What happens when you mix a new mom, a cancer survivor, and a safe food advocate? You get a potpourri of invaluable insights, and that's exactly what we bring you today as we host Madeline Klevin, MPH, Safe and Healthy Food Program Coordinator with FACT. Madeline shares her journey with cancer and how it shaped her view of food safety. Imagine a world where you are conscious of every morsel you eat, every pill you pop - That's Madeline's world, and she invites us into it, talking about the need for moderation in antibiotic usage and the implications of misuse, particularly on the vulnerable among us.

In the second part of our chat, we navigate the frightening terrain of antibiotic overuse and its consequences. Madeline draws from her experience and challenges us to shift our focus towards local and sustainable food systems. Is the FDA doing enough? Are organizations such as the Food Animal Concerns Trust making headway in curbing antibiotic resistance? We wrestle with these questions and more. We also explore the actions we, as individuals, can take in supporting a more sustainable food system. And guess what? There's a special treat waiting in the show notes! Listen in and equip yourself with the knowledge to stay healthy and promote sustainability. The journey to safe food consumption starts here!

I had the pleasure of speaking to Precious Brady-Davis on afternoon in July 2021. She recently published her book, I Have Always Been Me, in which she describes her childhood in great depth. She was abandoned... several times but key parental figures in her life.

She realized that she was "different" and so did others. This meant that her biracial background was an area of contention, as well as her "feminine" ways.

Precious has gone through tremendous obstacles, and used her faith as a foundation of her transition--both for gender as well as being vocal.

I enjoyed this interview, and am excited to share it with you.

My eyes blink rapidly while the rest of my face goes blank, and my body just goes limp. Why?

I realize that I still have a minimum of 2-3 loads of laundry to do, meal prep to complete for a few days, so I can build more "time" into the next few days, and declutter nearly every room because I am the owner of single socks. 

I can feel a slight chill all over my body, my ribs tightening and my mind going back in time when I truly thought that handling motherhood, a career, pets, utilities were things I could do easily.  

But, with a small intake of breath, I realize that easy is not what I can describe this as. The reason: doing it all is just too much. 

I need help, and if I can't get help, I need to give myself a break.

Motherhood is not for every woman, and I respect that. I knew I wanted to be a mom, but I didn't realize the amount of time a little growing human takes from your time...even when they are not around. Knowing that I am of my son, still makes my heart race with excitement of truth and possibility. I am divorced, and though I have a cooperative co-parenting situation, I still know that the house, the job, the yard, the pets, the car upkeep, the groceries, etc., are mine alone.  

According to this Motherly article, over 90 % of mothers feel burnt out. What can change that? 

Self-care, but also, recognizing that in no way, shape or form, was it always meant to be on the mom's shoulders-married or not. Asking for help, saying no, and accepting your own limitations with regard to time and energy is important. 

The motherly article points out Brene Brown is the Call to Courage Netflix program... leaning into the discomfort, and going with it.

Belonging: how to be excluded

Connection: how to build the connection

Shame: fear of disconnection

Peacemaker

Peacekeepers

     We have heard of these terms, and we tend to know who keeps the peace, and who disrupts it. But, is that "assignment" healthy for us?

     Have you ever heard of the term Shock-Absorber? I had never heard of this term prior to reading Dr. Caroline's Leaf's Blog.  I have been following her work for quite some time, especially when she was interviewed by Steven Furtick.  

     She is a communication pathologist and cognitive neuroscientist with a Master's and PhD in Communication Pathology. She loves research, and how this relates to how we communicate with each other, and how we communicate within ourselves.

     I invite you to listen to this podcast to hear my views on this topic and how this relates to self-esteem and self-worth.

 

If you enjoy listening to my podcast, please consider leaving a 5-star review and subscribing. And keep sharing episodes with friends and family and on social media.

Being single can be liberating and it can be scary.

It all depends on the circumstances. But, many of us find if a challenge, even if it is "for the best."

What does this have to do with knowing your self-worth? Everything. Being newly single can make us question past decisions and current ones.

This podcast is about ways to honor the process of growing in your singleness and being ready and grounded for the future.


I review some of the comments from this article.  And, there is help available if you have been abused.

• Rehash past traumas
