Podcasts about tosha

Today, we're talking about aggression, specifically in boys, and how we as parents can respond with understanding, connection, and compassion instead of fear or shaming. Joining me is Tosha Schore, a powerful voice in peaceful parenting and the founder of Parenting Boys Peacefully. Tosha is also the creator of the Out With Aggression program and co-author of Listen: Five Simple Tools to Meet Your Everyday Parenting Challenges. She's spent decades helping parents shift the way they relate to their kids, especially when big behaviors show up. In our conversation, Tosha and I got into the roots of aggressive behavior in boys, and how it's so often a signal, not of defiance, but of fear or frustration. We explored how society often mislabels boys as “bad” when they make mistakes with little room for second chances. Tosha shared what it means to truly listen to our kids, how to build safe spaces for them to express themselves without shame, and why emotional connection, not punishment, is the key to long-term growth and emotional development. If aggression is something your family is struggling with right now, this conversation is for you. And if you find it valuable, and I think you will, consider sharing it with other parents who might need it.   About Tosha Schore Tosha Schore is a dynamic leader and globally recognized speaker and trainer dedicated to empowering parents and the professionals who support them. As the founder of Parenting Boys Peacefully and creator of the Out With Aggression program, Tosha has equipped thousands of parents worldwide with tools to transform challenging behaviors by fostering connection, confidence, and compassion in their relationships with their children.

Drawing on her over two decades of experience, and her extensive training in Hand in Hand Parenting and certification as a Step into Your Moxie® Facilitator, Tosha inspires parents to integrate connection as a bedrock principle in their families, and provides actionable answers to the “then what?” questions parents often face when shifting away from harsher, less effective practices. Tosha is championing a cultural shift toward more compassionate parenting and a more peaceful world.   Things you'll learn from this episode Why understanding boys' behavior requires connecting the dots between their emotions, environment, and executive function challenges How recognizing aggression as a response to fear, frustration, or impulse control issues helps parents approach it with empathy Why creating safe spaces for boys to express emotions without judgment fosters emotional growth and self-regulation Why challenging societal perceptions that label boys as "bad guys" is essential for supporting their emotional development How to prioritize emotional connection over discipline in order to navigate challenging behaviors without shame or escalation   Resources mentioned Toscha Shore's website Parenting Boys Peacefully Free 10-Day Reconnect Listen: Five Simple Tools to Meet Your Everyday Parenting Challenges by Toscha Shore Dr. John Duffy on Helping Our Struggling Teen Boys (Tilt Parenting podcast) Rescuing Our Sons: 8 Solutions to Our Crisis of Disaffected Teen Boys by Dr. John Duffy Seth Perler, Executive Function Coach   Learn more about your ad choices.

About Ghost MusicIt's only been a month since Dawn's musician husband, Clark, suddenly died. When his former student shows up with missing pages from Clark's unfinished book, voices from the pages are reawakened.

As she desperately tries to preserve the dignity of her husband, the brilliant composer Robert Schumann, he descends further and further into madness. Separated by a gulf of both time and space, Dawn and Clara grapple with grief and lunacy, and the hope that long-ago melodies can heal their broken hearts.This production is sponsored in part by the AthensWest Emerging Play Grant awarded to the theater program and sabbaticals for both Dr. Greg Partain and Professor Tosha Fowler.

"Do you believe this?" Jesus' profound question to Martha before raising her brother Lazarus reverberates throughout Palm Sunday's celebration and directly into our lives today. When faced with impossible situations, do we trust Jesus before seeing the miracle?Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week, but the story actually begins with a pivotal miracle—Lazarus' resurrection from the dead. Martha's declaration of faith before seeing her brother alive again demonstrates genuine belief in Jesus' identity, not just His abilities. This same question confronts us: Do we believe Jesus is who He says He is and that He can do what He says He can do?The Palm Sunday celebration itself reveals something fascinating about human nature. While crowds enthusiastically welcomed Jesus with palm branches and shouts of "Hosanna," their motivations varied dramatically. Some had witnessed Lazarus' resurrection and believed wholeheartedly. Others followed political hopes or simply joined the excitement. Most telling was what happened afterward—when adults returned to their regular lives, the children continued worshiping Jesus in the temple. Their unwavering, childlike faith challenges us to examine our own belief. Do we praise Jesus only in celebratory moments or consistently through all seasons of life?Personal stories of faith challenges, like Tosha's experience with her desperately ill daughter, remind us that believing isn't always easy, but it's transformative. In those critical moments when circumstances seem impossible, Jesus still asks, "Do you believe this?" The answer shapes not only our relationship with him but our ability to pass authentic faith to the next generation. Join us for this Easter trilogy as we journey through Holy Week's most significant moments and discover how they transform our families today. What do you truly believe about Jesus?______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Drudgery, discipline, delight—what do these words signify in your spiritual journey? Join Tosha Williams in the Family Disciple Me podcast as we explore  Isaiah chapter 12:3 and unpack how the act of seeking God, akin to drawing water from a deep well, requires commitment but promises profound spiritual renewal. Listen in as Tosha shares personal insights from life on her family farm, illustrating how intentionality in our relationship with the Lord can lead to spiritually fulfilling lives.In this episode, we delve into the heart of our "Seek Him Speak Him" motto. We reflect on the journey from obligation to joy, exploring how daily encounters with God's Word can refresh and nourish our spirits. Whether you're a seasoned believer or new to faith, tune in for encouragement, challenge, and blessing as you deepen your walk with the Lord, drawing from the springs of salvation with joy.****************I WILL'S TO INSTILL // Convo #3:  I Will Seek Him“You will joyfully draw water from the springs of salvation.'” Isaiah 12:3 CSBSEEK HIM: Devotion is Meeting with God in Our Own Lives! With the Family Disciple Me ministry, our motto is “Seek Him Speak Him.” Let's spend some time with the Lord in Isaiah 12:3 about what it means to “Seek Him.” WHAT:  What is God saying through this Scripture? To draw water is to bring it up from the depths bucket by bucket. In the same way, Scripture by Scripture, truth by truth, principle by principle, day by day, God wants us to go to His wellsprings of life and seek Him. ~ Have you received God's salvation; when, why, how? Look up “how to get water from a well with a bucket” and think about the intentionality it takes to get water this way. How does this help you better understand what it means to “Seek Him.”WHY:  Why does this Scripture matter? To draw water requires effort, intentionality, work and determination. In ancient times, this was essential to physical life, something to be done every single day. ~ How often do you make the effort to spend time with the Lord each day? If joy is the measure of how much you “Seek Him,” how joyful are you? HOW: How does God want us to respond to this truth? The springs of salvation are available to all of us; the question is what we choose to do with this resource. We draw water when we daily decide to seek the Lord in our lives. ~ What is God saying to you personally about seeking Him? In what ways are you determined to “Seek Him”? Read Psalm 36:5-9 and listen to what God says to you through it. SPEAK HIM: Discipleship is Making God Known to Others! As we are filled with the life-giving, soul-nourishing water from God's springs of salvation, will you stay quiet or let your bucket-full overflow into someone else's life? ______________________The Family Disciple Me ministry exists to catalyze devotion driven discipleship in our homes and around the world.

Auctions, are they a thing of the past or do they still work? We answer this question on another episode of A Modern Nonprofit Podcast hosted by Tosha Anderson. Bringing their expertise to the table, we are joined by Laurie Hochman, Director of Business Growth & Strategy at Auctria. Auctria is an easy to use tool that helps run your fundraising events. Success through Auctions Whether auctions still work or not is a valid question, however the fact that they are happening daily should tell you everything you need to know about their success. Laurie shares that fundraising will never go away simply because people like to socialize. Socializing stimulates happiness, and typically happy people elect to donate some cash. How much auctions produce for a fundraising event does depend on the audience and their response to the event. So how much cash are we talking here though? Well, that depends once again on the audience. Just like marketing pertains to a target audience or market, so does fundraising. Except dollars for profit or increased sales in the for profit world become synonymous with dollars raised for social programs and nonprofit missions. Some organizations may raise $400,000 to even $1 million dollars through their fundraising. This isn't to be compared with a startup fundraising campaign though. Laurie encourages the listeners to not be discouraged by a fundraising event that only brings in $30,000 to $50,000 in its first few years. Some of the larger dollar amounts raised are typically equated to years of cultivation and hosting events. In other words, their audience has been to the show more than a few times.

In this episode of the Modern Nonprofit Podcast, Tosha Anderson interviews Alyssia Palacios-Woods, the executive director at Capital IDEA. These two strong leaders discuss all things leadership, and if you are in any way shape or form directing a nonprofit, you don't want to miss it. Here just some of the major take-aways: Women In Leadership Collectively, all of Alyssia's experiences led her to become the leader she is today. But, how exactly? She shares that in her past that nearly all of her managers, superiors, and even owners have been women. The women that Alyssia has experienced in leadership have definitely shaped how she has become the leader she is today. There are many styles of leadership, but we hear that being led by women has helped her see a different way and a different approach. For example, when leading her own teams, Alyssia thinks about family friendly workforce policies. What seems to be an almost backwards consideration, it sometimes doesn't make sense to have a job if paying for childcare comes with that. It may be more affordable for families to have a one income household and watch children during the day than it is to have a two income household and pay for childcare. Because of these considerations, Alyssia likes to put policies in place that are family friendly, offer flexibility, and support people at all stages of their lives. Another key characteristic that Alyssia has learned from women in leadership positions is leading with empathy. During the pandemic and the mental stress that came with it, Alyssia learned that many people were going through unimaginable things. So, she likes to lead with the mindset that checks in with others. The mindset that asks how they are doing and if everything is okay. Bringing this mindset and culture to the workplace can help and support employees, especially if what is going on is not obvious to the eye. It truly builds a culture of intentionality and care into the workplace. And in Alyssia's case, all because of the women in leadership that she's experienced.

Thank you, Ania. And thank you everybody that is here listening now. I hope you guys are having an amazing magical day. How I would introduce myself. When people heard my name and it's Yerlin, they usually call me Merlin, like the magician. And they always say that I'm usually Yerlin the Merlin, like I'm a magician of life. My thing is to really bring back life and to squeeze the juice of life.My own life history has really brought me to my knees in awe of life and what the gift is in every single moment that we're alive. So for me is to really bring people back to their hearts, back home to their own, to their own self, to their own soul and to help them live an amazing and unconventional life.You know, a life that is beyond average, beyond normal, but a life that they can really wake up in love every day too. And from there, everything else gets to be a cherry on top money, love. success, fame, all of these things get to be just a cherry on top of the most amazing life that they're living. So that's kind of like what my work is. Yeah, a little glimpse, but what you do is so much deeper. And, I'm just so grateful to have you be part of this series. So can you go deeper into how do you show up for yourself, for your business and for others when life lifes? Do I show up? I think that that is like one of the most important questions because I think this is what This is really what embodiment is.Embodiment is how you show up for life every single day. So for me, there are many different things in how I show up, you know. I have these, all these compartments of my life and each one of them has a different way of showing up. Like, I show up for my daughters, I show up for my husband, I show up for my business, for my clients, for myself, for my spiritual practices, for my health.So each one of them, has a very different, specific things, but all of them, What they have in common is, the constancy, you know, like constantly showing up for them, the compounding, the compounding interest, I say, like, you know, like the compounding effect of every single thing that I do for my health, for my children, for my friends, for the people around me, for my marriage, the compounding, the consistency in it and the, the appreciation for duality.So I don't expect every single day to be a walk in the park of just roses and rainbows. Like, I know energy. I know that there are waves of energy and I am in to ride them, whatever they are. You know, I ride the good waves and I ride the not so good waves. I ride the waves of laugh and the waves of tears, the waves of joy and the waves of fear.So for me is the love of duality and the acceptance of duality is big part of showing up. Showing up even for. the duality part where it's not all magical and beautiful. So that is a part of it, like the big duality in, in to the showing up. And then, another part of it is just like expressing and opening my voice in every single one of them.Communication. Communication is a big part of my showing up and how I show up. So when I am not feeling You know, good about something. I speak, I talk, I give feedback. I talk to my husband, to my children, to my friends. Communication, like my voice. I let my voice be heard. And in that way I show up for myself.I show up for others, and I show up for my little girl too that needs, you know, all the different things that our little girl needs too. That sometimes we just silence that voice. So that is a part of like showing up. And this is just general what is in common. To all of them, you know, like showing up in there and a big part of showing up in all these different areas also is this deep devotion to mastering my craft.Every day, the only person that I am, you know aiming to, to exceed and to be better at and to win over is the, you know, the one that I was yesterday. So devotion, devotion to my craft. Every day I want to be a little bit better about what I was doing and who I was being and how I was showing up as a friend, as a mother, as a wife, as a person, as a mentor, you know, as a business owner. I'm always in that devotion, devotion to my craft. How can I do it better? How can I be better? How can I be a little more kind? How can I be, you know, a little nicer? How can I be a little softer? How can I show a different presence? So, that devotion to my craft is something that is very deep in my soul.showing up and in part of this showing up is the big integrity too. And integrity is just like who am I being when no one is seeing me? When no one is seeing me, who am I being? If I could have a camera looking at me 24 seven, how I am and who I am with my daughters, with my partner, with the waitress, with the person, you know, at the store, with everybody.What would be, what would they like filming about me? How, what would they show? How would they show that I am when no one is seeing? So for me, that's a big part of the showing up is how you show up when no one is watching and when no one is seeing, that's a big part of how I live my life, you know, and And yeah, even like the other day I was in a VIP immersion with one client and we were going into this hike and I had a realization as we were talking and every day I have this membership where I broadcast messages and then I said, oh, one moment, let me stop here to send this.And then I sent the message and she was like, what, is this how you do it? This is how you make your transmissions. And I was like, why, what's going on? And she's like, So you don't have them like a structure and create it and done. And this is what we're going to talk about every day. You literally just have a realization and then you transmit it.And I'm like, yeah, that's how I do it. I literally live life and whatever life gives me something might stop for a moment. I process, I transmit it and I integrate that part. So this is how it is. So for me, That's a big part of it is how do we do life when no one is seeing so that's kind of what I can right now.I love that and it's so interesting. I love how synchronicity show up in the most random ways, because just before you, my interview was with Christine Michelle, and That's how we ended our conversation. How do you show up when no one's watching? And that's the most common denominator between people who succeed in whatever ways success means to them.And those who do not is exactly that. Like, how do you show up when no one's watching? So I love the fact that you are really anchoring in this point and how that's the thing that allows you to show up for yourself. When shit hits the pan or whatever happens that you don't desire. Which I think that is also the most important part because I had a client from Argentina, literally, she's very famous.She grew up very, uh, she, um, grew so fast in her audience, in her fame, in, you know, uh, TV shows, magazine, books, everything. And she told me when the camera is off, my life is miserable. Like, and I am suffering so much. And then she literally said, I am coming to you in an airplane. I'm like crawling to get into it, you know, and then she came in here and that always stay with me because I was like, how can a person look so happy when she's on cameras and in book and make us and everything, but then cameras off and you're like, I hate my life.How is it really worth it? Right? Like, is it really worth it for you to feel miserable? But on the outside, everybody feels like you, you're on top of the world. Then what's the point? What's the point? Exactly. Because to me, it's like, everything gets to be a cherry on top. To me, honestly, Ania, it's like, I'm alive.As I said, the big boss, God, the universe gave me another 24 hours to live. So many amazing people didn't wake up today to this day. They left, you know, even though they were millionaires, billionaires, amazing, more famous people than me, all of them, but they weren't granted another 24 hours. Like I was, I was like, I matter.I am here. I matter. I am important to this earth, to this planet. And that's the gift. And from there, everything else gets to be just more amazing, like cherry on top, like more amazing. Every single thing. But my biggest gift is like, I'm alive and I get to do whatever I want with the next 24 hours. And that's our superpower. Do you have any practices that are non negotiable for you to really stay in that space of gratitude? When I was less devoted to my craft of being, I had a lot of practices, you know, I had to, I had an hour meditation that I did, I had an hour journaling, like I had all the morning routines, things. Now I feel that my life has just become the practice. Every single thing I do is my practice. I'm like, I have, I'm hosting a friend of mine that came to from California here to them. You know, to the, um, my jungle place. And I'm like, I'm making coffee for her. I am in my practice. I am in deep gratitude. I am in service.I am in devotion. I'm happy. I'm cooking like breakfast or lunch for my kids. I am in deep devotion. I'm with my husband. I'm listening and I'm pressing and I'm deep devotion. I am here with you. And I'm like here with you. I am present in this moment. This is my medicine. This is my meditation. The gratitude is like flowing through me.So I feel that as I have become more. In the embodiment of what I feel in every part of my life, I need less and less and less of the structured times when I remember to be that, and instead I just have become it. Like everything I do is a practice, you know, even when I am like dealing with something, I am like dealing with a mean person on the phone, you know, and I am constantly being aware.This is a human being, they are doing their work, you know, breathe, manage your emotions, like don't let anyone take away your kindness or your power or your time. Like, this is like me. I'm looking at myself. I am looking at the waves moving through my body. Oh, I'm feeling the sadness. Okay. Early. Look at them sadness passing through your body.This is not you. This is not your identity. This is not who you are. This is just a way passing through your body. How can you help support this way? Pass through your body in a more kind way, in a more present way. So I have become so present with my body and with me in what I, you know, how I am through my day.That I feel that that has become my practice. And from that, like breathing, I do breathe through the day a lot. Like I take pauses to just like breathe a lot and stay present and feel the air. I drink a lot of water, which helped me also like, you know, being that presence in there. And I just. Take like glimpses.I take pictures. I take mental notes. I take snapshots of the of my life through the day. And that is like a big practice for me. That's beautiful. One of my favorite quotes is life as a practice. So, yes, we can have all of these to do lists and it feels like we're checking off the boxes. But ultimately, if you do all of the practices, if you have the most extensive morning practice, and then you go outside and somebody cuts you off in traffic and you start yelling and flipping people off, or you just get triggered every single time things don't go your way, then really, are you in the practice?versus tuning into how can I bring presence to the present moment and how can I bring awareness to what is already here right here right now. Yeah, I think that, um, and it's okay. It's beautiful that people can have an hour meditation, 30 minute meditation every day. That's really good. It reminds them to start and to do it and to be it.But honestly, as I have become more and more in the practice of living, so I'm conscious. Every day I find that I just need that less because it just becomes my life, my state of being. I, you know, I'm here in my jungle house and sometimes I go to the hammock and I just look at the toucans and the monkeys and the light coming through the trees and that's my practice right there.I am present in that moment. Sometimes I'm just so in awe, listening to my kids and thinking like, Oh my God, these are the kids that I raised. They came from me. Wow. You know, like I have friends right now, like sleeping in my cabin in my, you know, in my jungle cabin, I'm like, I'm so happy they came to visit me all the way from California here in Costa Rica to be here, you know, uh, like healing.I'm so happy I can have this place and, and have it being of use for my friends and the people that I love. So, uh, the practice is good. Until you become the practice. That's a quotable right there. Well, thank you so much for sharing your way of looking at the world. And of course, it's also helpful to see that externally you have achieved the level of success that a lot of people are striving for.So you don't necessarily have to be a monk, you know, on top of a mountain. You can be living in this 3d reality and still create tangible success. While also feeling connected to life, feeling to source and feeling alive. Are there any moments when you don't feel connected to your life force energy? And if so, what do you do to shift yourself back into that? Well, yeah, sure. I mean, I would be dead or not human if I didn't have those moments because we all do like it's normal, especially if anyone listening is a woman, we have hormones and we have cycles and we're, you know, we're cyclical beings. We, we live through the seasons of the moon every single month.So our energy goes up in peaks and down in peaks. And even through Um, through the day I have this sleep, uh, cycle, uh, cycle app in the tracks and it literally predicts my peak of energies in the day. I'm like, when I'm dipping down and I'm like, Oh my God, this is so accurate because we have, we are beings, we, we, we don't live in a straight line.Everything in nature is waves. So waves go up and down, up and down. So that's, you know, that's what we do. Now, when I feel sad, or when I feel like frustrated, or when I feel like down, and when I don't have much life force energy, first, I recognize I don't have that more like energy right now. I don't say I am depressed.I don't give myself a label. I don't say like I'm a frustrated or angry person. I don't say any of that. I just say I am not having much energy right now for this part. So I separate myself from the, from the behavior or from the situation in the moment. That's like very important for me. The other thing that I do is, um, I just ask my body what it's needing right now.Like what, what are you needing? Sometimes it's like go sleep more. Go sleep more like you're in sleep that you need to go and sleep more. Oh, okay. I'll go and take a nap and I sleep sometimes like, Hey, you need touch. You need a hug. You need like, you know, like, you know, go and get touch. And sometimes it's like, Hey, you had really, you know, like not so good food.And then go and eat something healthy. Go and have a green juice. Go and have something, you know, what are you craving? I am very. I'm good at listening to my body and asking my body, what do you need right now? What do you need right now? And this is a practice that my husband has taught me because even like he noticed that every time I will get cranky or like complaining or whining or wanted to pick a fight, he would just come right, cut through all the bullshit and just say, what do you need right now, my love? And I would be like, I just need you to hug me. I just need, you know, you hug me. And I was like, I was surprised all the time because I was like, I, we create all these like stories and drama around something and cut to the bottom. What do you need right now? Mm-Hmm, . They need expression. Do you need love? Do you need some words of appreciation?Like, what do you need? Do you need some rest? Do you need to take a shower? Sometimes showers are, have magical powers. Take a shower, a cold shower, or take a hot bath. hot and cold, you know, rest and movement. Sometimes your body is needing movement, sometimes your body is needing rest. Sometimes your body is needing, cold, sometimes your body is needing warm, you know, so like, what do you need?And this is the part, sometimes your body needs like noise. Sometimes your body needs stillness, and silence and the medicine of silence. Sometimes your body needs the medicine of noise and life happening around. So Tuning into what is my body needing is the thing that helps me to move faster through whatever wave I am caught in, in the moment. And then you're not in your head because it's your head that usually creates all of the stories. So if you go from your head and to drop into your body and ask your body, then you get the most true requests versus like continuously being in the loop of like, Oh, and creating more and more stories around that.Yeah, like release the narratives, releasing the narratives of the mind. This is what my mind is telling me right now. This is not true. Most of the time, the things that our mind tells us are not true. The mind Don't believe everything you think. No, like the mind is created to keep us safe. It's not to make us happy, you know, it's to keep us going and safe.And it actually takes a lot of neurological effort to create new neural pathways. The brain tried to go to what like in autopilot, that's why we live 95 percent of the time in our unconscious programs that we have. That's why the 5 percent that we have every day, we need to every day try to stretch it a little more and a little more so that that 5 becomes more and more.And it's taking more of the 95 percent that is unconscious, you know, it's like we then can stretch it and make it bigger and make it bigger, but that has to be a conscious. effort of, oh, what would my mind do? What would the normal me do? And then go and do the opposite, create that new neuropathway, you know, like, it's, um, it's like you have to go and destroy the old highways and you have to start putting the energy, the energy building blocks in the new highway that you want to have.So every time you see it's like, Oh, I'm in the old highway. Turn around, go to the one you want to drive through, you know. Oh, I went in the wrong way. Let me turn around. I'm going to go back to the highway that I want to be on. So that's what I do. What is the simplest step that they can take in order to begin shifting their pathways? Well, I would say two things. One, do not use I am statements just for something that is true. Something that is your biggest rule, your soul's true, like something that God itself will give you, you know, like I am love, I am magic, I am like beautiful, I'm kind, and like all of these I am, but do not use I am statements for something that is a skill that you haven't learned yet.Like I am lazy. You haven't learned the skill to use your time in a good way. Like I am like, I am a mess. No, you haven't learned the skill of being organized. So do not, and also use like, I am becoming more organized. I am becoming this, you know, instead of using I am for something that is negative and creating an identity with that, create the identities and lock in and anchor in the identities just of the one that are True, like are sold through.The other ones are just distortions that are not pure or complete yet. So do not use those. So be mindful of the language of the I am and which one, when not to use I want and I am. And then the other part is if you do go and say something in your language, because language are spells literally that we're doing, getting the practice of saying, I take that back.Let me say that differently. Just that, you know, like, oh my God, I just like be aware and mindful in the moment. Oh, I just said something. Oh, I take that back. One moment. Let me take that back. Let me say this in the way that I really mean it. And now you are shifting, you are training, you are neuropaths. I do this a lot.Even when my husband, when I'm so not nice, uh, replying to something, I say, let me take that back. This is what I meant to say. Or you are with a person, you say, hey, I'm actually, let me take that back. This is what I want to say. And then we train ourselves to use our language to cast good spells and to train our mind to not go into the old avenue to build this new one.And it's okay. And that is like, just even people get, you know, get to be more. present, and we allow them into our vulnerability, you know, even if we say something that is something with scarcity or something that is not so good, we can just say, I am learning to become more positive, so let me take that back, let me tell you this in that way, and that makes us human, and that makes us vulnerable, and the people are relatable, and people can connect even better with us.And it can be like, Oh, yeah, me too. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I know how that is. Oh, that's a good job. You are like retraining yourself. So people, we also give them an opportunity to connect with us as humans. Like, hey, I'm also retraining myself. I'm also like becoming this. I'm also like still learning to use my language better for myself and for my brain and for my energy field.So, yeah. That's what I would say the I am statements, and how to use them and when not to use them. And then they let me take that back and say the thing that you want to say, and retrain your mind to move to the neuropaths that you want those are like, really. the, the shortest form of consciousness and awareness that have worked for me and for my clients is in that moment.Yeah. I love that. Everything that we put after I am, we are declaring it as an identity. So if you do not want to identify as whatever you're saying, then stop saying those words. And. The fastest ways to shift anything is through a language. So one of my favorite books is called, it's not your money by Tosha silver.And in it, one of the main points that she's making is that whenever you're saying my. So we're identifying it with it, then we are also are taking responsibility for being the one to solve the problem. So for example, if I say I am sick, then I'm also responsible for getting better versus saying there's sickness within me. So then I'm disassociated and I'm allowing I have power to take care of it. Well, if I say I have that, then I feel like I'm responsible for getting rid of the debt. So really paying attention to the way that you use words. And every single time you say I am or my, then really pay attention to, is that the reality that you want to give more power and energy to?Yeah. And also I was in, in Columbia, I met with this chairman and he came to me and he said, ya, you know what my grandmother say is the fastest way to kill someone without ever touching it. And I'm like, what is that? And he said, stop naming it. Stop naming. Don't name the person, don't name the thing.The fastest way to kill something or someone without even like touching the thing is like, stop giving it energy. Do not like, do not give energy to that. Like done, just done. And you know, and the more that you move into that, The more that you start feeling the power, you know, back to you, because you're not letting that energy leave your body, you're actually having a different relationship with that and whatever doesn't have energy is like an iPhone, you know, it's like a phone.If you don't connect it and give it electricity and give it the energy the thing dies and it's good not for nothing. It's the same if we allow something to not have our energy, it will eventually die. And it won't bother us anymore. So we have to get in the practice of that, like bringing our energy back, bringing our energy back. Yeah. Thank you so much for sharing so many nuggets of wisdom. Where can everybody find you? Well, I'm in my social media, um, and Instagram, you're in Ramirez T or in Facebook, uh, my website, you're in ramirez. com and yeah, I just love people to come connect and hang out and be in there and grow together, expand together and create the most beautiful unconventional life because, you know, that's like my thing.I don't do normal. I don't like normal. I'm not a normal person. To me, life is to be lived beyond average and being young, normal, and that's, I'm into that. Yes. Thank you so much.

In 2022, the Presidio Trust asked Favianna Rodriguez to be an activator, as the trust was preparing to open its Tunnel Tops park. Favianna recommended that the folks building the park employ color and visual art to transform the space. They were supportive of her ideas. And with that, Ancestral Futurism was born.   Favianna grew up in Oakland next to the 880 freeway, where she still lives today. The area around that major thoroughfare is one of the most polluted corridors in the state. Because she comes from an area subject to what she refers to as "environmental racism," she sought to make a statement in the northwest corner of The City. "Ancestral Futurism" was a phrase that perfectly summed up her goal: "We cannot repair the present until we acknowledge the harm of the past."   The land where Spanish colonizers established the Presidio was already inhabited by Native people, of course. Those people lost their land to the Europeans. They were murdered, pushed out, disenfranchised. For Favianna, the space is now one where we can talk about that.   Tosha Stimage was born in rural Mississippi. College got her out of The South and to Ohio, where she studied art and design. After graduation, she spent a bit of time in Colorado, where she worked with kids doing art therapy. Then grad school brought her to the Bay Area: She started at CCA in 2012.   She's been an artist since she was a kid, and that didn't change after grad school. One of the ways that art manifests for Tosha is in flower arranging. She had a shop in Oakland, but was forced out by gentrification. Now, she's got her shop, Saint Flora, back open for business in The City as part of SF's Vacant to Vibrant program.   After the unveiling of Ancestral Futurism, Favianna and others realized that they needed to make it an annual event and bring in other artists. They also decided that it was important to honor native plants and animals along with the native humans of the area. For this year's iteration, Favianna invited Tosha to add her own interpretation to the ongoing project.   After she was selected, Tosha started visiting the park, meeting people, and doing her homework. She began to notice the intention and care that went into plant programs already going in the Presidio. Right away, she felt it was something she wanted to be part of.   Tosha gave her contribution the name "Superblooms" in part to honor that natural phenomenon. It also speaks to the resilience of the plants she chose to include in her art—checker bloom, Chilean strawberry, and California poppy. All are beautiful, of course, but they all have histories in the Bay Area.   This Sunday, July 14, from 12 to 3 p.m., Tunnel Tops will host a launch party for Tosha's Superblooms. Activities that day include: an art unveiling with Tosha, hands-on art activities for all ages, a living floral Installation, free plant starters, DJ sets, and a show and tell with the Presidio Nursery. Attendance is free. For more info, visit the Presidio Trust site.   We recorded this podcast at Tunnel Tops park in June 2024.   Photography by Felipe Romero

Welcome to another episode of a Modern Nonprofit Podcast! Today we will focus on the conversation with Pat Taggart, Chief Creative with Sky Blue Creative. The firm Sky Blue Creative is in the business of helping both for profit and nonprofits tell their story and share their missions through video media. The Importance of Winning Hearts (& Donations) If you've ever been to a non profit fundraising event, hopefully it's been obvious to you what the organization stands for and how their event is raising money and awareness for their cause. Tosha, being in the industry as long as she has, likes to study the events she attends to identify what works and what doesn't. Some questions she asks may Are they using print or video material? What stands out? What's unique? What's different? How is the organization telling its impactful story compared to other organizations? All of these questions combine to help us understand if the organization is achieving the goal of expressing its mission at the said fundraising event. We also need to understand why being able to do this is so important, and that is exactly where Pat and Sky Blue Creative come into play. Pat says, ‘I think that you have a really wonderful opportunity when you're doing great work in the world to make people feel your impact. And there's a very big distinction between telling people about your impact and making them feel it. Wow, words of wisdom from Pat! This is exactly what he and his team achieve day in and day out. It sounds complex, but it's actually pretty simple. Pat shares an experience working with a corporate for profit company that had an Employee Hardship Program. The program was designed to seek donations from employees, something like $1 a pay period, to go in a fund that would later support employees who had experienced any type of hardship. This could be as severe as a house fire, or maybe something less. Pat introduced the idea of interviewing those who had been selected to receive help from this program and ask them about their experience. Or to have them tell their story. Literally overnight, the fund participation increased nearly 400%. Why? Because Pat was able to help the organization feel the impact of the fund, not just tell them about it. Tosha and Pat close the conversation with a very important Q&A, “if you were a nonprofit leader, what should they be looking for when hiring a videographer to tell their story?” Understand their process A leader would not want to hire someone who is very scripted and attempts to treat the content like a feature film. Ultimately finding someone aligned with the philosophy of the organization so they understand the story is already there and it is their job to unearth it, not recreate it. Find a partner Some film makers may limit the amount of time editing or changes to the production, but Pat encourages the listeners to find a partner in someone so that at the end of the day the video will tell the organization's story. Own your footage In other cases, there are content creators out there who will not allow the entity to own 100% of the raw footage in fear that they will find a different producer to make content with that footage. Pat tells the listeners that finding someone who does that right job, won't need to worry about keeping the footage. So, long story short, own 100% of the raw footage and find a producer that allows for this.

On today's episode Tosha brings on guest Dana Snyder. Dana is the host of Missions to Movements and she is also the creator of the monthly Giving Mastermind. Dana and Tosha's conversation today will focus on digital marketing and how this tool can be leveraged, especially in nonprofit organizations, to assist in fundraising. Marketing is a fun game in the business world. The misconception is that marketing is the 'art class' to business. All the pretty graphics and eye catching fonts combined with the data gathered from the rest of the team makes for the perfect marketing piece. This couldn't be further from the reality of what marketing truly is.This misconception even stretches into nonprofits. Tosha starts the conversation by asking Dana her thoughts on another misconstrued opinion on marketing. Many 501c(3)s treat social media as a passive necessity. 'Sure, it's there and we should probably use it, but just because everyone else does.' - Some nonprofit (probably). Is there intentionality behind the use of social media and digital marketing within nonprofits? Let's find out. Dana believes it truly does depend on the circumstance. It seems like COVID is talked about in nearly every episode, yet this was such a significant event that impacted the way we do business today. In Dana's opinion, COVID forced many businesses to lean into the digital marketing age and rely on it more than ever. That's easy to see, when a group of people were confined to the inside, and left with the internet to communicate. This is one side of the coin. The other side is the intentionality of business planning with a marketing budget in mind. Dana has seen a lot of success when individuals with for-profit experience come to the nonprofit space. They tend to understand the importance of marketing and how this creates a brand. We mentioned that the aesthetics are not all the marketing is, however it is a huge piece of it. Dana shares that when businesses have invested into marketing through means of establishing a budget, they can allocate these funds to their websites, designs, logos, and overall brand.When a business invests into marketing, they are investing in the quality of their brand. And we know this is impactful, because this is ultimately the brand's reputation. When consumers, investors, donors, or whomever the business is trying to attract has a quality experience associated with the brand, cohesiveness is created setting the stage for growth. Tosha raises some great points when it comes to taking a look at a nonprofit's 'self-view'. With plenty of experience in the nonprofit space, Tosha wonders if nonprofits aren't taking a hard look at their 'digital storefront', is the business being represented to its full capacity or being authentically portrayed to the outside world? If providing the best service there is, yet most are unaware of this service, then are their missing pieces?She is also launching a virtual event; the Monthly Giving Summit on September 5th & 6th. This will focus on building subscriptions for good. The event will host panel discussions, corporate partnership presentations, 1-to-1 networking with other nonprofits, and even small breakout sessions. The goal is to remove any smoke and mirrors to allow organizations to have those real conversations with each other about where they are in the business. Please be sure to engage with the interview.

Henry Cloud said, “As a leader, you always get what you create and what you allow.” Every company has a culture whether they built it or allowed it. Dana explains how to build and measure the culture of a company in a fast-moving environment. Tosha shares how she serves her communities with “intentionality” in everything she does. A simple smile, kind words, or helping to brighten someone's day has a powerful impact.  

There isn't much that Trina Ramsey can't do. We welcome her and her many talents to the podcast today and are excited to talk about all things leadership. Trina is an Executive and Career coach, author, speaker, and non-profit consultant. She is the founder of Just Do You Institute for Women's Empowerment. Scarcity vs Abundance When it comes to leading an organization, there are an endless number of variables to consider. When asked about the unique things that nonprofit leaders may struggle with, Trina answers with abundance. First, it's important to consider what a nonprofit leader might consider as focal points for their business. Relationships with funders Grant opportunities Turnover ratios and hiring opportunities Conflicts with the Board of Directors Multiple expectations The list could go on and on. As a piece of this puzzle, Trina comments on how many leaders will focus on categories like these and how there simply aren't enough people, hours, or opportunities out there. This, she calls the scarcity mindset. Tosha builds on this by relating to the pressures of leadership in any industry. As we may have heard on the The Modern Nonprofit Podcast before, stepping into a leadership role at a nonprofit organization can be analogous to stepping into a fortune 500 company and all of the expectations that come with it. Shareholders are actually board members, government requirements are similar to the SEC's observance of large corporations, and long story short - all eyes are on you to make the right decisions and lead the entity to success. When it comes to having a positive mindset, it can also help to look at what positives the pandemic brought to the workplace. We learn that there was a heightened awareness of the social and emotional well-being of literally all of us, but more specifically those in the workplace. Because of this, we can see more investment into the areas of rest, time off, and policies around wellness. Even more so, businesses today will invest in benefits that can be utilized for therapy, or creating spaces for having those real and difficult conversations about life. Creating a culture and space for these conversations to take place can have a significant impact on the workplace and those within it. If you'd like to connect with Trina you can find her all over the web.
