Podcasts about unexpected gift

"... If donors are largely unaware of fluctuations in the grants received by charities, then reductions in fund-raising becomes a sensible explanation for crowding out..."This week, I came across a large scale research article from 2009 titled, “Is Crowding Out Due Entirely to Fundraising?”Reflection questions:If your organization suddenly lost significant government funding, what unique strengths, especially through your donor relationships, could you leverage to better serve your specific community's needs?The nonprofit sector has faced profound shifts before.  Will you ponder with me how our current challenges could bring unexpected gifts as well?Reflection on quotesThe last three months have highlighted a critical challenge many nonprofits face: the delicate balance between government funding and private donations. Many nonprofits have built programs around federal grants, only to see them reduced or eliminated, leaving the organization scrambling to fill the gap.  So many of my coaching sessions have centered around this issue.  One striking statistic from this 17 year look-back research is that every $1000 grant reduces giving by $727. So, I invite you to join me in reflecting on how the reversal of "crowding out effect” that federal funding has on fundraising may actually help us build more sustainable funding models for the future.Let's be honest – the loss of federal funding creates real hardship. When grants and contracts disappear, the impact is immediate and often devastating. Programs get cut, staff positions eliminated, and communities lose vital services. I've worked with many organizations facing this exact situation, and I want to acknowledge that rebuilding fundraising capacity takes time – often multiple years – and private donations rarely replace federal dollars on a one-to-one basis.But here's what I am pondering.  Smaller, local nonprofits have something that larger institutions often lack: nimbleness and deep community connections. When a nonprofit is no longer bound by rigid federal guidelines, the nonprofit gains the freedom to design programs that truly reflect their community's unique needs and strengths.I've witnessed a remarkable transformation when an organization shifts from "We need to design this program to meet grant requirements" to "We need to design this program to meet our community's actual needs." This pivot often leads to more innovative, responsive, and ultimately sustainable services.  This pivot also tends to engage our donors more deeply into the mission.This engagement could create a more diverse and loyal donor base. Unlike government funding that can disappear with budget cuts or changing priorities, community-based support tends to be more stable and adaptable over time. Our donors become true partners in our mission rather than just funding sources.What do you think? Send me a text.

The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: Finding Growth After Pain with Dr. Edith Shiro In this episode, you'll hear:  Practical steps to move from trauma to post-traumatic growth Tips for identifying a support group that truly aids your healing journey How generational trauma is passed down through genetics and the power you have to break the cycle Dr. Edith Shiro is a highly respected clinical psychologist, author, and speaker specializing in trauma and post-traumatic growth. She co-founded the Trauma and Resilience Center in Miami, Florida, and is the author of The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: The Path to Post-Traumatic Growth. As the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor and a Syrian refugee, Dr. Shiro's personal history deeply informs her work, inspiring her mission to help individuals break cycles of generational trauma. Growing up as a Jewish woman in Venezuela before immigrating to the U.S. to pursue her education and career, she embodies resilience and transformation.  In this episode, Mathew, Dr. Dave Leicken, and Dr. Edith Shiro dive into the complex and deeply personal topic of generational trauma, exploring how it is not only passed down through learned behaviors but is embedded in our genetics. Dr. Shiro shares the stages needed to get to post-traumatic growth, starting with radical acceptance of one's experiences. They explore the idea that trauma, though painful, can hold unexpected gifts. The conversation sheds light on the inevitability of trauma as part of the human experience, how its impact is deeply subjective, and what it takes to shift from suffering to growth. They also discuss the importance of timing, knowing when you're truly ready to heal, and the difference between letting go and not caring. Finally, they address the critical role of support, distinguishing between helpful and harmful support groups and how to recognize if the people you turn to are aiding your healing or keeping you stuck in pain. “Let's understand what trauma is…Anything that can happen to you that shakes or shatters your belief system about yourself, about the other, about the world, for which you don't have tools or you don't have resources to deal with.” -Dr. Shiro “Time is a myth because you can't say ‘Time heals all'. It's what you do with time.” - Dr. Shiro “Yes we get passed on traumas, but we also get passed on treasures, and we also get passed on wisdom.” -Dr. Shiro Follow the podcast:  Listen on Apple Podcasts (link: https://apple.co/3s1YH7h)  Listen on iHeart (link: https://ihr.fm/3MEY7FM)  Listen on Spotify (Link: https://spoti.fi/3yMmQCE)    Resources: The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: The Path to Posttraumatic Growth By Dr. Edith Shiro Dr. Edith Shiro's Website Dr. Dave Leicken   Connect with Mathew Blades:  Twitter - twitter.com/MathewBlades Instagram - instagram.com/MathewBladesmedia/  Facebook - facebook.com/mathewbladesmedia/  Website - learnfrompeoplewholivedit.com/   Additional Credits: LFPWLI is managed by IMS LLC   A note from our partner, Better Than Bitter:   Divorce isn't just a life transition - it's a full-blown identity shift.

There is richness in different generations, cultures, and even denominational traditions. We unite around core truths — like the authority of Scripture and the resurrection of Jesus — but we don't have to be spiritual clones." -Melissa ZaldivarLeave a comment: https://incourage.me/?p=251866--This Easter, prepare your heart and home with Simply Jesus: Easter — a keepsake magazine from DaySpring.

This season really reminds us how God's blessings can come unexpectedly. My brother, battling cancer while running his plumbing business, always helps our friend Mandy's family without charging them. Instead, he happily accepts these homemade cheese balls they make - they're like his favorite treat. Both Mandy's dad and my brother are fighting cancer, and they've formed this sweet support system.Recently, Mandy tried to give my brother something extra after a job. He insisted on no cash, just the usual cheese trade. But she handed him a check for $1,000 from her church, explaining they wanted to help after hearing about his kindness and his fight. When my brother told me about it later I could tell he was just overwhelmed by their generosity. It's these acts of love, from people he's never met, that truly show the depth of Christ's love in action.

Starting with an introduction that sets the tone for Packers Week, Sal details the crazy, unique, and fun experiences she's encountered over her years as a passionate Vikings fan. She shares stories from her four trips to Lambeau Field, touching on everything from game-day excitement to personal relationships. Sal recounts her first visit in 2014, marred by rain and a tough loss, yet highlighted by amazing 50-yard-line seats gifted by an ex-boyfriend. This trip was particularly memorable due to the controversy surrounding her taking another man with those tickets, ultimately leading to an awkward yet solo adventure. She continues to narrate the dramatic stories of her 2015 season, including dating a Packers fan, attending a high-stakes division-deciding game, and the emotional rollercoaster that followed. The episode also explores Sal's mixed feelings about Packers fans and candid thoughts on Vikings season ticket holders who sell their tickets to rival fans. An unexpected text from her ex recalls vividly suppressed memories, adding a twist to the narrative. This episode is a heartfelt mix of nostalgia, rivalry, and personal growth, with Sal highlighting the passion and emotions tied to being a Vikings fan while humorously reflecting on past relationships and football fandom complexities. She ends the episode with a confident prediction for the upcoming game, encouraging feedback from her listeners, and promising more story-time episodes during the offseason or less busy weeks.

Instead, if you can be honest and say, "This is breaking me. What is the lesson here?" and dive deep into that pain to uncover the growth beneath, you're going to change the way you experience your life. Our guest today, Edith Shiro, a clinical psychologist and the author of "The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: The Path to Post-Traumatic Growth." Edith is here to teach us how to transform our suffering into our superpower.

Have you ever wondered how your fiercest critic could be your greatest teacher? Prepare to be enlightened as we uncover the hidden wisdom in the Purim story's villain, Haman, and learn why listening to our adversaries can offer life-altering insights. In an episode that brings Rabbi Yisrael Salanter's interpretations into the spotlight, we examine the value of paying attention to the critiques of our enemies. This concept can revolutionize our personal growth and strengthen the bonds within our community.Rabbi Samson Raphael Hirsch offers insights to dissect Haman's description of the Jewish nation as dispersed yet distinct, providing us with a profound understanding of the resilience of Jewish identity. We'll explore how Torah laws enrich our lives, guiding us in happiness, faith, work ethic, and patience, and how these eternal values have shaped a culture of perseverance in the face of adversity. This episode promises to reignite your appreciation for the unique Jewish principles and inspire a deeper commitment to the cultural and religious tenets that have been both a target and a triumph over historical threats like Haman. Join us for this enriching journey through the Purim story as we seek to embrace the lessons that even our enemies can teach us.Support the showJoin the WhatsApp community for daily motivational Torah content!

The most unexpected part of Christmas is the reality that God came into the world. When we stop to think about the reality of what Christmas means, we can see just how unexpected it still is today. God took time to come into the world and share himself with the world. He came into the world as an infant, vulnerable and weak. How unexpected.

Join the celebration as we infuse the Christmas Day spirit with a good dose of humor and swirl the rumor about Dannii Minogue on the Eurovision stage,Regardless of whether your holiday haul meets your wish list, I'm here to remind you to honor your fabulousness and sprinkle your days with kindness and hope. Cheers to keeping the holidays "sweet and dangly," and to embracing the unique joy in each and every day.Support the show#eurovision

For many of us, motherhood is anything but easy. From blowouts, to tantrums, learning difficulties, health problems, constant noise, conflict inside and outside our homes --the possibilities for us to feel like we are in an impossible season are endless. Sometimes this feeling of “hard” can feel completely overwhelming.And the truth is that some of the demands of modern parenting that feel really hard are signs that something actually is wrong.  When things are hard and overwhelming it is a good idea to wisely evaluate what is causing the "hard." But is hard always a negative thing? Or could challenging circumstances actually be a gift in disguise? In what ways has worldly thinking colored the way Christians talk about the “hard” aspects of parenting? Listen in to a helpful conversation with Abbie Halberstadt, Bible believing mom to ten and author of M is for Mama and Hard is Not the Same Thing as Bad about evaluating hard situations and allowing the Lord to refresh our mindset.

In episode 108, I chat with Dr. Edith Shiro, a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), and posttraumatic growth (PTG). She is the author of the book "The Unexpected Gift of Trauma: The Path to Posttraumatic Growth:Highlights:1.    There are three outcomes post a traumatic experience - You are either stuck in the trauma, you bounce back, or you bounce forward (this is called Post Traumatic Growth)2.    There are many external and internal factors that influence how you respond to trauma 3.    Ruminating is related to negative outcomes – a tip here is to allow yourself permission to ruminate for a specific amount of time and then move on to something else4.    One consistent factor related to positive outcomes is a supportive social network5.    It is not the event itself that is so traumatic – it is the consequence of feeling isolated and unable to connect with others6.    Think about moving through your trauma in 5 steps: Awareness, Awakening, Becoming, Being, and Transforming7.    Remember the process is not linear8.    Experiencing a trauma is not a life sentence – there is hope for transformation 9.    Be open to the possibility that the trauma could eventually be perceived as a gift10. Post Traumatic Growth is a process that takes time and courage, but you can turn pain into purpose and turn breakdowns into break throughs  Connect with EdithFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/dr.edithshiro/IG @dr.edithshiroYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMzbYxxY904Website: www.dredithshiro.comGet the book here: https://amzn.to/3q4KY1WGet The Happy Doc Student Handbook: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0578333732Other resources at: http://Expandyourhappy.com Support this free content: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/expandyourhappyWant to make my day?

For so many years, I believed that there was something inherently wrong with me and that there was nothing I could do about it.  For so many years, I believed I was unworthy and unlovable. I then learned in 2017  that all of this was a big lie. The problem wasn't me. The problem was my unresolved childhood trauma. I was an adult child - and that there were other people who once felt exactly as I did and found a way to recover.  That was the moment my life began. I have spent the subsequent years diligently working on unearthing the person I was always meant to be. In today's episode, I reflect on the divinely inspired journey that led me to creating this podcast and the truth that all of us are exactly where we are supposed to be experiencing exactly what we are supposed to be experiencing. AND THEN.... The Tale of 2 Brians continues.Sports Fantology⬇️DAMN THE JOIN PATREON - ADULT CHILD HEALING C OMMUNITY⬇️https://www.patreon.com/adultchild
