Asking for help isn’t always easy, but sometimes, it’s the smartest thing you can do, especially when it comes to learning. Amanda Martin learned that firsthand as a parent. When her kids hit middle school, she started looking for academic support — something beyond worksheets and flashcards. She found that the tutoring landscape felt outdated and uninspired. So Amanda decided to build the kind of place she wished existed: Studyville — a modern, membership-based tutoring lounge where students can get expert help with homework, test prep, college admissions and more, all in a space that makes learning feel engaging. Some people join an organization just looking for a job. They’re in and out. Others stay long enough to build a career. And in rare cases, they end up shaping the future of that organization from the top. That’s exactly the story of Alicia Vidrine. She started at the Tiger Athletic Foundation as an intern during her last semester at LSU, and over the years, she climbed the ladder step by step. Today, she’s the Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Under Alicia’s leadership, TAF has expanded beyond funding facilities. Today, it helps power scholarships, operations and long-term support for student-athletes, all while adapting to a changing landscape in college sports. Working your way up the ladder in your career is never easy. It doesn’t matter if you can see the rungs of it from the start, or if you have to build your own ladder as you climb it. Both Amanda and Alicia exemplify this journey of growth and perseverance. Alicia climbed her ladder all while adapting to the ever-evolving world of college athletics. And Amanda built hers when looking for a better way to support her kid's education. Both of them saw opportunities to make a difference in their fields and took the bold steps necessary to bring your visions to life.

In this episode, we sit down and have a fantastic conversation with Dog Parenting Coach, Author, and Social Entrepreneur, Angie Winters. We discuss her book, Don't Train Your Dog: A Pet Parenting Guide to teaching good behavior, calming fears and raising happy dogs, the plight of "hard to home" rescue dogs and how switching to the Dog Parenting mindset, using her "recipes" for teaching dogs and making them happy.....and her "prescriptions" for fixing unwanted behavior, is extremely effective and respectful, compared to the typical dog training we've all been taught and is widely pushed by our society. Join us for this incredibly enlightening and educational conversation! Bio: For Angie Winters, author of Don't Train Your Dog, helping dogs is more than a job— it's a calling. As a dog parenting coach and social entrepreneur for over 20 years, Angie has obsessively studied, raised, and rehabilitated over 1,000 dogs…and helped their parents. Her record for fixing "broken" dogs—who were deemed unfixable by typical dog trainers, vets, medications, behavioral experts, parents, and rescues—is unparalleled. Using a careful understanding of dog emotion and effective communication, Angie's cutting-edge dog parenting philosophy helps dog parents, rescues, and prison dog training programs nationwide. Angie has had dog parents drive from as far as California to seek out her coaching at her Ohio home. Her mission is to create a world where dogs are understood and valued for their incredible gifts, leading to happier and healthier lives for both dogs and their parents.

Show Notes: Alison Wakoff Loren went to St Louis to medical school at Washington University. She specialized in internal medicine and later completed a subspecialty fellowship in hematology oncology at the University of Pennsylvania. She met her husband in medical school and they have three children all in their early twenties. Alison is now the chief of the Division of Hematology Oncology at the University of Pennsylvania, specializing in bone marrow transplantation, a curative therapy for blood cancer. Taking Care of Patients Alison finds the best part of her job to be taking care of patients, especially those who have just been diagnosed with leukemia. She gets to know people when they are in a vulnerable place and understand their lives, which is a privilege. She also does a lot of administrative work, mentoring trainees and faculty, helping them understand their passions and connecting them with opportunities. Alison is proud of her mentoring success stories. She encourages everyone to show gratitude and warmth, as the world is not always generous, and it is important to show that we can make a difference for each other by showing warmth and gratitude. She also shares a story of mentoring a talented MD and PhD candidate who was unhappy in her research role. Helping Patients with Leukemia Alison discusses the fear and uncertainty people face when discovering they have leukemia. She shares her experiences in delivering sad news to a patient who had been a high school history teacher and had leukemia come back. She mentions that people have incredibly generous spirits and sometimes don't behave their best when they're scared. She also shares examples of people making decisions that matter to their loved ones, such as stopping treatment or continuing treatment when they don't want to. Alison also discusses the range of responses people have when they have to deliver sad news. She explains that most people know they're in for an uphill climb, and it's rare to be surprised. Alison specializes in bone marrow transplants, which are intensive but curative intent therapies, and she emphasizes the importance of laying groundwork ahead of time to make difficult conversations less shocking and offering hope while grounding the conversation. She also stresses the importance of being honest and respectful in her interactions with patients. Fertility Preservation in Cancer Treatment The conversation turns to Alison's research and the importance of fertility preservation in cancer treatment, which can harm reproductive capacity and lead to infertility. Oncology teams often don't discuss this topic, partly because they are focused on cancer and not reproductive endocrinologists. However, there is a focus on making sure all patients are counseled about the reproductive impact of their treatments and reproductive options to engage in fertility preservation before starting cancer treatments. Alison explains what is recommended for women. She mentions that it is important to discuss these options before starting cancer treatment, as it reduces distress and decision regret for people after treatment. Alison is fortunate to be able to speak and advocate for fertility preservation for people with blood cancers, which represents a special population in oncology care. She has been fortunate to co-chair an effort to develop guidelines for fertility preservation from a large cancer organization. She explains that colleagues in reproductive science are doing amazing research to extend options for reproductive care before and after cancer treatment, which is exciting to inform oncology clinicians and advocate for insurance coverage for these treatments. Family Life, Running, and Circadian Rhythms Alison shares her experiences with her children, including a daughter who works at the Amherst College Library, an older son considering medical school, and a younger son at Bates College in Maine. Her daughter has inspired her to think about women in the workplace, as she was criticized for not valuing women in her division and for hiring women because they are cheaper. Alison also shares her experience with running, which she enjoys but has to get up early to get in before work. She talks about the concept of morning and night people, stating that people have their own internal clocks. She also mentions that research into the biology of the circadian clock is still in its early stages. Influential Harvard Courses and Professors Alison shares her experiences at Harvard, including taking courses with Stephen Jay Gould and Dick Lewontin, who were incredibly intelligent and insightful. She also took Act 10 as a senior, which was an unexpected experience that helped her learn different ways of thinking about the subject. Alison volunteered at the Mission Hill after-school program, which allowed her to get to know the kids and families there. She tried out for various extracurriculars, such as singing and photography, but found it intimidating. She also mentions the training program for photographers.

So we work with family and vulnerable populations. We work with the elderly, and we work with things like helping promote social work in China, as well as clinical psychologists in different NGOs around the region. The other nonprofit that I am on the Advisory Council of is the Asian American foundation, TAF for short, T, A, A, F, F. The Asian American foundation, basically, is a platform that gets together different organizations around anti hate, changing the narrative education, helping to advocate for Asian American history taught in public schools, as well as narrative change representation in Hollywood and beyond. And again, it was founded around the 2020, around the growing disturbing rhetoric against Asians with the rise of COVID So yeah, those are two nonprofit organizations that I'm involved with. So again, one nonprofit that's been on the board for for many, many years is called the Keswick Foundation, and it funds pilot programs in Hong Kong as well as Mainland China. And then the Asian American foundation. If you want to learn more about the Asian American foundation, it's www dot T, A, A, f.org, check it out.” To learn more about their work, visit: The Asian American Foundation: https://www.taaf.org/ The Keswick Foundation: https://www.keswickfoundation.org.hk/

Discover the timeless essence of truth embedded in the Torah as we explore its foundational aspects, beginning with the often-neglected Bereishit. This episode promises an enriching journey into understanding truth as a vital component of both our spiritual and everyday lives. We delve into the significance of the Hebrew letters Aleph, Mem, and Taf, forming the word "Emes" (truth), and their presence throughout the Torah. With insights drawn from the written and oral Torahs and Rashi's commentary, we underscore how truth emerges as not just an abstract concept, but a lived principle, encouraging a life of authenticity and sincerity.Journey with us into practical applications of truth, spotlighted by the discerning judgement of Rabbi Moshe Feinstein in the face of adversity. We explore the idea of truth as an eternal guide, urging listeners to embrace incremental growth in religious observance without altering the core teachings of the Torah. Personal integrity takes center stage as we liken our relationship with God to a genuine romantic bond, emphasizing that our spiritual journey should stem from personal conviction, free from societal pressures. This episode invites you to make the Torah a meaningful part of your journey, offering support and patience as you nurture a sincere and personal connection to your faith._____________This episode (Ep 7.1) of the Parsha Review Podcast by Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe on Parshas Bereishis is dedicated in Honor of Gary Nathanson & in honor of our Holy Soldiers in the Battlefield and our Torah Scholars in the Study Halls who are fighting for the safety of our nation!Download & Print the Parsha Review Notes:https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1ncaRyoH5iJmGGoMZs9y82Hz2ofViVouv?usp=sharingRecorded at TORCH Meyerland in the Levin Family Studios to a live audience on November 19, 2024, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on November 20, 2024_____________DONATE to TORCH: Please consider supporting the podcasts by making a donation to help fund our Jewish outreach and educational efforts at https://www.torchweb.org/support.php.

On this Living to 100 Club podcast, our guests introduce us to The Assistance Fund. TAF is one of a handful of Independent Charitable Assistance Funds. Danielle Vizcaino, President and CEO of The Assistance Fund (TAF), and Margaret Figley, Director of Communications, are the guests. They describe how TAF provides financial assistance to patients facing high co-payments, deductibles, and other health-related expenses. We learn how manufacturers support this non-profit program through donations and make affordable health more accessible. In turn, these donations get passed on to the underinsured patients across the country. What are the eligibility criteria, what types of financial assistance are there, and what resources are available for people who have health insurance but can't afford their out-of-pocket costs for treatment? Tune in to learn about these relatively little-known programs that may help you. Mini Bios Danielle leads a diverse organization of more than 80 employees in Orlando, Florida, and Washington, DC. TAF has consistently been named by Forbes as a top 100 charity and The NonProfit Times as one of the 50 best nonprofits to work for. She oversees TAF's nearly 90 disease programs, which since 2009 have helped nearly 190,000 people access the critical treatment they need to manage a life-threatening, chronic, or rare disease. Danielle is a member of the American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE). Danielle earned an MBA and MPH from the University of North Florida. She also earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Molecular Biology and Microbiology from the University of Central Florida.

In this episode, we dive into a fascinating topic that many cat owners may overlook, but it is a topic that is an incredibly important part of our feline friends... their tails.
