Leeza’s Place
Podcast Download: AIR-2012-11-17.mp3
The evolution of Leeza’s Place started after Leeza Gibbons and her family, over the course of ten years watched her mother succumb to Alzheimer’s disease. After her mother’s death Leeza recognized that when she first needed help she had no place to turn for caregiving guidance and support. With this recognition Leeza started Leeza’s Place and now has two locations in California, two in Florida and one in Joliet Illinois. As Leeza said, caregiving can be a depressing, stressing and an isolating experience coupled with compassion fatigue. At times you want to pull the covers over your head because you are temporarily frozen and do not know what to do. Kathy Miller, Program Outreach Director at Leeza’s Place in Joliet says that Leeza’s Place is a gathering place and community resource center committed to providing free support services, resources and programs for family caregivers. If you are directly or indirectly a caregiver, know that you are never alone and Leeza’s Place is a great place to start.

We are days away from our 2012 election and our country is more divided than ever before. Our presidential candidates have two distinctively different paths and either one can greatly impact in positive and negative ways. Americans are in search of government accountability after the election as Malcolm Out Loud points out and more in our political conversation. Tim Fairbank sees Mitt Romney as a man who fixes problems and uses a metaphor to tell it like it is in our country. As we all wait to see which candidate Americans will choose we are well aware the popular vote has no final say. It is up to the Electoral College which seems a bit off as Brink Thinking Malcolm Out Loud points out. With the truth being told, all Americans want our government to bring forth the greatness in our country and we are counting on a leader who will lead America that way.

Medicare Reform & Medicaid Spending
Podcast Download: AIR-2012-10-27.mp3
Malcolm Out Loud, the “Brink Thinker” sees our Medicare program as the forefront issue in all elections. He says politicians use scare tactics of it being broke to get votes. Brink Thinking, Malcolm believes, is a reinvention of our current Medicare program that could provide greater access to care, and sustain itself with our growing demographics. Medicaid is no better off with food stamps and the SNAP program costing $80 billion per year and growing fast. The Watch Dog on Wall Street, Chris Markowski says that welfare is creating a culture of dependence and entitlement which continues to weaken our nation. Just one of the many weak points as Woodrow Wilcox knows firsthand. Medicare loses $1billion a year in false and erroneous Medicare claims. Maybe it’s time to reinvent both systems and Woodrow’s book, Solving Medicare Problems may a place to start.

Words have the power to heal and destroy in most all situations. Joyce Marter, Founder and Psychotherapist of Urban Balance talks about family fallouts. She says they can be prevented and repaired with work on both sides. Joyce suggests not letting time slip by without reconciling because the longer a fallout goes on the harder it becomes to get back in communication. Our protective ego defenses come in to play as Tracy Clifford, doctor of psychology teaches. Once we identify our defenses we realize they are the blocks from our happiness, confidence, high self esteem and more. We can only control ourselves, not the outcome or the behavior of others. It becomes a personal choice as to our reaction in any given situation and at some point we start to realize that we may be the cause of not having what we want.

By mid century in our lives we have lived long enough to know what we want, don’t want, need, don’t need and what works best for us. This may or may not be true after knowing yourself 50+ years. My guests, Barbara Hannah Grufferman, author of “The Best of Everything After 50” and “Aging as a Spiritual Practice” by NY Times bestselling author, Richmond Lewis come full circle in their own views about aging. The common denominator with both of them is that aging and change are going to happen to all of us.

Forgiveness in 2012
We have been told our feelings come and go, but do they really? When we are not given the opportunity or are afraid to express our feelings we stuff them. Harboring negative feelings such as anger and resentment can be detrimental to our immune systems which can in turn make healing or staying healthy much more difficult. When it comes to cancer we need every army of defense we have. Feelings of I don’t matter also come in to play with our health. Learn from Dr. Michael Barry and Kathryn Tull about the power of forgiveness. The problem behind most all problems is feeling that we do not matter. By practicing forgiveness, expressing our emotions and knowing that we do matter can and does affect our health in more ways than one.
