So, our Jack Daniel's episode (Episode #56) is by far our most popular download, and if you're listening to this, it's almost guaranteed that you've already listened to that. But to recap, on that episode, we highlighted their two new (at the time) Bottled-in-Bond expressions—Tennessee Whiskey and Triple Mash (a mix of Tennessee, Rye, and Single Malt). Well, now they've released Bonded Rye, and Shavonne and Sue join us in order to answer the question: Does it match the deliciousness of their previous bonded expressions, or does it somehow fall short because they're not really known for their ryes? Bash that right-pointing triangle and find out!

Shavonne shares her personal journey of overcoming addiction and her motivation to start Throttle & Thrive. The conversation highlights the need for a safe space for law enforcement officers to seek help and the importance of addressing childhood trauma, vocational trauma, and addiction in their recovery process.    Shavonne shares her perspective on the importance of addressing the root causes of addiction and trauma in law enforcement professionals, highlights the dangers of long-term medication use and the benefits of holistic approaches to medical issues while emphasizing the need to treat the problem, not just the symptoms,    Takeaways   Law enforcement officers often face challenges in seeking help for mental health issues and addiction due to fear of stigma and potential career consequences. Throttle and Thrive provides a safe space and specialized treatment for first responders and veterans struggling with addiction and trauma. Childhood trauma, vocational trauma, and addiction often intersect in the lives of law enforcement officers, leading to a need for comprehensive and holistic recovery programs. Addressing mental health and addiction in law enforcement requires a combination of therapy, support groups, and spiritual exploration.   For more information on Throttle & Thrive check them out online at:   www.throttleandthrive.com   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/throttle_and_thrive/    Until Next Time…out of role!

Today, I'm joined by Shavonne Allen, Joel Yates, and Dazié Rustin Grego-Sykes, three members of Skywatchers, a performance ensemble based in the Tenderloin neighborhood of San Francisco. Skywatchers is an interdisciplinary, intergenerational, mixed-ability, and multicultural performance group that aims to amplify the voices of Tenderloin residents. Their mix of movement, music, visual art, and spoken word get to the core of what the Tenderloin is, which, despite the despair that is visible on the streets, is a place of abundant generosity. In Dazié's words, community members in the Tenderloin have been given a limited view of themselves based on what outsiders see on the surface. The Tenderloin is an inclusive neighborhood where people support their neighbors and forge social spaces despite the hostile architecture that discourages social gathering in the area. Skywatchers performances explore the real, raw, lived experiences of ensemble members and life in the Tenderloin, but also share a vision of how things could be. Shavonne, Joel, and Dazié highlight the impact their art has on the neighborhood and reflect on how their lives have changed since joining the ensemble. Listen, rate, and review Art Heals All Wounds on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher, Castbox, or on your favorite podcast platform.Topics Covered:●      The history of the Tenderloin neighborhood and how it became a containment zone for the city's biggest unsolved social issues ●      How Shavonne, Joel, and Dazié were introduced to Skywatchers ●      The story behind the ‘Opulence Portraits' and ‘Towards Opulence' pieces ●      Examples of what hostile architecture looks like, particularly in downtown San Francisco●      What Shavonne, Joel, and Dazié have gained from being part of Skywatchers●      What other Tenderloin community members gain from the work of Skywatchers Guest Info:●      Towards Opulence, the Opera at The Cutting Ball Theater  ●      Skywatchers Website●      Skywatchers on Instagram●      Skywatchers on Facebook Follow Me:●      My Instagram ●      My LinkedIn●      Art Heals All Wounds Website●      Art Heals All Wounds Instagram●      Art Heals All Wounds Twitter ●      Art Heals All Wounds Facebook●      Art Heals All Wounds Newsletter

In the lead up to International Women's Day and during Women's History Month, you'll probably hear a variation of the phrase 'women supporting women' over and over again. But this feel-good trope is more than just a generic cliché or convenient marketing buzz term. It's a real, tangible and invaluable way to thrive in your career. And our host, Avery Francis, is proof. On this episode of Girlboss Radio, Avery invites two of her close friends and confidants: Dr. Sarah Saska and Shavonne Hasfal-McIntosh. Dr. Sarah is a former academic who started her own DE&I consultancy firm called Feminuity. Shavonne the director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Wealthsimple. Given their jobs, Sarah and Shav *could* be in competition with Avery, who helms her own DE&I workplace consultancy. Instead, the three have chosen to be friends—the kind of friends who can share in the frustrations, struggles and sticky moments they face in their industry. This episode gets into Shav and Sarah's career journeys, their approach to job hopping and why the secret to a successful career comes down to finding your own magic sauce.
