Show Notes   My very special guest today: Wendy Darling is the founder of the Miraculous Living Institute, a personal and professional growth organization. In our conversation today Wendy and I plan to talk about how to overcome the restrictive notions of thinking that “it’s too late for me create the life I want.” Surprisingly this limiting idea not only applies to those who are growing old. I know people in their 30’s and 40’s that feel the same way. And Wendy is here to help. Wendy writes: “I know what it’s like to keep trying to “make” life work. I know what it’s like to feel empty and lonely. I know what it’s like to run out of steam, wondering if my dreams were ever going to come true. I cannot even imagine how much ice cream, dark chocolate, and boxes of Kleenex I’ve used throughout the years.” Wendy knows what it’s like to lose confidence in yourself and she offers very practical advice on how to overcome. With that let’s enjoy our time together with Wendy Darling.   Get Wendy’s book Create Your Miraculous Life: It’s Never Too Late For more on Wendy you can visit www.wendydarling.com Or contact Wendy at [email protected]   For more on Charlie go to The Next Chapter with Charlie

Economic and social disruption are two major causes brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. It caused many changes globally that forced people to adjust to the new normal. Despite the circumstances, people find ways to fight the disruptions and perform the majority of the daily activities virtually like education, meetings, and checkups to prevent continuous transmission of the virus.Aside from the new normal, the demand on healthcare workers continues to rise due to a number of things: frontliners retiring early because of extreme exhaustion both psychologically and physically, and even worse, some died while on duty. Different things have changed and some medical circumstances have worsened e as a result of the virus impacting the health of many people.

Show Notes  Today my guest, Faith Elicia, and I talk largely about the secret life of those caught in an addictive trap, especially the trap of food and eating disorders. Although Faith’s book, Do You See What I See, is focused on eating disorders, Faith is keen to point out that eating disorder in but another in the long line of addictions facing millions of people in the USA today. Faith talks about how addictions are often inherited or learned from parents and the way we were raised. In grossly dysfunctional families, many children have a very difficult time finding value in the worth as a person. Faith puts it this way: I need you to believe in me because I can’t believe in myself. Gaining self-confidence and self-worth are essential for breaking the addictive cycle. Join me in this thoughtful and engaging chat with Faith Elicia and learn incredibly helpful insights about living a fulfilled life.   Get Faith book from Amazon at Do You See What I See.

Dementia is recorded as the seventh leading cause of death and one of the major causes of disability and dependency among older adults globally. Just like heart disease and cancer, dementia is an umbrella term for a set of syndromes that leads to deterioration in cognitive function. It is caused by the damage of brain cells that results in the inability to communicate, think, feel, or behave appropriately. Alzheimer's disease is the most common type of dementia that worsens over time. It kills the brain cells and leads to memory loss and cognitive decline. This disease is incurable and affects mainly people ages 65 years and older. Memories are beautiful and priceless. It strengthens our sense of self-identity and purpose, as well as our bonds with others. When these memories slowly fade, everything will change and that's why we need to have a support system to help guide us in living with someone who has this condition. Dr. Dung Trinh is joined by Jim McAleer to share his organization, “Alzheimer’s Orange County”, which provides hands-on care and support for patients with Alzheimer’s.A person with dementia is most likely to be socially isolated, less likely to exercise, forget medications, and less connected to society. And having a good support system can benefit the psychological aspect of that person suffering from this neuro-degenerative health condition. Don’t miss Episode 3 of Health Talks with Dr. Trinh to know what dementia is all about. Listen now!Memorable Quotes:Patients with Alzheimer's are still with us. It’s just the memories that are lost. - Jim McAleerSeniors with dementia are the most vulnerable in society. - Dr. Dung TrinhOther Resources Mentioned:Our GangAlzheimer’s Orange County Important Points:Learn a new game because your brain is very adaptable and you can keep your brain active. A person with dementia is most likely to be socially isolated, less likely to exercise, forget medications, and less connected to society.“Dementia” is an overlying term for a neurologically impairing condition that impacts the ability to function.There are a couple of different conditions of dementia: Parkinsonian dementia, frontotemporal dementia, Lewy body dementia, alcohol-related dementia, and others.About the Guests:Jim McAleer is the president and CEO of Alzheimer’s Orange County.  AlzOC runs two adult day centers, Acacia Adult Day Center and South County Adult Day Center.
