2016 Kids Count Report: Ivette Rodriguez Stern

Over a six year period from 2008 through 2014, life both worsened for Hawaii kids who fell into poverty - and got better for teens. The better outcomes for teens are a bright spot in the 2016 Annie E Casey Foundation’s Kids Count Data Book. It offers some relief to the other economic findings that put Hawaii in the middle of the states based on four rankings for the health and wellbeing of families and children. Ivette Rodriguez Stern is Project Director of the Hawaii Kids Count Project.

Spiritual Hypnotherapy: Gayle Barklie

It’s all too easy to be your own worst enemy - setting up internal barriers you don’t even know are there... giving yourself reasons to fail before you’ve even made an effort… Those barriers are down there in your subconscious -- not all that easy to reach, which is why some have come to embrace hypnotherapy. Gayle Barklie is conducting a workshop on Maui this week for mental health professionals, aimed at demonstrating what their patients can gain from allowing themselves to be hypnotized.

From the Farm: Neal Conan

Markets around the world recovered some ground today after scary losses following the British referendum last week. But Political uncertainty continues on both sides of the Atlantic: both of Britain's major parties are in chaos, the leadership of the EU is trying to come to terms with its greatest challenge to date and the Trump and Clinton campaigns are trying to gouge lessons learned... so this week, it’s one big story with several threads on the mind of News Analyst Neal Conan.

Rhythm Workshop: Deborah Masterson

Every culture has its own distinctive rhythms -- and they’re inside us, whether we know it or not… yet there are many who say they just don’t have rhythm; somehow, a fundamental connection has been lost. Deborah Masterson has studied rhythms around the world, and she says immersion in the rhythms all around us: learning to create rhythms and move in concert with them -- can both help us and heal us.
