In this powerful podcast, our guest “Autumn”, speaks about the homeless population. With winter weather here and the holiday season approaching, this message is relevant and much needed! Autumn speaks about how mainstream culture often labels the homeless as “lazy or crazy”. She drives home the point that “We all need each other” in a world that frequently silos and separates. She leaves the audience with tangible ways in which we can help those who need to be supported, encouraged and loved on.

We loved our conversation with Tonya Kron, a Multi-Systemic Therapist (MST) at North Range Behavioral Health.

She helps the entire family system create a home environment that is peaceful again. In this podcast, Tonya gives relevant tips for parents in establishing boundaries with love. When she is not at work, Tonya loves to play with her dog, paint, and has an obsession with football!

In this podcast, we welcome our favorite person on the planet, Hunter! We discuss the trauma and the beauty that is passed from one generation to the next and the responsibility we all have in talking about it, acknowledging it and making decisions about what we will pass along. In this authentic conversation, all 3 generations talk about how they moved past what they were taught and decided Which Way? they would move forward. What this family hopes to show is that despite transgressions, mess-ups and blunders, when there is love, the rest falls into place.

Hunter is co-owner of Beyond Blue Media (BeyondBlueMedia.com) and co-leads the “After Party”, a college ministry that meets on Monday evenings at 7:00pm at Everyday Joes in Fort Collins. He is soon to be married and looks forward to the day when he can be a father and help the family legacy move onward and upward.

Join us for a discussion about homelessness in Larimer County with Marla Hopkins and Monique Sutherland as they talk about how housing is not a “one size fits all issue”. The Homeward Alliance was born out of the Homeward 2020 initiative, an initiative that committed to ensuring homelessness in Larimer County becomes rare, short lived and nonrecurring. Marla and Monique point out that homeless clients are humans, whose day to day job is their survival! They provide data, resources and ways to help.

Marla and Monique are passionate about the relevant and much needed work they do for our community and can be reached at:
