It’s been a tough year. One that’s left so many of us to deal with a loss. Whether it’s a major loss, like that of a loved one and we’re reeling — or the quieter kind of loss, of a way of life, socialization, security — we are left to cope all the same. Our Ascension Show team is there with you. We’ve lost too. As Host Jennifer Shaffer tells us, “Don’t try to get over this, just co-exist with it.” Drs. Andrea Best and Denise McDermott will talk about all the losses their seeing with patients in their medical practices. And we’ll also delve into the concept that Loss is Personal. And your loss is, as Dr. Denise always says, “Divinely f**ked up, perfect.” Dr. Best will lead us on a Mindful Moment. And Ascension Medium Jennifer will tap into the New Normal and see how our ancestors can help us deal with loss this time of year.

David and Dr. Denise discussed how to be in flow and alchemize suffering to go next level in all areas of one’s life!
Julia and Maddy created Sentiment back in March, after seeing how the pandemic was negatively affecting mental health. They realized that lots of people were having a hard time checking in on themselves regularly, and though this was worsened by the pandemic, it was not a new phenomenon. So, they created Sentiment: a texting community where they send daily texts to remind people to check in on themselves and their loved ones to provide inspiration, motivation and connection.
Julia Sheth was born and raised in Manhattan Beach, California (where she recently met Dr. Denise)! She graduated from the engineering school at Columbia University this past May with a degree in Computer Science, and she is now working as a software engineer at Microsoft.
Maddy Placik grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and attended Colby College in Maine where she studied Physics and Art, graduating in May 2018. She then continued her studies at Columbia University where she met Julia while also studying Computer Science. Maddy is now working as a Project Manager at American Express in New York City.
“Special thanks to Professor Lydia Chilton for believing in us and helping us along our journey with Sentiment and the Columbia University Virtual Design Challenge and Ignition Grant for inspiring us to create Sentiment and supporting us through the process!” ~xoxo Maddy & Julia

This is the week in the United States that many of us think about Gratitude and its role in our lives. The Ascension Show Team wants us to paint all our days in the colors of #GRATITUDE! We dig deep and see what we’re grateful for in our personal lives, but Dr. Denise McDermott and Dr. Andrea Best also talk about how they counsel their patients in gratitude. Look for Ascension Medium Jennifer Shaffer to tune us into how this is prevalent in her practice too. Dr. Best will school us on the Science of Gratitude and how our body, mind and soul benefit from incorporating this into mindful practices. We’re also “Being Real Here” — at this Time of Thanksgiving in the age of pandemic. We share our unique and creative plans for getting through the holiday season. From quarantine groups, bi-coastal family sing-alongs and more! Plus, we will discuss nutrition => exercise => and your immune system. Look for our Gratitude in Action segment when we serve up homework to load up your platter of grateful feelings and all its healthy side dishes.
