How do we build a community that surrounds us with the message of love? On this episode of Healing Ties, we visit with Jeff Johnson from the Love Not Fear Movement to discuss how shifting cultural bias from fear to love builds trust, reshapes our communication process while providing healthy outcomes for everyone. Tune in and learn how Jeff Johnson and the Love Not Fear Movement is creating Healing Ties all around us!

You Might Know Me As The Bow Tie Guy - "Wearing a bow tie is like wearing two smiles."

When people ask me, "why did you create the Whole Care Network"... I always come back to our caregiving experience and how fortunate I was to find resources that helped me and my partner Richard Schiffer manage our caregiving journey. Every caregiver has a story; through our stories, we find validation, resources, and respite to help manage our caregiving day.

We were fortunate to have our story chronicled in a 2015 Pulitzer Prize-nominated 3-part story, “In Sickness and In Health: A Couple’s Final Journey,” which told our journey of caregiving. The story told of the challenges LGBT partners have in dealing with the medical and legal system, but it also told of the love and joy my partner Richard's last years had on our relationship.
