Joseph Kallinger was no ordinary killer. He was a father, a shoemaker, and a man driven by persistent voices only he could hear. Alongside his 12 year-old son, he carried out a series of brutal crimes that stunned the nation, including robbery, sexual assault, and cold-blooded murder. Behind every act of violence was a twisted belief that he was fulfilling a divine mission one that would ultimately end in betrayal, tragedy, and death. The case of Joseph Kallinger remains to this day one of the most disturbing and bizarre cases in American true crime history.

In this week's episode, we dig into two deceptively simple questions: When does someone become a cancer survivor, and should palliative care be in the business of caring for them? Spoiler: It's more complicated than it seems. We've invited two palliative care doctors to talk about survivorship with us: Laura Petrillo, a physician-researcher at Mass General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and Laura Shoemaker, an outpatient palliative care doctor at the Cleveland Clinic. This episode is a must-listen for those navigating the evolving landscape of cancer care, and asking not just how we treat cancer, but how we support people who are living with it. If you want some further reading on survivorship, check out some of these articles: A NEJM article titled “Time to Study Metastatic-Cancer Survivorship” A ASCO publication that includes a section on survivorship - Patient-Centered Palliative Care for Patients With Advanced Lung Cancer A webinar on survivorship - Blending Survivorship and Palliative Care (NCI)

Since time immemorial BCBAs have looked at their seven-item array of candies and asked, “Why can't I do a preference assessment with huge items or unavailable activities?” Well, now you can with pictorial and/or video-based preference assessments! But don't take my word for it. Or, do take my word for it, but my word paired with the word of all the research on the subject. And if you're already using this technology in your preference assessments, shouldn't you better double-check that you're actually following the evidence-based guidelines. Or did you just assume that the picture of hanging out with friends playing on the iPad must be equivalent to the real thing? This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.

Edna Frimpong, known as "The Shoemaker Girl," takes us on her entrepreneurial journey from hammering soles in her father's workshop to running a thriving footwear business. With a first-class degree in her pocket, she chose to elevate her family's craft rather than pursue conventional career paths—a decision that raised eyebrows but ultimately proved visionary.Starting with absolutely no funding during the COVID-19 pandemic, Edna's resourcefulness shines through as she shares how she borrowed smartphones to photograph products and leveraged WhatsApp for initial sales. The turning point came through an unlikely source: a university assignment requiring students to create social media accounts led her to LinkedIn, where her authentic storytelling about shoemaking stood out on a platform dominated by corporate professionals.What sets Edna's approach apart is her embrace of partnerships, breaking from the common tendency among Ghanaian entrepreneurs to maintain sole ownership. By bringing together team members with complementary skills—someone with financial expertise, another with technical knowledge—she created a sustainable business model focused on product excellence. Her philosophy of "legacy thinking over survivor thinking" has guided key business decisions, including reinvesting profits rather than pursuing immediate gratification.Beyond business growth, Edna's "Shoe for the Shoeless" initiative demonstrates her commitment to social impact. This community project, initially funded through proceeds from her book, has evolved into a sustainable giving program supported by her growing network. Her experience offers profound wisdom for entrepreneurs: know your niche, understand the power of branding, develop financial discipline through investment, and create your own template for success rather than following societal expectations.Subscribe to Konnected Minds Podcast for more inspiring conversations with entrepreneurs who are redefining success on their own terms while making meaningful impact in their communities.Support the showWatch the video episode of this on YouTube - https://linktr.ee/konnectedminds

"Every part of us, even the ones we've been taught to reject, holds the potential for growth and healing." – Mili Shoemaker Aggression in the playroom is a familiar topic—but what happens when it's not coming from the child, but from within us as therapists? This is a conversation we rarely hear in the play therapy world, yet it's a reality many therapists silently grapple with. In this eye-opening episode, Lisa sits down with Mili Shoemaker, a seasoned play therapist, Synergetic Play Therapy trainer, and clinical supervisor, to explore what it means when therapists feel their own aggression arise in session. With honesty and compassion, Lisa and Mili unpack the discomfort, shame, and stigma that often accompany these experiences. They dive into the protective patterns that emerge when we try to suppress these feelings, and how true healing begins when we stop rejecting these parts of ourselves. Together, Lisa and Mili explore: ✨ The taboo of therapist aggression – Why this conversation is missing in the play therapy world and why it needs to be heard. ✨ Recognizing therapist activation – How to notice when your own history, protective mechanisms, and triggers show up in the playroom. ✨ Befriending aggression – How shifting from judgment to curiosity about our own aggressive parts creates deeper therapeutic presence. ✨ Embodied expression vs. catharsis – Why aggression isn't something to suppress, but also isn't about explosive release. ✨ The unmet needs beneath aggression – Understanding what these feelings are signaling and how to meet them with self-compassion. ✨ Breaking free from shame – How to reframe aggression as part of our full humanity rather than something to fear or reject. ✨ Integration and authenticity – Why making space for all parts of ourselves strengthens our ability to hold space for our clients. This episode is an invitation to step into a conversation that has been long overdue—to acknowledge, explore, and ultimately embrace a part of ourselves that holds the potential for healing and growth.
