The post How to Talk about Parenting a Child on the Spectrum with Kate Swenson, Adrian Wood, and Carrie Cariello appeared first on Dr Robyn Silverman.

Death and aging are universal human experiences, yet few of us feel fully prepared to navigate them. In this deeply thoughtful conversation, Amber Albee Swenson draws from her unique perspective as both a private elderly companion and nursing home worker to offer wisdom that transcends typical end-of-life discussions.Swenson walks us through practical preparation strategies regardless of our current life stage. For those still in their prime, she emphasizes that daily health habits aren't just about present comfort but future independence. "Thank God that you still can climb those stairs," she advises, encouraging a perspective shift that views physical capabilities as gifts rather than burdens.When discussing the caregiving journey, Swenson's compassion shines through as she acknowledges its inherent messiness. Having watched her own mother's struggle with Alzheimer's, she offers the profound yet simple goal of making loved ones "feel safe and loved" rather than striving for unattainable perfection. Her practical advice on advocacy, family dynamics, and recognizing when additional help is needed comes with reassurance that seeking support doesn't represent failure.The conversation takes a particularly moving turn when examining the distinctly Christian approach to end-of-life care. Swenson shares powerful stories of seemingly unconscious patients responding to prayer and Scripture, reminding us that our spiritual presence matters even when words seem futile. "This is not the time to settle scores," she emphasizes, encouraging families to focus on grace, forgiveness, and the promises of eternity.Perhaps most challenging is Swenson's call for Christians to overcome hesitation about sharing faith in healthcare settings. "Stop being so afraid of offending," she urges, noting that many nursing home residents lack spiritual support in their final days. This reframes family visits not just as obligations but as ministry opportunities that extend beyond our loved ones to everyone within hearing distance.Ready to approach end-of-life matters with greater confidence and spiritual purpose? This episode offers both practical guidance and spiritual encouragement for one of life's most challenging journeys.SHOW NOTES:Find strength and courage in your faith at this year's FEARLESS FAITH Conference.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die ForI am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 9, missing person is the featured crime. This is The Florida Man Cometh by Jim WinterThis week's story come to us from Jim Winter, author of the Holland Bay series, which includes Holland Bay and The Dogs of Beaumont Heights. Like his series, this story takes place in what he calls “the Celloverse,” set in and around the fictional City of Monticello. DELIBERATIONTeasdale's early morning response to an abandoned school bus has turned into a scavenger hunt for a Florida man gone AWOL. Which one of the three party animals is missing Florida man James Floren? Trashcan Man, who is now unnaturally baldUnicorn Man, who bounced his head off at least one windshieldPacer Man, who managed to get a car stuck on a roller coasterHere are the facts as Teasdale sees them:A school bus and driver were borrowed from the school district by Mayor Nate Keller for a fishing party on Saturday. To Keller's knowledge the bus was returned with a full tank of gas. The school bus wasn't returned to the school district but left on Rufus King's lawn. The driver, Charlie Tobin, is missing.Searching the bus, Teasdale discovered a stack of neatly folded clothes on the driver's seat and an annoyed alligator chained in the aisle.Before being abandoned, the bus was parked at The Waffle House. The manager said a drunk Larry Molnek, a sales manager for a local car dealer, came in with a man he didn't know. The manager tossed Molnek out for fighting. Either Molnek or the stranger head butted a windshield before leaving in the bus.Teasdale and Deputy Swenson received a BOLO Florida Man James Floren. The recently AWOL husband has family in Ohio, including now respected attorney Joe Reese. As teens, Floren and Reese were busted for breaking into the amusement park to climb the B-52 coaster.Inside the closed amusement park, Teasdale and Swenson discovered a naked man in a trash can. He was pale, white, and newly bald. Next, they found a man trapped in a Pacer stuck on the B-52 coaster. He was pale beneath his tan complexion. -Lastly, Swenson discovered a man in one of the bathrooms. He had a bloody, black-and-blue bump in the middle of his forehead. Which is the Florida Man cometh? About Missing PersonsSince 1975, the FBI has maintained the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) missing person and unidentified person statistics. According the 2023 statistics report, the files are retained indefinitely until the person is located or the record is cancelled by the entering agency. Data is collected on missing persons with disabilities including senility, where circumstances indicate the disappearance was non-voluntary and/or physical safety is in danger, where catastrophe is involved, and juveniles. As of December 31, 2023, NCIC contained 96,955 active missing person records. Within the calendar year, 563,389 records were entered and 563,644 records cleared. Of the active...

His goal? To truly understand the experience of a crowdfunding investor and leverage that knowledge to help others build wealth ethically and effectively.Paul explained, “I wanted to give investment plans for people without extractive corporations, without exploitations. For me to recommend investments, I really needed to know the industry at the most core level—that of a customer.” Immersing himself in the world of crowdfunding, he sought to experience firsthand the challenges and opportunities that investors face.Through his journey, Paul uncovered a standout takeaway: the power of debt crowdfunding, or as he calls it, “crowdlending.” He shared, “Debt crowdfunding is like the greatest thing that has happened to investing probably ever. From a financial planning standpoint, it's so helpful to have predictable monthly payments.” By crowdfunding amortized loans, investors can benefit from steady repayments of principal and interest, making it easier to plan financially.Paul's passion for crowdlending stems from its accessibility and reliability. “Crowdlending allows the general public to access private credit, an asset class that has been outperforming the stock market since 2008,” he said. For those seeking an alternative to traditional Wall Street investments, crowdlending offers a practical and impactful solution.This year-long experiment also led Paul to create the Crowd Capital Blueprint, a program designed to help compassionate people invest with purpose. The step-by-step system empowers individuals to move their money from exploitative investments to ethical, regenerative ones, while simplifying the process of building wealth with intention.Paul's journey proves that investing isn't just about growing money—it's about aligning finances with values. By embracing the principles of regulation crowdfunding, he's paving the way for a new era of financial activism, one investment at a time.tl;dr:Paul Lovejoy invested in regulation crowdfunding every day for a year to understand the experience.He discovered debt crowdfunding, or “crowdlending,” as a powerful tool for financial planning.Paul shared personal lessons from the 2008 financial crisis, including the importance of ethical investments.He created the Crowd Capital Blueprint to help people build wealth ethically and sustainably.Paul's superpower, healing through forgiveness, inspires others to grow from pain and help others.How to Develop Healing Through Forgiveness As a SuperpowerPaul Lovejoy's superpower is his ability to heal through the power of forgiveness. Reflecting on the shame and pain of being defrauded during the 2008 financial crisis, Paul explained, “The first step into healing is to simply acknowledge your suffering and to give yourself compassion for it.” He emphasized that forgiveness is not about excusing others but about freeing yourself from the burden of resentment. “Resentment is poison for the soul, and forgiveness is the antidote,” he said.In one striking story, Paul described forgiving Doug Swenson, the man who defrauded him and his family of over a million dollars. Paul explained that forgiveness wasn't about excusing Swenson's actions or ignoring accountability. Instead, it was about releasing the pain he carried. “I only was defrauded once, but I had to suffer every time in my mind that I thought about that,” he said. By forgiving Swenson, Paul was able to reclaim his energy and channel it into creating solutions for others through his work.Paul also offered actionable advice for developing forgiveness as a strength:Acknowledge your suffering: Recognize your pain and give yourself compassion to reduce its intensity.Forgive yourself: Treat yourself like a best friend who made a mistake, offering understanding instead of judgment.Visualize others living their best life: Imagine those who wronged you thriving, which helps release resentment.Focus on what you've learned: Use the energy freed by forgiveness to grow and create solutions for others.By following Paul's example and advice, you can make healing through forgiveness a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfilePaul Lovejoy (he/him):Principal Advisor, Stakeholder EnterpriseAbout Stakeholder Enterprise: Stakeholder Enterprise stands against a financial system rigged against everyday people, the false belief that wealth and ethics can't coexist, and the predatory tactics that keep people powerless. We are seeking to create a financial landscape where wealth is a tool for justice, a world where anyone can invest without guilt or barriers, and a movement that shifts economic power away from corporations and into the hands of real people.Website: stakeholderenterprise.comBiographical Information: Paul is not your typical financial advisor. He is a licensed financial advisor on a mission to democratize impact investing. After losing everything in the 2008 crash, Paul went inside the belly of the beast - working at a wealth management firm catering to the 1%. What he discovered there shocked him. Now, he's blowing the whistle on Wall Street's dirty secrets and empowering regular people to take control of their financial futures.

From the rise of AI to the cost-of-living crisis and threats to democracy, our cognitive and emotional burdens are shifting in ways we're only beginning to understand.In this episode, Leah and Haley Swenson from the New America Better Life Lab dive into the meaning of "mental load," who carries it, and whose responsibility it is—individuals, families, organizations, or governments.

It was a moment that would shape Erik Swenson's approach to finance forever. As a co-op student at Northeastern University, he found himself in front of a room full of engineers, presenting financial metrics he had carefully compiled. When the meeting ended, one of the engineers approached him and said, “That was interesting, but it doesn't mean anything to me. I make the product.” The comment struck a nerve. Driving home that evening, Swenson couldn't shake the realization—numbers alone don't drive a business; they need to connect to the people building it.That early lesson in financial storytelling set the foundation for a career built on bridging finance with operations. Swenson tells us his path wasn't a straight line—he originally pursued computer science before pivoting to economics and then accounting. After early roles in financial analysis, he spent 15 years moving through finance leadership positions at Danaher, where he sharpened his ability to translate financial insights into business decisions.When IDT tapped him to be CFO in 2018, Swenson faced a challenge that tested his adaptability. As he tells us, the company had a strong accounting foundation but needed deeper financial analysis to support its innovation-driven growth. He immediately set to work embedding finance into IDT's decision-making, ensuring the function wasn't just reporting numbers but helping shape the company's strategic direction. “It's not just about getting the numbers right,” Swenson explains, “it's about making sure those numbers mean something for the business.”
