Shannon welcomes Bob Brody, an essayist and executive from New York City and author of Playing Catch with Strangers: A Family Guy (Reluctantly) Comes of Age, a memoir about his struggle to become a grown-up family man. "Playing catch" is meant to be taken both literally and as a metaphor for connections made with other humans. Brody describes his personal relationships with his family of origin, and the family he created, with an emotional current that is universally relatable.

"Playing Catch with Strangers is a gem . . . filled with insights, wit, pithy observations, common sense and neighborly decency . . a delightful and thought-provoking memoir." ~ Dan Rather, former CBS-TV anchor

Shannon welcomes world-renown psychic Lorrie Kazan, named one of the world's top psychics by the Edgar Cayce Institute for Intuitive Studies. Many call Kazan their “secret weapon” for making better decisions and experiencing  greater success. She is also an award-winning writer with an MFA in Writing. Her extensive knowledge of psychology and the psychic sciences reflect a life-long interest in deepening her understanding of human nature.

Filled with one-minute meditations and "Just For Today" exercises, Happiness Calls Your Name: Channeled One-Minute Meditations to Rewire Your Brain helps elevate consciousness and realign the mind for success. Kazan describes the book a being channeled. Dr. Henry Reed (Director of the Edgar Cayce Institute) said, "On a daily basis, I read many excerpts from channeled information. What Lorrie does deserves a new name because it's so far beyond channeled."

The Equal Rights Amendment: "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex."

This week, Shannon Fisher will share the history of the Equal Rights Amendment and the story of its continued and lengthy path to ratification. Most Americans believe the ERA is already in effect and are shocked to learn that there is still resistance to its ratification in 2014.

Senator Ben Cardin recently held a two-hour briefing about the ERA, featuring many longtime women's rights leaders (YouTube). Clips from these speeches will be shared as well as extensive historical information about the ERA.

Shannon is excited to welcome her guest this week: Shannon Keith, President and Founder of the Beagle Freedom Project (BFP). Keith's organization fights for animal rights on many levels, from fighting for legislation requiring humane treatment of laboratory animals to physically rescuing beagles used in laboratory testing and helping them assimilate into life outside of the lab - and ultimately finding them loving homes.

Beagles are the most popular breed for lab use because of their friendly, docile, trusting, forgiving, people-pleasing personalities. Most beagles used in experiments have never seen grass, the sun, or anything outside the walls of a laboratory. They have received little or no affection & are often afraid of people. Beagle Freedom Project is doing some amazing work in bringing joy & love to these animals.
