“Weave and Cleave” Podcast

What happens when people commit to a trauma-informed lifestyle? Perspectives and responses shift, behaviors and actions change. Multi-ethnic groups are woven together, cleaving to each other with resilience and a healthy sense of being and belonging. Join Dr. Sanghoon Yoo, founder of The Faithful City and leader of the AZ Trauma-Informed Faith Coalition, and co-host Michelle Stiffler, writer and owner of Sincerity Method, as they discuss all things faith, science, and resilience.

“Arizona ACEs Consortium Interfaith Committee” Podcast 

Journey On: Faith Communities, Resilience, and Agents of Change. Join Sanghoon Yoo, founder of the Faithful City and leader of the Arizona ACEs Interfaith Committee, and co-host, Michelle Stiffler, Director of Trauma-informed Care at Hope Women's Center, as they chat with agents of change who are advancing the movement.

Jacob Holley was removed from his home at age 11. Over the next five and a half years, he moved in and out of 27 foster placements and was exposed to experiences he was too young to understand. Jacob had to grow up quickly, but with the help of a few insightful mentors and professionals, he grew up with resiliency and a strong sense of identity.

Today, Jacob is a certified trauma trainer and a youth advocate using his lived experience to inspire and educate others about the importance of trauma-informed practices, the complexities of the foster care system, and the resilience of those within it. In this episode, Jacob shares his professional journey and his faith journey. He also lets listeners in on some of the most beneficial words a helper can speak: How can I support you in following your dreams?

Jacob's story is heartwarming and powerful - a great way to launch Weave & Cleave's 4th podcast season!
