We have the pleasure of meeting our next guest, Carlos Contreras, in his captivating and innovative shared artist space, a unique initiative he's spearheading called the "Artist Factory." This concept represents the first of its kind in Albuquerque—a gathering place for various artists and service providers to collaborate under one roof, creating a dynamic and supportive creative community.During our conversation, Carlos passionately discusses the idea of nested businesses and the potential of bringing together artists and creators to contribute to their local community. His vision shines through as he envisions a space where these talents can flourish with the right support and investment.Born and raised in Albuquerque, Carlos grew up in a traditional Catholic family, shaped by the influence of his marine father and the challenges posed by his mother's mental health issues. Despite the tough love atmosphere at home, Carlos found solace and expression in the arts. His journey began as a slam poet performer, a culture he embraced and excelled in, which helped him carve out his identity.As life unfolded, Carlos transitioned into marriage and fatherhood, only to find himself divorced and returning home to Albuquerque. Here, he embarked on a new artistic path, exploring painting on large canvases. A defining moment emerged when his young daughter expressed interest in painting on his artwork. Carlos's decision to embrace her creativity inspired him to venture into abstract art, fundamentally altering his creative trajectory.Join us as we delve into Carlos's story, discovering the evolution of his artistic expression, his resilience, and the unique community-building endeavor he's embarked upon with the Artist Factory. The Jar provides a platform for him to share his experiences, insights, and aspirations with us all. For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

Our next guest, John Thompson, welcomed us into his uniquely adorned apartment in Santa Fe—a space transformed into a haven of new age universe vibes. His apartment resonated with the atmosphere of his endeavors, including a makeshift recording area for his audio books—a testament to his dedication.John's upbringing was colored by his adopted mother's determination to pursue her passion for singing, performing wherever she could, even in churches and prisons. At 24, a significant turn of events occurred when his birth mother reached out to him on Facebook. Their meeting, along with the discovery of a sibling, proved overwhelming for a young man processing the complexities of these new relationships.As we delve deeper into John's narrative, we uncover his writing journey, which began as early as fourth grade and has since flourished into a complex and vast ecosystem of creative expression. John's adult audio work is a testament to his dedication to curating and sharing this expansive literary world.Despite his artistic inclinations, John also engaged in sports during his high school years. A recurring theme in many of our guests' stories—the profound influence of grandparents—shines through. For John, his grandma Lona stood as a guiding force, grounding him throughout his life journey.John generously shares his writing process, reflecting on the lessons he's learned along the way: the significance of carving out dedicated writing time, the importance of pursuing one's bliss, the reminder not to become a mere chapter in someone else's story, and the recognition that life is an ongoing draft, allowing us to learn from our mistakes.In this installment of The Jar, we join John as he opens up about his life experiences, weaving together tales of family dynamics, personal growth, and the power of creative expression. For more of John check out:His website: www.adultstorytime.netInstagram: gratefulwanderer7Podcast: Oddville revue with Adam Herman and John thompsonFor more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

Talking queer liberation and LGBTQIA+ experiences and the need to fight for true freedom!

The group, surrounded by a dense fog, begins to hear echoing whispers in the air around them. They're called liars, thieves and murderers. When they discover that the voice responds to their assertions that they are not those things, they reveal their purpose that they wish to move forward and cause no harm. “Catch me if you can” is the response before the voice goes silent.As they attempt to find their original trail, Trix makes the suggestion that the voice may be the witch and Rou asks the disembodied voice. The only response is a laugh and the sound of tinkling bells. When Eight calls out that they wish to offer the witch something in trade, the fog begins to thin. Ahead of them is a hut, surrounded by gardens, goats and wandering rabbits. They enter the hut, eyes scanning for traps and tricks. Follow us on Twitter @RoadsUnchartedFollow Dax @GM_Dax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue and Wren @ThornyDryad Affiliates with Friday Afternoon Tea

We had the pleasure of meeting Kelley Koehler at her massage studio – a space that resonates with intention, warmth, and mindfulness. As she welcomed us, it was clear that Kelley has undergone a remarkable transformation. She radiates a sense of self-love and maturity that contrasts vividly with the person she was not too long ago.Kelley's roots trace back to suburban Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Her father's occupation as a racecar driver and her mother's self-absorption marked her upbringing. The divorce of her parents during her third-grade year led to a series of moves orchestrated by her mother's quest for work opportunities. From Arkansas to Wisconsin, the family navigated small towns as her mother hustled for a better life.The shift from her Wisconsin small town to the bustling urban environment of Houston during her teenage years was a jarring experience. Kelley, who had been accustomed to being the center of attention in her small-town schools, suddenly found herself a small fish in a much larger pond. Coping with this culture shock and the ensuing struggle to fit in, Kelley turned to alcohol, drugs, and other means of self-soothing.However, her life took a different direction. She left home at 17, and by the time she turned 18, she was in rehab. Surprisingly, her challenges weren't centered around drugs or alcohol; instead, she realized that her core issue was codependency and the need to learn how to navigate life independently from the influence of her narcissistic mother.Kelley's journey included six marriages and six children. The cumulative experiences brought her to a moment of profound self-discovery. Now, in this beautiful chapter of her life, she has embraced self-love and has surrendered to her own identity. She has learned to stand strong in her individuality and no longer seeks someone or something external to complete her. Join us as we bear witness to Kelley's inspiring transformation, a narrative that unfolds with each step she takes through The Jar.For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

We had the privilege of meeting our next guest, David Andrew, on a Thursday afternoon in Santa Fe. His apartment, located just off the main drag, still carried the sense of a recent transition. As we parked the van and began unloading our gear, the door to his apartment swung open, and there stood David, shirtless, waving us in with a casual declaration that he had just woken up. After getting settled, we took a moment to chat and even shared a morning cigarette.David hails from northern New York, a child of the countryside, born in '66. His early years were marked by the loss of his father, an MD, when he was just three. He recalls those formative memories – the juxtaposition of his father's death and his birthday – and the long darkness that followed. His mother eventually remarried, introducing a stepfather into David's life. Like many of us, David endured the routine of high school and college, a job in a tie that felt like his personal version of hell. The turning point came when he abandoned that life and headed west. His first job, washing dishes at the Grand Canyon resort, brought a sense of freedom that he hadn't experienced before.It was during his time at the Grand Canyon that David experienced his first taste of love – a love that was transient and left him feeling like he had fallen into a pit. As this chapter of his life came to a close, he made his way to Lubbock, Texas, where he spent over two decades building a life. He became deeply involved in the community theater scene, and those years shaped his identity, at least until he grew disillusioned with his job and the path he had been on. This pivotal moment in Lubbock marked the beginning of David's journey to Santa Fe, where he hoped to discover his next steps.David is a profoundly intriguing individual, and his complexity invites compassion. His interview is raw and unfiltered, peppered with strong language and directness – a genuine conversation with a real person. In 2005, he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, a factor that has influenced his life's trajectory. During our conversation, David shares a heartfelt plea to his daughter, asking for forgiveness for not being the best parent while grappling with his mental health struggles.Join us as we listen to David's story in his own words, a narrative that navigates through his highs and lows, triumphs and challenges, as he continues to forge his path within the pages of The Jar. For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

We have the privilege of meeting our next guest, Anthony Kunkal, in his mountain home nestled on the outskirts of Durango. It's a place that perfectly reflects his adventurous and unconventional spirit.Our encounter with Anthony was marked by a serendipitous moment as we spotted him running up a hill in his signature neon shorts—a true long-distance runner. A brief roadside chat confirmed our meeting, and we ventured up the winding road to his home. A spontaneous decision led us to an icy-cold pool, where we engaged in a pre-interview conversation, immersing ourselves both in water and dialogue.As we settled into his cozy home, Anthony's background emerged. Raised in a military family, he experienced a childhood punctuated by frequent moves, adapting to new locations every few years. Christian teachings were a part of his early life, yet he felt a deeper alignment with Buddhist principles than any formal religious doctrine.Anthony's life takes a remarkable trajectory—one marked by his pursuit of an unconventional lifestyle. He transformed one of his home's bedrooms into a dorm-like space, inviting individuals to stay for a modest fee while immersing themselves in training and learning. His financial structure relies on sponsorship funds to facilitate his training, and his lifestyle revolves around self-focused competition, except for those moments of sharing and teaching that balance his existence.Through Anthony's narrative, we gain insights into the unique perspective of a professional athlete—a life driven by passion and dedication. He shares the poignant story of a friend from his Denver training days, a friend with whom he shared a brotherhood of understanding. Yet, the demands of his own chosen path led to a disconnection, and tragically, his friend took his own life. Anthony reflects on the weight of carrying that news, acknowledging it during intense training sessions but deferring the emotional unpacking.Anthony describes his approach as "the artist's way." Engaging with him through The Jar offers a profound window into the inner workings and sacrifices of professional athletes. Anthony's commitment to his passion and his willingness to forego conventional comforts to chase his dreams provide a captivating narrative that underscores the beauty of unwavering dedication.Join us and The Jar as Anthony unveils his life's journey, exploring the highs, the sacrifices, and the art of the athlete's path. For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

We're living in a time of cultural transition. Individuals are openly expressing gender and sexuality with more freedom than before.

In this episode of "Coping," Kevin and Kathy delve into the concept of labeling emotions productively and destructively in the context of grief. They introduce a helpful tool, the Feelings Wheel, to aid in identifying and expressing emotions, which can help you to explore and acknowledge feelings related to grief. Kathy: Welcome back for another episode of “Coping”. Kevin: Last episode, we talked about ways we can begin to get our grief out, and we talked about the method of linking, linking our losses and the way that our brain naturally does that. Kathy: Yes, if you recall, we discussed the benefits of linking as well as externalizing our inward grief. And in this episode, we're gonna talk about another way we can begin to get the grief out. Kevin: Recently, we purchased a gift for our daughter and that gift is a label maker. She's become so preoccupied with this label maker, assigning all the different things in her room, especially her desk area, making sure everything in her room is neat and tidy, and she knows exactly where it is because of these labels that she's making. So in today's episode, we're gonna discuss this idea of labeling and see how it relates to our grief. Let's get started. Kathy: Yes, so when we were thinking about ideas for our daughter's birthday, she had come across a vintage label maker at her work, and then became very interested in an idea of having one herself. So that's what she's been doing since she's gotten it, making labels and labeling everything like around her room and all of that. Kevin: That's right. And you may be like our daughter obsessed with cleaning and organizing and even own a label maker yourself. I guess the question really is, "how does labeling relate to our grief?" Well, let's start with the definition of labeling. Kevin: Labeling is the simple act of noticing and naming something. I'll say that again. Labeling is the simple act of noticing and naming something. So for example, our daughter, she labels a bunch of things in her office. Like what? What do you see her labeling? Kathy: So she's labeling boxes and just items so that she knows what's in different things and then creating labels for all of us to put on our things as well. Kevin: Exactly. So the label maker is making it easy for her to know at a glance where something is. She knows what it is. She can notice it, name it and grab it right away. Kathy: Right, exactly. I have a question for you. Do you think labeling is always helpful? Kevin: You know, when it comes down to it, I think there's really two types of labeling. First, there's this productive labeling, which we'll call "naming", where you're naming something. This is pretty common in talk therapy where you're encouraged to name the emotions that you're having by noticing them and naming them and helps you get some. control back over those emotions perhaps, but there's also a destructive labeling and we'll call that "shaming." Kevin: So the biggest difference between naming and shaming is its effect on us and how we're using what we're labeling. So destructive labeling or shaming, Webster's dictionary says it's "assigning something to a category, especially inaccurately or restrictively." So this kind of labeling leads to prejudice and marginalization of entire groups of people, where we're using the labeling as a way to marginalize people. This is really like the root of racism, sexism, any anti-LGBTQIA views. It's really at its core, naming something or a people group as a way to shame and to "other" them. This shaming as it relates to grief is called grief shaming. Kevin: Grief shaming is the act of blaming, minimizing, or judging one's expression of grief. And this is pretty common in society. We've all heard this or experienced this in some way, but let's take some time to break it down a little bit. Kathy: I know we've all experienced some of these moments and phrases of grief shaming. Some of them sound like, "well, you weren't even married." "I thought you'd be over it by now." "Miscarriages happen all the time" and "you're still wearing your wedding ring." "Why are you so upset? You didn't even get along with your mom." Or simply grief shaming of silent treatment when a statement is made and there's dead silence. Kevin: What you can see from these phrases, not only does somebody who's grieving have the difficulty of the loss and the grief experience, they also have on top of that the negative experiences of others' negativity and comments or distance that can build their experience of shame and grief being harder than just the actual experience itself. Kathy: Right. Kevin: What I think it's also important to name here is that grief -shaming can also be initiated by us, that we shame ourself in the midst of our own grief, that we judge and blame and criticize ourselves for our experience of grief. Now, self -shaming is the act of blaming, minimizing, or judging one's self -expression of grief. So, you can take those same phrases that somebody's directing at you externally, and you can externalize those things and say things like, "why do I still feel this way?" "I just need to move on. We weren't even that close. Why am I sad that they're gone? Wait, am I sad enough?" Or "others had it way worse than me." My grief is nothing in comparison to what they've been through. Kevin: That type of labeling, it can be unproductive and really stunt your healing experience. You're placing this judgment and criticism on it, which really can stunt it and prevent it from being processed, as we've discussed in other episodes. Kathy: Yeah, both seem to be a cutoff, a cutting off of either you're being cut off by someone or you're cutting yourself off, not allowing yourself to process or have the feelings. You're not giving, there's no permission. Kevin: Yeah, it leads to unresolved grief symptoms in the body, in the mind, the heart, and the spirit. Kathy: Right. So when it comes to loss, what's the other side of this? What does productive labeling look like? Kevin: So one way we can productively label is by naming our feelings. Like I said before, naming feelings is something that we learn in therapeutic relationships where we're called to notice how we're feeling, how something made us feel, reflect on it, and name the emotion attached to it. Kevin: This term in psychology is referred to as affect labeling. In other words, putting feelings into words. Studies have shown that affect labeling reduces activity in our brain's amygdala. That's the part of the brain that has that fight or flight response. It really helps lessen the intensity of any experience, especially as it relates to grief. There's this one psychologist, Dr. Matthew Lieberman. He's a professor, but also an author of a book called, "Social: Why Our Brains Are Wired to Connect". Kevin: He says, “putting negative feelings into words can help regulate negative experiences. In other words, naming our feelings won't put the brakes on that emotion, but will help us get into the driver's seat of the experience.” I love that quote. So good. Kathy: It's very helpful. But I know as an introvert that I always have a hard time naming my feelings. So that all sounds excellent, but for most of us, I think that we don't know how to access that tool of naming our feelings. Do you have any tools or strategies? Kevin: Yeah, I think that's a good point. I think whether you're introverted and you're not really sure what you're feeling, because the emotions are so intense. For extroverts like I am, sometimes you're feeling so many different things you can't quite pin down one feeling. You feel like you're feeling all of the feelings all at once. And so in our workshops we have used a tool called a Feelings Wheel. It's been such a helpful tool for us in our own individual lives, but also in the times that we've taught on the Feelings Wheel to help you articulate the specific emotion that you're having and then describe for yourself how you're feeling, but then also use that language to connect with other people to name how you're feeling. Kathy: Yeah, this Feelings Wheel is fantastic. It really helps. You go from that -- you start in the center and it will give you some main feelings and then you can work your way outward to identify more specifically what you're feeling and it really helps to name what we're talking about today, the feelings. Kevin: Yeah, exactly. And we've found this to be so helpful in our workshops. We want it to be a resource for all of you. So we're gonna put a link in the notes of the podcast so that you can get to it pretty easily but you can also just Google Feelings Wheel and I hope that it can be as useful of a resource to you as it has been for us. Kathy: Yeah, that would be excellent. Kevin: Yeah. All right, so let me just give a summary of what we talked about so far: When we notice and name our feelings, we connect our head, our thinking selves with our heart, our feeling selves. And this language, the naming of our feelings, the productive labeling, gives us language that allows us to articulate our experience to ourselves, but also to others. But most importantly, it gives us language to affirm the experience that we're having. When we can see the words on the page that describe exactly how we're feeling, it can be a very affirming experience. Kathy: Thanks, Kevin. This is super helpful. So to end this episode, we wanted to give you some time right now to think through your feelings as related to your grief. So would you pause with me a moment? Take a few moments to pause. Kathy: And I want you to narrow in on one particular loss for this exercise. Which loss is most prominent for you right now? in your life. I want you to begin to think now how it makes you feel. Why is the loss so heavy for you? Does the loss make you feel sad, angry, fearful? Sit with your loss for a moment and think about the main feelings that arise for you. you It's okay to have more than one feeling as you think on this loss. Kathy: Finally, give yourself permission to sit with the loss and the feelings that come up for you. you. If you need extra support and help with this process, feel free to reach out to us at Be Well, and most of all know that you're not alone. Thanks so much for joining us for this conversation, and whatever you may be coping with today, blessings to you.

Renowned scholar and social worker, Matt Jackman, joins Rooted Recovery Stories Podcast with Patrick Custer this week to discuss their complex and victorious journey growing up in the Australian foster care system, processing gender dysphoria and sexuality while grappling with trauma and identity and becoming an international mental health advocate with their organization TACFLE (The Australian Centre for Lived Experience). Matt Jackman is a nonbinary queer person from Melbourne, Australia who opened the doors regarding mental health labeling and treatment.

Matt was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder but does not label themselves with those terms. Matt works to challenge the biological and medical model in mental health, speaking on topics about the monetization and the medical model seeking to blame individuals for their own diagnoses. Instead of labeling themselves as mentally ill. They travel the world as a consultant to The World Health Organization educating others on the overmedicalization of the LGBTQIA+ community and the need for social justice reform to address this issue. Matt identifies as mad, a powerful label and movement that represents empowerment and self-liberty to diagnosed individuals. We would love to hear from you!

Lyndsey sees clients from all different backgrounds, including those in the LGBTQIA+ community, those in ethical non-monogamous relationships, or anyone who is into kinky sex.

At school, Jake Fedorowski always felt they weren't the sort of person who played sport. Indeed, if you'd have told them they would end up running marathons, they would have laughed. But as a non-binary person, Jake's love of running grew after they discovered the Seattle Frontrunners, a running and walking club for the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies. These days they are both a committed runner and campaigner, championing inclusivity within the running community. One way of doing this was to create the Guide to Non-Binary Inclusion in Running, which they wrote after making the difficult decision to no longer register or participate in events that didn't affirm their gender identity. Jake then began partnering with race organisers, including the team behind the Chicago Marathon, to implement the solutions in the guide. They also founded Run Beyond (RUNN+), a community for non-binary athletes to connect, and are now the vice president of Seattle Frontrunners. Running Tales spoke to Jake about what being non-binary means, their own journey - both in terms of their gender and within the world of running - and how they believe the world of running needs to evolve...   ---------------------------------   Learn more about the organisations Jake is involved with at the links below: Seattle Frontrunners: https://www.seattlefrontrunners.org/ The Queer Running Society: https://www.queerrunningsociety.com/ Run Beyond: https://nonbinaryrunning.com/runbeyond To learn more about Jake's work and the movement toward non-binary inclusion, visit nonbinaryrunning.com  

Jaimee Michell is the founder and President of the non profit organization Gays Against Groomers. She is being joined by her fiancé and the organization's Executive Director Sasha Leigh. In a very short period of time, less than two years, Gays Against Groomers has become perhaps the most active national organization to fight back against the sexualization, educational indoctrination and gender medicalization of children that is being done in the name of LGBTQIA+.  Prior to founding the organization, Jaimee was an online personality with a quarter of million followers under the moniker the Gay Who Strayed. She has also worked in conservative media and as a digital media designer and consultant. For several years, Jaimee's partner Sasha has turned her attention to protecting children from being groomed into what has now become an institutionalized LGBTQIA ideology. Their website is GaysAgainstGroomers.com

At our Erev Rosh Hashanah service, Rabbi Steven shared a story of his own personal Moses — his uncle Bill, a family friend living with HIV who would not live to see the Promised Land of further gains in LGBTQIA+ rights, but who did leave a lasting impression on young Steven. What are the legacies we will leave behind? What Promised Lands are beyond our lifetimes which we can nonetheless fight for here and now for our children and our children's children?

Upon separating from Ari, the group enters the forest and begins to search for the witch. It is an old growth forest filled with energies that can be felt prickling along the skin. Lost in his thoughts regarding his erstwhile friend, Rou absentmindedly pushes forward. As they wander, nearly aimlessly, Trix takes the opportunity to try and get Garac and Eriluc to interact. They find success when they realize touching the gems together allows the pair to carry on a conversation with each other.  Eight, meanwhile, is focused on Ari's words and what that might mean for their future as Rou's friend. They spend their time pouting and moping, while Rou and Trix figure out what to do about the sword. Suddenly, the group stumbles upon a bubbling, black, oozing pit. Realizing it is large and deep, they decide to circumvent it rather than trudge through it. Eight, trailing behind, is soon ensnared as the ooze comes to life. Follow us on Twitter @RoadsUnchartedFollow Dax @GM_Dax, Kappa @TheKappaChris, Sebastian @sebastianyue and Wren @ThornyDryad Affiliates with Friday Afternoon Tea

Episode 141 Abundant on the internet are video clips of LGBTQIA persons in clerical positions saying and doing wildly outlandish and blasphemous things. In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, we examine one such man who claims that God is all things LGBTQIA. The implication, of course, is that the ideology is above reproach, and all of what we have understood God to be for centuries is now wrong, hateful, and unacceptable. Is that true? What does the Bible say about the nature of God and how we relate to Him? Join us as we dig into these questions and more.  Listen to the Removing Barriers Podcast here: Spotify: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Ega8YeI⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Apple Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Vga2SVd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Google Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/Rga25WD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://cutt.ly/mga8A77⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Podnews: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://podnews.net/podcast/i4jxo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ See all our platforms: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Contact us: Leave us a voice message: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://anchor.fm/removingbarriers/message⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Email us: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/contact⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Financially support the show: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/donate⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Affiliates: Book Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://bookshop.org/shop/removingbarriers⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Answers in Genesis Bookstore: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shrsl.com/2tu8i⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Design It Yourself Gift Baskets: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shrsl.com/2m64o⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Ivacy:  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shrsl.com/2jz3c⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Share a Sale: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://shrsl.com/2jz4f⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ See all our affiliates: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://removingbarriers.net/affiliates⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Notes: Video of audio played: https://twitter.com/D_B_Harrison/status/1628793230497304576 --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/removingbarriers/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/removingbarriers/support

We step into the world of our next guest, Blaine Bailey, right in the heart of downtown Durango, at a vibrant coworking space known as The Hive.Blaine's story begins in the quiet landscape of small-town Arkansas, where he spent his childhood with his sister and their engineer father. As he grew, his perspectives on spirituality took an agnostic turn. With two years of college under his belt, he set his sights on a ski bum's dream, an aspiration that led him to the mountains until an unfortunate shoulder injury put an end to that chapter.Returning to Arkansas, Blaine found his calling in culinary school, embracing the art of food and flavors. His journey eventually led him to Wisconsin, where he contributed to the management of a small restaurant, honing his skills and exploring his passion.A fateful call from a friend in Durango, Colorado, opened a new door for Blaine. What seemed like a gentle offer of work in a kitchen evolved into a pivotal moment—he was thrust into the bustling heart of the culinary world. As he navigated the pressures of the industry, he was not immune to its vices—late nights, substances, and stress.While the exhilaration of the culinary world was undeniable, Blaine felt a growing desire to step away. The turning point came with a tragedy—an encounter with the impact of addiction firsthand when a fellow chef succumbed to heroin in 2015. This heart-wrenching experience ignited Blaine's determination to channel his energy into something meaningful.Drawing from his own mental health journey, Blaine transformed his pain into purpose. He founded "Therapy for Chefs," a nonprofit dedicated to promoting mental health awareness within the food service industry. Today, Blaine is fully immersed in managing "In the Weeds," working to create a healthier environment for culinary professionals, where their well-being is valued as much as their craft.Blaine's story is a testament to the power of turning adversity into change, of taking one's own struggles and weaving them into a greater purpose. With The Jar as our guide, we embark on a journey alongside Blaine, exploring the highs, lows, and the transformative impact of pursuing one's calling. For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

Debate da Super Manhã: A ministra da Cultura, Margareth Menezes, esteve no Recife em 1º de setembro para lançar dois editais. A premiação Cultura Viva - Sérgio Mamberti e o Cultura Viva: Fomento a pontões de cultura. Os dois projetos somam investimentos de mais de R$ 61 milhões. As iniciativas buscam destacar a diversidade cultural brasileira (negros, mulheres, indígenas e pessoas LGBTQIA+) e a importância da política de base comunitária. Paralelo as ações do governo federal, frentes de trabalho são desenvolvidas nas áreas culturais das gestões públicas municipal e estadual para esse público. No debate desta sexta-feira (15), vamos conversar com os nossos convidados para saber detalhes desses dois editais e das ações culturais projetadas e realizadas pelo Governo de Pernambuco e pela Prefeitura do Recife. Participam a secretária de cidadania e Diversidade Cultural do Ministério da Cultura (MinC), Marcia Rollemberg, a coordenadora de Culturas Populares da Secretaria de Cultura do Governo do Estado de Pernambuco (Secult-PE), Wanessa Santos, e o presidente da Fundação de Cultura da Cidade do Recife (FCCR), Marcelo Canuto.

Our next guest, Miguel Medina, graciously welcomed us into his home nestled in the Santa Fe hills. As we settled into his garage, a space transformed into his sanctuary, we couldn't help but feel the powerful energy that emanates from this long-distance and obstacle runner. Miguel stands among a select few individuals on this planet who have pushed the limits of human endurance beyond 100 miles, defying the boundaries that most of us perceive as unattainable.Miguel's journey began in Torrance, California, where he was born into a family with diverse backgrounds. His father worked in TV production, and his parents' divorce led to a life marked by relocations between Mexico and California.About a decade ago, Miguel's path led him to Durango, a location that became his training ground and a hub for ultra-running athletes. During this time, he found love and companionship with his fiancée, who shares his home and his life's journey.Our conversation delved into the challenges of maintaining a deep passion for an art or sport while simultaneously nurturing a personal relationship. Miguel candidly shared the sacrifices that often accompany such dedication and the delicate balance required to harmonize these facets of life.One of the intriguing aspects Miguel discussed was how his ADHD, often considered a challenge, becomes an asset during training. The hyper-focus that accompanies his condition allows him to immerse himself completely, achieving a state of meditation that excludes all external distractions, even his own sense of self, during his grueling 24-hour runs.Miguel's journey also encountered a significant hurdle during his time as a student at UCLA, when he temporarily lost feeling in his legs and found himself on crutches and even a wheelchair. This unexpected twist, however, didn't deter him from pursuing his passion and rising to his remarkable accomplishments.Beyond his role as a professional athlete, Miguel also works as a medical interpreter, a career he deeply values. Helping people navigate challenging medical situations resonates with him, and he believes it's his calling to be a compassionate guide for those in need.Join us as we delve into Miguel's life, exploring the dedication, passion, and sacrifices that drive a professional athlete, and yet, at the same time, embrace the beauty and regularity of living a balanced life. For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.

Tap into the enchanting world of Durango, nestled within the embrace of a canyon near Alpine Rose, where we meet our next guest, Susan Bennett, in her uniquely charming Airstream Tucktaway. Susan's life journey unfolds against the backdrop of her upbringing in Indiana, a picturesque scene from the 70s that featured the idyllic American life—walks to school, the comfort of a stay-at-home mom, and her dad serving as a state trooper.Susan's father, a remarkable self-starter, transformed his lack of a college education into an inspiring journey through law school. This led the family to transition from their small starter home to a more expansive countryside abode, a testament to the rewards of hard work and determination.Years passed, and Susan's path led her to stay in Indianapolis, where she got married and became a mother to five daughters. However, when her youngest daughter turned five, Susan had a pivotal moment. She confronted her husband, expressing her inability to continue living in their current circumstances. In response, he agreed and walked away from their lives. Other than one brief visit several months later, he vanished from their world.With unwavering strength, Susan embraced her role as a single mother and raised her five daughters, demonstrating incredible resilience and determination. As time passed, her daughters dispersed across the country, creating their own paths.Recently, Susan embarked on a new chapter. She sold her possessions, her home, and embarked on a journey to follow her children, uprooting her life to be near them. Embracing a sense of trust and surrender, she humorously and earnestly shares that she has surrendered her life to God, allowing Him to guide her where and when she should go.Living a life unburdened by possessions and routines, Susan's story is one of freedom, following the natural rhythm of life's ebbs and flows, and maintaining a deep connection with her children. Join us as we sit down with Susan, enveloped by the allure of her Airstream Tucktaway, and journey through her remarkable life story on The Jar. For more of The Jar, visit:Website: https://www.thejar.live/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaTqB1dhDvl0Oh505ysdxTgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcast.thejarInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejar_podcast/Disclaimer: The views stated in this episode are our guest's opinions and do not represent the views, beliefs or opinions of The Jar Podcast.
