  • Your Life is Your Choice with: Kari Kelley

    At least 1 in 7 children have

    experienced child abuse or neglect in the past year in the United States. This
    is likely an underestimate because many cases are unreported, according to the
    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. For Kari (Fox) Kelley she is
    passionate about advocating for awareness and prevention of child abuse and “my
    life experience is such that I feel compelled to provide support to adult
    survivors.“

    “I am driven to supply intervention resources to
    anyone in need.

  • Uphold Midwifery as the Art Which it is with: Dr. Nathan Riley

    According to the Centers for Disease Control

    and prevention There were 51,642 home births
    in 2021, an increase of 13% from 2020 (45,646). This increase
    followed a 19% rise in the number of home births from 2019 (38,506) to 2020.
    For (non-Hispanic) White women, the percentage of home births increased 10%,
    from about 1.9% of all births in 2020 to almost 2.1% in 2021.   

    Nathan Riley, MD, is a

    board-certified OB-GYN and fellow of ACOG who left the medical industrial
    complex due to his disillusionment with the “standard of care” within the
    conventional maternity care model.

    This was hard because “going

    with the flow” of hospital-based practice was providing him financial security.
    On the other hand, standing in his truth from having sat with over 1000 births
    and connecting with women and their families has provided him a lifestyle more
    in alignment with fatherhood, deepening his connection with his wife, and
    caring for people in the way that he had anticipated long before stepping into
    practice.

    Dr. Riley now focuses his

    time on upholding the traditional practice of midwifery. He supports midwives
    as a collaborative physician for midwives of all varieties in over twenty
    states. He is an advocate for home birth and still attends births for those in
    need. He boasts a c-section rate of <5%, which is one of the best in the
    U.S.

    His mission is to uphold

    midwifery as the art that it is and to honor birth as a sacred process and the
    transition to parenthood as spiritual transformation.

    Dr. Riley empowers women to

    have babies on their own terms, using nature as our guide. He helps fathers
    embrace the opportunity to connect with birth and their partners through
    pregnancy and birth, encouraging them to go deeper versus distancing themselves
    from this stigmatized but magical rite of passage. Dr. Riley is the father of
    two, the second of whom was born at home, and he is proudly married to his high
    school sweetheart. In his spare time, he walks in the woods, makes Dad jokes,
    paints, and drinks coffee with amazing people. 
    He joined me this week to tell me more.

  • Teaching Mindfulness to Help Professionals Unlock Their Full Potential with Nicholas Cassius Clay

    Choosing to have a victorious mindset in life is a personal

    choice we all have to make.  To be aware
    of the version of our lives which define our most vigorous level of success.
    The great thing about life is such a definition is different for all of us.  The direction we choose to take it is ours to
    discover.   Because you see, maximizing
    your fullest level of potential starts by optimizing your thinking.  Free of any stress and developing a sense of psychological
    safety which allows you to thrive.  For
    Mindfulness Coach Nicholas Cassius Clay, he coaches and teaches mindfulness to help
    professionals unlock their full potential. Most clients experience an increase
    in confidence, mental clarity, and self-expression after a few sessions working
    with him.

    Before starting Being One World, Nicholas worked
    in finance. He learned quickly that many people resisted investing because of
    their fear of the market. He realized that to help people through their fear he
    had to understand it clearer. This led Nicholas to begin studying deeply how
    humans work. After studying different schools of thought and completing intense
    courses in personal development Nicholas discovered mindfulness and its immense
    benefit for himself. He also realized that many people struggled to grasp the
    dense information and concepts that went along with it. This led Nicholas to
    begin developing a way of teaching and coaching mindfulness so that people
    could grasp it. His focus was to unpack dense and complex information into
    simple and digestible bites for everyday professionals to apply.

    Outside of coaching Nicholas enjoys playing a
    variety of sports and deep conversations with close friends. 
    Being one world is about the teaching and coaching
    of mindfulness and the power we are capable of when directed towards
    enlightenment (We) rather than shame (I). We expose the limitation of
    negativity and the functions of survival while teaching the power of awareness
    by understanding deeply how the human mind operates. He joined me this
    week to tell me more.

  • Living with Joy on Purpose with: Nathaniel Turner
