Welcome back to the third and final part of our coverage of the 2026 ACTRIMS Forum. This week's episode bridges the gap between groundbreaking clinical research and the nuanced reality of living with MS every day. First, we'll dive into the "before" and "after" of a diagnosis, starting with Dr. Helen Tremlett's insights into the MS prodrome—those subtle, early signs that appear years before typical MS symptoms. We'll also talk with Dr. Tremlett about how other health conditions can predict long-term outcomes in sometimes surprising ways. Dr. Ilana Katz Sand shares her latest research on the connection between diet, MRI findings, and clinical disability. Dr. Katz Sand also shares her list of foods you want to include and those you need to exclude when you choose the MIND diet. And Dr. Katz Sand explains the complementary roles of lifestyle choices and disease-modifying therapies in creating the most effective MS treatment plan. Finally, we ground these scientific advancements in the lived experience as Kathy Smith joins us to challenge the clinical labels we use to describe MS, questioning whether terms like "relapsing-remitting" or "secondary-progressive" truly capture the day-to-day reality of her two-decade journey with the disease. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??! This Week: The 2026 ACTRIMS Forum (Part 3) :22 Dr. Helen Tremlett discusses the prodromal phase of MS, which comorbidities are predictive of better or worse patient outcomes, and the role of the environment in pediatric MS 1:19 Dr. Ilana Katz Sand shares her latest research on the impact of diet on MS 10:44 As someone who has lived with MS for two decades, Kathy Smith takes on the question of whether the current labels like 'relapsing-remitting' or 'secondary-progressive' actually describe what life is like on a day-to-day basis for someone living with MS 22:35 Share this episode 34:29 Next week's episode 34:49 SHARE THIS EPISODE OF REALTALK MS Just copy this link & paste it into your text or email: https://realtalkms.com/443 ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE CONVERSATION I've always thought about the RealTalk MS podcast as a conversation.

In this onePERspective episode of asPERusual, we pass the mic from long-time patient partner Kathy Smith to new guest host Sasha Kullman — a doctoral trainee exploring how to meaningfully engage children, youth, and families in research. Sasha shares thoughtful, personal reflections on Season 3, Episode 3, which featured Brianna Hunt, Michelle Roy, and Onalee Garcia-Alecio in a powerful conversation about youth and family engagement in the iCARE study.As a researcher stepping into pediatric-focused engagement work for the first time, Sasha brings a fresh and deeply introspective learner's lens to this conversation. She reflects on what it means to create safe, youth-led spaces in research, the importance of honoring lived/living experience, and how small actions — like starting with a genuine smile — can lay the foundation for authentic relationships.This episode invites listeners to rethink traditional research values, reflect on the role of trust and flexibility in engagement, and consider how we might measure research impact not just by outputs, but by the relationships we build and the communities we support. If you're a researcher, student, or someone with lived experience interested in more meaningful engagement — this episode is for you.
Last week, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis convened a meeting in Dublin, Ireland, to dive deeper into what a new framework for describing MS might look like. There's still a tremendous amount of work to be done here. But, considering that whatever language is eventually adopted will affect every person living with MS, I want to keep you fully informed on this important work. So I'm devoting this entire episode of the podcast to sharing conversations I had with three of the attendees at the meeting in Dublin. First, you'll hear from Dr. Bruce Bebo, the National MS Society's Executive Vice President of Research. Then, you'll hear from Dr. Daniel Ontaneda, a neurologist specializing in MS at the Cleveland Clinic, and, finally, you'll hear from Kathy Smith, who's lived with MS for the past 20 years. As you listen to these conversations, I think you'll hear three slightly different perspectives, but you'll also hear some of the broad concepts and ideas around which there was a high level of agreement at our meeting. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??! This Week: A meeting to discuss moving to a biologically based description of MS :22 Dr. Bruce Bebo discusses how a new framework for describing MS could impact MS research and people living with MS 3:45 Dr. Daniel Ontaneda describes some of the shortcomings of the current MS course descriptors and discusses how a new framework for describing MS could impact people living with MS 17:34 Kathy Smith explains how current MS course descriptors fail to fully capture her experience as someone living with MS, and explains how new course descriptors could benefit people living with MS 26:24 What's next in the work to develop new course descriptors for MS 35:20 Share this episode 35:44 Have you downloaded the free RealTalk MS app? 36:03 SHARE THIS EPISODE OF REALTALK MS Just copy this link & paste it into your text or email: https://realtalkms.com/403 ADD YOUR VOICE TO THE CONVERSATION I've always thought about the RealTalk MS podcast as a conversation.

In this feature segment of asPERusual, guest listener and patient partner Kathy Smith offers a short recap and her key takeaways from last week's episode of asPERusual focused on patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network -- a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Tune in to this short (~10 minute) episode, regardless of whether you want to compare reflections or get the Coles notes of the full Can-SOLVE CKD Network episode.Episode Transcript:Anna:Hi everyone! Welcome to onePERspective - a bi-weekly segment in which patient partner Kathy Smith shares a synopsis and key reflections from the previous episode of asPERusual -- a podcast for practical patient engagement. My name is Anna Chudyk and I am asPERusual's host. In today's episode, Kathy will be commenting on S3E2 of asPERusual. In that episode, I sat down with Melanie Talson and Cathy Woods to learn all about patient engagement within the Can-SOLVE CKD Network, which is a Canada-wide network of patients, scientists, and health care professionals devoted to creating innovative kidney care solutions. Alright Kathy, lets turn it over to you and your onePERspective. Kathy Smith:Thank you, Anna and hello, everyone. I am speaking to you from the centre of Canada along the shores of Lake Superior, or Gitchigumi, the largest, deepest, coldest and cleanest freshwater lake in the world. I wish to acknowledge that my City of Thunder Bay is situated on the traditional land of the Anishinaabe peoples, including the Ojibwa of Fort William First Nation, signatories to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850. I thank our ancestral land keepers for centuries of sustainable stewardship of this beautiful area and for kindly sharing the bounties of this rich land with everyone. I also wish to express my appreciation for the significant contribution of the Metis nation. I am sorry for the mistakes made and mistreatment of Indigenous peoples by colonists in the past and I am committed to working together for truth and reconciliation. Miigwetch.If ever there was an award for a solid and sustainable engagement strategy, today's Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) Px engagement platform would certainly be a strong contender. I am most impressed with how they have integrated the Indigenous voice and with their capacity-building training modules, including bi-directional Capacity Bridging.Melanie Talson & Cathy Woods from Can-SOLVE CKD: Canadians Seeking Solutions and Innovations to Overcome Chronic Kidney Disease describe their network as a national partnership of lived experience patients; learned experience researchers; laboured experience health care workers and clinicians; and leaders – the managers and policy makers. The four “Ls” work together to transform treatment and care and improve the outcome for those living with debilitating chronic kidney disease.Can-SOLVE's tagline is “the right treatment for the right person at the right time and place.” No small task when you consider CKD affects a disproportionate number of Indigenous people many of whom live in remote, even fly-in, communities. That is why I am so impressed to see that this group has a strategy for addressing that barrier to care. Can-SOLVE has an Indigenous-led partner group, IPERC -Indigenous Peoples Engagement and Research Council. IPERC's focus is on Indigenous kidney care challenges unique to this harder to reach, often underserved, group. Cathy, of the Bear Clan, is a member of Naicatchewenin First Nation in Northwestern Ontario, is the patient partner and a lead researcher of the Kidney Check Research Project which seeks to screen, triage and treat Indigenous people living in rural and remote communities in the three western provinces and British Columbia. Patient partners within both groups prioritize and co-lead research projects like this one, ensuring meaningful and relevant engagement at every stage. Furthermore, there is a Patient Governance Council – a leadership team made up of representatives of both interest groups who decide on plans and policies that affect the entire CKD community.Our speakers have done a great job describing each of the 6 Rs upon which they built their engagement platform: Respect, Responsibility, Reciprocity, Relevance, Relationships and Realness. Realness is a term I had not heard of in engagement platforms before. But I do understand and appreciate its inclusion. We need to fit our hats to the task as I like to call it. Our real life has given each of us many hats, but which shall we wear to best meet the asks of the task? Patients and providers work best when they find common ground, common interests and common language with lived experience input “as is”. Bring your real, authentic self to the table. Respect for individual differences and perspectives sees real-world impacts.Equally impactful is how patient partners like Cathy describes her involvement in CANSOLVE as healing, empowering, and deeply purposeful – creating a space for ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. As the famous anthropologist, Margaret Mead, phrased it; never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. It's the only thing that ever has.”Finally, I'd like to acknowledge CANSOLVE's Bridging Capacity. Building capacity is an integral component of patient engagement strategies. Training modules are co-designed to buildup the knowledge and provide the necessary tools for patients to engage in a research project. These helps are unidirectional in scope. So how does Bridging Capacity differ from Building Capacity? Bridging Capacity is bi-directional. Patients and providers both learn from each other. I cant think of a better tool for bridging the power differential and creating strong work relationships!All in all, CANSOLVE and IPERC have really empowered patients to enhance research relevance to better the outcome for all with chronic kidney disease.PERsonally SpeakingMy three take-aways:Could this Indigenous Partnership (IPERC) model be used to incorporate the voice of many other underserved populations – the remote; the homeless; the new Canadians? These groups are surely concerned about their health, but they do not want to, or cannot, come to our Table. So, meet them where they are at with separate interest groups run by their own leaders and their own peers. Then the leaders of the various interest groups could come together to form an overarching Senior Team. This makes for a much more inclusive and diverse Patient Engagement Platform!Capacity Bridging This was a term I had not heard of before but I very much like it for the added emphasis it brings to an engagement platform. This bridging is a bi-directional sharing of knowledge between the lived experience experts and the learned experience experts. It stresses the importance of respecting that all members of the team bring unique experiences and skill sets. This concept guides mentorship, training, and peer review practices across the network. Patient partners are highly valued for their different hats they bring to a task on the TEAM: Together Everyone Accomplishes More. Together is better!Relationship Building is at the heart and soul of every Patient Engagement Platform. It takes a patience of time and a whole lot of money. It must be accounted for in research budgets and run by a paid, highly trained and skilled multi-tasker manager. Anything less jeopardizes the success of the engagement platform and perhaps the relevance and value of the research itself.At this time, I would like to thank everyone for the privilege and the opportunity of speaking to you on these podcasts. In particular, I want to do a huge shout out to my heroine, Anna, for including me and asking me to do these podcasts. As Anna is moving forward with the pediatric and youth groups, I want a fresh voice to help her with these podcasts. But in any case, I wish Anna all the best as she goes forward with this labor of love. I can't tell you how much time and effort Anna has shown and the passion that she has dedicated to helping all patients engage meaningfully and relevantly with academic partners in research. Thank you. And happy trails, Anna. Anna:Thanks Kathy for this, and all of the other onePERspective's to date. As you know, your encouraging emails summarizing all you learned from the release of this podcast's initial episodes were the impetus for creating the onePERspective segment. I've really enjoyed hearing your reflections and collaborating with you on the creation of these episodes. Even with all your engagement related jet setting, I could also count on you to come through on your episode… and somehow find the time for it. Big hugs to you and I'm glad we have research we're collaborating on together so it's not actually a good bye. Moving forward this season, I'm going to continue with onePERspective but it's taking a different twist. A big reason why I have chosen to focus the remainder of season 3's episodes on engaging children, youth, and families is for my own learning as I expand my research program to focus on these populations. I am currently moving in this direction through a pharmacogenetics study I am collaborating on with my colleague Abdullah Maruf, as well as work I am doing with colleagues to redesign pediatric-to-adult transition care services for youth and families living with congenital heart disease. Sasha Kullman is a talented PhD trainee working under my supervision on the congenital heart disease project. Given her passion and penchant for patient engagement and knowledge translation, I thought that it would be a great opportunity for her to take over onePERspective this season, and offer a trainee perspective on her take-aways from the episodes. She's very brilliant and I can't wait to hear her episode takeaways as her insights always make me think.In the next full episode of asPERusual, I kick off the rest of this season's focus on how to meaningfully engage children, youth, and families in health research. Guests Brianna Hunt, Onalee Garcia-Alecio, and Michelle Roy, will share their experience with engaging in the iCARE study—Canada's largest cohort of youth with type 2 diabetes. We'll also discuss what makes engagement meaningful over time, the value of lived experience, and practical tips for involving youth and families in ways that are inclusive, trauma-informed, and fun.

In this feature segment of asPERusual, guest listener and patient partner Kathy Smith offers a short recap and her key takeaways from last week's episode of asPERusual focused on Building capacity with the SPOR IMAGINE Network. Tune in to this short (~10 minute) episode, regardless of whether you want to compare reflections or get the Coles notes of the full SPOR IMAGINE Network episode.Episode Transcript:Anna:Hi everyone! Welcome to Season 3's first episode of onePERspective. As a reminder, this is a tri-weekly segment in which patient partner Kathy Smith shares a synopsis and key reflections from the previous week's episode of asPERusual -- a podcast for practical patient engagement. My name is Anna Chudyk and I am asPERusual's host. Before I turn things over to Kathy to provide a recap of Season 3 Episode 1, I want to do a huge shout out to her. Kathy, you faced huge tech related barriers that would have made most other people peace out on making this episode a reality. But you kept trying all week and persevering and here we finally are. Something you kept saying was, I don't want to let you down. But the thing is, I don't think you could ever let me down if you tried. Our long-standing bond grew out of and transcends or working relationship, and that's what patient engagement is all about. So thank you so much, Kathy, for loving this labor of love of a podcast as much as I do. And now let me turn it over to you for your onePERspective.Kathy Smith:Thank you Anna and hello everyone. First off, I would like to gratefully acknowledge the ancestral keepers of the beautiful and bountiful land upon which my city of Thunder Bay was built about a quarter of a century ago. We are at the epicenter of Canada, at the head of the greatest, deepest and cleanest of the Great Lakes, Lake Superior, the mighty Gitche Gumee. This area is the traditional territory and homeland of the Anishinaabe People, which includes the Ojibwa/Chippewa of Fort William First Nation, signatories to the Robinson Superior Treaty of 1850. My father's family migrated from Sweden to Turtle Island (Canada) in the late 1800s. They all settled in Minnesota, but only my grandfather preferred to live and work in Canada as a lumberjack. My mother's family also first migrated to America way back in the early 1700s. A family joke is that they told the Mayflower where to land. They moved first up to New Brunswick, as United Empire Loyalists, with some settling here to work in the forest building and serving the railway. Both families chose to live and thrive here in pristine northwestern Ontario, and they gratefully spoke often of the huge debt we owed to its original land keepers. Whether as a child in the family car on a Sunday drive to nowhere, or as a mom camping everywhere with my own four children, or now just meandering with my hubby along the majestic woodland trails, I am in awe of the breathtaking, balance, and restoring beauty of our natural surroundings. I respect the ancestral stewards for their profound spiritual connection to Mother Earth and all the living things that guided them to practice reverence, humility and reciprocity with her gifts of pure air, clean water, mineral rich soil, and abundant flora and fauna. I am very grateful also for the significant contributions made by the Metis Peoples, both past and present. Miigwech!Thank you to our Building Capacity with SPOR IMAGINE guests Aida Fernandes (executive director), along with Dr. Deborah Marshall and Sandra Zelinsky, co-leads of the Patient Engagement Subcommittee. You all wear different hats with your lived and work experience backgrounds, but you are all laser focused on partnering to better manage inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Your IMAGINE network is shedding some much needed light on these puzzling and troubling chronic disorders. I have seen a close friend's partner struggle and stumble with Crohn's disease, one of the inflammatory bowel diseases. Needing to be hyper vigilant with what he eats and ever mindful of maintaining a work life balance is difficult. And he pretty much had to learn by trial and error. He recently passed away from pancreatic cancer, but I know he would be extremely delighted to see that the Mind And Gut Interactions Cohort (MAGIC) Study focuses on more proactive and preventative strategies than on reactive treatment regimes. WOWZA! Almost 8000 subjects were recruited into the pan-Canadian MAGIC study by the IMAGINE network. Participants were retained in the study in high numbers even though they had to submit quarterly blood, stool, and urine samples. How did IMAGINE accomplish this incredible feat? With the aid of a very strong, very engaged, very well trained and supported patient partner group. 40 patient peer-to-peer mentors conducted face-to-face and/or online virtual contacts with the participants in the study to encourage and support them. The patients engaged as partners in the research had flexibility in how and when they could contribute to the study. The IMAGINE network met patient partners where they were at and what they were comfortable with contributing. Anna compared this to Roger Stoddard's choosing patient engagement tasks from a menu analogy, because appetites are all different when it comes to the amount of engagement one can or will want to do. Patient engagement was kept strong by relying on this flexibility, plus good support, plus capacity building and first and foremost, once again, respectful relationship building. The unique but equally valuable voices and perspectives of the 4 Ls that Linxi Mytkolli told us about in asPERusual's Diabetes Action Canada podcast delivers the lived, the lovers, the learners (so the academic leads) and the laborers (all the clinicians) blended together to make this one strong, patient centric study. Patients and providers also had access to tools necessary to support their preferred level and type of engagement. Anna has posted a really good list of these resources recommended by today's guests. In particular, they highlighted the free online patient and community engagement research (PaCER) program, a one year certificated course from the University of Calgary. It teaches patient research partners how to create, conduct, and even lead a research project. In fact, that's the requirement for the certificate. Another way patient engagement was supported reached beyond taking part in the research study process. IMAGINE empowered patients to share their lived experience stories. Having just completed this task myself, I sure wish I had access to that training with the help from patient mentors like Sandra. Storytelling is harder than it looks. All in all, this is a very strong study with a very strong network of networks and a very strong method of patient engagement. I wish the team much success. Miigwech. PERsonally SpeakingMy three big takeaways will sound pretty familiar. The secret sauce to any successful patient engagement in research platform is to overcommunicate at the start. Make friends. Take all the time at the start to develop the bidirectional relationships needed to build a strong team of friends. Teamwork makes the dream work. Know the end game goal. List the tasks needed to get there, and then collaborate as a team to “match the hat to the task.” Impressed IMAGINE seems to have no power differential barrier at play. Regular feedback and ongoing evaluation can help maintain a productive and respectful partnership. If we focus research funding on lived experience patient priorities like MAGIC's mind-gut biome connection study, it not only enriches the research process, but also ensures that the outcomes are more relevant and beneficial to those who need them the most. Patients are the alpha and the omega of health care. Thank you to SPOR Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research for all your resource allocation for studies that bridge the gap between science and experience. Working together, maybe we will get more proactive strategies to better self-manage many chronic diseases. I'm very optimistic MAGIC will make some magic happen for patients with IBD and IBS.Anna:Thanks so much Kathy for sharing your onePERspective. I think this is my favorite one yet. Something that really also stood out for me about IMAGINE was the pivotal role that patient research partners play in shaping research within the network and throughout the research cycle. The MAGIC study is such an impressive undertaking, having enrolled almost 8000 patients in a Pan-Canadian longitudinal venture. To see meaningful and active engagement interwoven into it is beyond heartening and definitely something we can all stand to learn from.

Yesterday, it was revealed that Gayundah Arboretum Park in Woody Point would be closed, forcing 13 people experiencing homelessness to find new shelter. The homelessness crisis is impacting the most vulnerable people in the community, with domestic violence victims being rehoused in tents. Project Manager at Defenders for Hope, Kathy Smith, told Gary Hardgrave on 4BC Drive that domestic violence victims are among those living in tents in Logan. "We work with the housing, the local council, and YFS...and we supply them with new tents when the storm comes through, we supply them with food every day," Ms Smith said.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Across Queensland, breaches of domestic violence orders have quadrupled in the last decade, and the domestic violence crisis in Logan is reaching a boiling point. Police in Logan are overwhelmed, with more than 100 domestic violence calls going unresponded to just hours before the tragic case of Destiny Otton-Rakuraku, who was allegedly set on fire by her ex-partner. Kathy Smith, Project Manager at Defenders For Hope, a Logan-based charity on the front lines of this crisis, told Gray Hardgrave on 4BC Drive that they have to resort to giving tents to DV victims with the current housing crisis.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Bras Across the Causeway is a charity run organized by Kathy Smith. The event was inspired by a conversation she had with radio host Matt McCoy in 2016 about finding a way to give back to the community and support breast cancer patients. They came up with the idea of a 5k run with a unique twist: stringing bras across the causeway. They started collecting donated bras and have amassed thousands of them, which they string up during the event to raise awareness for their cause.The money raised from the race entry fees goes into an account to support breast cancer patients' needs, such as gas, groceries, housing, clothing, daycare, and even covering copays and special medical tests. The funds are managed by the Providence Foundation, which works closely with patients to understand their unique needs.The race day is a lively and heartwarming event, featuring a survivor tent, a survivor walk, a 5k run, a one-mile run, and various vendors, including Cammie's Old Dutch ice cream and Hall's sausage. The event is a celebration of community support and a testament to the power of people coming together to help those affected by breast cancer. It's grown in popularity over the years and continues to positively impact the local community.Kathy Smith - https://www.facebook.com/kathy.b.smith.39Races MentionedBras Across the Causeway https://www.brasacrossthecauseway.org/Boo Krewe 2 https://runyourstory.com/event/boo-krewe-2-2023/The Hot Trot at LuLu's https://coast360.com/events/lulu%E2%80%99s-hot-trot/Shout OutsMatt McCoy https://www.facebook.com/matt.mccoy3Jim BroganLone Palm Parrot Head Society https://lonepalmfoundation.org/Parrot Heads in Paradise Meeting of the Minds https://phip.com/meeting-of-the-minds/Providence Foundation - https://www.facebook.com/providencehospitalfoundation/Keely WallJosh Foster https://www.facebook.com/joshua.foster.3382Carrie https://www.facebook.com/TheCookeryMobile/Courtney with Sunshine CommunicationsPanini Pete Foundation https://www.prfoundation.net/Pete Blohme https://www.facebook.com/chefpaninipeteJody Blohme https://www.facebook.com/jblohmeNick DiMario https://www.facebook.com/nick.dimario.94Support the showFor more details on Run Your Story happenings, including signing up for our upcoming training program, visit https://runyourstory.com/For web development, coding tutoring, or tech services, visit https://gaillardts.com/Go Run Your Story and take a piece of this story with you!

Welp, it's a wrap folks! Welcome to the last episode of Season 2 of asPERusual and onePERspective. In this feature segment of asPERusual, guest listener and patient partner Kathy Smith offers a short recap and her key takeaways from last week's episode of asPERusual focused on SPOR CHILD-BRIGHT. Tune in to this short (~10 minute) episode, regardless of whether you want to compare reflections or get the Coles notes of the full SPOR CHILD-Bright episode and learn more about engaging children, youth, and families in research.Episode Transcript:Hi everyone! Welcome back to onePERspective, a tri-weekly segment in which patient partner Kathy Smith shares a synopsis and key reflections from the previous week's episode of asPERusual – a podcast for practical patient engagement. My name is Anna Chudyk, and I am asPERusual's host. This is officially the last episode of season 2 of asPERusual, and onePERspective, by association. But have no fear, I'm already booking tapings for next season, so we definitely do plan to be back sometime in the fall again.On this episode of onePERspective, Kathy is recapping our previous episode that featured Carrie Costello, Annette Majnemer and Gillian Backlin from the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (or SPOR for Short) CHILD-BRIGHT Network. The network is funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research – Canada's national health research funder – with the aim of making the future brighter for children with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families through patient engagement (also referred to as patient and public involvement) and patient-oriented research. If you're unfamiliar with the concepts, patient engagement actively and meaningfully involves patients and caregivers as members of research teams, while patient-oriented research incorporates patient engagement into research that focuses on patient-identified priorities and outcomes. Now that we're all hopefully on the same page, I'll hand it over to you Kathy for your onePERspective! Kathy Smith:All of the patient engagement entities funded by Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) under Canada's Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) have given us insightful and unique models for patient and public involvement. CHILD-BRIGHT is a national network made up of a team 15 funders, 500 researchers, as well as clinicians, policy-makers, parents. What stands out though is the inclusion of young partners with lived, or living, experience (PWLEs). CHILD-BRIGHT authentically integrates children as active team members in all research projects and advisory activities. They are all focused on making brighter futures for children and youth with brain-based developmental disabilities. Hearing Carrie, Annette and Gillian describe the depth and breadth of engagement of their youth sector was something new that piqued my interest. “Nothing abut me without me” is really in play. We listeners learned about special considerations related to authentically engaging younger people and their families. We were given how-to methods we could now incorporate within our own engagement communities. As well, Carrie, Annette and Gillian provided examples of where the PWLE voices powered moving research into improved practice and policies for all children living with brain-based developmental challenges.For proof of concept, Id like to share a couple of my own personal affirmations of the power of the voices of children with lived experience can contribute. At our regional hospital, a very young child had endured repeated surgeries. Finally, he asked if he could be taken into surgery in a wagon, instead of the big scary gurney. Now, all children at our regional hospital enjoy that wagon ride into surgery. A child engineered this patient-centric improvement in care! A powerful example of “for patients by patients” done by a young PWLE! I'll share a more personal example convincing me of the power of youth voices sharing their lived experiences to improve patient care. Bloodwork is frequent when you are undergoing chemotherapy. Veins are exquisitely tenders making the draws quite painful. A 7-year old lad in an adjoining cubicle was to receive his bloodwork. He had his arms folded. He refused to unfold them because he saw the technician was not going to use the special equipment for sensitive veins. He stood firm repeating; “I will not unfold my arms until you bring in the “butterfly” – a much smaller, gentler apparatus for blood draws. Asserting his lived experience knowledge and insisting on more responsive patient-centric care, he helped me dealing with my own sore veins and dread of the draw. I asked for, and got, the butterfly too! And that made all the difference. I was so impressed by, and eternally grateful for, that young lad for voicing his concerns and correcting a gap in patient care.CHILD BRIGHT examines many gaps in (1) early identification; (2) innovative technologies and (3) rehabilitation with input from the entire team. Parents like Carrie, and patients like Gillian, are co-investigators on research projects surrounding their three themes that were developed in partnership with parents and youth: projects that optimize developmental outcomes; projects that integrate mental health support into care for patients and their families; and projects that redesign health care services to be more responsive to family needs.Now entering CHILD-BRIGHT's second phase, the focus will shift to implementing the knowledge gleaned during the past six years in Phase One. I'd like to learn more about their individualized knowledge translation hubs targeted either for clinicians, for parents, or for policymakers always ensuring the concepts equity, diversity, inclusion, decolonization and Indigenisation are integrated into the hubs and in all the research activities they undertake.As for patient involvement, Carrie describes her role as the “connector” between the Steering Committee, the other Patient Liaisons and the public at large. Similarly, I've referred to my PPI (Patient and Public Involvement) role as that of a bi-directional “honey bee”. Happy to see how their use of an expert to help them deliberately recruit new members thru targeted social media sites really paid off. And using their “matching tool” then fits the right Patient Liaison to the right project based on the specific information PWLE's are asked to supply in their onsite application.Gillian describes her role on the Youth Advocacy Council as that of a consultant – or collaborator - providing the voice lived experience on all committees and working groups or advising researchers. Really great to hear Gillian tell us how much her Youth group has grown and how they now have incorporated Liaison Partners from 13 First Nation groups. CHILD-BRIGHT's uniqueness centres on in its focus on youth and the extent of its inclusion of youths with lived experience in all aspects of engagement in research. And CHILD-BRIGHT shares the common struggles of other patient engagement in research (PER) entities surrounding recognition, remuneration and evaluation of success. It is likely even more challenging dealing with special issues working with youth as well as working with adults. Their heart is in the right place. They are united in purpose and their focus is on an underserved group: children and youth with brain-based developmental disabilities. I am grateful this podcast enlightened me about CHILD-BRIGHT. Thank you Anna, Annette, Carrie and Gillian!PERsonally Speaking1, Really appreciated learning about a patient engagement group of children and youth and their families. Really impressed at the depth and breadth of youth participation – even as co-authors of research!2. Again, we encounter the common theme of the importance of authentic bi-directional relationship building and the patience of time and whole lota money needed to build a successful and meaningful collaboration between patients and practitioners and policymakers.3. And again we see a PER group still working out the fine details surrounding recognition, remuneration and evaluation of engagement.Points to PonderFinal words to close out season 2. Each specific engagement entity will always have their own special priorities to deal with in their own special way, But all sites have common features of PER that I hope we can amalgamate into one, standard pan-Canadian PER agency. This common entity would have a repository matching a researcher request with best-fit, vetted PWLEs. And it would include dedicated PER Navigators to handle the administrative tasks for both the PWLE's and the researchers.Wishing you all a happy, safe and healthy, fun-filled summer!Anna:Thanks so much Kathy. I can't thank you enough for all of the time and energy you have poured into onePERspective and the wonderful insights that you have brought to all of us.

Listen in as Kathy Smith talks about David and Goliath!
As we age, our bodies undergo biological changes. Our immune system changes. Our brain changes with age. Our cognitive abilities change, as do our physical abilities. These changes impact everyone. But these biological processes may impact people with MS differently. And MS may impact these biological processes differently. Just a couple of weeks ago, the International Advisory Committee on Clinical Trials in MS brought together 100 top experts for a 3-day workshop dedicated to exploring how these many and varied changes can impact MS care.

I look back to the door Feel like I'm caught and stuck to the floor And so I cut myself free * This world's a treasure that is full of strife Every moment can enrich your life Just face your dragons with the edge of a knife It's a better life you see Come adventure with me. There are ugly goblins doing scary things Deep down in dungeons there are magic rings Live or die with the riddles we bring You'll find your way through the dark My Precious life Has so many memories Fluttering birds, butterflies in trees My home is comfort, comfort is a breeze But there's another way to live So many wars. It's an endless fight To slay our dragons that soar through our night But I'm no coward. I'll do what is right. Before I make my way home. Now I'm back with stories that ring A truth That soars up on eagle wings Let's not forget the songs elves sing Oh the joy that they bring! 25:25 - Marc Gunn “Come Adventure With Me” from Come Adventure With Me 29:54 - CLOSING Thanks for listening to Pub Songs & Stories.

Bras Across the Causeway is a charity run organized by Kathy Smith. The event was inspired by a conversation she had with radio host Matt McCoy in 2016 about finding a way to give back to the community and support breast cancer patients. They came up with the idea of a 5k run with a unique twist: stringing bras across the causeway. They started collecting donated bras and have amassed thousands of them, which they string up during the event to raise awareness for their cause.The money raised from the race entry fees goes into an account to support breast cancer patients' needs, such as gas, groceries, housing, clothing, daycare, and even covering copays and special medical tests. The funds are managed by the Providence Foundation, which works closely with patients to understand their unique needs.The race day is a lively and heartwarming event, featuring a survivor tent, a survivor walk, a 5k run, a one-mile run, and various vendors, including Cammie's Old Dutch ice cream and Hall's sausage. The event is a celebration of community support and a testament to the power of people coming together to help those affected by breast cancer. It's grown in popularity over the years and continues to positively impact the local community.

Today on the Women's Doctor, Kathy Smith joins us to discuss how to boost vitality in your later years. Kathy has been a fitness icon since the 1980's and continues to inspire women to strive for progress not perfection. In this episode, she brings you the best strategies to stay consistent in your new year's resolutions. She believes that consistency in the process will always supersede the results. Resolutions often fail because we are taught to rework our entire life around a singular goal. Incremental changes centered around fun, community and feeling great will not only be easier to stay consistent in but will also naturally create a healthier body. Instead of focusing on the physical look, seek out activity that energizes you! As we age, human growth hormones begin to decline, unfortunately reducing muscle mass in the body. For women entering into perimenopause, weight training becomes increasingly integral to the vitality of your body. Your body is the vessel that will enable you to do what you love until the end of your life. Simple daily changes are the key to unlocking stamina, joy and reversing the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Make 2023 the best year of your life! Start small and find movement that makes you feel amazing! Takeaways: [4:00] Reframe your new year's resolution by detaching from the results and embracing process [7:00] By focusing on one change at a time, you can stick to your resolutions longer [9:30] The health and habits of your immediate community heavily dictates your own health [13:30] Your morning habits, especially in winter, will help you conquer the rest of the day! [18:00] Being consistent in your resolution, even if you only have 7 minutes to work out that day [19:00] Focusing on habits that make your body feel great, you will naturally become healthier [21:00] Your body needs care because it is the vessel that will take you through your whole life [25:30] Fasting is a great way to break bad habits but you need to build back better habits after [28:00] As you age, exercise impacts your human growth hormones which affects your muscles [29:50] High intensity weight lifting affects your hormonal profile and promotes vitality [31:20] Dead Butt Syndrome is caused by a sedentary lifestyle shortening the hip flexors [35:30] Give yourself a 10 minute snack of exercise throughout the day is so powerful [39:00] Finding an exercise routine that matches an animal that you energetically relate to Mentioned in This Episode: https://www.kathysmith.com/ https://www.instagram.com/kathysmithfitness/ https://www.facebook.com/therealkathysmith Twitter: “It's just a reminder that you're not skipping days! This is your life. You're doing this for yourself. You're doing this because 2023 is going to be the best year!” [18:12] “The reason why you lift, not just a 3 pound weight, but a heavier weight, maybe twice a week is because of what it does on the cellular level to your mitochondria.” [29:50] “How do we get the shoulders back above the hips and how do we get our butt engaged and that's all called the posterior chain.” [34:20] “If you do have to sit, at least once an hour stand up and do a 2-3 minute power push where you do some squats, squat pop ups and knees up.” “Doing an exercise thing in the morning and then sitting for the rest of the day basically negates most of the benefits of that workout.” [35:55] Podcast Disclaimer: https://resources.thespadr.com/the-womans-doctor/#disclaimer
For Public Defenders who serve in coastal areas, the story on toady's show will be all too familiar. As Hurricane Ian barrelled toward the Florida coast, a state of emergency was declared and evacuation plans started to come together, but as is almost always the case, no one thought of those incarcerated. Today, Hunter spoke with Kathy Smith, Chief Public Defender in the 20th Judicial District of Florida, to discuss the impacts of the storm on those left in jail. Dating as far back as memory allows, state's failed their obligations to protect the lives of people both in and out of jail when natural disasters strike, and Hurricane Ian was no exception. For days, people, many of whom were in jail simply because they could not afford to pay bail, lived with raw sewage and without clean drinking water. Luckily, no one died from the state's neglect, but this episode serves as a powerful warning and reminder for those with a duty to protect people's lives: when a natural disaster strikes, remember the people who cannot evacuate and think of a way to keep them alive. Guest: Kathy Smith, Chief Public Defender, 20th Judicial District, Florida Key Takeaways: How Kathy got into this work [6:50] Historical response to natural disasters in the 20th District [10:50] The response to Hurricane Ian in the 20th District [12:34] Who was in the Ft Meyer's jail and what conditions did they face [18:27] Why pre-trial release is so important [24:42] Impacts and the way forward after Ian [26:41] Does Florida care about the Constitution or just the part it likes? [31:00] Changes for the Future [34:43] People arrested during the storm [38:00] Advice to other Public Defenders [41:20] Resources: USA Today Coverage of those left behind after Ian More Coverage on Ian Miami New Times Coverage People left in prison during: Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Harvey Hurricane Michael Hurricane Sandy Hurricane Ike, Maria, Matthew, Irene etc. Contact Hunter Parnell: hwparnell@publicdefenseless.com Instagram Twitter www.publicdefenseless.com

Joe Donlon is one of the eight, male main news anchors in the history of KGW-TV (Richard Ross, John North, Ralph Wenge, Bill Lagatutta, Pete Schulberg, Steve Abrams, Jim Benneman-- only one of them was jerk, and I never met Ross, or North. I have no idea who the current main, male anchor is at KGW. The main women anchors over time have been Robin Chapman, Kathy Smith, Tracy Barry, Carol Jensen, and Laurel Porter-- They were all very nice.) BACK TO JOE. He was a stellar news anchor and newsroom leader for 21 years. He's also a wonderful guy to be around. He could have eased into retirement after a few more years KGW, but took on a huge challenge in 2018, moving to WGN Chicago to anchor its flagship newscast, and now Joe is helping the corporation start a new, national cable news network—News Nation. He was the obvious choice to host of “The Donlon Report” there nightly. Loved re-visiting the KGW days with Joe, including the weird, I think useless, advice he got from our assistant news director seconds before going on the air for one of the biggest news stories of his time in the Northwest.

Bill was only in Portland, as a main anchor at KGW, for a few years, but he had a big impact. Stories of newsroom pranks are legendary, especially with his co-anchor, friend, and sometimes foil Kathy Smith. (Listen to Kathy's podcast to get her side of the story) Among the stories here, how Bill and Sports Director Scott Lynn stripped down and took a photo in Kathy's bathtub-- at her home. Also learn the words of wisdom Bill shared with me when I was a young reporter that stayed with me throughout my career. Bill moved on to KCBS in Los Angeles and then covered many national stories as a CBS News correspondent and for 48 Hours. Now Bill lives on an orchard in Northern California. He's an accomplished artist while he and his wife run a TV production company.
“The delicate balance of mentoring someone is not creating them in your own image, but giving them the opportunity to create themselves.” — Steven Spielberg In this episode, we are talking about mentorship. As faculty in academic medicine, we know that mentors are critical to our success. We also know that our needs are best met when we have a network of mentors. Acknowledging that many of our best mentoring relationships happen naturally, we also need some structure to provide a foundation and a clear understanding of our roles and expectations. We hope you enjoy this discussion and find some helpful information to enhance your role as both a mentor and mentee. Special thanks to our guests Dr. Kathy Smith, MD, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, Director of GME Faculty Development, Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Dr. Rajesh Khanna, Professor in the Department of Pharmacology. Thanks to Dr. Mel Anderson from the University of Colorado School of Medicine who presented these articles at his seminar for our faculty entitled “Weaving a Web: Effecting Mentoring Relationships” on September 17th, 2020.
