Note: Be aware that this episode addresses mistreatment of children and other challenging topics. It may not be appropriate for younger audiences. Childhood experiences impact us even as adults. For some, those experiences are motivational. For others, they can be devastating. Our guest this week survived a difficult childhood but found her way to light and hope. Even in the midst of her pain, her true self never stopped hungering for light. In this episode of the Infuse Compassion podcast, Tammy Rene shares how a single act of generosity—her grandfather paying for college—opened the door to freedom from her childhood challenges and led her to others who helped her find light. Through writing, music, and faith in a loving higher power, she began “recycling her garbage”—transforming the worst parts of her story into hope for others. Tammy now offers lifelines of hope both to others who experienced similar difficulties and to those who love them, inviting all of us to see people clearly and believe in their worth. In this episode you’ll learn: - How Tammy transformed her challenges into a source of light and hope - Practical ways survivors can begin healing and reconnecting with their true selves - How to support someone through difficulties without fixing, comparing, or questioning their reality - Why your presence, vulnerability, and belief in others can be a life-changing gift More about Tammy: https://www.youtube.com/@TammyRene915 https://www.buildonthelight.com [email protected] LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tammy-rene-buildonthelight/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Destination: Europe (Forced Migration Review 51) Oxford University Europe is experiencing the mass movements of displaced people in a way that it has largely been immune from for decades. The manifestations of the 'migration crisis' are as disparate as the building of fences to stop people crossing normally peaceful borders, the deaths of people transported by smugglers in unseaworthy boats, EU political leaders bickering over a Common European Asylum System and the numbers they will or will not allow into their respective countries, and contentious responses to the disaster that continues to unfold in Syria. Alongside this we also see an upsurge of grass-roots compassion, solidarity and assistance to those whose human suffering on a grand scale in and around Europe constitutes the reality behind the rhetoric. FMR 51 includes 43 articles on 'Destination: Europe', plus five 'general' articles.
