    Take Care of Yourself and Others--SNAP to it!

    Send us Fan Mail November 2, 2025  Episode 55 Taking Care of Yourself and Others—Snap to It! On today’s episode, Delbert is NOT on the green couch joining in on the conversation with Hess—because of the SNAP benefits being paused, she is has been asked by more schools to help kids with food insecurity—her time this morning, is taking care of those burdens being placed on families and kids.   Hess wanted to still show up because it is important for you know how it affects so many, including the helpers like Delbert.  SNAP is an important federal program since 1964 that helps families with food insecurity.  It is tied to the Farm Bill, and is implemented and distributed through each state.  A family of 4 could get as much as $900 dollars a month to buy food related items, and it allows them to use other money’s to pay their rent and other expenses.  It helps them afford healthy foods like fruits and vegetables.   Hunger causes other social ills to arise, like kids not being able to study and concentrate, businesses losing income, losing housing, crime rising, etc.  Be a helper, do what you can!!

    Home-what is it for you?

    Send us Fan Mail Home—What is it for you? Delbert and Hess join together for their 54th podcast and talk about “home”.  What is it?—it’s not always a structure, it’s a place where your heart is.  A place where you belong, where you connect.  Delbert is taking a book from her childhood today to her niece’s baby shower, We Were Tired of Living in the House, by Liesel Moak Skorpen.  Four small children, a dog, and a cat move into a tree, pond, cave and seashore, but something unusual happens to make them move on to the next place, and finally home.  Home is where we enrich ourselves, recharge, and go out into the world.  Home is  Hess’s horse, Speedy, when she is riding him up the big hill. Home is the gathering around the table. Home is the memories that we take with us when we sell our house. Think about it.  What makes “home” for you?  Listen, like, subscribe and pass it on!   Peace and Love!

    Legacies--big and small

    Send us Fan Mail Legacies—big and small Legacy is how we leave a footprint to the people that come after us.  Thanks for joining us on our Sunday morning chat!  Hess and Delbert had reunited with their Barkley Village this past week.  They enjoyed their time together—especially the conversations around the table. They also experienced important legacies of Kentucky—horses, the land and bourbon!  They toured Keeneland Racecourse, they visited Hess at her farm, they went to the races, and they toured Makers Mark distillery in Loretto Ky.  Legacy can come in many forms-from just the gathering of family or friends around a table, land that gets passed down, or to a new taste of a bourbon.  Legacy can begin at anytime, legacy can change and adapt to the time and the circumstances.  What are personal legacies that touch your life?  Please respond in your comments.  In addition to being a podcast host, Hess is also an LCSW--if you'd like to learn more about her work as a therapist, check it out at www.jessicabollinger.com One of her mission's is for all of our lights to shine--when we see each other and allow ourself to be seen--and we can say to the person in front of us, There You Are! the world will be an amazing place!

    We grow when we do the hard things

    Send us Fan Mail We grow when we do the hard things Hess is back from a trip in France, and Delbert is back on the green couch today to talk to you about life—Join us in this chat.  They had watched a video of Kara Lawson, Duke women’s basketball coach, telling her players that they should never wait for things to get easier.  She tells them it won’t—but doing the hard things, will make it easier for you to do the hard things in the future. Delbert and Hess have talked a lot about this—doing the “next right thing” does NOT mean that it is the next “easiest thing.”  Listen up and tell us what you think about this. Peace and Love, and we believe in you—You CAN do it!

    Self Care

    Send us Fan Mail Self Care— This is a previously recorded podcast. Hess and Delbert talk about how important self care is for our lives.  We have to listen to ourselves.  Delbert hit the “wall” after a very busy time, as she was walking her GrandDogs down the alley.  She went home, cooked herself some “soul food” (for her)—Linguini and clams, and binge watched her feel good series, Ugly Betty.  She did her laundry-returned calls and emails, and went to bed at 5:30.  After the following day, she was recharged. Self Care is so important.  Our body needs it to stay healthy.  Delbert pushed through old childhood guilt messages of “You have to stay busy”.  The previous year she had not listened to her body talking to her when it was tired. Her immune system was low and she had bronchitis twice. Hess shared Teal Swan's analogy—we are all “Cups”—if someone has their cup half full, we cannot ‘tilt’ our cup to fill theirs up.  The cups don’t tilt. The way to fill someone else’s cup is to allow our cup to overflow. Fill your cup!   Peace and Love friends!  Like and share!

    Neurotransmitters--the Brain Bridge to Possibility!

    Send us Fan Mail Neurotransmitters—the Brain Bridge to Positivity Hess and Delbert feel energized when they talk about possibility.  They wanted to follow up and talk about it more after last week’s Podcast.   In their Sunday chat this morning, Hess explains how we can move from trauma to resiliency.  We can use the neuroplasticity of the brain to rewire and get out of the “ditch”. Trauma lives in the limbic area of the brain and stays there if it is not processed in a healthy way.  The trauma lives on in the re-triggering with anything similar to the trauma.  She is trained in a modality called Accelerated Resolution Therapy.  With this modality, the therapist leads the client to replace the trauma—with something different—something more positive.  After a session, the traumatic event is a fact-it happened, but the brain is no longer triggered emotionally.   There are options—there are ways to get the help we need to be able to “spiral back up”.  We can work together, there are solutions.  Delberts family charity, Carole’s Kitchen was able to combine with a bigger organization—Dare to Care that can help the Seneca Food Pantry stay stocked all year round.  Do what you can to move to positivity—towards better outcomes.  It is good for you and for others. Thanks for listening!  We love you!  Like and share!

    Possibility--Your Reframe

    Send us Fan Mail Possibility—You Reframe  #49! Delbert and Hess have a Sunday afternoon chat today.  Hess just got back from boating with a friend on Dale Hollow Lake.  They are “lit up” and excited today to talk about Possibility. After Hess finished college—her Dad asked her what she was going to do, and when she told him she wanted to start a fruit market in Lexington, he responded, “Look into it.”   That was such a positive open response, Hess looked into it, and opened up that summer. Naive is NOT a negative, naive means you have the energy not stifled by negative experiences.  Her truck broke down on the Kentucky River Bridge returning from market and she handled it when it happened.  There is less worry. Delbert did a reframe from tragedy of her sister and nieces death and made Caroles Kitchen, serving youth hunger. Father Greg Boyle in LA with his Homeboy Industries sees the possibilities in the gang members, he gives them a new place to belong, work and learn. The teacher reframes acceptance to her students.  Connection and the “WE” moves us from US and THEM and gives a sense of greater good for the whole.    Listen up—We love you, thanks for joining us. In addition to being a podcast host, Hess is also an LCSW--if you'd like to learn more about her work as a therapist, check it out at www.jessicabollinger.com One of her mission's is for all of our lights to shine--when we see each other and allow ourself to be seen--and we can say to the person in front of us, There You Are! the world will be an amazing place!
