Jorge Fernandez, an LCSW and private practice owner, joins me to discuss facing fears and embracing the journey of entrepreneurship in the mental health field. 3 key takeaways: Face Your Fears Head-On: Jorge and I delve into common fears therapists have about liability and financial stability when considering private practice. We emphasize the importance of betting on oneself and not allowing these fears to hold you back from building a fulfilling career. Know Your Business Inside and Out: Whether it's understanding the nitty-gritty of billing or the broader aspects of business management, knowing every part of your practice is crucial before you can effectively delegate or outsource tasks. Embrace Imperfection: As small business owners, it's easy to get bogged down by the desire for perfection. Jorge highlights the value in focusing on serving clients to the best of our ability and not being paralyzed by the minutiae of every decision. Note from Jorge: My parents both emigrated from Cuba as teenagers to flee from Fidel Castro's rule. My father worked incredibly hard to ensure I had what I needed for my education, while my mother was present for every school event that needed a volunteer. They taught me the value of helping others and showing respect. My career began in the Little Havana section of Miami in the late 1990s providing therapy to children and families in their homes in the exclusively immigrant population. I then moved to New York City, where I provided individual and group therapy to teenagers in two high schools. I later oversaw therapy with both families of teens abusing drugs and alcohol and families accused of abuse or neglect of their children. I also helped bring yoga classes for kids and Spanish-language parenting classes to these communities. I came to Connecticut in 2014 and, before private practice, ran one of only three programs in the state providing therapy inside the home for families of adolescents who were demonstrating inappropriate sexual behaviors. I now run a solo private practice serving all of Connecticut through in-person and telehealth sessions with individuals and families. I also offer clinical supervision and coaching to therapists. I have training from the Ackerman Institute for the Family, the Salvador Minuchin Center for the Family, the Jewish Board of Family & Children's Services' Advanced Training Program, and problem sexual behavior training from MST Associates.

Guest: Prof Karen Milner | National Chairperson @ SAJBD  Prof Karen Milner is the National Chairperson at the South African Jewish Board of Deputies and joins Africa to respond to Minister Ronald Lamola's statements to the BBC saying that there is no antisemitsm in South AfricaSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President Cyril Ramaphosa met the South African Jewish Board of Deputies at his presidential residence, Mahlamba Ndlopfu, in Pretoria on Wednesday to discuss the county's stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The SAJBD made requests relating to diplomatic recognition of Israel and to the boycott of Israeli and Jewish businesses in South Africa. With regard to the first issue, the SAJBD petitioned Ramaphosa to restore full diplomatic recognition of Israel, including the reopening of the South African embassy in Tel Aviv, and to assure that the Israeli embassy in Pretoria will not close to enable the Israeli ambassador's return to South Africa. News24 previously reported that Israel's foreign ministry recalled its South African ambassador after South Africa recalled its diplomatic staff from Israel. At the time, the South African Jewish Board of Deputies reacted with anger at the perceived ill-treatment of the ambassador, saying that the government had shown hostility toward him. With regard to the second issue, the SAJBD called on the president to speak against the boycott of Israeli and Jewish businesses in South Africa and protect the South African Jewish community against antisemitic incidents and attacks. The SAJBD previously said antisemitism in South Africa had "increased nearly tenfold" and was being "fuelled by inflammatory rhetoric by some in political leadership", according to a News24 report. The organisation said there were as many as 80 incidents in six weeks and compared the surge to campaigns by "local Nazi-supporting white groupings" in the 1930s. Commenting on Wednesday's discussion, presidential spokesperson Vincent Magwenya said Ramaphosa reiterated the South African government's position on the situation in the region. He added that South Africa stood with the people of Palestine "who have endured over seven decades of apartheid type of brutal occupation". Magwenya added that the country condemned the October attack by Hamas on Israeli citizens, including women and children, and called for all hostages to be released. South Africa condemned the "genocide that is being inflicted against the people of Palestine" through the bombardment of Gaza and called for the immediate cessation of hostilities, Magwenya said, as well as the resumption of negotiations between Palestinians and Israel. South Africa also called on the International Criminal Court to investigate all the atrocities and war crimes committed in the region. Magwenya said: President Ramaphosa indicated that the South African diplomats based in Tel Aviv will remain in South Africa for consultations during the current state of conflict. However, the government will endeavour to make available all the necessary support that is required by South African citizens in need of assistance. He added that the government denounced antisemitic behaviour and appealed to South Africans to "remain true to the tenets of the country's Constitution". The conflict in the Middle Eastern region intensified after an October attack by Hamas on southern Israel. Israel retaliated with widespread bombing throughout the Gaza strip.

"Bullying and demonisation" is how the South African Jewish Board of Deputies (SAJBD) described Israeli ambassador Eli Belotserkovsky's recall by his government following South Africa's recall of its Israel-based diplomatic staff. SAJBD chairperson Karen Milner chastised the African National Congress (ANC) and the South African government after Israel's foreign ministry called Belotserkovsky back to his native land on Monday for "consultation". The Israeli government's move follows the 6 November announcement by its South African counterpart that the latter's diplomatic staff in Israel would be recalled for "consultation" with Minister in the Presidency, Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, asserting that Belotserkovsky's "position … in South Africa is becoming very untenable". It was Ntshavheni's comments - echoed by International Relations and Cooperation Minister Naledi Pandor's views on the same day that Belotserkovsky was "disrespectful" - that drew the SAJBD's ire, with Milner accusing the South African government of "hostility" towards Belotserkovsky. "This takes place against the background of a sustained campaign of demonisation and bullying of the Israeli ambassador by the ANC ... and the South African government in a way that was unconducive to dialogue and engagement," Milner charged in a statement to News24 on Tuesday. Last week, the ANC and the SAJBD met in what the former called "a frank and robust dialogue" related to the resurgence of the 75-year-old Israel-Palestine conflict, which flared up again after the 7 October attack by military and political organisation Hamas - which controls Gaza, one of three Palestinian territories - on Israel. Following that attack, Israel retaliated by carpet-bombing Gaza, flattening hospitals, schools and refugee camps. Following the ANC meeting with SAJBD, the governing party said, "The engagement with the SAJBD is aligned with the ANC's approach of consulting broadly and advocating for a just, peaceful and humane world." On Tuesday, Milner said it was "a great pity that the situation in South Africa has deteriorated to the degree that Israel decided to recall its ambassador". "We hope and trust that both the Israeli ambassador to South Africa and the South African ambassador to Israel will return to these respective countries [at the] conclusion of these consultations in a way that will contribute to continued dialogue and engagement in the interest of peace." Meanwhile, MPs will this afternoon in the National Assembly vote on the motion that was introduced by Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema to close the Israeli Embassy in South Africa. The motion was debated last week in a mini-plenary and the ANC supported it.

They want to empower women to seek the relief they need and encourage them to talk openly about their menopause experience.Donna shares information about menopause, the health implications including mental and emotional well-being and treatment options available including hormone replacement therapy and skills based therapy like cognitive behavior therapy. We also briefly discussed the details in this NY Times article that I share from about the cost of menopause for women in the workplace. Check out their podcast "Hello Menopause" and their weekly talks featuring in-depth discussions with a wide range of specialists—from gynecologists and urologists to physical therapists and psychiatrists—to help you understand how menopause impacts your body, emotions and lives and to provide you with options for navigating the changes you may experience.Here's the episode with Lori King talking about her experience and support for surgical menopause.Following my conversation with Donna, I share info about Raising Hope's upcoming celebration of hope honoring women in the community, including myself.

In 1946 many Jewish soldiers returned to their homes in England imagining that they had fought and defeated the forces of fascism in Europe. Yet in London they found a revived fascist movement inspired by Sir Oswald Mosley and stirring up agitation against Jews and communists. Many felt that the government, the police and even the Jewish Board of Deputies were ignoring the threat; so they had to take matters into their own hands, by any means necessary. Forty-three Jewish servicemen met together and set up a group that tirelessly organized, infiltrated meetings, and broke up street demonstrations to stop the rebirth of the far right. The group included returned war heroes; women who went undercover; and young Jews, such as hairdresser Vidal Sassoon, seeking adventure. From 1947, the 43 Group grew into a powerful troop that could muster hundreds of fighters turning meetings into mass street brawls at short notice. The history of the 43 Group is not just a gripping story of a forgotten moment in Britain's postwar history; it is also a timely lesson in how to confront fascism, and how to win. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

About the book: Every day we relate stories about our highs and lows, relationships and jobs, heartaches and joys. But do we ever consider the choices we make about how to tell our story? In this groundbreaking book, Kim Schneiderman shows us that by choosing a different version we can redirect our energy and narrative toward our desires and goals. She presents character development workouts and life-affirming, liberating exercises for retelling our stories to find redemptive silver linings and reshape our lives. As both a therapist and a writer, Schneiderman knows the power of story. By employing the storytelling techniques she offers, you’ll learn to view your life as a work in progress and understand big-picture story lines in ways that allow you to easily steer your actions and relationships toward redefined — and realistic — “happy endings.” About the author: Kim Schneiderman, LCSW, MSW, is a psychotherapist, workshop facilitator, former journalist, and spiritual essayist who lives and works in New York City.
