#mother

Mother and Son discuss with our followers LIVE how we are influenced by our parents. My son discusses how he is affected posistively or negatively by the actions of his parents. We are also influenced by other people's parents that we may encounter in life.

Mother and Son discuss with our followers LIVE the Millinial generation versus the Generation Z. 

Mother and Son discuss with our followers LIVE how discipline today is much different from the discipline of past generations (1960's-1980's vs New Generations)

Mother's Day can be very fun. I can remember when my kids were little, and they planned surprises for me. I would hear mumbling and whispers around me.

However, Mother's Day isn't always happy. If you just lost your mom or if you have a prodigal the day can be so painful.

Author Angela Breidenbach was my guest this week, and her mother was mentally ill, making it difficult to have a relationship. She shared about her past and offered ideas for mothers who are grieving.

My guest today is Joy Pratcher. Joy has ascended from working corporate law, entertainment law, and as a sports agent to owning  lucrative businesses. Joy is a wife and mother to two daughters, and shares that her life is better than she ever could have imagined. During our conversation Joy shared how she has relinquished her attachment to tomorrow, and insists on living in the present. In succumbing to a less rigid lifestyle during the pandemic, Joy had a deep desire to change the way she was showing up in her daughter's lives. Joy explained that putting family first and work second has been the best decision she’s ever made. Joy admits that marriages are difficult, but credits her husband for being supportive, and allowing her to pursue different ventures. They parent collaboratively, each with their own style, however, it’s the unit that makes everything work. While everyone has a fantasy of what their life could be, living in life’s reality is what gives us character. Turn in to hear from a dynamic woman with enlightening perspectives.

Today I have the pleasure of interviewing Mary Lovell who will turn 100 on February 23. She lives at Clatsop Retirement Village in Astoria where Judy Atkinson joined me to record this interview.

Mary has lived an interesting life and doesn’t look a day over 80. She shares about growing up in Astoria, going to University of Oregon, being a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma and PEO Chapter FE which she helped begin. She tells about her memories of living through the great depression, getting married before she finished her teaching degree, then becoming an aide at Astor School to teach PE and work in the library. She played organ at Grace Episcopal Church for the youth choir and has attended all of her adult life. Her family see her as "being brave, intelligent, with a great ear for music and a wonderful sense of humor.”

My guest today is Alexandria Yates. Alex, as her friends call her, doesn't leave it to society to define her. She creates her own sense of normal, and puts her peace of mind before appeasing others.

Instead, you should create your own narrative! Alex says, "comparison is the thief of joy; whatever is meant to be in your life will be, so you can either take the short road or the long road."
