Episode #: 63 Title: “A Health & Wellness Gift to the Central Kansas Corridor” Launch Date: Friday, December 29, 2023 (Re-Launch in January 2024 / “In case you missed this episode…”) Episode Descriptor: The wisdom of a mother is never to be scorned.  A dreamer.  A community advocate.  An entrepreneur.  Over 50 years ago, this mother poised these questions, “What if the grocery store closed?  How would you eat?”  Unimaginable, yet prophetic, Addie Williams Pearson had a keen awareness of what would be possible in our day.  Her daughter, Donna Pearson McClish, generously shares her family legacy story of the family farm that carries the mantle of making a significant impact on the development of urban agriculture across the nation while impacting the current food system in a positive manner and providing fresh produce to food deserts and food insecurity areas.   In Donna's words, “When people don't have access to healthy food, they do not have a quality of life.”  HopeNet knows if the body isn't well mental health is impacted and compromised unfavorably.  Common Ground Producers and Growers is on mission to make sure entire communities have access and opportunity to be well.

Why is it that you never see your favorite superheroes checking in to the doctor's office? Is it that we portray the image that in order to be a "hero" to someone that you have to be almost invincible to pain or suffering? Depression and other mental health struggles do not discriminate. An important part of any kind of human service or ministry is to be mentally and spiritually well. Too often, in our flesh, we try to mask the perceived weaknesses associated with depression, anxiety, and emotional suffering that it eventually leads to burnout or a host of other problems. This week, we're saying, "NO MORE!" "#166: Healers Need Healing: Let’s Talk About Burdens" appeared on HopeNet 360.

As business leaders and entrepreneurs (parents, teens, young adults), you know that success requires the resilience to keep moving ahead even when confronted with obstacles and roadblocks.
