While homelessness in the Golden State may feel like an intractable crisis, some unhoused people are able to get back on their feet–and find solutions that last. KQED's health correspondent Lesley McClurg profiled two women in the Bay Area who spent years on the streets, and turned their lives around when it felt like there was no way out. Chantel Hernandez-Coleman overcame decades of addiction, and is now saving lives. Vera Salido has finally found safety and peace after a catastrophic event forever altered her world.  Then, KQED's MindShift brings us the story of the Monarch School, in San Diego County, which has transformed unhoused families' lives, and offers hope to vulnerable students.

This podcast episode explores Monarch School, a public school in San Diego County dedicated to serving unhoused students and their families. Highlighting the growing issue of homelessness among students and its adverse impact on education, we showcase Monarch School's community school model.

From addressing basic needs to offering specialized academic programs, Monarch School exemplifies the transformative power of community-driven approaches to education, offering hope and opportunity to vulnerable students.

The Monarch School is the only public school in the US that serves only homeless pupils, offering kindergarten through high school education and support. Afira talks about her experience working at the school, showing how it grew from a little one-room facility to being a pillar of support for kids without homes. She stresses how crucial it is to provide a secure and supportive atmosphere where kids can grow in confidence in their abilities and sense of belonging. In her discussion of the difficulties encountered by homeless students, Afira touches on the trauma of concealing their living circumstances in conventional educational settings.She reveals that because of continuous housing uncertainty, many students stay for years, even though others may achieve stability and graduate from the institution. In order to meet the requirements of various age groups and academic levels while keeping an emphasis on trauma-informed and restorative practices, Afira describes how the school functions as three schools in one.Throughout the entire episode, Afira's dedication to justice and equity, as well as her own experiences, drive her love for helping homeless children.

For more than a decade, Valerie Livesay, Ph.D. has been thinking about and inquiring into the phenomenon of fallback — when despite our optimal developmental capacities, what we often refer to as our developmental center-of-gravity, we make meaning, feel, and act from a smaller, less complex, less capable form of mind. Following a career in higher education in both administration and faculty roles, Valerie's present endeavors seek to extend the concepts and experiences that she studies, teaches, and writes about outside of the halls of academia, to the lives of all people trying to navigate the tricky business of showing up in alignment with their intentions in the many contexts of their world.     As Chief Illuminator at Ghost Light Leadership, Valerie accompanies individuals through their discovery of self using the analogy of theater to set the stage for their historical and unfolding story. She serves as documentarian, bringing to light the lesser known, lesser loved, and occasionally forgotten roles and scenes that make up one's full ensemble and storyline. Through her writing, speaking, coaching, and workshop offerings, Valerie invites the many characters that comprise the full ensemble of one's self to dance together in order to better meet their intentions.   Valerie is the author of Leaving the Ghost Light Burning: Illuminating Fallback in Embrace of the Fullness of You in which she reveals both the despair and ecstasy that accompany a knowing of the fullness of one's self through the stories of four individuals and their experiences of fallback. This longitudinal study (which was actually never intended to be a longitudinal study) allows the reader to find the fullness of themselves in the journey of development and the experience of being human.     Valerie holds a Bachelor's degree from Indiana University and earned her Master's in Nonprofit Leadership and Management and a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from the University of San Diego. She lives in San Diego, California with her two cats, husband, and two children, with the latter three serving simultaneously as the most frequent protagonists of and audience to her experiences of fallback and the greatest source of her desire to do better. Additionally, I'll be donating to and raising awareness for the charity or organization of my guest's choice with each episode now. This episode, the organization is The Monarch School in San Diego. Any and all donations make a difference!

Welcome to our 2022 end-of-year holiday extravaganza! In the spirit of holiday giving, we have a present for you, which, if we're being honest, is also a present for us: BOOK RECOMMENDATIONS. Two dozen of them, in fact! At the end of almost all the interviews we conducted this year, we asked our guests, “What's one book you love and why do you love it?” We held back the recordings of their answers so we could share them with you now, with our gratitude for another year of book dreaming. One more thing: Book Dreams Inc.—a nonprofit that Julie and Eve founded that provides books to kids who lack them—is co-hosting a holiday event for students at the Monarch School, which serves homeless children in San Diego. They're covering the cost of filling a bookmobile with books for all 300 students. The bookmobile will arrive at the school, and each child will be able to choose a book for themselves, just in time for the holidays. If you'd like to help, go here and click on the yellow donate button. No amount is too small, and any extra funds will add books to the school library. All donations are tax-deductible. And as a thank you, the Book Dreams podcast will send you a list of book recommendations from more than 50 Book Dreams guests, some of whom are probably among your favorite authors. Find us on Twitter (@bookdreamspod) and Instagram (@bookdreamspodcast), or email us at contact@bookdreamspodcast.com.

Why, exactly, do we feel so shattered when someone we love leaves us? What is the science behind the physical changes we experience during heartbreak, such as weight loss and anxiety, and why do so many of us stop behaving rationally? In this episode of Book Dreams, we talk with acclaimed science writer Florence Williams about her latest book, Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey, in which she explores questions like these within the framework of a heartbreak of her own and its aftermath. In her conversation with Julie and Eve, Florence discusses the brain science behind our responses to this kind of loss; the potential impact of loneliness and feelings of abandonment on our immune systems; why some of us bounce back from heartbreak faster than others; what advice she gives to everyone struggling to recover from heartbreak; and so much more. Florence Williams is a journalist, podcaster, and the author of Heartbreak: A Personal and Scientific Journey. Her first book, Breasts: A Natural and Unnatural History, won the Los Angeles Times Book Prize in Science and Technology, and was named a notable book by The New York Times. She's also the author of The Nature Fix: Why Nature Makes us Happier, Healthier, and More Creative. Her writing has appeared in The New York Times, National Geographic, The New York Review of Books, and many other outlets, and she's a contributing editor at Outside Magazine.

What is it like to create a modern, feminist retelling of an ancient, foundational text? Vaishnavi Patel–author of the instant New York Times bestselling novel Kaikeyi, a reimagining of the Hindu epic the Ramayana–paints a vivid picture in this episode of Book Dreams. Vaishnavi's novel “tells the story of the evil stepmother character [Kaikeyi], who sets off the whole epic by exiling Rama, and then just sort of disappears. [The novel] asks, What if she had reasons for doing what she did? What if the story was a little bit different and we can understand her actions rather than them just being spur-of-the-moment jealousy, which is what we get in the Ramayana?” In this conversation with Eve and Julie, Vaishnavi relates why she became fascinated by Kaikeyi's story; how her research led her to surprising evidence of feminism in the Ramayana source material; how she's handled backlash from people who “believe in some sort of Hindu supremacy” and who deem her novel a threat; and why the novel in fact strengthened her relationship with Hinduism, as well as the connection of some of her readers to their Hindu faith. Vaishnavi Patel is an attorney focusing on constitutional law and civil rights and the author of the New York Times bestselling novel Kaikeyi. She writes at the intersection of Indian myth, feminism, and anti-colonialism.

What are the raw materials of our lives? Who are the authors, the singers and songwriters, the actors and artists whose work resonates with each of us and makes us who we are? It's a question that is brilliantly and masterfully explored by arts critic Margo Jefferson in her new memoir, Constructing a Nervous System, in which she weaves her personal history with those of the artists who are part of her “nervous system,” setting it all within a wider cultural context. In this spirited and wide-ranging conversation, Julie and Eve talk with Margo about deriving power from our heroes and our anti-heros, how accepting complexity can be a better course than cancellation when we encounter racism and other biases in cherished artists and their works, how critics can betray their readers, and so much more. Margo Jefferson won a Pulitzer Prize for Criticism and previously served as Books and Arts Critic for Newsweek and The New York Times. Constructing a Nervous System was long listed for the Andrew Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. It was named a Best Book of the Year for The New Yorker and Publishers Weekly, and a Most Anticipated Book for The New York Times, Time, Los Angeles Times, Vulture, Observer, Vanity Fair, Bustle, Buzzfeed, and more. Margo's earlier memoir, Negroland, received the National Book Critic Circle Award for Autobiography. She's also the author of On Michael Jackson and is a professor of writing at Columbia University School of the Arts.

Today I sit wth Alli Jo, of Alli Jo's Swim school, and more passionately, she founded and works with Project Connect (17:00.) They work with Monarch School, which is a school for homeless kids. They provide a Thanksgiving festival to provide a wonderful, normalized Thanksgiving dinner and events to a group that normally does not have what we take for granted. Great meal, then festival – dancing, carnival games, prizes, petting zoo and more. This event is 100% volunteer driven and everything is donated. One guy is organizing the cooking and delivery of 50 turkeys in a turkey caravan across the Coronado bridge! Honestly, if this episode and event does not touch and motivate you to try to be better every day – unsubscribe! (Just kidding, I am 100% bluffing – do not unsubscribe, just try to do better.) 

Jesus (Chuy) Nunez, Jr., Director of Communications and Corporate Engagement for the Monarch School, chats about the mission and vision of the unique school; its wrap-around mental health, arts, and athletics services; and it's new black box theatre: The Chrysalis.

Michelle Candland, President of the San Diego Women's Foundation, and Marisol Alvarado, Vice President of Programs for Monarch School, chat about the Foundation's support of the Monarch School Project that benefits 155 families through case management, housing assistance and skill-building.

In this episode, Nancy and Jose are joined in studio by international educational ambassador, former Teacher of the Year, and the current CEO of The Children's Initiative, Sandra McBrayer. From a less than confident first-time teacher to teaching the world about teaching, Sandra shares the story of her Founding of The Monarch School to her current work on improving the lives of children in San Diego and California. And how does she improve lives? By deeply understanding the challenges that many families and children face, particularly in communities lacking resources, time and money to nudge their children forward. Sandra chats about the absolute essentiality of having books, magazines or comic books in homes and the need to read to children - a surrogate or friend if the parent is not able to do it. She also talks about the patience and persistence it takes to become an excellent teacher. Truer words have never been spoken! Some amazing takeaways from the interview with Sandra McBrayer: - Some families have to choose milk or rent over buying a book and we must address this to increase literacy - How to properly use data in determining which communities need support and how best to support them - The importance of diving into a story with an immersive mindset when reading- How time is a luxury for some, but not all, when it comes to reading to children and how we must think about we create more time for parents - The answers to the Rapid Fire questions! A very special interview with an international asset and local icon, Sandra McBrayer. Thank you, Sandra, for your tireless contributions to the children, families, literacy. and for joining us on The Gap Minders.Enjoy this episode and be sure to subscribe to the show.

The October interviews continue, as does the unintentional “alcohol and spooky stuff” theme of the month so far!For this ep, Wyatt and Jake pay a visit to their favorite brewery (Earth Eagle of Portsmouth, NH) to talk to ALEX and SHERIDAN about their own personal paranormal experiences. And about beer, because duh. Was this whole thing just a thinly-veiled excuse to hang out and drink beer with the people who make it? Or will you be CHILLED TO THE BONE by tales of jingling bells and planking? You’ll just have to listen and find out!Also Jake turns 30 when this is released so that’s cool and not a big deal and certainly not something he would explicitly allude to in the episode description (but like, do you people even read these?).Anyway, crack open a jet-black fortune cookie, try a gruit already, and enjoy another October episode of Superduperstitious!EPISODE LINKSMERCH SHOP: https://www.superduperstitious.com/shopPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/superduperstitiousEarth Eagle Brewings: https://www.eartheaglebrewings.com/Monarch School of New England: https://www.monarchschoolne.org/donate/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
