Well Wisconsin Radio Renee Fox

It is that wonderful time of year in Wisconsin! Time to get outside and enjoy all the beauty and recreation our state offers during the summer. As we do so, it is also a good idea to review the steps we can take to prevent tick bites and educate ourselves about tick-borne illnesses.  Our guest, Dr. Gregory DeMuri, is a pediatric infectious disease doctor with UW Health Kids and a professor in the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health. Dr. DeMuri will share with us what we can do to protect ourselves and our families as we venture outdoors and delight in the wonders of Wisconsin.

To forgive or not to forgive…are you asking yourself this question and wondering if it is time to start the process of forgiving another or yourself? Our podcast guest for this episode is Dr. Robert Enright, a founding board member of the International Forgiveness Institute, who is often described as the “father of forgiveness research” because of his commitment over the past four decades to researching and implementing forgiveness programs. We discuss the connection between forgiveness and well-being, the steps you can take to begin your forgiveness journey, and resources to help you get started. We also talk about the role of forgiveness in resolving our conflicts with others. We hope you’ll tune in.
