Navigating autism in today's neurodivergent world involves understanding the unique experiences and challenges faced by individuals on the autism spectrum. As society increasingly recognizes the value of neurodiversity, it becomes essential to foster environments that not only support but also celebrate these differences. This journey requires a multifaceted approach that includes advocating for inclusive policies, promoting awareness and acceptance, and creating supportive communities that empower autistic individuals to thrive. By shifting perspectives from viewing autism as a deficit to recognizing it as a distinct way of being, we can cultivate a culture that values diverse neurotypes and enhances the quality of life for all, ultimately leading to a more equitable society. In this episode, I am joined by Michael Villines, The Autoimmune Coach. His mission is to help people with multiple Sclerosis have the confidence to live. Michael delves into things he wished he had growing up feeling different, alcohol as a coping mechanism and advice to get started on the life you want to live. He also sheds more light on the books that helped him become who he was, the journey of building your own business, and things that made him feel less underrepresented. This guide aims to illuminate what autism looks like, providing insights on how to effectively support, advocate for, and empower children with autism. By fostering environments that celebrate neurodiversity, we can promote awareness and acceptance while emphasizing that we are all in this together. This journey encourages us to shift our perspectives from viewing autism as a deficit to recognizing it as a distinct way of being, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for all and cultivating a more equitable society where every individual is seen and valued. Tune in to learn more about how to support people living with autism and other related syndromes in this neurodivergent world.

Don Reichelt is an acclaimed trail and ultra runner, distinguished for his exceptional endurance and speed, residing in the scenic Fairplay, Colorado. He shares his life with his supportive wife, Amy, and their two beloved dogs, Bean and Sprout. Don's running prowess is evident in his remarkable achievements, notably his 100-mile trail best of 13:16, secured at the Tunnel Hill 100 in November 2020. This outstanding performance not only marked a personal best but also stood as the third-fastest trail 100-mile run in North America for that year. In November 2022, Don showcased his versatility and strength by setting three manual treadmill world records, wearing a Speedland road prototype. These records include the furthest distance in 12 hours, the fastest 100 miles, and the furthest distance run in 24 hours. His endurance and resilience have also earned him a podium finish at the Badwater 135, recognized as "The World's Toughest Footrace." Furthermore, Don's international representation includes being a member of the 2017 U.S. Spartathlon team, enduring a 153-mile race from Athens to Sparta, and his invitation to the prestigious 2019 Backyard World Championship. Don's racing accolades continue with numerous top finishes, such as securing the first place in the Coldwater Rumble 52 Mile in 2021, 2022, and 2023, as well as victories in the Salt Flats Endurance Run 50K in 2021, and the Lean Horse 100 mile in 2019. He also proudly finished as the 2nd place runner in the 2017 Keys 100 mile and is a celebrated Leadville Leadman Finisher. Away from the racing tracks, Don is deeply involved in the health tech industry, dedicating his time to Oura Ring, a pioneering startup known for its innovative, health-focused wearable technology. His role reflects his passion for promoting health and wellbeing, extending beyond his personal athletic endeavors. In addition to his professional and athletic pursuits, Don is a vibrant voice in the running community. He is not only a 2023 USA 24-Hour National Champ and a 3x Manual Treadmill World Record Holder but also a content creator who shares his love for running and interviews individuals on a tiny bench, bringing together a community passionate about endurance, health, and the resilience of the human spirit. With Fairplay, Colorado as his backdrop, Don continues to inspire and lead in the realms of ultra running and health technology.

This episode is part of a three-part series inspired by questions posed by a sincere skeptic wrestling with what he describes as three major conundrums about God and Christianity. This episode addresses the question of Why does an all-benevolent God allow pain, suffering, and evil? Dr. Patty explores the logic train of the skeptic and identifies some basic assumptions that would lead to some wrong conclusions. What is the true origin of evil? What is the power of contrary choice and how is that a factor in good and evil? What are the two types of mourning when there are challenges, pain, and tragedy, and what are the results of each? How do your choices influence your experience of pain and suffering? What can you learn about yourself related to the spiritual law of agreement? Jesus shares His perspective on this topic and invites you to ask Him about something you have always been troubled by and He will give you His perspective and show you the way to healing and understanding in your Experience Jesus encounter.

As we continue the Shipwrecked series, this week we are going to focus on pain, suffering, and trauma, the things we will all encounter and are most likely to shipwreck our faith. As a prime example, we are going to look at Job, someone who endured and stood firm in the midst of unthinkable tragedy. In one dark day Job suffered the loss of all his wealth, his sons and daughters, and even his health, yet rather than curse God, he responded with “The Lord gives, and the Lord takes away; blessed be the name of the Lord!” Job had the right perspective, and that is what sustained him in his darkest hours. The Apostle Paul was literally shipwrecked three times, yet maintained the right perspective. And there are others. So how were they able to face overwhelming challenges in their lives, yet do so with the perspective necessary to avoid derailing their faith? Pastor Greg lays out the answers from God's Word and the choice we need to make to walk through the pain suffering, and trauma we all inevitably encounter.

This is part two of three parts. Stephanie always had a hard road ahead of her. From the moment she was adopted, there were scant times when life showed her an easy path. And yet, she has continually remained ultra-positive. It's clear the one person Stephanie believed in most was herself. Listening to her story, your heart will go out to her years before she ever met up with Michael. It's a good thing, because this man brought pure hell into her life for three years.Stephanie's saving grace came when she heard of a law enforcement veteran and threat assessment investigator who specialized in intimate partner violence. Working together, they were able to turn the tables on Stephanie's boyfriend, her serial abuser and despicable person, Michael.This WHEN DATING HURTS episode comes with a "trigger warning".

Dave and Mike link up to discuss the difference between pain vs suffering along with some moments throughout their week that brought a positive perspective. In life, pain is inevitable and suffering is optional.
The National Party leader Christopher Luxon says another hike of interest rates will bring pain and suffering for New Zealanders. The Reserve Bank is expected to raise the official cash rate again today by another 25 basis points to five percent, a level last seen in December 2008. Luxon says there are 19,000 families who are in mortgage arrears already, and the Government's mismanagement of inflation is driving the problem.
One of the most commonly asked questions about God is: if He's good, why does He allow pain and suffering to occur? In this episode, ACF Pastors Will Davis, Jr. and Lauren Thurston address this difficult subject.
Throughout history, a single question has plagued humanity; a question often asked about an issue that all Abrahamic religions face. If an All-Powerful God, who is All-Knowing, All-Seeing, All-Hearing, Loving, Most-Merciful, and All-Just in control of All things and matters, exists, then why do people experience evil, pain, and suffering in this world? Why must we contend with sickness, natural disasters, starvation, war, calamities, corruption, and killings? If God is Most-Merciful, All-Loving, All-Good, and All-Just, why does He allow such atrocities to happen? The existence of evil ranks among the top reasons people reject the concept of religion or the belief in a Higher Power. This concept is known as the "problem of evil." Many have concluded that God could not exist because of the presence of evil; if He does exist, He is a cruel, unjust God who enjoys seeing people suffer and in pain. They summarize that such a God is not worth worshipping if He is unaware, uncaring, and incapable of removing and controlling evil elements.People who reject God because they cannot grapple with the problem of evil do not adequately understand the conditions of darkness and pain. They reject God because of their lack of understanding. The decision to disbelieve the existence of God only adds more confusion, leading to the emergence of questions as to why we were created, where we are destined to go, etc. An atheist that rejects God removes God from the equation, but suffering still exists. Disbelieving only eliminates the quality and significance of the suffering and no longer gives it purpose or meaning. One could have suffered their whole life, only to end up in their grave eternally with no justice or recompense for what they had endured, and those who committed evil can get away with their misdeeds. However, with God in the equation, suffering has meaning, and the victims and the oppressed eventually receive justice in this world or the next. Without God in the picture, they may not. The fact that evil exists does not negate the existence of God.The Angels first asked the question of evil upon God, the Almighty's announcement that He was creating a new form of beings called humans."And [mention, O Muhammad], when your Lord said to the angels, Indeed, I will make upon the Earth a successive authority" (Quran 2:30)The Angels responded with a question:"…They said, 'Will You place upon it one who causes corruption therein and sheds blood, while we declare Your praise and You?" (Quran 2:30) God answered: "…Indeed, I know that which you do not know" (Quran 2:20)Although God did not explain nor rationalize the answer to their question, the Angels were satisfied with this response; this is owing to their complete humility before, trust in, and faith in God's Wisdom and Knowledge while recognizing His Wisdom as Perfect and without flaws. The Angels did not assume God's Wisdom was incorrect simply because they could not understand nor comprehend that Wisdom. Humans never will understand the reason behind the world's pain and suffering, as our limited, finite minds cannot comprehend God's logic. However, the fact that our intellectual capacity cannot understand and evaluate the Wisdom behind pain and suffering does not nullify that Wisdom. How can we judge the situation or God without attaining the necessary information to do so? God states in the Quran:"…And mankind has not been given of knowledge except a little" (Quran 17:85)
“Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional.” ~The Dalai LamaThis Habits 2 Goals episode is FREE for ALL subscribers.It finally dawns on me that along with ANY worthwhile goal one chooses to pursue, pain and suffering are part of the “package.” Each is preloaded – like software – with every worthwhile goal and ideal.For instance, if you want to be a great mother, you can rest assured there will be pain and suffering.If you want to become a lawyer, there will be pain and suffering.If you want to become a great gymnast, a chess or surf champ, there will be pain and suffering.Do you want to have the perfect spouse? Brace yourself; there will be pain and suffering.Why is this worth mentioning? Since pain and suffering are inescapable, it's imperative to pursue goals you are obsessed with and passionate about. Otherwise, you'll quit.Enjoy the show!Visit https://thehabitfactor.com/templatesTo learn more about P.A.R.R., just Google “P.A.R.R. and The Habit Factor.”------Check out, EVERYTHING is a F*cking STORY my latest book.Get The Habit Factor® FREE with your audible trial!https://audibletrial.com/habits2goalsIt's time to make your goals “Automatic!”: https://automaticgoals.comFeedspot's “Top 10 Habit Podcasts You Must Follow in 2021”New listeners, grab your free habits 2 goals tracking template here: https://thehabitfactor.com/templatesFREE copy of As a Man Thinketh (PDF) right here:As a Man ThinkethSubscribe iTunes here!
