Heidi Reimer's journey into motherhood sparked the inspiration for her latest work, "The Mother Act," a poignant exploration of the intricate dance between maternal devotion and personal fulfillment.

As a stay-at-home mother juggling the demands of caring for a baby and a toddler while her actor husband traveled for work, Heidi found herself at a crossroads. In a moment of quiet desperation, she contemplated the unthinkable: walking away from it all. Yet, instead of succumbing to her fleeting thoughts, Heidi channeled her emotions into a feverish burst of creativity, weaving her experiences into a literary tapestry that captures the essence of modern motherhood.

"The Mother Act" delves deep into the trials, triumphs, and sacrifices of motherhood, offering a bold perspective on the thin line between self-prioritization and self-centeredness. Through the lens of a mother and daughter duo, Heidi explores themes of identity, ambition, and the profound impact of our choices on those we love.

Tune in as we dissect the greater themes within "The Mother Act," from its feminist undertones to its exploration of the complexities of womanhood. Join us as we unravel the layers of this compelling narrative, exploring how Heidi's personal journey informed her storytelling and the universal truths it unveils about the human experience. Whether you're a parent grappling with the challenges of balancing family and personal aspirations or simply a lover of thought-provoking literature, this conversation promises to enlighten and inspire.

About Heidi

Heidi Reimer is a novelist and writing coach. Her debut novel, The Mother Act, is coming from Penguin Random House in April 2024. Her writing interrogates the lives of women, usually those bent on breaking free of what they’re given to create what they yearn for. Her front row seat to The Mother Act’s theatrical world began two decades ago when she met and married an actor, and her immersion in motherhood began when she adopted a toddler and discovered she was pregnant on the same day. She has published in Chatelaine, The New Quarterly, Literary Mama, and the anthologies The M Word: Conversations About Motherhood and Body & Soul: Stories for Skeptics and Seekers. About the Book

Set against the sparkling backdrop of the theater world, this propulsive debut follows the complicated relationship between an actress who refuses to abandon her career and the daughter she chooses to abandon instead. Sadie Jones, a larger-than-life actress and controversial feminist, never wanted to be a mother. No one feels this more deeply than Jude, the daughter Sadie left behind. While Jude spent her childhood touring with her father’s Shakespearian theater company, desperate for validation from the mother she barely knew, Sadie catapulted to fame on the wings of The Mother Act—a scathing one-woman show depicting her maternal rage.

Two decades later, Jude is a talented actress in her own right, and her fraught relationship with Sadie has come to a head—bitterly and publicly. On a December evening in New York City, at the packed premiere of Sadie’s latest play, the two come face-to-face and the intertwined stories of their lives unravel. With years of love, resentment, and misunderstanding laid bare, the questions loom: What are the costs of being a devoted mother and a devoted artist, and who gets to decide if the collateral damage is justified?

Compelling, insightful, and cleverly conveyed as a play in six acts, The Mother Act is equal parts stylish page-turner and provocative exploration of womanhood.

Coming April 30, 2024 from Dutton and Random House Canada. Pre-Order here: https://www.heidireimer.com/preorder

Podcast Episode Summary Mindfulness Transforms Michael's Life

Michael experienced a life-changing event that led him to a mindfulness practice. He initially viewed mindfulness as a hippie dippy practice, but after a health scare and a full recovery, he learned about the benefits of mindfulness from his mentor. Michael's mentor taught him that everything is neutral until labeled by the individual, a concept that helped Michael reclaim his life and identity after their health scare.

Michael's Mindfulness Journey

Michael shared his personal journey of discovering mindfulness, particularly through his experiences following a serious accident. He rejected the binary concept of labeling a day as good or bad and emphasized the importance of moments. He explained that he began practicing box breathing, a technique he learned from the Navy Seals, to manage overwhelming feelings and stress, particularly while in the hospital. He also expressed his desire to return home, where he found comfort and familiarity.

Michael's Mindfulness Journey and Sharing

Michael shared his personal journey with mindfulness, starting from his early practice in 2001 to his decision to share his experiences during the pandemic. He explained how his mindfulness practice helped him manage stress and alter his relationships with others and himself. Initially, he kept his practice private while in the corporate world, but as he transitioned into full-time mindfulness practice in 2014, he began to share it more openly, including in blog posts. His goal was to help others through mindfulness during challenging times, such as the pandemic.

Mindfulness and Reflection in Challenging Times

Michael and Liz discussed the need for mindfulness and reflection during challenging times, such as the Covid pandemic. Michael shared his concept of the "ultimate barista" (MUG - Mother Earth, Universe or God) as a metaphor for being more mindful in daily life, and suggested short, frequent mindfulness practices as a practical way to incorporate mindfulness into busy schedules. He also mentioned leading public meditations based on this approach.

Mindfulness Practices and Personal Journey

Michael shared his personal journey of using mindfulness practices, especially through challenging times such as a bike accident and the pandemic. He expressed his commitment to helping others access mindfulness in a secular and relatable way, especially those who may not have time for traditional practices. Liz agreed, noting that Michael's experiences seemed to prepare him for sharing his insights with others. Michael also mentioned his intention to offer various mindfulness practices, such as silent retreats online, to help people build a practice over time. He stressed the importance of taking small, consistent steps towards mindfulness, rather than seeking quick fixes.

Mindful Ripples: Small Actions, Big Impact

Michael shared his personal experience of being mindful and the concept of making small ripples leading to big waves. He emphasized that we are all energy and have the power to choose the kind of energy we bring into the world. Liz asked for an explanation and Michael explained how small actions can have a ripple effect and how we need to be mindful of the kind of ripple we put into the world. The conversation suggested the importance of being thoughtful about the impact of our actions.

Meditation and Mindfulness for Open Conversations

Michael discussed the benefits of practicing meditation and mindfulness, emphasizing its ability to improve focus and expand awareness. He highlighted the practice of open awareness, which involves noticing sensations in the body and the soundscape, and considering other perspectives. Michael suggested that mindfulness could help overcome divisiveness by promoting open conversations and the consideration of different viewpoints. Liz expressed agreement with Michael's points.

Surfing Life's Waves: Mindfulness and Balance

Michael shared his analogy of life being like surfing on waves, emphasizing the need for equanimity to maintain balance and make micro adjustments. He clarified that mindfulness is not just about relaxation, but about finding a sweet spot between hyperarousal and hypoarousal to better navigate life's challenges. Liz agreed with Michael's comparison, noting that being present in the moment is empowering.

Mindfulness Practice and Emotional Regulation

Michael and Liz discussed the challenges and benefits of practicing mindfulness. Michael emphasized that while mindfulness may be simple to understand, it's difficult to implement, but gets easier with practice. He highlighted the importance of recognizing distractions and returning one's attention back to the present moment. Michael also shared his approach to help people prevent negative emotions from escalating throughout the day. He stressed that while bad moments will happen, it's crucial to bring oneself back to the present and avoid fueling the situation. Finally, Michael encouraged listeners to start practicing mindfulness, even for a minute, and to view their bodies as their 'home' where they can always return to and reconnect with themselves.

App Launch and Website Information

Michael shared information about the Pause, Breathe, Reflect app, including where it can be downloaded, the affordable price, and the potential for people to join for as little as a dollar. He also mentioned the availability of further information about himself on his website, https://www.pausebreathereflect.com. Liz expressed her appreciation for the work Michael has been doing and the release of the app.

Recent data from the nonpartisan health advocacy group March of Dimes reveals a concerning trend—a 4 percent decline in hospitals with labor and delivery services between 2019 and 2020. This decline, coupled with insufficient support, leaves many new mothers feeling isolated and struggling with mental health symptoms. Renowned sober mom advocate, writer, and certified recovery coach Celeste Yvonne experienced this insufficient support personally, recounting the dismissive response she received from her OB when voicing concerns about postpartum depression. Faced with limited options—enroll in a psych ward or let it work itself out—Celeste found herself without the support she desperately needed during a vulnerable time.

In this episode Celeste sheds light on the pervasive Mommy Wine Culture, discussing how it distracts society from addressing the real issue—providing proper support for mothers in need. She explores the dangerous normalization of using alcohol as a coping mechanism for the challenges of motherhood.

From Struggle to Sobriety: Discover Celeste Yvonne's powerful journey from postpartum depression to sobriety. She unveils the reasons behind keeping her sobriety a secret for a year and the challenges she faced during this transformative period.

Seeking Support: Celeste discusses the importance of reevaluating how we support mothers at work and at home, sharing insights on creating a community that understands the struggles of sobriety and provides tools and resources for those looking to quit drinking.

Sober Mom Squad: Learn about the online community Celeste co-hosts, the Sober Mom Squad. Uncover the valuable resources and tools it offers for mothers navigating sobriety and seeking a supportive community.

Celeste Yvonne's story is not just one of overcoming personal challenges but also a call to action for a fundamental shift in how we approach maternal healthcare and support. Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that challenges societal norms and advocates for a more compassionate and understanding approach to motherhood.

CELESTE YVONNE Sober mom advocate Celeste Yvonne is a writer and certified recovery coach (IAPRC) with over 20 years of experience as a communications professional in corporate America. Her essays on parenting, the mental load of motherhood, mommy wine culture, and sobriety resonates with mothers everywhere and has been featured in the Washington Post, Good Morning America, Today Show, and Refinery 29, among others.

About the Book

When it comes to illness, sometimes the end is just the beginning. Recovery and convalescence are words that exist at the periphery of our lives – until we are forced to contend with what they really mean.

Here, GP and writer Gavin Francis explores how – and why – we get better, revealing the many shapes recovery takes, its shifting history and the frequent failure of our modern lives to make adequate space for it.

Characterised by Francis’s beautiful prose and his view of medicine as ‘the alliance of science and kindness’, Recovery is a book about a journey that most of us never intend to make. Along the way, he unfolds a story of hope, transformation, and the everyday miracle of healing.

This week, I'm excited to share an episode from the Learn with Dr. Emily podcast, a space where parents and teachers unite to support neurodivergent youth. Host Dr. Emily King is a child psychologist and former school psychologist with expertise in nurturing and educating children and teens diagnosed with autism, ADHD, anxiety, learning disabilities, and/or giftedness. As both a parent and a lifelong learner, I believe this episode holds valuable insights that you'll find truly enjoyable!


Growing up, Penn Holderness knew he was different than his friends. He had tics. He was called a spazz. He would cry really easily. In basketball practice, he would nearly chew through his shirt if he wasn't running around enough.

If he was growing up in the 2020's, he'd be treated for ADHD pretty quickly. But back in the 80's, ADHD information wasn't widespread, and it wasn't until college that he was officially diagnosed.

On today's episode, Penn talks about growing up with ADHD, finding his passion for music and performing arts, learning how to accept his limitations and lean into his superpowers, and how he would design a school for ADHD minds.

No one expects the police to knock on a million-dollar, two-story home in a picture-perfect cul-de-sac. But soccer mom Lara Love Hardin has been hiding a shady secret: she is funding her heroin addiction by stealing her neighbors' credit cards. Until it all comes crumbling down. Lara is convicted of thirty-two felonies and becomes inmate S32179. She learns that jail is a class system with a power structure that is somewhere between an adolescent sleepover party and Lord of the Flies. Furniture is made from tampon boxes, and Snickers bars are currency. But Lara quickly discovers that jailhouse politics aren't that different from the PTA meetings she used to attend, and she climbs the social ladder to become the "shot caller" and earns the nickname “Mama Love.”

When she’s released, harnessing lessons learned from women she was incarcerated with, she reinvents herself as a ghostwriter and successful agent. Now legally co-opting other people’s identities through her writing, she goes on to meet Oprah, meditate with The Dalia Lama, and have dinner with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. But the shadow of her past follows her. Shame is a poison worse than heroin—there is no way to detox. Lara must learn how to forgive herself and others, navigate life as a felon on probation, and prove that she is more good than bad.

The Many Lives of Mama Love is a heartbreaking, tender, and ultimately inspiring journey from shame to redemption, despite a system that makes it almost impossible for us to move beyond the worst thing we have ever done.

Praise for The Many Lives of Mama Love

“A suburban mom weathers addiction, jail, and parole in this roller-coaster debut memoir…Hardin mixes despair and comedy in her evocative prose: “I carefully pick through the bottom-of-purse debris until I find some small brown chips.... I don’t know if I’m smoking heroin or food crumbs or lint, but I feel the anxiety slowly leave my chest.” This redemption story feels well earned.”—Publishers Weekly

“In addition to revealing the struggles of female felons in a misogynist justice system, the author celebrates her own determination to accept herself and begin again. A courageous and inspiring memoir.”—Kirkus

“A hilarious and heartbreaking confession that will not let you go until it is done—and then it will haunt you. It will give you hope in what is possible for each of us if we allow others—and ourselves—to move beyond our shame, find redemption, and write a new, more inspiring story of our lives.”—Lori Gottlieb, author of the New York Times bestseller, Maybe You Should Talk to Someone

“Lara Love Hardin writes with the same humor and bravery that helped her navigate incarceration, sobriety and a daunting return to the community to regain her place in her children's lives. This beautifully told story flies in the face of assumptions about substance use disorder and incarcerated women and shows how community and connection help people rebuild themselves for the better.”—Piper Kerman, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller, Orange is the New Black

“A compelling and timely rebuttal to the perverse and unjust notion that people who are convicted of crimes can only be criminals. This critically important idea is essential for a nation that has been so derailed by destructive “law and order” narratives that have left us both less just and less safe.”—Bryan Stevenson, author of the New York Times bestseller Just Mercy

“The Many Lives of Mama Love is a masterclass in perseverance. This brilliant memoir is a reminder and inspiration that sometimes the only way out of suffering is to go straight through it. This book will leave you inspired and empowered to reveal your own most authentic self.”—Rich Roll, bestselling author of Finding Ultra and host of The Rich Roll Podcast

“Laced with penetrating wit, written with unsparing honesty and manifesting irrepressible resilience, The Many Lives of Mama Love is a book to intrigue, enchant, instruct, entertain and inspire readers of all ages and backgrounds. It speaks to our common human experience of suffering and the healing that can follow.”

—Gabor Maté M.D., author of the New York Times bestseller, The Myth of Normal

“Start this thrilling, heartrending, funny book, and you won’t stop. I couldn’t. From page one, I was swept into Hardin's remarkable, un-put-down-able, artfully told story of suffering and redemption. This book can help anyone who’s struggled and felt hopelessness (and who hasn’t?). shows that not only can we survive the bleakest times, but we can thrive in them and because of them.”—David Sheff, author of #1 New York Times bestseller, Beautiful Boy

“Hardin reveals who we truly are deep inside: infinite souls of limitless possibility. We are far more than the sum of what we have done and not done, what we have and do not have. In her profound, moving memoir, Hardin is honest, courageous, and challenges us to exceed the limiting definition we impose on ourselves and one another. We all can be redeemed.”—Dr. Lisa Miller, psychologist and author of the New York Times bestseller, The Spiritual Child

“This book will make you laugh, cry, and realize that everyone deserves a chance and, sometimes more than one. A powerful, poignant memoir filled with grace, enlightenment and love.”—Dr. James Doty, author of the New York Times bestseller, Into The Magic Shop

About the Book

Rob Renzetti's masterful storytelling marries dry, absurdist humor with spine-tingling horror, crafting an imaginative fantasy world that both captivates and chills. In "The Terrible Bag of Horrible Things," Zenith's world is turned upside down when an eerie bag arrives at his doorstep. Curiosity leads him into a nightmarish adventure where his overprotective sister, Apogee, is abducted by a spine-chilling spiderlike creature, plunging them both into the unsettling realm of GrahBhag. As Zenith embarks on a mission to rescue Apogee, he confronts malicious forests, blood-drinking mouths, and a sentient giant filled with sawdust. Whispers of the enigmatic Great Wurm, a sinister force controlling GrahBhag's inhabitants, add to the suspense. With the help of a quirky gargoyle, Zenith races against time to save his sister from the clutches of the Great Wurm and escape the nightmarish bag.

This week captivating children’s book author and practical philosophy teacher, Jay Aedo, joins us to explain his innovative approach to storytelling that nurtures accountability and confidence in today’s young minds.

Jay recognizes the profound impact of narratives on our history, yet he perceives an abundance of victimhood, self-blame, and fear embedded in the stories we share with our children. Through a conscious and compassionate lens, he aims to revolutionize these narratives, empowering the upcoming generation to embrace responsibility and forge their unique paths from the outset.

Discover Jay's groundbreaking project - "Conscious Bible Stories." This revolutionary endeavor reimagines age-old biblical tales, illuminating them through a lens of kindness and self-assuredness. With an emphasis on portraying God as a beacon of compassion, these stories inspire kids to stand confidently in their own identities, free from shame.

When I learned of his unexpected passing last week I felt compelled to share our episode again as a way to honor his legacy and the message of personal growth he was striving to convey to the world in his short life.

I am grateful for the opportunity to share his words, and my sincere condolences go out to his family during this incredibly difficult time. In this episode you will hear directly from Dave about his journey of self-exploration and boundary pushing, and why pursuing GROWTH provides the ultimate source of happiness and fulfillment in life.

You’re too sensitive. You’re overreacting. Grow a thicker skin. You take everything so personally.

We hear these comments all too often. There’s no denying sensitivity is surrounded by stigma. We discourage it in our children, judge it in our peers, and ultimately weaponize it in our relationships with colleagues and family members. While it’s not widely understood by the public, sensitivity is an essential human trait. In fact, nearly 1 in 3 people are highly sensitive individuals, and without them, we would not have the theory of evolution, the Declaration of Independence, or Netflix.

Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo are the force behind the world’s largest online communities for sensitive people and introverts, Sensitive Refuge and Introvert, Dear. And they’re on a mission to break the negative stigma surrounding sensitivity in their forthcoming book, SENSITIVE (on sale 2/28), unveiling the hidden power of highly sensitive people (HSPs) in our loud, fast, and too-much world.

Weaving together actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, SENSITIVE shows readers how leaning into their sensitivity can unlock a powerful “boost effect” to launch them ahead in life. Presenting the empowering idea that sensitivity gives you access to five distinct gifts, Granneman and Sólo offers the tools and insights you need to embrace this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of your life.

In this episode Jenn is revealing:

  • A clear picture of what it really means to be sensitive and what strengths sensitive people bring to the world

  • What makes the sensitive brain different — and how it’s wired to go deep

  • How the needs of sensitive people differ from those of less sensitive people and people with autism

  • How to transform one of the misunderstood gifts of sensitive people—empathy into a source of world-changing strength

  • The common misconceptions about sensitive children—and their secret advantage

  • The powerful traits of sensitive leaders, who are often the most effective leaders of all

ABOUT THE BOOK:

A paradigm-shifting look at a long-undervalued yet hugely beneficial personality trait, from the creators of the world’s largest community for highly sensitive people “Don’t be so sensitive!” Everyone has a sensitive side, but nearly 1 in 3 people have the genes to be more sensitive than others—both physically and emotionally. These are the people who pause before speaking and think before acting; they tune into subtle details and make connections that others miss. They tend to be intelligent, big-hearted, and wonderfully creative; they are wired to go deep, yet society tells them to hide the very sensitivity that makes them this way. These are the world’s “highly sensitivepeople,” and Sensitive is the book that champions them. By the creators of the world’s largest community for sensitive people, Sensitive teaches us how to unlock the potential in this undervalued strength and leverage it across the most important areas of our lives: in friendships and relationships, the workplace, leadership, and parenting. Through fascinating research and expert storytelling, Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo show readers that the way to thrive as a sensitive person is not to hide their sensitivity, but to embrace it—and they demonstrate how to do that in each area of life. Weaving together actionable advice, relatable anecdotes, and the latest scientific research, Sensitive shows readers how leaning in to their sensitivity unlocks a powerful “boost effect” to launch them ahead in life. It hands them the tools and insights they need to thrive as a sensitive person in a loud, fast, too-much world. A powerfully validating, destigmatizing, and practical book, Sensitive plants a gently fluttering flag in the ground for sensitivepeople everywhere. This inspiring book has the power to change—once and for all—how we see sensitive people, and how they see themselves.

ABOUT THE AUTHORS:

Jenn Granneman and Andre Sólo are the force behind the world’s largest online communities for sensitive people and introverts, Sensitive Refuge and Introvert, Dear. Granneman is also the author of The Secret Lives of Introverts, and has been featured in HuffPost, The Washington Post, the BBC, Oprah Daily, BuzzFeed, Glamour, and more. Sólo has been featured in HuffPost, The Washington Post, Vogue, MSNBC, The Telegraph, and numerous podcasts. Both are regular contributors to Psychology Today and Forbes.

About BAD VIBES ONLY

In a series of essays that span her childhood to the present, Nora introduces us to her mind and her world while inviting us to closely observe our own. We meet the people that challenge, question, and make Nora reflect on her own life, habits, and personality: her children, and their homework meltdowns, job searches, and online personalities; her college friend Kathleen, who now lives as a cloistered nun; and her uncle, a philosopher who has never used the internet (gasp!). Nora celebrates the joys and challenges of a blended family, and the surprises brought to bear by her approaching “early” middle age.

BAD VIBES ONLY is not only a response to a society that tells us to live, laugh, and love—it’s a reminder that in a world where we are more connected to and observed by our peers than ever before, we still deserve the freedom to
be ourselves.

Nora McInerny was voted Most Humorous by the Annunciation Catholic School Class of 1997. Since then, she’s written the bestselling memoirs It’s Okay to Laugh (Crying Is Cool Too) and No Happy Endings, as well as The Hot Young Widows Club and Bad Moms. She hosts the award-winning podcast Terrible, Thanks for Asking, has spoken on TED’s
mainstage, and has contributed to publications like The New York Times, Time, Slate, and Vox. She is very tall.

In today's world of synthetic pharmaceuticals, scientists and laypeople alike have lost a connection to the natural world. But in ignoring the potential of medicinal plants, we lose out on the opportunity to discover potentially life-saving medicines.

In this episode, ethnobotanist Dr. Cassandra Quave discusses her groundbreaking work at Emory which backs up the argument in her new book, THE PLANT HUNTER: that the key to preventing another global health crisis could very likely be in plants and not synthetic compounds.

In THE PLANT HUNTER, Dr. Quave also shares her incredible life story which brought her to this groundbreaking field. As a person born with multiple congenital defects of her skeletal system, Quave had to have her right leg amputated at 3 years old. She spent so much time in the hospital as a child that she ended up falling in love with medicine and grew up volunteering in the ER, when other kids her age were at football games or school dances.

Since then her research has brought her to the forests of the remote Amazon, the murky swamps of southern Florida, isolated mountaintops in Albania and Kosovo, and volcanic isles of the Mediterranean, often with children in tow. THE PLANT HUNTER weaves together Quave’s personal experiences with medicine, infection, disability, scientific discovery and the experience of being a woman and mother of three in a male-dominated field with a fascinating description of how plantsand microbes interact, how antibiotic resistance evolves, and how Quave is working to figure out how we may be able to overcome it by taking the focus away from synthetic compounds.

As a mother of a child with ADHD, author and Board-Certified Holistic Health and Nutrition Practitioner Dana Kay knows firsthand the struggles that come with parenting a neurodiverse child. She also knows the freedom that is possible once parents learn to reduce ADHD symptoms.

In this episode Dana shares shares her personal journey of parenting a child with ADHD, as well as her unique and proven strategies for reducing symptoms naturally.

More than 6 million children in the United States have been diagnosed with ADHD with more than 60% of those children solely relying on medication for treatment. Following her son’s diagnosis, Dana did what many parents do: began her son on medication. Unfortunately, while helping her son focus, the medication also led to increased anxiety, weight loss, and sleepless nights. Eventually, the side effects became too big to ignore. Leaning on her training in holistic health and nutrition and all of the research she could find, she and her family changed course to an all-natural approach that has enabled her son to thrive. Dana’s son is now in middle school, he is happy and thriving and has not been on medication for years.

In her new book, Hope In The Heartache, Kelly Speck shares how she navigates the challenges of being the matriarch of a five-person family, while also caring for her special needs child who requires round-the-clock care. In this episode learn how how one family not only survived, but thrived, driven by determination and the never-wavering power of faith. About Hope In The Heartache “He was born blue; he was barely alive. All the air had been sucked from the room.”

Kelly Speck had planned for her newborn son, Bennett, to be placed on her bare chest for his first attempt at breastfeeding. Instead, he was whisked away to the NICU. It was, as Speck writes, “the kickoff of a nightmare journey.”

The doctors said the end was near for Bennett. Was there any hope?

Hope in the Heartache, Kelly Speck’s true-to-life and immaculately detailed memoir, tells of Bennett’s fight to survive and his family’s journey through grief and exhaustion in hospitals, churches, and insurance offices. The Specks never lost faith, and in their devotion to God and family, they learned what matters most: hope.

This week actor and comedian Eugene Mirman discusses his incredible body of comedic work and his documentary It Started As A Joke which chronicles the 10 years of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, an independent festival started on a lark by the Bob’s Burgers’ alum.

As explained by comics like Kumail Nanjiani and Kristen Schaal, Mirman is essentially a founding father of the Brooklyn comedy scene (he's been called the original “influencer”), and the festival’s success is a testament to his impact. But, true to its title, there’s a bit more on the documentary’s mind; we’re also introduced to Mirman’s wife, Katie Westfall Tharp, and learn how the two fell in love, had a son, moved to Cape Cod, and fought through Tharp’s cancer diagnosis and later recurrence.

Tragically, Tharp died almost a year after It Started As A Joke premiered at SXSW. In its depiction of her kind spirit, the film now doubles as a bittersweet tribute to a loved one gone too soon. Ultimately, this is a candid conversation about doing work that makes you happy, pushing through the inevitable hardships and learning curves that follow, and having the courage to love with everything you have despite the pain of loss.

It Started As A Joke is available on Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, FandangoNow, Sony, and Microsoft Xbox.

At a time when online media has created a virtual firehose of information and opinions, parents and teachers worry how students will interpret what they read and see. Amid the noise, it has become increasingly important to examine different perspectives with both curiosity and discernment. But how do parents teach these critical thinking skills to their children? My guest Julie Bogart is the creator and owner of Brave Writer, the hugely popular online writing and language arts program and podcast, and the fast-growing weekly habit called Poetry Teatime.

In this episode Julie and I discuss practical ways for teaching your children to boldly examine how they think and to become thoughtful consumers of information.

In this episode we discuss:

  • How being well-read gives a false impression of being well-educated. In fact, reading can be dangerous to quality critical thinking.
  • The importance of curiosity in nurturing a critical mindset.
  • Video games are high quality tools of skillful thinking, particularly when played 7-10 hours per week. Studies show that non-gamers are more at risk of negative outcomes than gamers. Gaming doesn’t have to be so negative!
  • Multiple choice testing has caused a negative ripple effect, removing childlike wonder by 6th grade and creating a culture of single identity answers and zero-sum online discourse stakes.
  • And much more!

The Presumptive Benefits for War Fighters Exposed to Burn Pits and Other Toxins Act would cover a wide range of cancers and respiratory illnesses as presumptive conditions, including: asthma, that was diagnosed after service, head cancer of any type, neck cancer of any type, respiratory cancer of any type, gastrointestinal cancer of any type, reproductive cancer of any type, lymphoma cancer of any type, lymphoma cancer of any type, kidney cancer, brain cancer, melanoma, chronic bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, constrictive bronchiolitis or obliterative bronchiolitis, emphysema, granulomatous disease, interstitial lung disease, pleuritis, pulmonary fibrosis, sarcoidosis.

The Supporting Expanded Review for Veterans in Combat Environments (SERVICE) Act would require the VA to conduct mammograms for all women who served in areas associated with burn pits and other toxic exposures regardless of age, symptoms or family history.

In 2019, Congress passed a law entitled “Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act.” This law was a long overdue mechanism to recognize Agent Orange exposure (and its related long-term health problems) in veterans who were on naval ships rather than on land during the time period of use of this herbicide on areas of Southeast Asian during the Vietnam war.

In this episode of Motherhood Unstressed I am speaking with author and filmmaker Sasha Sagan about her new book "FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE" which was inspired by her viral essay for The Cut, “Lessons of Immortality and Mortality From My Father, Carl Sagan”. Sagan is the daughter of late astronomer/author Carl Sagan and writer/producer Ann Druyan.

   **Some of the topics we discuss:**

   * How becoming a mother prompted Sagan to tap into her secular upbringing in the hopes of finding a non-religious worldview to pass on to her child
  • The power of secular rituals to process and understand the passage of time
  • What it was like growing up as the daughter of Carl Sagan and Ann Druyan
  • Nurturing a childlike sense of wonder as an adult for greater perspective and happiness

QUOTES

"Those questions, our place in the universe, reckoning with our own mortality, those deep philosophical questions about existence, there's just nothing that's more interesting to talk about, to wrestle with"

"So much of the book is a love letter to my parents... they both were comfortable with asking a question to which we do not know the answer and looking for evidence"

"Everything we consider traditional is new on the scale of human history...so I think there's a way to carve out the parts that are meaningful to us without feeling so beholden that we're in a position to go through the motions about things we don't really connect to"

About the Author:

Sasha Sagan has worked as a TV producer, filmmaker (she co-wrote and produced a film with best friend Kirsten Dunst, which was screened at Tribeca and closed Cannes in 2010), editor, writer, and speaker in New York, Boston, and London. Her essays and interviews on death, history, and ritual through a secular lens have appeared in New York Magazine, O Magazine, Lit Hub, Mashable, The Violet Book, and elsewhere. She regularly speaks on ways science can inform our celebrations and how we mark the passage of time.

FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE is a moving tribute to a father, a newborn daughter, a marriage, and the natural world—a celebration of life itself, and the power of our families and beliefs to bring us together.

PRAISE FOR FOR SMALL CREATURES SUCH AS WE:

“Read her work; you’ll have a deeper appreciation for your every step, every bite, and every breath.”

Bill Nye, The Science Guy

“This lyrical exploration of how we can find beauty in the natural world comes from the daughter of Carl Sagan, so it's no wonder Sasha's reverence for the cosmos shines through on every page. It's part memoir, part history, part reflection, and all a wonderful gift for your favorite reader.”

Good Housekeeping

“Wonderful. . . An elixir for people facing personal crises in a secular world.”

Wall Street Journal

“A look at life, the cosmos, and finding magic in our daily lives.”

New York Post

“Like her parents, Sasha has the passion, brilliance, and ability to spark curiosity, skepticism, and hope, through the written word. Open mind required. No faith necessary.”

—Boing Boing

“[Sagan's] view is wide in scope and she draws connections between many fields of science, history, and pop culture. She's not afraid to speculate about the future, including the future of humanity. Her poetic, engaging prose will resonate with many readers, as will her refreshingly breeze and open-minded approach. While some writers today dwell on threats to humanity as if an apocalypse is already upon us and all our children will live horrible lives, Sagan suggests that, regardless of what's to come, we should make the most of the little moments we have on our little corner of the pale blue dot.”

Undark Magazine

“A gorgeous collection of essays. . . Birth, anniversaries, fasting, atonement: She approaches these subjects with wonderment and a generous window into her extraordinary family history. . . Sagan writes with stunning clarity and absolute joy. . . For Small Creatures Such As We is a marvel. It dazzles and comforts while making us consider our own place in the vast universe.”

BookPage

“From birthdays to funerals to the changing of the seasons to lunar cycles, [Sagan] thoughtfully explores how to blend science and spirituality. An eye-opening book for those who might question traditional religious celebrations but feel connected to the community, rituals, and comforts they provide, this is a refreshing, intelligent examination of faith, religion, and the many wonders of science worthy of celebration.”

Booklist, starred review

“In Sagan's astonishingly beautiful and wiser-beyond-one's-years debut, her lineage bursts forth on each page like a literary and scientific big bang. . . [Sagan writes] 'We can be sure that our ancestors, all of our ancestors, contemplated Earth's place in the universe with awe.' For Small Creatures Such As We very much deserves to be read in the same way. . . A wondrous journey exploring how rituals and celebration connect to life's greater meaning.”

Shelf Awareness for Readers

“Welcoming and tender. . . Charming and appealing, this thoughtful work serves as an uplifting, life-honoring celebration of human existence.”

Publishers Weekly

In this episode, Ozone Therapy expert Micah Lowe explains in simple terms how ozone therapy improves your body’s intake and use of oxygen, activates your immune system, increases energy and stamina, and improves cognitive and athletic performance.

     Ozone is one of the most misunderstood oxidative molecules, but in reality it is an incredibly strong oxidant that alters your body at a cellular level and helps your mitochondria make more antioxidants. Tune in to find out how it helps heal chronic conditions and optimize health.

Some of the topics we discuss:

   * Ozone therapy for immune system support, athletic recovery, wound and skin care, pain relief, increasing energy and decreasing brain fog
  • How high-quality ozone generators and ozone kits (like show favorite Simply 03) work, and how to incorporate it with the rest of your health routine

QUOTES

"So, there’s a whole world of ozone that you can dive into. There’s ozone for municipalities. There’s ozone for wine making. There’s ozone for pools. There’s ozone for hot tubs. There’s ozone for aquariums, and then there’s medical ozone. They’re all different."

"Ozone is actually similar to exercise in that it signals a pathway called the NRF2 pathway, where it’s actually good for you, so, this can be good in terms of athletic performance because it’ll help people to recover faster. It’ll help them to diminish the effects of those workouts that are really tough.”

The female body shouldn’t be a medical mystery, unfortunately for most of modern medical history it has been. In fact, women weren’t required to be in clinical research until 1993, and women are diagnosed on average 4 years later than men for the same disease. That’s why my guest this week, Priyanka Jain, created Evvy, an at-home test that aims to close the gender health gap by discovering and leveraging overlooked biomarkers in the female body - starting with the vaginal microbiome.

Some of the topics we discuss:

  • The importance of the vaginal microbiome as a marker of female overall health
  • The existence of the gender health gap and how to begin to solve it with data
  • Metagenomic sequencing and analysis for indications of fertility and infertility

QUOTES

"I think every woman has their own version of the story of being misdiagnosed, or under diagnosed or misunderstood at the doctor's office"

"Women weren't required to be in clinical research until 1993...this is actually a data problem."

"As we started doing research on where to start, the vaginal microbiome became so clear that it was such an important biomarker and marker of health generally in the female body that we had never looked at before"

"The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, person and family history, belief systems, and often nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications. None of these are you."

This week I’m so excited to be speaking with 2x NY Times bestselling cookbook author Elyse Kopecky to talk about her new book, co-authored with famed Olympic runner Shalane Flanagan, aptly named "RISE & RUN". It's a take-back-the-morning manifesto, complete with over 100 nutrient-dense recipes and the tools to establish an impactful morning routine. Shalane and Elyse’s message of ritualizing self-care—and fueling those moments with healthy, delicious meals—will resonate and leave you with some fun new ideas for your morning routine.

Nutrition coach and chef Elyse and Olympic silver-medalist Shalane are known for their healthy, high-fuel, go-to recipes. But a lot has changed for Shalane and Elyse since their last book, Run Fast. Cook Fast. Eat Slow, became a bestseller in 2018. Now both in their forties, Elyse is training for her first marathon, and Shalane is running 6 marathons in 43 days!

In RISE & RUN, they share how their routines have changed, and what they do to stay fueled and centered in their busy lives. These peeks behind the curtain—and their foolproof recipes—are what make Shalane and Elyse trusted resources for so many people trying to squeeze in time for their passions and keep their bodies healthy.

Some of the topics we discuss:

  • The struggles of finding balance in a busy life (kids, careers, relationships) and still prioritizing yourself, and what works for Elyse
  • How to clear your head and focus on the here and now with your kids
  • The top recipes that keep their bodies fueled without taking too much time to make
  • Recipes that fuel the whole family (even the picky eaters)

QUOTES

"Outside of running more miles, the single greatest thing athletes can do to improve their performance (and their long-term health and happiness) is to learn to cook."

"We know that how you start your morning impacts your entire day and most parents start their day frantic...if I start my day rushing it impacts my kids"

"When you drop your nervous system into a slower state, you can absorb more nutrition from your food"

This week writer and director Amy Koppelman joins me to discuss her new film "A Mouthful of Air", starring Amanda Seyfried, based on her powerful novel of the same name. Within the narrative of "A Mouthful of Air" is an argument about the nature of maternal depression—its causes, cures, and the price it exacts from its victims. This brutally honest portrayal of family and self illuminates the power and complexity of the human psyche and lends hope and support to those who may be currently struggling.

QUOTES

"Depression, real depression, it's an illness, no different from asthma and diabetes"

"Nobody tells you how scary it is to be a mom...it forces you, whether you want to or not, to confront things from your childhood...giving birth is physically rough on the body but it is also emotionally jarring"

About "A Mouthful of Air"

A Mouthful of Air is a compassionate and wrenching portrait of Julie Davis, a young wife and mother torn between the love she feels for her family and the voice in her head that insists they’d be better off without her.

When it was originally published almost twenty years ago, A Mouthful of Air was compared to seminal feminist works such as Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “A Yellow Wallpaper” and Sylvia Plath’s "The Bell Jar". It is a powerful, tragic Statement on motherhood, family, and survival. Within the narrative of A Mouthful of Air is an argument about the nature of depression—its causes, cures, and the price it exacts from its victims. With spare, elegant prose, this brutally honest portrayal of family and self illuminates the power and complexity of the human psyche.

Amy Koppelman is a graduate of Columbia's MFA program. Her writing has appeared in The New York Observer and Lilith. She lives in New York City with her husband and two children, and is the author of the novels, "A Mouthful of Air" and "Hesitation Wounds".

Heart and mind coherence is a state of unity and integration of mind, body and spirit –when our thoughts, intentions and actions seamelessly align. It not only has powerful effects on our mental and emotional health, stability and resilience, but also on our physical health, affecting heart rate, immune system, sleep quality and overall energy levels.

QUOTES

"When I meditated for the first time..I experienced that calm, that peace, that probably I was looking for without realizing I had been looking for [it]"

"Just two weeks of [meditation] practice reduced the release of cortisol in the body by almost 56%, increased the production of serotonin, and increased the quality of sleep by almost 200%"

"Life becomes a game when you learn to shake hands with this void...it helps us chop the patterns, the conditioning of the mind...it helps us embrace the reality as is, and walk our way to a different ending"

About Kute Blackson Kute has been recognized as the “Mindfulness guru that billionaires go to for advice” by Inc Magazine. See full article here.

A beloved inspirational speaker and transformational teacher, Kute Blackson offers a fresh, bold look at spiritual awareness for a whole new generation. Born in Ghana, West Africa, Kute’s multicultural upbringing as the child of a Japanese mother and a Ghanaian father has spanned four different continents. His unique lineage lay the foundation for his approach to breaking down barriers and unlocking an individual’s true gifts and greatness.

Kute quickly learned that the “outside-in” approach favored by so many in the personal development space had to become an inside-out approach. So he decided to create his own method—a process that liberates the individual and the true self at the core and then pushes those gifts outward into the universe. This helps the individual get in touch with who they really are. It is a process of breaking free—so that the individual can live, give, and share the truest expression of their self. This is what Kute calls “Liberated Living.”

In this conversation CEO and co-founder of Wavelength, Sarah Stites, and I discuss the power of changing your thoughts and behaviors around food, and the toxicity of diet culture, weight stigma, and body shame. Tune in to learn how changing how you think can improve your relationship with food for good!

Sarah was diagnosed with PCOS and pre-diabetes as a teen, gaining 100lbs within a year while struggling with dieting.

Instead of addressing the root causes of her eating habits, doctors and diet programs shamed her for her weight and lack of “willpower.” That’s when her mom, a scientist with a PhD and a masters degree in nutrition science stepped in. She helped her understand the science and psychology behind her eating choices, without guilt or shame. Sarah changed her eating by working with her body and mind, reversed her pre-diabetes, and lost 150lbs. That was ten years ago.

Together, Sarah and her mom created Wavelength — a holistic, compassionate, science-forward approach for anyone struggling with eating choices.

QUOTES

"The behavioral, the metabolic, the neurological patterns that underly our eating choices are complex, but it has nothing to do with the quality of your character, discipline, or willpower"

"By addressing the root causes of our eating behaviors we can fundamentally heal our relationship with food, change our health and change our stars"

Author and Climate Movement Organizer Daniel Sherrell joins me this week for a expansive conversation on climate change: not what it is or how we solve it, but the emotional terrain of the crisis, and how it feels to imagine a future—and a family—under its weight. In his new book, "Warmth", a fiercely personal account written from inside the climate movement, Sherrell lays bare how the crisis is transforming our relationships to time, to hope, and to each other. Tune in to learn how best to navigate these disheartening times, and parent with hope and purpose in an environmentally threatened world.

Connect with Daniel Sherrell at https://www.danielsherrell.com

Buy the Book: At once a memoir, a love letter, and an electric work of criticism, WARMTH goes to the heart of the defining question of our time: how do we go on in a world that may not?

The dreaded sex talk, how soon is too soon? Experts in the field of sex education tout that we should be talking to our kids about their bodies as soon as they can talk. Yet many parents are not having those conversations. In fact, a 2019 study stated that 63% of the teen boys reported that their parents had never talked with them about contraception, and 44% of the teen girls said the same. But talking to our kids about sex shouldn't elicit dread, it's actually a great way to begin an ongoing conversation about relationships, body parts, boundaries, respect, privacy and consent.

In this episode I'm speaking with author and book editor Rachel Greener about her new book "Making a Baby", an unabashed and unapologetic portrayal of who we are, how we came to be, and how families are made. It answers the age old “Where did I come from” question as well as all young reader’s questions about their life in full detail, from conception to birth, and how they were able to join their family.

MAKING A BABY shows that since there’s more than one way to make a baby, there is more than one way to make a family – whether babies are born through fertilization, IVF, IUI, adoption, or surrogacy; proving above all that families can be made from anywhere and with anyone.

Imagine having energy and vitality right up to the very end. Imagine not ending up frail, decrepit, or unable to bring your body back to balance because you didn’t think it—aging—would happen to you? This week Dr. Andrew Steele is on the show to discuss his new book, "Ageless: The New Science of Getting Older Without Getting Old" and the exciting new scientific discoveries that address what he calls "the greatest humanitarian issue of our time."

In this episode you will learn what aging actually is, and how scientists are studying every aspect of the body - DNA, mitochondria, senescent cells, stem cells, our immune systems, even longevity genes to help increase the lifespan of animals tenfold - all in an effort to forestall or even reverse our decline.

In this episode of Motherhood Unstressed, I’m excited to once again be talking to Dr. Steven Gundry, renowned heart surgeon, celebrity doctor, medical researcher and a New York Times best-selling author.

You may remember Dr. Gundry from his previous appearance on the show, episode #114, or by his best selling book, “The Plant Paradox: The Hidden Dangers in “Healthy” Food That Cause Disease and Weight Gain.” He’s a leading expert on the lectin-free diet and stresses that we have the ability to heal ourselves through nutrition when certain dietary obstacles are removed.

He’s now taking a fresh look at one of the top health issues plaguing Americans - fatigue. His new book “The Energy Paradox" offers a revolutionary plan for boosting energy and revitalizing mental and physical stamina.

Listen in on this informative discussion to learn about what you can do to ditch fatigue and start feeling your best today!

"Beginners is ultimately about more than learning. It's about the possibilities that reside in all of us."
--Daniel H. Pink, New York Times best-selling author of When, Drive, and To Sell is Human

The best-selling author of Traffic and You May Also Like gives us an inspirational journey into the transformative joys that come with starting something new, no matter your age**

Why do so many of us stop learning new skills as adults? Are we afraid to fail? Have we forgotten the sheer pleasure of being a beginner? Or is it simply a fact that you can't teach an old dog new tricks?

Inspired by his young daughter's insatiable need to know how to do almost everything, and stymied by his own rut of mid-career competence, Tom Vanderbilt begins a year of learning purely for the sake of learning. He tackles five main skills (and picks up a few more along the way), choosing them for their difficulty to master and their distinct lack of career marketability--chess, singing, surfing, drawing, and juggling.

What he doesn't expect is finding himself having rapturous experiences singing Spice Girls songs in an amateur choir, losing games of chess to eight-year-olds, and dodging scorpions at a surf camp in Costa Rica. Along the way, he interviews dozens of experts to explore the fascinating psychology and science behind the benefits of becoming an adult beginner. Weaving comprehensive research and surprising insight gained from his year of learning dangerously, Vanderbilt shows how anyone can begin again--and, more important, why they should take those first awkward steps. Ultimately, he shares how a refreshed sense of curiosity opened him up to a profound happiness and a deeper connection to the people around him--and how small acts of reinvention, at any age, can make life seem magical.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The 14 essential conversations to have with your tween and early teenager to prepare them for the emotional, physical, and social challenges ahead, including scripts and advice to keep the communication going and stay connected during this critical developmental window.

Trying to convince a middle schooler to listen to you can be exasperating. Indeed, it can feel like the best option is not to talk! But keeping kids safe—and prepared for all the times when you can't be the angel on their shoulder—is about having the right conversations at the right time. From a brain growth and emotional readiness perspective, there is no better time for this than their tween years, right up to when they enter high school.

Distilling Michelle Icard's decades of experience working with families, FOURTEEN TALKS BY AGE FOURTEEN focuses on big, thorny topics such as friendship, sexuality, impulsivity, and technology, as well as unexpected conversations about creativity, hygiene, money, privilege, and contributing to the family. Icard outlines a simple, memorable, and family-tested formula for the best approach to these essential talks, the BRIEF Model: Begin peacefully, Relate to your child, Interview to collect information, Echo what you're hearing, and give Feedback. With wit and compassion, she also helps you get over the most common hurdles in talking to tweens, including:

  • What phrases invite connection and which irritate kids or scare them off
  • The best places, times, and situations in which to initiate talks
  • How to keep kids interested, open, and engaged in conversation
  • How to exit these chats in a way that keeps kids wanting more

Like a Rosetta Stone for your tween's confounding language, FOURTEEN TALKS BY AGE FOURTEEN is an essential communication guide to helping your child through the emotional, physical, and social challenges ahead and, ultimately, toward teenage success.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

The author of Middle School Makeover, her work has been featured in the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, The Christian Science Monitor, Redbook, Time, and People. Her leadership curriculum for middle schoolers, Athena's Path and Hero's Pursuit, have been implemented at schools across the U.S., and her summer camp curriculum is offered at more than 20 camps each summer. She lives with her family in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"Alcohol is the 3rd leading cause of preventable death in the United States after obesity and cigarette smoking"

"The big question is, would my life be better without alcohol?"

"We live in an alcohol-centric society, if anything it's abnormal not to drink"

"Until recently we haven't had much language to talk about mental and emotional wellbeing...until then what do you do if you are depressed or have anxiety? Why would we not reach for this substance anytime we don't like the way that we feel?"

Life irrevocably changed when Miguel Sancho and Felicia Morton discovered that their son, Sebastian, had chronic granulomatous disease (CGD), a disease which increases the body’s susceptibility to infections caused by certain bacteria and fungi. In this episode learn how their personal crises taught them how to manage chaos through various modalities of self-help, including faith, therapy, and meditation, and how you can incorporate those hard-earned lessons of survival into your life. Their story reminds us that although life can be chaotic, with the right mindset and the right tools, we have the ability to persevere.

Felicia Mortonis the president and CEO of Morton PR, a full-service communications firm. Felicia has an extensive background in public relations, managing clients for Manning, Selvage & Lee and GolinHarris in Manhattan. Felicia has also worked as a journalist in the United States and Europe. Her articles have appeared in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal,The Providence Journal, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter, The Boston Globe, The Toronto Star, and The Prague Post. Felicia has a Bachelor of Arts degree from Columbia College and a combined Master’s degree (Communications & MBA) from Boston University.

Why advocacy?

Felicia Morton has dedicated her career to bringing people and ideas together to raise awareness for primary immune deficiencies. When her son, Sebastian, was diagnosed with Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) in 2012, she found it difficult to find reliable information, medical professionals, opportunities for patients to connect, especially while her son was in and out of the hospital with infections. She was determined to use her skills to bring resources together and make it available to others in similar crisis.

To that end, Felicia became:

  • Founder and Executive Director of the CGD Association of America (CGDAA), a Sec.501c3 organization, whose mission is to advocate on behalf of patients, carriers, and families in the CGD community by providing clear, accurate, and independent news and information about CGD and advancing CGD research.
  • Was named as Patient Advocate Liaison for CGD for the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC), funded by the National Institutes of Health, which consists of 43 centers in North America whose shared goal is to improve the outcome of patients with rare, life threatening, inherited disorders of the immune system

  • CGDAA listed below as a resource:

  • https://www.rarediseasesnetwork.org/cms/pidtc/Get-Involved/Patient-Advocacy
  • https://rarediseases.info.nih.gov/diseases/6100/chronic-granulomatous-disease

  • Was named as CGD Patient Organization for the National Institutes of Health National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences - GARD Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center

  • Listed with NORD, National Organization of Rare Disorders

Why innovation for the patient population?

In addition to providing a central clearinghouse of information for CGD patients, families and physicians, this work is innovative because the CGDAA will soon start an IRB approved Principal Investigator driven study using the database of carriers that Felicia created to study the symptoms and diseases experienced by X linked female CGD carriers. It has only recently been discovered that X linked carriers, long thought to be asymptomatic, actually experience medical problems linked to their genetic status. This research may lead to earlier diagnosis of treatable illness.

How does candidate inspire others?

Felicia inspires, educates and supports in diverse ways including:

  1. Be The Match stem cell donor drives.

Stem cell transplant is a curative option for patients with CGD, however, many patients lack a suitable donor because of ethnic diversity. Felicia's Finnish background mixed with her husband's Costa Rican background made finding a donor for her son difficult. She organized others to run stem cell donor drives to sign people to the Be the Match Registry to increase the available pool of donors, including drives at the NIH and Georgetown University.

  1. Presenter at Conferences

Felicia has represented the CGD community by speaking at the Rare Diseases Clinical Research Network (RDCRN) conference. She also spoke at the Rare Disease Awareness Day sponsored by Orchard Therapeutics.

  1. E-newsletter and blog

Felicia writes the CGDAA e-blog and newsletter that is sent electronically to the community.

  1. CDGAA Mentoring Network of Volunteers

Felicia recruits, trains and mentors the volunteers who in turn mentor families.

  1. Family support

Perhaps, most importantly, Felicia is always directly available to speak with, and reassure, patients, parents, caregivers and carriers affected by the CGD mutation. She inspires and empowers families to take an active role in getting quality care for their family members.

What challenges have they overcome?

Starting a not-for-profit from scratch with no funding is a daunting challenge. Felicia completed an arduous and extensive application to the Pro Bono Clearing House Organization in the hope of being chosen and matched with a law firm to help her set up a 501c3 organization. Her application was deemed 'compelling' and in 2019 she successfully matched, and after many months, succeeded in achieving 501c3 status.

The next challenge was to bring together medical experts to join the team as advisors. Harry Malech, MD, Chief, Genetic Immunotherapy Section, Deputy Chief, Laboratory of Clinical Immunology and Microbiology, National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease, National Institute of Health volunteered to lead the CGDAA Advisory Board and recruit other top CGD physician specialists in the US.

Other member of her board include:

  • Kathleen Sullivan, MD, PhD, Chief of the Division of Allergy and Immunology, Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia
  • Jennifer Leiding, MD, Immunologist and Allergy Specialist, Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital
  • Rebecca Marsh, MD, Clinical Director, Primary Immune Deficiency Program and Co-Director, Diagnostic Immunology Laboratories, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital
  • Mary Dinauer, MD, PhD, Fred M. Saigh Distinguished Chair of Pediatric Research, Professor of Pediatrics, Washington University School of Medicine - St. Louis Children’s Hospital

Fundraising is another challenge that is ongoing, however, two large pharmaceutical companies have already supported the new organization.

Finally, and most personally, Felicia worked as a CGD advocate, which formed the building blocks of the CGDAA, while seeing her son through multiple hospitalizations for infections until he received a successful stem cell transplant done at a large institution in NC. She is an X-linked carrier of CGD, the daughter herself of an X-linked mother, a wife and owner of her own PR firm.

If you are like many adults, you've experienced issues coping with all that the pandemic has brought upon our lives. But children are also being severely impacted. Even before the pandemic started, unprecedented rates of childhood anxiety and depression existed, with one in five children under the age of eighteen diagnosed with a mental health disorder. More kids are affected by mental illness than asthma, peanut allergies, diabetes, and cancer combined. Post pandemic, those numbers are expected to climb even higher.

In this episode I sit down with leading child and adolescent psychiatrist and president of Child Mind Institute, Harold Koplewicz, MD, to discuss his timely new book, THE SCAFFOLD EFFECT: Raising Resilient, Self-Reliant, and Secure Kids in the Age of Anxiety (Harmony Books; On-Sale February 2, 2021). He shares a powerful and clinically tested new parenting strategy that will teach competence and resilience in everyday life, as well as prevent and counteract the general anxiety and emotional fragility prevalent in children and teenagers today. Grab a pen, this episode is full of helpful and transformative information!

Has the practice of prayer, meditation and gratitude helped you get through this past year? If you're like many mothers, the answer is unequivocally YES. In this wide ranging conversation with best selling faith writer Sarah Bessey, we discuss her new book, "A Rhythm of Prayer" and how during this time of upheaval, stress, and burnout, it's our open communication and connection to God and to each other that has the power to change everything. Featuring writing by Amena Brown, Barbara Brown Taylor, Lisa Sharon Harper, and more.

GET THE BOOK

For the weary, the angry, the anxious, and the hopeful, this collection of moving, tender prayers offers rest, joyful resistance, and a call to act, written by Barbara Brown Taylor, Amena Brown, Nadia Bolz-Weber, and other artists and thinkers, curated by the author Glennon Doyle calls “my favorite faith writer.”

It’s no secret that we are overworked, overpressured, and edging burnout. Unsurprisingly, this fact is as old as time—and that’s why we see so many prayer circles within a multitude of church traditions. These gatherings are a trusted space where people seek help, hope, and peace, energized by God and one another.

This book, curated by acclaimed author Sarah Bessey, celebrates and honors that prayerful tradition in a literary form. A companion for all who feel the immense joys and challenges of the journey of faith, this collection of prayers says it all aloud, giving readers permission to recognize the weight of all they carry. These writings also offer a broadened imagination of hope—of what can be restored and made new. Each prayer is an original piece of writing, with new essays by Sarah Bessey throughout.

Encompassing the full breadth of the emotional landscape, these deeply tender yet subversive prayers give readers an intimate look at the diverse language and shapes of prayer.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Sarah Bessey is the author of the popular and critically acclaimed books Jesus Feminist, Out of Sorts: Making Peace with an Evolving Faith, and Miracles and Other Reasonable Things. She is a sought-after speaker at churches, conferences, and universities all around the world.

When Maggie Smith, the award-winning author of the viral poem "Good Bones", started writing daily Twitter posts in the wake of her divorce, they unexpectedly caught fire. Now, in her new book "Keep Moving: Notes on Loss, Creativity, and Change" she's writing about new beginnings as opportunities for transformation. Like kintsugi, the Japanese art of mending broken ceramics with gold, Keep Moving celebrates the beauty and strength on the other side of loss. There is perhaps no better book for our times.

In 2016 her poem “Good Bones” went viral internationally and has been translated into nearly a dozen languages. Public Radio International called it “the official poem of 2016.”

Who doesn’t need a friend—and a book—like that?” —Glennon Doyle

“Every once in a long, long while a book comes along that challenges and changes everything. Keep Moving is exactly that book: an ingenious synthesis of poetry, proverbs, journaling, lyrical prose, belles-lettres, psalms, meditations, and aphorisms. It defies any tidy definition, and thus, practically defines a new genre that gives everyone—no matter what walk of life—the gift of pausing to reflect on what we didn’t know we already knew about ourselves because we never had words for it, until Maggie Smith. These pages give us a unique and poetic opportunity to recognize the joys within our failures, the peace within our terrors, the simplicity within our complex lives—and then some! It is sure to become a classic that will be read for decades to come.” —Richard Blanco

“In Keep Moving, poet Maggie Smith takes what William James called a ‘torn-to-pieces-hood’ and knits it into something new and surprising and fortifying. I’m so grateful for the clarity, compassion, and wit in these pages. This is a book that will change you, a book you will want to give to someone you love. I’ve never read anything quite like it.” —Lucy Kalanithi

Praise for Good Bones “Smith’s voice is clear and unmistakable as she unravels the universe, pulls at a loose thread and lets the whole thing tumble around us, sometimes beautiful, sometimes achingly hard. Truthful, tender, and unafraid of the dark, the poems in Good Bones are lyrically charged love letters to a world in desperate need of her generous eye.” —Ada Limón

“In her wondrous new poetry collection, Good Bones, Maggie Smith has much to tell us. And she does so with such a clean, aching clarity of lyricism that I discover now frequently exhausted human touchstones freshly, with real surprise. It’s Smith’s dynamically precise and vivid images, and her uncanny ability to find just the right word or action to crack open our known experience, that make Good Bones an extraordinary book. Maggie Smith demonstrates what happens when an abundance of heart and intelligence meets the hands of a master craftsperson, reminding us again that the world, for a true poet, is blessedly inexhaustible.” —Erin Belieu

Holocaust Survivor William Harvey is adamant that if you want to have a good life, you can't feel sorry for yourself or “you will destroy your life.” He adds, "You come to this world with nothing and you leave the world with nothing but the impact and the good that you did for others".

This episode was an honor to record. I hope it awakens you to the beauty and divinity of your own life, positively shifts your current perspective, and inspires you to reach out and help someone less fortunate than you today.

Born in 1924 in the Czech Republic, William Harvey’s graduation in 1943 was quickly followed by deportation to Auschwitz on a 4-day cattle car ride. He was later transferred to Buchenwald and freed when the Americans liberated the death camp in April 1945. Harvey went on to build a successful life as a cosmetologist in Beverly Hills working with some of Hollywood's biggest stars like Judy Garland and Mary Martin.

"There is a destiny which makes us brothers; none goes his way alone. All that we send into the lives of others comes back into our own." Edwin Markham

Quotes from the Episode

“Happiness is the way you perceive things in life, we all have to go through difficulties, we have to overcome it."

"To help someone who is less fortunate than you, that is the greatest thing you can achieve in life."

"Theres certain things in life you cannot help, but if you feel sorry for yourself, you destroy your life."

"I look forward to getting up everyday to help people."

"You come to this world with nothing and you leave the world with nothing but the impact and the good that you do for others."

"Life is beautiful and all the beauty in life is free."

"Enjoy every day..all the material things in life don't bring happiness...life is what you make it, you have to make it yourself."

"Everyone has a special attribute that can contribute to a happy life, if they use their brain and think."

"Enjoy every single day that God gives you, and don't ask questions, there are a lot of things with no answer."

Brittany Watkins is literally changing lives with her research and work into Emotional Freedom Technique ("EFT") Tapping. EFT uncovers and severs the root cause of emotional eating, or any anxious response to a stimulus, and immediately heals the practitioner. Specializing in weight loss and emotional eating disorders, Brittany has taught over 100,000 women to self-heal through trauma-informed therapy.

Through years of practice she has discovered the seven emotional weight loss blockers that are commonly experienced by women, and through that understanding helps students to physically disrupt their own deep-rooted traumas in the brain, and cure their cravings and emotional eating - often in only a few sessions.

Forget years of therapy, the secret to healing is already within you, and Brittany has the map.

Brittany is offering a special gift to Motherhood Unstressed podcast listeners, save 50% when you use the code unstressed for her Think and Thin Tapping Program. In this program you will follow an easy step-by-step process that will eliminate food cravings and stress eating PERMANENTLY.

Practicing kindness is an essential step in helping to repair a world that has grown to be more divisive, lonely, and anxious than ever. But what actually makes you a kind person?

In this episode, speaker and author Houston Kraft and I discuss his new book Deep Kindness: A Revolutionary Guide for the Way We Think, Talk, and Act in Kindness. He's sharing how to take an honest look at the gap between our belief in kindness and our ability to practice it, and how to put our good intentions into actionable results. I love this episode - it's going to dramatically shift the way you talk about and act with kindness.

Get the book: Deep Kindness is perfect for anyone who believes in a kinder world and recognizes that there is a lot of work to do before we achieve it.

Everyone winters at one time or another, perhaps it is a result of illness, death in the family, the pressures of work…or a pandemic. Wintering is a period of isolation when you feel like you fall between the cracks of life and feel blocked from progress.

In this episode, best selling author Katherine May shares tips on how to embrace the winter of our lives in small ways and how to recognize the process and engage with it mindfully. She shows us how to slow down, pay attention to moments of transition, and learn to prepare for the next phase. By embracing winter and really listening to its messages, we can learn about ourselves and also, more importantly, we can learn to look more kindly on other people’s crises.As Katherine says, “we may never choose to winter, but we can choose how.” I loved this empowering and thoughtful conversation, and I know you will too.

WINTERING: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times by Katherine May is a brilliant narrative nonfiction book rich with nature writing, poetry and mythology, philosophy, and memoir – all elegantly exploring ways the natural world tries to teach us, over and over, to take a season of deep rest and retreat. Liz Gilbert loved the book saying it is, “every bit as beautiful and healing as the season itself. . . . This is truly a beautiful book.”Wintering is a contemplative, hopeful, consoling book. "I recognized winter," she writes. "I greeted it and let it in...Nature shows that survival is a practice."

Here is a video of Katherine talking about Wintering: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0a5APKn8u4I She has a beautiful way of telling her story and also has started a podcast sharing other peoples’ experiences called The Wintering Sessions. Connect with Katherine on Instagram @katherinemay_

After working in some of the most prestigious restaurants in the world, Louisiana-born Chef and author Ryan Rondeno developed his signature style of flavor and execution which garnered him celebrity clients like Will Smith, Common, Ben Affleck, P. Diddy and many more.

In this episode, I ask Chef Ryan about the kind of mentality it took to achieve success in the highly competitive world of culinary arts, and how he balances his "What's next" mentality with appreciating the small wins along the journey. We also discuss what advice he has for anyone looking to expand their family's palate and bring in more flavor to home cooking (hint: his collection of Creole spices and rubs is one easy way!)

About Paul Selig

Aside from having taught hundreds of acclaimed channeled workshops internationally, Paul serves on the faculty of The Omega Institute, The Kripalu Center and the Esalen Institute. Also a noted academic, Paul serves on the Board of Trustees at Goddard College and served on the faculty of NYU for over 25 years.

Paul was born in New York City and received his master’s degree from Yale. A spiritual experience in 1987 left him clairvoyant. As a way to gain a context for what he was beginning to experience he studied a form of energy healing and began to “hear” for his clients. Described as “a medium for the living,” Paul has the unique ability to step-into and “become” the people his clients ask about, often taking on their personalities and physical characteristics as he “hears” them telepathically. His unique abilities have been documented in the Biography Channel series The Unexplained and ABC’s Nightline.

July 30th is the United Nation's World Day Against Human Trafficking, an issue that is far more widespread than you may realize.

Human trafficking includes selling people for sexual exploitation, forced labor or marriage, and even for organ harvesting. Every year, thousands of people become victims of this heinous crime, some in their native countries and others while traveling abroad. Many of these people are children.

In this special bonus episode I'm speaking with O.U.R. Rescue Director of Outreach Jani Dix about the incredible work Tim Ballard's organization is doing in conjunction with law enforcement to free and heal children from sex trafficking, and how you can join in the fight too.

Surprisingly, in the United States, trafficking occurs and then the child goes home at night--it's not what you'd typically imagine or what you've seen in the media.

This is an incredibly important conversation that has the potential to save innumerable lives from slavery: Listen in, learn what to look for in your own community, and learn how YOU can help in the fight against people who actively seek to harm children.

Take the free trafficking course to educate yourself on what to look for in your own community.

Now after having helped all of us feel just a little more Parisian, Sophie and her best-friend/co-author Caroline de Maigret are back with their incredible follow-up, Older, but Better, but Older which dives into the pros and cons of aging for the modern woman. This episode is about loving yourself where you are and accepting the inevitability of aging but also, and perhaps most importantly, about not allowing age to be an excuse for living a full and beautiful life.

Phyllis Grant is an IACP finalist for Personal Essays/Memoir Writing and a three-time Saveur Food Blog Award finalist for her blog, Dash and Bella. Her latest book is Everything Is Under Control: A Memoir with Recipes. She has cooked in world-renowned restaurants, including Nobu, Michael's, and Bouley. Her essays and recipes have been published in a dozen anthologies and cookbooks, including Best Food Writing in both 2015 and 2016, and her work has been widely featured in everything from The New York Times to Food25.

Her memoir is beautifully written and uniquely structured, tracing her appetites, desires, passions, and recognizable parenting challenges. I loved our conversation - and was especially grateful for Phyllis's willingness to be vulnerable and real about motherhood. It also inspired me to explore the art of cooking more--she says the best learning comes from stepping back from recipes and getting creative with what you have in your kitchen! How perfect is that insight right now?

Is it possible to start having stronger and harder orgasms within weeks? Quite simply, yes--and it all has to do with pelvic floor tone. The pelvic floor influences all aspects of women’s health, such as posture, bladder control and sex. MaryEllen Reider is the co-founder of the women’s wellness device Yarlap that uses neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), to tighten and tone pelvic floor muscles.

In this episode we discuss what the pelvic floor is, why it is so important for overall health, and that with the appropriate tools and techniques it is possible to achieve better orgasms, tone and control.

What is often surprising to hear is that weakening starts in your 20's. By the time we are in our 30s, those muscles might be atrophied, causing self-taught pelvic floor exercises (like Kegels) to be impossible to do. Keeping those muscles toned and healthy are key to maintaining bladder control and intimacy wellness. It effects a myriad of issues including depression, sexual dysfunction, and anxiety.

From an award-winning documentary to international fame, the Siegel family had it all. Jackie Siegel, known as the “Queen of Versailles,” and her family made international headlines for building their Florida mega-mansion with the hope that it would be the biggest house in the country.

Ten years later, their dreams came crumbling down when the financial crisis hit and brought construction to a halt. But that was nothing compared to the nightmare that would follow. In June 2015 their daughter Victoria died of an overdose of methadone and antidepressants. In this interview, Jackie explains why she has made it her mission to speak out against the opioid crisis in America and how she plans on keeping the memory of her daughter alive through changes in legislation, her books, and the Victoria's Voice Foundation.

This week I am sitting down with actor and comedian Eugene Mirman to discuss his incredible body of comedic work and his new documentary It Started As A Joke which chronicles the 10 years of the Eugene Mirman Comedy Festival, an independent festival started on a lark by the Bob’s Burgers’ alum.

As explained by comics like Kumail Nanjiani and Kristen Schaal, Mirman is essentially a founding father of the Brooklyn comedy scene (he's been called the original “influencer”), and the festival’s success is a testament to his impact. But, true to its title, there’s a bit more on the documentary’s mind; we’re also introduced to Mirman’s wife, Katie Westfall Tharp, and learn how the two fell in love, had a son, moved to Cape Cod, and fought through Tharp’s cancer diagnosis and later recurrence.

Tragically, Tharp died this past January, almost a year after It Started As A Joke premiered at SXSW. In its depiction of her kind spirit, the film now doubles as a bittersweet tribute to a loved one gone too soon. Ultimately, this is a candid conversation about doing work that makes you happy, pushing through the inevitable hardships and learning curves that follow, and having the courage to love with everything you have despite the pain of loss.

It Started As A Joke is available now on Amazon, Google Play, Vudu, FandangoNow, Sony, and Microsoft Xbox.

How do you survive losing something that is a critical part of your identity? Whether it's a person, a job, or some other part of who you are, managing the grief that follows is one of the hardest things we can face. My guest this week is author and anthropologist Long Litt Woon. Her incredibly moving book, "The Way Through the Woods", is a cathartic missive about two journeys--one into the kingdom of fungi, and another into the landscape of grief. Often when we're faced with loss, we are desperate for relief, in Woon's case her salvation was found step by gentle step in the woods.

Books about bereavement can be unbearably painful, like bereavement itself. Grieving is so personal, so all-consuming, so frightening; it can force you close to the edge of insanity. Listen to learn how Woon found her way out, and the powerful lessons she learned along the way.

Resentment is the #1 sign that we are living without boundaries. Do you know how to set boundaries and make them stick or are you are constantly giving in to others to keep the peace, and feeling terrible in the process? Most women don't know how to set boundaries because they don't know what to say, and are adverse to conflict. Author, speaker and coach Nancy Levin explains how to set boundaries in every area of our lives--with partners, children, and within our businesses, and in the process shows you of the best ways to love yourself and set yourself free. In this episode you will learn: * How to have tough conversations and get what you want * Methods for maintaining boundaries (including writing + practicing your boundary scripts) * How to deal with continued bad behavior, and * How knowing your non-negotiables sets you up for success (IRL and online)

Preorder her new book at nancylevin.com/newbook and receive the free video workshop "Zen and the Art of Boundary Maintenance-- Holiday Edition" And join Nancy and Gabby Bernstein LIVE in NYC on January 9th for the launch of her new book! More info at Nancylevin.com/nyc

What does child sex trafficking look like, and how can you fight and prevent it from happening in your city? Human trafficking is happening all over the world, but the more you know about it, the more empowered you become to combat it.

This week I'm speaking with O.U.R. Rescue Director of Outreach Jani Dix about the incredible work her organization is doing in conjunction with law enforcement to free and heal children from sex trafficking, and how you can join in the fight too.

Surprisingly, in the United States, trafficking occurs and then the child goes home at night--it's not what you'd typically imagine or what you've seen in the media.

This is an incredibly important conversation that has the potential to save innumerable lives from slavery: Listen in, learn what to look for in your own community, and learn how YOU can help in the fight against people who actively seek to harm children.

Participate in O.U.R. Rescue's Giving Tuesday to receive a special gift!

Take the free trafficking course to educate yourself on what to look for in your own community.

"It's OK to sweat, it's not OK to stink." Founder of the incredible natural deodorant line, "Shining Light", Sara Salter is on the show explaining why you need to ditch pore-blocking + toxic aluminum deodorant and go for a natural version instead.

I reached out to Sara after trying her products and noticing how much they actually worked---I had to find out more about her and her company and why she decided to start it. I was thrilled to discover that she wanted something natural for her son, who upon reaching puberty started to smell like a stinky man rather than a boy. Not surprisingly, often it takes wanting to make a better choice for our children that helps us all lead healthier lives.

In this episode you'll learn why natural deodorants are so much better for you than traditional, and why children especially need a more natural solution to stinky sweat.

This week on the Motherhood Unstressed podcast, learn key secrets and strategies for success in any endeavor from best selling author Shaan Patel. After founding Prep Expert SAT & ACT Preparation, Shaan won a Shark Tank deal with billionaire Mark Cuban and was able to scale his impact on the world, while still earning his MD/MBA from Yale and USC, and working as a dermatology resident physician at Temple University. The lessons Shaan shares from his own upbringing, namely, "education above all else" speak not only academic achievement, but what it takes to truly be successful in any field, you or your children decide to pursue. This is a powerful conversation on the importance of resilience, faith, dedication, and above all hard work. Download for free wherever you listen to podcasts.

About Shaan

Shaan Patel knows what hard-work looks like. He is the founder/CEO of Prep Expert, winner of a $250K Shark Tank deal with billionaire Mark Cuban, a bestselling author of numerous books, received his MBA from Yale and MD at USC, is currently a dermatology resident physician at Temple University and was recently named Inc. 30 Under 30 for 2019.

Shaan is a first-generation Indian-American whose parents immigrated to the U.S. in the early 1980s. He grew up in “seedy part” of Las Vegas in his parent’s budget motel, attended inner-city public schools in the worst school district in the nation (40% drop out rate), and was clueless about standardized tests. After spending hundreds of hours studying for the SAT he was able to raise his score from average to perfect - a feat achieved by only 0.02% of all high school students. His life completely changed because of this, he was admitted into prestigious universities, received $250 million in scholarships and even met the President.

This pivotal moment helped Shaan create Prep Expert, a 6-week course to help high school students achieve and have control over their own dreams. Prep Expert is the nation’s fastest growing test preparation provider, because as Shaan says “if you change your scores, you can change your life.”

This week I'm sitting down with 4x New York Times best selling author Dr. Steven Gundry to talk about the devolution of diet and nutrition in America, the destruction of our food supply due to powerful corporations and acquiescent researchers and politicians, and what you can do to protect yourself and your family so that you can live a long and healthy life.

Specifically, RoundUp (glyphosate), patented as an antibiotic, is sprayed on virtually everything we eat, essentially destroying the gut biome leading to leaky gut and ill health. As bleak as the food supply is in this country, there ARE things you can do to give yourself and your children a fighting chance--listen in to learn how.

I walked by my bedroom mirror and marveled at my outfit – I was wearing my husband’s old frat t-shirt and rolled up boxer briefs. In the pursuit of comfort, I had let the wheels fall off. This realization sent me on a journey to find comfortable, flattering sleepwear, but the options available didn’t match the modern woman I was or wanted to be.

I realized that even though you spend over one-third of your life in bed, sleepwear tends to be the most undervalued part of your wardrobe. It became my mission to make sure that women could feel both comfortable and confident.

30+ year Stage 4 Cancer Survivor, James Templeton, reveals how he used an alternative approach to treatment, and why a cancer diagnosis doesn’t have to be a death sentence. Resources:

Purchase his book, "I Used to Have Cancer" here

If you or a loved one has cancer, there’s reason for hope:     More than three decades ago, when I was just 32 years old, I was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma. Doctors offered me few treatment options. And even less chance for survival.

That was the beginning of the fight for my life. I pored over stacks of books and medical papers. I dove into alternative health approaches. I met with cancer survivors to hear their stories. I turned the world upside down looking for something, anything, that would give me an edge over cancer. And you know what? I found it.

The thing is though… none of what I found came from traditional medical books or doctors. Instead, my discoveries were rooted in natural approaches and therapies. I’ve since named these discoveries “The Universal Keys to Health”. And if you or a loved one are living with cancer, or you want to cancer-proof your life, then I want to share these “Universal Keys to Health” with you.

I’ve created the Templeton Wellness Foundation to bring you breakthrough strategies, tools, and inspiration to help you beat and prevent cancer. I’m living proof that cancer does not have to be a death sentence. And I’m honored to walk with you on your own healing journey.

rich & REGULAR is a lot of things.

It’s a blog, a mindset, a voice and a wake up call to name a few. You might even say it’s our love story but if we’re really lucky—it’ll be a movement. One that reverses trends, empowers families and changes lives for the better.

Born out of a bottle of wine overlooking nature’s beauty, the idea for rich & REGULAR came to us in 2015, but the real work started years earlier.

We met as co-workers in 2012 and clicked immediately. When we weren’t working, we traveled, had tons of fun and slowly began to build a life together. With no blueprint to follow, we somehow gained the courage to tackle some really difficult conversations about money. The outcome was a multi-year plan to eliminate debt from our lives and to build real sustainable wealth.

Between 2013 and 2018, we paid off $200K in debt,boosted our net worth and learned a lifetime of lessons along the way.

So here we are, ready to share and to serve as an example of two regular a$$ people living good…on the low. Thanks for visiting our site. The best is yet to come.

Learn why going vegan is incredible for not only your health, but the health of your children and the planet. So much of what we learn about nutrition in school and through campaigns by the meat and dairy industry is wrong. In a country where the most prescribed drug is Prilosec, clearly we are not eating in alignment with what our bodies actually need and want.

In this episode you will learn the incredible health benefits of going vegan, and how it can eradicate world hunger, global warming, and gross abuses against animals. Whatever your core interest in veganism may be, you will definitely want to hear what Amy has to say.

Amy Jean Davis

Amy Jean Davis is an animal rights advocate and the Founder of LA Animal Save (www.laanimalsave.org), the Los Angeles chapter of the global Save Movement. Originally from a small town in Indiana, Amy came to Los Angeles in 2008 as a top 24 Finalist on season 7 of American Idol. Davis started an animal sanctuary in the Los Angeles, California area. In 2015, she completed her certificate in Plant Based Nutrition from eCornell, and in 2016, Amy founded LA Animal Save, which is now the largest chapter of more than 600 Save groups worldwide.

About LA Animal Save:

Founded in 2016 by Amy Jean Davis, LA Animal Save (http://laanimalsave.org) is the largest chapter of the 600+ Save Movement groups around the world. The Save Movement (www.TheSaveMovement.org), which began in Toronto, Canada, bears witness to the suffering and oppression of pigs, cows, chickens and other farmed animals en route to slaughter. Using a love-based, community-organizing approach, volunteer animal rights advocates hold regular, peaceful vigils at slaughterhouses, live markets, and factory farms in order to be present in the face of animal injustice, raise awareness about the plight of farmed animals, help people to become vegan, and continue to build a grassroots animal justice movement based on the principles of animal equality and freedom.

Early one morning while commuting on a busy highway to work, Scott happened upon a Tim Ferriss podcast interview with Mr. Money Mustache on the topic of financial independence and retiring early (FIRE). He was so electrified by the concept that he and his wife could actually quit the rat race and create a life on their own terms, that he knew he would have to learn everything he could about it. His experience as a filmmaker enabled him to document their journey in the film + the book "Playing with Fire" and empower others to do it too. 

This is a story of how one couple redefined their values, refocused their priorities, and decided to create a life on their own terms through financial independence. Through their journey, you will see how to you can do it too.

“There are moments in life when something happens, life alters, and your entire perception transforms instantaneously.” For Erin, that moment was 22 years ago when she was holding her stillborn son in her arms, just after giving birth to him. “Tears were streaming down my face as I looked at his beautiful body and realized his body was still there, but he wasn’t. I realized he wasn’t his body; he is a spiritual being. One can conceptually understand that we are not these bodies, but I got it on an entirely different level, my entire world crumbled, delivering me to spiritual revelation.” 

This experience sent her on an intense spiritual quest traveling around the world, discovering truths and working with gurus and spiritual masters learning how to live and embody the truths that had been revealed.

In this episode, you will learn how to tap into your own divine spiritual well, and how to align with your personal truth so that you can live life to the fullest, be happy, and have the greatest positive impact in the world.

Catrina Hermenet is a blogger and mom of three living in the midwest. Her sense of humor about the ups and downs of motherhood is what attracted me to her, but it was an article she wrote on her experience with Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex (D-MER) that let me know I needed to interview her on the show. D-MER is a condition where moms feel anxious and sad the moment their milk lets down while breastfeeding. It's not the most well-known condition, which is why her sharing her story is so vital.
