Gene Baur is the founder of Farm Sanctuary, a place of rescue, refuge, and adoption for hundreds of farm animals each year. Farm Sanctuary shelters enable visitors to connect with farm animals as emotional, intelligent individuals. Gene has also led campaigns to change laws about animal treatment and taken undercover photographs of farms, stockyards, and slaughterhouses, documenting deplorable conditions. His pictures and videos exposing factory farming cruelties have aired nationally and internationally, educating millions about the plight of modern farm animals, and his rescue work inspired an international farm sanctuary movement. Once called “the conscience of the food movement” by Time magazine, Gene walks the walk and talks the talk when it comes to food and animal rights. Jay and Gene discuss the political and cultural steps that will bring about the end of factory farming and a healthier approach to animals and food.

Gwenda and her mother were very very close but unfortunately her mother died way too early.

In spite of her parents, Gwenda became a Catholic. She fell in love with Stephen's father who was Italian and catholic.Well he had already abandoned the Catholic church by the time they met, but she was certain she could convince this enthusiastic atheist to come back to the church. And she was a success on both fronts.

Stephen did not enjoy his experience being raised in the Catholic church and schools. As a young boy Stephen struggles with anxiety, stealing from local vendors, fights and more.

Gwenda was a storyteller and that's one of manny gifts she gave to Stephen. Years later when Stephen was teaching Mindfulness lessons she came to some of his teachings.

Stephen left home in order to find himself. This journey had experiences of exploring Catholicism, Marxism, drugs, Buddhism, Mindfulness, compassion and more.

Years later while raising her children, Gwenda used the expression "never mind" when Stephen would come to her hurt or upset. She was say "never mind" and offer a smile and have them move on. Stephen was looking for more than that from his mother.

My guest trained as a Buddhist Monk in the Tibetan tradition for eight years. To this day he still uses and teaches his practice and he enjoys applying his practice to real life situations and can help others without them knowing it's a Buddhist technique.

I was looking for something but more importantly I was leaving behind stuff, everything," Stephen explains. Stephen asked his mother years later, why she hadn't protected him more from his father when he was younger . "She was angry at me for asking that, she was angry at herself. She thought she'd done what she could. She was protecting herself as well."

After reading Stephan's first draft of his book, "The Novice, Why I Became a Buddhist Monk", Gwenda said "Don't you think it would have been nice if we'd listened to you a little more when you were young?" Stephen got very emotional. Their relationship changed so much for the better after that. She was acknowledging that they could have done more. That was what I wanted to hear.

Gwenda had a big heart.

Bio:

Stephen has a fascinating story that could offer a unique perspective. His journey, shaped by both his mother and his unconventional upbringing, has deeply influenced his life and work. Growing up in a challenging environment, Stephen learned lessons from his family and from overcoming obstacles, which he now shares through his coaching and mindfulness framework. His story isn’t just about overcoming adversity but also about the lessons learned along the way, including how his relationship with his family, especially his mother, shaped his journey to becoming a Buddhist monk and later a TEDx speaker.

I believe his experiences of both struggling with and learning from his upbringing would provide a heartfelt and insightful conversation for your listeners, touching on themes of resilience, personal growth, and how those early life lessons shaped the person he is today.

“A WOMAN WHO NOT ONLY SURVIVED BUT THRIVED“ with Guest Author, Dr. Gertrude Lyons. 29:47

18 days ago29:47

29:47

Dorothy was the eldest of two children. Her younger brother was well taken care of and able to continue on to higher education, mainly because he was male and in that era, women didn't really pursue higher education because culturally, that wasn't the norm. Women's place was in the home and raising the children. One of the many things that my guest admired about her mother was that she opened up her own Children's Clothing store. Gertrude loved seeing her mom running a business that she was truly good at and enjoyed. Gertrude loved seeing a different side of her mother's personality, outside the home vs inside the home. Unfortunately, the store only lasted so long because of Gertrude's father's wishes. Yes, he was supportive but only up to a certain point. He also gave Dorothy an ultimatum and Dorothy agreed and made some very difficult choices that very same day and never broke her promise. The couple did not have a particularly close relationship. Gertrude's dad worked and provided for the family and the two remained married for 27 years. You will hear Gertrude share stories of the secrets her mother kept her entire life. Gertrude is so impressed and bewildered by her mother's ability to keep all of these compelling stories to herself and still be a mother, raise her children, run her own business and then continue on with another career working as an office secretary for the railroad in Detroit. One of the many wonderful philosophies my guest believes in is that she believes that she chose her mother for "my soul's development." In other words, she continues, "my soul had reasoning and she was the perfect mother for me. We are together for a reason, admits Dr. Lyons. Gertrude also shares stories of the process of writing her book as well as being brave when coming to choosing the title of her book, etc. About The Book In Rewrite the Mother Code, Dr. Gertrude Lyons challenges the limiting beliefs and expands the concepts around what it is to be a mother. Through the pages of this book, Lyons blurs the lines that pigeonhole women into limited roles that ultimately disempower them. Rather than operating within a narrow conception of what mothering is, she invites readers to open themselves up to what is possible and see the truth: that all women mother, and that mother energy is accessible to all of us-including men. Rewrite the Mother Code is a celebration of motherhood, bringing spirituality and community back into the experience and empowering women to be what they truly are, the ultimate creators. What it would be like if it was a commonly held tradition for the wise women in our Western culture to support women through the mothering process? What if children were raised by the community and not the isolated responsibility of one or two caregivers? What if all women were united as mothers and gave their full support to each other’s mothering choices? Rewrite the Mother Code not only envisions this world of conscious conception, pregnancy, and motherhood, but it also takes the reader into a movement that fulfills the ideals of a matriarchal-led mothering experience. These ideals can open the doors for women to not only take part in the abundance of the world, but also make sure everyone else experiences it. Rewrite the Mother Code explores a world in which mothers feel valued and intrinsically aware that fostering their well-being is the keystone for conscious and harmonious living on earth—a world where there are enough resources for everyone, all life is valued, and decisions are made with everyone's best interests in mind, not just a few. It's a world where mothers are revered for their abilities to create (even ones without their own children, who journey through motherhood in many creative ways), a place where we can tap into our intuition and truly follow it. Rewrite the Mother Code blurs the lines that pigeonhole women into limited roles that ultimately disempower them. Rather than operating with a narrow conception of what mothering is, it invites you to open yourself up to what is possible when you realize that all women mother, and that mother energy is accessible to all of us—including men. In Rewrite the Mother Code , Dr. Gertrude Lyons shares her vast expertise, using her doctoral degree in education, combined with her degrees in psychology, transformational leadership, and her two decades as a coach for families, couples, and individuals. She has traveled the world and had spiritual experiences across the globe, which she brings into her work and writing. Each chapter of Rewrite the Mother Code has thoughtfully tailored reflections, meditations, and rituals to help women get in touch with their innate mother wisdom and strength. This book is a ceremony and celebration of all forms of motherhood, one that collectively births a new revolution of empowered and embodied living.

“Andy Warhol’s Mother, The Woman Behind The Artist” with Guest Professor and Author, Elaine Rusinko 24:52

25 days ago24:52

24:52

This is the story of a small Carpatho-Rusyn woman, who became know as Andy Warhol's mother. Ulia Zavacka ( pronounced Zavatski), was one of a very large farming family whose homeland today is in the North Eastern Slovakia. Today the general Rusyn population stretches across what is five European countries, including Ukraine, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary and Poland. Officials say that at the turn of the 20th century, approximately 250,000 Ruthenians, as they were known to US Immigration officials, emigrated to America where they worked in coal mines and steel mills of the northeast. Many settled in the Pittsburg. PA area. Rusyns spoke east slavic dialects that used the Cyrillic alphabet. Elaine and I spoke a lot about the similarities of both women. Julia followed her husband to America eventually having three sons and not speaking much English. Nancy, Elaine's mother, had a huge advantage and was born in the United States and spoke two languages at a young age. Both women had Carpatho-Rusyn backgrounds. It was a tough time to raise a family especially in the Pittsburgh area yet Andy's father was a good business man and was able to put some money away for Andy to go to college. Elaine shares stories of her mother moving to New York City at age of thirteen in order to help her family financially as a housekeeper/nanny/servant, as you'll hear Elaine tell the story. By moving to NYC, Nancy met her future husband who has a similar background as she. Keep in mind, that making money to help the family put food on the table was way more important than any kind of education. Nancy eventually married a coal miner from Pennsylvania and fellow Rusyn which was comforting to her. Both of these families had lingering effects of being immigrants and children of immigrants. Of parents parenting similarly as to how they had been parented. They had a lot to overcome and it can take decades if not generations to assimilate. Elaine's academic studies where shocking to her parents. They couldn't really understand why she continued with higher education because that was very foreign to both of them. And course, Andy went to what's now known as Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and completed a Bachelor of Fine Art Degree in 1949. Julia was an artist of her own right. She was very creative especially when she was younger and in her home country. So much of her artistic talent influenced Andy and they worked closely together on projects for many years as she lived in Manhattan with Andy for almost twenty years. Julia was featured in his artistic projects with his coworkers on a regular basis. https://www.warhol.org/andy-warhols-life/ SHLTMM YOUTUBE CHANNEL LINK:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_BmWJpLNvA Elaine Rusinko INSTAGRAM: rusinko17 Other Carpatho-Rusyn Related Social Media: FB: Carpatho-Rusyns Everywhere, The Lost Warhols by Karen Bystedt, Carpatho-Rusyn Society, Carpatho-Rusyn Society’s Heritage Radio Program, Carpatho-Rusyn Research Center, The Andy Warhol Museum, rusyn.sk/Rusini Slovenska IG: rusinko17, warholfoundation, carpathorusynsociety_, rusynart, carpatho_rusyns_of_pa, thewarholmuseum For more information about Elaine Rusinko and her Book "Andy Warhol's Mother, The Woman Behind the Artist, contact Lesley Rains at "The Pittsburgh University Press Email: LRAINS@upress.pitt.edu "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

She Demands a lot From Those Closest To Her with Guest Career Coach And Counselor Sophee Payne. Looking Back at S3E13 27:40

Deborah, Sophee's mother, "is in her own world and she's happy there and I come in and out of that world and that's ok," continues Payne who's never felt that she's had to live near to her parents. Payne is comfortable saying, "I care for them deeply, I just feel that closeness to them is not a priority." A Florida native, now living in Vancouver, CA, Sophee is happily ensconced in her full time career, helping other's fulfill their dreams. After six years, getting straight A's and doing all that she was 'supposed to do,' completing her bachelors degree and getting a Master's Degree in Industrial Design, she realized that she wasn't happy. My guest loved the design work but really missed the one one one interaction with people. After watching her mother struggle in an attempt to start her own business and fail, Sophee felt so much 'self doubt' that she never thought she'd be capable of starting her own. Again, interesting dynamics between the two women often got in the way. Payne feels that her mom likes having people around so they can do things for her that she doesn't necessarily like to do. "She demands a lot from the people closest to her," admits Sophee. "I think of her as a sun, even from a distance I can feel this warmth, she gives direction, but at the same time, the closer you get the more uncomfortably warm you get and also the more you're kind of forced to evolve around her," reflects Payne. Sophee is comfortable saying what works for her now regarding her relationship with her mom. It's about "showing my mom compassion, compassion with boundaries."

Proud And Passionate About Her Nursing Profession With Guest Chef Dennis Littley. Looking Back at S3E17 33:18

7 weeks ago33:18

33:18

Eunice was a confident hard working woman, that loved God, her country and her family. She was proud of her accomplishments and rightfully so. Chef Dennis is a successful classically trained chef, now retired and a very popular travel and food blogger. He prefers to cook for others rather than cook a meal for himself. His grandmother taught him a lot about food and cooking and she passed down "the joy of cooking." And now Dennis is sharing the 'joy of it' with all of his readers. You can find out more at https://www.askchefdennis.com/ Dennis's maternal grandparents were originally from Mexico and both were highly educated. His grandmother was a teacher and his grandfather a minister. Eunice and her nine siblings were also all educated starting at a young age. All the children were born and raised in Texas and bilingual from an early age. Littley says of his mother's family "they were an all American family-all my uncles served in the Armed Forces and an uncle was at Pearl Harbor." Because Eunice was always studying and/or working, she never really had too much time to cook. She often worked nights so she could be home to see Dennis before and after school. Chef Dennis says that his mom, who he adored dearly, "influenced him and his love for cooking in an offhanded way." "Her lack of cooking skills and my love of food and her encouragement really helped push me in the right direction. She was the reason I really started cooking and went int this field." says Littley. Dennis loved to cook for his mom and says "I was never pressured into being a doctor or lawyer, my mother just wanted me to be happy." But he took care of his mom as well. At a young age, he would collect recyclable bottles and cans, ride his bike to the supermarket and buy food with the money he made to cook for his mom because she didn't have time to cook for herself. Dennis agrees that he gave his parents a hard time, a bit rambunctious, but he was named after the 'Dennis the Menace' tv character, after all. My guest, got his first full time job at 12 years old and became manager of a burger place, flipping burgers at 13 in Atlantic City, New Jersey right on the ocean. When asked what meal he'd cook for his mom if she were here today, Dennis reminisces about the rice, pepper, onion, bacon and cheddar cheese casserole his mom and he loved to eat till the dish was empty and everyone was happy. Later on in life, once Eunice had retired from nursing, she was able to embrace her time in the kitchen with her friends and found the ‘joy of cooking’. "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives. Jackie's guests are open and honest and answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more. You'll be amazed at what the responses are.

My Mother's Ten Commandments with Guest Best Selling Author Marc Gellman 30:07

Though Dorothy was somewhat opinionated, she truly had a big heart. During my conversation with Marc, he shares story after story that had us laughing but Dorothy was the kind of woman who liked things done her way and it was best for everyone that you kept that in mind. She loved keeping a clean house. It was duly important that her sons did well in school but what was clearly obvious was how much she loved her family. Dinners together every night was a must. Everyone had to share what happened during their day and what they had learned. Marc has a number of very funny stories of his mother but what really rings true to me is that Dorothy had a huge heart. There's one story in particular that you'll hear my guest share that's heartbreaking yet so indicative of what kind of person Dorothy was and how she was constantly teaching her two sons life lessons. "Seven Days of Shiva:Forty-Six Years of Puppy Love," has put Marc on the Amazon Best Selling Author list. It's the heartwarming and heartbreaking story of he and the love of his life, Barbara. Our conversation will have you laughing and in tears, but it's powerful messages are worth every every second. My mother began to list her “commandments” for being a good husband. Number 1: As a husband, you should learn to keep your mouth shut. Number 2: Your wife should be in charge of running the household. Number 3: It’s not your place to plan the dinner meals. Your wife should plan that, and you should be happy with it. Number 4: Your wife should be in charge of the checking account. Number 5: Your wife should be in charge of paying the bills. Number 6: You should not cash your paycheck on the way home. Bring your check home, uncashed. Number 7: You should turn down invitations from your friends at work to go out after work. Number 8: You should go directly home after work to your wife. Number 9: You shouldn’t concern yourself with what other people have. Number 10: You should be satisfied with what you and your wife have. "When my mother was finished with her list, she said, “So, you understand what I’m saying?” “Yes,” Marc responded.

When Feeling Most Vulnerable, My Mom Was a Gift with Guest West African Journalist Chisom Peter Job. Looking Back at S3E16 21:21

9 weeks ago21:21

Life sometimes has a funny way of turning out. Sometimes a dire situation presents itself and the outcome is much better than we could have ever imagined. In this particular case, it took a mother to show her true love, courage and support and possibly willingly risk jail time to prove to her son that she loved him with her whole heart. While convalescing at home, Chisom finally was courageous enough to come out to his loving parents. Bedridden and home bound after his initial collapse, he was convinced it was time to open up to his parents about his sexuality. At a most vulnerable time in his life, he was scared and nervous about telling his parents the truth, that he was gay. He was certain that both his parents loved him unconditionally but was afraid this was going to be too much for them. "Knowing that my parents loved me so much, made it that much easier to come out to them and be open with them," added Chisom. His mother's response was " I know, I've always known," says my guest. On a grander scale, writing a personal essay about being a member of the LGBTQ community and having his story published in the NY Times Modern Love Column was frighting. Possibly the whole world could read it and find out the truth, that Chisom was a member of the gay community. Chisom's essay is an endearing story of his parent's love for their son. His mother, who's name is Gift, is exceptionally open and honest and loving of her son, regardless of his sexual preference. One can only hope, that everyone struggling with coming out to their loved ones, will receive the same openness and acceptance. Chisom's message to his mother "You are a rock star. You are a gift to me. And I love you very much. Words can't describe how much I love you and how much you mean to me. Everything I do, I do it for you. You are always there for me and you always support me. You always tell me to shoot for the stars". **In February 2021, Chisom has hired to be the Deputy Editor and Culture and Technology reporter of @Livingfree_UK. https://livingfreeuk.org/ " Living Free UK is a registered community interest company founded in 2018 out of the struggles of millions of LGBTIQ+ Africans who are still battling with their sexuality and gender identity, especially in countries where it is still illegal to live their truth and in some cases lose their lives while trying to find liberty and acceptance. Our main aim is to provide support and validate the lived experiences of LGBTIQ+ Africans, people seeking asylum, and refugees. As research shows, there are 72 countries where homosexuality is still a crime and even in the UK, LGBTIQ+ Africans experience immense difficultly when finding a safe space to express themselves freely and openly without fear of racism, afrophobia, or prejudice of any kind. Some are also unable to return home because of the danger that awaits them. **Now a budding journalist and recent nominee for a journalistic award- this is from Chisom's LinkedIn Acct. (March 2022) "Yesterday was the Future Awards Africa, and I was nominated for the journalism prize and was also the second youngest nominee in the awards. While I didn't win, I'm grateful for the opportunity to be seen. As a young journalist covering policies and minority groups in Nigeria and Sub-Saharan Africa, the work I do can be pretty dangerous, but getting nominated for this is a "stepping stone," as my ma put it. Also, I did receive a certificate of nomination, so yay!! Here is to more extraordinary things in 2022 and beyond because I am just getting started." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/10570304/Nigeria-passes-law-banning-homosexuality.html The Act to Make Provisions for the Prohibition of Relationship Between Persons of the Same Sex, Celebration of Marriage by Them, and for Other Matters Connected Therewith, also known as the Same Sex (Prohibition) Act 2006, was a controversial draft bill that was first put before the both houses of the National Assembly of Nigeria in early 2007.

"A Woman of Quiet Strength and Resilience” with Guest Business Strategist and Engineer, Sairan Aqwari 33:16

10 weeks ago33:16

33:16

Sadiqa, my guest's mother, was fifteen years old when she became a mother for the first time as part of an arranged marriage in Baghdad, Iraq in 1955. She was a wonderful mother but Sairan thought a bit too cautious which is very common for a teenager to think. Having a more conservative husband, Sadiqa loved all of her children equally and would often do anything for them. She was more lenient that her husband. My guest was one of seven children, safely nestled in the middle of the large group of children. With no formal education, she never did any professional training, she was beautiful, had a wonderful sense of humor and did everything for her children as her husband travelled frequently for business. In Sairan's mind, her mother "had seven PHD's because she raised seven wonderful children, each one unique. Unfortunately, Sadiqua died unexpectedly at fifty-eight years old and Sairan wasn't able to introduce her first child to her mother in person. Sairan is a Business Strategist and Engineer but she also is helping people unpack their hidden gem. Often, we think we are happy-working, taking care of the family, seeing friends, etc. But, Sairan, who was born in Bagdad and now an Iraqi American citizen, learned many life lessons at 26 years old when she came to the United States with her big American dreams. Today, she's a mom, entrepreneur and very successful engineer, but she's come to appreciate the belif of making and impact in the workd and that obstacles can be overcome. "Voices of Truth" is a compilation of engaging speakers sharing their stories of impact. Sairan is on the the contributing authors. As one can expect, being so far away from family, at such a young age, had it's challenges and heartbreak. And it was such an honor to hear Sairan share stories of her mother. Unfortunately, things didn't work out as planned back in 2002 but I'm grateful that Sairan felt comfortable opening up to me. My guest has launched another career where she's helping middle aged women and men take their next steps in life to figure out who they are, what they want to do with their lives and what kind of impact they want to have on the world. I received wonderful emails from Sairan including these wonderful tidbits about her mother. She wrote "my relationship with my mother has been both foundational and transformative. She was a woman of quiet strength and resilience, and while our bond wasn’t always expressed through words, her actions taught me the value of perseverance, integrity, and grace under pressure. She laid the groundwork for the woman I’ve become—both as an engineer and a business strategist—by modeling the power of showing up fully, even when the odds are stacked against you. I was drawn to your podcast because I believe these stories matter. The influence of our mothers or female role models often shapes our identity in powerful, often subtle, ways. I wanted to share insights on how that influence—especially in midlife—can become a springboard for reinvention. For many women, midlife feels like a cross roads. But with the right mindset, it can be a launch pad. That’s a message I hope will inspire your audience to reflect on their own journeys and the women who helped shape them." There are many wonderful stories that Sairan shared with me. I hope you enjoy this episode. And take a part of Saduqa with you where ever you go. SOCIAL MEDIA: LINKEDIN: Sairan Aqrawi, M.Sc.

A Little Help From Madonna with Guest LCSW-S and Founder of Austin Therapy for Girls, Shayna Barksdale 32:17

11 weeks ago32:17

32:17

Shayna is the founder of "Austin Therapy For Girls" in Austin, TX. She lives next door to her mother Kappie. My guests talk about their similarities and differences through out our conversation. And they both are very keen on helping young ladies figure out/work around all of life's stressors, especially beginning with the tween and teen years. "Pink Chaos-Navigating the Mother-Daughter Relationship with your Tween" is Shayna's book which helps mothers and daughters navigate the tween years. Shayna felt that tween girls need as much help and support as teens, but weren't getting the acknowledgement that they deserved. Tween age range is between 9-12 years of age. Both women agree that they have a special connection, unlike most mother/daughter relationships because " concern for other people connect us in a way that is different from a lot of mother's and daughters," says Kappie. "This is a value that we are sharing" continues Shayna- "always taking care of people." During her teen years, Shayna was wildly influenced by Madonna and her music. It was boldly reflected in the way she dressed and expressed herself which Kappie was happy that her daughter was expressing her self creativity. Shayna and her sister were "latch-key" kids because their mom was working full time. They kept themselves preoccupied with arts and craft projects such as Shrinky Dinks and more. When I asked Shayna if she felt her mom had any superpowers she said, "she loved and took care of all of her students, her daughters, worked long hours and still had dinner on the table almost every night." "An education is something no one can take away from you," is what Kappie's mom reinforced throughout Kappie's childhood. Kappie was getting the message very early on in life about the significance of independence, be your own person, make your own way and don't necessarily be dependent on anyone else." In Shayna's book and her practice, she offers a wealth of information that can be worked on at home between moms and daughters. It begins with the correct means of communication, doing things together that both have in common, getting to know what your daughter is truly interested, including getting to see what your daughter's algorithm on her phone is if you don't know already. One statistic that I was shocked to hear is that girls confidence plummets by age of 9! If you go to Shayna's website "PINKCHAOS.COM" you can take a short quiz to find out which on-screen mother daughter duo you are. In her book, Shayna talks about how you can teach your daughter the importance of self love, embracing self love-encourage her to speak to herself with kindness and compassion and lots more. Some topics/issues that Shayna can help parents/girls with include building resilience, effective communication, promoting self worth, supporting friendships, navigating girl world, emotional regulation calming the chaos and embracing individuality.

“It Would Have Been Nice If We Had Listen To You” with Guest Author and Former Buddhist Monk, Stephen Schettini 32:38

13 weeks ago32:38

32:38

Gwenda, short for Gwendoline, convinced her father to let her go into the circus as long as she got an official job or "booking." She did not want to get a traditional job such as working in the postal service, as her father had dreamed she'd do. Gwenda and her mother were very very close but unfortunately her mother died way too early. In spite of her parents, Gwenda became a Catholic. She fell in love with Stephen's father who was Italian and catholic.Well he had already abandoned the Catholic church by the time they met, but she was certain she could convince this enthusiastic atheist to come back to the church. And she was a success on both fronts. Stephen did not enjoy his experience being raised in the Catholic church and schools. As a young boy Stephen struggles with anxiety, stealing from local vendors, fights and more. Gwenda was a storyteller and that's one of manny gifts she gave to Stephen. Years later when Stephen was teaching Mindfulness lessons she came to some of his teachings. Stephen left home in order to find himself. This journey had experiences of exploring Catholicism, Marxism, drugs, Buddhism, Mindfulness, compassion and more. Years later while raising her children, Gwenda used the expression "never mind" when Stephen would come to her hurt or upset. She was say "never mind" and offer a smile and have them move on. Stephen was looking for more than that from his mother. My guest trained as a Buddhist Monk in the Tibetan tradition for eight years. To this day he still uses and teaches his practice and he enjoys applying his practice to real life situations and can help others without them knowing it's a Buddhist technique. I was looking for something but more importantly I was leaving behind stuff, everything," Stephen explains. Stephen asked his mother years later, why she hadn't protected him more from his father when he was younger . "She was angry at me for asking that, she was angry at herself. She thought she'd done what she could. She was protecting herself as well." After reading Stephan's first draft of his book, "The Novice, Why I Became a Buddhist Monk", Gwenda said "Don't you think it would have been nice if we'd listened to you a little more when you were young?" Stephen got very emotional. Their relationship changed so much for the better after that. She was acknowledging that they could have done more. That was what I wanted to hear. Gwenda had a big heart. Bio: Stephen has a fascinating story that could offer a unique perspective. His journey, shaped by both his mother and his unconventional upbringing, has deeply influenced his life and work. Growing up in a challenging environment, Stephen learned lessons from his family and from overcoming obstacles, which he now shares through his coaching and mindfulness framework. His story isn’t just about overcoming adversity but also about the lessons learned along the way, including how his relationship with his family, especially his mother, shaped his journey to becoming a Buddhist monk and later a TEDx speaker. I believe his experiences of both struggling with and learning from his upbringing would provide a heartfelt and insightful conversation for your listeners, touching on themes of resilience, personal growth, and how those early life lessons shaped the person he is today.

The Iron Will Of Ukrainian Women with Guest, Senior Human Resources and Technology Executive, Anya Tomko. Looking Back at S3E10 31:36

14 weeks ago31:36

31:36

The details of the 2022 Ukraine/Russia conflict change minute by minute and hour by hour. What's difficult for my guest and her 80 year old mother, Mariyka, to understand is how shocking this event is. Here we are in the 21st century, and Ukraine is under attack. Certainly not plausible, but clearly possible. What makes this all the more difficult is the fact that Anya and her mom have many relatives still in the Ukraine today. They've set up group chats on their phones to make sure that they can all stay in touch with updates regarding their safety and where-a-bouts. The rich Ukrainian culture has played a significant role in my guest's life. She attended the Ukrainian Cultural Center of NJ in Whippany, as a child growing up. She and her sibling, studied the language, traditions, history, etc. Anya also raised her own children with the same ideation that their Ukrainian culture was very important and they too had to learn and understand the significance of these traditions. In 1949, Mariyka's family was sponsored by a German family and they were able to move to the US. However, they moved to Wisconsin. They often felt isolated. There was no family close by, yet they held on to their values, language and traditions. It was vital that they remember all that they had been through and because of their beliefs and strength they survived. On the contrary, Anya's father, as a child moved directly to the lower east side of Manhattan with his family and were immersed in a rich Ukrainian culture 24/7. They had full support from their neighbors and community which helped them overcome their longing for their homeland. The same patriotism still exists today as it did long ago, when both mom and dad arrived in the United States and held utmost respect and longing for Ukraine. That's why Anya says of her relatives still in Ukraine today, "they are scared but there is not a single doubt in their minds that they need to stay. They love their country and they will fight to defend it." They large family photo is from a 2011 trip to Ukraine with her mother and children to visit part of their immediate family still living there. After working decades in Corporate America, at JP Morgan, Anya now works at a benchmarking organization helping businesses grow at The Learning Forum. Currently, she is on the Board of Directors for the Ukrainian Cultural Center as well as fulfilling her role as Administrative Director at the School of Ukrainian Studies. The Ukrainian American Cultural Center just outside Morristown, NJ (https://uaccnj.org/) is accepting donations for their humanitarian drive to send much needed supplies to Ukraine. You can find the full list of goods, including nonperishable food, clothing, blankets, warm clothing, etc at the link above. Anya ended this episode with a phrase that Ukrainian's are repeatedly using "Glory to Ukraine. Glory to the heroes." Thank you for listening and thank you for contributing to aid the Ukrainians. "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives. Jackie's guests are open and honest and answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more. You'll be amazed at what the responses are.

Family Is So Much More Than Biology with Guest Lifestyle Journalist and Author, Randee Dawn 27:55

15 weeks ago27:55

Randee and her mom are very close. They have a wonderful relationship and Randee says "she's my best cheerleader." A lot of that has to do with the honesty and open communication that they had from the very beginning-"adoption was normal, not a stigma, not a tragedy." Also, Randee learned at a young age that just because you are blood related doesn't guarantee you a loving relationship. Lois was definitely a role model to Randee. But Randee also feels that she learned from things that Lois did and didn't t do and then would form her own opinions. Randee had the luxury of knowing that her mom "always had my back.". Unfortunately, growing up in the 70's, Randee's parents divorced and her mom went to work. She was able to get contract work, writing and editing government contracts. It was a stressful time for Lois, but she made the best of it. For example, her office didn't have a window, so she decided to put a picture of a window up on the wall. That made it feel so much better. "The Only Song Worth Singing," was released April 2025 and "Leave No Trace" will be released August 2025. In “The Only Song Worth Singing”, the power of friendship is one of the major themes blended with myth and the power of music. Imagine Irish folklore combined with mysticism – makes for a magical read. She's also written Amazon Bestseller, Tune in Tomorrow and co-wrote the popular, The Law & Order: SVU Unofficial Companion and co-edited, Across the Universe: Tales of Alternative Beatles. Randee Dawn's Bio: Randee Dawn is a Brooklyn-based author and journalist focusing on speculative fiction across the categories (science-fiction, fantasy and horror) at night, while writing entertainment and lifestyle stories during the day for publications including Today.com, NBCNews.com, Variety , The Los Angeles Times and Emmy Magazine . You may have seen my name in other publications over the years, including Soap Opera Digest and The Boston Phoenix , E! Online, New Musical Express and Mojo. I contributed to a French book about American television , Les Series Tele and co-authored (with Susan Green) The Law & Order: SVU Unofficial Companion. I’ve got a fair amount of short fiction in anthologies, and authored the short story/poetry compilation Home for the Holidays . I’m currently represented by Bridget Smith at JABberwocky Literary Agency, and I frequently appear at conventions and workshops on panels and to give readings. My first novel, Tune In Tomorrow , was published by Solaris/Rebellion in 2022. Arc Manor will publish my next two novels in 2025: The Only Song Worth Singing (April) and Leave No Trace (August). My degree in broadcast journalism from Boston University is occasionally useful, though I’m pleased to have a paralegal certificate from New York University. Currently, I reside with the love of my life and an adorable West Highland Terrier (who is also quite lovable). No, I don’t have a fox, but if you want to meet a fox like this, JAB Canid Education and Conservation Center can help.

Within Chaos, She Brings Inner Calm and Peace with Guest Pianist and Co-Founder of MuseFlow, Patrick Boylan 30:20

16 weeks ago30:20

30:20

Patrick shares stories of his mother and her ability to light up a room whenever she walks in. "She's always herself," beams Patrick. Patrick attributes, her sense of humor to her brothers and he says "she's a little butch, not too feminine." And all of that and more makes him love his mother even more. "She unadulterated herself. She never code switches or changes her behavior depending on the crowd. She always her most authentic self." Eight years of piano lessons was tough for Patrick. He didn't like the repetitive method that his teacher was using and he was bored. His mom eventually had to ground him for not practicing. But that's when he started exploring with little chunks, the melodies, the notes, breaking things down, playing them backwards and forwards until he absolutely fell in love with playing the piano. Patrick claims that his mom "gave him that space to be able to do that and what a privilege." He also admits that his ADHD was most likely a big part of the problem and today, finds great relief by taking a prescribed medication. Patrick's philosophy "even though life around you is chaos, you can still find an inner calm/inner peace, and my mom has that in spades. She can re-infect a room with her vibrancy so easily.She walks into a room and it lights up." "My mother knows that she's infectious around everybody else and so she's able to kind of manipulate that too to better suit the environment a little bit. She thinks everyone should be themselves, most authentically all the time. Below is the first first email response that I got from Patrick having asked if he'd be interested in joining me on SHLTMM. "Hey Jackie. Thanks for reaching out! I love this concept for a podcast. My story fits perfectly for this since she’s been a freelance true crime documentary writer for decades and she allowed me to feel confident in that space, just seeing her succeed and talking about the struggles in that space. I had a good role model. And also… she was the one who grounded me if I didn’t practice piano lol, and now I’m a professional pianist so… I owe it to her for a lot of who I am today 😊 I’d love to be one of your guests. Let me know next steps! Talk soon"! Patrick'sBio: Patrick Boylan is a skilled multi-instrumentalist with a deep passion for self-education. Despite eight years of traditional piano lessons, Patrick found the repetitive nature of practicing the same pieces uninspiring. Like many music students, he struggled with the conventional approach. However, when his teacher retired, Patrick began exploring his parents' sheet music on his own, selecting phrases he enjoyed and improvising around them. This self-directed experimentation not only reignited his interest in music but also led him to uncover the foundational elements of musical theater. Today, Patrick can sight-read virtually any musical theater composition. His experience with traditional music education, combined with his innovative spirit, inspired him to co-found MuseFlow, a cutting-edge music edtech startup often referred to as "The Duolingo of Music Education." MuseFlow revolutionizes music learning by emphasizing the development of bite-sized skills through sight-reading—enabling students to read and play music at first sight—rather than relying on repetitive practice. After students master a new skill through sight-reading, they can apply that skill to songs that get unlocked. This approach to skill-acquisition makes learning music more engaging, effective, and rewarding compared to traditional methods. The platform is customizable to each student's preferred learning pace and skill level, allowing the user to adjust the tempo and complexity of the music, ensuring that they remain challenged but not overwhelmed. MuseFlow’s unique method involves students playing levels designed to teach specific skills, such as new notes, rhythms, or time signatures. The system generates novel sheet music, focusing initially on the new concept in isolation, and gradually integrating it with their existing knowledge throughout the level. Students continue practicing until they achieve a 95% accuracy rate over four consecutive phrases, at which point they have mastered the new skill. Patrick has been featured on podcasts such as Mystery Team Inc.'s "The Biggest Thing In The Universe," where he shares his insights on the future of learning, edtech, and underappreciated Sondheim musicals. He is passionate about educating audiences on self-teaching sight- reading and guiding parents and teachers on how to leverage MuseFlow to help students achieve a flow state, enabling them to master a new instrument with greater accuracy and enjoyment.

Freelance Editor: Mary Walsh is also a freelance editor, offering services for those who need help with their novels. Personal Background: She was born in St. Louis and grew up in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, and now lives in Mechanicsburg, PA with her husband and four kids.

It involves quickly translating musical symbols into sound, requiring both visual processing and coordination of the body.

She Made me Feel Loved, Protected and Secure with Guest Award-Winning Children's Book Author Gramps Jeffrey. Looking Back at S3E12 24:13

SHLTMM CAN NOW BE HEARD ON YOUTUBE: YOUTUBE CHANNEL LINK: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoUWxgQECqrMqI1ylVH9Dpw As I mention in the introduction of my show, Gramps Jeffrey, I believe is the first grandfather I've interviewed on SHLTMM, so that's pretty great. I was so happy to hear how engaged he is with his grandchildren. Gramps' mother's name was Faye and she really left quite an impression on him and his brother. Faye was the youngest of 3 children, with two older brothers. Growing up during the Depression and WWII, known as The Greatest Generation, was a very challenging time, "and my mother lived up to every expectation", continues Gramps. While raising her two boys, she insisted they turn off the tv and read-no if, ands or buts. "We loved our mother," says Gramps, referring to him and his brother. They grew up in a small town in Ohio, about 50 miles outside Columbus, where they were free to play outside and knew when to come home in time for dinner. He had relatives nearby as well, including lots of love and support from his grandmother and uncle. Gramps brags, "mom always had a positive attitude. Her glass was always half full and she was always looking at the 'bright side of life." That philosophy and her passion of reading certainly influenced Gramps and his interest in writing. It's clearly stayed with him even today because he continues to write and read to his 6 grandchildren. "Mom would remind us regularly that we were very fortunate and had a good life, but that we can't forget other people. This world is hard and she knew it," remarks Gramps. Faye had learned many life lessons from her paternal grandmother who lost her husband suddenly when he was only 49. She was left to raise her children on her own, including Fay's dad. She also raised her nephew who had also lost his parents. But her grandmother was always smiling regardless of her hardships. Gramps Jeffrey is very concerned about the different parenting styles today. Most concerns him most and feels is most important for every child is 'one on one attention' from the parent. Gramps feels so blessed to have had such a devoted mother, and hopes that parents still take the time to put the phone down, turn the computer off and just sit and read or spend that precious time with your children. Gramps' mom gave him such a sense of security. "We could always go home and feel secure, you felt love, you felt protected," remarks Gramps about his mom. One of his mom's favorite quotes was "when you love, you will teach others how to love." Gramps Jeffrey is truly committed to sharing this message. He's got every little child on his mind in hopes that they get all the loving that they truly deserve. Gramps Jeffrey is his pen name. His real name is Marc Joseph.

18 weeks ago31:01

31:01

It was such a pleasure to speak with Dani. She's wonderful and has accomplished and overcome quite a bit thus far in her life. And a lot of that has to do with her mother. It took Dani many, many years to figure out what her real connection was with her mother. Was it love? Was it control? Dani was convinced it was love. Even Dani's girlfriends were convinced that she and her mother had the most special relationship and were even a bit jealous of what these two woman had- what looked like a very special bond. Dani was always there for her mother. Very protective of her, always there by her side should she need anything. If she hadn't heard from her mother within a certain amount of time, Dani would worry. If she said the wrong thing, Dani would worry. Here's a little bit of what Dani wrote to me about her relationship with her mother, prior to our recorded conversation. "I'm the way i am because of her. I'm everything she wasn't and still of cuz I find her in me, her fears, her narrative, her internalized voice that speaks to me with grim predictions whenever things go really great for me. I wrote a whole book about me and my mom called "mutterseelenallein" which is a wonderful german word and means something like "lonelier than alone." Like when you find a kitten in the middle of the forest with no mum but as well as no one else around. "Mutterseelenallein" was how my mom and I both felt, while she in fact was given away by her mother in 2nd world war and i had my mom always around like an emotional absent dissociated shadow that lived by my light. My mom was scared and depressed and my sole purpose was to make her happy. She was very generous when it was about sweets and bedtime but i had a massive price to pay: My self, that i had to surrender to her. She was so close that she suffocated me and at the same time she never was there." "I didnt realize till puberty when i started to become my own person what my mom couldn't handle. As long as I was an extension of herself everything was good, but by the slightest sign of separation, she started to become ugly. Emotional blackmailing, blame shifting and the sad realization that no matter what, I could never make her happy...which i tried until the day she died. Missing out to build my own family as she was my sole responsibility. She became the bitter and hateful, jealous of every move I made, every success I celebrated...she talked my victories small, told me I'm too messy or to fat..no man would ever want me." Such powerful words to describe a very complex relationship, especially for a young daughter who trusted her mother implicitly. There's so much more to this story. And the great news is that Dani has accomplished so much in her life. She says she loves her mother regardless of how hurtful she was. She a psychotherapist who's loves helping others and is able to help her patients because she is living proof that you can always turn your life around for the better. As narcissitic as Gabriel was, Dani has learner and voiced her opinion about the significance of raising our children to be able to leave home/the Mother Ship as a teen or in their young adult prime. "The bravest thing to do is teach your kids to separate." Dani uses her bold and dynamic design choices to lift her internal vibrations, to make her happy and feel alive and appreciate all of her talents regardless of how her mother tried to control her and keep her self esteem bleak. (Tinzeltowndesign) Brava Dani and I can't wait to meet you in person either in Germany or The Bohoho in South Africa. *Mutterseelenallein" is a German word meaning "utterly alone" or "completely isolated". It translates literally as "mother's souls alone," but the actual meaning is an extreme sense of loneliness, as if even one's mother has abandoned you. The phrase has a more inteFrom Goodle-Definition of "Mutterseelenallein:" "Tinzeltown, a high-concept project development and interior design firm redefining "content creator spaces."

Finding Comfort in the Similarities Between My Mother and Judy Blume with Guest Bestselling Author Rachelle Bergstein 27:11

19 weeks ago27:11

27:11

"I am my mother's only daughter," explains Bergstein. Both of Rachelle's parents eventually remarried. Her father has two daughters from a subsequent marriage. And Rachelle's mom, has remarried twice. Rachelle's parents were very much in love and married right out of college. At around the age of five years old, her parent's split up and Rachelle lived with her mother though there was joint custody between her parents. Rachelle admits that they did a pretty good job of not pushing and pulling her into their disagreements up until just prior to her wedding! Pauline eventually went to graduate school and became a psychologist and Rachelle says "she'll work into her eighties, she loves it so much." "She had a lot of drive and intelligence that was sort of sitting somewhere and not used. Eventually she learned how to use it." says my guest. There were humble beginning after the divorce, but Pauline eventually found her calling and nothing can stop her now. Getting support from her mom regarding her writing and being able to have honest open conversations was always helpful, yet Pauline didn't like it "when I dressed sexy. I could pierce my ears, dye my hair, no tattoos till 18. My mother also has a really loud laugh" recalls Rachelle. So loud that Rachelle will sometimes ask her mother to not laugh so loud if they're out in a restaurant. Some of Rachelle's favorite Judy Blume books include, "Are You There God, It's Me Margaret," "Blubber," "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" and so many more. But it was Ms. Blume's natural writing style that enthralled not only Rachelle but teens and young adults around the world, even today. There was a period in the 1980's that Judy Blume was one of the most banned author in America. She wrote about somewhat sensitive topics that her audience was looking to learn more about, but not from their parents. Topics such as menstruation, puberty, parental divorce, sexuality, women's lib/feminism and so much more. One of many things that Rachelle is grateful for is that her mother was very open about speaking with her about a woman's body and sexuality. Again, it was reflective for Rachelle to write this latest book "The Genius of Judy Blume-How Judy Blume Rewrote Childhood for All of Us." She clearly saw many similarities in both her mother and Ms. Blume's life. Though the transition of being a young divorcee with children was challenging, once these women hit their stride, they found themselves unstoppable.

She and Her Family Fled Germany But the Victimization Lasted A Lifetime with Guest Entrepreneur and Business Coach, Henry Woodman 33:25

37 weeks ago33:25

Henry Woodman, a really interesting entrepreneur and father was wonderful explaining the complexities of his mother's behavior. He and his two siblings had to juggle so many crazy situations that would never have happen in a "normal" family. Henry shares stories of his mother that are truly shocking and unfortunate for any children to have to had to experience. And again, when you take into account what Margo experienced as a child, perhaps one can be more forgiving. All of that said, Henry loved his mother, yet was her affection genuine? "It's hard to say because regardless of the things she set her children up to do. He says that his mother was very loving and affectionate in spite of asking her children to steal things from stores and then act shocked and surprised when confronted by the store manager, etc. if they got caught. "As a kid you don’t really realize what was going on-that was kind of messed up", reflects Woodman. " When mom was growing up, the sense of having missed out or being robbed and the victimization thing came through her whole life. She would do whatever she needed to do in order to have the appearance of somebody successful or wealthy. It manifested itself in us looking at the world saying there’s more to it than the superficial part of it. We had horseback riding , tennis, speak multiple languages, it was challenging but also thankful for it all (languages, etc) plus other things that she felt the kids have to have this facade." Lessons learned by Henry were many including first and foremost, he could have continued on the path of "I need more," I deserve more," etc. But he chose a different path, one not superficially charged, one of morals and doing what's right. What he did learn from his mother is tolerance and resilience. And Henry is so thankful for these gifts.

"She Came Into This Lifetime to Spread Joy and Transcend Challenges" With Guest Intuitive Channel Stephanie Banks 28:22

38 weeks ago28:22

28:22

"She had a really, really good life," says Stephanie about her mother. That said, it was a good life, yet complicated. As a young girl, Joanie had many friends, and so many were drawn in by her joyful energy, big heart and infectious laugh. Joanie's father owned a women's clothing store and she got to ware the newest designs of dresses and outfits from the shop on a regular basis. She love her father and she love all the beautiful clothes. Unfortunately, Joanie's father died suddenly when she was pregnant with Stephanie. Stephanie believes that her mother never fully recovered from this loss. In time, Joanie taught her daughter how to nurture female relationships and Stephanie is so thankful for that. Joanie would spend time on the phone speaking with her girlfriends and she was a wonderful letter writer. She often wrote letters and sent care packages to Stephanie when away at camp, etc. Later on in life, unfortunately Joanie had been misdiagnosed by her doctors, before they started treating her for dementia. Communication eventually became challenging for mother and daughter and Stephanie wanted to figure out a way for both women to be able to communicate. Stephanie started engaging more with the right side or "intuitive" side of her brain in hopes of opening up their connection through mind, body and spirit. After a long journey, Stephanie was relieved when her mother passed away. Stephanie insists that if she had do it all over again, she wouldn't change a thing. Though it was tough growing up with a mom with mental illness, there was so much love and appreciation between them. Stephanie is also grateful to her father who never wavered with his support, compassion and attention and was always by his wife's side, giving and getting her the best care possible. It's been many years since Joanie passed and yet Stephanie is in conversation, visual and spiritual connection with her mother on a regular basis. Including the signs that her mother sends via the red cardinal outside the window. Stephanie is so thankful for her journey with her mother because my guest feels "a really sharp ability to read energy." Stephanie shares "that's part of the lesson of this walk in life. We con't have control of the things we presume to have control over." My guest is so grateful for the "nudges" that she started getting years ago. And even more thankful that she started recognizing and acknowledging these intuitive messages. She's built a career helping others because of her mother's experience and she's so happy her mother is still a huge part of her life. Stephanie shares "through my channeling gifts, I reconnect people to their soul’s wisdom and innate intuition to create a life of their wildest imagining." Stephanie is asked regularly "how do I know if I have intuitive gives like you"? "My answer is this: we ALL have powerful intuitive gifts. All of us. But we don’t all use these gifts because somewhere along the journey we were taught to mistrust ourselves or fear our gifts. That’s the bad news. The good news is: you can reclaim your gifts at any time! Your intuition never goes away. Speaking with Stephanie was so uplifting and a reminder to not ignore the signal or "nudges" as Stephanie refers to the signals or messages we gets from a loved one and/or a higher power.

She Was A Superhero In The Classroom with Guests Professors and Authors Michael and James Shapiro. Looking Back at S3E4 47:28

39 weeks ago47:28

47:28

My initial thought was to find information about William Shakespeare's mother, Mary Arden. I was curious as to the role she played or didn't play in her son's life. That search led me to Shakespearian expert and Columbia University English Professor, James Shapiro. His initial responses was, "your podcast will last about 30 seconds because we don't know much about her." That said, he mentioned that he and his brother Michael, also a professor at Columbia University (Graduate School of Journalism), would be interested in sharing stories about their mother who had also been a teacher. Both brothers agree that their mother "was the greatest teacher ever." Unfortunately Lorraine had a very unhappy childhood. She was her father's daughter. The youngest of three children with two older brothers, Lorraine and her mom didn't see eye to eye. Therefore Lorraine lacked self confidence when at home, confronted by her mother. Out of this fractured relationship, Lorraine found a world full of fantasy and boundless imagination with her students. James says " mom was a pathological fantasist. She believed that every child should have a dream." "Because of her unhappy childhood, continues Michael, she decided to recreate the world by sheer force of imagination and will." Mrs. Shapiro devoted her life to her family- her husband, Herb, of 65 years, her children and her students. She always told her children that they were accomplished and that they were going to succeed. That didn't mean that she didn't push them to work harder and do better- perhaps as Michael says "she sent mixed signals sometimes." During our conversation, James and Michael share what a brilliant baker their mother was and how hard she worked to have fresh baked individual goodies ready for them each morning before running out the door to teach. However, when it came to main meals/dinner entrees, let's just say that wasn't her strong point. Lorraine was a teacher before she met her future husband. Once married, Lorraine's mother pressured her to quit while she was starting a family, insisting that is was completely unacceptable for her to work and raise a family at the same time. It was 11 years before Lorraine got back to the classroom. Something that her son's know was very hard for their mother, not because she didn't love her family, it was overwhelmingly clear that their mother needed to be in the classroom with her first graders. "It wasn't accidental that she was happiest with little kids, first graders especially. They know how to dream, they know how to play and they are perfectly happy to buy into her fantasy world," says James." Both sons love teaching and confess that they are the same kind of teacher that their mother was. They both take her into the classroom with them each day. They adore their mother, her passion and her spark and speak regularly of her magic, wisdom and charm. "What she represented was strength" continues Michael emphatically. Lorraine may have been petite, but her dreams were big. James Shapiro-his work has made it to the NY Times Top 10 Books of 2020 list. He's a professor of English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University, distinguished authority on William Shakespeare, Former Board Member, now Govenor of Royal Shakespeare Company and he is the Shakespeare Scholar in Residence at the Public Theatre in New York. Michael Shapiro-Professor at Columbia Univ Graduate School of Journalism, He's written for newspapers in New Jersey and Chicago as well as magazine publications, such as Sports Illustrated, The New Yorker, The NY Times Magazine and more. the author of Bottom of the Ninth and The Last Good Season: Brooklyn, the Dodgers, and Their Final Pennant Race Together plus a uthor of 5 previous books.

She Believed Her Dreams Would Come True But She Didn’t Know They Would Be Gold With Guest 2024 Paris Olympic Gold Medal Foil Fencer, Jackie Dubrovich 28:55

Jackie Dubrovich and I had a wonderful conversation about her families historical journey to to America. We also took a few minutes to share our similarities. Interestingly enough, both of us have stories to share of an Olympic experience, but from different perspectives. It was fun to reminisce about my experience at the 1980, XIII Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, New York. These particular winter games are remembered for the U.S. Men's Ice Hockey Team's "Miracle on Ice" gold-medal run plus Eric Hieiden's five gold medals in speed skating and so much more. I was a college student at the time and was hired to work in the transportation Dept and drive the athletes and country representatives to and from the Olympic Village into downtown Lake Placid for events and medal ceremonies. Lake Placid is a beautiful town nestled in the middle of the New York Adirondack Mountains. Go for a visit if you ever have an opportunity. It's absolutely beautiful. Ms. Dubrovich couldn't have been more gracious and happy to share stories of her mother and her mom's experience traveling by herself to America from Belarus, to marry the love of her life and become an American Citizen. Just think of the bravery it took for a young woman to board a flight and head into the unknown. She didn't speak english. She had one suitcase with her possessions and fifty dollars in her pocket. Valentina, according to her daughter is one of the hardest working moms she knows. Valentina worked in a Russian food store before coming to the United States. To this day she still works regularly and even on her days off, according to her daughter, "she still works hard." Jackie recalls her mother studying, from books she took out from the local library, for her test to become an American Citizen. Jackie and her parents spoke Russian to one another at home and with other family members. Jackie even continued her Russian studies at Columbia University in New York City . As a first generations American , she completed her undergraduate degree in Psychology, Human Rights and Russian Literature and Culture in 2016. Valentina could never have imagined in her wildest dreams that her daughter would become and Olympic Athlete, let alone a Gold Medalist in Fencing. Jackie and her parents had big dreams and expectations for their daughter, eldest of two children. At times, Jackie definitely felt the pressure to be the best of the best. She regularly recognized her parents high expectations for both she and her younger brother, also a professional athlete. But Jackie got to the point where she had to be able to handle her experiences and career as a professional on her own terms. As a family, they all learned how to communicate better and Jackie's parents learned to step back a little bit to let her handle her trajectory. Jackie and her partner, Brian Kaneshige, have opened a new fencing facility in Orange, New jersey called "Polaris Fencing Center." Both Jackie and Brian wanted to be able to give back to the next generation of kids who may not be able to afford years of training and expenses, yet are passionate about a career in Fencing. Valentina couldn't be more proud of her daughter and her accomplishments. After the pandemic and the 2020 Olympics, Jackie had a tough time. Not really sure if she was interested in training for another four years for the next Olympics. "In Eastern European culture, it's not very common to talk about your feelings, but my parents did a really good job, to know what to say when I was low." Both parents supported her then as well as now.

She Claimed to be Royalty to Cover up her Tragic Upbringing in a Foundling Hospital with Guest Author and Attorney Justine Cowan 27:51

41 weeks ago27:51

27:51

"Dorothy" was the name that the institution assigned to this new born baby girl that had been dropped off at this facility by the unmarried biological mother. At this time, there was unprecedented prejudice against illegitimate children and unwed mothers. This facility was government run and theoretically a highly regarded home for foundlings from the ages of 5 to 12 years old. At which point they were to have trained the children who were not returned to their families, with skills in order for them to be placed in homes as house maids, servants, etc. The environment that shaped Dorothy was brutal. Justine shares stories of her mom's experience of being pushed in the pool and held under the water before she even knew how to swim. Often her mother and other children were locked up in cupboards or closets, in the dark with no food or water for days on end. Physical, emotional and psychological abuse certainly took a toll on this young girls life. One that she never was fully able to recover from. Justine, shares the stories of her experience growing up in California with her mother and father. Dorothy presented as sophisticated, upper class, a well educated woman. All that Justine knew was that her mother was of British Royalty. My guest grew up taking lessons for this and that, and yet never once met any of her so called "English Royalty" relatives. Her home was absolutely beautiful, the finest of everything imaginable, except perhaps, happiness. On Justine's journey to retrace her mother's steps and visiting the institution, which now exists as a museum, she was able to see all the letters that her maternal grandmother had been writing on a regular basis, to the institution inquiring about her beautiful baby girl. In response, the administration would respond with a non committal letter with very little information. Dorothy suffered tremendously from the abuse she had endured all those years. It's so unfortunate that it was kept a secret until after her death. "The Secret Life of Dorothy Soames" is a brilliant memoir, one of which should help us use this experience in order to help others struggling with emotional and mental illness. Justine had to distance herself from her mom and all the years of living with someone with mental illness, before she could read her mother's life story. "By reading my grandmother's letters, I realized that there was a trait that my mother had, my mother had and that I have and that's tenacity, " says Cowan proudly. "Plowing through difficulties and not giving up."

Sometimes The Best Thing To Do, Is Nothing At All with Guest Engineer, Designer and Author, Jennifer Peavey. Looking Back to S3E3 28:49

Letting go of the busyness, was a gift Jennifer gave to herself. Her grandmother was always keeping busy as was her mom, but Jennifer wasn't happy just doing things that she didn't really want to do. My guest wanted to satisfy her interests of both the right and left sides of her brain. Becoming an engineer seemed like a logical career choice because her father was an engineer. Twenty years later, she realized she was bored and needed more. She retired and completed her Masters degree in Industrial Design. When Jennifer mentioned to her mom that she may pursue an architecture degree, her mother said "don't waste your time." Jennifer's grandfather started having heart complications when her mom was just 9 years old. Jennifer is certain this is where and when the anxiety issues started for her mother. Jennifer's grandmother was also anxious and worried about her husband's health. Both women were always ready for the next emergency. Waiting for the other shoe to drop. Anxiety and stress can easily be passed down from generation to generation. In understanding her family's serious circumstances at the time, Jennifer felt it was now time to stop the cycle of anxiety and being busy just for the sake of being busy. When intuition suggests something has to change, it's a good idea to listen to that silent voice. Jennifer took advantage of her downtime during the pandemic to reflect, plan, try new ways, analyze, stop, evaluate and try again. Her result is her book Natural Reflectors. Natural Reflectors: Moving From Burnout to Engagement by Phasing Reflection into Actions (Natural Reflectors Series Book 1) Amazon Link: Natural Reflectors https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Reflectors-Burnout-Engagement-Reflection-ebook/dp/B09DFNLLDW The World Health Organization names stress as the health epidemic of the 21st Century. Slowing down not only reduces stress, but produces outcomes with a greater impact. Natural Reflectors explores the idea of instilling, within our actions, a mindset of intentional reflection taken from the power of nature’s cycles. You will learn how a healthy process of managing one’s life has both elements of reflection and action. Find within these pages stories such as: Bill Burnett from Stanford’s Design Your Life Lab explaining how we can only make good decisions when listening to both our mind and body Stacy Levy, an environmental artist revealing the stories in nature that surround each of us, allowing us to see them, appreciate them, consider them, and maybe even learn from them Carl Honore describing how our behavior is heavily influenced by our definition of time If you have ever thought that there must be a better way to find meaning and purpose in your everyday life, read Natural Reflectors . If you are tired of living on autopilot, or if you are seeking a greater connection with the world around you, this book offers hope. FB: Jennifer Peavey Instagram: jenniferpeavey, jennifer.theblacklab LinkedIn: Jennifer Peavey--Jennifer Peavey completed her Master’s in Industrial Design from North Carolina State University to add to her two degrees in Chemical Engineering from Clemson University. This new ID degree will allow her develop insights from design research to inform multi-disciplinary teams in the creation and production of materials that connect directly with human needs. TWITTER: Jennifer Peavey, @JenniferTheBL ABOUT THE AUTHOR Jennifer Peavey comes from a varied background of engineering, design, and innovation. She is known for finding common ground and powerful connections in unexplored territory. Amid the pandemic, Jennifer found herself making new connections within herself as she ventured into uninvestigated spaces of her life. Through this period of isolation and reflection, she was inspired to share her discovery of turning her fear and pain into a mindset of intentional reflection and power.

While Mum Worked, Nana Was There to Show Us Love with Guest Director of Football at Hamilton Academical, Gerry Strain 33:05

43 weeks ago33:05

Gerry Strain is a former Football player in Scotland. He played Football ( known as Soccer in America) for many many years and eventually he had to come to the understanding that he wasn't going to rise to the professional level that he aspired to for many reasons. He feels it had a lot to do with not being from the proper socio-economic class. Eventually, Gerry became an agent and now he's the Director of Hamilton Academical Football Club. When Gerry first contacted me, he sent me a list of women that have impacted his life. First and foremost, his mum and nana. Then he went on to mention his wife, Jennifer, his aunt Marie, his daughter, Grace and several co-workers and employers. Gerry is such a gracious Scott. Considering his experience growing up, Gerry shares stories of how his relationship with his mom was stained. He missed having a father that was a main stay in his life. That said, Catherine was on her own and was trying to do her best. Strain offered this as a description of his mother, " mom's biggest strengths were also her biggest weaknesses." Gerry says he has this same instinct, "the generosity and giving aspect." Gerry says that his mother taught him to watch out for not only his brother, but for his friends, family and neighbors. Though Gerry didn't have much, there was always someone in their neighborhood that was lonely and in need, if not food, at least companionship. Loyalty is one of the many gifts his mum taught him. "I have the same circle of people around me as I've had all my life. They're in that circle because I know they love me and care about me," continues Gerry. "But my own personal aspirations are to be as financially secure as I possibly can and earn as much as I can. I like to do a lot of positive things. I don't want to be wealthy to be the wealthiest guy in the room. I want to be wealthy so I can make a difference to someone." One of Gerry's favorite sayings is "your network is your networth." Nana, whose name was Josephine, played a different role in Gerry's life than his mum did. "She played a mothering role and I could tell her anything," according to Gerry. "I could have robbed a bank and committed fifteen murders and my Nana would have said I was innocent." My guest describes his Nana as a great woman, very strong, vary staunch in her beliefs and convictions. She taught both boys about loyalty, and what you should expect back and where you draw the lines.

All She Really Wanted Was to be Valued and Loved with Guest Therapist, Sex Educator and Best Selling Author Dr. Tina Schermer Sellers 28:30

In time, Tina became "the fixer" in the household. The fights and yelling was too much for Tina and she also took on the role of being her younger sister's protector. She felt that she needed to calm everyone down most importantly for herself to feel safe. Feeling abandoned and neglected early on in her life, my guest's mother, was a highly sensitive child and she didn't get as much attention as she needed as a child. The family deemed her "the neurotic child." It seemed as though the only thing that Leilani's family seemed to valued was her beauty. Leilani became a swimsuit model as a young teen and was basically on her own. This took place between, 1953-54 and she experienced many advances from men as one would imagine and a reminder that this was way before the "Me Too" movement. Tina had to put up some of her own boundaries between she, her sister and her mom. The triggers of infighting in the family was not where Tina wanted to keep her heart. Later on in life, as Leilani was starting to suffer from dementia, Tina was able to spend three weeks with her mother, visiting her and helping take care of her. Tina says their common love that they so embraced when Tina was a baby, was so present during those visits. None of the terrible threatening or fearful tendencies showed their face and Tina is so grateful for that special time to rekindle their relationship as though nothing had ever gotten between them. Tina made reference to a poem by Dorothy Lae Nolte in our conversation. Please find it below. It's still stands strong today regarding principles we try and teach our children and the principles that we hope many children never have to experience. Children Learn What They Live By Dorothy Law Nolte If children live with criticism, they learn to condemn. If children live with hostility, they learn to fight. If children live with ridicule, they learn to be shy. If children live with shame, they learn to feel guilty. If children live with encouragement, they learn confidence. If children live with tolerance, they learn to be patient. If children live with praise, they learn to appreciate. If children live with acceptance, they learn to love. If children live with approval, they learn to like themselves. If children live with honesty, they learn truthfulness. If children live with security, they learn to have faith in themselves and others. If children live with friendliness, they learn the world is a nice place in which to live.

It Was Easier to Encourage Her Children To Succeed Rather Than Follow Her Own Dreams with Guest CEO and Podcast Host of Next Level University, Alan Lazaros 23:12

45 weeks ago23:12

Beth was raised in Worcester, MA and she was the youngest of three children. Unfortunately, she was born seventeen years after her second oldest sister. She was basically raised as an only child and unfortunately didn't get much attention from her parents. Alan's grandparents felt that she was a pretty blond haired, blue eyed young lady and that she'd get married and start a family. They never instilled any ideals about higher education and basically left her to fend for herself. Well, she and her husband did fall in love and started a loving family but then her dreams were crushed when she suddenly lost the love of her life and the father of her two children in the car accident. Beth did her best to encourage her children to shoot for the stars, aim high and big, go to college, many more doors will open for you. Alan says he's so grateful to his mom for "teaching him to aim high. She'd say you'll have choices. She taught me to care about school." My guest completed his Engineering degree at WPI, Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Though very successful, he felt as though he wasn't satisfied. At this crossroads of his life, Alan felt as though he wasn't "as focused on the inside-out, I was focused on the outside-in and I didn't realize it." Loosing his father at 2 1/2-3 years old was crushing for the entire family and says "loosing a father very young, it takes a lot of humility to admit that you need hope. Hope inspires others to better their best." One thing that Alan struggled with is that he didn't feel that his mother's advice matched her actions. "No one ever really led by example. So I've invested the last ten years, time and effort, on my own self improvement." Alan is now the CEO and Podcast Co-host of Next Level University as well as the Co Host of The Conscious Couples Podcast. Alan is a business and life coach. He'll help you stay focused, track your progress and achieve your best life.

Unapologetic: The Power of Women In Charge of Their Own Destiny with Guest Founder and Executive Director of "Her Bold Move," Jordan Zaslow 30:08

46 weeks ago30:08

30:08

Throughout my conversation with Jordan, she spoke of what a loving family she's a part of. So much open conversation, a vast view of politics and current events going on in the world. Jordan is quick to point out that "my entire life I was raised in such an unapologetically feminist household. Both parents are/were feminists and both parents believed in female leadership." So it's no real surprise that Jordan is now helping women get elected in the House and/or Senate, that have never elected a female candidate before. Jordan describes her mother as strong and loving, very protective and supportive. "Both of my parents were so generous with their time. They made it to everything, (school activities, etc.) and they were so generous with how much they shared with us about their lives." Now that Jordan is a mother, it has unlocked a new understanding of her mom's amazing role of keeping she and her sisters safe. "Mom was so gently, gracious, poised, the classiest person I know. Very put together, calm presence, very natural, always made us feel very loved," shares Zaslow. There's so much more to Jordan's past and future. Hope you enjoy the listen.

A Sunny Disposition In Spite of the Lingering Fear with Guest Founder of Center Stage Connections, Julie Campbell 31:02

47 weeks ago31:02

31:02

At 50, Julie's mom got divorced, became a real estate agent and started a new life. Julie Campbell says, " we are more than our fears." And she knows first hand that it's possible to move on from your past and move on from your limiting beliefs. Julie is a New York actor and founder of Center Stage Connections, where she uses her acting background and tools to help others "move beyond limiting beliefs, communicate with authenticity and presence , speak with courage and clarity and make connections with colleagues and clients that build relationships, grow your business and create the work and life that you imagine." Julie has a wonderful role model in her mother. In her youth, Liz was an avid athlete with a passion for basketball. Liz, as a youth, was a softball and basketball coach. She was a proof reader and typist long before computers, designer and seamstress, loved to cook and dance and a self taught handyman. My guest learned from her mother to not let anyone get in your way and never give anyone the ability to control or demoralize you. Liz did attempt to leave her husband in order to protect her children, yet realized that she wouldn't be able to offer her children a financially stable future and higher education because she was a stay at home mom at the time. Early on in her career, Liz had been a well loved nurse that became very involved in her children's lives. According to Julie, the basis of Center Stage Connections is " building a business that is deeply rooted in supporting others to step into their story-at work at home and in life." Because of her experience growing up in a volatile environment, Julie has so much to offer others struggling to find their truth, helping them work through their own origin stories and create their own future.

Forgiving Oneself is Liberating with Guest Writer Sarah Malik Sayed 24:26

Sarah is a writer and this is the first time her work has been published in the New York Times. the link is below. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/08/23/style/modern-love-looking-for-my-mother.html This is an unusual love story where a Pakistani woman proposed to her lover which was culturally not the norm. They were both young and very much in love. Unfortunately, Kaukab, translated from Arabic, means "star" or "constellation" was diagnosed with Leukemia a few years after their daughter's were born. Sarah's parents went to London for a bone marrow transplant. This was the beginning of tearing the family apart. The girls moved in with family members in Saudi Arabia, while their dad stayed in London. Her father was distraught and couldn't even tell the girls that their mother had passed away until days later. They did not attend their mother's funeral, though they were close by. The family members blamed Sarah's father for Kaukab's death. This and more lead to Sarah blaming herself for her mother's death. She believes that her mom was trying to teach her to let go, but either way Sarah has spent a good part of her life blaming herself for her mother's death. Sarah has very few personal possessions to remember her mother by. She has a card that her mother wrote her when in the hospital, that she still has today. Her mother had hopes of seeing her girls again but fate had a different plan. And not too long ago, Sarah was able to bring home two embroideries that her mother had made, many years ago and they hang in Sarah's home today. Sarah's relatives have told her, that her mother handled her illness very eloquently, she didn't give into despair and she accepted her illness and her death with grace. My guest has plans for writing fiction, short stories, kids books and more.

The Strength of my Limitations with Guest Science Reporter and Author, Sadie Dingfelder 28:57

49 weeks ago28:57

This is a story of a woman who didn't realize she had neurological conditions that were perhaps altering her abilities until she was in her forties. You ask how is that possible? Well, Sadie thought that everyone was just like her. She assumed everyone else's brain worked just like hers. Her biggest cheerleader was her grandmother, who since Sadie was a little girl, has catalogued everything her granddaughter has written or drawn. Adele says of her grandmother "she is perfect and just brimming with fantastic folksy wisdom." "Do I Know You, A Faceblind Reporter's Journey into the Science of Sight, Memory, and Imagination," is Sadie's recently released book and there's a wealth of information for anyone who thinks perhaps they are alone in the discovery of being neurodivergent. Scientists believe that these types of conditions may actually give you an edge as an artist. One of the many gifts of having a poor memory, Sadie mentioned, is that she lives in the moment. Her grandmother "felt comforted by her self expression and it helped her make meaning out of the chaos of life," according to my guest. Sadie has a condition call SDAM, which stands for- S EVERELY D EFFICIENT A UTOBIOGRAPHICAL M EMORY.

Difficult Waters To Navigate with Guest Author Ken Gagne. Looking Back at S3E2 28:03

50 weeks ago28:03

28:03

My guest grew up in Chicopee, MA, a mill town, textiles/paper, with hard working moms and dads just trying to provide for their families. The large immigrant community was trying to develop new skills while developing new ties with their new neighbors. Ken's father's family was from Quebec, Canada and his mom, Cindy, her family immigrated from Scotland. There's quite a bit to this story that Ken shared with me and I'm not going to reveal all of it other than saying it was at times very difficult to navigate. When things are left better off not spoken about, that leaves lots of unanswered questions. Ken was often made to feel that he was the special son, the baby of the family, the youngest boy. His 2 older sisters were always there to help out but Ken definitely got his fair share of attention. However, there were 2 other brothers that Ken tells us about in our interview. It's heartbreaking, yet at times maybe one can understand why the decision was made so many years ago. One of the hardest challenges for Ken as a young boy, was that he "didn't want to be the cause of any more pain for my parents. I grew up trying to do all the right things. My parents were so forgiving." Yet there was always the underlying feeling that "he and his sisters were born to fill the void left by his brothers." I thought that this was overwhelming and exhausting for a little boy but Ken "thinks that this gave him a real purpose in life. "I turned myself into a person who always did my best, not a perfectionist. Mom just wanted us to do our best." Ken never cut a class, didn't drink till he was of legal age and never got into trouble because he hoped he was helping his parents. When Ken started working as a producer for the NBA (National Basketball Association), he basically walked through those doors as a lucky, young ambitious kid. Twenty nine years passed and he walked out as a talented, resolute adult with so many questions to answer. He was determined to write about his life and his family and it's all captured in "You're Gonna Miss Me Some Day." Robert and David were the answer to lots of those questions. He couldn't turn back time but he has them to thank for giving him clarity and peace. Hope you enjoy our conversation.

Unconventional And Selfless with Guest Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor Roya Dedeaux. Looking Back at S3E1 29:26

51 weeks ago29:26

29:26

As a licensed Marriage and Family Counselor, author and public speaker, Roya Dedeaux hears lots of 'mom' stories. The one she's most proud of is the story of her own mother, Pam. Pam and her siblings as well as her mother, Roya's grandmother, were all educators. Education and learning was always a topic of concern whenever they got together. So when Roya's mom said she wanted to 'unschool' Roya and her sisters, the girls were all very confused. Roya was just finishing up 4th grade and mom said "I'm not sending you back to school next year." Well you can imagine the confusion amongst the siblings, especially Roya who was going to be starting 5th grade. Mom was determined to make this work and pleaded, " just trust me for 3 months, if you don't like it, you can go back to school." I am not an expert by any means, but what I do know is that 'Unschooling' is all about encouraging your child or children to pursue their passions and follow their dreams, whatever they may be. For example, if your child loves animals or marine life, study animals and marine life-take them to zoos and aquariums, do projects-indulge them in their interests. And the same is true for any interest or field of study. "Supporting your children's interests, helps promote better mental health and fulfilled relationships," believes Ms. Dedeaux. This project of unschooling worked extremely well for my guest. Roya started taking college classes at the age of 13-always taking classes that she was interested in and she had full support from both her father and her mother. She says this was " a celebration of doing things differently, always keeping an open mind about possibilities." This process encourages and engages kids because these are topics of interest not mandatory subjects of study where tests are required. The bottom line is that it requires full attention from the parent and your children are happy. Make every adventure and trip a hands on learning experience-as though learning through osmosis. Roya had no interest in going back to school after a short time and says "my mom gave me to myself forever with her decision to unschool us." With many many years of higher education, Roya and her sisters are all very happy with the lessons their mom taught them. Roya refers to her mom as "a pioneer," and is so grateful to her mom for the tough decisions that she made when the girls were young. "Connect With Courage-Practical Ways to Release Fear and Find Joy In The Places Your Kids Take You," is Ms. Dedeaux's most recent book. I hope you enjoy this episode of SHLTMM.

A Complicated Woman Who Finally “Found Her Tribe” with Guests Award Winning Graphic Novel and Picture Book Author, Brendan Deneen and His Mother, Irene Deneen Murray 28:16

In speaking with my two guests, they shared stories of the three generations of writers in the family including, Irene's mother, Wilma, followed by my guest, Irene and her son Brendan. Brendan is an award winning graphic novel/picture book author and acquiring editor at Blackstone Publishing where he also runs the TV and Film Division even made notice of having his maternal grandmothers published books on his desk. Brendan shares that he was always supported and encouraged by his family with his passion for comic books which he started writing and drawing caricatures at a young age. In time, Irene expressed "that the family was moving in a different direction and the divorce was almost inevitable." Irene continues, "I'm highly emotionally intelligent and I finally found my tribe. I found people who spoke my language." This all occurred once she went back to school for her Masters Degree in Counseling, and later on became a social worker. Brendan raves about his childhood as a latch key kid. He loved growing up in Connecticut. And now as a father, he appreciates even more what it takes for parents to raise their children. And now he's learned even more about what his mother was going through raising the four Deneen children. Both Irene and Brendan claim to be emotionally intelligent-they are very good at listening to others, which Brendan feels that "not many people listen to one another these days." Brendan has always been there for his mom as a sounding board. Irene says " Brendan was my listening post." When she needed to talk, she call Brendan.They have a special bond for sure. They respect one another. Irene Deneen Murray : Irene Deneen Murray grew up in the 50’s, an era when a woman could be a nurse, teacher or secretary. She chose teacher because it pleased her mother. In truth the first half of her life was devoted to taking care of or pleasing her mother. At age 50 having raised 4 kids in a Hollywood -worthy suburb, Irene became a divorcee and learned to love being more adventurous than she had previously ever imagined. By then she was working as a social worker having recently earned a Master’s Degree in Counseling. Irene loves the natural world and has been a devoted hiker and later a biker, paddler and pretty consistently a practitioner of yoga. She continues these pastimes presently sometimes to the chagrin of her children since they may picture her falling off a cliff, rolling over in her kayak or some other catastrophe. Her children and grandchildren are her greatest achievement. She is a good observer and has insight galore but is sometimes amazed at how each of her children has developed so uniquely. Brendan Deneen is the author of the novels The Ninth Circle and The Chrysalis , as well as the bestselling four-volume Night Night, Groot picture book series for Marvel/Disney. He’s also the author of the middle-grade graphic novel Green Arrow: Stranded for DC Comics; the novels Morbius: Blood Ties and Guardians of the Galaxy: Annihilation : Conquest from Marvel/Titan, and Alien: Uncivil War from 20th Century Studios/Titan. His other graphic novel work includes multiple volumes of Flash Gordon , an original I sland of Misfit Toys book, and the original graphic novel Scatterbrain . In addition to his writing, Brendan has been working in the publishing and film/TV industries for twenty-five years, including development jobs with Scott Rudin Productions and Miramax, as well as editorial and book-to-film jobs with St. Martin's Press and Tor Books. He currently works at Blackstone Publishing, where he's an acquiring editor in addition to running the company's film/TV division, which he created, and where he has dozens of literary projects set up at movie studios, streamers, and networks. His short stories and essays have been published by St. Martin's Press, Reader's Digest Books, 13Thirty Press, and Necro Publications.

Forgiveness-The Pathway to Happiness with Guest Author and Life Coach, Dr. Dravon James 29:22

21 weeks ago29:22

29:22

Dravon was the eldest of the three kids and would sometimes hear her mom crying at night. That was really hard for Dravon because she knew how hard her mother had worked and how much she gave up in order to give her children a solid family foundation and a good education. So Dravon was afraid to disappoint her mom because of all the sacrifices her mom had made for the family. Now, Davon is a doctor, an author and a Life Coach. She has so much to thank her mother for, including how her mom instilled in her the power of positive thinking, hard work the power of forgiveness. In Dravon’s new book, “Forgiveness: The Pathway to Happiness,” she shares her expertise and personal experience with forgiveness. She teaches that "it is not denial, amnesia, or even reconciliation, but a pathway to peace and a lifetime practice." A few inspirational influencers include Oprah Winfrey, Miya Angelou and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale. As a young child, my guest’s journey began in poverty on the South Side of Chicago. Though she had always dreamt of a career on the stage, Dravon went on to earn a doctorate in pharmacy from Creighton University and has worked as a pharmacist for over 30 years. A leader in the healthcare industry , she is the recipient of the Secretary McDonough Coin of Recognition for her leadership efforts to combat the COVID pandemic. Along with her medical career and theatrical aspirations, Dr. Dravon has always had a keen interest in personal development. After reading Norman Vincent Peale’s The Power of Positive Thinking in college, she went on to make a lifelong study of the power we all have to create the life we want. Ruby wasn't all hard work and business. Because of her Southside of Chicago roots, she was the queen of "Chicago Steppin.' Chicago Steppin', which I was not familiar with until Dravon shared this story of her mom's love of dancing, is a unique and improvisational partner dance, originated in Chicago's Southside and is rooted in soul, jazz, and R&B music, with influences from styles like the Chicago Bop, Lindy Hop, and Western Swing. Dr. Jame's says her mother always instilled in her children to "be dogmatic and be committed to something." Ruby was unwavering, reflects James. "Her commitment to success was the endgame!"

The Illustrious Women of Coral Gables With Guests June Thomson Morris and her Mother Dorothy Thomson 31:23

22 weeks ago31:23

31:23

As a proud mother, Dorothy was all ready to share very specific stories of when she thought June "should listen to her mother," including her junior high musical instrument selection, Orange Bowl Queen/King Orange Bowl Game in Miami, taking a job at the "nascent" CNN news network and not marrying her first husband. "Greetings From Paradise" began as a screen play and it turned into a gift from June to Coral Gables. It is a one act, 80 minute play written by June Thomson Morris, making it's debut at Miracle Theater on Miracle Mile. The roaring 20's happened big time in Coral Gables and the Miami area. At that time, the Prohibition was not taken seriously at all. June says "the booze was pouring in with miles of unprotected coastlines between Bermuda and Cuba." 1925 the great Florida Land Boom -no more income tax nor inheritance tax so everyone from up north, who had money, flocked to the Miami area. In September of 1926, a hurricane leveled Miami and left a path of destruction June's Grandmother, Lucy, was there and she experienced the loss of all that had been created and developed because of this one horrific storm. Dorothy as a proud mother, explains that by writing this play, June has done something that no one else has ever done. It's the first time that anyone's written a historically accurate telling of the story of Miami. Coral Gables is also dedicating a park in Dorothy's honor. It's going to be the first theme park in Coral Gables and named "Dorothy." Dorothy was raised in Peekskill, New York where in the 1800's, L. Frank Baum, the author of the Wizard of Oz, attended the Peekskill Military Academy for two years. When L. Frank Baum was looking for his new school, a gentleman told him to "follow the yellow brink road" and you'll find the academy.

Lonely Yet Never Alone with Guest WSJ Family & Tech Columnist Julie Jargon. Looking Back at S3E9 22:49

23 weeks ago22:49

22:49

Julie Jargon is the first 'Family & Technology' Columnist for the Wall Street Journal. Congratulations again Julie. She is also a Gen X mom. Generation X is the generation after the 'baby boomers'-mid 1960's to early 1980's, and her findings may not be too surprising. As a parent, I've often told my boys to get off their phones and/or computer for many reasons. The worst being social media and the damning effect it can have on ones self confidence. In times of need, one often thinks that reaching out to friends is the smartest and safest solution, but it doesn't always workout that way. The same holds true for adults. One has to be smart and think outside the box when trying to find new friends or different ways to gather socially. Moms are human and they have needs too, especially during these trying times of lockdown. Kids are struggling with virtual schooling, parents are either out of work or all working from home. Add a pandemic dog to the mix, so now you essentially have an additional new baby to take care of and train on top of everything else. All of this can lead to chaos in the home. So a number of mom's sought solace on social media and admit to becoming more lonely and depress. It didn't fulfill their needs the way they had hoped. That's not to say that all social media is bad, you just have to find the right fit your you. Seeing others out and about, carrying on and having fun during these past two years while you're at home doing 'the right and smart thing' can be upsetting. Jargon is spot on when saying "we should be prioritizing friendships. She continues, "research shows how important friendships are to physical and mental health." Julie has a number of wonderful suggestions on how to meet up with friends and make new ones during these trying times. I'm sure some of her suggestions will help you and give you a different perspective about how to truly use this powerful tool as social media to your benefit. And she suggests "don't be afraid to show your vulnerability. Ask for what you want and sometimes you must take the initiative."

"I'm Too Old To Be Polite" with Guest Dr. Joseph Garcia. Looking Back at S3E7 28:34

24 weeks ago28:34

28:34

My guest, Dr. Joseph Garcia, was speaking to me from the Pacific Northwest. As he said, "I'm 15 miles south of Canada and 6 miles in from the water (Pacific Ocean)." Emma was born and raised in Alabama. She moved up North to Milwaukee and started her family in her 40's. Joseph is so proud of all his mom's accomplishments and is overwhelmed at times by the number of lives she touched. One of the things that impressed Joseph the most, is that "I never saw my mother get angry, ever in my life." She was sure to never raise her voice at home, because the look of disappointment was way more effective than any shouting could possibly be. "Son, you're going to have to do twice as much, to get half as far," was one of Emma's most memorable expressions. She was trying to prepare her mixed race adopted son for the real world. In the 1950's, it could be challenging for people of color to find a significant job to help support the family. Apparently Joseph didn't really have any interest in school as a teen. "It wasn't as important as my social life", say's Joseph. "My mother would often say "son I know you can do better, you have to decide to do that. Then she'd walk away." My guest continues, "children of color were not directed toward the college prep courses back then. But I took advantage of shop class, etc. I learned how to build a house." It wasn't until seeing the rest of the world that Joseph realized how special his mother was and how fortunate he was growing up. Because Dr. Garcia was adopted and because he was mixed race, he was often bullied and teased by his classmates. HIs mom wanted to help Joseph be resilient to this intimidation so she would say to her son, "yeah you're more than one race. We picked a child who had the best qualities of all the races put together into one child." And Joseph's direct response to these pests was " "yeah my mom chose me. Your parents are stuck with you!" To this day, my guest is still shocked by the hundreds of friends and former students came to his mother's funeral when she passed at 99 years old. "They flew in from all over the country to pay their respect. She influenced so many people." More of Emma's expressions: "I'll rest when I die" "I'm too old to be polite. I'm going to tell you the truth" "Moss doesn't grow on me and I don't want it to grow on you" "You always have to do something before you can do something else. AND there's always somethin" "Son, don't pick something up before you have a place to put it down-that's not just stuff, that's people, that's things in your life, that's everything" Dr. Joseph Garcia's Books: 14 Days To Baby Sign Language Dr. Joseph Garcia's Complete Guide To Baby Sign Language Dr. Joseph's FingerSpelling Book WEBSITE: https://drjosephgarcia.com/?srsltid=AfmBOoqG2kinYPVwb4db5IiF1WF-edK-ttWiCYKK4nJ7hgYC6Upc9Mvd https://drjosephgarcia.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Her Past Does Not Define Her with Guest Psychic and Medium Sarah Strong. Looking Back at S3E6 28:40

As a young child, Sarah, native to Western Australia, didn't understand the voices and visions inside her head. She didn't understand how she knew things that a 4 year couldn't possibly know. It wasn't until she was older that she came to understand that she had psychic/intuitive abilities. "As a child, I was emotionally and verbally abused by my mother and brother," continues Strong. My mom was Bipolar/Narcissistic and that made the situation even complicated. Sarah's father didn't really play a role in her life. Now, Sarah says "he has an anti-role." "He's never been a big presence in my life. I was a wild child as a kid and growing up. If he'd been in my life when I was young, I would have rejected him anyway." "I have gifts including being a medium, empath, telepath & psychic & I channel the star beings, beings from other dimensions and many other beings of the light including the Ascended Masters, angels, fairies, loved ones on the other side, Jesus, Mother Mary and many more. During a session the channel is opened and guided by your spirit guides," affirms Strong. Ms. Strong gladly professes, "my aim in life is to bring as much joy to everyone in this blessed world as I can," that comes from someone who's had a brutal childhood, made some bad choices and picked herself up again. For more information about Sarah Strong and her work check out her website. Link is below. Below are a few positive affirmations from Sarah.

She Had A Heart Of Gold with Guest Teacher and Author Claire Sinclair. Looking Back at S3E5 29:18

26 weeks ago29:18

29:18

To say that Claire Sinclair is generous with her time, is an understatement. She's been a teacher for decades. And currently she's teaching kindergarten in the same classroom at the same elementary school she attended. What's interesting about how our conversation began is that both Claire and her mother attended Columbia High School in Maplewood, NJ and both women married their high school sweethearts, just decades apart. Claire shares stories of the similarities of she and her mom and how much it means to her that so many people from her community still hold her mother close to their heart. Claire's mother, 'Ellie,' was known as "The Duck Lady" in Maplewood/South Orange NJ. What she started many years ago as a simple race in a brook with plastic ducks has grown to raising tens of thousands of dollars annually for different organizations that help and support kids, ie Kiwanis, Scouts, YMCA, etc. Ellie's mom, Claire's maternal grandmother, passed away when Ellie was in her 20's. When Ellie's father remarried, there was no real love between she and her step mother so she moved in with one of her favorite aunts, Aunt Fay, her birth mother's sister, who ran a preschool out of her home. Ellie had interests in nursing and/or becoming a teacher but her career was cut short when it was time to start a family. Claire says "she likes to dabble in a little bit of everything, just like her mom." Claire is involved in community awareness when it comes to food insecure families. She volunteers regularly at local food pantries distributing food as well as keeping her young students involved by organizing can drives at the elementary school. As a board member for MEND, Meeting Essential Needs with Dignity, located throughout Essex County, NJ, Claire regularly sees families in need of help and like her mom, it's hard for her to say no to helping others. Claire is the administrator of a Facebook Group, 'Habitual Gratitude 365' where she shares daily prompts of things that her multitude of followers are grateful for. Again, like her mom, and as a mother, she loves to help others in need. Claire's mother passed away in 2013 but she's left an imprint on the community. Claire was lucky enough to have one last phone call from her mom and she's so happy that she picked up that call. Claire also has a park bench in Maplewood Memorial Park, which was dedicated to her mother, by the community, nestled nicely right beside the brook where Ellie started her very first Memorial Day 'Duck Race.' That's where Claire goes on a regular basis to feel her mother's support, love and guidance.

The Consequences of Being Addicted to Chaos with Guest Mentor Michael Anthony Unbroken, Founder of Think Unbroken 26:24

27 weeks ago26:24

26:24

Micheal's been working on his own personal healing journey for a minimum of fifteen years. "I walked into therapy for the first time when I was seven years old because someone had molested me," reflects Michael. Michael's been working at changing his life trajectory. It's taken years of being committed to changing his past experiences to better his future. Michael is now offering help to others. (All information is below regarding his website, free weekly meet-ups, and his social media links, etc.) This is probably the best advice anyone could give someone with addiction and abuse issues. Michael is sincere when he says "you've got to just make a decision whether or not you're going to walk this path. If you're tired of your life being a disaster, you're tired of all the things you're going through you're tired of feeling like a victim, and again I'm not taking anyone's victimhood away, I get it, but at some point you got to decide whether or not you're going to take control of your life. And that's the hardest thing that you're going to have to do in this life- is choose yourself." "Hurt people hurt people" Michael repeats. His mother, Donna, was not well and had suffered a life full of abuse, drugs and alcohol, so she was unable to "change the arc of her own life." She tried over and over again to get help. She was in and out of facilities. Said she was going to AA meeting just for Michael's sake and she just couldn't beat it. According to Michael, "she chose drugs and alcohol over her children and she ultimately destroyed everything that she touched." Michael never had his biological father in his life. But what he did have were abusive step fathers which of course, did not help the situation. This story that Michael shares is very personal. He mentioned that he hasn't really had many of these kinds of open conversation, specifically about his mother, so I appreciate Michael trusting me with his story. It's not an easy journey. "Michael often has to explain that "I don't think people know how hard this work is, to change the arc of your life." There are lots of scars, but there is hope. And it is possible to design your own destiny.

"She's My Favorite Person to Chat With" with Guest Writer and Comedian Liz Glazer 30:24

28 weeks ago30:24

30:24

Before we get into more of the story, I just wanted to mention that Liz, as a comedian performed for the sold out symposium on January 12, 2025 for "Not Your Mother's Menopause, NJ which took place in Maplewood,NJ. Allison Kalsched along with Dr. Sharon Mallone, OBGYN and best Selling Author, were guests on S6E4 of SHLTMM. I wanted to mention Stacey Futterman Tauriello and April McKenzie who are also Co-Founders of NYMMNJ. Many people were involved, working diligently to have a long list of practitioners and professionals speak on the topic of women's health, wellbeing and happiness. This is the story of mother and daughter that absolutley love one another and have a very special connection. They love to talk about anything and everything. It's heartwarming to hear these stories of their relationship and how laughter is such an integral part of both of their lives. You'll hear liz share stories about how great her mom is at landing a story and that she's got great comedic timing. Comedy and laughter can be therapeutic and I think it's been healing for both women. Liz and Toby have their own Love Language. They understand one another perfectly where as other people may not really understand exactly what they're talking about. The two women also love speaking to one another before going to bed. As a child, her mom would give Liz the option of reading a book or talking before bed and Liz would automatically choose option two of talking together. "My mom was fun but not like a cool mom. Both of my parents were over protective. But my mom loves to talk and boy does she know how to land a story," according to Glazer."If she wants to be a comedian," I support her. As a teen, Liz would have some girlfriends over for a sleepover and naturally in the middle of the night mom would come down to keep an eye on the girls so they got some sleep. Toby lays down on the floor with the girls and the only two awake are Liz and her mom. The two women wind up talking till late in the morning? "Both mom and dad grew up with Holocaust survivors as parents" shares Liz. Her mother's upbringing -was tough. On one hand her parents experienced an atrocity in the Concentration camps. They were traumatized and now living in a foreign country. Meanwhile, Toby was trying to fit in as an American on Long Island. A friend asked why is Theresa name Theresa? For fear of Anti Semitic backlash?Toby's birth certificate originally had "Theresa" listed as her first name as not to be recognized as being Jewish. Eventually they legally changed her name legally. Retail returns are a right of passage. Liz has been returning purchases for her mother for decades. Liz share "this is the story of a woman who endured sadness and trauma and found hope and laughter and a sense of calm through her own resilience, helped by friends and her family and ultimately has become the strong woman that her family members saw that she was before she saw it herself."

“After All These Years, I still Hear Her Voice in my Head” With Guests OB/GYN and NY Times Best Selling Author, Dr. Sharon Malone and Fitness Expert and Co-Founder of Not Your Mother's Menopause NJ,… 33:01

29 weeks ago33:01

33:01

Dr. Sharon Malone's book is titled "Grown Woman Talk, Your Guide to Getting Healthy and Staying Healthy." This is a book isn't filled with stats, charts and graphs. It's a book about taking care of oneself and getting support from family, friends and doctors that take the time to recognize you, your symptoms and guide you in the correct direction until you get the answers that you need. Bertha, Dr. Malone's mother, was born in 1914 in rural Alabama. Sadly Bertha died when Dr. Malone, her youngest daughter, was twelve. Out of necessity, Bertha and close relatives had to self diagnose any and all illnesses. There wasn't really any medical services nearby. It was all based on collective knowledge from family members and maybe a midwife who could help out. It was her family, a few things in a medicine cabinet, home remedies, etc that worked when one of her children was sick. "There was so much of an "ancestral collective of knowledge" that Bertha had access to, that we don't have today," reflects Malone. My guest's mother, Bertha lost her mother when she was 14 and Bertha and her sixteen year old sister had three younger siblings to raise. It wasn't an easy childhood, but it didn't stop Bertha for instilling such a wealth knowledge in her own children. I highly recommend you read "Grown Woman Talk," to get the full impact of her mother's life and Dr. Malone's philosophies regarding health. Dr. Malone explains, "medicine is not the answer for everything, but there is also a place and time for it. Don't run to the doctor every time there's a sniffle." "She'd like to see the pendulum come back to the middle," regarding the health field. Bertha was a maid in officers quarters of the near by Military base because she had to work. Plus Bertha took care of the work around the house including the cooking, cleaning, etc. Bertha was confident and calm but there are so many stories that Dr. Malone doesn't know about. In the early 20th century Bertha was very practical and conscientious especially when it came to diet, health and "necessities. Dr. Malone lovingly shares stories of her mother, her work ethic and the moral grounding and how important it was. "I still hear her voice in my head. When I do things I either think of them as either this will make my mother proud or my mother would not be pleased with this particularly behavior." Dr. Malone only had twelve formative years with her mother, but she says "I learned enough about character and what was and wasn't important in life in that short time. Don't ever doubt the the value and importance of mothers and the effect they have on their children. In those few years, I had enough to be really influenced by her about what kind of woman i wanted to be and what kind of mother I wanted to be." Allison Kalsched a women's fitness specialist is one of the Co-Founders of NYMMNJ. She was so excited to share the "significance of the community of women" that came together to not only organize this first ever symposium but the respected presenters and the 250 women that came from near and far to this event. Allison has been working exclusively with women for about ten years on their fitness and health journey. "The story hasn't changed much, remarks Kalsched, since Dr. Malone's mother was born in the early part of the twentieth century, and everything she (Bertha) learned about women's health was through a symposium of women-the benefits of being surrounded by women and how we can help one another." NYMMNJ was put together by a group of women out of the necessity of getting the help they need for their midlife health and wellbeing. Most of these women had come to Allison for training and they've been through all life changes together. Allison concurs that women some times make things too complicated and tend to put our well being on the back burner. As women age we need to work on our bodies differently than when we were younger. Taking the time to see a doctor is important, but "we have to think about the woman's body as much more complicated and much more holistic." Fifty percent of the women who walk in Allison's door complain of frozen shoulder or plantar fasciitis, they are the most common complaints. Allison believes that mainly these issues of inflammation in joints are reactions to changes in our hormones " it's all connected." NOT YOUR MOTHER'S MENOPAUSE NJ : Not Your Mother’s Menopause NJ is the creation of three Maplewood/South Orange based women who recognized a need for an event such as this. April L McKenzie started the popular Facebook group Perimenopause — It’s for Real (now renamed Not Your Mother’s Menopause NJ ) when she became increasingly frustrated at her own personal experience with finding help for her perimenopausal symptoms. Since the group’s founding in 2021, almost 800 women have shared their knowledge, resources and experiences. She has just been voted in as a board member of Let's Talk Menopause, a national nonprofit, where she will grow her involvement in women's health advocacy and menopause awareness. Stacey Futterman Tauriello is the founder of 5 Point Physical Therapy and a pelvic health specialist. After 28 years practicing pelvic health, Stacey (and her patients) were going through hormonal changes that affected their lifestyle in many ways. Allison Kalsched is a women’s fitness specialist who has worked in the Maplewood area for over 10 years. As she and her clients have aged together, she became increasingly interested in how the menopause transition affects every system in a woman’s body. She is currently studying to become a certified menopause coach. The three of us have come together to help our community forge a path through the information overload about the menopause transition. This event took place for the very first time on January 12, 2025! More information coming regarding a video of the day long event with all the presenters including Dr. Sharon Malone. DR.

Her Magic and Kindness Touched Not Only her Family But Also Those In Need With Guest Family Patterns Expert, Systemic Coach and Author, Judy Wilkins Smith 32:45

In 2024, Judy released her book, "The Hidden Power in Your DNA." She's also published "Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint," and you can get more information about placing an order on her website. The information is below. Judy immediately told me that she's not one that doesn't love her mother. She and her mother are very close and she can't say enough great things about her experience as a child. Shirley created a wonderful environment to experience as a child. "Her parents were strict but loving. Judy says she knew what her boundaries were in terms of not just outward but inward. I never felt like it was so strict, I couldn't breathe. I knew what discipline looked like." Shirley used to say "if you're going to do something, do it properly or don't bother." And Judy interprets that by saying, "there's a whole bunch of magic in doing something really, really well. Invest in yourself and it makes soul magic. Investing in yourself through that process, it makes soul magic." Judy goes on to describe how when her mum was working in the garden, she put her two daughter's in a wheelbarrow when they were little girls. Shirley lined the wheelbarrow with a blanket and filled it with snacks, drinks, books and things to play with and it is to this day one of Judy's fondest memories. Again, Shirley always created magic. Judy loves everything Disney, again because it's magical. And Judy suggests you "watch Encanto and Frozen because you are the magic, you are the imagineer, you are the one who can make it happen. You are the creator of what's possible." As we were saying goodbye to one another, Judy professed, "mothers are amazing. "And every single gift your mother ever gave you was meant for you, because it grows you the way that you can be and only you can be, don't forget it. Even when the gift doesn't look great." Hope you enjoy the episode. There's so many more wonderful stories about Judy, her mother and Judy's step daughter and their loving relationship.

In Spite of Childhood Challenges, Life Inspired Millie to be Grateful and Selfless with Guests, Creators of Millie’s Sipping Broth, Lori Peha Kezner and Llance Kezner 28:25

Both Llance and Lori share that Milly was a generous and wonderful person. "There was a real strength about her" continues Lori," and I didn't see her cry very often." Again, Milly had wonderful qualities about her even after major setbacks . Lori's mother and father had four children and raised them in the Seattle, WA area. Lori's youngest brother, is developmentally disabled which, Lori says, "it gave our family a different dynamic. All my mother wanted was the best for her kids. I think of how hard my mom worked to just give us a normal life, in spite of the challenges." So in honor of Milly, they named their soups after her. The broths came to fruition because Lori was a long time teacher and for years would bring a bouillon to work with her and add hot water for a nutritional snack. That's when Llance said, I'm going to try and make you something more nutritious and with less salt. And the creation of Millie's Sipping Broth had it's beginning. I don't know if you're familiar with the podcast "How I Built This" with host Guy Raz. Well I listened to an episode and Llance was a guest on the show. Guy also had an entrepreneur cohost, Jim Koch, Founder of Samuel Adams Beer. The two hosts talk through a business venture idea with each caller and give advice. Well Llance got some great feedback from both gentleman and things really seems to be taking off for Milly's Sipping Broth. Llance created a discount code for SHLTMM podcast listeners.

Humor and Laughter Were Gifts From His Mother, Baroness Camilla with Guest Blockchain and P2P Consultant, Roberto Capodieci 36:07

32 weeks ago36:07

36:07

He wasn't your average ordinary young child because of his knack for computer skills, coding expertise and love for video games, etc. Roberto calls himself an "IT Craftsman." He likes to know how each thing works down to the tiniest detail. He's a father, husband and wonderful co-worker. HIs clients have said, "Roberto's exceptional knowledge is only surpassed by his kindness and willingness to support others." My guest's passion lies in technology, Web 3, P2P, Blockchain and so much more. Roberto was so excited to join us and share stories of his mother Camilla who's mother was a Baroness and the title was eventually passed down to Camilla when her mother passed away. Roberto's parents were never physical when it came disciplining him. They were able to have conversations to clear any issues up. Often, Roberto's parents did his usual chores for him because it was just easier for them. Unfortunately, that "hands off attitude," had a bit of a down side to Roberto's experience. Had Roberto been accused of things, things he didn't do, his parents took other adult's word for truth and they never allowed Roberto to defend himself of any of these false accusations. He uses this experience as a big lesson especially in raising his own children. He's adamant about having these open and honest conversations with his children. False accusations have a lasting effect on all of us, especially when you're a young child. He's still waiting to get an apology from the Boy Scout leader. One big surprise for my guest was that he never had any idea that his grandmother was a baroness. He had no idea that nobility was in his genes. It was lucky for Camilla's family, because there was wealth in the family and that allowed them access to food during WWII. Roberto says that it shaped his mother's personality. "She would never throw away one gram of leftover food and use it the next day." Camilla wouldn't let anyone throw anything away, no waste, preserve everything. They enjoyed spending time enjoying simple things in life, like being out in nature and long bicycle rides in the mountains. Camilla grew up in the mainland of Venice, Italy. Both parents were into mathematics. Camilla continued her studies but didn't finish a degree. Shortly afterward she became a housewife and a full time mother. Many years later after her husband passed, Camilla became a tour guide and a teacher of English but Roberto says her English wasn't really that good so he was a little bit embarrassed. Roberto hasn't lived in Italy most of his life. He left at 18 years old and would return for holidays. Since his mom died almost two two years ago, Roberto has stopped going to Italy for Christmas. Roberto says he owes a lot to his siblings for taking care of their mom for so many years. According to Roberto, his mother would often start telling a very lengthy story so it would take yet two more hours in order to leave her apartment. Roberto and his mother both have/had a fantastic sense of humor and always find ways to be happy in life. She never really understood how Roberto could take care of himself and his businesses beginning at such a young age. Camilla had a remarkable intuitive ability to warn her son not to get involved with certain businesses or with a particular person. She was often right. She even suggested that he marry a particular girlfriend years ago. He didn't listen to his mother's advice and he definitely has regrets. linkedIn:RC10 website:RCX.IT If Roberto didn't work in computers and technology, he says he'd love to be a comedian. Humor, laughter and happiness was a common theme for he and his mom. "It's the biggest medicine to smile and laugh" Roberto reflects. "Whatever I do, I have to do it with a smile and with a joke in the middle." "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives. Jackie's guests are open and honest and answer the question, are you who you are today because of, or in spite of, your mother and so much more. You'll be amazed at what the responses are.

It's Important to be Connected to Family Even If You Are a Continent Away with Guest Nutritionist and Naturopath, Alana Bonnemann 30:20

35 weeks ago30:20

30:20

Alana says "we ate a mix of Chinese food and Australian mix of food which consisted mainly of meat and potatoes, however, mom never enjoyed cooking. Alana's mom is warm and fuzzy yet she and her mom didn't talk openly of intimate topics regarding female issues. Alana has one brother, Adam, three years older, they will always be there for one another. Alana describe's their relationship as "chalk and cheese." Lesley had studied bio chemical science and worked in hospital labs. "As a teenager mom was quite studious but also very very social. She has an ability to retain so much information about the people she's met. She inquisitive and interested when she meets someone and can retain all of this information. Lesley is very creative and logical. Lesley enjoyed calligraphy and making things, "it's a nice balance" according to Alana. Alana explains that her parents were at university with the same group of friends. "Mom was the bad-cop with strict rules, dad was fun to be with," according to my guest. " Lani" is Alana's nickname. Dad went to chiropractic school as an adult. Alana's dad had to get psychiatric help for a while when she was a child, so mom was on her own for a while taking care of the kids. "Dad was ahead of his time in that he openly searched out help on his own. Personal health is very important to him and he wanted professional help and not just to rely on being medicated", recalls Alana. "My mother is very empathic and very loyal," and being on her own was tough. my grandparents helped a lot but my mother rose to the occasion. Mom says family comes first. I'm sure this was a very tough time for my mother. Both or our parents gave us a very happy and healthy childhood, even with these ups and downs," reflect Bonnemann. Lesley's the oldest of three children. Lesley and her mother have a very close relationship. I asked my guest, "If you're having a bad day and just need someone to talk to, is your mom the first one you call? Alana responds, "I would always go to my mom but my mom always gives me the same advice "you'll be alright, you'll be ok, it'll be what it'll be . Before Alana calls her mom, she already knows what her mother's response will be. "There's always that assurance there," continues Alana. Mom can you just validate my feelings. She's always there. She's open to it as well. She doesn't block me out. I love how Alana responded to my next question regarding her mother.... "This is the story of a woman.....? And this is her response which I love." "This is the story of a woman who loves her family. She is like a mother duck who will put her wings over the people that she cares about and keeps them close to her heart. "Alana lives in Germany and her mother is in Australia and she's always, even from afar, always encouraging that we have a strong bond with all of our family members." Alana has chosen the emoji of the flamenco/tango dancer to describe her mom-"she's a bit spicy, she got a flare, she's got energy, she got jazz about her." Lesley is very active. She dragon boat peddles and plays Pickleball. "She's quite short but just a lot of energy. She keeps track of all of Alana's friends back in Australia," reflects Alana. When asked about her career and how is her philosophy of helping women is different from others, Alana says "it all comes down to purpose, perhaps. She believes that if someone is healthy and feels mentally, emotionally and physically sound we have that much more to offer others. "By elevating women to be able to feel well, then they get to impact their life and that impacts other people's lives . There's a wave of change and in perhaps in my own way, changing the world, for the better." I learned a lot from Alana. Our mind is a powerful thing and we can get pulled off track very easily. You can either go for that chocolate or sugar treat that's calling out to you or perhaps trade that in for a few minutes of meditation. Neither is bad but meditation may be more frustrating, but consider which will bring you more happiness and what are the long term benefits that we can get from doing things that benefit our health?
