The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast
Maureen Kafkis is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, the Brain BS™ coach, and the host of The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast. When she learned that the average human brain has over 60,000 thoughts a day and that most of them are lies (Brain BS™) that cause needless suffering, she started to learn how to separate the fact from fiction in her mind and has never looked back. Maureen truly believes that living consciously, understanding how your brains work, and learning to feel your feelings are necessary for an empowering and fulfilling life. She brings her expertise and extensive knowledge to inspire people in the SB area and beyond to learn how to live consciously, tap into their personal power and become leaders in their community.
In a world where there is so much division and way too much focus on competition, the Brain BS™ Coach is promoting a conscious community and lifestyle built on leadership energy, collaboration, and mutual support. She is doing that because the power of the collective far exceeds anything that can be done at the individual level and it’s just way more fun! If we all consciously collaborate with one another and succeed together we can have a substantial ripple effect that will extend far beyond our local community. Listen and learn how you can add value to your own community!

254) Let's Get Educated Regarding the Needs of the Disabled
In this episode I am speaking with Martha Varela who is the Executive Director of the Paralyzed Veterans of America (PVA). Martha has been on the podcast in the past to talk about the Better With Horses Program that she participated in at the Horse Project with other paralyzed women veterans in the spring.
Well the second round took place a couple weeks ago and Martha and I were teamed up to work with one another over several days. In this episode, we talk about how great the program is and how much they loved it. But we also talk about how important it is to get educated regarding the needs of the disabled to ensure ease, joy and a safe environment.
Listen to our conversation and become educated on how challenging it is to be disabled and in a wheelchair, so we can all become advocates for our paralyzed veterans who sacrificed so much for us.
