It is Pride Month, and given the current and intense politicalization of the rights of transgender individuals, we are pleased to present here an encore of a conversation between Laurie Lee Hall and LDF host Dan Wotherspoon. Originally presented under the umbrella of how different people view God as gendered or not, Laurie Lee shares her experiences as a transgender woman and Latter-day Saint. She shares her story of presenting as a man for the first fifty years of her life, all the while feeling her spirit is female. During this time, she became an architect who worked for the LDS church for many years designing temples, meeting houses, and other church buildings. She was also married with children and served a full term as a stake president. She eventually knew that she could no longer live with her outside presentation being at odds with her true self and shared her truth with her family, general authorities, and those with whom she served in her stake. This led to many upheavals, including divorce, losing her job with the church, as well as her church membership. All along the way, Laurie Lee had very powerful experiences with God that she touches on here. She also shares the outline of her life and relationships today. This is a powerful episode--one that would be good to share with those who do not understand transgender experience. So many people follow along with the political attacks on these persons, as well using their religious beliefs as weapons and excuses for not truly trying to understand transgender individuals and the violence that is being done to these fellow children of God through their rhetoric and actions.

Welcome to Donor Diaries' Season 1 closer! In Season 1 of Donor Diaries, we covered a range of topics. We covered how to ask somebody for a kidney, the pains and history of dialysis, how to manifest a kidney, kidney chains, living donor protections, the racial disparity that exists in our current transplant system, the economic value of a kidney, kidney donor athletes who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Insider's guide to living donation, and the exciting world of bone marrow. Phew, what a great year! In Episode 12 we revisit some highlights from Season 1 and catch up with Johnna and Mary from Episode 1, to see how Johnna is doing post-transplant, and Mary, post-donation. We also check in with the Kidney Donor Athletes who climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro, summiting on World Kidney Day!Over 100,000 people are out there right now waiting for a lifesaving kidney transplant. At least 13 people die a day waiting for one they never get. Plain and simple- living donation solves this problem, this is a solvable problem! We have close to a dozen living donors on Donor Diaries this season, and they are all living proof that someone who donates a kidney goes on to live a totally normal and healthy life and has the same life expectancy of somebody with two kidneys. Is living donation meant for everyone? No, absolutely not! But, it is a great option for some, that saves and improves lives of everyday people like you and me. You don't have to wait until you die to donate a kidney. You can do it now and see the ripple effect of your donation while you are still alive.We are taking a short break to start working on Season 2 of Donor Diaries, and hope you join us for Season 2 at the end of summer 2022.

Alastair Humphreys has built an impressive career as a creator using a simple formula:Step 1: Go on an adventure.Step 2: Write a story about it.Step 3: Earn money from it.Step 4: Repeat.Sounds Simple. But far from easy.In this episode, we dive into Alastair's creative process – from planning, adventuring, writing to publishing and eventually, getting paid. We'll also discuss how Alastair has navigated hard times to persist as a creator for 15+ years, his journey from teaching to writing to filmmaking to children's books to podcasting, balancing family life with adventuring and creating, and tips for writing stories about your personal experiences that readers will love and publishers will buy.*Alastair Humphreys is a National Geographic Adventurer of the Year, podcaster, filmmaker, and author of 13 books. He spent over 4 years cycling around the world, a journey of 46,000 miles through 60 countries and 5 continents. More recently Alastair has walked across southern India, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, run six marathons through the Sahara desert, completed a crossing of Iceland, and participated in an expedition in the Arctic.In 2018, Alastair trekked over 350 miles across Spain in the footsteps of his adventurer-author hero Laurie Lee, feeding himself only with money he earned busking. He turned that story into the enthralling, raw memoir, My Midsummer Morning: Rediscovering a Life of Adventure.*SHOW NOTES[05:07] Alastair's rowing experience across the Atlantic Ocean[07:06] How to push yourself in your path of adventure by starting small[09:48] Big adventures and how to turn them into micro-adventures when life gets in the way[12:10] Alastair's coping mechanisms during the pandemic including climbing a tree, plus the importance of passive income[15:49] How to find an audience for your writings that's beyond friends and family[18:24] Alastair's love for travel books and what inspired him to write[19:13] About Alastair's busking adventure in Spain and how this led to this book, My Midsummer Morning, and balancing adventuring life and home life[28:31] Alastair's journey from having a publisher to self-publishing his own books[33:22] On trying new things and becoming an expert in your own niche[37:04] How to get paid gigs with brands & and how to approach brands[40:11] On self-doubt and how to get past it[42:53] What would your eighty-year-old self tell you to do today?*QUOTES FROM ALASTAIR“There's a blog post called, The Long Tail, which shows you graphically like, how many times you'll hug your parents again, how many times you'll swim in the ocean again, and if you see it graphically, there are so few. And if he'd been so inclined, he could probably have written on his little bar chart: here are the books you have time to write in your life. And I suspect once you see that, your eighty-year-old self would suggest that you begin.”*“If you're a writer and you compare yourself to Shakespeare, it's pointless. If you're going to play football in the park and you compare yourself to Lionel Messi, it's pointless. But we spend all our lives measuring ourselves against people like this. It's ridiculous. So call yourself a working whatever, and then get to work and try and find a thousand people who read your books and then repeat the process and try and get 2000 for the next one.

Race Matters with Dr. Dinee SimpsonPlainly stated, white people are four times more likely to receive a kidney transplant than an African-American people. And, Asian-Americans and Native Americans, have more than double the likelihood of receiving a kidney transplant than African-Americans. This is the case despite African-Americans having higher rates of diabetes and high blood pressure than other racial cohorts. These are the health conditions that put people at further risk for organ failures. According to UNOS, once a patient is on the waitlist, the system policy that we have assures equity. The problem is everything before that. A good nephrologist should be thinking about transplantation for any patient who has progressive end-stage renal disease. That doesn't happen as much with African Americans and Hispanics and probably poor people. But it's clear that African Americans and Hispanics are not referred or preemptive transplants as much as others. Disparities in access to renal transplantation between black people and white people have been extensively documented, and show that black people have significantly poorer access to transplant. This is a major problem that many institutions are taking an action to correct.Dr. Dinee Simpson, is one of nine Black female transplant surgeons in the United States. She's committed to breaking down barriers to transplant care in the African American community through access to education, resources and world-class transplant care. She founded the The Northwestern Medicine African American Transplant Access Program (AATAP), to address disparity in access to transplantation experienced by the Black community. AATAP is a program built for the Black community, based on feedback and conversations with Black community members about the challenges of navigating a complex diagnosis and the healthcare system. The four pillars of the program address patient distrust of health care, cultural competency, health literacy, and psychosocial support.

The Ultimate Gift Episode 12 "Thirteen people die daily waiting for an organ.” – Laurie Lee In this episode, Holly & Kristin talk with Laurie Lee about: Laurie's early career experiences that led her and her husband to start their own business. Her dad's life-saving liver transplant and her journey into the world of living organ donation. A beautiful story of gratitude and paying it forward. Laurie's organ donation documentary with living donors telling their stories on stage. Many describe “the calling” as a lightening strike. Key Takeaways The amazing feeling that comes with saving someone's life. The Kidney Champion Program helps patients seeking organs on how to conduct a social media campaign to find a donor. It's an effective way to find an organ. People want to know that they are going to be okay if they make a living organ donation and to know that it's not going to impact their health in the future. The cost of the organ donation is covered by the receiving patient's insurance and there are many other resources available to make sure there is no financial impact to the organ donor. Laurie Lee, is from Hawthorn Woods, IL, and now lives in Algonquin, IL with her husband Rob Lee. Her passions include her family & friends, adventure travel, SCUBA diving, her pets, her business Swift Passport Services , the outdoors, and transplant. Laurie is a non-directed kidney donor whose donation sparked a 6-person transplant chain on Nov 22, 2016. She was compelled to become a donor after her father, Dan Dickinson, received a lifesaving liver transplant in 2011. Laurie is one of the original members of Northwestern Medicine's Transplant Advisory Council, that powers Transplant Village. Transplant Village is an inspired group of organ recipients, donors and their families is united in their mission to support the future of organ transplantation at Northwestern Medicine while connecting and supporting the transplant community. Her main role with Transplant Village is facilitating a monthly workshop called the Kidney Champion Program which teaches people who are in need of a kidney different strategies to attract a living kidney donor. Laurie enjoys working on projects in the transplant world that make an impact! She was one of the organizers of the 2018 Donor Rally which resulted in a Guinness World Record for the largest number of Living Organ Donors (410!) in one place. She is currently wholeheartedly invested in CrowdSource for Life and is a producer for a docuseries called Abundant which explores the concept of abundance through stories of non-directed organ donation. She believes this project is the catalyst that our society needs right now to pay attention and to take action, so that people don't have to die or suffer waiting for an organ transplant. Her podcast, Donor Diaries, was developed to support this project and it's initiatives. Laurie is extremely interested in connecting with people who share her interest in flooding the donor pool, so that nobody has to wait for a life-saving transplant.

The cartoonist, writer and illustrator Posy Simmonds brilliantly captures the ambitions and pretensions of the literary world, and the journalist and curator Paul Gravett has worked in comics publishing for decades. Together they bring graphic novels and comic books to the foreground with the Slightly Foxed team. We draw moral lessons from the Ally Sloper cartoons of the 1870s, glimpse Frans Masereel's wordless woodcut stories of the 1920s, view the pictorial politics of Citizen 13660 by Miné Okubo in the 1940s and revisit Art Spiegelman's 1992 Pulitzer Prize-winning Maus before taking a closer look at more contemporary works. From a tragicomic summer with Joff Winterhart, nuclear explosions with Raymond Briggs, the shadow of James Joyce with Mary and Bryan Talbot and an Iranian childhood with Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis, the discussion moves through panels, frames, splashes and spreads to Posy Simmonds's own methods in bringing literature to life, including crosshatching to Vivaldi. Originally serialized in the Guardian, Posy's Gemma Bovery builds on the bones of Flaubert's Madame Bovary and Tamara Drewe draws from Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, while Cassandra Darke takes inspiration from Dickens's A Christmas Carol. Though rooted in the classics, the devil is in Posy's detail, be it real French coffee pots, the joy of characters' names, such as Kevin Penwallet, and fictional places, such as Tresoddit. We continue our travels off the beaten track with our usual round-up of reading recommendations, and a trip to Gilbert White's House and Gardens in Hampshire, where we view the landscapes that sparked his evergreen classic The Natural History of Selborne.

In most cases, when someone steps forward as a living donor, nobody actually asks them to donate a kidney. Usually, the donor hears the story of someone needing a kidney and makes the decision to donate without being asked. The Living Kidney Donors Network (LKDN) is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization established in 2007 by Harvey Mysel whose primary mission is to educate people in need of a kidney transplant about living kidney donation and help them communicate their need to family members and friends. LKDN also has a program that educates the public about the need for living kidney donors.Harvey is a 2-time kidney transplant recipient. After proactively managing an inherited kidney condition, PKD (Polycystic Kidney Disease) for over 20 years he had his first kidney transplant in February 2007. He was fortunate that his wife Amy was a compatible donor. Harvey contracted a virus, (BK Virus,) 2 years after his transplant and after years of battling this virus, in August 2012 he had his second kidney transplant. Harvey and his donor, Stephen Liegghio, who was introduced to Harvey by an advocate, were involved in a 3-way kidney paired exchange.Most kidney donors donate to someone they know and patients need to first have the knowledge about living kidney transplants and learn how to develop their kidney campaign so they could be effective in communicating their need. The FREE online program Having Your Donor Find YOU! does just that. In addition to the work he does at the LKDN, Harvey is a tri-athlete, competing in a triathlon 5 months after his first transplant. He is a 3-time Gold Medal winner and Silver medalist in the Transplant Games. Harvey is an accomplished bicycle rider, tennis player, platform tennis player, bowler, hiker and rock climber.Episode LinksDonor DiariesLiving Kidney Donors NetworkNorthwestern Kidney Champion ProgramNational Kidney Donor OrganizationJohns Hopkins COVID/kidney Recipient Study

#103: Laurie Lee: Creating a New Model for Legal Consultation

Laurie Lee, JD, attorney, and owner of The Legal Department speaks with Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner, and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy Podcast about how small business professionals can benefit from legal services. Laurie discusses when to reach out to an attorney for advice, which legal issues you can handle on your own, and the importance of properly protecting your clients. Episode Highlights: What is Laurie’s background? The legal industry is typically focused on money and winning. The Legal Department is focused on serving businesses that serve others and does this through relationship building. Laurie’s business model for The Legal Department uses fixed fees for their services and is based on whether you have an Infrastructure Plan or prefer a project-based partnership. What are some of the legal issues business owners can handle on their own? Is it true the creation and implementation of something provides some level of copyright protection? Or should everything be submitted to get copyright approval? Laurie shares her advice for copyrighting materials you produce. What does Laurie say small business owners should know about trademarks? What about logos? What happens when people try to include proper nouns in trademarks? What are the highlights of Laurie’s infrastructure map? How should a small business owner conduct a risk-benefit analysis when seeking legal expertise? What legal resources does Laurie recommend for small business owners? 3 Key Points: It’s critical to find an attorney you can communicate with effectively. Avoiding your attorney is the worst thing you can do. Don’t ignore the structure of how you set up your employees and contractors. Everything you provide as a service provider counts as intellectual property and it needs to be properly protected. Tweetable Quotes: “Our money and our time is very valuable and if we're spending that on dealing with conflicts, we're not spending it on growing our businesses.” – Laurie Lee “The more you avoid getting legal advice, the more risk you have." – Laurie Lee Resources Mentioned: Infrastructure Map: https://thelegaldepartment.law/what-we-do/ The Legal Department Website: https://thelegaldepartment.law/ United States Patent and Trademark Office: uspto.gov U.S. Copyright Office: https://www.copyright.gov/ #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #smallbiz #legaladvice #legalconsult #bizowner

Dust off your violin

The Doorstep Mile

Play Episode Listen Later Apr 2, 2020 8:11

Dust off your violinAfter many years of cajoling myself towards an adventurous life, I had a pretty solid grasp of what I was looking for. All I needed to do was get on with it. But if adventure is about uncertainty and risk, there comes a point when more of the same no longer counts as living adventurously. I had ended up in a comfort zone, even if it involved deserts and wild places. It was time to change direction.For many years my favourite travel book had been As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning. Laurie Lee walked through Spain in the 1930s, playing his violin to fund the journey. It is a beautiful story and the idea of recreating it tantalised me. But for 15 years I kept chickening out. I couldn't play any musical instrument. The thought of having to perform or sing or dance in public is my idea of hell. But I could never quite get the idea out of my head. The thought of busking seemed horribly vulnerable. I had never attempted anything like it before. I would probably fail. It was ridiculous. Or, to put it differently: it sounded like an adventure and precisely what I needed.On a whim, I took out my phone, Googled for a local violin teacher and dashed off a quick email. That was my Doorstep Mile action – one email set everything in motion after 15 years of barriers and doubt.I quickly learned that the violin cannot be quickly learned. I had wildly overestimated how much I would be able to learn in seven months. But I worked hard at the infernal instrument, concentrating only on the day's homework rather than the nerve-wracking ultimate challenge of depending upon the violin to earn my next meal.I had to face the sorry fact that I was terrible: nobody would give me any money! The trip was going to be an embarrassment and a disaster. The sensible compromise was to take my wallet and just busk for a bit of fun. More sensible still was to postpone the trip for a year or two until I could actually play the violin.Fortunately in life, however, the only sensible options are not the only options. I turned up in Spain, and I began.I emptied the final coins from my pocket and piled them on a park bench. Then I walked off into Spain one midsummer morning to see whether I could survive for a month with no money.The first time I set up my violin to play was the most scared I had felt since the day I set off to row across the Atlantic. Isn't that crazy? Rowing an ocean is a frightening thing to do. There are storms and salty buttocks. But what was I scared of on that sunny morning in Spain?What I was afraid of was all the vulnerability inside me, the most significant stuff of all. The baggage we hide away and hide behind. The demons that stop us living as adventurously as we dream of. The things that I hope this book has provoked you into exploring within yourself.I stood alone in that plaza, sawing away at the violin. I could hack my way through five terrible songs, each about 30 seconds long. I looped round and round while my heart sank lower and lower. I was embarrassed, sure to fail and dreading having to acknowledge that to myself and the world.An elderly gentleman had been watching me from a bench in the plaza for a long time. Eventually, he stood up and walked over to me, leaning on his walking stick. I thought, ‘Uh-oh, I'm in trouble now. He's going to say, ‘Señor, enough. Clear off. Please, give us back our peace.” But he didn't say that. Instead, the man reached into his pocket. He pulled out a coin, and he gave it to me. I thought my heart was going to explode with delight, relief, amusement and surprise. I'd done it! I had earned a coin from playing the violin. Before the trip, when I was on the verge of backing out of the whole venture, I made myself a deal. ‘Don't worry about the whole trip. Just go out there and earn one Euro. That's all you need to do. With a Euro, you can buy a bag of rice. With a bag of rice, you can walk for a week. After that, we'll talk…'I spent a month hiking cross country through the beautiful landscapes of northern Spain, dropping down into villages every couple of days to earn enough money for the next stage. It was a magical experience. But the hundreds of miles and the nights under the stars were not what made it special. I've done that stuff half my life. The adventure out in Spain was standing in a plaza in front of a handful of people and declaring, ‘here I am. This is all that I have got. This is my best shot.' Play the next song. Earn the next coin. That is all we can ever do. The violin was the adventure. ***I spent most of my 20s and 30s chasing a specific manifestation of an adventurous life. That carefree vagabond dream changed as ‘real life' arrived and I evolved from carefree AdventurerTM to busy Dad. I still try to live adventurously but have had to modify how I do that. Sometimes it works fantastically, at other times it frustrates me. This year I have merely scheduled time in my diary to climb a tree once a month. But that has made a far bigger difference than I could have imagined. So as someone who exchanged ambitious dreams of a life on the open road for a cup of tea up an oak tree, let me finish by saying this. I don't think we should pin our hopes on one adventure of a lifetime. Instead, we should strive for a lifetime of living more adventurously every day. Do something daily that excites you, makes you happier, fulfilled and curious. Something that scares you a little. It is the process that is important, the direction you walk, not the notional outcome at the end of that journey. An email to a violin teacher. A morning text message to your friend about that idea you always dream of late at night, a meeting at work about a new project. However ambitious your ultimate dream, whatever you decide to start with and build into a habit ought to be really small. So small that there is no reason not to do it today. What step will you take right now to get you across the doorstep and set you in motion towards living more adventurously?Good luck. Over to You: What would be your personal equivalent of busking through Spain? When will you begin it? ★ Support this podcast ★

Think about your life, particularly your routines. Yes, these can serve us – up to a point. They help us get on with life. In other ways, however, they are harmful. They can prevent us from learning and growing. They can get us stuck. Our thought patterns are similar - psychologists and neuroscientists talk about something called the “default mode network” – our familiar thought patterns. It's therefore good to disrupt our routines and patterns. Our latest guest is all about that. Alastair Humphreys has cycled around the world, rowed across the Atlantic, walked the 1,000 km Empty Quarter and completed loads of other rugged, tough, and risky adventures. So, what does someone like this do for his next adventure? Well, with no musical training and a self-professed limited musical aptitude, he learns to play some basic notes and tunes on the violin - of course. And then spends a month busking in Spain as he walks from Vigo to Madrid, eating only from the money he earns busking. That's because adventure is not just about rugged men doing epic things. Adventure is about getting outside of your comfort zone. This is something Alastair has pioneered through the concept of “micro adventures” – shorter adventures that are designed to get us outside of our familiar routines. He was even named National Geographic's Adventurer of the Year for his work on micro adventures. Alastair writes about his violin busking adventure in his wonderful book My Midsummer Morning in which he follows the footsteps of another Englishman, Laurie Lee who in 1935 completed the same journey and wrote As I Walked Out One Midsummer Morning, one of Alastair's favourite travel books.

A motivational and inspiration conversation with this intrepid explorer.

485: An Open-Hearted Wrestle with Temples, Tithing, and Other Church and Personal Priorities

Mormon Matters - (Dan Wotherspoon ARCHIVE)

Play Episode Listen Later May 29, 2018 54:28

Every time a new temple is announced, especially when it is to be built in the developing world, it's not very long before discussions begin to arise about the priority the LDS Church puts on building temples. Soon after that, some will begin to ask about these (expensive) buildings and if that money used to build and operate them longterm might not be better put toward feeding people and alleviating poverty or seeking to end other social ills. And, finally, the question of tithing will inevitably then arise: Is tithing, as practiced in Mormonism, fair? Is it right to require people who live in dire (by most North American standards) circumstances to pay tithing—sometimes, it will be argued, meaning they will make the choice to be obedient to that law even if it means not eating as well or paying for medicine? In this episode, the wonderful Laurie Lee Hall and Jim Smithson join Mormon Matters host Dan Wotherspoon for a goodly wrestle with these questions. Without pre-conceived answers nor the thought that there is only one way to respond to these competing priorities, the two panelists share their experiences within the Church's Temple Department and its Research Division, respectively, as well as perspectives they gained through their extensive travels around the world on behalf of the church. Laurie Lee shares an overview of temple building in the past half-century and what she has gathered through the years as the factors that are considered before they are announced and as leaders determine their size and the costs of building and maintaining them, as well as improving and protecting the area immediately adjacent to them. Jim speaks to his experiences interviewing and interacting with Saints around the world as he spoke with them about various church programs and policies and how they affect their religious lives. And it all gets complicated and more personally affecting as Dan inserts aspects of the issues spoken of above. Do these international Saints, especially those in the developing world, share the same concerns that many here do about temple costs and how the law of tithing may affect them differently? Are we who might make these arguments projecting our feelings and sensibilities about the tragedies of their lives onto them? Is it proper to question, from our perspectives, Church priorities? Are their aspects of temple work and tithing that might lie beyond that which is quantifiable by counting dollars and cents? What good fruits can come into our lives as we wrestle in these areas?

Today on Tea & Tattle, I’m in conversation with the author and art critic, Laura Freeman, who recently published the incredible bibliomemoir, The Reading Cure: How Books Restored My Appetite. In her book, Laura describes her diagnosis of anorexia as a teenager, and how her insatiable hunger for books gradually helped restore her to health and happiness. In today's interview, Laura explains how Dickens's novels awakened her to the pleasures of eating and the associative powers of food. Emboldened by a A Christmas Carol, one December she tasted her first spoonful of Christmas pudding since her diagnosis. It was the travel memoirs of Patrick Leigh Fermor and Laurie Lee that encouraged Laura to be braver when traveling and opened her up to the excitements of tasting local cuisines. Some of my favourite passages from the book were Laura's descriptions of discovering the food writer M.F.K. Fisher, who wrote so memorably about her adventures as an American woman in France, and I was delighted when Laura chose a section about Fisher to read aloud during our interview. I'm sure Laura's book will be one of my top 5 favourites from 2018, not only because it speaks so eloquently and honestly on a subject that affects so many women, but also because it whetted my own appetite for so many of the novels that Laura credits on her road to recovery. I nodded along in agreement over her appreciation for Little Women and Cider With Rosie, but Laura's pages on Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man, A Month in the Country, and so many others, had me rushing to Daunt Books to purchase my own copies. I so enjoyed my conversation with Laura, and I know this episode will be a brilliant listen for anyone who has ever experienced the restorative power of great literature.

She served as Stake President of the Tooele Utah Valley View Stake in Tooele, Utah for 8 years. While she remembers identifying internally as a woman from a very young age, she began to experience intense pressure to transition to female while serving as an LDS Stake President.
