All-Girls Education from Ward Seminary to Harpeth Hall 1865–2015

Mary Ellen Pethel

Synopsis

The history behind one of the oldest all-girls prep schools in the South.   During the final days of the Civil War, Dr. William Ward and his wife, Eliza Ward, envisioned a school for young women in Nashville that would evolve into one of the nation’s most prestigious institutions. As the New South dawned, Ward Seminary opened its doors in September 1865.   Merging with Belmont College for Young Women in 1913, Ward-Belmont operated as a college preparatory school, music conservatory, and junior college. In 1951, the high school division moved farther west, reopening as the Harpeth Hall School after Ward-Belmont’s sudden closure. Ward Seminary, Belmont College, Ward-Belmont, and Harpeth Hall are simply separate chapters of one continuous story—providing a lens through which to understand the evolution of all-girls education in the United States.

Undercover Epicenter Nurse - How...

RN Erin Marie Olszewski BSN, J....

Army combat veteran and registered nurse Erin Olszewski's most deeply held values were put to the test when she arrived as a travel nurse at Elmhurst Hospital in the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. After serving in Iraq, she was back on the front lines—and this time, she found, the situation was even worse. Rooms were filthy, nurses were lax with sanitation measures, and hospital-acquired cases of COVID-19 were spreading like wildfire. Worse, people who had tested negative multiple times for COVID-19 were being labeled as COVID-confirmed and put on COVID-only floors. Put on ventilators and drugged up with sedatives, these patients quickly deteriorated—even though they did not have coronavirus when they checked in. Erin wasn't about to stand by and let her patients keep dying on her watch, but she knew that if she told the truth, people wouldn't believe her. She began to share what she found on social media. Unsurprisingly, she was fired for it. Now, Erin is standing up to tell the whole horrifying story of what happened inside Elmhurst Hospital to demand justice for those who fell victim to the hospital's greed. Not only must the staff be held accountable for their unethical actions; but also, this kind of corruption must be destroyed so that future Americans are not put at risks.

The Dismissive Avoidant...

Ph.D. Dr. Christine Chin-Sim

As a relationship and life coach, I’ve seen firsthand how entrenched ways of behaving, as a result of childhood trauma, can result in toxic and unhealthy relationships. These unhealthy relationships can leave one or both partners bruised and battered from chronic emotional abuse. Many become closed-off toward any prospect of having their heart ripped out, from yet another toxic relationship. Others, find themselves having the same types of relationship with different partners and asking the question, “Why do I keep attracting the same man/woman over and over again?” 
As children, our experiences dictated how we attached to our caregivers. Unfortunately, how we attach to our caregivers, have also proven to be an indicator of how we now experience our close adult relationships; especially romantic ones. 
In this book, I will be focusing on the Dismissive Avoidant Attachment Style, and how this style of attachment now dictates how this individual interacts with their significant others in romantic relationships. 
Attachment styles affect every type of relationship, however, the effects are further magnified in romantic relationships, because of the lack of emotional intelligence and depth, this attachment style is challenged with. 
In this book, you will learn how to identify the dismissive avoidant attachment style individual, some of the challenges they face in their relationships, and finally, given you some tools (exercises) to help move you toward a more secure way of experiencing relationships.

Michele PW (Pariza Wacek)

The book that started a movement!
Part of the highly acclaimed Love-Based Business series that has been featured on numerous media outlets including Forbes, CBS and NPR.
Do you hate the way sales and marketing copy makes you feel? Sales-y? Inauthentic? Hype-y? Just plain icky? You're not alone ... and there's a reason you feel that way. It's because traditional sales and marketing copy (also known as direct response copy) sells by tapping into fear.
But you don't have to use fear – you can sell and market your business using love instead. And when you do that, you stop manipulating and twisting arms to get buyers, and instead start attracting, inspiring and inviting your ideal clients into your business.
Ahhh -- doesn't that sound wonderful?
In this book, love-based copywriting and marketing expert Michele PW (Pariza Wacek) teaches you the philosophy and the foundational principles behind selling with love versus fear – the same proven principles she's used to help her clients sell nearly $50 Million worth of products and services. Plus, she includes dozens of exercises so you too can easily implement love-based copy in your own business.
Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or business owner or just starting out, you'll discover valuable tips and strategies around selling and marketing with love. And not only will you feel great about it, so will your ideal clients.
