Is Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) the revolutionary mental health treatment you've been hearing about, or just another fad?

Message me with comments or questionsWhat happens when you trade financial security for soul-fulfilling work? Pamela Pope's transformation from tech sales executive to fitness professional offers a masterclass in following your intuition despite fear and uncertainty.In this deeply personal conversation, Pamela shares how two corporate layoffs became the catalyst for embracing her true calling in the fitness world. Though initially intimidated by the financial implications, she discovered that the ability to witness her direct impact on clients' lives provided a satisfaction that no sales commission could match. "I finally feel like I'm doing what I was meant to be doing," she reflects, capturing the essence of vocational alignment.Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate Pamela's insights into the Legree method—a challenging Pilates-inspired workout focused on time under tension rather than flow—and how this training modality became her gateway into full-time fitness instruction. As both a personal trainer and master Legree instructor, she brings a unique perspective on sustainable health practices that prioritize long-term lifestyle changes over quick fixes.What truly distinguishes Pamela's approach is her commitment to authenticity. Rather than positioning herself as an untouchable fitness guru, she openly shares her own struggles with food and body image, creating deeper connections with clients. This vulnerability extends to her recent participation in the Hyrox endurance competition, where despite feeling intimidated by elite athletes, she embraced being outside her comfort zone and formed meaningful community connections.For anyone contemplating their own fitness journey, Pamela offers refreshingly practical advice: start absurdly small. Drawing from James Clear's "Atomic Habits," she advocates for micro-goals like taking a five-minute walk rather than attempting dramatic transformations that quickly fizzle out. Her philosophy centers on extending your "health span" to match your lifespan—maintaining functional independence and joy throughout your entire life.Ready to take your first small step toward lasting change?

Tune in for an uplifting and heartfelt chat with Scott Bagwill, the charismatic star of 1,000 Pound Best Friends! 

In today's episode of 'The Valley Today,' host Janet Michael sat down with the team at Blue Ridge Habitat for Humanity to discuss their impactful work in the community. The episode featured an in-depth conversation with Executive Director Kim Herbstritt, Aging in Place Coordinator Brittany Day, ReStore Manager Matt Sharp, and Assistant Manager Izzy France. Kim detailed Blue Ridge Habitat's mission and accomplishments, shedding light on the comprehensive home ownership and repair programs. She emphasized the organization's focus on providing affordable, decent housing and the importance of community support through donations and purchases from the ReStore. In the discussion about home ownership, Kim debunked the common misconception that Habitat gives homes away for free. She explained the rigorous process involving an application, mortgage payments, and a sweat equity requirement of at least 250 hours, which includes crucial tasks such as housing counseling and basic home repairs training. She also mentioned the organization's role in fostering generational wealth and community health through stable housing. Switching gears, Janet talks with Brittany Day about the Age Well Council and the Aging in Place and/or Critical Repairs program. Brittany shared heartwarming stories of seniors reclaiming their independence through simple but vital modifications like ramps and grab bars. She highlighted the collaborative efforts with other organizations to address food insecurity, transportation, and social isolation among seniors. The conversation then turned to the ReStore, where Matt Sharp and Izzy France gave an overview of the diverse range of items available for purchase, from furniture and appliances to construction supplies and tools. They encouraged the community to support by donating items in good condition and explained the easy, streamlined process for both donations and pickups. The episode wrapped up with a reminder from Janet and her guests to visit Blue Ridge Habitat's website: https://www.blueridgehabitat.org/ and follow them on social media for updates and opportunities to get involved. This conversation underscored the transformative power of community support and the pivotal role Blue Ridge Habitat plays in enhancing the lives of local families, seniors, and veterans.

In today's episode, I had the pleasure of exploring this mission with Dr. Canaan Van Williams, the Fund Manager of ProActive Real Estate Group. His work focuses on Naturally Occurring Affordable Housing (NOAA), helping underserved communities secure quality, affordable homes while delivering returns for investors.Dr. Canaan shared his passion for affordable housing through his latest project, Rancho Affordable Living, in Las Vegas. This 23-unit development provides low-income housing at 20–30% below market rates. It prioritizes second-chance housing for people previously evicted, unhoused, or escaping domestic violence. He explained, “Second chance housing is such a huge part of the low-income affordable housing sector. We tend to serve people who are anywhere from 50 to 30 percent AMI or below.”What makes this effort even more compelling is its focus on impact and speed. By revitalizing existing properties, ProActive Real Estate Group avoids the delays associated with subsidies, enabling quicker housing solutions. According to Canaan, “We're able to achieve above market-rate returns because we pass on the cost savings benefits of revitalizing what's existing.”For those who want to get involved, there's exciting news: ProActive Real Estate Group has a live Regulation Crowdfunding (Reg CF) campaign now. This democratizes investment opportunities, allowing non-accredited investors to support affordable housing while earning current income.Canaan brings a unique perspective to this work, drawing from his upbringing in Oakland, California, where his family benefited from affordable housing programs. This personal connection fuels his commitment to creating sustainable communities. “We do everything we can to help our residents,” he shared.Affordable housing projects like Rancho Affordable Living exemplify how mission-driven investments can combine social impact with financial returns. By investing in efforts like this, we can celebrate milestones like Juneteenth not just in words, but in action.tl;dr:Dr. Canaan Van Williams pioneers affordable housing projects like Rancho Affordable Living, offering below-market rents.His work prioritizes second-chance housing, helping underserved people rebuild their lives with dignity.ProActive Real Estate Group's Reg CF campaign allows everyone to invest in impactful housing solutions.Dr. Canaan's faith in God and humanity drives his compassionate approach to building sustainable communities.His advocacy for housing stability showcases the power of love, empathy, and mission-driven leadership.How to Develop Faith and Empathy As a SuperpowerDr. Canaan's superpower is rooted in his faith in God and humanity, coupled with a deep empathy for others. He said, “Our superpower is love. We really practice and demonstrate empathy as much as we possibly can.” This perspective drives his work, enabling him to create housing solutions that prioritize dignity and community for underserved populations. Dr. Canaan's faith inspires him to focus on impact first, trusting that everything else will follow.A compelling example of Dr. Canaan's superpower in action comes from a story about two single mothers in Las Vegas. Both women, homeless and struggling with expired Section 8 vouchers, reached out to him for help. Despite bureaucratic resistance, Canaan advocated on their behalf, convincing the housing office to reinstate their vouchers. His determination and empathy changed their lives, providing them with stable homes for their families.Tips for Developing Faith and Empathy as Strengths:Practice Compassion Daily: Look for opportunities to help others, even in small ways.Advocate Relentlessly: Stand firm for those in need, even when facing resistance.Stay Mission-Focused: Let your values guide your actions, especially in challenging situations.Draw Strength from Faith: Lean into your beliefs to sustain your commitment to doing good.By following Dr. Canaan's example and advice, you can make faith and empathy 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 ProfileDr. Canaan Van Williams (he/him):Fund Manager, ProActive Real Estate GroupAbout ProActive Real Estate Group: ProActive Real Estate Group is a mission-driven investment firm specializing in affordable housing that delivers both market-rate returns and measurable social impact.
