#122 - Healing Somatically Through Food (with Tracy Brown, RD)
Trauma is connected in many ways to how we nurture ourselves and how we were nurtured when we were young. And for some people, that may influence their relationship with food. In today’s Trauma Healing Learning, Louise talks to Tracy Brown, a registered dietitian and somatic coach, about the intersection and connected relationship between trauma healing, our nervous systems and nutrition. Learn more about intuitive eating, Tracy’s unique practice and how to better advocate for a loved one’s or your own nutritional needs when they are in a medical setting or medical crisis.
You won't want to miss this engaging and eye-opening conversation on our relationship to food and our bodies!

#121 - Sweet Savorings
Orange juice, sweet, sweet Simply Orange, finally. But just one drop. Archer passed his swallow test and for the first time in over a month, he could savor flavors he loved. Join Louise in this episode of Blink of an Eye as she celebrates and looks back at the first big milestone of Archer’s time at the Shepherd Center: his swallow test and the glorious moments after, and, what surprising experiences food might mean to all of us. Hear about the continued generosity of friends, including a room of her own, as well as how food became a barometer for Archer’s mental and physical state in this episode.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Chris Killebrew, a friend of Louise’s from UVA college days and resident of Atlanta, who offered his empty condominium to Louise as a place of respite and home base. He and Louise talk about how the offering of the condo came to be through their late mutual friend Nick Costas and what it meant for Louise in the trauma and turmoil to have a quiet oasis.
Dewey Senft, one of Louise’s sons and Archer’s older brother by two years, who visited Archer just as he was beginning to swallow again. Louise and Dewey talk about what it took to get Archer to eat and the ways his interest and appetite served as a barometer for how he was doing during their time at Shepherd and the strength of will it takes for quadriplegics, and those compromised by pulmonary breathing issues, to want to live.

#118 - The Feeling of Home
If you can’t be at home, why not bring home to where you are? That’s what Louise started to do for both herself and Archer in this episode of Blink of an Eye — both consciously and subconsciously. As the Shepherd medical team struggled with finding pain management options for Archer’s unending pain and started preparations for his delicate sinus surgery, Louise found herself connecting with Baltimore community members about future visits to Atlanta. An old friend from the Order of Malta stops by as Louise unravels and he provides her with unexpected spiritual support.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Ned Insley, father of Archer’s friend Jeffers Insley in Baltimore, Maryland. He and Louise speak about the beginnings of coordinating frequent flier airline miles, the snafus and workarounds, and the system for shuttling Senft family members and Archer’s friends to and from Atlanta.
Diane Festa, a friend of the Senft’s from the Order of Malta and an Atlanta resident. She and Louise discuss Order of Malta member Monsignor Dillon’s visit to the Shepherd Center and their time in Lourdes, France.

#116 - For Real
There's power in children’s songs and power in prayers. And there's relief in feeling surrounded by medical expertise and community support, especially when Louise thought Archer would start in rehab, but they found themselves back in another ICU anxious about new complications of Archer’s Spinal Cord Injury. There were southern angels by Archer’s bedside and by Louise and Billy’s side, too. Come listen to who they were and join Louise in #116: For Real for some surprises from another lifetime.
In this episode, you’ll hear interview excerpts from:
Mary McCune Dillon, Louise’s college friend from UVA and one of the Atlanta Angels, speaks about the prep and organization that went into caring for the Senft family’s arrival at a temporary home away from home. They also talk about how a mutual college friend in Charleston, SC, ignited the formation of the Atlanta Angels and re-connections from another lifetime.

In this Trauma Healing Learning, hear new wisdom about the transitional period that might help you and many SCI families and ways friends and families can help navigate. Listen in to gain some practical tips from Louise on navigating the liminal space of moving towards rehabilitation while still being in the ICU or hospital.

#113 - The Makings of a StartUp SCI Nonprofit (with Retired Rear Admiral Tom Beeman, Dr. Kris Radcliff and Dr. Justin Tortolani)
In the months and years after Archer’s injury, Louise felt called to make sure other families dealing with spinal cord injuries had resources that she didn’t have when Archer was initially injured. This feeling led her to create Blink of an Eye and eventually I C THAT, the Integrative Center for Trauma Healing, Advocacy and Transformation. In this expanded trauma healing learning, hear about the importance of adequate medical care in the first hours after injury, the story behind I C THAT and the powerful things that happen when medical executives, practitioners, patients and their families come together to change the paradigm for care.

Angels have their ways of working silently and quietly to make wonderful things happen. As Archer was declining at AtlanticCare, members of the Senft family’s Baltimore community were busy in the background organizing a prayer vigil.

In this episode, we hear from organizers and attendees about the powerful event hosted at Friends School Baltimore in the aftermath of Archer’s injury. Hear about what it took to organize the vigil amidst Louise’s updates, and how healing it was from the inside out, for those involved.

#106 - Chaos and Rescue from the Beach…Montage
Possible C spine injury. No feelings in his arms. Needing to stabilize his neck. The sounds of sirens and waves. A hot, sweltering day. These fragments and the voices of EMS workers, lifeguards and beachgoers take us back to the day of Archer’s injury. In this BONUS episode of Blink of an Eye, we hear from Cape May, New Jersey, community members in their own words about the moment Archer dove into the water, the rescue and the rest of the scene on the beach. Memory can be a tricky thing, especially when it comes to trauma, and you’ll hear everyone’s different perception of the moment. Let these voices take you back to the teamwork and the powerful moments in the immediate aftermath of Archer’s accident.

#103 - On Eagle‘s Wings
With a flight to Atlanta imminent, Archer, Louise and their family’s time at AtlantiCare was coming to an abrupt and hectic end. The Senft family’s departure from AtlantiCare in NJ felt the way everything at AtlantiCare had been: difficult and with many roadblocks but still grateful for Archer’s life and also buoyed by the relational power of friendship and connection helping pave the way to Atlanta. How did we get here, and where do we go now? All signs pointed to the Shepherd Center. Join Louise for this final episode of #103: On Eagle’s Wings and soar with her listening to a surprise video of children’s voices and a gratitude tribute to all EMS workers who rescued Archer off the beach and who executed his delicate transport to Georgia.
In this episode, you will hear excerpts from interviews with:
Chief Harry Back, former Sr. Lieutenant of the Cape May Beach patrol and current Chief of the Cape May Beach Patrol for the City of Cape May, NJ, who was first on the scene at the beach when Archer was injured. Harry and Louise speak about the logistics, coordination and hard work of getting a person with SCI stabilized and off the beach.
Mary Turner, LPN, a member of the Beach Club and a nurse who was on the beach the day Archer was injured. She and Louise talk about witnessing Archer’s injury and knowing the moment it was serious as his arm drifted in the tide.
Chief Alex Coulter, Chief of the Cape May Fire Department, Cape May, NJ, who called and coordinated the helicopter and paramedics to transport Archer off the island that day. He and Louise talk about the teamwork and logistics of transporting an injured person off a small geographical place where the largest landing pad is an elementary school parking playing field.
Will Hudson, a member of the Beach Club and a college student who was on the beach when Archer was injured. Will and Louise talk about the scene of Archer’s injury and his beautiful frolicking dolphin dive and the confusion that came in the moments after he dove.
Mabeth Hudson, Esq., a member of the Beach Club and Will’s mom, who heard about the injury from Will. She and Louise talk about the moment Archer was injured and what Will witnessed.
India Cochrane, a member of the Beach Club and a college student who was on the beach at the time Archer was injured with Chance Laufman and witnessed the EMTs trying to stabilize him. She and Louise talk about what it is like to witness accidents like that and how scary that can be.
