Coming Soon: Bearing Scars

from Bearing Scars · host Michael Ertel

Rebounding with Grit, Grace and GrowthBearing Scars hosts raw discussions with titans in their fields. But we won’t just be talking about the achievements with which you’re familiar.There’s already a ton of fluffy podcasts about success, but Bearing Scars will peel back the visage and discover the real truth of those who admit to monumental missteps in life, and worked to rebuild themselves in the aftermath.We’ll talk with those who have gone from prison to prominence, from debilitating addiction to public adoration, from youthful indiscretion to business dominance and from career-ending scandal to a redefining their life’s work.Our tagline here is rebounding with Grit, Grace and Growth. We’ll learn from these leaders how they have stayed focused, continued to drive forward; maintained an inward and outward mental balance, and grown so their scars won’t define their legacy.And you’ll hopefully learn from their resilience routines, which have helped them through the tough times.The name of this series is Bearing Scars. Because those marks will never disappear, especially in this hyper-toxic, everything online forever atmosphere, but we can work to turn those scars into reminder to keep fighting for our own American Dream, and inspiring others to do the same. Let's learn.TuVNxx6SgvtJdHTwAWAi

The Shifting Perspectives Podcast The Down's Syndrome Association Launched in Down’s Syndrome Awareness Week 2019, the Shifting Perspectives Podcast is brought to you by the Down’s Syndrome Association.In our podcast, we'll tell the stories of people who have Down's syndrome as well as of their families and carers, raising a smile, providing insights and challenging commonly held attitudes and prejudices.We are thrilled to be working with Richard Bailey, curator and mastermind behind the Shifting Perspectives photography project, as our host.Where Shifting Perspectives beganWhen his daughter, Billie-Jo, was born at the start of the noughties he knew very little about Down's syndrome and when he looked for information in books, he found very factual information and very factual images.He explains in the introduction of the Shifting Perspectives book (published in 2012): "The images we found in those old textbooks had little bearing on our experience…We found no images that showed daily life, no images of families having fun with their children, o Lay Down Your Arms: The Autobiography of Martha von Tilling by Bertha von Suttner Loyal Books Die Waffen Nieder, in English: Lay Down Your Arms is a fictional biography, which describes four wars from the perspective of a soldier's wife. The response to the book was worldwide; it became popular, and it can be described as the beginning of the peace movements of our times. Von Suttner received the Nobel Peace Prize - she was a candidate since the first award-ceremony . She foresaw and watched the rise of the First World War, was warning and campaigning against it; but died before the beginning of WW1. Her friend for years, Nobel Peace Prize laureate Alfred Fried, passed on her last words - they were the title of this book and a plea: „Die Waffen nieder! Sag’s vielen... vielen“ “Lay down the arms! Tell it to many... many” - Summary by schrm"Apart from its value as a work of fiction—great as that is—the book has a transcendent interest for the Society with which I am connected from its bearing on the question of war in general and of the present state of Europe in particular. We Famous Assassinations Of History by Francis Johnson Loyal Books It has been the object of the writer to make each of these “famous assassinations” the central scene of a picture in which the political, religious, or national features of the epoch in which the assassination occurred are portrayed with historical fidelity and strict impartiality…. Only those assassinations have been included which either had an important and political bearing on the world, or on the nation immediately affected, or which left a profound, and, it would seem, indelible impression on the imagination of contemporaries and posterity. - Summary by Book Preface
