The Unexpected Magic of Caring for Others
"Caring for another person is like the hero's journey, a transformative experience. Except unlike in the common formula, one does not need to leave the home" (Elissa Strauss, "When You Care").
Imagine balancing a thriving journalism career while navigating the uncharted waters of motherhood. That’s precisely what Elissa Strauss, our guest for this episode, has done. Elissa is the author of "When You Care: The Unexpected Magic of Caring for Others." In her new book, Elissa shares her compelling transition from reporting on the structural inadequacies caregivers face to uncovering the deep-rooted cultural issues that undervalue care. She unveils the profound transformation she experienced upon becoming a mother and the intense challenge of reconciling her professional identity with her new, crucial role as a caregiver.
Elissa delves into maternal instincts and the essential role of caregiving in shaping both individuals and society. By challenging societal expectations and the stigma that caregiving is somehow less intellectually fulfilling, Elissa brings a fresh perspective on how deeply estranged maternal relationships can impact society at large.
This episode examines the urgent need for policy changes and societal shifts to honor and support caregivers. Tune in to celebrate the sacred role of care and discover the immense value and dignity inherent in these everyday acts.

"Feeling like we matter is one of the most defining features of our humanity. When that feeling is present, we thrive. When it is absent, we feel ignored and helpless. Threats to mattering diminish dignity and can cause destruction, as we have witnessed in school shootings over the last few decades. Mattering consists of feeling valued and adding value, to ourselves and others. These two experi...

"What we see and where we focus profoundly affects our lives. You've likely heard the adage that we become what we behold, and I believe there is much truth to that statement. When seasons of illness, diminishment, heartache, and disappointment loom large, it is a fight to hold on to hope. Why? Because what we see and what we focus on have a way of informing our thoughts, feelings, and eventual...

    Thank you so much for hosting my absolute favorite you tuber and author, Jennifer Scott! She is such a gift to me and has changed and improved my life in ways that amaze me! I have lost 32 pounds (so far) because of her, I dress beautifully every day, I sleep in lovely night wear, I have improved my grooming, my habits, my parenting, and have enjoyed all of her tutorials! She has introduced me to so many artists within so many genres! I am a better woman, mother and homemaker because of all she has taught me. She is such a beautiful and kind woman and I love her adorable sense of humor! Please bring her back! We all need her!! :)

    The thing that you ladies are talking about is what the bible calls iniquity. Iniquity, as it's defined by context in the bible, as any lye that we hold to be true. The place that lye is kept is, as David describes, is the inner parts and secrets parts. "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all."

    Hit the nail right on the head! Spot on! Awakening something in ME something I’ve been struggling with for years! Look...this Dr is highly educated in all this.....yet....like me.....these emotions, thoughts, feelings have been buried for soooo long! I LOVE the way this “aspect” of my life is being brought to light through the both of you! Praise be to God for the both of you.
