Podcasts about Liesl

Happy Monday, podcast fam! Today on the Leisl, Liam & Spida podcast, we kick off the week with big laughs, real talk, and a very special guest. Producer Joolz ask the ultimate hypothetical: If you could swap jobs with anyone for a day, who would it be? From astronauts to Taylor Swift and even Prince William on a bender (yes, really), the team shares their answers. Plus, we get heartfelt as Spida opens up about a major change in his family that brought him closer to his dad - it’s raw, emotional, and incredibly powerful. And in Winning or Whinging, Liam declares he's too old to crash at his mate’s place and a listener calls in to break the news of Liesl’s Tamagotchi's tragic demise. And finally, Leader of the Opposition Peter Dutton joins us live to talk about housing affordability and his new policy proposals for first home buyers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are going from dark to darker (and not just because we are underground!), and it only gets worse from here, so let your heartstrings be tugged on as we get through this ordeal the only way we know how!

Our guest today has written a book that my co-founder and daughter - Liesl - read and upon closing the book she exclaimed, “This will become our family bible about how we care about the land and each other.

If you don't build trust with your customers, you'll never close a deal—there's no way around it! You've already heard how companies can build customer trust, but how can an individual seller do this? Join me and my guest, Liesl Nel, in this live coaching session as we share strategies to help your prospects feel safe and confident in doing business with you.   Meet Liesl Nel  Liesl Nel is a seasoned sales professional in the yachting industry, specializing in working with charter agencies, particularly in the Mediterranean region.  Her expertise lies in navigating the complexities of B2B sales and addressing the unique challenges within this niche market.   Building Open Relationships Liesl emphasizes the importance of maintaining open and frequent communication with agencies.  This helps address challenges proactively and assures agencies that customer data will enhance rather than compromise the customer experience. She also shares how face-to-face interactions are better for building trust instead of email marketing.  Storytelling and Customer Reviews  Using stories and customer reviews to demonstrate repeat business and successful partnerships can significantly build trust.  Liesl suggests leveraging third-party success stories to reassure new prospects. Authenticity and Honesty Liesl advises sales leaders to coach their teams on being authentic and transparent. Acknowledging and addressing problems openly fosters a collaborative and trustworthy environment. "I always tell my sales agents to be authentic. Don't hide any problems. If we're having a problem, admit to our B2B customers we're having this problem. We're going to solve it for you. We're going to work together on it versus there is no problem. Be open, honest, and vulnerable. People understand that things do go wrong, but we are going to fix it and we want to continue our relationship." - Liesl Nel.  Resources Liesl Nel on LinkedIn Moorings.com  Sunsail.com  Sponsorship Offers This episode is brought to you in part by Hubspot.

Gia and Keisha are not always sharp. This is not new information. Today's episode is a bit of a montage drifting between superficial observations regarding outfits and hair, and superficial observations about characters who get too much airtime (Ric, Drew, Ric) and characters who get none (Liesl--where the hell is Liesl?! Brad, Terry). Also Gia mourns the end of watermelon season, and Keisha wonders if there are real-life mobsters who would be fun to have lunch with. #mauricebenard  #kellythiebaud #rogerhowarth #maurawest #steveburton #delirious #tshirtgiveaway #barshampoo #daydrinkingwithsethmeyers #hillstreetblues #kinshriner #saveava #nicholaschavez #savediane #afterlife #rickygervais #stonewallkitchen #hallandoates #superstore #freaksandgeeks #waitingonafriend #memyselfi #freefallin #alanarkin #whosgonnarideyourwildhorses #maneater #whippingpost #colonoscopy #takethenap #alleymills #billylibby #chickadee #fortgorgeous #robertgossett #daydrinkingwithsethandlizzo #marcuscoloma #useastaplegun #riptwitch #ripepiphany #ripsonyaeddy  #waywardchickadee #barshampoo #ripmiffy #lovedogs #justinebateman #brookeshields #neilgaiman #dnice #cq #deborahcox #malcolmjamalwarner #lume #godzillaminusone #ripjacklynzeman #jasonmomoa #adambelanoff #thecloser #majorcrimes #wings #murphybrown #thecosbyshow #pinkalicious #ripbillymiller #ripmatthewperry #riptylerchristopher #ripandrebraugher #ripjohnnywactor

Stephen Rowley, Ph.D., is a psychotherapist practicing on Bainbridge Island,Washington. He is an adoptee and the father of an adopted son. Born in 1949 to anunwed mother, he was adopted at six months and enjoyed the benefits of growing up in a loving and affluent home. At age 13 he became deeply curious about his parentage. Not until college did he have the means to begin a lifelong quest to find his birth mother and his true identity. After years of investigation, he finally found his birth mother living in tragic circumstances. However, their poignant reunion vastly exceeded their expectations of finding each other when their souls finally reunited. As told through his memoir, Rowley traces the inner life of an adoptee, not simply the external narrative of his lifelong search.The Lost Coin: A Memoir of Adoption and Destiny (Chiron Publications, Sept. 2023).

In this episode, we welcome Dr. Liesl Bigge, a veterinarian and graduate of The Ohio State University, for an insightful discussion. Dr. Bigge, who co-owns Cleveland Associated Veterinary Specialists and serves as an internal medicine consultant, shares her expertise on various veterinary topics. We begin by exploring **megaesophagus**, a condition where the esophagus remains abnormally enlarged and lacks the necessary peristaltic motion to move food into the stomach. Dr. Bigge explains the challenges of diagnosing and managing this frustrating condition, which often leads to aspiration pneumonia. She describes dietary adjustments and positional feeding techniques, such as using a Bailey chair, to help manage the disease. Next, the conversation shifts to **idiopathic vestibular syndrome**, often seen in older dogs. This condition affects the balance system and manifests as dizziness, head tilting, and sometimes nystagmus. While its exact cause is unknown, supportive care and anti-nausea medications like meclizine can help manage the symptoms. Dr. Bigge contrasts central (brain-related) vestibular problems with peripheral issues, which typically resolve over time. Dr. Bigge shares an impactful story about a terrier diagnosed with an abdominal mass, emphasizing the importance of timely medical intervention. Additionally, she recounts a case from her internship involving a dog with severe vestibular disease, highlighting the innovative feeding techniques used to manage the condition. Lastly, Dr. Bigge discusses the crucial role of collaboration among pet owners, veterinarians, and veterinary specialists. She mentions support networks, such as Facebook groups for pet owners dealing with specific conditions like megaesophagus, which provide valuable resources and community support. Key Points: - **Megaesophagus**: A condition characterized by an enlarged esophagus that struggles to move food to the stomach. It requires careful management through dietary consistency and positional feeding. - **Idiopathic Vestibular Syndrome**: A balance disorder in older dogs that usually improves with supportive care and time. - **Diagnostic Techniques**: Importance of distinguishing symptoms and using video evidence for accurate diagnosis. - **Treatment and Management**: Utilizing specialized feeding chairs for megaesophagus and anti-nausea medications for vestibular syndrome. - **Collaborative Care**: The role of support networks and timely medical intervention in managing veterinary conditions. Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of these challenging veterinary conditions and learn practical tips from Dr. Bigge's extensive experience.

Christina Thanstrom is a baby Scoop-era adoptee born in Los Angeles in 1966. A loving couple adopted her in 1967 through LA County and she had a mostly idyllic childhood with a younger brother (also adopted) in the San Fernando Valley.Christina was reunited with her birth mother, Arleen, an R.N., at age 19 while in college (the same age Arleen had given birth to Christina). Christina learned that whenArleen's parents discovered her pregnancy, they threw her high school graduation photo against the wall and called her a “whore.” She then went to a “home forunwed mothers” where she gave birth to Christina.Reunion was fraught with unspoken emotions and unaddressed traumas on both sides. Sadly, Arleen died at 52. 23&Me introduced Christina to her bio-father's family, who have opened their arms and hearts to her.Christina and her hubby David are proud parents of adult children, Sophia and Harrison. Christina is a devoted rescue pup mom and fierce animal rescue advocate. She hopes that we overcome and eliminate the shame and the secrecy surrounding adoption on all sides of the triangle.To skip ahead to the interview go to timestamp: 18:37Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, by Gretchen SissonRESOURCES for AdopteesS12F Helping AdopteesGregory Luce and Adoptees Rights LawJoe Soll & other adoptee resourcesFireside Adoptees Facebook GroupReckoning with the Primal Wound DocumentaryHiraeth Hope & HealingMoses FarrowNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1-800-273-8255 OR Dial or Text 988.NAMI Hotline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or email them at info@nami.orgAdoptee Therapist DirectoryIf you want to support our show, visit our Patreon Page.Thank you to our Patreons!

Mark Diebel has been married for almost 46 years and has two sons and two grandchildren. He has been serving as an Episcopal priest in parish ministry for thirty-six years. He was reunited with his birth mother, a second-generation Japanese immigrant, in 2004 when he was 49. A year later he learned that his natural father, a Cuban doctor, was killed in a bizarre accident in Matanzas Cuba in 1970. Over the years, he has learned about both of his first parents and visited their homes in Hawaii and Cuba. As an Episcopal priest, he advocated for adoptees and donor-conceived persons to have access to their personal information and their right to know their origins and their parentage. In May 2012, he wrote an essay, Human Nature and Truthfulness in Adoption and Donor Conception Practice, for the Journal for Christian Legal Thought. He explores the relationship between Christian theology and contemporary adoption practices. He talks about his adoption experience, adoption practices in general, race, and identity in sermons. Mark is currently working with The Episcopal Church as it begins to examine its complicity in the practice of forced adoptions during the Baby Scoop Era. He is retired and living close to his grandchildren in Owensboro, Kentucky.To skip ahead to the interview go to timestamp: 9:03Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, by Gretchen SissonRESOURCES for AdopteesS12F Helping AdopteesGregory Luce and Adoptees Rights LawJoe Soll & other adoptee resourcesFireside Adoptees Facebook GroupReckoning with the Primal Wound DocumentaryHiraeth Hope & HealingMoses FarrowNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1-800-273-8255 OR Dial or Text 988.NAMI Hotline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or email them at info@nami.orgAdoptee Therapist DirectoryIf you want to support our show, visit our Patreon Page.Thank you to our Patreons!

Cary is a baby scoop-era adoptee who was born in a Florence Crittenton Home in Atlantic City NJ in 1964. Her first mother was 19 years old and was forced to relinquish her baby like many young mothers of those times. Cary had a great upbringing in a family that loved her and never made her feel othered. In her early 30s she reunited with her birth mother and then her birth father. The reunions went well for the most part, but some family members that started out enthusiastic soon became clearly uninterested in staying connected.Even in the best situations, adoption is incredibly complex. In recent years after the death of her older, adopted, sister, Cary has been better understanding just how complex it can be. Her relationship with her sister was great—as long as she was a child. It became more complicated and difficult as adult years went by. Losing her sister, and therefore her best connection to the parents who raised her and whom she loved dearly, has brought up a lot of adoption-related issues that she hadn't really tuned into before.What she would like people to understand most is that an adoptee can be both happy with who they grew up with, how they were raised, and the life they've had, while also feeling sad and having complicated feelings about the loss they started life with, and the impact adoption has had on them.To skip ahead to the interview go to timestamp: 13:01Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, by Gretchen SissonRESOURCES for AdopteesS12F Helping AdopteesGregory Luce and Adoptees Rights LawJoe Soll & other adoptee resourcesFireside Adoptees Facebook GroupReckoning with the Primal Wound DocumentaryHiraeth Hope & HealingMoses FarrowNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1-800-273-8255 OR Dial or Text 988.NAMI Hotline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or email them at info@nami.orgAdoptee Therapist DirectoryIf you want to support our show, visit our Patreon Page.Thank you to our Patreons!

Blockchains, as we know them today, are imperative. This means, we interact with every application needed to achieve a certain outcome onchain…we care about the process in achieving a specified end result. The intent-centric future aims to flip this model on its head and usher in a different way of building and interacting with decentralized systems. At the heart of this shift is the evolution from imperative to declarative programming in blockchain environments. This transition moves us away from specifying every step of a transaction (the 'how'), focusing instead on the desired outcomes (the 'what'). By embracing a declarative approach, blockchain technology becomes more intuitive and user-friendly, aligning more closely with the natural flow of human thought and reducing the complexity traditionally associated with onchain interactions. In today's video, Robbie sits down with Simon and Liesl to discuss Essential, the first declarative blockchain. Key to their design is a concept previously mentioned called 'intents'—declarations of what users want to achieve, without detailing the ‘how'. They further explore the presence of solver networks in Essential, the architectural backbone of declarative blockchains, and how a novel system of constraints and rules governs blockchain state updates. Join us as we explore how declarative blockchains are setting the stage for a more efficient, secure, and user-centric future.

Ellen is a baby scoop-era New York State adoptee. She was adopted by a loving Greek American couple through a closed private adoption and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area with a younger adopted brother.Ellen always wanted to find her original family and searched off and on starting in the early 90s but kept hitting roadblocks. Her adoptive parents were not supportive of her search so she had very little information to go on. Then a friend had her rescue dog's DNA tested which changed everything for the better.To skip ahead to the interview go to timestamp: 16:13Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, by Gretchen SissonRESOURCES for AdopteesS12F Helping AdopteesGregory Luce and Adoptees Rights LawJoe Soll & other adoptee resourcesFireside Adoptees Facebook GroupReckoning with the Primal Wound DocumentaryHiraeth Hope & HealingMoses FarrowNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1-800-273-8255 OR Dial or Text 988.NAMI Hotline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or email them at info@nami.orgAdoptee Therapist DirectoryIf you want to support our show, visit our Patreon Page.Thank you to our Patreons!

Simone Pajo was born in Auckland New Zealand in 1968, the baby scoop era.  She was the middle child between two bio children and was adopted after the death of the middle bio daughter.  She grew up knowing her adoption was the result of a baby's death and this greatly affected the way she saw the world and her place in it.  It has taken decades for Simone to form a coherent worldview where her right to her identity does not depend on the needs of others.She has lived in the UK for over 30 years and is a law graduate and former journalist.To skip ahead to the interview go to timestamp: 13:53Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, by Gretchen SissonRESOURCES for AdopteesS12F Helping AdopteesGregory Luce and Adoptees Rights LawJoe Soll & other adoptee resourcesFireside Adoptees Facebook GroupReckoning with the Primal Wound DocumentaryHiraeth Hope & HealingMoses FarrowNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1-800-273-8255 OR Dial or Text 988.NAMI Hotline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or email them at info@nami.orgIf you want to support our show, visit our Patreon Page.Thank you to our Patreons!

Jessica is a 1970 baby scoop-era adoptee, who started discovering her roots at age 50. After more than 80 years of closed records in NYS, she was able to obtain her original birth certificate in 2020. Two DNA tests and one secret after another uncovered a history of relinquishment, trauma, and family ties nearby of where she resides in upstate New York. At 54, Jessica is learning to live her truth on her terms and allowing herself to heal from the lifelong effects of being adopted. A retired art teacher, she is running a thriving business and enjoying her life with her amazing sons and husband, all while continuing to uncover more pieces of her genetic puzzle. To skip ahead to the interview go to timestamp: 12:06Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, by Gretchen SissonRESOURCES for AdopteesS12F Helping AdopteesGregory Luce and Adoptees Rights LawJoe Soll & other adoptee resourcesFireside Adoptees Facebook GroupReckoning with the Primal Wound DocumentaryHiraeth Hope & HealingMoses FarrowNational Suicide Prevention Lifeline – 1-800-273-8255 OR Dial or Text 988.NAMI Hotline at 1-800-950-NAMI (6264) or email them at info@nami.orgIf you want to support our show, visit our Patreon Page.Thank you to our Patreons!

So Lucy. It's been established that a little Lucy goes a long way. A lot of Lucy makes us want to die. So why? Why are we being tortured? Maybe it's best just to put the whole Home & Heart ugliness behind us. Gia would rather talk about horses anyway. And saddles. And girth (?!). Speaking of ugliness, what is Ava up to? Nina is already a bit of a trainwreck, so why is Ava piling on? Wouldn't it be smarter to watch from a safe distance, like a barstool at the Metro Court? Between Nina and Sonny, Ava is playing a dangerous game! Is Lucy playing a game too? As long as Maxie comes out of it unscathed, go ahead and have your fun, Lucy. Also, would it be possible to give Scotty a little more camera time? And maybe bring back Liesl while we're at it? That would be delightful.

Chris Valdheims is a domestic adoptee born in the late 1970s and adopted in the early 1980s after spending years of his early childhood in foster care. Growing up, he knew very little about his birth family other than his mother and father had met while she worked as a librarian at MIT. He also knew his father was Black, and his mother had immigrated to the United States from Latvia. He spent years searching for answers about his family of origin, and in 2009, he stumbled upon a complex story that involved his grandfather, a then-unknown geometric artist named Zanis Waldheims. Following the trail from there, he began to unravel the mystery of his family history and, in the process, learn more about himself and where he had come from. His journey took him to Canada, Germany, Latvia, and Lithuania for answers, and he shares the story in a recently completed memoir for which he is currently seeking the right publishing partner. Along the way, he discovered that his father may have been one of the astronauts killed in the 1986 Challenger Space Shuttle disaster.He resides in Los Angeles with his wife and two sons and is the founder of a well-known law firm, Counsel for Creators.Chris Valdheims on Instagram.To skip ahead to the interview go to timestamp: 18:29Relinquished: The Politics of Adoption and the Privilege of American Motherhood, by Gretchen SissonS12F Helping AdopteesGregory Luce and Adoptees Rights LawJoe Soll & other adoptee resourcesFireside Adoptees Facebook GroupReckoning with the Primal Wound DocumentaryIf you want to support our show, visit our Patreon Page.Thank you to our Patreons!

We hear from two writers today who suffer from some pretty common obstacles when it comes to what holds them back from their writing. The first talks about her submission anxiety, a fear of both failure and success. The second wonders how she can write character-driven prose instead of plot-driven prose that pushes her characters into unlikely scenarios.
