From PTSD to Post Traumatic Growth.  Lenora interviews Ken Falke, 21 year Navy veteran, entrepreneur, co-author of Struggle Well and founder of Bouldercrest.org.  Many are familiar with PTSD and the intense challenges that can follow the aftermath of trauma but too few know of the hope that can be found in Post Traumatic Growth. 

After extensive research and disappointing data on the mental health treatments for PTSD, Ken came upon the research of Dr. Rich Tadeschi and Post Traumatic Growth. From there he began a partnership to document and scale what has been discovered through those who've gone on to thrive after trauma.

Boulder Crest foundation locations in Virginia and Arizona have been the proving ground to test and improve the program and now Boulder Crest Institute can equip others in the methodology to scale this effective program to countless other locations.

The interview and conversation is honest and brings awareness to the low percentage of success until this proven program approach.  You'll want to get the book "Struggle Well" and share this information with veterans and first responders struggling with PTS or PTSD.

Visit Bouldercrest.org for more information and to discover new hope for a future where individuals and their families can learn to thrive after trauma.

This podcast and video was recorded under the former podcast name "3Ps In A Pod" Episode 10, a podcast hosted by Lenora, daughter of a Korean War veteran and program Director for youth and veterans at a Fortune 500 company.

3Ps in a Pod is about discovering purpose, connecting pathways and pondering perspectives.  Host Lenora Diane interviews Kandis Foley, an agile certified practitioner and professional scrum master who successfully home schooled 5 children and has gone on to success in the tech industry.

With 40% of parents now interested in homeschooling their children, Kandis describes the key challenges of homeschooling and how to address them using current IT skills for software development teams.

Request a copy of Kandis Foley's free ebook at http://agilehomeeducation.com/  (pdf) or https://dl.bookfunnel.com/sowqfcksfs (epub & Kindle)!

As soon as I heard Kandis talk about what she was doing, we knew it would be a great interview for parents considering homeschooling in the Covid environment.

Kandis talks about her five secrets of homeschooling:

• Coach
• Advisor
• Community
• Team
• Celebrations

And how they help handle the three biggest struggles of homeschooling:

• Relationships
• Power struggles
• Sibling relationships
