Courage 2 Overcome

Tonight's program is a summary of the shows that I have done for three years and talk about how the guests can find resources about the various topics that require caregiving. With 67% expected to die before the one they care for, it will help those caring for people from Autism to Alzheimer's to know how to better care for themselves and prevent burnout.

My guests will be Ben Gioia (who supports women making changes in the world) and James Woeber (who cares for his mom but still holds a job and lots of volunteer work for the Evolutionary Business Council). These two are amazing men who are so supportive of helping others be the best they can be and make the world a better place.

Tonight's show will be about suicides and bullying in schools and my expert from Canada will be Tracey Maxfield. She will be able to answer some of those questions we all need to know!

I am so excited that I am having a young high school student that has autism on my program. Last Friday night at the state tournaments at the last few minutes of the ballgame, Christian Patterson was put in. At first, some did not know that he had any special issues. When he "walked" the ball, the ref gave the ball to the other side. But as time went on, Christian was given the ball a couple of times and he missed the basket. The crowd was obviously sad for him as there was an "awwhh" going through the stands. Then the opposing team threw him the ball and he made a three-point score! The crowd cheered and so di both teams. They were so supportive of him! Exciting to have him on as his story went viral last weekend.

My guest tonight is Mark Stowers who has owned a company for 14 years in support of families who need assistance for caregiving. He will share some of the resources and issues that are associated with getting help.

Tonight I will have a program to help parents care for special needs kids. We will talk about some issues that face parents as the kids grow and need different kinds of support.

I am excited that tonight's guest is Amy Kirkpatrick Young, who at an early age was diagnosed with MS. She had a great doctor who recognized her symptoms and immediately got her to a specialist. Her life is full of challenges, but she is aware of some triggers that make it harder. She is still teaching school and tries to control the disrupters as well as she can.
