EP #13: BOOK: "A Dog Walks Into a Nursing Home: Lessons in the Good Life from an Unlikely Teacher." AUTHOR: SUE HA Mar 30, 2023

Lisa is joined by Sue Halpern who talks about her book A Dog Walks Into a Nursing Home: Lessons in the Good Life from an Unlikely Teacher.
In chapters on restraint, prudence, faith, fortitude, hope, love, and charity, the author makes connections with the virtues as she watches Pransky deliver light and positive vibes — small miracles — to many lonely and isolated residents. She marvels at her dog's resiliency and the ways she brings joy, calm, and confidence to residents and staff. Pransky proves herself to be a wonderful spiritual teacher for both Halpern and the older people she showers with love and attention.
A Dog Walks Into a Nursing Home: Lessons in the Good Life from an Unlikely Teacher
In late adolescence, Pransky was bored: she needed a job. and so Sue Halpern decided to give herself and her underoccupied Labradoodle a new leash—er, lease—on life by getting the two of them certified as a therapy-dog team. Pransky proved to be not only a terrific therapist, smart and instinctively compassionate, but an unerring moral compass as well. In the unlikely-sounding arena of a public nursing home, she led her teammate into a series of encounters with the residents that revealed depths of warmth, humor, and insight Halpern hadn’t expected. Little by little, their adventures expanded and illuminated Halpern’s sense of what goodness is and does—how acts of kindness transform the giver as well as the given-to.
Funny, moving, and profound, A Dog Walks into a Nursing Home is the story of how one virtuous—that is to say, faithful, charitable, loving, and sometimes prudent—mutt showed great hope, fortitude, and restraint (the occasional begged or stolen treat notwithstanding) as she taught a well-meaning woman the essence and pleasures of the good life.

EP #1178: Demystifying the Self-Care Aspect of Psychedelics: A Beginner's Look at Their Therapeutic Use Mar 28, 2023

Lisa is joined by Matt Zemon, the author of Psychedelics for Everyone: A Beginner’s Guide to These Powerful Medicines for Anxiety, Depression, Addiction, PTSD, and Expanding Consciousness.
Since 2019, Matt has evolved from someone who had never taken any drugs to doing a deep dive into the study of human consciousness with the help of psilocybin, ayahuasca, ketamine, LSD, MDMA, DMT, 5-MeO-DMT, and more. He is now CEO and Co-Founder of HAPPŸŸ, a mental wellness company, specializing in psychedelic-assisted oral ketamine therapy along with digital therapeutics that promote transforming outcomes. Previously, Matt was the co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of Psychable, an online community connecting people interested in the healing power of psychedelics with a network of practitioners and psychedelic-based treatments, and also the co-founder of Take2Minutes, a nonprofit dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and wellbeing. He lives in Chapel Hill, NC.
For more information: https://www.MattZemon.com
After more than five decades of prohibition, the attitudes and laws around psychedelics are starting to shift as more people are beginning to see the benefits that they offer. In addition, recent studies show that there is new hope in the treatment of depression and anxiety that is more effective than antidepressants. Scientists are finding increasing evidence for the benefits of mind-altering drugs such as ketamine, MDMA, and psilocybin mushrooms. In fact, brain-imaging studies have found that these psychedelic drugs help increase connectivity in the brain.
“This is not just hippy-talk,” Matt Zemon, MSc, says. “We are seeing that major universities, government scientists, and big pharma are studying psychedelic drugs for mental health – with almost 100 clinical studies happening right now and more than 300 university psychedelic programs in place."
After years of suffering from depression, Matt Zemon, MSc, experienced a guided psilocybin (magic mushroom) journey, and it completely changed his worldview. So transformational, he enrolled in a Master’s of Science in Psychology and Neuroscience of Mental Health from King’s College, London (which boasts cutting edge psychedelic research) and graduated with honors. He is now CEO and Co-Founder of HAPPŸY, a mental wellness company, specializing in psychedelic-assisted oral ketamine therapy along with digital therapeutics that promote transforming outcomes.

Lisa is joined by Mark Raymond, Jr. who talks about the Spilt Second Foundation and Split Second Fitness which is dedicated to people living with paralysis, stroke, or amputation.
Mark shares his personal experience with paralysis and all of the wonderful work that the Split Second Foundation and Split Second Fitness do.
Mark has a deep-rooted history of serving the community. Building on the legacy of his grandfather, A.P. Tureaud, Mark has played a vital role in advancing various equity-centered efforts across the Greater New Orleans area and beyond. From renaming historic streets and landmarks in New Orleans to creating a more accessible and robust rehabilitative health infrastructure in the Gulf South, Mark’s aptitude for cultivating relationships and driving coordinated, healing-centered change has been vital to the advancement of those most disadvantaged.Mark’s commitment to fighting for justice and equity started as a child but was intensified following a shallow diving accident in 2016, in which he damaged the vertebrae by the base of his neck and lost the ability to walk. For Mark, this life-changing experience illuminated the reality of disparities in access, and there were very few community resources to turn to for help. His new disability and lack of support ultimately pushed him to advocate for millions of others by transforming the split-second that led to his injury into a life filled with awareness, hope, and action.He founded Split Second Foundation to make people aware of a growing population of individuals impacted by disability, advocate for their rights, fund cutting-edge research, and provide clear-cut steps to immediately improve their quality of life.20.6 million Americans live with some form of ambulatory disability, requiring a mobility device. Many of these people face an isolated world with few social interactions, health complications, a higher risk of suicide, a shorter life expectancy, and few places to turn to.Split Second Cares is a reintegration program for those who have suffered from a recent neurological disorder such as a spinal cord injury. The program will help patients transition from inpatient rehabilitation back into society and will include a mental health component, case management, and other services for those living with paralysis or amputation in Louisiana.
Split Second Fitness is the first facility in Louisiana dedicated to people living with paralysis, stroke, or amputation.
