Mindfulness, #120

Sunday, December 29, 2013

As we move into a new year, many of us are taking time to count our blessings and look forward to blessings ahead. We are best able to know the bounty of our lives when we are fully present, enjoying the moments as they come to us. Today we speak with experts in the field of mindfulness, who are helping educate health care providers and patients about being more fully present. We hope that our conversations may give you an opportunity to count your blessings from 2013, and consider the importance of mindfulness in the year ahead.

World Wellness, #119

Sunday, December 22, 2013

Last week on the Dr. Lisa Radio Hour, we reflected on the spirit of giving that is so prevalent in our Maine community. This week, we speak to individuals who are contributing to world wellness by giving of themselves, both in Maine and abroad. From purifying hospital water supplies in Haiti, to providing homes in Central America, Dr. Nathan Nickerson and Mark Carter are making a difference one brick, and one patient, at a time. Thank you for joining us.

Maine Communities, #118

Sunday, December 15, 2013

Mainers are a giving group. We at the Dr. Lisa Radio Hour have been fortunate to spend time with a wide variety of giving individuals, from Mark Swann of the Preble Street Resource Center, and Billy Shore & John Woods of Share Our Strength, to Julie Marchese of the Maine Cancer Foundation’s Tri for A Cure. Our affiliation with Maine Magazine, Maine Home + Design and the Kennebunkport Festival has given us a seat at the table with more than 70 charitable organizations. Today we speak with Eleanor Kinney and Meredith Jones, two individuals who understand the importance of providing support to Maine communities. We hope that you are inspired by our conversations during this season of giving.

Deep Blue Sea, #117

Sunday, December 8, 2013

There is much to be learned from the sea. Many of us here in Maine are aware of the obvious resources provided by the ocean. What we may not realize is that schoolchildren and scientists the world over are benefitting from marine research and education being done right here in our great state. Some of this research has a direct impact on human health. We hope you enjoy our conversations with Alan Lishness and Dr. Graham Shimmield about the Deep Blue Sea.

Sunday, December 1, 2013

Is your family ready to hit the slopes? As we head into winter, many of us are preparing to enjoy one of our state’s favorite seasonal activities. Today’s guests are admitted snow-lovers and longtime ski aficionados. Why does skiing, and Maine ski areas such as Sugarloaf, engender such loyalty? Listen in to our conversations with Cooper Friend, and John and Josh Christie find out more. Perhaps you will find yourself planning your own family excursion to the slopes this year. Thank you for joining us.

Love, Spirituality, & Self, #115

Sunday, November 24, 2013

As humans, we gravitate toward certainty and stability. We like to believe that life has an inherent logic. What many of us learn, as we progress through our lives, is that things are far less logical than they seem—or at least far less intellectually logical. When we open ourselves to the logic of the heart, we find stability through a deeper sense of our own spiritual selves. In opening their hearts to love of self and others, our guests today have done just that.

Alzheimer’s, #114

Sunday, November 17, 2013

What does it mean to lose one’s mind? To become someone unrecognizable to our loved ones and peers? Today’s guests, unfortunately, have witnessed this scenario firsthand. They have seen family members transformed by the brain illness Alzheimer’s. As individuals who have relied heavily on their own brains in creating a livelihood for themselves, they offer compelling perspectives on what it means when that is no longer possible.

We hope we are able to give your mind something to ponder as we speak with Tess Gerritsen and Leon Duff. Thank you for joining us.

Making Peace, #113

Sunday, November 10, 2013

The Dalai Lama once said: “The only true guardian of peace lies within: a sense of concern and responsibility for your own future and an altruistic concern for the well-being of others.” The guests on today’s show include individuals who fulfill these criteria and are true guardians of peace: Maine’s former Senator George Mitchell, Meg Baxter, President & CEO, Mitchell Institute and Ethan Pierce, Mitchell Institute Scholar. We hope you enjoy our conversations with them, and are inspired to reflect upon the ways in which you may be a guardian of peace in your own life.

Chartering Education, #112

Sunday, November 3, 2013

This show was inspired by the article written by Susan Conley for the November issue of of Maine Magazine. We know that kids learn differently, and that no matter how kids learn, education is of paramount importance. Maine is working to find ways to educate our kids in new ways, through programs such as charter schools. We hope you enjoy our thought-provoking conversations with Susan, Glenn and John.

Tales of Tragedy & Triumph, #111

Sunday, October 27, 2013

Everyone has their own story. Some keep it close to the vest, while others shout their stories from the rooftops. In our latest show, we speak with several brave individuals willing to share their tales with the world—and to help others find voice, too. These stories, like many of our lifetime narratives, are filled with moments of beauty, the sweet happiness of love, and the terrible fact of tragedy.
