Each day, more than 54 million Americans are responsible for serving as a caregiver for a loved one.Three decades with Parkinson’s disease has made movement for my father Denny O’Leary nearly impossible. But with the help of another person, guiding him from spot to spot, supporting him in the shower, assisting as he gets dressed, and guiding a wheelchair from room to room, the absolute impossible becomes possible. And this care happens all day, every day.For Dad, the person doing all that work is my mother, Susan O’Leary. She’s remarkable, and she’s not alone.Often caregiving is a burden to bear and a problem to be solved. And yet as an expert in gerontology, Dr. Sarah Teten Kanter is on a mission to make caregiving and care receiving a time to savor and an opportunity for personal growth.Today, Sarah shares the simple activities, conversation-inspiring questions, and self-care practices designed to immerse caregivers and their care partners in gratitude, empathy, forgiveness, love, and awe. Why these five specific emotions? By exuding these positive emotions, it’s been shown to improve health, reduce stress and create meaning in daily life in the relationships of caregivers and care receivers.My friends, this conversation reminds us to embrace the full gift of life at every stage and every age.Listen to Dr. Sarah Teten Kanter on Live Inspired Podcast ep 604 now:My website: johnolearyinspires.com/podcast/archive/sarah-teten-kanter/Your favorite podcast app: link.chtbl.com/tOmM9ExS ...

“Having a good time together is the essence of lovingness and the best means of increasing it.” Benjamin SpockA client I’ve previously partnered with several times invited me speak this week. It would be our fourth time working together, and this time the event would be held in Nantucket. His invitation came with one condition, though: He insisted I bring my wife. Ummm. Ok. We can do that!For a couple that spends a lot of time racing after kids and busy up at school and keeping wildly hectic work schedules and sometimes pass like ships in the night, it was an absolute delight to have 48 hours together to slow down, explore an amazing island, dance in the rain (literally) bask in the sun, and walk the quaint cobblestone streets. It was sacred time to be reminded not only of the beauty of life, but the joy discovered in simply spending time together. Tonight, we are back to helping kids with homework, racing off to practices, catching up at work…. In other words, life. But the smiles on our faces in this picture are still plastered on our faces this evening. Grateful to my dear for the gift he gave Beth and me. Turns out having a good time together is the essence of lovingness ….. and the best means of increasing it. JPS: My friends, although I can’t offer you Nantucket, I want to invite you to an experience certain to remind you of the beauty of life and the joy of spending time with friends. Join me the Saturday after Thanksgiving at our first annual ‘On Fire For Good’ experience. I am bringing some of the most remarkable people I’ve met from around the world onto one stage to remind YOU of the beauty of your story and truth that the best is yet to come. Part storytelling. Part concert. All heart! Let’s create an unforgettable experience together. Learn more at www.OnFireForGood.com ... See MoreSee Less

As a high school freshman, I’d never been to a concert and never understood why people would take their hard-earned money from cutting grass to attend one. With a band from Ireland coming to St. Louis, my sister Amy encouraged me to attend with her. After some push back from me, she finally said, “John, it’s going to rock. You’ll love it. Come and see.” Surrounded by 56,000 fellow background singers belting every lyric with Bono, I realized Amy was right. There is something remarkable about U2, about live music, and about shared experience with friends.As a college freshman playing NHL95 in a dorm, my roommate, John Jackson, encouraged me to go with him to a fraternity rush party. Content to stay in my room and improve my gaming skills, I told him I wasn’t going. John walked over to the television, turned it off and told me I was going. He added, “Besides, the guys are great. You’ll have a blast. Come and see.”I ended up pledging that fraternity, became lifelong friends with those guys, and grew in confidence during those years. And at one of the fraternity parties, I even met a beautiful brunette named Beth. Turns out my buddy John was right.As a parent of three boys under five while maintaining a travel-intensive speaking schedule, I found myself meandering a bit in my spiritual journey. Several men I barely knew encouraged me to check out a weekend ACTS retreat to recenter my faith. One of them, Glenn Fox, wrote a two-page letter and ended it by reminding me “In the midst of the busyness of your life, come join us to be reminded of what matters most. You’ll be glad you did. Come and see.”That weekend, and the more than 10 ACTS weekends I’ve participated in subsequently, rooted me in my faith, provided clarity professionally, and elevated my focus as a husband and father. It also blessed me with an incredible network of guys I love.Why share these stories with you?Well, my friends, after years of traveling, hundreds of podcast interviews, and innumerable impromptu conversations on airplanes, I’ve met some of the most remarkably talented and inspirational people in the world. I’ve heard life stories that filled me with hope and reminded me we all have the potential to be used for good.To ensure we kick off the upcoming holiday season right, I’m hosting a live event that you can attend in my hometown of St. Louis or stream virtually anywhere around the world. The evening will be part storytelling, part concert, and all heart. It will bring together the very best of those I’ve met on one stage to remind the rest of us of our ability to positively change the world — starting with our own.This experience, On Fire For Good, will fill your heart with gratitude, prepare you for the coming holiday season, and remind you that your best is yet to come. We want you to share it with us.Not sure if you can make it? Not sure it will be worth your time? Not sure if the message will resonate with you? Not sure if you’ll be back from your black Friday shopping spree?Come and see.My friends, in the busyness of the approaching holiday season and the chaotic nature of our lives, this experience will remind you what matters most, reinforce the beauty of your story, and absolutely set you On Fire For Good. Join me the Saturday after Thanksgiving, November 25th, at 7 p.m. either in our live audience in St. Louis or our virtual audience by livestreaming wherever you are that night.It will be an evening of inspiration, celebration, and community.Come as you are. Leave On Fire For Good.I can’t wait to see you there.onfireforgood.com/ ... See MoreSee Less

573. That’s how many home runs Harmon Killebrew smashed in his career. But by far the most meaningful he hit occurred after visiting a burn center in 1964. Entering into a patient’s room he met a little eight-year-old named John Guiney. Little John was severely burned when he got too close to a candle at church and his clothes caught fire. Several weeks later while visiting a burn center, one of the greatest home run hitters of all time met a boy who inspired him. During the visit Harmon Killebrew learned about the boy’s family, that he loved baseball and that he played shortstop as a third grader so he gave little John a signed baseball and glove. As Killebrew prepared to leave for his game, little John said he’d be watching him on television. To which the slugger responded playfully that he’d hit a couple home runs for him. Well, in his first at bat that afternoon, on the first pitch he saw, Harmon Killebrew, crushed a home run. And John watched amazed from his hospital bed. Several innings later, Killebrew crushed a second home run. A promise made to a little boy struggling in a hospital bed had been kept. My friends, today whether we find ourselves in a burn center, at an office, or on the sideline of a youth sporting game, we all need encouragement and love from others. But as important as being open to receiving encouragement and love from others is, so is the active, intentional desire to embody it in a world longing for it.Have an awesome day and know that your life matters. Act like it. J. ... See MoreSee Less
