After reading an article in Buzzfeed about a person bringing in migrant workers into North Carolina, Author E.C. Hanes, paused… took notice and decided to learn more.  As a resident of North Carolina and knowing that over 200,000 people come in each year for migrant work (from agriculture to hospitality) became curious and investigated.

These essential workers are necessary for the fabric of America, and he wrote a novel based on his research. He created fictional characters and decided to tell the story with a “little bit of sugar.”

 Reneé Rodriguez helps women in custody battles against a narcissistic co-parent to go into family court and get the custody arrangement that's best for their kids. These women have suffered psychological abuse at the hands of their former partners and are working to ensure their children are protected from further cruelty. Her company is called Best Foot Forward, has been around for several years.
 
 Reneé has been a coach for years and has a degree in Psychology. She was coached in her custody struggles and decided to help others in similar situations.
 
 Reneé has formed a blueprint for preparing for court through Strategy, Mindset, and Evidence and using truth and virtue even in the face of lies and manipulation. I find that moms are dependent on their lawyers to save them, and they have no real sense of how best to present their evidence in court. What sets Renee apart is her focus on the mindset of dealing with a high-conflict co-parent--both in a custody battle AND as a mom trying to co-parent with a damaged individual. She addresses the shame, guilt, and helplessness through her Custody Warriors program.

Are you even a writer?

I have asked this question so many times… as has (probably) every writer. 

Paulette Perhach's life  started with financial disaster and the accidental death of her father when she was 17, she started started out with a victim mentality.

Paulette admits to feeling entitled and waited for success to come to her. It wasn't until she had an experience through the  Peace Corps that she learned she had to take responsibility for her own success. She discovered the miracle of self-education during her service in Paraguay.

She bought a horse and simply Googled: "How to ride horse." Two weeks later, she was galloping.

She's gone on to become an adult-education evangelist, starting a corporate university at a $50M company, creating writing courses, and authoring the book Welcome to the Writer’s Life Book—a guide to turning freelance writing into a business.

She also wrote a globally viral article that helped millions of women realize the importance of financial power, calledA Story of a F-Off Fund. 

She is now a successful writer and writing coach, with work in The New York Times, Vox, Cosmo, Glamour, and many more.

“You need a mentor!”

Perhaps you have heard these words somewhere along your career path as well. But, what makes a good mentor?

Most people would describe a mentor as someone who “has been there and done that,” and now is sharing their knowledge and experience. Basically a mentor is a trusted advisor or leader. 

But, so what exactly?

Doug Lawrence, creator of TalentC has taken that “so what” and created an entire program and two books as an answer to this question. 

Doug started his professional career as part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, and worked in this field for 25 years. He described giving advice and insight to younger members of the force, and then realized that this was something he had a talent for. He sought out mentor programs, and realized that many programs focused on teaching the “knowledge and how to” of mentoring, but did not focus on making the mentor “truly competent.”

His passion for mentoring allowed him to become an International Certified Mentor, and has obtained his Certificate of Achievement – Mentoring, his Certificate of Competence – Mentor and his Certificate of Competence – Journey Mentor from the International Mentoring Community (IMC)

“A good mentor is going to leverage their lived experience… through story-telling.”

Doug also uses his experience to speak to organizations. He is part of the Canadian Speaker Bureau.  He is Doug is a volunteer mentor with the Sir Richard Branson Entrepreneur Program in the Caribbean.

Sir Richard Branson is quoted as saying, ” The best way forward is to give more people everywhere greater power to build their own destinies.” Doug Lawrence embodies this with is mentor program, as well as part of his role as an author.

Books

Doug Lawrence has authored two books. His first book, The Gift of Mentoring. Dough describes the two-way relationship that a mentor and mentee have, as well as the chemistry that has to exist in order for the relationship to be fruitful.

April is National Poetry Month.

Why does this matter?

Well, in the way that music can change a feeling in someones heart and change their mood, poetry has the same ability.

Ne research shows that poetry is very powerful- not just in the words, but how it can stimulate the reward centers of the brain.  This means that emotional expression can change.

It is why some of us will remember poetry years after memorizing it... in fact, it is what makes us memorize it in the first place.

My guest today is James Crews, an outstanding poet in his own right... and editor and collector of poems. His latest book The Path to Kindness reveals the Power of Poetry.

James shares the power of poetry in this collection, but allowing us the glimpse of kindness, while allowing ourselves to appreciate small and gentle gestures that represent love and memory.

Episode Summary

What causes relationships to slowly break down—even when both people genuinely love each other?

In this episode of In the Rising Podcast, Bettina Brown sits down with author and relationship coach Matthew Fray, author of This Is How Your Marriage Ends. Matthew shares the painful experience that led him from divorce and regret to becoming a writer and coach helping couples understand the subtle habits that erode trust over time.

Together, they discuss emotional safety, validation, empathy, co-parenting after divorce, and why seemingly insignificant moments often represent something much deeper in relationships.

Matthew explains how small acts of invalidation and defensiveness can slowly "paper cut" a marriage until trust disappears, and why learning to understand our partner's experience can transform not only marriages but all relationships.
In This Episode:

• How Matthew's divorce led him to become a relationship coach
• Why marriages often end gradually rather than suddenly
• The hidden meaning behind "the dish by the sink"
• Emotional safety and trust in relationships
• Common ways partners accidentally invalidate one another
• Why defensiveness damages intimacy
• Raising emotionally aware children
• Healthy co-parenting after divorce
• Learning from regret instead of being defined by it
• Building stronger relationships through empathy and consideration
