How Sonya went from needing help out of her chair in the morning to leading up to 8 Zumba classes a week! Good morning, everyone. Tirzah Hawkins here for Natural Health Warriors. And I'm here with Sonya today. She's got a really incredible story to share with you, but she's also got some nervous excitement going on because you are waiting for the baby call. My daughter is passed due, and so she was due on the 13th. And we went in yesterday and she's making progress. She's two, she was two centimeters yesterday, and she woke up a little crampy today. So we're, we're hoping that things keep progressing. For those of you that are watching this in the future, it's the 17th I believe this morning. And so she was due on the 13th so any time now. Very exciting. And how many, um, is this your second grand baby though? This will be my third. Your third? Yeah. So I have a little boy already and a little girl that is six months old and now I'll have this one. So awesome. Yeah, that's exciting. Congrats Does that age. Me? No, you're still young and beautiful. All right, so Sonya, you have gone through so much in your life. Can you give us a little overview of your back story and kind of things that have contributed to where you've been physically and emotionally with your health? Yeah, that's a, it's a hard journey. Um, I start tearing up every time I think about it, but we have tisues. I'm like here: the whole box. Yes. You might want to pause, like go get your own tissue. So I had a, my mom, my biological mom left me when I was five with, um, my stepdad. And my Stepdad, um, had some difficulties of his own. Emotional challenges from being a war veteran and, and um, was abusive ,and I was taken out of his home and put into a series of foster care situations that were unhealthy. And, um, and so that kind of started my journey of not feeling good enough for anybody. And my mom left me. Why did she left me? Leave me. Was I not good enough? Wasn't pretty enough, was I not, you know? What's happening? And you know, my dad's abuse definitely triggered a huge amount of stuff. Um, foster parents that I didn't feel like cared about me. Um, so I started a lifestyle of being on the run from judicial systems, um, living on the streets, bouncing house to house. And I think that that really spurred the, um, the unhealthy. You know, I didn't learn good health choices early on in my life. I was, you can't living on the streets, it's impossible to do. I'm sleeping on park benches and also going through a really horrible situation, um, of rape and getting pregnant and um, meeting somebody in the process of that. See, look, I'm already tearing up. That basically told me that he wanted to be with me, but I had to give my daughter up in order to do that and I didn't do that. And then that relationship became very abusive. And, um, when I was pregnant with her, I had gestational diabetes, so I was 98 pounds when I got pregnant. And I wound up being close to 200 pounds by the time I delivered. Get your life back.

A Tale of Two Hygienists is launching a series on how professionals and patients integrate dental treatment with other forms of medical care. For this week, Andrew and Michelle have invited a guest who specializes in oral health care for the senior population.   Sonya Dunbar has been a dental hygienist for over 30 years. Known as “the Geriatric Toothfairy,” she is the founder and CEO of Mobile Dental Xpress, which brings oral health care to elderly patients housed in long-term care facilities. Sonya is a national speaker on the importance of oral care for elderly patients, trains nursing home staff, and also provides seniors with “S.O.S. packs” that contain 3-6 months of oral health care products.   In this episode, Sonya discusses the reasons why younger hygienists are hesitant to work with seniors, explains why they should move past these apprehensions, and makes a case for why you should sponsor one of her S.O.S. Packs.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS:   Interview starts: 10:16 - Sonya explains why working with seniors has been a lifelong passion for her.   - Why so many younger hygienists and dental professionals are averse to treating the elderly.   - What services does Mobile Dental Xpress provide its patients and how do they charge for them?   - How Sonya trains her team, holds them accountable, and meets any challenges that come their way.   - Some of the more frequent ailments amongst the senior population.   - Why professionals in private practices should make a point of scheduling geriatric patients for either the first or last session of the day.   - The reason Sonya and her team typically don’t treat patients in short-term care.   - What can be found in Sonya’s S.O.S. packages and how you can sponsor one.   - How to tell if an elderly patient at your private practice is no longer able to take care of their oral health as well as they used to.     QUOTES:   “If you put me between a rock and a hard place, the hard place is gonna lose because I’m coming out fighting!”   “I’m on your team and we’re here to save these residents, and this is what we’re gonna do.”   “We need to bring awareness to our seniors and long-term care facilities because it’s like they’re a forgotten population and it’s making my heart break.”   “The mouth is the window of your health.”   “It’s not easy; it has to be something you want to do.” LINKS:   The Geriatric Toothfairy - https://www.geriatrictoothfairy.org/   S.O.S.

"I had an inner certainty that I was on the right path in my life—the path God had chosen for me. Great things were going to happen in my life, and I had to do my part by preparing myself and being ready." ~Ben Carson What if we just assumed that God has a specific path for us? What if we knew that "great things were going to happen in our lives"? Would we see our lives differently? Would we see ourselves differently? By the time Ben Carson was in his early 20's, there was no question in his mind that God had big plans for him and that it was his job to put in the work and prepare himself thoroughly. How as this made possible? Because of his mother! Ben could never have become the man he became or had the influence in the world he now has without the determination, vision, encouragement and hard work of his mother.  This family is an incredible model for us to follow through all the 7 Laws of Life Mission -- as they devoted their lives to God, cared for themselves, embraced truth and educated themselves out of poverty and into the highest offices in the country! Listener's Guide: Use the time stamps below to skip to any part of the podcast.  2:27  Sonya Carson's early years 9:37  How Sonya handled opposition 14:00  How Sonya became self-reliant 20:02  How Sonya parented her boys and helped them get world-class educations 26:25  Carsons and the 7 Laws  29:18  Ben's spiritually transforming experiences   Quotes from this episode (all quotes from Ben Carson): “Part of mother's strength came from a deep-seated faith in God and perhaps just as much from her innate ability to inspire Curtis and me to know she meant every word she said.” “Mother never let on how it hurt her, but her treatment in a mental hospital provided neighbors with a hot topic of gossip, perhaps even more because she had gone through a divorce. Both problems created serious stigmas at the time. Mother not only had to cope with providing a home and making a living to support us, but most of her friends disappeared when she needed them most…'I just decided that I had to go about my own business,' Mother once told me, ‘and ignore what people said.' She did, but it couldn't have been easy.” “Of course, mother worked. Constantly. She seldom had much free time, but she showered that time on Curtis and me, which made up for the hours she was away…No matter how tired she was, if we were still up when she got home, mother didn't fail to ask about school.” “‘That's what I want to do,' I said to my mother as we walked home. ‘I want to be a doctor. Can I be a doctor, mother? ‘Bennie,' she said, ‘listen to me.' We stopped walking and mother stared into my eyes. Then laying her hands on my thin shoulders, she said, ‘If you ask the Lord for something and believe He will do it, then it'll happen.' ‘I believe I can be a doctor.' “Then, Bennie, you will be a doctor,' she said matter-of=factly, and we started to walk on again.” “Mother had a goal in mind…she planned to go back and reclaim the house we'd lived in…'Boys,' she told us as the weeks and months passed, ‘just wait. We're going back to outhouse on Deacon Street. We may not be able to afford living in it now, but we'll make it. In the meantime, we can still use the rent we get from it.' Not a day passed that mother didn't talk about going home. Determination burned in her eyes, and I never doubted that we would.” “My mother worked two and three jobs at a time…She was especially interested in the people, because most of the time she worked for the wealthy. She'd come home and tell us, ‘This is what wealthy people do. This is how successful people behave. Here's how they think.' She constantly drilled this kind of information into my brother and me. ‘Now you boys can do it too,' she'd say with a smile adding, and you can do it better!'” “'I've decided you boys are watching too much television,' she said one evening, snapping off the set in the middle of a program…From now on,

Your Creative Sparks: We can ENVISION with more CLARITY when we QUEST into the unknown. One thing that NATURE TEACHES us is how to be in FLOW, able to respond JOYFULLY to life’s UNPREDICTABILITY. Not only can you alleviate physical problems by immersing yourself Nature, but you can tap into ANCIENT WISDOM, where REAL HEALING can occur. Immerse yourself in the ancient realm of the Pisgah National Forest with Lobsterbird and Sonya Louise. Explore vision quest, earth medicine, forest bathing and more as these two shapeshifters wander together under craggy rock overhangs, among the stone people, squirrels, and fern angels, skittering over fluorescent mosses and through the faerylands. BEing in Nature bridges the practical physical aspects of ourSelves with the deeper, older elemental Spirits within. Leave us a Rating & Review! Your Travelogue “Divine disorder” gave Sonya the permission to follow the call in her heart, removing her from struggle and striving and all the things she thought she HAD to do… All the things that kept her from doing what she felt she really wanted to be doing, which was to be in the earth. She finally said Yes to that call, threw a few things in her car, and started GOing, pursuing her own unique personal pilgrimage. [3:36] How Sonya’s story became a book, in response to the hundreds of other women who express an inner longing for a solo travel adventure of their own. [8:38] Sonya discovered that her “wandering in the wilderness” was actually a Vision Quest. “My travel wasn’t just about being on vacation and disappearing. I was questing.” Normal every day life, our habits and patterns can obscure real *vision* from us. We can envision with more clarity when we quest into the unknown. [14:20] The scope of Sonya’s work has become much more profound that simple survival tips. “I realized early on in my journey that Nature was communicating with me and teaching me things.” She now passes that teaching on to others, showing women more than just logistically and physically how to be “out there” in a way that is smart and safe, but how to connect on a deep spiritual level and tap into the myriad of energies present and available there. [18:41] “I think of myself as a docent,” says Sonya. “When you go to a museum, the docent helps you understand the exhibit on a deeper level… I suggest ways that you can interact with this exhibit to help open yourself to new perspective and possibilities.” [26:00] From a purely physical level, Sonya’s work is akin Shinrin-yoku, which means “forest bathing”. This form of nature therapy originated in Japan and has a wide variety of scientifically proven health benefits. For women being called into the forest, it is likely their bodies are also calling out for healing. [33:53] When you give yourself to things that are not in alignment with who you really are and what you really want, you are literally giving your power away. How can you begin to take your power back? [45:00] Links and resources: Lobsterbird’s new book: Level Up: Power Practices for Spiritual Superabundance by Sophia Remolde Go: Solo Travel for Women by Sonya Louise offers more than just a collection of her travel stories. In it, she offers persuasive evidence that taking a solo travel adventure is not only smart and safe, but can also be the most loving thing you can do for yourself, your relationships and the earth. Includes a detailed roadmap for how any woman can GO on a solo travel adventure of her own. Shinrin-yoku (森林浴) is a term that means “taking in the forest atmosphere” or “forest bathing”. It was developed in Japan during the 1980s and has become a cornerstone of preventive health care and healing in Japanese medicine. Researchers primarily in Japan and South Korea have established a robust body of scientific literature on the health benefits of spending time under the canopy of a living forest.
