Joey and Tonya Madia spent two years “investigating” the Webb Library in Morehead City North Carolina, where they claim that their investigation turned up a portal (interdimensional), an interdimensional creature, hallways filled with spirits and ghosts, some of them very angry, as well as a UFO connection. The ghosts and spirits, as well as the interdimensional being, were seen through the psychic abilities of Tanya who claims to be a psychic even though in the bio that she supplied our producer there is no mention of “psychic” ability what so ever. Here is the bio that was provided to our producer for Tanya: "Tonya Madia is a Registered Yoga Teacher, Reiki Master Teacher, and Licensed Massage Therapist. She is passionate about helping others on their journey. Her lifelong experiences with the paranormal led her to the field of paranormal investigating, and she has been working in the field since 2009. Tonya offers workshops on developing intuition, yoga, meditation, and dreamwork. She has written articles about clairvoyance, yoga, and meditation, and is the co-writer of the book for the award-winning short musical, The Think it Thru Revue, which toured the southwest United States promoting abstinence and teen pregnancy prevention." Here is the bio that was provided to our producer for Joey: "Joey Madia, when he is not investigating strange phenomena, is an award-winning screenwriter, audio dramatist, playwright, novelist, actor, and director.

(EP 57) Got a few minutes? Let's talk SpaghettiO's! Unexpected English always brings you fun ways to practice your English listening, so subscribe and tell your friends! First, I talk about this weird canned food. (Transcript help!) Next: A very very easy lesson: How to prepare SpaghettiO's (So easy! No transcript) Finally: A sweet story about how a town helped a little autistic girl get the only food she will eat: SpaghettiO's! (Transcript help!) All this and some of that famous SpaghettiO music! Listen, have fun, and subscribe! --------------------------- [INTRO] Hi everybody and welcome back to another episode of Unexpected English, your favorite English podcast! Now, this episode is *not* about your mom's spaghetti. Yeah, I know that was lead-in song. But it's not about your mom's spaghetti. It's about something else, called SpaghettiOs. Huh? SpaghettiOs, Yeah. Just listen. (Jingle) Okay, SpaghettiOs. You may be asking yourself, what the heck are spaghettiOs? You know, if you, if you ever saw them, you would have the same question, because it's something a little strange. spaghettiOs are a canned pasta in little circles, little O's. Yeah, it's a it's a kind of food. I think they say it's food, I'm not so sure. It was invented in 1965. SpaghettiOs, invented in 1965. And it is, as I say, a kind of round pasta in a tomato sauce that maybe is good for little kids to eat. I guess that's it. So, why a story about SpaghettiOs? Well, actually, I heard a real life report about spaghettios and it reminded me that they existed, and it reminded me of the famous advertising jingle. (Jingle) That's it. Oh-oh, SpaghettiOs. So I thought I would have a little bit of fun with that by giving you a little taste of the music, and then a very simple, “how to” for SpaghettiOs, I guess you could call it “how to SpaghettiO” And then in the end, the actual news report. And the news interview does have the transcript in the show notes. So meanwhile, you have this, you have a little SpaghettiOs, you have a how-to, and then the news, and I’ll be quiet and we’ll get going, so let’s go! --------------------------- HOW TO: (no transcript) --------------------------- [STORY] All right let's talk SpaghettiOs. OK first interview I've ever begun like that! This is Crystal McDonal. Crystal’s unlikely obsession with canned pasta began after the birth of her daughter Ashland. Ashland is autistic. And earlier this year she stopped eating food altogether with the sole exception of SpaghettiOs and meatballs. Teachers and therapists were working to expand her palate when the pandemic hit, clearing grocery store shelves of a lot more than just toilet paper. We couldn't find SpaghettiOs anywhere. It was like they were there one day and the next, they were gone! Wait, why was there a run on SpaghettiOs? I don't know if people thought, like, if the world ended, you could survive on SpaghettiOs. I just know that I was losing my mind trying to find them. And that's when the miracle happened. Like prepackaged manna from heaven, SpaghettiOs just started showing up. On her doorstep, in the mail. Hundreds of cans from people in the community who’d heard about Ashland in the local paper and wanted to help. If it wasn't for the kindness of people like that we would not have gotten by. SpaghettiOs is hardly a culinary cause célèbre. But in this home at least, every can is now fortified with faith in humanity. --------------------------- Enjoy the podcast?

In this episode short Motivational Story

Holly works with a person’s guides, angels, ancestors’, soul fractals etc, and she taps into all of who they are in this dimension and others, to assist in guiding them to take the best care of the client. She clears away attachments and beings that are blocking their reception to understanding and healing. She is so incredibly talented and educated in helping her clients heal from all sort of disempowerments. Listen in while I speak with her and learn about what she has to say about her experiences with Spirit, for the greater good of the people she helps. Holly's Story: All my life I have been a "service to others" kind of person, who always was an advocate of those in need and fighting injustice. During the autumn of 2014, one day while participating in my first live, world wide meditation, I had a golden ball of energy enter my heart from my back. The results of that encounter awakened my soul, my purpose & made my palms burn, all of which lead to the beginning of Quintessence Healing Arts. My life since then has been devoted to discovering the reason I came here to earth. As well as the practical implementation of my talents as found encoded within my activated DNA, to promote whole soul wellness for the beings who are hungering for more...During this process of peeling off the layers of external control from my soul through numerous therapies, my frequency reached a level in which my Divine soul counterpart could come into my life. My goodness did my spiritual life change even more quickly due to we being a catalyst for each other. The one of most amazing result of that coming together and agreeing to our soul contract, was the ability to create "new etheric souls". It was from a suggestion given to me from one of those new souls, that my "Creation Oil" came to be. Imagine an edible oil infused with hundreds of their life force energy, magic, blessings and crystal infusions that act like spiritual, programmable (you tell it what you need from it each time you use it too) "stem cells" for your highest good. I also add to each oil order, individual essences according to your spiritual teams recommendations. Speaking "Light Language" also manifested into my life, along with so much more. There are so many stories to share...

Welcome to Episode #042 of the Empowering Ability Podcast/ Blog. Today’s episode is about ‘Understanding the Sibling Experience, with Helen Ries.’ Before we get into the content of this episode, first some housekeeping because it has been awhile since you have heard from me.   Almost 4 months in fact.   In December 2017, I shared with you that the podcast would be taking a break for a couple of months so that I could develop new content and complete a few projects. However, life got busier than expected; with helping to run my family’s business, finishing the construction of my new house, supporting my sister to move out of my parent’s house, running my coaching practice for leaders and families working to create incredible ordinary lives for people with disabilities, and working on the adult sibling research we are going to share with you today.   Something had to give, and it was the podcast - even though I love podcasting. To give you an idea, publishing a 1- hour episode is about 10 hours of work, as I do all the recording, editing, writing, graphics, and publishing myself. So, moving forward I will be releasing an episode every 2 weeks, which is a much more manageable pace than weekly, also considering this podcast is currently free. I am a considering a ‘pay what you can model’ for those of you that are getting a ton of value from this podcast and wish to contribute to the production of the podcasts and the costs associated with it. I want this information to remain open and widely available to everyone, and this type of model will enable that. With all of that said, I have still been recording content over the last 4 months and I have some incredible conversations that I will be bringing to you over the next couple of months.   I’d love to hear from some of you to learn what has really resonated with you over the first 42 episodes. This will help me as I craft new content to bring you more of what you find valuable. Also, send me the names of guests you would love to hear on the podcast. You can send me an email at eric@ericgoll.com.   Okay, enough housekeeping.     Today, my guest today is Helen Ries. Helen is a sibling, who supports her brother Paul, and they live together in Ottawa, Ontario. Helen also joined me on episode 9, which you can listen to here, where she talks in depth about her experience as a sibling and shares her insights. Helen is also an evaluator and consultant in the not-for-profit sector with an interest in social justice and poverty reduction, you can check out her work on her website.   Helen and I, discuss the research we have been doing to understand the life experience of adult siblings. The purpose of this research is to understand siblings so that we can better support adult siblings with resources, some of which we intend to create.   There were actually three of us completing this research, the third person being Becky Rossi. Becky just became the mother to her 3rd child, and wasn’t able to join us on the podcast – but here is a brief overview of our stories:   Helen’s Story: All her life Helen knew that one day she would be responsible for her brother’s care. When that day arrived, it was early, unexpected and fast. The shock of suddenly becoming a caregiver still runs through her. There are moments when she remembers a time when she could go away for the weekend without planning it or when she didn’t have the nag of constant worry. It has been so far a difficult journey, but she is very proud of how her brother has thrived with her care and how their relationship has grown.   Becky’s Story: Becky has spent the last seven years championing broad systems change through building community-based, non-traditional solutions to issues of isolation and vulnerability, both through her long-time work with P4P and as the sibling of an adult brother with Asperger’s Syndrome. Becky has a close relationship with her brother and – together with her sister and parents – they navigate the challenges and opportunities of creating a meaningful life, secure future and strong family.   Eric’s Story: Sitting from his work desk Eric received a call from his distressed mother exclaiming "I just can't do it anymore". She was referring to caring for his sister, with a DD, 31 years old at the time. Eric had a decision to make – continue to stay arm’s length from his family, or jump in and play the role of a loving brother and loving son that he knew he could be. This started Eric's journey in supporting families with a loved one with a DD (including his own), through personal coaching and educating.   So, this is a big lead up to what we have learned, here it is….     The Sibling Life Journey   We looked at the common themes in the life of a sibling over the stages of a sibling’s life. These themes might not apply to every sibling’s life, but these are our observations from conversation with many adult siblings, and they line up well with the data we collected in a survey with over 360 adult sibling respondents.   0 years-18 years old: At a young age we get an understanding of disability, and we notice differences between ourselves and our sibling. Our parents are taking our brother or sister to many appointments and are often providing much more care to our brother or sister than they are for us. We are often asked to help out, and many of us just jump in wanting to help. This leads to siblings maturing faster than normal and developing a strong sense for caring for others at an early age. We also become our brother or sister’s protector. No one is going to mess with our brother or sister at school, or out in public without hearing about it from us. The maturity, carer, and protector are traits and values that we often carry with us throughout our lives.   18 years – 29 years old: At 18 typically siblings move out and go through a big growth and exploration phase. We get an advanced education, or head out into the working world, we try many jobs to see what we like, we travel. And our brother or sister, from age 21 on, is often living at our parents’ home with little to do and is actually in decline in terms of growth. During this time in a sibling’s life they will often describe having a feeling of guilt, as they are experiencing what life has to offer, and their brother or sister isn’t having the same opportunity. Siblings want their brother or sister to have the same life opportunities, but they don’t know how to support them to do so.   30 years – 39 years old: This stage of a sibling’s life is typically focused on career building and starting a family of their own. These things take a lot of energy and can mean a little less connection with our brother or sister and parents. This feeling of guilt can continue. We want better for our brother or sister but not really knowing how to help and use our influence. Siblings are often pushed out of the conversation my parents about their brother or sister because parents don’t want that ‘burden’ to be passed onto the other sibling.   40 years – 49 years old: Siblings have described having a ‘looming’ feeling in this life stage. More often than not, their brother or sister with a disability is still living with their parents, and the parent’s health is starting to decline due to age. Siblings can see this impending crisis coming, whether it is conscious or unconscious - it is keeping them up at night. What is going to happen when my parents can’t support my brother and sister? It is on me.   50+ years old: The parents decline to a point where they cannot provide care for their child with a disability, and someone else needs to take over that role. Many siblings step up to fill the role, all while dealing with their parents decline, their career, and their family. This can be a very challenging time period in a sibling’s life.       The Survey Findings:   There are 7 key findings that we share in the ‘Understanding the Sibling Experience’ report, here is a small glimpse into a couple of the findings that Helen and I discuss on the podcast. I recommend you check out the report, hosted by Partners For Planning (P4P), if you are interested in reading about all of the findings.   The Findings:   Where are our brothers and sisters with a disability living? Well it turns out that 85.6% of our brothers and sisters aged 20 to 29 years old are living with their parents. In comparison, the Canadian national average is 34.7% for people aged 20-29 years old. The percentage of people with disabilities living with their parents stays high well into the 40-49 year old age bracket, at 58.5%.   What are the current challenges identified by siblings? Siblings identified the mental health of their brother or sister and the mental health of their parents as the most frequent challenge they face. Followed by hosing options for their brother or sister, managing relationships, and emotional supports for themselves.   If you are interested in the other 5 findings, check out the report here.         Our Recommendations:   In our report, we outline 8 recommendations for siblings, families, organizations, and government to consider.   These recommendations include:   A deeper study of siblings Adult siblings connect with other adult siblings to share their experiences Development of resources and tools for adult siblings Support for mental health of our families Innovative housing solutions Poverty reduction Siblings are involved in the family planning discussions Organizations reach out to siblings and support them.   I encourage you to read our report to learn more about these recommendations in depth, click here.       The Sibling Collaborative:   So, what is next for us? (Helen, Becky, and I)   We have done a lot of thinking about what we have learned about siblings and we have created a new project, called ‘The Sibling Collaborative’ to support siblings needs.   The purpose of the Sibling Collaborative is to ‘Connect Siblings and Strengthen Families’.     The Sibling Collaborative has a core set of values that guides our work:   Realizing Change with Compassion: We take action with the critical input and consideration of our brothers and sisters with a DD and our families.   Mutual Respect: We give people agency over their own lives, with consideration for all those involved.   Collective Solutions: We find a way forward by learning, working and co-creating together.   Unlocking Potential: We hold a big and bold vision for our brothers and sisters as well as our families. Our intrinsic creativity and resourcefulness knows no limit.   For this collaborative to be a collaborative we need others to collaborate with! We would love other siblings, self-advocates, family members, and organizations that share these values to partner with us on this journey. You can join the sibling collective mailing list here, to be updated on the journey as it unfolds.   Helen leaves us with a quote from friend to all siblings, Don Meyer, “If you want to invest in the long-term well-being of people with developmental disabilities, you need to invest in their brothers and sisters.”   Thank you for reading to today's blog! If you liked this episode, and think someone you know would benefit, please share it with them! Be a part of the change to think differently about disability.     Love & Respect, Eric Goll         Resources:   The Sibling Collaborative Facebook Page: Click Here: Sibling Network   Join The Sibling Collaborative Mailing List: Click Here   Email: info@siblingcollaborative.org   Understanding the Sibling Experience Report: Click Here       If you received value from this content please leave me a review on iTunes.
