What good is financial wealth if you don't have the health to enjoy it? That's the question at the center of my eye-opening conversation with Lisa Brooking, CEO of Healthcode Medical. With her background as a critical care nurse and elite marathon runner, Lisa is transforming how we think about health—from reactive “sick care” to proactive wellness optimization.Lisa shares how traditional medicine often waits for symptoms to appear before acting, missing the chance to prevent disease altogether. At Healthcode Medical, her team treats health as a vital asset class, applying strategies similar to wealth management: early detection, ongoing monitoring, and personalized planning.Their cutting-edge diagnostics—from advanced brain scans to specialized MRIs—create a deep baseline to catch issues early and optimize wellness. Lisa's most powerful insight? That poor health quietly restricts your freedom—limiting travel, activity, and quality of life. True luxury, she argues, isn't material—it's the vibrant health to fully enjoy your life.This philosophy mirrors my own approach to managing wealth: be proactive, informed, and intentional. Healthcode's efficient, boutique two-day assessment equips clients with actionable insights and continuous support for sustainable change.Want to invest in your greatest asset—your health?

What launches us into life strong and secure? Knowing the Father heart of God – His protection, healing, peace, provision, and presence. Christian counselor, speaker, and author, Michelle Nietert, coauthor with Lynn Cowell of Strong and Secure: 100 Devotions for Young Women says, “We believe that God desires a deep and intimate relationship with each of us”. Leaving what is familiar to step into the unknown can be exciting and scary at the same time. In order to fully swing into the new, we need to let go of what was. As we do we can fix our eyes and God trusting that He is the same yesterday, today and forever.

In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael dives into the world of Shenandoah Reel Women, a remarkable initiative that offers fly fishing camps for young women aged 12 to 18. Joan Chapman, one of the directors, explains that the program aims to empower young women through hands-on outdoor experiences. Since its inception in 2021, the camps have evolved to include both novice and advanced levels, ensuring a comprehensive learning journey for all participants. The camps, held at the picturesque Shenandoah River State Park, provide a unique blend of adventure and education. Participants receive extensive training in fly fishing, including casting techniques, knot tying, and equipment maintenance. The camps also emphasize conservation education and river quality testing, fostering a deep connection with nature. One notable feature of the program is the mentorship initiative. Joan highlights how past campers, who have progressed to mentor roles, play a crucial part in guiding new participants.

The camps are designed to be accessible to all interested young women. With a reasonable registration fee that includes accommodation, meals, and fishing gear, the program ensures affordability. Additionally, full scholarships are available, ensuring that financial constraints do not hinder participation. Joan emphasizes the anonymity of scholarship recipients to maintain their privacy. Beyond fly fishing, the camps offer a holistic experience.

This multifaceted approach ensures that attendees leave with valuable life skills and cherished memories. For those interested, the novice camp runs from June 15th to June 19th at a cost of $150, while the advanced camp is scheduled from July 6th to July 10th at a cost of $100.

Episode 157 - Helping Young Women from Post-Conflict Countries with Annalise Bauer by Temple Beth Shalom

Episode Overview   What if your heaviest struggles could become sacred reminders of Christ's love? In today's episode of Sunshine in the Middle, I share a deeply personal story that taught me a powerful lesson about the Atonement of Jesus Christ. When I was serving as a Young Women's president, we planned a camp hike that turned into a sacred, unforgettable experience centered on Christ's ability to carry our burdens. I'll walk you through how a simple idea with rocks turned into a powerful, spirit-filled lesson—and how it ultimately changed me. Along the way, I'll share scriptures that have anchored me, moments when I pleaded for help, and the tender mercies I received that reminded me He truly carries us. This isn't just a story, it's my testimony—one I hope will help you see the Savior in your life, too.  Thanks for listening! I'm truly honored.

ATFT is back! On the thirty- ninth episode of All the Film Things, I talked with Black female filmmaker Shanita Brown! Shanita Brown is an award- winning Daytona-based filmmaker who has written and directed nine films so far. She has had quite a journey getting to where she is today. For one thing, she initially pursued a career in law with her passion being to help people. Even though she earned both Bachelor's and Masters law degrees, Shanita's life took a different route, and she found herself helping people through film instead. Before making her own films, Shanita worked in various roles on and off camera for ten years. In 2022, she released her first short film “Mine Since Birth” which had a successful film festival run. Ever since, she has continued to make her own short films, star and/ or work behind the scenes. In March 2023, Shanita was one of eight women honored at the Mary S. Harrell Black Heritage Museum in New Smyrna Beach for their reception centered on "Young Women to Set Your Sight On". She is also the Content Manager for the streaming service Gen X TV and was recently named the manager of the Cinematique theater in Daytona. Shanita's latest project is the drama short, “Tha Bone Collecta”. The short, inspired by real life, is focused around a group of close, longtime friends. One friend in the group, Shanita's character Laura Queen, learns the secrets of individuals within the group and causes drama by revealing it to other friends, making her “the bone collecta”. For this project, Shanita directed, wrote, starred in, and produced the film. While the film stars a great ensemble of women, this is the first time Shanita has starred as the lead in one of her own films! “Tha Bone Collecta” has just begun its film festival run and is expected to release on Gen X TV once the festival run is finished! The film will be having a premiere on Saturday, April 12 at the AMC Altamonte near Orlando, Florida, so if you're in the area or want to make the trip, go to the premiere! While you're waiting for “Tha Bone Collecta” to be available on streaming, check out some of Shanita's past work on Gen X TV and the Shanita Brown Films Youtube channel by clicking this link!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC92QB5m4bFUYvj4IEHMuqJw Shanita loves connecting with filmmakers so if you want to work with her, reach out to her on Instagram @ShanitaABrown on Instagram or follow her on Facebook under her name Shanita A. Brown! This is Shanita's first appearance on ATFT! We met working together on the set of the short film "Time Will Tell" (alongside past ATFT guests Vesta Millard and Manny Plaza- Fernandez)! From our first conversation, I gained so much from talking with her. Aside from one, admittedly, hilarious prank she pulled on me, she was so kind and I always looked forward to coming to set just to converse with her. We instantly connected and Shanita is without a doubt one of the best people I've been fortunate enough to meet on set. I had been wanting to interview her ever since I met her but I waited until the very end of the shoot to ask her which made for a funny moment at dinner after word got out about my podcast. There were a few technical difficulties in regard to the audio so I apologize that it is not the same quality as usual. This episode was recorded on March 20, 2025. In this episode, Shanita shares her journey from initially aspiring to become a lawyer to working in the industry to making her own films. Filmmakers will especially benefit from Shanita's stories and mindset navigating the industry. Shanita also talks about her love of Halle Berry, having no fear when it comes to the horror genre, working with Brad Pitt on his new film F1, and her biggest- and perhaps surprising- career goal. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

The musical film The Little Mermaid was released in cinemas on 24 May 2023. This movie highlights the importance of representations in the media. This effect has a name: the Scully Effect. The combination made for an unprecedented representation of women on TV at the time, with audiences far more accustomed to seeing scientists played by white men. The fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics are grouped together under the name of STEM professions. And Dana Scully was one of the first female characters in such a field to feature on prime-time TV, which would inspire a generation of young women to start careers in STEM professions. The phenomenon has become referred to as the Scully Effect. Is there any data to back it up? Why did Scully become such an inspirational figure? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Send me a text! I'd LOVE to hear your feedback on this episode!This special episode is dedicated to young women, though mothers with daughters will want to share this valuable conversation with them. Prevention isn't about fear or perfectionism—it's about tuning into your body's intelligence and responding with balance and awareness.Have you considered how your body sometimes whispers warnings before health issues become serious problems? As someone who ignored those whispers until thyroid cancer forced me to listen, I'm passionate about helping young women develop health awareness and midlife women and beyond.I explore the rise in autoimmune conditions among women, how 80% of diagnoses are women, and how modern lifestyle factors contribute to this trend. Your body gives subtle signs long before serious illness develops, but only if you're paying attention. From disrupted circadian rhythms to constant digital stimulation, from highly processed foods to toxic personal care products, young women today face unprecedented challenges to their well-being.I share practical wisdom about reconnecting with your body's signals: eating whole foods when possible, setting healthy boundaries with technology, prioritizing restorative sleep, maintaining healthy vitamin D levels, and addressing emotional wellbeing. I also discuss the profound mind-body connection, particularly how unprocessed emotions and self-criticism can manifest physically.This conversation isn't about scolding or restriction—it's about empowerment through awareness. When you're truly in your body and listening to its wisdom, you naturally make choices that support balance and vibrant health. Share this episode with a young woman in your life who could benefit from these insights, and remember—balanced living works!Support the showPlease rate & review my podcast with a few kind words on Apple or Spotify.

Transcript coming soon Get 14-day access to the Core Leader Library Highlights 3:00 In Andrea's practice she meets many people who report they are feeling “spiritually worn-out”. This may happen because of mental health challenges, life struggles, a faith crisis or something else. Often they feel like they aren't getting the same answers to prayer as others, and they wonder if there's something wrong with themselves or everyone else. 6:00 Andrea has watched people who have left the church and those who are struggling with returning after Covid and describe how challenging it is to want to go back. Church can be like a wrestling match when managing young children. It is easier to watch from home when we don't need to worry about how our children may be affecting those around them. 9:30 Depression or anxiety may affect your ability to feel the spirit or share a testimony. Something you hear another share at church as a great spiritual experience or healing you have not received can be triggering and difficult to process, which can make it difficult to engage with church or members. This is one way you might feel spiritually worn out. 14:00 Sharing vulnerabilities may be one way to help members who are struggling with this type of spiritual exhaustion feel like they have a place to share and belong. We often share these vulnerabilities after they are resolved, but we don't share struggles in real time while they are happening. This real time sharing can take more courage and ultimately may be more helpful to yourself and others as you are able to connect with others who are struggling. 17:30 Covid has exacerbated these feelings in some members, because depression and anxiety are fueled by loneliness and isolation. We should look out for the likely in our congregations to make them more welcoming places. Do less offering off a talk that will solve a problem and more inviting someone to lunch or to hang out. Remember they are “person(s) to be loved”. 19:10 People who are spiritually worn out often express feelings of being unlike others or punished by God. Others in a faith crisis may decide if the gospel equation is working for everyone else and not them, the problem is either with them or the system, and many reject the system all together and leave. Instruction like don't rehearse your doubts with other doubters can discourage these individuals who are already feeling like they don't believe our think the same as others from reaching out when they struggle. 24:30 One way to think of how spiritually-worn-out members engage is with a trauma model: fight, flight, or freeze. A freeze mentality might look like someone who attends church for years and years but not fully participating, reading scriptures, magnifying a calling, etc. There may be afraid of making things worse and so they just don't engage. Some who “fly” leave, often suddenly. There are some fighters who may post on social media and leave in a blaze of angry posts and others may still engage and tr...

Jodi Atkinson was born and raised in Utah, and has lived all over the state. She went to college at Utah Tech University in St. George, Utah, and graduated with an Associates Degree in Science. That was where she met and married her husband, Brian. She then took on her next greatest educational experience as the mother of five children. The family left Utah in 2011 and has since lived in Texas, Illinois, and in the Kansas City, Missouri area for the past seven years. Another adventure awaits, and they will be moving back to St. George this summer. Jodi is excited to go back to college and pursue a degree in Art. She has had many service opportunities within the Church that have enriched her life: Young Women president and advisor, youth Sunday School teacher, Young Women camp director, Primary counselor, Seminary teacher, and stake Young Women president. Jodi currently serves as an enthusiastic Primary teacher.
