Many graduate students in psychology, counseling, and social work struggle to find their theoretical and clinical footing. As graduate students get closer to graduation, many feel under-prepared and ill-equipped to provide effective therapy to clients. Despite the differences between training in a depth-oriented model like NARM and studying traditional coursework required for a clinical degree, one student celebrates bridging these two different modes of learning to become a more confident and effective beginning therapist. On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth welcomes Caleb McNaughton, a graduate student currently seeking licensure in Tennessee. The pair discuss Caleb's path that led him to enroll in the NARM Therapist Training as a graduate student. They also explore the friction that developed as Caleb began bringing back into his graduate program what he was learning in the NeuroAffective Relational Model, leading him to question, and at times push back on, his graduate school education and training. About Caleb McNaughton: Caleb McNaughton, a graduate student, is currently seeking licensure in Chattanooga, Tennessee, alongside training in complex developmental trauma. Caleb received his undergrad in Sports Management from Covenant College. After graduation, Caleb spent a year as a missionary in Mexico. It was during this time that he felt led to pursue a degree in counseling. Caleb was introduced to the Neuro Affective Relational Model (NARM) through his father Jason McNaughton and his colleague Heather Parker, both NARM Master Therapists in Birmingham, AL.

Varmt välkommen till ett nytt avsnitt av Idrott - och ledarskapspodden. Det har blivit dags för avsnitt 157 och i det här avsnittet får du möta golfproffset Anna Magnusson! Anna är uppvuxen i Stockholm och började spela golf redan som 9-åring tillsammans med sin familj. Efter att ha kombinerat golf med flera andra idrotter under uppväxten, bestämde hon sig i gymnasiet för att satsa helhjärtat på golfen. Hon gick vidare till college i USA och tog en examen i Sports Management från Morehead State University, innan hon blev proffs 2017. Men resan har inte varit spikrak – Anna säkrade först sitt kort till Europatouren (LET) 2020, men pga av pandemin blev det inte så mycket tävlingar, men 2022 var hon på plats igen. Hon förlorade kortet 2023, men kämpade sig tillbaka via LET Access Series (LETAS) och blev den första någonsin att kvala in till LET via LETAS två gånger. En prestation som kräver både talang och en enorm mental styrka. Hennes vinst på Terre Blanche Ladies Open och en sjätteplats på Order of Merit 2024 vittnar om just det. I det här samtalet pratar vi om motgångar, framgångar, glädjen i spelet, mental träning och hur hon hittat sitt sätt att prestera – och må bra – både på och utanför banan. Du får veta hur Anna gör för att behålla fokus och varför det är viktigt att släppa taget om resultatet när hon tävlar. Anna ger dig konkreta tips över hur du släpper taget om dåliga slag och fortsätter behålla närvaron, oavsett hur det går. Det här är lärdomar som alla kan ta med sig in i sin vardag, oavsett om du är golfare eller inte. Vi kommer också in på hur det är att ha en tränare på distans, hur hon bygger sin vardag i balans med sitt proffsliv. Varmt välkommen till ett avsnitt fyllt med kunskap och inspiration!

How can 150 acres of urban public green space benefit a community beyond recreational access? How can a golf course address stormwater runoff and pollution issues, improve water quality, revitalize habitats, and improve biodiversity?  How can it create partnerships and programs with other nonprofits to improve access and inclusion for underrepresented populations (while keeping the game affordable for all)? Andrew Szunyog has dedicated his career to improving the relationship between the game of golf and its surrounding communities. Municipal golf courses are becoming community centers to facilitate a healthy environment and places for people to go.  As the Director of Sustainability at National Links Trust, he's laid out the most comprehensive framework for sustainability at a golf course that I've ever heard. His report outlines four buckets addressing emissions and runoffs, resource efficiency, waste management, and community and environmental stewardship. Topics covered: Andrew's career journey to the Director of Sustainability at National Links Trust [1:39] After graduating from the University of Florida in 2003 with a degree in Business and Sports Management, Andrew got a minimum-wage job at a local course working in outside operations. He quickly learned he wanted to spend his life in golf. Six months later, his dad passed away unexpectedly. His inheritance allowed him to complete a 16-month program at Professional Golfers Career College. He fell in love with running tournaments.  He got an internship with the Arnold Palmer Invitational in 2006 and 2007 where he learned volunteer management, spectator management, ticket sales, and more.  He completed a research project on “What does Sustainability in Golf Mean?” and what organizations are doing to be responsible for their impact on the environment. He realized there was an intersection between social and environmental justice and wanted to understand how golf fits in that. He wants the tournaments he runs to have some higher purpose that provides value.  Together with Alex Baxter and Andre Paul, they created a golf sustainability mastermind group which transformed into a newsletter and blog. They created a platform for the golf industry to tell its sustainability journey.  When he learned that The National Links Trust formed, he made himself available for volunteer opportunities.  In 2021, he was working with Blue Strike Environmental when National Links Trust reached out to him to lead a sustainability panel for their first annual symposium on municipal golf. Afterward, NLT asked him to become their in-house sustainability professional.  The origin, purpose, and mission of the National Links Trust [00:26:19]  The National Links Trust is a 501C3 non-profit organization that has a 50-year lease with the National Park Service to manage the three public golf courses in D.C.  The goal over the 50-year lease is to renovate all three courses to give them a fresh look, built with sustainability in mind, presenting the historical significance of what the courses mean to the city.  They will break ground on Rock Creek Park on November 1st, 2024. They've set a two-year timeline for the renovations of each course.  Developing a sustainability report for the National Links Trust [00:30:17]  Andrew is writing a sustainability report and created frameworks to address the impact of their operations, how they will address root causes, and rebuild with sustainability in mind. Bucket one accounts for emissions and runoffs. It's looking at water quality monitoring to reduce waste pollution, looking at reducing emissions, and addressing nutrient and pesticide management. Bucket two looks at resource efficiency, covering energy audits, electrifying the infrastructure, lighting audits, upgraded HVAC systems, window tinting, automatic on/off switches, and water efficiency. This also includes retrofitting and upgrading their historical structures.  Bucket three is waste management procurement. Their goal is to eliminate single-use practices, ban plastic tees, and work with vendors to make sure products are sent in compostable plastic packaging. They'll create partnerships to become zero waste.  The fourth bucket is geared toward community and environmental stewardship, improving access to the game, and developing partnerships that promote sustainability, climate resilience, and social and environmental justice. They'll create volunteer programs, community programming, internships, and much more.  What's motivating the reinvention of municipal golf courses [00:44:40]  Their mission is to show the value that municipal courses have as community assets. These places are entry points for well over half of people who play golf.  If a golf course is viewed as a park, money won't be set aside for upkeep. But if it's viewed as an asset, it becomes a sustainable business that can make money.  What drives Andrew to make a difference in golf sustainability [00:50:18]  Andrew strives to ensure that the game of golf continues for future generations, remaining affordable, accessible, and sustainable.  He hopes that future golf professionals can work in an industry that's sustainable, responsible, and accountable for its actions and operations.  Andrew's ultimate vision is that when people think of golf, they think of municipal golf. It's the place that drives community change within the sports world.  Resources & People Mentioned The Greatest Game Ever Played Professional Golfers Career College Connect with Andrew Szunyog National Links Trust Driving the Green Connect on LinkedIn Connect With Golf Sustainability LinkedIn  Facebook  Instagram X (Twitter) Subscribe to Golf Sustainability Apple Podcast  Spotify  Note: Timestamps provided are approximate.

Nate Boyer, the starting long snapper at the University of Texas, a Green Beret Bronze Star recipient and a First-Team Academic All-Big 12 Selection with a 3.84 GPA, was selected as the 2013 NFF Legacy Award Recipient.Nate Boyer graduated high school unsure about his path in life. He enrolled in community college, and he tried acting in Los Angeles while caring for autistic children to pay the rent. Looking for a challenge and to make a difference, he made his way to the Darfur region of Sudan to help in the refugee camps. The experience, coupled with his memories of 9/11, inspired him to enlist in the U.S. Army as a Special Forces candidate, and he became one of 11 from his class of 150 to graduate with a Green Beret. He has served in Iraq and Afghanistan, earning a Bronze Star for heroism in combat.Pausing from his military service, Boyer sought his next challenge, trying to walk-on to the Texas football team despite never having played on an organized team because his high school did not sponsor the sport. His tenacity and athletic prowess netted him a spot on the team as a defensive back, but he lacked the skills to contribute during live games. He analyzed the roster, and he saw a potential opening at long snapper. He mastered the position, earning a starting job the past two seasons.

It's no surprise as believers that we often face challenges and trials. After all, Jesus said, "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." Nonetheless, sometimes our trials are very intense and this can make us feel overwhelmed. However, we're not alone in this as some of the heroes of the faith had similar feelings. Appearing on Crosstalk to relate such biblical instances to our lives today was John Stamper. John is a professional coach and former public school teacher who left his career because of the enormous conflict between his beliefs and what he was required to teach. He graduated from home school and achieved a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education, Special Education, P.E. and Health along with a master's in Leadership and Sports Management. He was interviewed in reference to his most recent book, Courage to Stand: Profiles of Enduring Faith.John defined courage as the willingness to act despite fear and the obstacles in front of us. So why do some stand why others crumble? Where is your walk with the Lord? Do you have the courage to be used by Him as a doer and not just a hearer? Gain insights to these and other questions as John describes 9 different profiles of people ranging from biblical heroes to modern individuals who through enduring faith experienced God's presence in profound ways.
