This is the Podcast Episode Bringing Awareness to Domestic Violence. While we as a society are dealing with the current events of the day (global health pandemic; social injustice; political landscape; stay-at-home orders). Regarding this health pandemic, there are individuals and families who are suffering in darkness; crying out for help.

A New Covid-19 Crisis: Domestic Abuse Rises Worldwide
Movement restrictions aimed to stop the spread of the coronavirus may be making violence in homes more frequent, more severe and more dangerous.
With families in lockdown, there’s been an increase in domestic violence cases (according to the April 2020 New York Times article).

We mostly hear about the stories of women and children. It’s rare that we hear about men who are also domestic violence survivors. Our guest today is one of them. He continues to share his story with others as a unique way to take back his life and to “keep moving forward.” He’s spoken at universities; coffee shops; parks; schools and special events. Additionally, he’s testified in front of a Senate Judiciary Committee, bringing awareness to Domestic Violence and the impact the experience has on people. Our guest has a continuing campaign called the Blake Late Show - meeting people and having them share their thoughts on a poster board to get him featured on The Late Show (at the time of the campaign’s beginning, Stephen Colbert was the host - November 2015 - 2016). To our listeners, I would advise that if you have young children with you, now would be the time to pause and move to a space where you’re able to listen to this podcast. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome our guest for today, Mr. Ron Blake!

This is our podcast episode Being My True Authentic Self. During this global health pandemic, it’s truly challenged us as human beings to see within ourselves what we’re capable of and how we are able to navigate through all the current events impacting our communities. The life as we knew it before the pandemic hit the United States has COMPLETELY changed! I hear some people say during these extraordinary times, there is an awakening of minds in a lot of us. It’s no longer the same old routine. People are making changes for the better or some may want to remain the same. As the saying goes, Change is good. There are some people who are coming into their own; creating a space to be heard and to be their true authentic selves while maintaining their mental health.

Our guest today is the Founder of the Austin Trauma Therapy Center in Austin, TX. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker; a Clinical Therapist and a Trauma-informed Yoga teacher, working with incarcerated individuals/juveniles and grassroots organizations around the criminal justice system. We’ll find out what she’s up to in helping others cope and adapt to the daily stresses of life. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Ms. Diana Anzaldua.

Whether your grief is fresh or decades old, interpersonal or existential, ecological or ancestral, you are welcome to bring it to the ritual space for expression and release.

This grief ritual may appeal to you if:
