On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "BIG WORDS For Kids!!" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, and a bit of humor, Paul played his interview with ANDREA WILSON WOODS.
ANDREA WILSON WOODS, an award winning and bestselling author, former teacher/professor, and current patient advocate, joined us to discuss when she became the "parent" of her 8-year-old sister, and then led her through her final days after her sister was diagnosed with terminal stage IV liver cancer at age 15. We also discussed her book on the subject, "Better Off Bald: A Life in 147 Days".
FROM HER WEBSITE:
"Andrea Wilson Woods is a writer who loves to tell stories, and a patient advocate who founded the nonprofit Blue Faery: The Adrienne Wilson Liver Cancer Association. Andrea is the CEO and co-founder of Cancer University, a for-profit, social-benefit, digital health company. With Cancer U, Andrea synergizes her talents of coaching, writing, teaching, and advocacy. For over ten years, Andrea worked in the education field as a teacher and professor for public and private schools as well as universities. Andrea obtained her master’s degree in professional writing from the University of Southern California; her nonfiction writing has won national awards. Her new book, a medical memoir titled Better Off Bald: A Life in 147 Days, is a #1 Bestseller on Amazon in multiple categories.
During the seven years she raised her sister, Andrea worked as a primary and secondary school teacher, and she acted in film, television, and theatre. Andrea received her certification in fundraising with a focus on institutional development from UCLA Extension. Andrea is also an ICF Associate Certified Coach and a 500-Hour Certified Yoga Teacher. She graduated cum laude from USC with a B.A. in humanities. After graduation, Andrea gained custody of her then eight-year-old sister Adrienne.
Andrea started Blue Faery because she doesn’t want another person to lose a loved one to HCC, and she wants the world to know Adrienne's spirit, strength, and courage. Andrea started Cancer U because she wants to change the cancer paradigm in the United States and she believes to ignite change you have to go to the source: the patient. She wants to teach cancer patients and caregivers how to become advocates for themselves so they can change their cancer journey."

On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "My Son Has Surpassed Me!" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, and a bit of humor, Paul played Part 2 of his interview with JAN STEWART.
JAN STEWART is a Toronto mother of two children who have multiple and complex mental health disorders. She is also a mental health governance expert; and she is currently the Chair of Kerry's Place Autism Services. We will discuss all of the above, as well as her book, "Hold On Tight - A Parent's Journey Raising Children With Mental Illness".
FROM HER WEBSITE:
"Jan Stewart is a highly regarded mental health governance expert and advocate. Growing up in New York and moving to Toronto after marrying a Canadian, she was untouched by major adversity throughout her youth and imagined a similar, happy life for her children. In her raw and emotional book Hold on Tight: A Parent’s Journey Raising Children with Mental Illness, she candidly describes the shock she and her husband faced when each of their two young children started exhibiting troubling behaviours.
While it took time to find the right doctors, diagnoses and treatments, Jan’s roller coaster journey with the children’s multiple mental health disorders taught her to insist on an integrated partnership approach with all those involved and propelled her to help parents of children with similar challenges. Her book gives readers invaluable insights and advice to become empowered and inspires them to persevere and never give up. It also importantly serves to better educate health care professionals on the parental perspective, as well as families, friends, educators and employers of those affected by these challenges.
While Jan takes great pride in her business career, the majority of which was spent as a senior Partner with the global executive search firm Egon Zehnder, it is her mental health governance experience that has been the most meaningful to her. This includes currently Chairing the Board at Kerry’s Place Autism Services, Canada’s largest autism services provider, and previously serving as Vice Chair at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health. She also served on the Parent Advisory Council at Mass General Hospital’s Department of Neuropsychopharmacology, the Advisory Council of Access Open Minds, the Advisory Board of LIGHTS, and the Board of Directors of the former Ontario OCD Network. In addition, she co-founded the OCD Parent Advisory Group at SickKids Hospital."

FROM HER WEBSITE:
"For more than 30 years I have been educating, coaching, motivating, and empowering teens, and adults. It is my passion, my heart’s work, and my life’s contribution. I believe who we are, and what we do should be in alignment. When this happens the whole world benefits--especially our families.
It comes down to what you value, and what values you desire to instill in your children, and your family's foundation. I value the skills that create healthy, meaningful, and thriving lives. I value the skills that honor health, and well-being. I value the skills that inspire acts of courage, kindness, and positive change. I value the skills that create community, connection, and compassion.
I value skills that nurture innate strengths, and talents. I value the skills that ignite new ideas, and possibilities for a better tomorrow. I value the skills that bring people together to collaborate, create, and co-inspire. Mastering these skills creates a path for a healthy and thriving life at any age.
Life is everyday. You are everyday. Family is everyday. By teaching life skills, and making self-competency a priority, we give the most important gifts to our children: Self-worth, self-sufficiency, and the competency to build a healthy future.
We all have strengths, gifts and talents. One of mine has always been empowering, and inspiring others to recognize their own.
I can identify people's untapped potential, and am joyfully driven to empower them to step into their own greatness. I have the ability to see, understand and articulate the bigger picture for others--I believe this is the cornerstone of my success. I'm a truth-teller, an illuminator of productive pathways, and fresh perspectives.
With my personal life experiences, educational accomplishments, and professional background all surrounding empowerment and coaching, your family's hearts are in very good hands. I have a B.A. from San Diego State University, and a M.A. from University of Denver in Speech Communication; I'm a certified Hypnotherapist; and an expert lecturer on building stronger families at Canyon Ranch Wellness Resort in Tucson, Arizona.
I worked at Apple for almost a decade in the Education Marketing departments which ultimately ignited my entrepreneurial spirit, and desire to educate others through self-empowerment. Over the last 30 years, I've created four businesses empowering others to become competent in self-care, self-worth, and life skills. From my Chin-Up Personal Fitness Training, to an Award-Winning Self-Empowerment DVD series for children, to team building, executive and life coaching, and now Life Launch focusing on nourishing and empowering families for a lifetime."

FROM HER WEBSITE:
"Using humor and wisdom has helped me balance being a wife, mom to four kids (including surprise triplets), founder of three businesses, an award-winning bestselling author and a parenting strategist.The parenting strategist part, none of us ever saw coming.
As a one-time reluctant parent and reformed yeller, I had much to learn about raising children. Turns out, those with the most to learn can sometimes become the best teachers.
I know how it feels to catch cat naps at red lights and stress myself silly. I intimately understand the overwhelm that parents live daily. I have been you!
Ask Mom Parenting evolved after years of mentoring other parents who sought ways to make parenting easier, more effective and less thankless.
My partnership parenting techniques have become sought after for quickly bringing harmony into your home. If I can emerge triumphant, so can you… and I’ll show you how!"

FROM HER WEBSITE:
"It feels like only yesterday when my children were little and I would have the never ending battles of asking my children to do something, only for them to ignore me.
I would yell. I would plead. I would scream. I would give time-outs. I would spank I would ask in a soft, kind voice.
No matter what I tried...NOTHING ever worked. Sound familiar?
It took the complete crumble of my marriage, a short stay in a battered women's shelter with my 3 children, and new parenting counsel from professionals to make me realize that something had to change.
I realized that in order for my life to change...I had to change.
That is when I was introduced to The Positive Parenting Philosophy...and my life from that point forward forever changed.
And guess what? Yours can too!
Through a combination of YouTube content, Facebook groups, self paced workshops, and private coaching I can help you…
- Have your children following your directions, without yelling.
- Dramatically decrease tantrum times
- Go grocery shopping happily with your children by your side
- Have your children doing tasks without you reminding them 100 times.
- Transition your kids from one location to another with ease
- Have children in bed by 8:30pm, without a fuss
And those are just to name a few!
If you are a parent who is at the end of their rope with nowhere to turn, ask me about finding peace & balance in your home again through positive parenting methods"

AVIGAIL GIMPEL, currently living in Israel, and the author of "HyperHealing", will join us to discuss her results from over twenty-five years of research, development, and application of cutting-edge intervention programs for her clients, children, and hundreds of students, with regard to ADHD. She will be presenting hands-on skills and information that we have never heard before!
FROM HER WEBSITE:
"I am a College lecturer, practitioner in private practice, parent educator, and author of HyperHealing. Married for 20 happy glorious years, and a mother of six beautiful children, (ages 7-19).
I began my career as a special education teacher in an inclusion classroom, with children of all ability levels, unique gifts and challenges. I loved all my students, but the most intriguing were the students with “special energy”, the ones who were trying to drink from a waterfall instead of a glass. The ones who dreamed all day, but then said something that no one else thought of. The ones whose engines ran on instant gratification, and had not developed habits and routines to focus their explosive energy. They were creative, funny, out of the box and… struggling. They had trouble with follow-through, organization, social skills, routine and emotional regulation. It was time to fill their tool kit with strong skills and habits. I developed an intervention program full of novelty, discovery, structure, responsibility, routine, and faith in each child’s ability. My special energy kids began to flourish.
The second wave of my career launched when my children were receiving ADHD diagnosis one after the next. While neurologists insisted that my children had a chronic brain disorder which could be “cured” or managed through the use of stimulant medication, it did not seem that my children’s struggles were due to a Ritalin deficiency. Now that my own children were being affected by ADHD, I left no stone unturned in my quest for deeper understanding and solutions."

FROM HER WEBSITE:
"I am a College lecturer, practitioner in private practice, parent educator, and author of HyperHealing. Married for 20 happy glorious years, and a mother of six beautiful children, (ages 7-19).
I began my career as a special education teacher in an inclusion classroom, with children of all ability levels, unique gifts and challenges. I loved all my students, but the most intriguing were the students with “special energy”, the ones who were trying to drink from a waterfall instead of a glass. The ones who dreamed all day, but then said something that no one else thought of. The ones whose engines ran on instant gratification, and had not developed habits and routines to focus their explosive energy. They were creative, funny, out of the box and… struggling. They had trouble with follow-through, organization, social skills, routine and emotional regulation. It was time to fill their tool kit with strong skills and habits. I developed an intervention program full of novelty, discovery, structure, responsibility, routine, and faith in each child’s ability. My special energy kids began to flourish.

On today's show, in addition to reading the chapter, "Kids+Hospitals+Dinosaurs" from his book, sharing wisdom from others, a bit of humor, and more, Paul played Part 2 of his interview with author RACHEL BRUNO.
RACHEL BRUNO, the co-founder of a successful Cyber Security business, will join us to describe the series of horrific events that occurred in her life after Child Protective Services took away both of her children - after her infant had become injured while in the care of a nanny, will join us to discuss her book on this subject, "Fractured Hope: A Mother's Fight for Justice".
FROM HER WEBSITE:
"Rachel Bruno is a wife and mother of two young boys. She holds a bachelor’s degree in communication and an MBA from Pepperdine University. She had hopes of starting her own business, and everything seemed to be going according to plan, until the unimaginable happened in 2015.
Rachel had her 7 week old baby and toddler son seized by CPS when her newborn sustained critical cranial injuries while in the care of a nanny. She was evicted from her own home and had to endure a grueling court case to prove her innocence, so her children could be returned to her. Then she pursued suing the authorities who erroneously accused her and put her children through a battery of traumatic tests without parental consent. She won her case in court and was awarded 7 figures in damages.
Rachel never knew that in the United States of America, parents and children were being denied their constitutionally protected rights under the guise of “what’s in the best interest of the child.” It has become her mission to educate, and to ensure this doesn’t happen to any more families. Her hope is that the laws tied to financial incentives be de-funded.
This experience made Rachel reconsider her priorities. Today, she is a stay-at-home mom, who works part-time leading a group of young mothers called MOMs INC at her church. She is an advocate for parental rights, and is on a mission to educate and edify others who may be going through difficult times through her testimony of God’s goodness."

FROM HER WEBSITE:
"In my lifetime I've met many parents and caregivers who were overwhelmed by the IEP process, document, and meetings. These parents have shared with me their feelings of confusion, frustration, and loneliness throughout the IEP process. I've also worked with teachers and administrators who felt lost, overwhelmed, and confused by all that special education involves.
My mission is to partner with parents, caregivers, and school districts in understanding Special Education, the IEP document and process, and to find common ground to enhance the education of children with special needs.
The ultimate goal is for you to feel comfortable in decision making and confident that the IEP is providing a Free Appropriate Public Education by preparing the child for further education, employment, and independent living based upon their unique needs."
