't have to do things the way you always have. And you certainly don't have to hide your child's name to make others comfortable. When the holidays arrive after child loss, it can feel like everything familiar suddenly carries a different weight. You might find yourself longing for the traditions you once shared… yet unsure what to do with them now. Nothing feels the same — but it doesn't all have to feel heavy. This episode is a soft place to land during Thanksgiving week. We're talking about how to bring your child's love into the traditions you choose to keep . In this episode, you'll learn… why honoring your child begins with giving yourself permission how simple, meaningful gestures carry more love than big traditions how to create space for love—not sadness—to lead your holiday what it looks like to enter Thanksgiving with peace instead of fear If your heart is aching for a way to include your child this Thanksgiving, this episode will help you breathe again. You're not alone. Jesus is with you in every step, and your child's love is still part of your story. __________________________________________ Grief Mentor Services ✨ Holiday Flash Offer — Peace for the Holidays This season carries so much weight, and I want to make sure you have the support you need.

Every week on the Flavor of Italy Podcast, we explore the food, wine, history, landscapes, and everyday stories that shape life in Italy. But every now and then, a moment calls for reflection — and today is one of those days. Because today, Tuesday, November 25, is the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. It's a global day of awareness and remembrance, but here in Italy it carries deep cultural, social, and historical significance. And yet this week is also Thanksgiving week — a time of cooking, gathering, connection, and gratitude, especially for my listeners in the United States. So today's post brings both worlds together: reflection and celebration, activism and nourishment, Italy and the Thanksgiving table. AND My Italian Winter Table Recipe E-Book Is Here!

We close out our month-long tribute to the Marine Corps' 250th birthday with a special replay of a 2021 Happy Hour conversation featuring Lieutenant General Richard E. Carey.Across nearly four decades in uniform, General Carey rose from enlisted grunt to three-star general, serving everywhere from the Inchon landings and Chosin Reservoir to the skies over Vietnam. He went on to amass more than 9,000 hours in every fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft the Marine Corps flew. Yet what stands out most is his quiet warmth and the timeless wisdom he shared—like sitting down with a beloved grandfather who's seen it all.General Carey passed away in early 2025 and now rests in the very cemetery he once helped establish. Rest in peace, General Carey. And Semper Fi, Marines.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donations

Send us a Positive Review!If Episode 384 (the one right before this one!) addresses the larger psychological question of why the holidays & family events can be extra challenging and painful for those on the LDS faith expansion journey--then this episode answers the equally relevant follow up question: What can I actually do to maximize my potential to feel present and grounded at these holiday events? In today's episode, Val focuses in on two prevalent kinds of LDS family systems that she has heard about over and over again in her work in LDS faith crisis/expansion: the authoritarian structure and her newly coined term, the 'adherent/apologetic' family structure. If either of these family structures ring a bell then her "four critical safety pillars"— might help you navigate these challenging family gatherings with grace for your own nervous system and grace for your doing-their best loved ones. Whether you're dealing with strict authoritarian dynamics or the anxiety-laden avoidance of adherent-apologetic families, Valerie's thoughtful strategies and encouragement will empower you to stay true to yourself while maintaining meaningful connections.

We begin in 1969 at the family farm in New Hampshire. Ram Dass talks about how most of our efforts to help other people are simply high drama. He tells a story about wanting to speak with his mother about dying when she was going through that process, but she had to be the one to open the door to the conversation.The next stop is the 1970s at the Abode of the Message in New Lebanon, New York. Ram Dass explores how part of the spiritual journey is about honoring incarnation and honoring our parents. He shares stories about spending time with his father, and how moments of intimacy between them were born of Ram Dass not trying to be someone special anymore. We move on to a 1985 Seva benefit in San Rafael, California. Ram Dass discusses moving back home at 50 to care for his aging father. He then tells the story of being called home from a meditation retreat to help his sick stepmother, and a moment of anger he felt towards his guru about what was happening.Up next is a trip to the 1990s at the Conscious Aging Retreat in Clearwater, Florida. Ram Dass responds to a question about helping a child awaken. He talks about how you have to become somebody before you become nobody, and recalls a memory where he and his mother overcame their roles of parent and child for a brief moment.Finally, we end with a conversation between Ram Dass and John Welshons on Maui in 2011. Ram Dass tells the story of a meditation retreat that turned into a therapy group, which triggered a memory from when he was a young child and his mother was holding him down during a temper tantrum. Ram Dass tries to reconcile this memory with the moment when his guru told him his mother is a very high soul.

And one of the aspects of your incarnation is that you are your father's son.' And even though, on some level, that seems kind of funny, it happens to be part of what it's about. Just like I have to honor the fact that I am an American. I have to pay my taxes. I have to do a lot of stuff. And this is one of the things, I must honor it. And then I have to figure out—what does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor it? What does it mean to honor parents?” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
