Episode 237: The 100 deadliest days of Summer

In this episode Jackie talks about the 100 deadliest days of Summer on highways and roads throughout the United States where fatalities from car accidents see a sharp increase.  Why does this happen? Does heat have an impact on conflict and violence and how does this relate to recovery?

Episode 236: Issues that Impact Women

In this episode, Jackie talks about the reversal of Roe and our ability as humans to not see what is right in front of us.  This ability impacts the plight of women in many ways and with the reversal of these constitutional rights that recognized a woman's ability to make choices for her body and her life.  With this reversal what will be the impact going forward? We do not know because we have not been to this place before in the history of the United States where rights that have been given are revoked. 

Can we understand the plight of women from how they have been viewed through the patriarchal lens? Perhaps? Can we learn why progress on issues that impact women has been slow or nonexistent? That is the hope with this episode.

Episode 235: Shared Moments

In this episode, Jackie talks about the vulnerable moments that we share.  Where we show up for people, celebrate with people, grieve with people and let others know they are not alone.  

Episode 234: Public Veridicts & History

This episode follows the verdict rendered in the Depp v Heard defamation lawsuit.  While the outcome of this case has been decided by a jury, there is much for us to learn as we look at how public verdicts are rendered and the fallout that happens when the public gets it wrong.  

Episode 0233: A Conversation on Domestic Violence

This episode was prompted by the ongoing discussion playing out currently through a celebrity defamation lawsuit.  Nobody watching or listening is able to provide accurate diagnostic information, which makes it even more important to shape the conversation about how this court proceeding is being viewed and talked about.  When issues regarding domestic violence make it into the spotlight, often the reactions and discussion can impede future victims of domestic violence from coming forward and seeking help and safety.  This episode is an attempt to bring proper attention to the issue of domestic violence and provide a deeper discussion about the underlying issues for those in situations of domestic violence.  There are also current statistics about DV in the show notes for those interested.

Episode 232: Grievance Stories and Gun Violence

In this episode, Jackie talks about the most recent of a long stream of gun violence and innocent lives lost.  This is a disturbing issue in the United States with seemingly no end in sight.  Jackie talks about the importance of understanding our grievance stories and how this understanding can lead to meaningful conversations and prompt a robust national conversation focused on change and progress.  

 

Episode 231: Model for Change & Expected Obstacles

In this episode, Jackie talks about a model of change that breaks down the process of change into four steps.  Which can be helpful when undertaking an overwhelming task like change.  In addition to understanding there are models for change, it can also be helpful to know there are also expected obstacles universal to those who undertake such a task.  Knowing what these obstacles are can help us recognize them when they appear and be intentional when navigating the obstacle. 

 

Episode 230: Trauma-informed vsTrauma work

These are two terms that are often used in therapy and that are often used by the general public.  But what do they actually mean?  What is the difference between being trauma-informed and doing trauma work?  In this episode, we talk about the difference and the importance of being trauma-informed, both as the client and the clinician, before moving into doing trauma work.  

 

Episode 229: Did you Know?

In this episode, Jackie talks about a local controversy that arose in SLC related to a description of a college course taught at a liberal arts college located in SLC.  Situations such as this can escalate emotions and quickly spread fear and disinformation.  Or it can cause us to pause, take a step back, listen, ask questions, and use critical thinking skills to sort through the emotional information that is coming our way.
