Kim and Kara talk about ambiguous grief with Heather Straughter and the ways grief and trauma are so intimately cooccurring.  Heather Straughter (said like “daughter”), was a Special Education Inclusion teacher in Roxbury, Massachusetts for nearly 10 years before moving to Saratoga Springs, NY with her husband Brian and growing family. Her first child Ethan was born in 2005 and her second Jake was born in 2006. Both boys were healthy and vibrant; then, when Jake was eight months old, he had a seizure that changed the families lives forever.  They spent 117 days in the hospital before going home. At that point Jake had lost all his milestones. They continued to advocate for their son and made sure that he got the care he needed to thrive – despite the fact that doctors were never able to diagnose him. When Jake was 4-years-old he suddenly passed away. In the chaos of that grief the non-profit “Jake's Help from Heaven” was born.  In the 13 years since his death the small non-profit has awarded $1.7 Million dollars to 1,000 medically fragile individuals – mostly children – who live within a 100 mile radius of Saratoga Springs, NY. Many of them come back year after year, with new needs as they age.  Heather's story is one of resilience and determination in the face of unimaginable loss.  Heather's CTA: Listen to "A Place of Yes" Learn more from Heather: @Jakeshelp Jake's Help From Heaven _________ Join Kim and Kara's "Captive Audience" by visiting   https://www.patreon.com/SGTC.     Like what we're doing here?

A place of yes refers to openness to possibilities, opportunities, friendships, and signs and synchronicities from divine places (including the universe, and God), while maintaining safety and boundary integrity.  Dr. Borger inspires her listeners to themselves explore life from a place of yes.    Dr. Judith Borger Links: www.theaestheticdoctor.com www.instagram.com/doctorborger

“We are living every day with the fact that our son died, that our son who was supposed to be alive is not. There's no easy way around that," host Heather Straughter said. Heather was 36 when her four-year-old son Jake suddenly died. She thought it would destroy her. Introducing “A Place of YES” a podcast about using your grief to create something good.

Holly Harris, LPC, Deschutes County Behavioral Health Director, and Sheriff L. Shane Nelson, Deschutes County Sheriff discuss: The benefits of having a 24 hour walk-in crisis stabilization center with therapists on staff. The stabilization center takes anyone unless there is a safety concern, and law enforcement can voluntarily drop people off in lieu of taking them to jail. The attitude is, “Coming from a place of yes.” The staff can de-escalate situations early for people by providing basic needs - food, rest, shower, etc - so the crisis doesn't escalate, and the person can stabilize. Diverting people to services rather than taking them to jail makes the community and the jails safer. The center opened during COVID, and staff wellness has been a focus through safety implementation, debriefing, the betterment committee, and being mission-driven. It creates psychological safety for both staff and clients. The staff was provided with situational awareness and tactical training from law enforcement, and they rarely need to call police for back-up and initiate the involuntary process. The stabilization center staff also provided training to law enforcement, but it's not just training - it's about the partnership, and creating the trust to be able to provide the best services for the clients. The initial funding came through the sheriff's department to start the project. The stabilization center later applied for, and received, funding from the IMPACTS grant. Approximately 400 people were diverted from jail in one year, with an average of 1500 mental health calls. Having behavioral health taking the non-law enforcement response calls straight from dispatch to respond to behavioral health crisis situations has helped to save an estimated $75,000 in officer time. Substance use goes hand-in-hand with the behavioral health problems, and won't exclude a person from receiving services from the stabilization center.

On this episode I have a conversation with a long time friend, who I went to Boston College with. Ed is a really interesting person. He is authentic, he is passionate, and he has a very spiritual/karmic view on life. He has worked in the entertainment industry for a long time, as a writer, influencer, podcaster, and now a development executive. This show was great for me because he brought such a different perspective and approach than the usual philosopher or analytical thinker. He is super smart but also uses a lot of intuition to guide his life. This was a good example too, of taking a look at a different way of thinking and exploring it in a way that isn't combative or judgmental, but is just curious and open. I really hope you enjoy it.

The power of positive thinking, the importance of being open and receptive, the need to keep your cool and have a smile on your face are all things we've been told lead to success, but in order for those tactics to work, first we must have authenticity. Authenticity in our yeses and our nos. In this episode, Nikki dives into the vital tools of discernment and self trust and the power of honoring that many times no can be a complete sentence.  What do authentic yeses and nos look and feel like to you? We'd love to hear from you www.nikkiinnocent.com/jointheconversation
