scars

Megamix! So viele Themen hatten wir in einer Folge noch nie: Eurovision Song Contest – Das deutsche Finale 2024, RuPaul’s Drag Race Staffel 16 Folgen 4-7, Drag Race UK vs The World Staffel 2 Folgen 1-2, Drag Race España All Stars Folgen 1-2. Und das alles in weniger als einer Stunde, wow.

Wer konnte Jury und Publikum für sich entscheiden und vertritt Deutschland beim ESC in Malmö? Welche Queen konnte in 4 Folgen zweimal gewinnen und wird trotzdem nicht von uns im Finale gesehen? Wem drücken wir international die Daumen und von welcher Queen sind wir plötzlich entgegen aller Erwartungen Fan? Ganz viele Fragen, noch mehr Antworten in The Gayze: Megamix! Zusätzlich wird praktisch LIVE On Air ein Kind geboren, was geht looooos.

Navigating the torrent of emotions that come with being a heart mom to an adult child, Rita Scoggins and I, Anna Jaworski, unfold the layers of our unique journey. Our intimate conversation traverses the evolution of care, from the hands-on nurturing of our children's younger years to the complexities of supporting their maturity and independence. We delve into the potent mix of pride and concern, sharing stories that resonate with anyone who understands the pull of a parent's heartstrings as their children, like Rita's daughter Victoria, and Anna’s daughter Hope, carve out lives shaped by both their challenges and triumphs.

This episode continues with reading from The Heart of a Heart Warrior Volume One: Survival. In this episode, co-editors Megan Tones and Anna Jaworski, take turns reading essays from the book. In Chapter One we read the narratives of heart warriors who've faced body insecurities and the trials of scoliosis with courage. Laura Ryan's story, in particular, shines as a beacon of hope; her transformative experience at the waterslides in Lancaster, learning to embrace her surgery scars, offers a deep dive into the power of empathy and connection. We hear how individuals like Michael McKelvey and Dajah Scrivner channel their pain and resilience into poignant expressions of life with CHD.

Our episode doesn't simply share stories; it offers a lattice of support, exploring how adaptive clothing and familial love can buoy spirits amidst adversity. As we discuss the importance of finding strength in community and the solace of shared experiences, we invite you to join us in a space that celebrates overcoming obstacles and the beauty of human connection. For all who walk the path with heart-defect warriors, this conversation is a testament to the enduring spirit and the ties that bind us all.

In August 2023, a series of wildfires broke out and spread devastation on the Hawaiian island of Maui. Property and lives were lost, including five members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Church members and others in the community rallied to support each other and begin the long process of recovering from the disaster.  

Church News reporter Mary Richards traveled to the island shortly after the disaster, documenting the post-fire relief efforts and observing the strength of the Hawaiian people as they both sought and gave solace in the wounded community. In this special edition of the Church News podcast, she shares their stories of survival and spiritual fortitude, the Church’s Humanitarian response and the faith that can be found in the beauty of the ashes.

The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Host Sarah Jane Weaver, reporter and editor for The Church News for a quarter-century, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and most important people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

In John 6 Jesus told a crowd of people, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again." Something drew all those people to Jesus. The same thing that draws us to Jesus, or church, or God today. Most of us can't place our finger quite on it or don't even realize the feeling is there in the first place. What is that feeling? We are hungry. Hungry for what only Jesus can offer. Hungry and searching for what only He can provide. Listen as Pastor Tim shares a series entitled, Hungry, where he dives into how we can make sure we are getting the most out of what only Jesus can offer us.

In this Episode, Christina Helena and I talk about resilience, trusting your intuition, the human experience, and how the veil of truth is lifted when forced to confront our own mortality.  We laugh and we go deep.  She is redefining and modernizing the stigma behind trauma and pain with one simple thought: Your scar is the sexiest thing about you.  She is truly an inspirational force.  

At nineteen years old, Christina became one of the youngest pancreatic cancer survivors. She was told she had 6 months to live. Four months later, she graduated with her bachelor’s degree in Communication Arts, and then went on to train at The London Academy of Music & Drama where she earned a Master of Fine Arts in Classical Performance. She also studied philosophy and theology earning a Master of Science in Consciousness Studies. 

With a thirteen-inch scar across her abdomen, Christina knows the physical and emotional toll that our scars have on our self-worth and ability to love ourselves. 

Her talk, “My SCAR is Sexy” was featured on Goalcast receiving over 10 million views.
