There’s no such thing as too much teamwork.

Introducing Community Health Network MD Anderson Cancer Center. A partnership that brings all the experience and treatment protocols of one of the country’s top cancer centers to Indiana.

A hallmark of our approach is multidisciplinary care. It means you’ll have a care team made up of specialists and subspecialists, each with expert knowledge in your specific type of cancer working together. There’s no better way to put together a treatment plan, and there’s no other place to get this level of care in the region.

Now, more than ever, we want you to remember that when you’re part of a community, you’re never alone.

Let’s start the journey together at eCommunity.com/cancer

The Mustard Seed of Central Indiana, located at 10080 East 121st Street, Suite 152 in Fishers, is a non-profit furniture bank that collaborates with local agencies to provide furniture to families and individuals in need. The organization relies on donations to provide gently used basic household furniture and items. Families coming out of homeless situations or shelters are aided in furnishing a whole apartment or small home with kitchen dish and cooking ware, bedroom sets, dining sets, and living room

“Whensets.

an agency re-homes a family, that’s just the beginning,” says Mary Gould,

Business Director. “It’s furniture that makes a house a home. If the very basic needs of household items are there, then individuals are able to move forward and can focus on their jobs and family.

“We store all of our donations in a warehouse and our box truck and can be seen all over town picking up and dropping off donations,” she adds. “We are constantly in need of all manner of furniture donations and monetary donations.”

It is not a nationwide organization, but there are three Mustard Seed organizations in the country. The original one exists in Orlando and was started in the late 1980s. Indiana real estate developer Chuck McNulty liked the model and felt it would be a way to give

There are two ways to donate items to Mustard Seed. A drop off time or a pick-up time can be scheduled on the organization’s website or by calling. Furniture pick-up is available in Marion and all surrounding counties. Donated household items and furniture immediately go out to families within

“There is such a need that we never have enough,” Carlin-Kolodziej says. “We take the things people don’t need and give them to people who do. No other organization except us will take mattresses that are in good condition and are not stained. We are always happy to have volunteers and we always accept new partnerships with agencies who are interested in helping the community by helping people re-home.”

“We believe everyone deserves a chance and that providing a family or individual with the basic necessities of a furnished space to call ‘home’ can produce dignity and a sense of security,” Gould says. “With this new sense of security and pride, our hope is that our clients will go out into the world with one less thing to worry about as they work towards progress.”

“Everybody has different goals when going to the gym,” says Phil Stockton, the owner of Stockton Training Grounds. “Everyone has a different idea of what they want to achieve when they get here.”

Stockton Training Grounds is a boutique gym located in Carmel that focuses on attaining and sustaining the progress its

members make at the gym. Stockton explains that the gym concentrates on education, creating a plan, and improving minds and bodies.

Stockton has been in the personal training industry for more than 15 years. He saw an opportunity to create a community in Carmel, so in 2020 he took over the gym and created Stockton Training Grounds in order to continue his goal of transforming his members to be the best they can be.

1423 Chase Court Carmel,

Stockton trains about 20 to 30 clients himself, and he has three additional trainers who have clients as well. He starts his process with a one-on-one conversation with new clients. He evaluates their goals as well as what they desire to get out of their program. He then explains their options for workout plans and pairs them with himself or one of his trainers. Workouts include personal fitness training, boot-camp classes, nutrition coaching, online coaching and more.

“Our clients and our trainers are all around each other all the time,” Stockton says. “It’s a close-knit community. We all get along and it’s a family here.”

All clients start at a baseline workout. This allows the trainer to see what their client is capable of, determine how to reach the goal, and develop a specific workout based on that. The Stockton Training Grounds team knows that not all bodies are the same, and Stockton explains that the gym focuses on

applying workouts that are designed and intentional for the individual, not just a general Stocktonworkout.sayshis

favorite part is watching the success of his members. “The best part is it’s a contagious and encouraging environment,” he says. “There are no comparisons, no competitive egos - just genuine encouragement and care for each other as members and friends.”

The Allies Mentorship Program

is the largest program of Allies, Inc, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting survivors of sexual trafficking through awareness, prevention education, and connection. Since 2016, young women aged 12 through 24 referred by the Department of Child Services have been matched up with highly trained mentors. The initiative grew out of a desire not just to raise awareness of human trafficking, but also to empower those who have experienced it.

“The organization became a 501(c)(3) corporation in 2011, but it has existed since 2008 when Founder Jessica Evans learned about sexual trafficking through her church and overseas mission work,” says Audrey Hood, Allies mentorship director. “At the time she was a teacher and saw the brokenness that can occur in families. She began to raise awareness by organizing a car wash and concert, with money going to a national organization. By 2010 she felt a need to help survivors living in Indianapolis and applied for nonprofit status.”

“By 2014 staff was going into facilities with

high-risk youth and teaching a 10-week program called ‘My Life My Choice,’” Hood continues. “During the course, relationships were built, but there was no way to continue to connect after the period ended. The idea of a mentorship program began, and by 2016 mentee and mentor matches were

Accordingmade.”

to Hood, the number of matches has reached 70. Mentors go through a 12week training program that consists of both on-site and online modules. All mentors are volunteers and they receive education on aspects that, for most, are foreign to the world they are used to. Topics covered include human trafficking, how trauma affects the brain, understanding other views of the world, recognizing that people hold different values, relationship building, and the Allies Mentorship Program in general.

“We ask our mentors to commit to one year,” Hood says. “These girls might change living situations five or six times in a year by changing facilities, foster-care locations, or returning to their family. Each time they move, their team changes. They get different counselors and therapists. But the one thing

that stays the same in a year is their mentor. We hope the relationship continues beyond a year, and we encourage the mentor and mentee to become friends or like family.”

It is suggested that mentors and mentees meet in person at least two times per month. On off-weeks, contact can be made through texting, letters and phone calls. Pairs do a bit of everything from swinging in a park and having milkshakes to attending a farmers market. Some spend time doing volunteer activities, or filling out job or apartment applications together. Hood cautions that youths are harmed when commitments fail. Mentors are encouraged not to give up, even if a mentee does not return calls or texts. People who are flexible and coachable, like to have a good time, and don’t take things personally are optimal for the job.

“We encourage them to do things that are free, and for the mentor not to spend money,” Hood says. “The focus should be on developing a relationship, not providing. One pair needed something to do on a rainy day and ended up walking around a home-building store. They picked out things for a dream home such as the front

includes a team of five fulltime employees with some contract staff. The rest are all volunteers. Although a small portion of money comes from some grants and foundations, most funding comes from private donors.

“These girls don’t look how you would expect them to,” Hood says. “They are just kids. We are introducing them to a different world of opportunity. Trauma that happens in a relationship has to be healed within a relationship, and over a lifetime of interactions. Be that one person for someone.”

A recent online review described The Modern Collective, a new boutique hair salon located in Carmel and owned by Gabrielle McDougle, as a “pretty space with a light and airy ambience.”

And that was exactly McDougle’s vision when she opened the doors to The Modern Collective in the spring of 2020.

Most business comes from word of mouth or via Instagram, where you can see many of their finished hair work as well as the

modern space, with comfortable chairs and light streaming in through French doors.

“We wanted to create a small, luxurious, comfortable atmosphere for our guests,” McDougle says. “Our aesthetic is bright, white and McDougle,modern.”30,says

her hair, and her confidence, she spent her first check from her job at Steak ’n Shake on color and clips from Sally Beauty.

This type of hair treatment was “not a big field at the time, but gives people a ton of confidence,” McDougle says. “I wanted people to feel good about themselves.”

She went on to hone her skills by training at Honors Beauty College, and has spent the last 11 years in the hair industry. While she lives in Indianapolis, she grew up in Noblesville and was excited about opening The Modern Collective so close to her

familiar hometown.

including McDougle, along with two assistants, strictly specialize in women’s extensions and color, in order to “give 100% of attention to doing one thing well,” McDougle says.

“We love to help people with hair insecurities, whether the hair is damaged from color, stress or hair loss following birth,” she says. “We love to see the light in their eyes after they see themselves. Hair gives confidence and after we’re done, we’re always saying hair gives us a new quality. We custom color each individual to create a perfect blend and match to your natural hair. The amazing thing about hand-tied hair is you can completely customize along the way.”

McDougle says the salon, which independently rents its chairs, has a staff that truly believes in education. In fact, across all the stylists, there are a combined eight certifications in different hand-tied extension methods. Training in-house is a requirement for customer coloring and extensions. Outside education is completed four to five times per year.

“I have always been an inclusive person and I’m the only owner,” McDougle says. “I handpick who rents our chair. I may own the business, but we help each other. We show tips and tricks for each other, so we can teach, help and progress as a team, even though we’re individuals. We leave negativity outside and have a positive work environment.”

Depending on the look, a client may request for rows or color, and they can expect to spend between two to six hours at the salon.

“I think what’s unique about us is that we believe in utilizing more than one application method across the board, as each client has different needs,” McDougle says. “The amazing thing is your hair can actually grow and become healthier with hand-tied extensions. It does take two though, both the stylist applying as well as client maintenance at home. We always set you up with success, with a care sheet and products to protect your new investment.”

The Modern Collective accepts appointments only, and can be found at 23 East Main Street, Suite 300 in Carmel. For more information, orthemoderncollectivesalon@gmail.com,emailcallortext317-975-0922.

In 1959, current President Greg Hill’s father, Gene Hill, started working for the company. By around 1963, Clark Brothers passed away and his wife, Ina Brothers, took over the company, partnering with Gene.

Greg’s son, Andrew Hill, is the company’s sales manager. While Chuck McKeny isn’t a family member, he’s worked with the company for more than 40 years as an estimator.

Brittney Mickens, a busy mother of two and college student who works in human resources management, has never met a mess she wasn’t compelled to tackle. Decluttering spaces and making sense out of utter chaos is what Mickens does best. It’s a skill that has always come naturally to her.

“I’ve always been an organized person,” says

Mickens, who decided in December of 2020 to use her skills to help others by opening a business called Organize Your Life. “I feel like when you’re organized, that makes life better. If things are intact, life is less stressful and that narrows down the anxiety.”

The idea came to her one day when she was helping her sister organize a space. It dawned on her that a lot of people struggle with disarray in their lives, not so much because they are lazy or unmotivated,

but because they are overwhelmed and overtired. Often people see a messy room and throw up their hands, not knowing where to start.

The problem is that living with clutter can lead to depression and anxiety. According to Psychology Today, research shows that clutter can disrupt mental health. Susan Krauss Whitbourne, Ph.D., writes, “A collection of recent studies on stress, life satisfaction, physical health and cognition DECLUTTEROF HELPS ORGANIZE YOUR LIFE

Brittney Mickens has never met a mess she can’t tackle.

all speak to the value of streamlining.”

So it seems that Mickens’ services can help to not only improve the looks of a physical space, but also the inner workings of one’s mind. Mickens, who works with both residential and commercial clients, initially meets with people to learn what area they would like her to focus her efforts on. For homeowners, this often includes their closets, kitchen cabinets and children’s bedrooms. Commercial clients’ needs vary. For instance, she is currently working with staff members at a doctor’s office who have hired her to transition all of their paper charts to electronic files.

Some clients retain her on an ongoing basis, while others recruit her for a onetime service. For continuing clients, she returns quarterly to assess the situation and see if everything is still in order. If it’s not, she puts a system in place for order to be “Ongoingrestored.iswhat I love to do,” she says. “It’s one thing to get someone organized. It’s something else to keep the organization going.”

Mickens is empathetic to the challenges people face with keeping a space organized. She understands that life is tough, schedules are busy and that we only have a finite amount of energy in a

day. That’s precisely where she comes in.

“I have a lot of clients who are on edge the first time I go into their homes because they really don’t want anybody to see what they have created,” she says. “I set their mind at peace by letting them know that I’m there to help them - that we are going to get a process in place and stick to it.”

Mickens has a 5-year-old daughter and 7-year-old son, both of whom have inherited their mom’s organizing gene.

“They really like to straighten their rooms, shoes and clothes,” says Mickens, whose best piece of advice for those who are overwhelmed by a project is to set aside just 30 minutes a day and dive in.

“Know that at the end of the tunnel, you will see light,” she says. “If you take it piece by piece, you’ll be able to set your mind free. Staying self-motivated is the main thing.”

Once Mickens has worked her magic, her clients typically feel a huge degree of relief. They tell her that she has not only changed their life, but also the lives of everyone else in the house. Others express appreciation when she finds an item that perhaps they haven’t laid eyes on in years.

“I love seeing the joy on their faces,” Mickens says. “I feel great changing their lives for the better.”

Great things happen every day, all around us in our communities. Jeanne Britt and her husband Tom recognized that, so in 2004 they started Britt Interactive, LLC, which led to Towne Post Network, Inc,. wherein with their franchisees and staff they publish monthly community magazines that spotlight all things local.

“Connecting people and businesses in the community is a source of pride for us,” Jeanne says. “It’s our hope to bring a publication to readers’ coffee tables that is as enjoyable to read as it is filled with positive information showcasing all that makes each community great.”

The Britts initially operated their business out of a spare bedroom, with Tom focusing on sales, Jeanne managing the finances, and their small children folding and sealing the newsletters as they were back then - just six pages. As the company started to grow, the pair saw the potential for this model to work in other communities. Therefore, in 2015 they converted Towne Post to a franchise system. To date, they have 18 publications and 10 franchisees (some publishers own multiple territories).

“It’s been exciting,” says Jeanne, who has been working in the accounting side of the publishing industry for more than 25 years. “It was our hope to put out a publication that readers loved and held onto - not one they pitched into the recycling bin on their way from the mailbox through the garage.”

As president of Towne Post, Jeanne’s duties are numerous. She considers supporting Tom in business strategy, developing efficient processes, and the management and reporting of network franchise finances to be the foundation of her daily role. “The franchisees’ individual successes, as well the success of our network, is our top priority,” she says.

Though Jeanne considers herself to be a bit of an introvert, being part of the Towne Post team has helped to coax her out of her shell. As a result, she has been involved with a number of community events such as co-founding Vines for Life to benefit local cancer charities in Geist, and working with the Geist Half Marathon organizers in its early days.

Through the years, Jeanne has taken part in women-owned business groups, and has found that many women

agree that the primary challenge most women face is striking a healthy worklife balance. “I love being a part of a community of women supporting one another,” she says. “I’m in awe of women business owners who do it all on their own. Balance seems to be the one thing that I’m consistently pursuing, and not just because I’m an accounting person.”

She resolves to place some focus each day on the areas of life that are most important to her, which include health, family, spirituality, creative development and socializing. Jeanne, an avid reader, is part of a neighborhood book club and has just become a Little Free Library steward, installing a book exchange in her front yard. She also loves painting and mosaic art, travel, yoga, and walking her dog, River.

“Over the past 18 years, this journey has given Tom and I the opportunity to work beside each other and with our family in our community, taught us the value of teamwork, brought us new friends, and taught us many valuable life lessons,” Jeanne says. “Mostly, however, it’s given us a tremendous sense of joy and gratitude.”

“Connecting people and businesses in the community is a source of pride for us.”

Esther Lakes retired last year but felt compelled to do something worthwhile with her time. She and her husband O’Dell are the former owners of Smith’s Jewelers in downtown Noblesville. Lakes had been considering planning and organizing an art event to benefit the Hamilton County community. With a gentle nudge from friends, she decided the time was right and got busy creating Spotlight on Art.

“I attended an event when I was in Atlanta that inspired me,” Lakes says. “It was a large fundraising event showcasing local art and artists. Afterward, I thought it would be a wonderful way to raise money in Hamilton County for various organizations.”

Spotlight on Art benefits children

through Prevail, the Boys & Girls Club of Noblesville, and the Children’s TherAplay Foundation. The open-house-style event is presented by Smith’s Jewelers, and will take place on November 10 at Hotel Carmichael in Carmel. Lakes utilized her connections to find participating artists in various mediums including painting, textile, jewelry, woodworking and children’s artwork.

“My friend is an artist and she reached out to other artists in central Indiana,” Lakes says. “They were all happy to participate. They’re all award-winning, juried artists. Guests will have the opportunity to peruse and purchase artwork to benefit local children in the beautiful Hotel Carmichael setting.”

Individual tickets are $50 and include entry to the event, wine, champagne and hors d’oeuvres. Lakes says the funds from the event will go directly to children’s programs at each of the three organizations. There will also be a booth of artwork created by children attending three different elementary schools in Hamilton County.

“I know it sounds clichéd to say, but children are the future and we need to invest in them,” Lakes says. “It’s imperative to me to help those who face challenges in their young lives. I’ve been talking about doing this for the last three years. My friends finally told me just to do it. They’ve been a wonderful help in planning too.”

Lakes says Hotel Carmichael exudes elegance and ambiance. She says it was

an easy decision to hold her premier philanthropy event at the beautiful new hotel. She says she’s not talented in art in any way, but does appreciate the art world. She says Carmel has a well-planned focus on “It’sart.taken

a large committee of wonderfully talented people and a year of planning to pull off,” Lakes says. “I know it’s going to be a spectacular event and I’d love to expand it in the future.”

She says with a bit of support from many people, helping to enrich the lives of a diverse groups of kids, it’s possible to make many dreams come true. She hopes other Hamilton County residents share her vision.

Artists include Beth Forst, Randall Scott Harden, Rena Brouwer, Deonna Craig, Steve Haight, Gabriel Lehman, Pam Newell, J. Rodney Reveal, Beth Clary Schwier, April Willy, Sylvia Gray, Kathy Saucier, Jill Duzan, Mark Lisota and Gino Johnson.

Lakes serves as chairman and founder of Spotlight on Art. She is also on several boards, all of which focus on supporting children, whether they suffer from sexual and domestic violence or a disability, or simply need homework help and a hot meal.
