— As they were finalizing their manuscript, Ronni's daughter sent them a screengrab of an Instagram post from “jabbieapp” that read: “Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Not only did they experience years of generational trauma but they stood in the face of the trauma and fought to say, “This ends with me.” This is brave. This is powerful. This comes at a significant cost. Never underestimate a cycle breaker. Ronni and Jennie read it, and cried. A few weeks later, Ronni found a post on Instagram from Xavier Dagba and sent it to Jennie: “All this time you thought you were nothing but the black sheep of your lineage, whereas you were being initiated to be their liberator. Healing looks good on you. Keep going. Jennie cried, and something in her shifted. These two amazing sisters started their journey with a sincere desire to spare their children the pain they had endured—to break the intergenerational cycle of abuse and addiction so that they could live beautiful lives. They also hoped that they could reparent themselves and live beautiful lives of their own. And they did, if imperfectly. Though they are still learning and growing, Ronni and Jennie have each created something well beyond what we could have imagined at the beginning of this ride. This means they are more than survivors. They are, indeed, rockstars!!!

— Most individuals who have been victimized by their families do not become aware of their abuse until they have reached adulthood. We experience very distinct and expected dynamics when we grow up in a home that is characterized by violence, addiction, and abuse. Denial is the most basic of these. Fear is another key dynamic. Trying to unravel a lifetime of emotional pain, fear and dysfunction is a distressing slow task. Healing requires examining what has happened, and is happening right now at all levels —mentally, emotionally, and physically. This episode is about two sisters and survivors who found a way to come to light from a tragic cycle of inter-generational trauma and abuse. Valeria interviews Ronni Tichenor and Jennie Weaver — the author of “Healing Begins With Us: Breaking The Cycle Of Trauma And Abuse And Rebuilding The Sibling Bond”  Ronni Tichenor has a PhD in sociology, specializing in family studies, from the University of Michigan, and Jennie Weaver, has received her degree from the Vanderbilt School of Nursing and is a board-certified family nurse practitioner with over 25 years of experience in family practice and mental health.

Research from the CDC shows that more than 60 percent of adults report having had a least one adverse childhood experience (ACE), and nearly 25 percent report three or more. The most prevalent are emotional abuse, parental separation or divorce, and household substance abuse. But other examples include physical abuse, domestic violence in the home, and emotional and physical neglect.  It may sound odd, but many people who were victimized by their families don't fully realize it until they are well into adulthood. Growing up in a home with addiction and abuse creates very distinct and predictable dynamics. Today's special guests, sisters and survivors Ronni Tichenor and Jennie Weaver found a way to emerge from a tragic cycle of inter-generational trauma and abuse. The authors share it in their book Healing Begins With Us: Breaking the Cycle of Trauma and Abuse and Rebuilding the Sibling bond.

This podcast is from “The “I” That Teaches” series - a video project that invites senior scholars to talk about their teaching lives. These scholar-teachers candidly discuss how religious, educational, and family backgrounds inform their vocational commitments and, also, characterize their teaching persona. From the vantage point of a practiced teaching philosophy we get an intimate account of the value and art of teaching well. In this episode, we feature an interview with Victor Anderson, Vanderbilt School of Divinity.  

On today's episode we discuss: — Climate: The Immunization Action Coalition and the Vanderbilt School of Medicine discuss the progress of developing a COVID-19 vaccine, detailing the 11 vaccines in phase 1/2 clinical trials and the inclusion of multiple countries in the development of a Target Product Profile, a tool for quantifying critical vaccine characteristics. The authors emphasize the need for well-established infrastructure and logistical planning in order to distribute a potential COVID-19 vaccine safely and effectively to the world in a timely manner. — Epidemiology: Researchers in the United States and United Kingdom used Twitter data to predict human mobility in and out of China and estimate global spread of COVID-19 and found a high correlation between country-level Twitter user visits and reported COVID-19 cases. These findings highlight the utility of geolocated platforms for public health authorities to develop response protocols and assess impending risks of COVID-19. — Transmission and Prevention: Based on literature of prostaglandins in SARS-CoV-1 and MERS-CoV, a group from the University of Edinburgh cite the potential roles of multiple prostaglandins (including PGD2, PGE2, PGI2) in the pathogenesis of COVID-19 and consider the possible benefits of NSAID usage in COVID-19 patients. — Management: A study found that among 59 patients with symptoms consistent with COVID-19, fibrinogen levels were markedly higher in patients who ultimately tested positive on RT-PCR compared to those who tested negative. Additionally, the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio was increased in critically ill COVID-19 patients. These results suggest that fibrinogen may have value as a diagnostic marker in patients with suspected COVID-19 and that neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio may be useful as a prognostic marker indicative of COVID-19 disease severity. — Adjusting Practice: A cross sectional study of 26 heart failure patients found a 16.2% decrease in daily step count on wearable accelerometers during the first 3 weeks of quarantine compared to regular activity suggesting that widespread COVID-19 quarantine mandates were detrimental to physical activity habits in these patients. These findings highlight the importance of physical activity during the pandemic in reducing deterioration in cardiovascular health. — R&D Diagnosis and Treatment: Investigators in China measured SARS-CoV-2-specific antibodies among moderate and severe COVID-19 patients as well as non-COVID-19 patients and found that IgA and IgG were higher among severe patients compared to moderate patients whereas no difference was observed between the groups in IgM. Based on their findings, the authors suggest that IgA-IgG serological diagnosis of COVID-19 may be more effective than the traditional detection of IgM-IgG combined antibodies. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/covid19lst/support

The Cumberland River experiences a high concentration of litter after rainfall events. This litter eventually degrades into microplastics which can negatively impact wildlife and human health. Most of this litter flows into the Cumberland River through smaller streams. The Cumberland River Compact worked with Vanderbilt School of Engineering students to design a device that can be placed in smaller streams in Nashville to capture surface litter before it ever reaches the Cumberland. In this interview, we hear from the students about the creation of the device, lessons learned, and next steps for implementation.

Together they have a daughter and son. We talk about the following: His companies, Sagents and Salescocktail.com The importance of public speaking Why it is important to give back Reasons to adopt SaaS LeShane's Social Media LeShane's Twitter: @LSGreenhill Sales Cocktail Twitter: @SalesCocktail LeShane's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/leshanegreenhill/ LeShane's Resources I've put together a PDF form of 15 different SaaS platforms that we've used personally within our company. For your listeners who want that PDF file, they can just text us sales cocktail, the word sales cocktail 615-510-6364 .  LeShane's Advice I mentioned earlier, one of the reasons why small businesses don't use technology is because when they Google it, they get so many options. They don't know which one is best for them and they just give up. On our website Sales Cocktail, we have a recommendation engine. Where we ask questions, like the size of your company, the industry that you're in and the type of software you're looking for and then your name and email.  It spits out a recommended list of platforms from the criteria you just entered in in there and there's no cost for that. The reason why we did that is because we want small businesses to get over this analysis of trying to figure out what to do and what to use. So, I guess that that's a long way of saying, use technology to increase your bottom line.   See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Can changes in your psychology create physical symptoms? Is there such a thing as "non-disease"? In this utterly compelling episode, a true medical detective - Dr. Clifton Meador - explains how he came to understand that some symptoms and diseases emerge from the "life narrative" of the patient. If a doctor listens hard enough, the patient will often volunteer the reasons for his or her health struggles. He asserts that all patients should consider their diet, chemical exposures and stress levels, and partner with their doctor in a "medical detective" team in order to uncover the root causes of symptoms and illness. Dr Meador says: "I came to fully understand that the mind and the body were one – not separated, not disconnected. What affected one also affected the other. Sitting above all the molecules, tissues, organs, and mind of the human body was an integrated person. This person was connected to a family and perhaps to a spouse, and the family was connected to some social structure and society at large. All this social structure impinged on the person, and the person impinged on the social structure. There was a continuum all the way from society to the person to the organs and even down to the molecules. There were no separated pockets or islands. There certainly was no mind separated from a body. " ---------- Dr. Clifton K. Meador Biography Dr Clifton K Meador has been practising and teaching medicine for over 60 years. He has written fifteen books and published articles in esteemed medical journals such as NEJM. Fascinated by patients with symptoms of hidden origin and by patients who carried diagnoses of non-existent diseases, he recorded his experiences in his books Symptoms of Unknown Origin, Puzzling Symptoms and Fascionomas – fascinating medical mysteries. A Graduate of Vanderbilt University School of Medicine in 1955, Dr. Meador trained at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital in New York, and Vanderbilt Medical School where he completed a National Institutes for Health fellowship in Endocrinology. After practicing medicine, he joined the faculty of medicine at UAB, where he was Professor of Medicine and then Dean of the University of Alabama School of Medicine at UAB from 1968 – 1973.
