What happens to our clients when we're suddenly not there to care for them? In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Dr. Robyn Miller dives into the difficult but essential topic most therapists avoid: what happens when a therapist dies or becomes incapacitated. With compassion, clarity, and deep professional insight, Dr. Miller reveals the ethical, legal, and emotional chaos that can follow when we don't have a solid closure plan in place—and how TheraClosure offers a dignified, comprehensive solution. If you're a mental health professional who's ever told yourself, “I'll figure that out later,” this conversation is your wake-up call. It's not morbid. It's responsible. And it might be the most important step you take to protect your clients, your legacy, and your loved ones.

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael welcomes Robyn Miller, Executive Director of WATTS (Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter) to talk about their annual event, The Coldest Night of the Year. The event aims to raise awareness about homelessness by having participants walk in the cold to simulate the experience of the homeless community. This year marks the third occasion of the walk, which funds nearly a quarter of the WATTS budget, helping to provide crucial services like warming centers, overnight shelters, and identification documents for the homeless. Robyn explains the essential work done by WATTS, including their low-barrier shelters, bus transportation for guests, and their Transition Out of Homelessness program, which has been increasingly successful in helping people obtain IDs, get into rehab, and find housing. The conversation highlights the importance of small donations and volunteer efforts, which collectively make a significant impact. They emphasize how participation in the event fosters community awareness and compassion for the homeless. Participants can register for the walk online and may contribute either through monetary donations or in-kind items like t-shirts and snacks. The conversation underscores the value of meeting people where they are and providing them with basic necessities and emotional support. The event, scheduled for February 22nd, also aims to make homelessness more visible to the public, thereby encouraging more community involvement and understanding. More information about the event and WATTS services can be found on the organization's website: https://watts-homelessshelter.org/ and their Facebook page as well as through The Coldest Night of the Year's official page: https://cnoy.com/location/winchester

In this episode of the Valley Today, Janet Michael hosts a conversation with Robyn Miller, Executive Director at WATTS (Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter), and Michelle Smeltzer, President of the Board for HARTS (Hope and Rest Temporary Shelter.) They discuss the immense challenges and operations of their respective organizations dedicated to providing shelter and aid to the homeless populations in Winchester City/Frederick & Clarke Counties and Warren County respectively. Robyn explains the operational logistics of WATTS, highlighting their efforts to provide low-barrier, rotational shelter locations every night. She stresses the significance of their work, which aims to prevent deaths on the streets of Winchester due to severe weather conditions. Robyn also touches on the broader social issues contributing to homelessness and the critical support required to help individuals out of this plight. Michelle shares similar themes from her work with HARTS, noting how their shelter has transitioned from rotating locations to having a more permanent seasonal base at the Presbyterian Church. She reveals the struggles families face, especially single parents, and how social services play a crucial role in supporting these vulnerable groups. Both Robyn and Michelle bring attention to the misconceptions about homelessness and the diverse demographics affected, including children, elderly individuals, and those escaping abusive situations. They discuss the bureaucratic barriers that make it challenging for homeless individuals to regain stability, such as difficulties in obtaining identification documents. The conversation also delves into community involvement, emphasizing the importance of volunteers and donations. Both organizations need ongoing support through meal preparations, volunteering for events, and financial contributions to continue their vital work. The show ends with a powerful reminder of the impact community support can have on these efforts and upcoming events like the Turkey Trot and the Coldest Night of the Year walk aimed at raising awareness and support for homelessness.  To learn more about WATTS, visit their website: https://watts-homelessshelter.org/ and follow them on Facebook.

In this episode of the Valley Today, host Janet Michael converses with Robyn Miller, the Executive Director of the Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter (WATTS). They discuss the array of services WATTS provides and the ongoing challenges faced by the homeless community, especially during the winter season. The conversation begins with Robyn outlining the structure of the shelter. She explains that WATTS operates an overnight shelter and a warming center during the colder months. The overnight shelter moves between various churches and other locations, while the warming center is based at the Montague Avenue United Methodist Church. Robyn explains the logistics of how people can secure a bed at the shelter, emphasizing the first-come, first-served policy and the importance of showing up nightly to retain their spot. They discuss the low barrier nature of the shelter, which has minimal requirements for entry, and aims to provide a safe space, food, and support without demanding identification or sobriety. Janet and Robyn delve into the financial and fundraising efforts necessary to keep the shelter running. Robyn highlights key upcoming events such as the fifth annual Caring and Sharing night on October 19th and the Frederick County Parks & Rec Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning, both crucial for raising funds. Community support is emphasized, with Robyn noting WATTS receives no state or significant federal funding and relies entirely on local donations. They touch on the essential role volunteers play, from assisting with nightly operations to offering professional services like haircuts. Robin discusses various donation needs, including food, toiletries, and clothing essentials like T-shirts and underwear. She also mentions that WATTS doesn't accept general clothing donations due to a lack of storage and instead directs such contributions to Winchester CCAP. Another key point discussed is the support WATTS provides beyond just shelter. Robyn describes their efforts in helping guests transition to stable housing, obtain identification, and access other necessary services. Janet notes the psychological and social benefits of having a safe place to sleep and a supportive community, which Robyn agrees with, sharing stories of former guests who have overcome tremendous odds to improve their situations. Robyn also clues listeners in on the real-life struggles and bureaucratic hurdles that homeless individuals face, from the costs of IDs to the barriers in securing affordable housing due to criminal backgrounds or lack of funds for deposits. The conversation highlights the complexity of homelessness and the multifaceted approach required to combat it. Towards the end of their talk, Janet encourages listeners to get involved by volunteering, donating essential items, or contributing financially. Robyn provides information on where to find more details about WATTS, including their website (https://watts-homelessshelter.org/) and Facebook, and emphasizes the continual need for community support to keep the shelter and its services running.

Our conversation today welcomes back Robyn Miller, Executive Director for WATTS (Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter) and her Community Outreach Coordinator, Cindee Steele to talk about their Coldest Night of the Year fundraising walk happening on Saturday, February 24, 2024. The Coldest Night of the Year is a family-friendly walk in support of people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. This is WATTS' second year hosting the event for Winchester to benefit their guests and bring awareness to their experiences. Their goal is to reach 700 walkers. The pair provide an overview of WATTS and its low-barrier shelter operations, as well as the day program they offer. Cindee emphasizes the importance of the event as a fundraiser for the shelter's services and explains participation options and logistics of the event. Robyn tells us about the speakers while Cindee gives the various ways to support the shelter, such as donating or volunteering. We also highlight the need for affordable housing and the challenges faced by individuals experiencing homelessness. Robyn & Cindee encourage listeners to participate in the event and show support for the cause. Register a team or walk as an individual, make a donation to an existing team, or sign up to volunteer here: https://cnoy.com/location/winchester  Learn more about WATTS on their website: https://watts-homelessshelter.org/  WATTS mission is to break the cycle of homelessness one life at a time. They empower individuals to re-enter the workforce and connect individuals to the resources needed to be as self-sufficient as possible while providing a safe, temporary shelter during extreme weather. In 2009, a group of faith-based leaders recognized there was a population of homeless adults who did not qualify for admission to other local shelter programs. Realizing these folks would be sleeping outside during the coldest weeks of winter and seeing a solution with their warm church buildings which were empty at night, WATTS was born. Since that time, WATTS has grown and expanded to meet the needs of homeless individuals in our area. Today, they provide 21 weeks of overnight shelter from November to March, along with a daytime Warming Center in the winter, and a daytime Cooling Center in the summer. They've also added a Transition Out of Homelessness Program, with staff members who work year-round to assist guests in ending their homelessness.

Our conversation for United Way Day with United Way Northern Shenandoah Valley's CEO, Kaycee Childress, included Robyn Miller (Executive Director) and Cindee Steele (Communications & Community Outreach Coordinator) with WATTS (Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter) to talk about their organization. WATTS is a low-barrier shelter, meaning they will take ANYONE who is homeless, regardless of sobriety or criminal background.  For this reason, the shelter is for ADULTS ONLY and all volunteers must be at least 18 YEARS OF AGE. The shelter can house up to 35 guests each night on cots that are cleaned and moved each week to the next host location (typically local churches.)  Many people come in to volunteer their time, efforts, and various talents to guests, providing meals, necessities, fellowship, haircuts, music therapy, and medical services, just to name a few. We discussed a range of issues related to homelessness, including the challenges faced by homeless individuals, the importance of providing a support system and services, and the funding of these services. We also touched on the issue of housing affordability, particularly for the ALICE population, and the efforts of organizations to address these issues through fundraising and collaboration. Robyn explained the operations of the Market Street United Methodist Church warming center and the evening shelter. The warming center is located at Market Street and is open Monday - Saturday from 7am to 2pm, and Sundays from noon to 6pm, and is available to anyone. The evening shelter, rotates between different churches in Winchester, Frederick County, and Clarke County. People can arrive between 6pm and 7pm (or catch the bus at 21 W. Cecil Street) and their spot is guaranteed as long as they return. Meals for the shelter are provided by local churches. Robyn also mentioned that donations of certain items, such as underwear, socks, and coffee are always welcome for the shelter's guests. We discussed the increasing homelessness problem in our area, highlighting WATTS' efforts to serve the needs of over 300 people last season. Robyn noted their expansion of the warming center also exposed them to those who were previously not served. Kaycee & Robyn emphasized the influx of newly homeless individuals, who are local and have lost their housing for various reasons. Before we wrapped up our conversation, Cindee & Robyn shared details for their "Coldest Night of the Year" fundraising event scheduled for February 24, 2024, which aims to raise funds and awareness about homelessness by simulating harsh winter conditions. The event includes a walk (through a portion of the MSV trails and downtown Winchester) and a simple soup kitchen.

30 years of Myst – and 20 years of Uru! The Cavern Today is proud to present a very special celebratory episode for our Autumn 2023 edition, featuring: Background music featured in this episode courtesy LCC, Tim Larkin, Robyn Miller and Jack Wall.

Today, we'll all learn about Myst, the graphic adventure game originally released for the Macintosh in September of 1993. As part of its story, we'll learn all about the history of its production studio, now known as Cyan Worlds. We'll also teach you about the careers of Cyan World's founders, brothers Rand and Robyn Miller. Finally, we'll talk about why Myst was incredibly successful and what it contributed to the history of technology. So join us for today's trip through the Ages as we take another trip down Memory Card Lane.

Picture this: your nonprofit has been diligently working towards its mission, making a positive impact in your community, and enjoying the benefits of tax exempt status under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. But one day you receive a letter from the IRS telling you that your organization's 501(c)(3) status has been revoked. What do you do next? Join us. In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Robyn Miller will guide us through the steps a nonprofit needs to take if it's tax exempt status is revoked.

On this episode, Robyn Miller of the Winchester Area Temporary Transitional Shelter (WATTS) shares how the non-profit has set up daytime cooling centers for the area's homeless. Also joining Barry on the podcast is local icon Leonard Kraemer who just celebrated his 99th birthday.  Leonard offers some sweet advice on life and marriage.

It's another delightful chat with composer Maclaine Diemer about Firmament from Cyan Worlds, the creators of Myst and Riven. The score is entirely synth with the exception of two or three other instruments, including an esraj and a Fender IV (technically a Squire, which only matters to people who know the difference). It's atmospheric, ambient and round, but with industrial grit thrown in occasionally. Maclaine calls it "industrial ambient." Or maybe "ambient industrial," you'll have to listen to find out. One of the best parts: Maclaine grew up playing and revering those early games and the music Robyn Miller wrote, which is similarly ambient and reverb-y, but with a lot of pizzicato (synth) strings. It was fun to hear Maclaine talk about his fantastic score! You can support Level with Emily on Patreon. Join us on Discord for free. Find this conversation on YouTube and Twitter.

Without use of an extended forecast, Barry chats about the 'Coldest Night of the Year' on 2/25 with the Executive Director of WATTS (Winchester Area Temporary Thermal Shelter), Robyn Miller.  The CNOY event is a family-friendly walk to raise money and awareness for the program that serves the homeless.  (cnoy.com) Barry is also joined by Jill Klein Rone, Producer of the 'Berkeley Springs International Water Tasting' which takes place on 2/25 in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia and hosts entries from all over the world and U.S. (berkeleysprings.com) 

Our conversation today with Jenna DeHaven, Director of Advancement for United Way Northern Shenandoah Valley included Robyn Miller, Executive Director of the Winchester Area Temporary Thermal Shelter. Robyn gave us the history of her organization and talked about the important role it plays for the homeless in our community. She explained how the overnight shelter works with support from local churches. The overnight shelter has operated from November – March every year since that first season in 2009 (even during the COVID-19 shutdowns!)  WATTS is a low-barrier shelter, meaning they take ANYONE who is homeless, regardless of sobriety or criminal background.  For this reason, the shelter is for ADULTS only and volunteers must be at least 18 years of age.  The shelter can house up to 35 guests each night on cots that are cleaned and moved each week to the next host group location.  WATTS owns the cots and linens, which are laundered each week and stored during the off-season.  Some of the host groups have shower facilities for guests to be able to clean up.  Many people come in to volunteer their various talents to guests, such as providing haircuts, music therapy, and medical services, to name a few. In addition to the overnight shelter they provide, seasonally they operate warming/cooling centers from Market Street UMC (131 S. Cameron Street, Winchester.) The Warming Center gives homeless individuals a safe, warm place to sit for a few minutes or a few hours to warm up from the cold.  WATTS offers snacks and warm drinks daily and has breakfast and lunch offerings on various days, provided by generous volunteers!  Open during the coldest months - December through March - Monday - Saturday from 7am - 2pm and Sundays 12 noon – 6pm. The Warming Center also serves as the bus stop/pick-up point to go to the overnight shelter for the weeks when the host location is NOT a downtown, walkable church. The Cooling Center gives homeless individuals a safe, air-conditioned place to sit for a few minutes or a few hours to help cool off from the heat.  WATTS offers snacks and refreshing drinks daily and has lunch offerings on various days, provided by generous volunteers!  Open during the hottest summer months - July and August - from noon to 5 pm. Robyn also told us about their Transition Out of Homelessness program which offers staff to help guests with things such as obtaining birth certificates and identification, assisting with job applications, forms for Centralized Housing Intake, and apartments, applying for Medicaid, Medicare, and SNAP benefits, information and placement in drug and alcohol detox/rehabilitation programs as a few examples. She explained that falling into homelessness is easy and can happen quickly; getting out is much more difficult and complex.  Her team works with guests to set simple, achievable goals, and then serve in a case manager-type role to help guests achieve those goals, with the ultimate objective being to assist guests on their path to a safe, stable future. Before we wrapped up our conversation, Robyn told us about their first annual Coldest Night of the Year (CNOY) Walk beginning at 4pm on Saturday, February 25, 2023. It's a FUNdraiser that culminates in a Walk that happens every year in February in cities all over North America. The walk is held in February (a typically snowy and often frigid month) to allow folks to step outside the warmth and comfort of home and experience a little bit of what it might be like to be homeless – the purpose of the walk is to raise awareness and funds for people experiencing hurt, hunger, and homelessness. It works similarly to Relay for Life or the Out of the Darkness Walk to fight suicide, where you commit to walking and ask family, friends, etc. to sponsor your mileage. Walkers, teams, volunteers, and donors are needed. ANYONE can participate in this event – the routes (choose the 2k or 5k) are within Winchester city limits, on sidewalks, with easy intersections. Click here for more information or to register. Jenna encouraged listeners to consider volunteering to serve on United Way's fund distribution panels to be part of the decision-making process of distributing the funds that are raised through the campaign each year. You can find more information by clicking here. She also reminded us of the Rubbermaid Sale happening on Saturday, January 28, 2023 from 9am - 12pm in the Belk parking lot at Apple Blossom Mall.

Robyn discusses common signals that indicate it might be time to close your nonprofit's doors.

501(c)(3)s have rules and restrictions around political activity, lobbying and advocacy. With that in mind, how can a nonprofit get involved in next month's election or be more active in the future? In this episode of the PBPA Podcast, Robyn Miller, Senior Corporate & Tax Counsel with PBPA, speaks with us about the difference between political activity, lobbying and civic engagement. Join us as she answers our questions about how 501(c)(3)s can participate in “Get-Out-the-Vote” initiatives.

Barry's guest on the podcast is Robyn Miller, Executive Director of WATTS, Winchester Area Temporary Thermal Shelter.  Robyn will share how the program has expanded beyond meals and a warm place to sleep, to working one-on-one with residents to help them find a way out of homelessness.  The WATTS gratitude dinner and fundraiser is October 1st.   (www.watts-homelessshelter.org)  

Have you ever felt frustrated, exhausted, or resentful about the disproportional invisible and emotional labor you, as a woman, carry around your home?  Robyn Miller discusses the ‘Mental Load' with me on today's podcast.  The concept of the Mental Load is hundreds of years old. In many western countries since the 14th-century women's energy has been seen as a natural resource to fuel the family (according to feminist scholar Silvia Federici, one of my hero's).  Today, even though women have near-equity in so many diverse areas, we often still find ourselves carrying more than our share of the mental load.  The mental load, the feminine & creating a more embodied future intersect in so many ways.  Join Robyn & me for a conversation on…  What the mental load is & how Robyn first realized the extent of her's  The subtle and sneaky ways women take on more & more executive functions in the home  Why outsourcing isn't the holy grail of freeing up your time/energy  Why delegating a single task isn't the solution  Two practical (& critical) tips for rebalancing the dynamic  How the feminine/masculine energy dynamic impacts the roles we play  Robyn Miller is an Australian medical doctor working in Northern Australia. Upon returning to work after maternity leave, Robyn, like many women, experienced the struggles of the “mental load”. When she couldn't find any strategies to effectively “off-load” half of this invisible labour to her partner, Robyn drew upon her own skills and experience in neuroscience and organizational management to develop her own, unique approach. In 2019, she founded The Mental Load Project to help other women to recognize and rebalance the mental load in their relationships. She has since taught her strategy to dozens of women internationally.

In a new twist for season two, Toby Kaminsky interviews cousins Robyn Miller-Tarnoff and Nina Navisky, whose grandmothers were sisters from a large family and escaped Vienna mostly by foot.  Although their grandmothers were reticent about their Holocaust experiences and preferred to focus on building their lives in Flint, Michigan, after the war, Robyn and Nina learned of their courage and resourcefulness and draw strength from their family story as adults today.

Myst is a graphic adventure puzzle video game designed by the Miller brothers, Robyn and Rand. It was developed by Cyan, Inc., published by Broderbund, and initially released for the Macintosh personal computer platform in 1993. In the game, players travel via a special book to the island of Myst. There, players solve puzzles, and by doing so, travel to four other worlds, known as Ages, which reveal the backstory of the game's characters. The Miller brothers got their start in video game development by creating titles for children. They conceived Myst as their first game for adults, receiving funding from publisher Sunsoft. Development began in 1991 and was Cyan's biggest undertaking to date. Technical constraints of the time influenced the design of the game and the production of its graphics, which were state-of-the-art but static. Robyn Miller composed 40 minutes of synthesized music that became the soundtrack to Myst. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/retro-renegades/support

When Robyn Miller decided on a whim to show her side-hustle line of birth announcements at the New York Stationery Show, she never dreamed that she would walk away as one of the first designer licenses for a little startup named Tiny Prints.  Cut to 16 years later, Tiny Prints was acquired by big company Shutterfly, and Robyn Miller + Tiny Prints is still growing strong.  In this episode, I talk to Robyn Miller about how she make the leap from former SELF magazine art director to working full time on her brand, and how her license with Tiny Prints became the cornerstone of her brand.  Check out @robynmillerdesigns on Instagram. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Today I speak with Robyn Miller, who is a medical doctor has spent the past decade helping people from diverse backgrounds in many different places: from Australian cities and country towns to refugee tent hospitals in central Africa. In 2018, Robyn returned to Brisbane to complete her paediatric specialty training. Later that year, she and her husband also welcomed their first child and puppy into the family. Upon returning to work after maternity leave, Robyn, like many women, experienced the struggles of the "mental load". The mental load or emotional labour refers to the endless, but often invisible, planning, organising, remembering of everything that is required to run a household! In most relationships, the majority of this mental load falls to the woman. Robyn realised that to continue to succeed in her professional career, and be a happy wife and mother, she and her partner needed to learn to truly share all this invisible labour. When she couldn't find the any solutions or strategies from googling or from asking friends and colleagues, Robyn drew upon her own skills and experience to develop a unique formula to achieve mental load equality. Somewhat to even her surprise, Robyn's strategy worked and continued to work so much so that Robyn then decided to teach other women via a 6 week online course how to fairly and sustainably share the mental load. During the chat, we discuss all things relating to the mental load as well as Robyn's own experiences in becoming a mother 18 months ago. Robyn gives a great explanation of what the mental load is and talks about the emotional labour vs mental load. A big part of Robyn's work is equalising the mental load at home. We go on to talk about how the sharing the mental load at home can extend into changing stereotypes in society. Robyn shares strategies you can use today with your partner. I love the quote Robyn says during the conversation "working motherhood shouldn't be any harder than working fatherhood". Hope you enjoy this episode and be sure to share it with your fellow working mumma's managing the juggle of career and parenthood.
