Is there anything that beats a good talk with a friend or a loved one? Being able to laugh, share stories, and smile on how the universe has brought you two together. 

Now try doing that but with people who you don't like, or people you've never met before, or people who you've sworn as an enemy. 

Jared Seide is the Executive Director of Beyond Us and Them. He has designed, piloted and coordinated council-based programs in prisons, assisted living facilities, youth groups and a variety of non-profit, faith-based organizations, social service and law enforcement agencies. 

I have people who are very near to me that have been in prison or who are law enforcement officers so this conversation hit home for me. I think we need to explore this more, especially now that Jared's work has biometric proof that it's helpful.

Also -  I used my macbook pro mic and I feel like it's not the usual quality that we typically have. Thanks for standing by my side as I figure out the virtual workflow!

Welcome to season 3, episode 11 of the Today is the Day Changemakers Podcast. 

We will be ending our brief interview hiatus in the wake of the wonderful Today is the Day Changemakers International Forum with an excellent kickstart. 

I am pleased to welcome the amazing author, editor, and health guru extraordinaire, Jared Seide onto this week's episode.

Jared Seide is the author of “Where Compassion Begins: Foundational Practices to Enhance Mindfulness, Attention and Listening from the Heart” and editor of "Leaving Prison Behind: A Council Before I Go.". He is also the founder of two highly successful health- focused organizations. Jared Seide does it all and we are tremendously excited to have him. 

Jared firmly believes in the power of council and rehabilitation. He is the executive director of the nonprofit Center for Council, which promotes social, emotional, and physical wellness through extensive training of those involved. Additionally, Jared has spearheaded specific training operations. One is geared towards promoting positive interactions regarding police officers titled POWER: Peace Officer Wellness, Empathy and Resiliency. Another is CARE: Compassion, Attunement, Resilience Education, which is aimed at those in the healthcare field. Jared has also worked with incarcerated individuals through the Council for Insight, Compassion, and Resilience as well as the Council Reentry Program. Within the highly impactful organizations Jared has created, there is a common theme of peace and love, which he exudes within his interview. Jared Seide truly wishes the best for all people on earth and it shows organically through his life’s work and his sunny disposition.

Next week my guest is Tamara Sabatino. She shares her personal story about being the mom of a child who has been bullied and needed ongoing mental health support to overcome the trauma. Tamara is now helping other mothers navigate advocating for their child's mental health and well-being when school leaders and others fall short.
