  • Driver Safety - Does it Matter?

    The Mavericks sit down with Dr. Teri Cassidy of Fitness to Drive which specializes in services for driver safety.

    Dr. Terri Cassidy started Health Promotion Partners in 2018 in response to a need in the community. Many hospital-based programs for driver rehabilitation had closed across the state and families were left to make decisions about driving without comprehensive medical and performance-based assessment. Terri’s vision was to create a program where she could offer excellence in driver rehabilitation and expand the scope of services to work with drivers of all ages. The foundation of this vision is the belief that we can influence health throughout the lifespan by helping clients select and engage in meaningful life activities. Driving can be key to accessing those activities. We have driving clinics in Colorado Springs, Westminster, and Fort Collins.

    • Grief! - Life, loving, death and dying

      Grief is within us all. We never actually get rid of grief. The question is how can we share grief with others because it's in us all. The Mavericks have the pleasure of sitting down with Mr. Eric Rooney, founder of Regeneration Earth.

      Mr. Rooney has been passionate about nature, regeneration, and caring for humans as a farmer, storyteller, visionary, founder, death doula, and speaker. His farm in Lakewood, Colorado Half Moon Farm, provides flowers, food, education, and gatherings for the community and also works with green funeral homes to return human compost and water cremation fertilizer to Earth.
      Grief is a transformational emotion that is brought on by the intense pain and sense of loss felt maybe after a loved one dies but not always. It is a common human experience that enables people to get back into the swing of things, mend relationships with others, and discover hope for a future full of possibilities for development and healing.
      When grief is accepted and shared with others, it has the innate ability to settle unresolved emotional issues, promote healing, and foster personal growth.
