“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.

Meet Andi Deason Clements, Professor at East Tennessee State University, Associate Director of Research Design and Implementation at the ETSU Strong BRAIN Institute, and president of Uplift Appalachia, a nonprofit that equips churches to help those with substance use disorder and mental health challenges.

And meet Becky D. Haas, international trauma-informed trainer, ordained minister, and pioneer in creating trauma-informed communities. Her cross-sector work in Northeast Tennessee has been awarded and recognized by SAMHSA, the Obama administration, and other agencies as a model to be followed.

A decade ago, Andi and Becky discussed ideas that would create social change in their community. They took steps, did what they could, and today, they've taken change beyond their town, across sectors, and across countries. They credit two things: their faith in Jesus and their friendship. Listen in as Andi and Becky talk about their work and its evolution over the years, their self-care strategies, the importance of relationships, the vitality of prayer, and the necessity of endurance.
