In this episode, Rich has a conversation with Marlene Shipley Everhardt.

Step into the world of Marlene Shipley Everhardt, a Maryland native hailing from the illustrious Bel Air. Marlene's incredible journey began with a simple idea, to capture the heartwarming experiences between a deaf grandmother and her hearing grandsons in a children's book. Years later, this idea has blossomed into a sensational series of "Signing Grandma Books," which showcase beautifully illustrated American Sign Language (ASL) signs. Co-authoring the series with her high school friend of 50 years, Pat Goldys, Marlene is thrilled to continue her legacy as a CODA (Child Of Deaf Adults).

When she's not pouring her heart and soul into the books, Marlene can be found lounging on the beach on a sunny day, indulging in her love for literature at bookstores on rainy days, or sipping tea with her closest girlfriends on almost any day. Join Marlene on her journey as she inspires, educates, and delights readers of all ages with her enchanting stories of family, love, and the beauty of American Sign Language.

In this episode, Rich is joined by several people to hold a roundtable discussion on Mental Illness and what they're doing to control it.

The guests are Andrea Pappas and Ronya Nassar from Harford County Health Department, Lindsey Pope, and Wendy Beck from Rage Against Addiction.

Mental illnesses are conditions that affect a person's thinking, mood, and behavior. These disorders can manifest in different ways, and they may vary in severity from mild to severe. Some common mental illnesses include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and eating disorders. Mental illnesses can be caused by a combination of genetic, environmental, and social factors. People with mental illnesses may experience symptoms such as persistent sadness, fear, confusion, or irritability, and these symptoms can significantly affect their daily lives. It is important for individuals with mental illnesses to seek professional help and support from loved ones to manage their conditions effectively.
