GO & BE part 3: How Can I Help? Parker Loghry, Creative & Teaching Minister (Team Lead)

In our concluding sermon of the "How Can I Help?" series, we explore the profound message of serving those in need within our communities, as guided by Matthew 25:31-36. This thought-provoking message challenges us to discern our role in helping others, emphasizing that while Jesus is the ultimate savior, our role is to serve. Delve into the insights on how to manage the tension between providing support and trying to solve others' problems, and discover practical ways to extend care without overstepping our human limitations. Join us in embracing a bias towards hope and optimism as we strive to embody Christ's call to serve with compassion and humanity. Don't miss this inspiring conclusion and learn how your service is akin to caring for Jesus himself.

You can't miss this episode with Doug Tallamy! Doug is a conservation visionary, renowned entomologist, ecologist, professor, and New York Times bestselling author. As the co-founder of the Homegrown National Park initiative, Doug shares his visionary approach to transforming our lawns and backyards into thriving ecosystems that support biodiversity and combat biodiversity loss. You will be super pumped after this episode to transform your yard! ​ What You Will Learn: The Lawn Epidemic: Doug discusses the staggering statistic that over 40 million acres of the U.S. are covered in lawns—an area larger than New England. He emphasizes the potential impact if homeowners reduced their lawn space by half, potentially restoring 20 million acres to native habitats, surpassing the combined area of all major national parks.​ Genesis of a Movement: Delving into his background, Doug recounts the pivotal moment that ignited his passion for conservation. Moving to a property overrun with invasive species, he observed a stark absence of native insects and wildlife, leading him to investigate the profound effects of non-native plants on local ecosystems.​ The Insect-Plant Connection: Highlighting the specialized relationships between native plants and insects, Doug explains how many insects have co-evolved with specific plants. The decline of these native plants directly threatens insect populations, which in turn affects the broader food web, including bird species and you.​ Empowering Homeowners: Doug introduces you to the Homegrown National Park initiative, a grassroots call-to-action encouraging you to transform your outdoor spaces. By planting native species and reducing lawn areas, you can play a crucial role in restoring ecological balance.​ Success Stories and Practical Tips So You can Get Started: Sharing inspiring anecdotes, Doug illustrates how simple changes in landscaping practices have led to the return of diverse wildlife, from caterpillars to birds. He offers practical advice on selecting native plants and creating environments that support local fauna.​ Relevant Links: Homegrown National Park Initiative: Learn more about how you can contribute to this nationwide movement by visiting Homegrown National Park.​ Doug Tallamy's Books: Bringing Nature Home: Discover the essential role of native plants in our landscapes.

For our second anniversary, we're looking back at one of our first episodes! ORIGINAL DESCRIPTION: It's not hard to find gruesome, macabre images or videos – they're on TV, in horror movies and online. But what if you wanted to see them in person? Through a series of donations and transactions, the body of a 98-year-old World War II veteran from Louisiana ended up on a table in an Oregon hotel ballroom where attendees paid as much as $500 to view a public dissection. Dr. Gail Saltz, associate professor of psychiatry at the New York Presbyterian Hospital Weill-Cornell School of Medicine and host of the “How Can I Help?" podcast, explains what drives people to seek out such spectacles and what that fascination with death can tell us about ourselves and our society.

Feeling tense about the current political climate and upcoming election? You're not alone. In this timely episode, psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz shares strategies to help you regulate your mental health amidst the divisive rhetoric and constant media coverage. Dr. Saltz explains: The toll that disturbing news visuals and messaging can take on mental wellbeing How to set healthy boundaries around media consumption to reduce anxiety The difference between normal anxiety and an anxiety disorder How anxiety disorders cause your world to shrink and the power of exposure therapy Practical tips to manage election season stress and maintain perspective If you find yourself getting wrapped up in political negativity or catastrophic thinking, tune in to learn how to protect your peace of mind while staying informed. “How Can I Help?” podcast.

And I don't think it matters what side of the political spectrum you're on." - Dr. Gail Saltz "If you're really feeling plagued, try to avoid people who are big catastrophizers because they're going to stay very glued to this stuff. It might not be bringing them pleasure, but they are wrapped in it in a way that they maybe can't see their way out of." - Dr. Gail Saltz "Anxiety disorders, your world gets smaller and smaller. Which is why the treatment has to do with exposure, because the more that you do, the more you desensitize yourself to the thing that you're afraid of and you regrow your world." - Dr. Gail Saltz ABOUT THE BLUEPRINT PODCAST: The BluePrint Podcast is for busy professionals and Household CEOs who care deeply about their families, career, and health.

And then I take all that, and I say, this is something I'm going to use when I'm in a stressed out situation." - Dr. Gail Saltz "At the end of the day, it's pretty rare the person who has regrets that are related to 'wish I'd worked harder at work.'

Ep. 122 (Part 2 of 3) | Joseph Goldstein, co-founder of the Insight Meditation Society in Barre, MA, brilliant spiritual teacher, and prolific author, whose books have been foundational to many people's understanding of Buddhism, mindfulness, and insight meditation, shares rich nuggets of wisdom stemming from a lifetime of ever-deepening practice. The focus of this conversation remains very much in the present, as Joseph describes how the leading edge of his practice never stops moving forward and how his understanding of the most basic ideas becomes ever more refined and liberating. In sharing his insights, he sheds light on and smooths the path for the rest of us: about the mysterious arising of compassion, made easier the more open we are and the less self-referential, about reframing our experience in a way that frees us, about spontaneous responsiveness, and about awakening being a gradual process—until it's sudden.Joseph's new favorite definition of enlightenment is “lightening up” for the way it conveys a sense of making progress along a journey. And with his humor, humility, and easy, lighthearted manner, Joseph exemplifies and transmits a lighter way of being in the world. He makes it ever so clear that spiritual practice and meditation, examining and investigating our experience moment to moment, naturally leads us to compassionate responsiveness and out of the shackles of what binds us to a self that is ultimately just a construct. Recorded November 2, 2023.“The forward edge has more to do with the attitude of exploration rather than any particular thing.“(For Apple Podcast users, click here to view the complete show notes on the episode page.)Topics & Time Stamps – Part 2The mysterious arising of compassion and what does this say about the nature of reality?

In this classic talk from 1987, Ram Dass explores working with suffering, keeping our hearts open, finding the intuitive heart space, and being responsive rather than reactive.

If we're caught in our separateness, it's hard to keep our hearts open.Ram Dass shares classic stories of how other beings, including a dolphin, have helped him escape the trap of his own mind and find the intuitive heart space. He talks about taking care of his aging father and learning how to just be present with him.Finally, Ram Dass explores the difference between being reactive and being responsive, reading a story from ‘How Can I Help?' to illustrate his point. He talks about how, when we are quiet enough on the inside, we can begin to hear how to awaken through the journey of the spirit.“As you quiet your mind just a little bit, you get so that you're not automatically reacting to everything. You become what's called responsive rather than reactive. In other words, something happens and there's a moment when it's just happening, you're just with it. As your awareness expands to include more than your separate self, it's as if you're part of the gestalt of it all, and you experience the totality of it. And then, out of that quietness comes an act that is appropriate to that moment.” – Ram DassSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever felt inadequate when trying to express your care and concern to someone who is grieving? If so, my guest Sherrie Dunlevy is going to help us understand how we can genuinely help the brokenhearted. She'll shed some light on what to say and what not to say as well as what to do and what not to do. Plus along the way, Sherrie gives us additional insight that is going to help if you're facing a season of loss and uncertainty yourself. Something I always like to point out is that grief is not limited to loosing a loved one. Anything that leaves us brokenhearted which equates to anytime we're separated from that which we hold near and dear to our hearts. It's times like that when everything familiar shifts and the pain demands a grieving process. When part of our life is torn away, we're in need of an honest evaluation of how this tragedy impacts our life and what resources do we need to engage, in order to move toward full healing. Sherrie has a background in television as a news anchor, a radio talk show host, and she is currently a podcast host as well as a grief coach. And we can add author to her list of accomplishments because she's published a book titled, Can I Help? Sherrie wrote this book because she has a deep compassion for those who are in a season of grief. As a grief coach her focus is to help the grieving process their pain. Based on the knowledge and insight that Sherrie has gained as a grief coach we push out the topic of grief to talk about how we can avoid adding extra stress and demands on our loved ones who are struggling with deep pain and even deeper questions. When someone is faced with the uncertainty of life, the struggle to understand their circumstance is fertile ground for isolation, confusion and to be honest, awkwardness. It's the awkwardness that causes us to distance ourself from our loved one or to say things that are blanket statements. Blanket statements are the type of cliche comments that when said everyone knows it's just a substitute for, I don't know what to say. Sherrie's book, Can I Help?, will give you the confidence to feel more at ease with the topic of grief and as you implement and practice Sherrie's advice you become more comfortable to share space someone who is grappling with the reality of their old life vs the life they are now forced to know. There's power in having confidence for this topic because it removes barriers and lets an aching heart know that they are seen, heard and cared about. When you're in pain, knowing that you're not alone is powerful enough to give people hope for a better tomorrow. The bottom line is, neither the brokenhearted nor the people who desperately want to help will have all the answers. Every situation is unique to the person who has experienced a tragedy/trauma. And the truth is, the brokenhearted can't articulate what they need in the moment. In addition, the one who desires to be there for their loved one, feels helpless. If they both know anything, it's that neither one can reach the pain because neither one can change the devastating reality of loss. Sherrie makes a clear distinction, which I felt was truly foundational to having the courage to reach out to someone who needs a kind word and that is, to remember it's not about you. Sherrie and I partnered that portion of the conversation with another key truth that she pointed out: The person who wants to help can't fix it and it's not their job to fix it. To me, that takes a huge weight off and it allows the caregiver (not in a medical sense but rather in the context of relationship) to simply show up, sit quietly if necessary and allow their loved one to find their way through the grief. If you've ever felt helpless, confused, or awkward when it comes to navigating grief then listen in to see how you can remove typical barriers and create a connection of support that brings peace and invites healing.

Hello to you listening in Fredricton, New Brunswick, Canada!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.Question: Are origin and brand stories one and the same? Not at all. While origin stories and brand stories share similarities, they serve distinct purposes in the realm of storytelling and branding.Origin Story: An origin story typically focuses on how your work began, your journey, and the foundational moments that define professional or organizational identity.  You've heard me talk about the "archeological dig" to get to your origin story. It's your Who. It precedes your Why. Origin stories often highlight the challenges you've overcome, your values, and the mission or purpose that drives your work. This is the most consequential story you'll ever create because it tells how you got from there to here, bringing your particular vision into existence.Brand Story: On the other hand, a brand story encompasses a broader narrative that builds on the foundational origin story. Its role is to show the ongoing evolution, present-day identity, and how the values, mission, and personality of the brand are incorporated in the process. It's your Why. This overall narrative shapes how the brand is perceived and how it connects with your audience.Question: Now that you know the difference between the stories that are key to building your identity and connecting with your audience, what motivates you to create and tell them? What's your project? How can I help?You're always invited: “Come for the stories - stay for the magic!” Speaking of magic, would you subscribe, share a 5-star rating + nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, and join us next time!Meanwhile, stop by my Quarter Moon Story Arts website to:✓ Check out What I Offer,✓ Arrange your free Story Start-up Session,✓ Opt In to my monthly NewsAudioLetter for bonus gift, valuable tips & techniques to enhance your story work, and✓ Stay current with Diane on LinkedIn.Stories From Women Who Walk Production TeamPodcaster: Diane F Wyzga & Quarter Moon Story ArtsMusic: Mer's Waltz from Crossing the Waters by Steve Schuch & Night Heron MusicAll content and image © 2019 to Present Quarter Moon Story Arts.

You are going to love this episode. Today we are going to dive into a teenager's emotional life. I think what makes parenting teens so challenging is dealing with their intense emotions. Sometimes you're the target of their emotional storms and sometimes they turn their emotions inward. You worry about them being depressed or anxious. How many times have we brought up a simple request to our teen, but it turns out to be not so simple because it triggers a huge emotional response? Moms can find themselves avoiding talking about important topics because they don't know how to handle their emotions. I invited Dr. Lisa Damour, the author of The Emotional Lives of Teenagers, to talk about this nuanced subject of teenage emotions. In this episode we focus on her chapter called Managing Emotions, Part One: Helping Teens Express Their Emotions and the following chapter called Managing Emotions, Part Two: Helping Teens Regain Emotional Control Recognized as a thought leader by the American Psychological Association, Lisa Damour, Ph.D., co-hosts the Ask Lisa podcast, writes about adolescents for the The New York Times, appears as a regular contributor to CBS News, works in collaboration with UNICEF, and maintains a clinical practice. She is the author of three New York Times bestsellers, The Emotional Lives of Teenagers: Raising Connected, Capable, and Compassionate Adolescents, Untangled: Guiding Teenage Girls Through the Seven Transitions into Adulthood and Under Pressure: Confronting the Epidemic of Stress and Anxiety in Girls. She and her husband have two daughters and live in Shaker Heights, Ohio.
