Austin has lived overseas in various countries for almost 10 years of his life. He’s studied more than 12 languages, in depth, and taught English as a second language for more than 20 years, in several different contexts. Austin is often asked what it takes to learn a new language and what is the best approach. Listen today to hear the answers and learn some surprising tips and available resources for anyone at any age that will enhance your language journey. Learning a new language offers numerous benefits, from personal growth and enhanced communication to career advancement and improved cognitive function. It can also broaden one's cultural understanding and make travel experiences more enriching. Here's a more detailed look at the reasons to learn a new language: 1. Enhanced Communication and Social Connections: Language is fundamental to communication, and learning a new language allows you to connect with a wider range of people, both locally and globally. It opens doors to forming deeper connections and building relationships with individuals who speak that language. 2. Career Opportunities and Salary: In today's globalized world, language skills are highly sought after in various industries. Being fluent in a second language can increase your job prospects and potentially lead to higher salaries. For example, many jobs in government, business, and international organizations require language proficiency. 3. Cognitive Benefits: Learning a new language can improve cognitive abilities, such as memory, attention span, and multitasking. Studies have shown that bilingual individuals may be better at switching between tasks and managing multiple projects. 4. Cultural Understanding and Enrichment: Learning a language provides insights into the culture, traditions, and perspectives of the language's speakers. It can enhance your appreciation for diverse cultures and broaden your worldview. 5. Travel and Exploration: Being able to communicate in a foreign language can make travel experiences more rewarding and immersive. You can connect with locals, navigate unfamiliar situations with greater ease, and truly experience the culture of a place. 6. Personal Growth and Confidence: Learning a new language can be a challenging but rewarding journey that boosts your confidence and sense of accomplishment. It can also expand your perspective and make you more open to new experiences. 7. Mental Health Benefits: Learning a new language can stimulate the brain and help maintain cognitive function, potentially delaying the onset of age-related mental decline. It can also be a source of mental stimulation and enjoyment. People who speak more than one language automatically gain the capacity to connect with more people. Creating social relationships leads to building closer business and community connections with each other. This has been a presentation of the BEARANOOGA PRODUCTIONS group!

Steve is a walking miracle. He was born two-and-a half months premature with Cerebral Palsy. The doctors did not have much hope for him…but God had other plans. Steve has seen God’s faithfulness as he has been a radio disc jockey, TV news anchor/reporter, pastor, missionary and motivational speaker. He feels his most important role in life is to be a godly husband and father to his kids. Steve and Julie met while Steve was speaking at a church in Oregon and they got married in 2005. Julie has a background in ministry and missions as well. She served at a women’s shelter and orphanage in Mexico before meeting Steve. Steve and his family are headed back to the The Netherlands sometime this year as full time missionaries! Resources: -Main Website: www.stevekramer.org -Fixed Mindset vs Growth Mindset Notes- Growth Mindset: Those who have a growth mindset believe that their abilities can be developed through hard work and dedication, which can lead to increased motivation and a willingness to take on new challenges. These are the key elements of a growth mindset: 1. Intelligence can be developed. A fixed mindset might say intelligence is static. 2. Embrace challenges. ... 3. Persist in the face of setbacks. ... 4. See effort as a path to mastery. ... 5. Learn from criticism. ... 5 ½. Find inspiration in the success of others. Fixed Mindset: Those with a fixed mindset tend to view their abilities as being set in stone, which can lead to a fear of failure or a reluctance to take on challenges. People with a fixed mindset believe individual traits cannot change, no matter how much effort you put in, and are more likely to: 1. Believe intelligence and talent are static. 2. Avoid challenges to avoid failure. 3. Ignore feedback from others. 4. Feel threatened by the success of others. 5. Hide flaws so as not to be judged by others.

Send a text or comment! MY NEW NORM Podcast- S4 E13 / P2 Host: BARRY SCOTT YOUNG Episode: A LOOK BEHIND THE MIC A BEAR- NOOGA PRODUCTION A LOOK BEHIND THE MIC- Part 2 With more than 50 episodes behind me, I am often asked how do you find people? If you don’t know, I was in fully time ministry for over 35 years. That’s a lot of exposure to people. A good portion of that time was in youth ministry. It was a blast investing in the lives of young people – it was a privilege. So not only do I have decades of those relationships to pull from but also from those we fellowshipped and ministered with. Life exposes you to people – people have stories and I think, most stories are meant to be shared –again, that’s testimony. After living in California most of my 60-something life and starting new in Tennessee, I’ve found new connections and friendship of which I can also pull from. There is also the “I know a guy who knows a guy” resource. I keep a running list of people who drop into my mind and pull from that list. And let me put this out there – if any of my listeners know that guy or gal, give me a ring. That answer segways easily into the “what challenges do I face” question. The list doesn’t always produce the outcome of a guest – people are not ready to share, to shy, or sometimes just too busy. And that’s okay – I learned to trust the process. Then there is the personal struggle – myself. I don’t script the podcasts. I want to make them the most natural conversations I can. Sometimes I listen to myself and wish I’d say something different, or I hear the struggle of getting some words out that sound weird due to the strokes affect on my speech. But I can say this – I recently listened to my first podcast and felt so encouraged to hear that my speech has improved. I’m so grateful that my initial purpose of beginning this podcast was to help me with my speech challenges and even I can hear the improvement. I’d say technical issues are pretty low on my list of challenges, but they do happen – but that gives me the opportunity to up my game and skill level - and when I overcome it… it’s a pretty great feeling. I really didn’t know how long this podcast would last, honestly, it’s already gone beyond where I thought it would go, both with the audience and time. But I can tell you this – I AM having fun – I love the renewed friendships – some of my guests and I haven’t touched base in decades and man, there’s nothing like friendships where you can look back and see not only what people have endured and overcome, but the faithfulness of God. I love hearing their stories – I love the authenticity of real life and a willingness to share. It will often bring tears to my eyes or make me laugh. It’s interesting and I would probably want to do this if I only had a few listeners. So, to wrap this up, I hope you’ve gained a little bit of what goes on in the background and how the My New Norm podcast got started and how it’s been such a positive addition to my life…. and I hope yours too; whether you pop in for a listen every once in a while or don’t miss an episode, I greatly appreciate your interest and support. I hope to continue to bring many more stories - your stories - to the podcast. And If you want to share it with others - that would be great. If you ever have questions or comments, I welcome them. This is Barry Scott Young, and this has been a look behind the mic, thanks for listening! mynewnorm.buzzsprout.com/ / YouTube.com/@mynewnorm…

Parent Resource: Investing in resilience • Teach them that life isn’t fair. Share stories from your own experiences. • Embrace the mistakes – this allows for learning. • Build strong emotional connection with you kids and help them to unpack what is going on to ensure they don’t learn the wrong lessons. • Encourage healthy risk taking. • Resist the urge to fix it. Ask questions instead. • Deliberately hunt out the good in their life and help them to do the same. Gratitude journals are great for this, or it can be a daily dinner table/car ride conversation. • Model resilience in your own life.

MY NEW NORM Podcast- S4 E4 - Guest: BILL PARKER- J.D., M.S., Licensed Mental Health Counselor Episode: ADULTING WITH ATTENTION- DEFICIT Presented by: BEAR- NOOGA PRODUCTIONS Chattanooga, Tennessee SHAREABLE Episode Quick Peek Video Link: https://youtu.be/-hCG7tauDDQ?si=tc7T491aHjD8Re_2 In this episode, you’ll hear from my friend, Bill Parker, Mental Health Counselor, from Experience Matters Counseling / West Palm Beach, Florida. Bill helps us understand, and deal with the challenges of adult ADHD. In adults, the main features of ADHD may include difficulty paying attention, impulsiveness and restlessness. Symptoms can range from mild to severe. Many adults with ADHD aren't aware they have it — they just know that everyday tasks can be a challenge. www.experiencematterscounseling.com Special thanks to Tammy Arlin, and Barry DeHart for sharing their story about adult ADHD in the episode intro. What is Adult ADHD? Adult attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a mental health disorder that includes a combination of persistent problems, such as difficulty paying attention, hyperactivity and impulsive behavior. Adult ADHD can lead to unstable relationships, poor work or school performance, low self-esteem, and other problems. Though it's called adult ADHD, symptoms start in early childhood and continue into adulthood. In some cases, ADHD is not recognized or diagnosed until the person is an adult. Adult ADHD symptoms may not be as clear as ADHD symptoms in children. In adults, hyperactivity may decrease, but struggles with impulsiveness, restlessness and difficulty paying attention may continue. Treatment for adult ADHD is similar to treatment for childhood ADHD. Adult ADHD treatment includes medications, psychological counseling (psychotherapy).

Casa of Hope is a certified 501(c)3 nonprofit since 2017 WHAT WE DO- Dedicated to providing safe housing support to sexually exploited women, educating communities, outreach, and bringing awareness in an effort to combat modern-day slavery of men, women, youth, and children. VISION- At Casa of Hope, we want more for survivors, to not only see them survive, but to overcome in every aspect of their lives.

MORE INFORMATION- -Casa of Hope is an anti-human trafficking agency dedicated to providing safe housing support to sexually exploited women, educating communities, outreach, and bringing awareness in an effort to combat modern-day slavery of men, women, youth, and children. ​-At Casa of Hope we know human trafficking can be a dark and uneasy topic of discussion, however the reality is communities are being targeted all over the United States and abroad. Because it's happening in our own backyards, we desire to educate communities on the various forms of trafficking as well as potential influences. Because we know it could be our neighbor's daughter, a co-worker's niece or nephew, a friend's grandchild, we want the community to be aware of various traps traffickers may use through force, fraud, and/or coercion to enslave victims. Because of the day and age we live in, we want people to be aware of the different avenues such as technology and games in which a child, teenager, young person, or adult can find themselves facing, such as a life of slavery in the sex industry.
