Smells Like Middle-Aged Spirit Podcast Presents: "Off Script" - with Nick Stevenson

She was supposed to be a statistic. But through every step of her journey it became clear that Minnie had a purpose on this earth greater than being a cautionary tale. Seemingly alone, with even her faith being used against her, are she was able to find an extraordinary strength within to overcome domestic violence, sexual assault, and all of the unfortunate repercussions that come with being a victim. But Minnie would not be anyone’s victim. She instead turned her misfortune into opportunity to help others who have been subject to the atrocities that she had been through.

Episode #47 - "Finding Strength Beyond What Is Normal" - feat. Minnie L. Wood

Often it's the ones we love most who disappoint us the most. Everyone falls short of their greatest hopes for themselves we are imperfect, and the country we love is made up of imperfect people. Yet that doesn't mean we should be absolved from accountability. After all we are the nation that is "for the people and by the people". Why is it that we the people are now viewing one another as enemies, rather than fellow patriots with different opinions on how to help America reach Her highest calling? Why are today's debates not based on truth and reason, but rather based the inflamed passions about relatively irrelevant topics and political talking points with little to no merit? How is it that what was once viewed as the greatest country in the world, is possibly more divided now than in times past? The SLMASP crew get together in this episode and offer our opinions on the matter. We hope that more dialog between people with differing opinions will be the result, along with a more unified people as a whole.

Episode #46 - "America: The Greatest Country In The World?"

The year 2020 made many of us, who may have otherwise not given it any thought, more aware of our mental health. As our norms were shattered, many of us were alone, some of us jobless, missing the personal connection of going out with friends and having our large family gatherings. It took its toll and even as things are opening back up, there are residual effects. "How are you?.... I'm fine..." We utter both these with such thoughtless ease. But have you asked anyone how they are REALLY doing? Have you asked yourself how are you doing? In this episode of "Off Script" - with Nick Stevenson he is honored to be joined by his mother Eura Stevenson, and his daughter Maddie Stevenson, as the last 3 generations on this branch of the Stevenson family tree get together and discuss the role mental health has played in each of their lives. The wisdom being passed on fro one generation to another will surely touch you and hopefully remind you that of all the people in your life, its family over everything. W even give the Bearded Producer a mental health check via the telephone. Our hope is that everyone finds something useful, something meaningful, and something helpful from this episode. We appreciate greatly all our listeners! Even when we are late, we are always here for you! Find out more at http://smellslikemiddleagedspiritpodcast.com This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

Episode #41 - "W.O.S. : 'The Totally Not About Politics Edition'" - feat. Stephen Terry

What is Autism? Where does it come from? What are the signs of autism? These are 3 pretty basic questions to have answered in order to spread autism awareness. But you may be surprised to find out that many people can't answer those questions, but will be quick to share the latest hashtag, or internet challenge. How do we know? Nick Stevenson was among those people. After recognizing that it's not cool to spread fake awareness, we decided to really find out what autism is, from the source that would know best. Our guest Larkin Banister is an #AutismMom of Tallen aka "T" and she sits down with us to talk about the range of emotions from the time of diagnosis, dealing with the everyday challenges, and also realizing that this diagnosis is not a death sentence. It is possible to embrace your child for who they are and live a happy life with them, well on into their adulthood. Larkin won't tell you it's easy, but she will let you know that it is possible. Our hope is that we will spread some true awareness and spread the message of kindness and empathy for autism parents, children, and adults.

Episode #40 - "Autism Awareness: When It's No Longer Trending" - feat. Larkin Banister

It’s the talk that every parent dreads! Let’s face it, talking to your kids about sex is scary! But it’s a talk that needs to happen, and according to some experts it might need to happen sooner than you may think! So let’s talk about it! We discuss how we got the talk from our parents, how we gave or plan to give the talk to our kids, and we talk about some suggestions from some experts on the subject. What better to do after all that than have a #DadJokes contest!
