#175 - A Conversation with Roy Tuscany, High Fives Non Profit Foundation
Known for his big air, speed, and style on the slopes, Roy Tuscany was on the path to realizing his dream until a life-altering injury in 2006 paralyzed him from the waist down. Inspired by the support he received during his own recovery, Roy transformed his experience into a positive force by creating the High Fives Non Profit Foundation. Roy now helps other disabled athletes return to the winter sports they love. His remarkable journey earned him the "spirit inspires" award from Disabled Sports USA in 2011, and he held the World Record for the most high fives in a 24-hour period. Join us to hear another beautiful story of trauma integration: paying it forward.

#173- Our guest Steve Corn - Patient Advocacy Tips Regarding Medical Bills
Steve Corn, a music industry titan in Los Angeles, faced his own trauma and pivoted his life in a new direction: patient advocacy regarding medical bills. Understanding the overwhelm of trauma, he enlightens hospital patients about the expenses associated with medical procedures and skillfully handles for them the massive bills that follow, even when the patient has health insurance. His motivation stems from a life-altering event that occurred in his family in the blink of an eye. Steve’s advocacy doesn't stop with tips on how to work with insurance companies. Did he say meniscus? Yes, he did. Join Louise to learn an imaginative and scientific way to describe the trauma experience, surprising tips for skin wounds, as well as how to help your friends who are facing a medical crisis.

#171 - Our Guest Fletcher CleavesTalks About His Journey of Recovery
Join Louise In today’s episode, where we have the pleasure of meeting Fletcher Cleaves. Fletcher's impact reaches far and wide, with appearances on prestigious platforms like College Game Day, ESPN TV and radio, SportsCenter, and Outside the Lines with Bob Ley. He even had the honor of speaking at a National Safety Transportation Board event in Washington D.C., as well as numerous schools, colleges, sports teams, community organizations, and businesses.
His journey of recovery was not without its share of challenges. His family faced hardships, his parents sacrificing their own livelihoods to become his full-time caretakers. Yet, through it all, Fletcher's determination shone through. He not only relearned essential skills but also earned a degree in Computer Science from the University of Memphis.

#167 - Preparing a Family for Another Transition
Despite Continued Setbacks, We Move Forward
Guiding a family through a traumatic event requires compassion, empathy, and a delicate balance of support and engagement. When faced with profound grief, it is crucial to provide a safe space for open family dialogue, together in family meetings. Acknowledging wrongs and supporting forgiveness can be powerful choices in the emotional healing process, allowing individuals to release the weight of resentment to foster their own personal growth. However, forgiveness is a deeply personal journey, and it can never be rushed nor forced. Patiently listening to each family member's unique experience of pain and loss helps create an atmosphere of understanding which further the journey of acceptance. As we close out season 3, Louise gives us rare glimpses into family conversations as her family makes another transition through Archer’s brave, harrowing journey of SCI recovery, moving from the halls of the Shepherd center to a begin a new chapter at the next hospital and rehab center Baltimore, Maryland.
In this episode:
Diane Festa, Dame in the Order of Malta, Atlanta Angel who cared for Louise so she could care for Archer.
Dr. Ray Talucci, the Chief of Trauma at Atlanticare Medical System in Atlantic City, NJ who provided profound words of wisdom in the last family meeting in the ICU.

#166 - The Power of a Collective Energy Field for Healing
How we co-create what we need
Sometimes healing feels excruciatingly slow – so slow that some people might tell you it’s not even happening. Other times, it just rushes forward with incredible momentum.

This is the second to last episode of Season 3! We’ll be sharing some exciting announcements about the upcoming season, so be sure to tune in. Here we go.
In this episode:
Edward Hamaty, Pulmonolgist at AtlantiCare who was one of the first people to work with Archer’s lungs and diaphragm in an extremely complex case.

#165 - On the Edge of Hope
Noticing Wonder and Awe to sustain the SCI Healing Journey
Have you ever noticed how what your believe can have tangible effects on what actually happens? Have you ever noticed signs around you, and known you were connected to something much larger than yourself? Join Louise on the latest twist in Archer's journey to return to Maryland from the Shepherd Center. On the heels of discovering blebs in Archer’s lungs and receiving a concerning diagnosis of Bullous Lung Disease, a number of occurrences took place that can only be called miraculous. Tune in to hear about them, and to cultivate your own awareness of what is possible in your life. Here we go.
In this episode:
Heather Robinson, a 5th Grade Teacher at Cape May Regional Elementary School, in the beach town where Archer had his injury. Heather shared Archer’s story with her students and together they created a beautiful class project that brought the students closer to gratitude for their breath and strong bodies while uplifting Louise and Archer.
Jessica Dibb, the Founder, Spiritual Director, and Principal Teacher of Inspiration Consciousness School, co-Director of the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and Trustee for the Blink of an Eye 501(c)(3), brought intuition and breath-work when Louise called upon her for insight about Archer’s lung capacity.

#164 - How Do You Build your SCI Community after Injury? with Kelly Sydnor
Even as COVID protocols have relaxed in hospital settings and family members have more access to being bedside with their SCI loved ones, there is still a tremendous gap across the US in the knowledge and expertise needed to respond to a SCI patient nationwide. The first critical decision made for a spinal cord injury is where to transport the injured person. Most 911 call centers are not familiar with the location of the 14 SCI model centers and SCI trauma centers. The decisions for transitioning to an appropriate rehab facility can be equally frought with uninformed decision making. Our guest today has been there as a mom of a son injured in 2011. She calls herself the Trauma Mamma as she is one of the SCI moms who reaches out to new SCI families in their time if overwhelm, families often struggling to understand SCI and caught in the medical system often working with medical teams who have little SCI expertise. Listen in as Kelly and Louise reflect on what they had to learn in the critical first weeks and months of injury and how this might help you or a friend navigate their way in the first months of SCI of a loved one.
Join us in building this SCI community as we connect and create a network of practical tips and support for SCI families and friends and medical staff working to provide the best care of their loved one to survive the first year of injury.
The creation of the Blink of an Eye non profit resource library is underway now. It will be a repository for the wisdom of SCI families, SCI information needed in the first year of injury, guidance, inspiration, and statistics that can empower families to guide the course of the SCI patient’s healing and advocate for their well being and their family's well being. Make sure to follow @BlinkofaneyeNonprofit on facebook and instagram for updates on the resource library.

#163 - Wholehearted Patient Care with Trauma Nurse Rebecca McWalters
Think about all the connotations of the word “care.” In a clinical context, it can refer to providers who give patients sustenance and medical attention for their survival and well being. Now, pair that definition with the more colloquial meaning of “care” – heartfelt devotion and love – and you have a truly incredible combination where a caregiver’s work is responsive to the patient as a whole human. There are so many emotional and medical factors at play for both patients and families in SCI rehab. Wholehearted care can make all the difference in trauma healing. Join Louise and Trauma Nurse Rebecca McWalters as we hear why nurses should slow down and how Mom's know best and what it takes to cultivate that combination of care as we get a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the workings of an SCI care team at a premiere rehabilitation facility. Here we go.
In this episode:
Rebecca McWalters is the Director of Nursing with Baron Home Group in Atlanta, Georgia. She previously was a nurse at the Shepherd Center in Atlanta and was one of the people who made a lasting impact on Archer’s care in the fall of 2015.

#162 - Listen to the Patient
Self-Advocacy and the Caring Ethic in SCI Rehab
Even though a Spinal Cord Injured person’s brain does not receive signals from lower parts of the body, that doesn't mean their body doesn't experience pleasure, pain or discomfort. And in late October, 2015, Archer knew. He knew his body well enough to speak up just in time about an internal sensation he thought he experienced. Thankfully someone was listening. Join us for a surprising turn in our journey, as we narrowly dodge a particularly ghoulish Halloween event but end up confronting something even more shocking. This could be the reminder you need to remember to listen – to your own needs, or to someone near you who needs to be heard right now, and how to paint the picture of the patient so the medical team can see who they really are. Here we go.
In this episode:
Rebecca McWalters was one of Archer’s most dedicated and responsive nurses at the Shepherd Center. After working there for 14 years, she is now Director of Nursing with Baron Home Group in Georgia, serving SCI patients in their homes.

#161 - Fr. Bruno Lanteri’s Healing Legacy with Fr. John Wykes, OMV
What does it mean to be Holy?
What can one man who lived in Italy over 200 years ago teach us about how to live daily in modern life? You might be surprised. Fr John Wykes of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary joins us from Rome to discuss the history and teachings of Fr. Bruno Lanteri, who became very important to the Senft family following Archer’s accident. Fr. Lanteri offers simple, elegant teachings that are relevant to anyone regardless of faith, and his life gives us examples of how to move through adversity toward healing in a simple mantra. His message is particularly useful for anyone moving through a traumatic life event or injury such as SCI, or facing any life challenges. Here we go.
In this episode:
Fr John Wykes is the Director of Communications for the Oblates of the Virgin Mary in Rome. He is also the director and co-producer of the film Nunc Coepi - the Life of Venerable Bruno Lanteri.

#160 - A Sacred Pause
How Rest created Space to receive a Miraculous Healing
When you’re caught in the spiral of constant activity – especially in the wake of a catastrophic injury, during the high-stakes weeks of rehabilitation – it can feel impossible to break the momentum in order to rest. But that might be exactly what you need most.

You may find the inspiration you need to schedule yourself a break, or find whatever spaciousness you can right now to receive the blessings that are trying to reach you, as well. Here we go.
In this episode:
Diane Beliveau is an executive presentation skills instructor with Dale Carnegie Training. At the time of Archer’s accident, she was also the President of the Catholic Business Network in Baltimore of which Louise was a member.

Learnings from an EMT.
This episode is dedicated to all of the first responders: all of the dispatchers who receive 911 calls, all of the firefighters, EMTs and paramedics and other personnel who dedicate years of their life to training and then go on to be that cool head in a very fast-paced moment of crisis, some of which have life-or-death outcomes. We rely so much on all of these individuals, and also for the systems that work together to make the time between the emergency call and the response as quick as possible. In this episode, Rich Holzman draws on over 25 years of experience as a first responder, firefighter and asst Chief to give us an inside look at the procedures that go into emergency response. Here we go.
In this episode:
Rich Holzman, the retired Assistant Chief of the Montgomery County Fire Department in Maryland, with over 25 years of service in the field. Rich was also Archer’s baseball coach in grade school and middle school.

#158 - Lessons from Past Trauma
Going Back to Go Forward
Time is not linear. At least, not the felt sense of time. And when a crisis shocks the system, complex things can happen to the perception of time. Shock has the potential to bring us over the “window of tolerance” as described by Dan Siegel, and into the realm of trauma. When this happens, we need to later go back with resources and spaciousness to move through those experiences. In this episode, we take you on an experiential journey through embodied time in the wake of a trauma. You can expect the entertainment and nourishment of a powerful, true story, as well as some practical breathwork and somatic tools to gently move through your own difficult memories. Here we go.
In this episode:
Dr. Kris Radcliff, from Atlanticare ICU, who graciously and mindfully consulted with our family during the first hours following Archer’s accident.
Davis Barsby, a lifelong family friend who was with Archer when Archer had his accident. That summer, Davis was working as both head lifeguard and assistant manager at the Cape May Beach Club.
Jessica Dibb, the Founder, Spiritual Director, and Principal Teacher of Inspiration Consciousness School, co-Director of the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance and Trustee for the Blink of an Eye 501(c)(3), was whom Louise called upon for intuition and breath-work insight about Archer’s lung capacity.

#156 - The Doctor is not the only Authority
Timing the Rehab Hospital Discharge for SCI patients
The lifelong effects of SCI highlight how fragile life is and how deeply interdependent we are. And, in the case of the person living with a SCI, getting basic needs met necessitates relying on others, and interdependence takes on a whole new dimension. The transition home from the hospital or rehab facility cannot be rushed. SCI survival depends on having a suitable home and trained care team. The hospital team may not realize what it takes for families to put this together and families may need to negotiate for more time. Families can look inward to another authority guiding them through this life change and timing decisions– and that is getting in touch with the inner authority. This affects how you know when the time is right, how you know when you have the right care team, how you communicate your goals to medical practitioners, and also how you can access hope. Take a moment, drop into your inner-knowing and join us to learn what it meant for Louise and how that might inspire your own decision making and healing process. Here we go.
In this episode:
Price Campbell, one of Archer’s dear high school friends from McDonogh School in Baltimore who was one of the friends to come visit Archer at Shepherd. Hear about Price’s visit when she was just 16 years old, her fears, and what sparked some much-needed ease and a moment of lightness and restoration everyone involved.
