Summary
Today’s problem is something we all face eventually - the transition from teenage life to adulthood. It’s a big deal for everyone, but for young people on the autism spectrum that transition can be really tough.Did you know that young adults with autism have lower employment rates than people with other disabilities? A report published by the A.J. Drexel Autism Institute tells us that for two-thirds of young people with autism, that transition from high school to adulthood was pretty much not happening, with no real plan or support for developing a career or plan for higher education within two years of graduating high school. One solution may be in entrepreneurship, and my guest is paving the way. My guest today is Betty Proctor.Betty Proctor was working as a social worker at the FSU Autism Institute when the clock started ticking. Her daughter was about to graduate from high school, and she knew that she needed to spend more time with her. She also saw a need for her daughter, who is on the Autism spectrum, to develop her passions and strengths into a career for her future. So, she took a leap of faith and left her job to partner with her on making and selling jewelry at local markets.That leap landed in Railroad Square, where they opened Obsessions Gift Shop, and then to a non-profit organization called Motivating People Through Arts and Crafts (MPAC)MPAC serves as a resource for the community to provide social, life, employment, and entrepreneurial skills while educating the public on awareness of Autism Spectrum Disorder and Communications Disorders. Today we’re going to explore how MPAC works and most importantly, how we can help. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Heather Solves Everything. -Devil's Advocate
Release Date: 08/09/2021
Description: Today on the program we are diving into a subject that we’re often told not to talk about. It can be a difficult subject to discuss, even with friends, for fear of being misunderstood, judged or pigeon-holed, or not being as informed or educated as others. Sometimes this topic is something people don’t even want others to know about them, and in other cases it is the first thing they want people to know. We’re talking about RELIGION. This episode is called DEVIL’S ADVOCATE and I am looking forward to discussing some of the most compelling questions about religion today with Rev. Sheldon Steen, pastor at Christ Presbyterian Church and doctoral candidate in Religion of Western Antiquity at Florida State University. Rev. Steen has been working in ministry for fifteen years, earning a Master of Divinity and Master of Theology from Columbia Theological Seminary. He began his professional work in youth ministry in Florida and Georgia, and then as the Pastor of Jasper First Presbyterian Church in Jasper, Florida. After serving as a Parish Associate at Faith Presbyterian Church in Tallahassee, Sheldon directed the campus ministry at UKirk Tallahassee, serving Florida State University and Florida A&M University. He joined Christ Presbyterian Church in June, 2020, leading the northeast Tallahassee congregation through the COVID-19 pandemic and at a time when almost every element of our lives, including our spirituality, is politicized.

Heather Solves Everything - Treat Yo'Self!
Release Date: 10/11/2021
Description: This is a problem solving show, and each week my guests and I talk about the everyday problems of life, how they are solving them, and how you can tap into your unique strengths to solve your problems.Problems like how the heck we are supposed to do all of the things. Do I even need to tell you that people these days are 100% completely tired, worn out, overworked, overwhelmed, and generally zonked?It’s not just you. It’s everyone! In my work as a health coach I hear it every day - we all know that we SHOULD take better care of ourselves, but like, when? WHEN is a good question, too. When is the last time you took a day off. When did you last press pause, opt out, unplug, and go AWOL on the daily grind?Today’s show is going to be your gateway to self care. We’re going to talk about why it’s important - you might be surprised - how to tell what you really need, how to actually make it happen, and most importantly, how to not feel guilty for it.My guest is Dr. Kenya Rich, a licensed psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services at Florida State University, where she provides individual and group psychotherapy and is involved with training of doctoral students. She earned her bachelors degree in psychology from Wayne State University and graduated with a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Miami (Go Canes!). She has 15 years of experience working with college students and adults on topics such as depression, anxiety, and trauma. In her free time, Kenya enjoys spending time with her husband, two teenage children, and two beloved cats. Her self care is running, dancing salsa, and is an avid barre enthusiast.Let’s get into it!
