Nicole Moehring is the Founder of Voices of Change 2018 (VOC), a nonprofit whose mission is to reduce the risk of sexual abuse for children with disabilities. Nicole has a daughter and an autistic son who are victims of sexual abuse and assault. In her pursuit of justice, she was shocked to see the difference in how the justice system believed her daughter and was treated so well, yet her son was not. She felt like her son didn’t matter. Her experience inspired her to create Voices of Change to educate families and the public to prevent others from experiencing her unimaginable nightmare. Today, she serves on the Ohio Attorney General Committee for Crime Victims with Disabilities. She works with legislators to change and pass laws to enforce more robust policies and create best practices for reporting child abuse and processing cases. And just last year, she received the annual ‘Crucial Point Award’ presented to people and organizations that delve beyond the surface of sex crimes to focus on overlooked niches of survivorship. Nicole is a first-time author of - “Finding Myself – Overcoming abuse, heartbreak, and loss, then finding true love.” - And she is currently writing her second book, “Finding My Voice.” Nicole resides in Hinckley, OH, with her husband, Chris, and her two children.

What is Soul Hygiene? Soul Hygiene refers to the ongoing practice of nurturing, and maintaining a healthy, balanced state of mind, body, and spirit. On this episode, TJ boldy shares her story about what she has dealt with in her emotional and spiritual life that took her from the bottom where trauma, suicide, and depression overwhelmed her to becoming a healed woman by the power of Jesus Christ. TJ describes Soul Hygiene as a progress that involves engaging in activities and practices that promote self-care, self-reflection, and spiritual growth, such as meditation, mindfulness, creative expression, and cultivating positive relationships. By taking care of one soul, we're become able to accept responsibility and learn to be accountable for our actions. At the same time, we'll strengthen our resilience, enhance our well-being, and experience a greater sense of inner peace and joy, using all the tools within us, to not just survive life, but to Live it. The bottom line is we must learn and grow every day, and the only way we can do this is to face our trauma and make the choice to NOT be a Victim or remain one. It is never too late!

In this episode Brittany asks Ed heartfelt questions like, “What does it feel like if you had cerebral palsy, Ed?” She doesn't ask him what “would” it feel like? .... Rather she asks Ed “What DOES it feel like if you had cerebral palsy?” How could she ask that question? Listen to this episode and find out. Brittany McCormick, a South African motivational and keynote speaker, defied the odds from the very beginning.

Living the Highs and Lows of Bipolar Disorder with Ed Squire 42:41

36 weeks ago42:41

42:41

When I was at my doctor's office for a regular appointment, my doctor noticed I was having a bipolar manic episode and called an ambulance to pick me up and take me to emergency at the hospital. In this episode I talk about how that happened and why it motivated me to talk openly about this mental health disorder. Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, ranging from manic or hypomanic episodes to depressive episodes. These shifts can significantly impact a person’s energy levels, ability to think clearly, and day-to-day functioning. Bipolar disorder is more common than many people realize, affecting roughly 2.8% of adults in the U.S. each year. Importantly, it’s not just moodiness or “having a bad day.” It’s a complex condition with biological, genetic, and environmental influences.
