In this episode, we sit down with Sue Stewart, a 36-year survivor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the founder of BMT InfoNet. Sue walks us through her transplant journey, beginning with a difficult diagnosis in the late 1980s and the grueling induction chemotherapy that followed. With limited treatment options, she opted for an autologous bone marrow transplant—a relatively new and uncertain procedure at the time. Despite the intense side effects, including confusion and delusions, Sue recovered and slowly rebuilt her life. Her story is one of strength and long-term resilience, shaped by medical challenges and a determination to help others facing similar paths.After surviving her transplant, Sue felt driven to understand her experience and quickly saw the gap in patient-centered information. A high-profile court case involving bone marrow donation misinformation pushed her to act. In response, she started a small newsletter to provide reliable, understandable transplant information. What began with 700 names (pre-Internet) grew rapidly and became BMT InfoNet, an organization that now supports over 20,000 people weekly with resources, educational content, and peer support.We explore how GVHD care has transformed over the decades. Sue outlines progress in diagnostics, treatment options, and the move away from long-term steroid reliance. Her organization has helped shift the focus beyond survival to long-term quality of life, leading to the creation of survivorship clinics and a deeper understanding of transplant-related complications.Sue introduces us to BMT InfoNet's key programs, including Caring Connections, which matches patients and caregivers with peers based on similar experiences. We also learn about their online, professionally moderated support groups, offered to different patient communities. These groups have been instrumental in helping individuals process their experiences and stay connected.The organization's educational materials and annual survivorship symposium continue to empower patients to become active members of their care teams. Sue emphasizes the importance of recognizing symptoms early, understanding treatment options, and advocating for proper care—especially for GVHD, which many local doctors may not fully understand.Finally, Sue shares the story of how one patient's experience with ocular GVHD and scleral lenses led to a wider medical breakthrough. It's a powerful reminder of how patients can change the landscape of care by sharing their stories. BMT InfoNet's mission remains clear: provide support, share knowledge, and give voice to those on the transplant journey.BMT InfoNet: https://www.bmtinfonet.orgContact Email: help@bmtinfonet.orgThanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:40 - Introduction to Sue Stewart01:15 - Sue's AML Diagnosis and Transplant Story06:33 - Founding BMT InfoNet10:05 - Life Before the Internet: Lack of Resources12:43 - Progress in GVHD Treatment15:25 - Peer Support Through Caring Connections17:16 - Online Moderated Support Groups18:58 - Educational Resources on GVHD21:57 - GVHD Specialist Directory24:05 - Annual Survivorship Symposium26:17 - Financial Assistance for Patients27:39 - GVHD Wall of Hope and National GVHD Day30:01 - Final Story: How Patient Experience Changed GVHD Care National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

But when Cuba refused to take him back, Yosvani was released—left in legal limbo, unable to fully move forward with his life. #ImmigrationPrison #DetentionCenter #PrivatePrison #ImmigrationDetention #ICEDetention #PrisonStory #HumanRights #TheSystemExposed Connect with Yogi: Youtube: https://youtube.com/@havefaithshowlovegivehope?si=Lu9ppGiP9lYjxGLk Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YogiGacita?mibextid=ZbWKwL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/yosvanigacita/profilecard/?igsh=MWN3b2RybW95bmMyZA== Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ Presented by Tyson 2.0 & Wooooo Energy: https://tyson20.com/ https://woooooenergy.com/ Buy Merch: https://convictclothing.net/collections/convict-clothing-x-ian-bick Timestamps: 00:00:00 Introduction and Podcast Promotion 00:05:01 Escaping Cuba: A Personal Journey 00:10:07 Heroin Indictment and Legal Consequences 00:15:16 Life in Immigration Prisons: Personal Experience and Insights 00:20:11 Prison Life and Inmate Hierarchy 00:25:10 Dangers of Returning to the Dominican Republic 00:30:13 Prison Life: Social Dynamics and Routines 00:35:00 Life Before and After Prison 00:39:41 Leadership Dynamics Among Cuban Prisoners 00:44:36 Prison Respect and Culture 00:49:20 Immigration Visitation Concerns 00:54:30 Life Inside County Jail and Deportation Process 00:59:27 Immigration Detention and Release Process 01:04:24 From Podcasts to Fitness Motivation 01:09:37 Building Bridges Through Faith and Conversation 01:14:50 Navigating Immigration Challenges in the U.S. 01:19:53 Reflections on Citizenship and Politics Powered by: Just Media House : https://www.justmediahouse.com/ Creative direction, design, assets, support by FWRD: https://www.fwrd.co Learn more about your ad choices.

In Rising Voices of  El Cerrito's Young Poets, a Message About Resilience As our series about Californians and resilience continues, we hear from El Cerrito's poet laureate, Tess Taylor, and students at Harding Elementary School. They wrote about what resilience means to them for a recently published anthology called “Gardening in the Public Flowerfest.” For One Vietnamese Family in LA, This Broth Is Rich With Memories of Life Before and After War  Last month marked the 50th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War. Hong Pham was only 6 years old when his family was separated as they fled Vietnam. When they were reunited in a refugee camp in Thailand, they celebrated with a special dish. For our series on resilience, KQED's Daisy Nguyen visited Pham at his home in South Pasadena where he shared memories of his family's journey, and the recipe for the dish that gave them hope. How Poetry Helps Dementia Caregivers Find Shelter from the Storm Frances Kakugawa is a firm believer that the act of caring for another human being can inspire poetry. She knows this from experience, having cared for her mother, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in the 1990s. She says poetry was a way to take control of her mom's disease and transform the challenging and sometimes lonely experience of caregiving into something positive. For some 20 years, she's been helping other caregivers in Sacramento to find resilience through poetry. Reporter Holly J. McDede brings us this story.  Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the  Swell Season Surf Podcast we meet Alistair Thompson, the author of 'A Surfer's Guide to Enlightenment', a beautiful and reflective book that blends surfing, spirituality, and self-discovery. It's part memoir, part philosophy, and full of lessons drawn straight from the ocean. Alistair shares his journey from a life of 'monotonous discomfort' to one enriched by surfing, discussing themes of fear, ego, love, forgiveness, and faith. In his book, he explores everything from fear and ego to love, forgiveness, and faith—all through the lens of the sea. Whether you're a surfer or not, this conversation is about what it means to start, to fall, to get back up, and to find your wave—whatever that might be. It's an ode to those seeking self-discovery and meaning in their lives.

We often say that the road to a successful opera career can be a winding one—and we've got the receipts to prove it! Join Key Change co-hosts Anna Garcia and Olga Perez Flora as they discuss career trajectories, academic journeys, and artistic life with two legendary performers and educators: Kristin Ditlow, Associate Professor of Vocal Coaching and Opera Conductor at the University Of New Mexico, and James Flora*, acclaimed American tenor and Lecturer in Voice and Opera, also at UNM. Our conversation sets the stage for an exciting collaboration between Santa Fe Opera and UNM. “The position that I have (at UNM) has evolved with me,” says Kristin, who has worked around the world as a conductor and a pianist. “That's a testament to a healthy place that's willing to grow along with its faculty and allow them to grow in a position.” It's also a verdant artistic environment where raw talent is refined, and practice leads to proficiency.   Jamie hopes that the next generation of opera professionals will bring the art form's epic storytelling and staging to a broader audience. “I'd love for opera to step away a little bit from exclusivity,” he says, reflecting on how the perceived cliquishness couldn't be farther from the true experience of a live opera. “A lot of people who grew up in small towns like I did didn't understand the opera was for them,” he says, adding, “Opera's for everyone!” *That surname is no coincidence. Jamie also holds the title of spouse to our very own Olga.

The hardest chapters of your life often become the clearest mirror of your values. When Rabbi Jonathan Cohen woke up one Shabbat (Saturday) morning unable to move, he had no idea he was facing a life-altering medical emergency. What followed - emergency brain surgery, a cancer diagnosis, and a whirlwind of hospital visits - could have broken his spirit. Instead, it clarified his purpose. In this raw and deeply human conversation, Jonathan - affectionately known as "JoCo" - shares how he continues to show up with purpose during hard times, for his family, his community, and himself, even in the midst of fear, fatigue, and the unknown. With humor, wisdom, and an unmistakable warmth, he invites us to rethink what it means to live meaningfully when life turns upside down. This isn't just a story about illness. It's a story about resilience, presence, and the power of showing up with purpose, even when everything else falls away. In this conversation about showing up with purpose during hard times, you'll hear: The Shabbat (Saturday) morning that changed everything for Jonathan How he stayed grounded in his values through a health crisis and what helps him through the hard times What it meant for him to suddenly be a patient What makes a visit meaningful when someone is seriously ill Caring for others and visiting communities affected by October 7, even as he confronts his own health challenges Jonathan's reflections on vulnerability, community, and setting boundaries And many more insights   TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Introduction to Jonathan Cohen's Journey 01:37 – Life Before the Cancer Diagnosis 07:27 – The Morning Everything Changed 13:59 – Emergency Brain Surgery and Hospitalization 21:03 – Adjusting to Life as a Patient 26:50 – Support from Family and Friends 32:09 – Navigating Visits and Staying Positive 36:12 – What Makes a Visit Truly Meaningful 40:10 – Balancing Illness with Family Life 40:57 – Creative Ways Visitors Made an Impact 42:44 – Community Engagement as a Healing Practice 45:44 – The Therapeutic Power of Getting Outside 47:37 – Supporting Others Through Small Gestures 50:28 – Seeing Life Differently Through Illness 55:42 – Fighting vs. Managing Illness 59:33 – Finding Strength Through Support and Positivity 01:02:44 – Final Reflections and Life Lessons   ABOUT THE GUEST Rabbi Jonathan Cohen (affectionately known as "JoCo") is a dynamic force of inspiration within the Jewish community. He works with Yeshiva University (YU) recruiting gap-year students to continue their education at YU, while also serving with NCSY (a division of the Orthodox Union) to help young couples find their place in Jewish communities across the United States. Beyond his professional roles, Rabbi Cohen is renowned for his exceptionally warm and open home, where he and his family have hosted countless students for Shabbos and Yom Tov meals. Recently diagnosed with cancer, Rabbi Cohen faces this challenge with remarkable resilience and positivity. Despite undergoing intensive treatment, he remains steadfast in his mission to serve others. He continues to travel across Israel, leading impactful trips and providing support to communities affected by the events of October 7th, turning his personal struggle into an opportunity to spread kindness and connection to those in need.

They were thinking about ‘what can we do to put a smile on your face?'” - Jonathan Cohen “Communication is still a hard thing in the generation that we live.” - Jonathan Cohen ABOUT THE HOST Uri Schneider, M.A. CCC -SLP is co-founder and leader at Schneider Speech; creator and host of Transcending Stuttering; and former faculty at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine.

What do disco naps, pantsuits, and chili preferences have to do with life at the opera? If you're new to the art form in general and Key Change specifically, welcome! And don't worry, all will be revealed. To our returning fans, a hearty welcome back! We're excited to share another season and a fresh focus with you. Back to that opening inquiry... “I was thinking it would be really great if we did a lightning round together where we got to know a little bit more about each other and about what's coming up this season,” explains Olga, making her official debut as Key Change co-host, alongside three-season veteran Anna Garcia. Their answers reveal a lesser-known fact about opera: it's more approachable and playful than newcomers might think.  This season, we're pulling back the curtain further on accessibility via Santa Fe Opera's brand new partnership with the University of New Mexico Department of Music. But we haven't abandoned new works or the original mission of Opera For All Voices (the initiative that launched this podcast). Instead, Key Change is momentarily adjusting its spotlight to focus on the development and evolution of new voices. “I've loved learning about the process of the artists, teams, our community members, our teaching artists, and administrative staff,” says Anna of this season. “Everybody has their origin story, and I think our audience really wants to hear that aspect. It's kind of like the backstage of opera.” Change is key, as we like to say. We're glad you're along for the ride.  “CATCHING UP ON KEY CHANGE” RECOMMENDED PLAYLIST Season 1 Episode 1: Setting the Stage: New beginnings, heightened expectations, the heart of opera, and the Santa Fe of it Episode 5: Other Duties As Assigned: The role of education & community outreach in opera companies  Season 4 Episode 6: A Day in the Life Before a World Premiere Episode 7: Telling Hard Truths Episode 8: Hometown to the World Debuts on Broadway Season 5 Episode 3: Harmony in Process: The Young Voices of the Santa Fe Opera with Amy "Process" Owens  Episode 8: An Opportunity to Encounter Excellence (and Big News!)  *** Key Change is a production of The Santa Fe Opera, Department of Community Engagement & Education.

Spiritual Transformation & Light Language Activation In this captivating episode, Ken Lloyd shares his journey of integrating 22 soul aspects, his work in the 'Library of Creation,' and how his unique abilities facilitate healing. Ken is a spiritual guide who experienced a profound transformation after a near-death experience (NDE). The conversation explores the nature of walk-ins and the changes Ken underwent, leading to his powerful healing gifts. Ken talks about his brain tumor prior to his spiritual awakening, and how his extreme stress led to his NDE and spiritual awakening. The episode concludes with a light language activation by Ken, designed to activate you as you engage with it. He also explains its cleansing effects and how it can deepen your spiritual empowerment. Bio: Ken is a spiritual guide and healer who, after a profound Near-Death Experience, integrated 22 soul aspects from his higher self and oversoul collective, into his physical being. This union allows him to channel higher frequencies and transmit powerful ascension and healing codes to humanity, using light language that is conveyed from his collective.     Ken contains a 580-foot omnidirectional healing field that catalyzes individuals who enter it, accelerating their healing and spiritual growth. This energy field promotes profound transformation, helping people release energetic blockages, balance their energy fields and activate their higher consciousness.   As a prototype of the new human, the cellular structure of Ken's body has been enhanced to enable him to hold this transformative frequency that has the power to deeply impact individuals, catalyzing profound changes in their spiritual, emotional, and physical well-being.   Ken specializes in removing energetic blockages and unlocking dormant DNA blueprints, accelerating spiritual growth and facilitating the awakening of individuals' unique gifts. Within Ken's holographic field can be found the “Library of Creation”, where he accesses and releases dense energy programs—the root causes of discomfort—and empowers his clients to realize their full potential beyond the limitations of the human experience.

By Davy Crockett Peter Napoleon Campana (1836-1906), of Bridgeport, Connecticut, known as "Old Sport," was recognized as the most popular and entertaining “clown” of ultrarunning. It was said of him, "Campana kicks up his heels and creates a laugh every few minutes." He was one of the most prolific six-day runners during the pedestrian era of the sport. All of his amazing ultrarunning accomplishments were made after he was 42 years old, and into his 60s. He competed in at least 40 six-day races and many other ultra-distance races, compiling more than 15,000 miles during races on small indoor, smokey tracks. He never won a six-day race, but because he was so popular, race directors would pay him just to last six days in their races. Admiring spectators would throw dollar bills down to him on the tracks during races. He didn't age well, lost his hair, had wrinkled skin from being outdoor so much, and people thought he was 10-15 years older than he really was. He never corrected them in their false assumption and wanted people to believe he was very old. While he was well-loved by the public, he wasn't a nice person. During races, when he would become annoyed, he would frequently punch competitors or spectators in the face. In his private life, he was arrested for assault and battery multiple times, including abusing his wife, and spent time in jails for being drunk.

Campana's Youth Campana was born in Petersburg, Virginia in 1836. His family came from France. When four years of age, he moved to New York City with his mother, his father having died in North Carolina of yellow fever. Shortly after his arrival in New York, his mother died, and he was cared for by the Metropolitan Fire Brigade. He first worked as a messenger boy, the first delivery boy for the New York Clipper in 1853, then became a hose-cart attaché, and finally a full-blown fireman, one of the “Fulton Market Boys.” On his left arm he had tattooed “Clinton Engine Co. 41, Old Stag.” He said he learned to run in the fire department and saved a great number of lives. “Like a young partridge, he tried to run as soon as he was hatched and has been running ever since.” He became very involved in athletics and received the nickname of “Young Sport.” His first race was with a man named Lee, in New York City for $10, for a half mile. He  next raced the champion of New England, Amos Saunders, of Brooklyn, in a five-mile race. "The day of the race arrived and found him in prime condition for the test of endurance and speed. He won the race in a canter." As a young man of about twenty years old, in 1856, Campana moved to Bridgeport, Connecticut. He became a peddler of nuts and fruit, and at other times operated a corner peanut stand. “He soon became known in Bridgeport as an expert and fearless volunteer fireman and did good service at several large fires. He was always a fast runner and was noted for his courage and promptness of action in time of danger.” He made a challenge to all New England runners in a five-mile race to win a belt. He won the race that took place in Providence, Rhode Island. Life Before an Ultrarunner In 1860, he lived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, again working as a fireman. He once challenged the entire fire department of the city to a half-mile race. The challenge was accepted, and he won in 2:30. He competed in several races up to ten miles and won many. He beat a noted runner, “Indian Smith” at ten miles, in 57:26. That year, he married Mary Jane (Dalton) Campana (1840-) and had a son Napoleon Campana (1861-1862) who died as a young child. In 1862, Campana enlisted in the Civil War, with the 114th Pennsylvania Infantry. He claimed that he fought at Gettysburg and lost a chase going after a confederate soldier who had been separated from his co...
