What does it take to ensure a "good death"? Join us as we explore this profound question with our esteemed guest, Susanna Bryan, a transformative figure in end-of-life care. Drawing from her rich experiences as a former hospice and oncology nurse, and founder of the Doula Givers Institute, Susanna offers enlightening insights into making the end-of-life experience more human-centered. Inspired by her volunteer work in Zimbabwe, she advocates for changes in the American system to focus on clarity, comfort, and dignity, and shares the nine essential questions that guide this process.

This episode delves into the delicate task of discussing end-of-life wishes with loved ones, focusing on maintaining quality of life and ensuring wishes are respected. We recount the heartfelt story of Mary, who faced terminal cancer with grace and celebrated her life through a living funeral. Mary's journey is a testament to the power of prioritizing personal comfort and symptom management over medical interventions. We also explore the role of palliative care in enhancing quality of life, encouraging listeners to consider practical, physical, and emotional preparations for future decisions. Listeners are invited to consider their own end-of-life care preferences, from choosing a healthcare proxy to exploring environmentally friendly body disposition options. We highlight the significance of legal documents like the POLST form in ensuring wishes are followed and emphasize the value of clear communication with family. As we explore alternative end-of-life celebrations, such as body donation and living funerals, we encourage embracing personal choice to honor life and death.

Have you ever wondered how a healthcare proxy can impact your end-of-life planning? As a devoted hospice and oncology nurse, I've witnessed firsthand the profound importance of choosing the right person to voice your medical wishes. Embark on this journey with me as I share heartwarming and sometimes heartbreaking stories that reveal the true essence of a healthcare proxy and how it differs from a financial power of attorney. By the time we're done, you'll have gained invaluable insight into selecting someone who can ensure your journey concludes with dignity and peace. Understanding the terminology around healthcare proxies can often feel like navigating a labyrinth. Terms like healthcare surrogate and healthcare agent might sound confusing, but each has a specific role in safeguarding your medical preferences. Drawing from over two decades of experience and memorable moments from around the globe, including a life-changing trip to Zimbabwe, I unravel these complexities. For those without an obvious choice, learn about innovative solutions like doula giver healthcare proxy mixers and support groups that help you make these crucial decisions. The episode doesn't just stop at education—it's a call to prepare and act. With the launch of the Good Death book, you have a chance to delve deeper into the art of living and dying well. I also invite you to a live masterclass where you can expand your understanding and engage with others on this journey.

How prepared are you to support a loved one at the end of life? This is a question many avoid but is crucial for everyone to consider. In the Good Death Seminar Series, we equip you with the knowledge and confidence to navigate the journey of end-of-life care. We begin by sharing personal stories that illustrate the transformative power of being educated and empowered in this role. Together, we'll explore the history and purpose of hospice care, the impact of Medicare, and critical questions you should ask when selecting a hospice provider. Our goal is to make a meaningful difference, even if it helps just one person find peace and positivity in challenging times. As we continue, we confront the challenges posed by the rising number of for-profit hospices, questioning how profit-driven motives might affect the quality of care. Through poignant narratives like Mr. Penn's, we expose systemic gaps and the urgent need for patient-centered care. By reflecting on the invaluable contributions of hospice workers, we advocate for a renewed focus on collaboration to ensure dignified and supportive end-of-life experiences. With discussions on pain management, advanced directive documents, and the essential role families play, we aim to empower you with the tools needed for informed decision-making. Finally, we underscore the importance of seeing death not just as a medical event but as a profound human experience. Inspired by the wisdom of Cicely Saunders, we discuss how education, kindness, and support can restore the sacredness of both life and death. You'll discover resources like the Good Death, Good Life Masterclass and the Confident Caregiver Course, designed to equip you with essential skills for compassionate care. By preparing for the end of life, we not only enhance our daily experiences and relationships but also empower ourselves to live fully and without regrets.   SIGN UP FOR THE "GOOD DEATH" SEMINAR SERIES on January 29th at 7pm ET - Click here The Good Death Seminar Series will be hosted LIVE on Zoom!

What happens when we embrace the reality of death instead of fearing it? Join me, Suzanne O'Brien, founder of the International Doula Givers Institute, on the Ask a Death Doula podcast as we embark on a transformative journey through the complex world of end-of-life care with The Good Death Seminar Series.

Together, we'll explore how aligning our intentions with compassion can redefine our understanding of what it truly means to experience a 'good death.' Throughout our engaging Good Death Seminar Series, we delve into the intricacies of end-of-life care within the current medical system, questioning if we've forgotten that death is a natural part of life. Through personal anecdotes, from patients like Vivian to families navigating the difficult medical landscape, we highlight the necessity of a purpose-driven approach. We'll discuss the lost art of dying, dissecting cultural and language barriers that obscure the reality of mortality and urging for a return to empathy and understanding. Our journey doesn't stop there. We address the commercialization of death and the urgency of respecting individual end-of-life wishes. By sharing poignant stories, like that of oncology patient Maureen, we examine how a supportive and informed environment can empower people facing the end of life. With a focus on compassion and personal responsibility, we explore how each of us, with the right education and support, can foster a world where everyone has the opportunity to experience a good death.

George is most well known as the host of George Poveromo's World Of Saltwater Fishing television series.However, for over 35 years, George has been on the stage shairing his vast amount of fishing knowledge across the United States with his national seminar series. The National Seminar Series is held annualy from January through March.This informative series features some of the most well known captains across the US. We are excoted to have this series coming to our area in March to conclude the 3 months of smeinars on Saturday the 2nd of March. You can find more info and get your space reserved by visitng their website at www.nationalseminarseries.com. These information packed semimnars combine both the best in local captains as well as a mix of national speakers. This combination allows an opportunity for us to gain a wealth of knowledge and for many of us, it is the chance to straighten out the learning curve that this sport can throw at us.whether a seasoned veteran or a brand new angler, you will walk away with a lot of valuable information from these seminars. The cost is minimal compared to the plethora of information that is shared with seminar guests. You also recieve an awesome package from the many sponsoras when you register as well as the opportunity at thousands of dollars in items from some of the industry leading companies that are involved in presenting the series. George and Capt E talk a number of things in the show and that includes hearting some of George's experiences filming this seasons shows as well as a couple stories about some of his most prizewd catches. This includes a 142 poound wahoo he caughrt and several other big wahoo. With the SC Wahoo Series cranking up, George alsio shares some great tips for wahoo fishing and discusses the techniques that he feels work the best. The issues of increasing shark encounters for offhsore fishermen across the entire southeast Atlantic is dicussed as well. This has become a huge topic and concern for offshore fishermen. This is an issue in the crystal blue waters that surround the Bahamas and all the way up the coast of the United States. Something that George thinks that needs to be acted on quickly or we stand a chance at seeing some long term negative effects on ouir sport and the health of our fisheries. We hope you enjoy this episode and we hope to see you on March 2nd at Barefoot Resort for the seminar.

Commentary by Dr. Valentin Fuster

Today's episode is part of our Seminar Series, in which we facilitate discussions on work conducted by teams of academic researchers and practitioners that relates to one of four thematic topics: 1) Crime Reduction & Police Accountability, 2) Climate Change Governance, 3) Displacement, Migration, & Integration, and 4) Democracy, Conflict, & Polarization.This episode focuses on Displacement, Migration, and Integration,  presenting a discussion with researchers Yang-Yang Zhou (University of British Columbia) and Jason Lyall (Dartmouth College) about the results from a randomized controlled trial conducted during a period of conflict in Kandahar, Afghanistan. The study analyzed whether prolonged contact improved relationships between local residents and IDPs, through a vocational skills training program that emphasized hands-on collaborative learning. Bret Barrowman (International Republican Institute) serves as a discussant and Alexandra Scacco, EGAP member and Senior Research Fellow in the Institutions and Political Inequality unit at WZB, moderates the conversation. 

Creation vs. Evolution: What is the big deal, and why does it even matter? Ever wonder what Scripture says about scientific topics as discussed in mainstream circles? Does Darwinism align with God's design for mankind, or were humans created uniquely and much differently than modern scientific philosophical ideas and hypotheses?I had the blessing of teaching at the Liberty Christian Academy (LCA) annual Educator's conference Nov. 21-22 on various science topics.This audio features an hour-long commentary of how Darwinism and God's Word cannot co-exist  when viewed through a literal reading of Genesis.In this seminar, I discuss the philosophy behind Darwinism, its roots, its impact on culture as determined by secular scientists.Check out other episodes on:1.

Ever wonder what Scripture says about scientific topics as discussed in mainstream circles? Does the Earth have to be billions of years old in order for a Creationist to be considered a valid 'expert' on the subject? Or, does Scripture refute the notion that the big bang theory HAD to have occurred billions of years old? What about science itself? What do the modern principles show us in light of God's Word?I had the blessing of teaching at the Liberty Christian Academy (LCA) annual Educator's conference Nov. 21-22 on various science topics.This audio features an hour-long commentary of how science and Scripture do not violate one another's interpretations when viewed through a literal reading of Genesis.In this seminar, I discuss the philosophy behind the Earth's age being billions of years old as determined by secular scientists.

Dinosaurs!!!! Everyone loves them! But, have they been accurately described in their existence on Earth? Did they really go extinct 65 million years ago by way of a large asteroid/meteor that crashed into the Yucatan Peninsula? Or, were they created by God during His 6-day Creation week and were judged (as every other land animal and human) during the Flood (Gen. 6-8) around 4,400-4,600 years ago?I had the blessing of teaching at the Liberty Christian Academy (LCA) annual Educator's conference Nov. 21-22 on various science topics.This audio features an hour-long commentary of how dinosaurs were created with mankind between 6-10,000 years ago  when viewed through a literal reading of Genesis.In this seminar, I discuss the philosophy behind why the dinosaurs are often neglected as a key witnessing tool for people of all ages!Check out other episodes on:1.

We've all heard about someone like this. A young, ambitious entrepreneur taking VC funding in order to supercharge their success rate for a dream they've been working on their whole lives, only for the rug to be torn out from under them for not hitting benchmarks, having their company stripped down for parts. You can take funding for your start up, but has anyone asked if you SHOULD? In our first ever Seminar Series episode, Jon and Sam go into the pitfalls of taking someone else's money to fund your dream, and what happens to your company down the road if you become just another company begging for dollars. Are you interested in taking funding for your start up? Let's talk about it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/businesstherapypodcast/message

This is a bonus podcast from Greenville Community Church and East North Church in Greenville, South Carolina included in our Seminar Series. Holy Scripture and Christian tradition claim human beings have a soul; however, most neuroscientists claim belief in the soul is obsolete. It is said that human attributes once ascribed to the soul can now be ascribed to the brain, making belief in the soul superfluous. In this talk, w examine the case against the existence of the soul and proceed to demonstrate the falsity of the claims made by neuroscientists. We then proceed to establish solid ground for belief in the soul through the works of Aristotle and St. Thomas Aquinas. Last, we underscore the importance of the human soul in relation to God.

“We all live in the same physical world and environment, it's just the demands of your sport may have some degrees of variant within that.” One of the things I try to do is bring the people doing the research to The Seminar, and after writing the book on biomechanics of basketball, Dr. Petway is the go to in that discipline.

“You do what they can do, build in what they can do, circumvent the weaknesses and try to get them to that.” “There's nothing really new, science has helped us understand the effects of things better, great coaches have made us understand it from their experiences.

“I tell young coaches and young trainers all the time, just because you have the title of strength coach at this school or the title of trainer at this school that really doesn't mean anything, it means absolutely nothing other than the paycheck.”  “Ultimately, if the kids come to you and the athletes come to you and you help them and you come up with answers for them they're going to keep coming to you.” I got the opportunity to chop it up with Boo Schexnayder in this week's episode of The Podcast.

“If you have the outputs you can have compensations and breakdowns in your technique. If you don't have the output and you don't have the ability to be a freak athlete then you better move really, really well and create impulse at the right time.”  In this week's episode of The Podcast I got to catch up with Zach Dechant.

“What am I going to do for this kid? Because he doesn't even know what makes him good. Genuinely, we can say we do, we have no idea what makes these people good.”  In today's episode of The Podcast I sit down and chat with Freak Strength's Mike Guadango. During the 32-minute chat we talk about: 1)     The crazy world of being a “sport specialist” and the ebbs and flows of it that he's lived through.2)     The role asymmetries in sport, and why coaches may not want to “correct” some.3)     A unique method to build “work capacity” in rehab that has helped his athletes improve at a greater rate. 4)     The role of psychology in high level sport and the mental gaps between the good and the elite. 5)     The misconceived connection between aesthetics and performance.6)     Understanding that the outliers do things differently because they're outliers, and maybe “correcting” those “mistakes” is not what's best for their performance.  A huge thanks to Exxentric for supporting the show.
