Help For The Helpers

Dana Belletiere

Help for the Helpers explores the bold, courageous and often out-of-the-box ways that professionals have shaped their careers in the helping fields to best serve their own wants and needs. Each week I have the privilege of speaking with tenacious helpers that are taking extraordinary measures to manifest their personal calling, improve upon their physical and emotional well-being, make radical lifestyle changes, plug into creative outlets, and meet (or soar past) their financial goals. Their stories are SO IMPORTANT and UTTERLY INSPIRING.

    HELP FOR THE HELPERS Episode 11: Mindfullness and Your Career with Viki Stith

    Any other helpers out there that are prone to fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants decision making? How about staying paralyzed in one place, opting not to try new things even when we know our current situation isn’t the right fit? Ignoring our intuition because of fear, doubt, or insecurity? No? Just me? I talk this week with Viki Stith, a woman who has all the regular fears and insecurities as the rest of us, but who trusts and listens to her gut in order to make decisions, resulting in a very cool career as a helper that’s moved at an extraordinary speed. Her personal work with Buddhism and mindfulness has shaped how she approaches her career. She is a force, to be sure! Victoria Stith uses mindfulness and other evidence-based practices to help parents of addicted adult children find peace of mind and freedom from suffering, while being compassionate and loving parents. She is also a licensed psychotherapist in private practice who specializes in mid-life transitions, anxiety, and stress-related issues. She’s been practicing mindfulness meditation in the Buddhist tradition for 25 years.

    HELP FOR THE HELPERS Episode 7: I Knew It Would Be an Uphill Battle with Nicole Bixler

    Feeling like we’re doing something important and meaningful is a cornerstone of helping work. Feeling as though we are completely aligned with our mission, and are carrying it out everyday, is the hallmark of a personal calling. In this episode I talk with Nicole Bixler, an innovative  helping professional who started her own nonprofit in Philadelphia to fill the holes she saw in services being provided to sex workers and substance users in the area. Nicole Bixler is a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor and Licensed Social Worker who began her career in 2011. Nicole is a huge supporter of Harm Reduction and founded her non profit Operation in My Back Yard (OPIMBY) in 2017. The name was chosen to challenge NIMBY (Not in My Back Yard) mentality since Bixler is a firm believer in supporting all humans regardless of their lifestyle. OPIMBY is a syringe access program in Philadelphia providing safer injection, smoking, snorting and sex work supplies to the most vulnerable groups in the city. OPIMBY also provides meals and scholarships for sober living if people ask for assistance. Basic wound care is provided by OPIMBY as well as education of safer use practices and free Narcan. Bixler currently works as an Executive Director of a medication assisted recovery program in Pennsylvania that provides methadone and Suboxone services as well as counseling and case management.   For more from Nicole, check out the following: Instagram: @op_imby Email: operationimby@yahoo.com Venmo: @OpImby   For more from me, check out: My website, where you can find details about my group intensive, Help Yourself: www.danabelletiere.com Instagram: @helpforthehelperspodcast Email: dana@danabelletiere.com   The post HELP FOR THE HELPERS Episode 7: I Knew It Would Be an Uphill Battle with Nicole Bixler appeared first on Cinepunx.
