Season 1 Episode 15

It's that time of year. Graduation ceremonies for many persons. But what is the meaning of education now? What does it bring to graduates? What other options should be considered?

Join me and my guest, Steven Kmiec, as we tease it apart and chat about it.

*To clarify: in most states a person is not required to be licensed or certified to present themselves as a life coach, or need either one to receive a business license as a life coach. However, plenty of persons have put themselves through training/certification to be ethical life coaches.

Part 2 continues the discussion about what it takes to become a counselor/therapist, living with me as a therapist and being a mom from Seneca's POV, and torturing Seneca yet again with another childhood story!

This episode is in celebration of the life my daughter and I lived with my Gran, Betty. She was an amazing woman who said F*ck The Rules, in her own way without ever dropping the F bomb. From raising her children, being a co-owner of an ambulance business, getting her education to be an EMT, raising her grandchildren, being active in her church, and co-parenting her first great granddaughter - Gran bent some rules to get the job done. Including those damn bananas in a bag.

PLEASE NOTE: We discuss multiple topics and some may be distressing to listeners: discussion of grief and death.
