Sharing my story and journey can make a positive impact. Let's break the stigma together.”Many years ago, Lindsay Mary and her sister, Margaret Galvin, decided they wanted to share their family story in the hopes it would reduce or eliminate the stigma associated with schizophrenia and mental illness for other families. They also wanted to give hope to those who have been traumatized by these brain disorders. After selecting Bob Kolker to be the journalist to bring their story to life, they never imagined their story would become a New York Times bestseller. This profile has resulted in significant interest to transition their story into a documentary and mini-series which they hope will accelerate and deepen the conversation around mental illness enabling thousands more to benefit from our pain and experience coping with this reality.We ask: your journey, especially your life now as an adult siblingWhat part does anosognosia play in your family story with SMI?The documentary based on the book - what would you change?Your work as an advocate and speakerwhat you would say/advice to adult siblings of those with SMINOTE: Episode with Bob Kolker is #25Episode with our daughters: #19Links:https://lindsaymarygalvinrauch.com/Book:https://a.co/d/9nokCMLMindy and her book: https://mindygreiling.com/Randye and her book: https://www.randyekaye.com/Miriam and her book: https://www.miriam-feldman.com/High Vibes And A Mic | Motherhood, Family, International Culture, Wellness, SpiritualityLooking for a relatable and fun moms podcast?

If you want to know how to best support your college student through potential mental health or anxiety issues, who better to ask than a psychiatrist? That's exactly what Vicki and Elizabeth did in this episode. We were joined by Dr. Bianca Busch, founder of The College Psychiatrist, a medical practice that works with college students and their families. Dr. Busch emphasized that each individual is on a unique journey at a potentially stressful time in their life. We learned so much from Dr. Busch about helping students overcome challenges, navigating school and career stressors, relationship issues and identity exploration. Some students may never need counseling or mental health services, others come to college knowing they want to connect with someone for support, and others may be taken by surprise when they find they now need support. Parents will find this episode helpful no matter what lies ahead. This conversation will help you be prepared to give appropriate parental support and also guide your student who may want to seek professional help.

The disciples, return to fishing but catch nothing until Jesus instructs them to cast their nets on the right side of the boat.Spiritual Nourishment and Growth:Just as Jesus provided physical food, He provides spiritual nourishment through His Word.Believers need to actively engage with the Word of God to grow spiritually, akin to digging for gold or learning to eat properly.Peter's Reinstatement and Mandate (John 21:15-19):Jesus asks Peter three times if he loves Him, paralleling Peter's three denials.Each time Peter affirms his love, Jesus commands him to "Feed my lambs," "Tend my sheep," and "Feed my sheep," indicating pastoral care and spiritual leadership.Focus on Personal Calling (John 21:20-25):Peter's concern about John's fate prompts Jesus to emphasize focusing on one's own calling: "Follow me."Comparing oneself to others can lead to distraction and dissatisfaction; believers should focus on their unique journey with God.Key Lessons:Avoid Comparisons: Each believer's journey and trials are unique. Focus on your relationship with God rather than comparing yourself to others.Feed on the Word: Engage deeply with Scripture to grow spiritually and be equipped to serve and teach others.Final Reflections:Spiritual growth requires consistent engagement with the Word of God and applying it in life.Satisfaction and blessing come from focusing on Jesus and fulfilling His calling for us, not from comparing ourselveHigh Vibes And A Mic | Motherhood, Family, International Culture, Wellness, SpiritualityLooking for a relatable and fun moms podcast?

John presents the resurrection story in a manner akin to a lawyer laying out his case before a jury, providing substantial evidence for this pivotal event in Christian faith.Key Points:Introduction:Identifying John 20 as a comprehensive passage that presents the evidence for the resurrection.The Empty Tomb (John 20:1-10):Mary Magdalene's Encounter (John 20:11-18):Jesus Appears to the Disciples (John 20:19-23):Takeaways:Belief in the Resurrection: The resurrection is not a fable but supported by substantial evidence, including the empty tomb, eyewitness accounts, and the transformed lives of the disciples.Faith and Doubt: Like Thomas, believers may experience doubt, but Jesus meets us where we are, providing peace and evidence to strengthen our faith.Great Commission: Just as the disciples were sent to share the message of forgiveness and salvation, believers today are empowered by the Holy Spirit to continue this mission.Eternal Life: Belief in the resurrected Christ offers eternal life, peace, joy, and a divine mission, extending beyond the grave.Conclusion:The resurrection of Jesus Christ is foundational to Christian faith, offering hope, assurance, and a transformed understanding of life and death. John's Gospel invites us to make a personal confession of faith in Jesus as "My Lord and my God," embracing the peace and eternal life He offers.Closing Thoughts:Reflect on the evidence presented in John 20 and its implications for your faith.Consider how the resurrection transforms your understanding of life, death, and your mission as a believer.Embrace the peace, joy, and eternal life offered through belief in the resurrected Christ.High Vibes And A Mic | Motherhood, Family, International Culture, Wellness, SpiritualityLooking for a relatable and fun moms podcast?

The New Testament writers emphasized Jesus' death extensively, covering the last week and especially the crucifixion in great detail across the four Gospels, indicating its significance from both human and divine perspectives. This episode will explore John 19:17-42, examining the details of Jesus' death and the meaning behind these events.Key Aspects of Jesus' Death:The Title on the Cross (John 19:17-22):Jesus carried His cross to Golgotha, "the Place of the Skull," and was crucified with two others.Pilate placed a sign above Jesus stating "JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS," written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin.The Jewish leaders objected, wanting it to read "He said, 'I am the King of the Jews,'" but Pilate refused to change it.This title, while possibly sarcastic, affirmed Jesus' true identity as the Messiah.Jesus' Garments Divided (John 19:23-24):Soldiers divided Jesus' clothes, casting lots for His seamless tunic, fulfilling Psalm 22:18.This act fulfilled prophecy, indicating that Jesus was the foretold Messiah.Jesus Cares for His Mother (John 19:25-27):Jesus, while on the cross, entrusted His mother Mary to the disciple John, establishing a new familial relationship among His followers.This gesture demonstrated the new family of believers, bonded through Christ's sacrifice.Jesus' Thirst and Declaration (John 19:28-30):Jesus, aware that all things were accomplished, said, "I thirst," fulfilling Psalm 69:21.He was given sour wine, and then declared, "It is finished," signifying the completion of His sacrificial work for humanity's sins.Jesus voluntarily gave up His spirit, showing His death was a deliberate, redemptive act.Jesus' Side Pierced (John 19:31-37):To ensure Jesus' body was not left on the cross during the Sabbath, soldiers broke the legs of the other crucified men but found Jesus already dead.A soldier pierced His side, releasing blood and water, confirming His death and fulfilling prophecies (Psalm 34:20, Zechariah 12:10).These actions affirmed Jesus as the Messiah and the truth of John's testimony.Jesus' Burial (John 19:38-42):High Vibes And A Mic | Motherhood, Family, International Culture, Wellness, SpiritualityLooking for a relatable and fun moms podcast?

In this final episode, Jenni talks to Sarah Black, global communications consultant, about the factors to consider when communicating within an international culture. Sarah talks about the challenges of working across different cultures, miscommunication when it comes to corporate values, and leadership expectations. As well as how small things can cause discontent, a lack of connection, and why people might even come across as rude when that's completely unintended. They share tips and tools to help unpack where you are and where you come from, and really delve into how to think around the environment you are in. Global teams can be tricky to engage with so working with Sarah to help people think differently about building strong teams around the world is brilliant when you're looking at intentionally changing culture. In her latest blog, Sarah shares her tips which include the need to get curious and how to be time zone sensitive. Sarah's blog - Redefining Communication Thank you for listening!

International Culture Fest is still looking for participants to share their food and traditions with Saint Johners this August. Guest host Vanessa Vander Valk speaks with Tania Valbuena and Noha Rabie. They both took part in last year's event and are helping out again this year.

The Soldier-Writer, the Expatriate, and Cold War Modernism in Taiwan: Freedom in the Trenches (Lexington Books, 2022) argues that what appeared to be a “genesis” of new literature engendered by the modernist movement in postwar Taiwan was made possible only through the “splendid isolation” within the Cold War world order sustaining the bubble in which “Free China” lived on borrowed time. The book explores the trenches of freedom in whose confines the soldier-poets' were surrealistically acquiesced to roam free under the aegis of “pure literature” and the buffer zone created by the US presence in Taiwan—and the modernists' expatriate writing from America—that aided their moderated deviance from the official line. It critically examines the anti-establishment character and gesture in the movement phase in terms of its entanglements with the state apparatus and the US-aided literary establishment. Taiwan's modernists counterbalance their retrospectively perceived excess and nuanced forms of exit with a series of spiritual as well as actual returns, upon which earlier traditionalist undercurrents would surface.

The Soldier-Writer, the Expatriate, and Cold War Modernism in Taiwan: Freedom in the Trenches (Lexington Books, 2022) argues that what appeared to be a “genesis” of new literature engendered by the modernist movement in postwar Taiwan was made possible only through the “splendid isolation” within the Cold War world order sustaining the bubble in which “Free China” lived on borrowed time. The book explores the trenches of freedom in whose confines the soldier-poets' were surrealistically acquiesced to roam free under the aegis of “pure literature” and the buffer zone created by the US presence in Taiwan—and the modernists' expatriate writing from America—that aided their moderated deviance from the official line. It critically examines the anti-establishment character and gesture in the movement phase in terms of its entanglements with the state apparatus and the US-aided literary establishment. Taiwan's modernists counterbalance their retrospectively perceived excess and nuanced forms of exit with a series of spiritual as well as actual returns, upon which earlier traditionalist undercurrents would surface.

(Aug. 2, 2022) — An exciting new educational and cultural exchange company is coming to Lansing, Michigan, thanks in part to the Lansing Economic Area Partnership's (LEAP) foreign direct investment (FDI) soft landing program. Representatives from A Plus International Culture Communication, Inc., were joined by LEAP, local elected officials, and education partners in Lansing today to announce the launch of its U.S.-based cultural exchange operations.

Although industries and supply chains are increasingly global, the cultural norms that prevail in each region vary. As we begin to work within those regions, it often becomes apparent that there are cultural differences at the country and even city or regional level. Each person has to be aware of their own cultural background as well as how those tendences align with the people they work with. Jacinta Taliauli is a Senior Procurement Advisor at the Ministry for Pacific Peoples. Her parents moved from Tonga, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean with a population of around 100,000 people, to New Zealand before she was born. Although they moved so she they could raise her in a country with more opportunities, they still raised her in “the Tongan way,” a set of cultural values that combine flawless politeness, deference to authority, and a commitment to hard work. In this episode of Dial P for Procurement, Jacinta tells special guest Kim Winter and co-hosts Kelly Barner and Scott Luton about: • The importance of culture, understanding what we share and the nuances of difference between and within each geographical region • How public procurement differs from private sector or commercial procurement • Ways to attract talented young professionals to the field of procurement, and the benefits to be realized by having a culturally diverse workforce Additional Links & Resources: Learn more about Dial P for Procurement: https://supplychainnow.com/program/dial-p-for-procurement/ Subscribe to Supply Chain Now and all other Supply Chain Now programs: https://supplychainnow.com/subscribe This episode was hosted by Scott Luton and Kelly Barner.

When you are treating somebody as a senior in their own home, it becomes a family affair requiring trust, support, and transparency. Transitioning into the unknown can create negative health outcomes. Leaving home can also take away purpose which is proven to create decline.

Even though North American Films & Hollywood have produced tons & tons of classics over the years, I must point out that International Films are great! Netflix has a great variety of Films that are available & they are highly recommended. There is a real authenticity & honesty that comes through the screen from Places like Korea, Japan & Argentina, etc! The current Films being shown from North America are often mediocre in comparison to the International Films. The one thing however in terms of the International Culture is that there has to be a limit in terms of the bowing taking place in Asian Films! Way too much bowing. Ha!

(ep 3) How Can I Transform My Life by Experiencing Other Cultures? With Asanyah Davidson- Part 2In this episode of Collective Drift we sat down with Asanyah Davidson, child of the world, Fashion Designer, and educator. Asanyah is Jamaican born, American raised, and has lived in West Africa. She is the founding director at the Miami Fashion Institute at Miami Dade College, she has her own fashion line Circa24. We had a really fun conversation on a wide range of topics from being Jamaican, being vegan, living in West Africa, the influence of her European fashion teacher, mentoring and more.During part two of our interview with Asanyah Davidson the conversation goes a little deeper. Asanyah talks about how having a diverse group of mentors helped her development. Then she discusses the people; cultures; schools such as Design and Architecture Senior High (DASH) in Miami , the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) in NYC, and studying at Polimoda in Florence, Italy; and living in different countries influenced her as a fashion designer. Asanyah goes in depth about her time in Nigeria and Ghana. Her time there gave her a greater appreciation and understanding of textiles and the work behind them. This period in her life greatly influenced her career as a fashion designer. She will teach us about shibori, Adire, Ashoke, and Kente textiles. Asanyah learned about the significance of these fabrics and in this conversation you will learn the difference between what is and what isn’t real African fabric. Through this we delve into her viewpoint on cultural appropriation. How people think Ankara fabric is African fabric but it actually Dutch. Asanyah wants you to know what you are actually wearing so that you can truly appreciate it rather than appropriate it. All of these topics reflect how the importance of leaving your home country to understand the world better. If you disagree with Asanyah she says you can feel free to contact her. Asanyah talks about the similarities she noticed of African women and Jamaican women. She reminisces about the forever young spirit of African people, about partying with people of all ages and drinking champagne on the dance floor. We talk about her travels to South Africa and the importance of living in the moment. This was an important lesson from her travel. We then of course talk about Asanyah’s two favorite city’s Accra, Ghana and Siem Riep, Cambodia. She adores both of the cities because of how easy it is to get around. She tells us about a great Mexican restaurant in Siem Riep, yes, you heard me right - a Mexican restaurant. Getting a traditional bamboo tattoo while in Cambodia. And she talks about nightlife in Accra, which lead us to talking about how she went to the Guinness Beer factory in Ireland and beer culture around the world. Of course we circle back to Asanyah’s favorite places in Miami, Broward County AKA Greater Fort Lauderdale, and even West Florida. We finalize the conversation with Asanyah’s question for all women - “How are you dealing with life?” and her powerful definition of what a woman is.Collective Drift: Instagram: @CollectiveDrift Facebook.com/CollectiveDrift Find this episode on the CollectiveDrift.com/podcast-blog to get the links to all of Asanyah's favorite places.I'm Erica Vernet Knowles, a Miami native, an international traveler, and a culture enthusiast.

For over 600 years Kyogen comedy has been part of the cultural fabric of Japan. It had always been an intrinsic form of entertainment for the common people until the Edo period when samurai lords decided they would make it their own, thus in a sense fossilizing its ad lib brilliance in favour of a more scripted and sanitized art. Always kept in the rather rarified domain of special families of performers its popularity has waned and many modern Japanese have never experienced its unique dynamism, its sophisticated yet hilarious word play and its multitextured stories. Tadashi Ogasawara, not from any of these traditional families, was suddenly introduced to Kyogen at the age of seventeen and has become a leading innovator and international performer as a result. In this first of a series of interviews we have the chance to hear the disciple of a National living treasure share his initial journey into this truly fascinating world. In months to come he will continue to train artists in France and has recently performed the very first Kyogen in Algeria, ever! A subtitled Youtube version of this interview will be available next year. See his website in English and Japanese here: https://www.atelier-oga.com/
