    #284 Revisiting Blink: A Conversation with WAGS of SCI

    Season 4 Episode 14 - Dear Louise: A Conversation with WAGS of SCI  Elena Pauly and Brooke Pagé, both caregivers to partners with recent Spinal Cord Injuries, felt the deep isolation that comes with their role. Their connection on Instagram, fueled by their close proximity in Vancouver, became a lifeline. In November of that year, they birthed WAGS of SCI on Instagram, a community that not only hosted local caregiver events but also united "inter-abled" women - wives, partners, and girlfriends of those living with SCI. Together, they provide unwavering support for the unique challenges that come with loving someone with a spinal cord injury. Elena and Brooke tirelessly advocate and reach out, with long-term dreams of establishing a non-profit to support inter-abled relationships, boosting mental, emotional, and physical well-being awareness, and funding special trips for deserving couples. Join Louise in an eye opening conversation with two very special advocates for those who are injured, but specifically for their caretakers and loved ones.   To learn more about WAGS and their work: https://wagsofsci.com/   Stay Connected: Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with anyone interested in advocacy for SCI funding!    BLINK of an Eye® Podcast is sponsored by BLINK of an Eye® Non-Profit: A non-profit which is an essential national resource for Spinal Cord Injury, originating the first SCI Navigator Program in the country for newly injured SCI Families by SCI Families as an essential national resource for Spinal Cord Injured families in the first days, weeks and months of SCI crisis when life turns upside down and few medical teams in the US have SCI expertise or lived experience.

    #279 The Universal Laws of Change: Habits of Mind to Live into an Integrated Life despite an Uncertain Future with Futurist Cecily Sommers In this season finale on Living a Life of Integration after major life changes, Louise sits down with Cecily Sommers, global trends analyst, futurist, and author of Think Like a Futurist. Their conversation explores the universal nature of change—how it unfolds in our personal lives, across society, and within the cosmos itself. Cecily shares the four habits of mind—optimism, curiosity, courage, and patience—that help us navigate uncertainty, as well as her perspective on reinvention, resilience, and what it means to lose an ordered life and find ourselves again. She also reflects on her journey as a breast cancer survivor, offering hard-won wisdom on how to nurture our souls and co-create with change. This thoughtful exchange closes out Season 5 with insight and inspiration, reminding us that change, though often disruptive, is also a guide toward living with greater purpose and that we all have an inherent capacity to live a trauma healing integrated life even after life altering change.  Sending love  Resources www.cecilysommers.com Stay Connected: Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with anyone interested in advocacy for SCI funding!    BLINK of an Eye® Podcast is sponsored by BLINK of an Eye® Non-Profit: A non-profit which is an essential national resource for Spinal Cord Injury, originating the first SCI Navigator Program in the country for newly injured SCI Families by SCI Families as an essential national resource for Spinal Cord Injured families in the first days, weeks and months of SCI crisis when life turns upside down and few medical teams in the US have SCI expertise or lived experience.

    #278 The Long Arc of Living a Life of Trauma Integration and Resilience with Dr. Ann Kaiser Stearns

    #278 The Long Arc of Living a Life of Trauma Integration and Resilience with Dr. Ann Kaiser Stearns Louise sits down with Dr. Ann Kaiser Stearns, a psychologist, educator, and bestselling author whose work has touched millions through her books, lectures, and decades of teaching. In this conversation, she shares insights from more than 30 years of research and clinical experience on the long-term journey of resilience, grief, and our human capacity to integrate profound loss into a new sense of self. Together they explore the long arc of healing after life-altering trauma, the difference between simply surviving and truly integrating, the power of one decision to live fully, and the role of meaning-making in shaping one’s future. Dr. Stearns vividly illustrates what trauma integration can look like over time, including the phenomenon of paying it forward for others.  She also speaks to caregivers, the importance of their purpose, and mental health tips for how growth and strength can emerge even when loss is permanent. Her wisdom helps illuminate the closing reflections on Tony Schmiesing’s journey—what it means to continue integrating over time, to redefine identity, and to embrace the ongoing work of living fully.

    #277 Embracing Disability Identity as part of Living a Life of Integration with Anthony Tusler

    #277 Embracing Disability Identity as part of Living a Life of Integration with Anthony Tusler  Louise sits down with Anthony Tusler, a writer, photographer, advocate, and educator who has lived with a spinal cord injury for over 70 years. Anthony reflects on his journey of embracing his disability identity in the activism of the 1970s, a turning point that shaped his life’s work in education, community building, and the arts. He shares how community and advocacy are essential to belonging, how art can change the way disability is seen, and how integration and community are key to living a meaningful life. Anthony also speaks to the importance of advocacy in today’s political climate and the responsibility we all share in protecting disability rights since it was the advocacy of SCI advocates and others who made life easier for all Americans with ramps and curb cuts. His insights offer wisdom, encouragement, and a reminder that disability is part of the human experience, something every human will face, not to be feared, but embraced.   Resources https://aboutdisability.com/ https://cripcamp.com/   Stay Connected: Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with anyone interested in advocacy for SCI funding!    BLINK of an Eye® Podcast is sponsored by BLINK of an Eye® Non-Profit: A non-profit which is an essential national resource for Spinal Cord Injury, originating the first SCI Navigator Program in the country for newly injured SCI Families by SCI Families as an essential national resource for Spinal Cord Injured families in the first days, weeks and months of SCI crisis when life turns upside down and few medical teams in the US have SCI expertise or lived experience.
