  • The Suzy Chronicles

    Part 3 of 3. This is a conversation with my sister Suzy, who came to live with me in in 2018 after our mother died suddenly. We take you into our very personal journey. We end up fighting the system for what is right when it comes to her care and medical benefits. Some fights are not over yet. You also get a look into the life of someone who lived many years very socially isolated with intellect limitations and what happens when they are given love and care and connection to others.This episode is a love letter to my sister. My life changed when I inherited her, but not nearly as much as her life changed. I admire her so much and wanted to have a permanent place where we would have this record of our lives.

    This is not the norm for my show, but we will return every month now with all the great guest, tips and tricks for conquering the chaos in yoru life you've come to expect from the Coaching Through Chaos Podcast. In the meantime, I hope our journey inspires those who are feeling let down or failed by our social services system, or those who are going through grief or just need a story of hope.

    No chaos can't be conquered!

  • 3 weeks Across the Country with a tub of Porcelain Dolls

    Part 2 of 3. This is a conversation about my almost month-long road trip across the country to help my disabled sister start her life over after my mother suddenly passed away.  It was also a cathartic journey for me as my life transformed along with my sister's.  I traveled from New York to DC to Greensboro to Nashville, to Nashville, to Memphis to New Orleans to Dallas and then Albuquerque and finally back to my home in San Diego.  But my hone will never be the same. This story of love, loss, family and conquering chaos. Listen in as I take you along my trip- It was a solo adventure filled with excitement, fear of failing and all that comes with knowing your life will never be the same when you return home.  

     This is a very personal series - not the norm for this show. After the New York Story, My Cross Country Journey and The Suzy Chronicles episodes, the show will return on a monthly basis to what you know from Coaching Through Chaos- Lost of tips, trick and experts to help you conquer the chaos in your life. But first, I thought I owed it to my listeners to explain my absence.

This will be a series of 3 to tell this story of love, loss and how we are managing the chaos we are finding in this new life situation.  This is a very personal series - not the norm for this show.  After the New York Story, My Cross Country Journey and The Suzy Chronicles episodes, the show will return on a monthly basis to what you know from Coaching Through Chaos-  Lost of tips, trick and experts to help you conquer the chaos in your life.  But first, I thought I owed it to my listeners to explain my absence.

  • Suicide Prevention and How Suicide Affected my life- with Dr Jonathan Singer
    Suicide Prevention and the Grief of those Left Behind

    I was personally devastated by suicide on July 1, 2007, when my youngest brother, Scott, took his own life at the age of 28.  Scott struggled for many years in and out of mental health treatment episodes.  He never quite let go of the perceived stigma of what it meant to have a mental illness, so he never fully accepted treatment.  Even if he had, we know some people still make the choice to end their life.  What they don't know, or can't know, is how the survivors they leave behind are profoundly affected. 

    I met today's guest, Dr. Jonathan Singer, LCSW at the Podcast Movement conference in Chicago last July.  Jonathan has been the host of The Social Work Podcast for over 9 years.  He started it as a way of bringing his university students extra information between lectures.  it has since taken on a long life of it's own.  There is not only a vast array of information  pertaining to all aspects of  the field of social work, but he also delivers inspirational interviews of people doing extraordinary things. 

    Jonathan's primary field of study is that of Suicide Prevention and Awareness.  He is the author of Dr. Singer is the author of 45 publications, including the 2015 book Suicide in Schools: A practitioner’s guide to multilevel prevention, assessment, intervention, and postvention .  He has given over 100 academic presentations around the country and is an expert in his field. 

    What's Happening in This Episode

    The first half of the episode features our conversation about:    -

    - The ages of children most at risk for suicide

    - How to discuss suicidal language with your child

    - What to do when your child says things like, "I wish I were dead!"

    - How to utilize professional help and when it should be considered

    - The significance of the suicidal thoughts

    - The Zero Suicide Initiative

    - The Jason Flatt Act

    - What #Not6 is all about

    The second half of the episode, Jonathan dives in with me to explore how I and my family were affected by my brother's suicide.  I am exploring this publicly hoping that it will help shed light on how complicated the grieving process can be for such a loss and also help those who are survivors of a loved one's suicide feel less alone.  Grief is complicated even when we expect a death to take place (i.e. when an elderly parent passes away), but it becomes more complex when someone you love chooses to die by suicide.  My family's reaction is not unusual, but in general, we still do not speak abou losing loved one's to suicide openly.  I'm hoping that by speaking about it in this forum, others may start their own conversations with their loved ones struggling with the suicidal thoughts, or amongst themselves if they are already grieving.

    Thank you for listening to this very personal episode.
