The Well Done Life

This week I'm very excited to welcome Adrienne Glusman to the podcast. Adrienne
 is a professional speaker, ambassador and advocate on the topic of Millennial Caregiving, sharing her story and journey as an only-child caregiver to her mom, Hetty, who passed away in 2020 after living with Multiple System Atrophy since 2010.  Adrienne's story as Hetty's caregiver was featured in a Wall Street Journal article, 'The Call To Care for Aging Parents Comes Sooner Now'.  Her story has also been featured in Health magazine, Toronto Sun and Vox.com to name a few. 

In addition to keynoting national conferences for Leading Age, National Church Residences and the Multiple System Atrophy Coalition, Adrienne has also been involved with various caregiving campaigns including serving as a caregiver ambassador for EMD Serono's Embracing Carers, Leading Age's 'Carry the Convo' and The Scan Foundation's 'Do You Give a Care'.   You can follow her on Instagram and Facebook @younglifeinterrupted, or subscribe to her podcast, Young Life Interrupted, where she is lending a voice to her journey so other young caregivers can feel seen, heard and supported.

This week let's talk about being "fine".  It's time to normalize telling people when we're not ok. I'm not ok all of the time either. But, we're going to begin feeling" fine" together.

Definition of Xenophobia: Xenophobia is an extreme, intense fear and dislike of customs, cultures, and people considered strange, unusual, or unknown. The term itself comes from Greek, where “phobos” means fear and “xenos” can mean stranger, foreigner, or outsider. Yet in Greek, xenos carries some ambiguity. It can also mean guest or wanderer.

Things to remember when dealing with your trauma:

1. Can you deal with this on your own? Or do you need to seek out help? 
2. You have to acknowledge it, give it the words that are necessary, and then realize that you can't change what happened. 
3. You have to decide to forgive yourself for not being able to change what happened. If you can't do this, you should consider going into counseling. It's ok to admit that you can't carry this alone. It's ok to seek out help!! 
4. How are you going to hold yourself accountable to make sure that you don't take the trauma back into yourself?  Healing is a 365 day commitment!!

Meagan Good Post Quote: " I will never have this version of me again. Let me slow down and be with her".

Will Smith GQ Article: https://www.gq.com/story/will-smith-november-cover-profile

Things to Remember As You Sit With Yourself: 

1. Make sure you're cultivating the content and people who have access to you. 
2. Don't be afraid to confront the sides of yourself that need work.
3. Don't overcomplicate sitting with yourself. 
4. Just take a step toward sitting with yourself.

This week is kind of a part 2 to last week's episode, "Preparation".  This week we're talking about the power of surrendering. Surrendering has been key for me in my seasons of preparation. So, this week I want to share some of the things that I did to make sure I "surrendered" to my purpose and journey. We're all in a season of preparation to achieve our goals, and I'm hoping these tips will help you achieve what is ordained for you.

This week we're talking about the need to reset and reflect. The world is noisy, and I want to make sure we're taking the time and actions to help us all live intentionally. Let's inspire each other!!

Books Recommendations:

1. The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz: https://www.miguelruiz.com/the-four-agreements 
2. Warrior of the Light by Paulo Coelho: https://www.amazon.com/Warrior-Light-Manual-Paulo-Coelho/dp/0060527986

Psalm 37: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2037&version=NIV 

Things to Remember to help preserve your peace and live intentionally:
1) Be mindful of who and what you give your attention to. Your words and thoughts are powerful. Give them out with clear thought and intention.
2) Along that line, not everything requires a response. Stillness and Silence are a valuable thing.
3) Find resources that can be there to encourage or focus you on the journey.
4) Take time during resets and reflections to heal your insecurities. Don't project your fears onto other people. There is room for everyone. We should look at celebrating others vs. tearing people down.

This week we're welcoming Dr. Shalonna Battle to the podcast  Dr.  Battle is a women’s health nurse practitioner with over 13 years of clinical and nursing education experience. She has a bachelor’s degree in biology from Florida Memorial University, a bachelor’s of science degree in nursing from the University of Miami. a masters of science degree in nursing from Frontier University, and finally a doctoral of nursing practice degree from Florida Atlantic University. Although school has played a major role in her success as a clinician, it is the hands-on clinical experience that has really groomed her into the healthcare provider she is today. 

She is experienced in caring for women across the lifespan. She manages all women’s health concerns which include, but not limited to common gynecological concerns and disorders, family planning and reproductive care, caring for women who are survivors of abuse and sexual assault, recurrent and chronic vaginal infections, perinatal care, and postmenopausal concerns.

Dr. Battle’s philosophy about healthcare is simple! 

“When it comes to a woman’s body, she is the expert! “

A woman  has more knowledge than anyone else about the way her body feels, operates, and responds to environmental stimuli. Therefore, healthcare providers are only here to guide, while she leads the way to  her own wellness and happiness!

We're talking about all the things related to women's health. Let's get into it.
