Whatever side of the aisle you’re on, we all felt the ripple effect of the terrifying events we watched in Washington on January 6th with the storming of the US Capitol. And we’re still feeling it almost two weeks later, which is why we felt it was important to talk about it here on the show. Because a lot of our kids are frightened. But rather than talk politics, which neither of us likes to do here, we’ve decided to take this as an opportunity to talk, as moms, about how to have a conversation about what just happened and what continues to happen. So, this week on LIFE UNfiltered, we’re giving parents some strategies and talking points you can use to help reassure your kids that things will be ok.
LIFE UNfiltered is something new. Something different. Something real and raw and relatable. It’s a talk show that celebrates the messy, perfectly imperfect parts of life. Every Sunday from 11:30AM until noon, show hosts author & syndicated columnist Lisa Sugarman and licensed psychotherapist Debra Gansenberg, MSW, LICSW talk about the everyday issues that are affecting them as moms, wives, working professionals, and friends. Gansenberg, the mom of three boys, and Sugarman, the mom of two daughters, take the theme from their latest book “How To Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids And Be Ok With It,” and apply it to every aspect of life from raising kids and marriage to work and self-care and everything in between. They talk, unfiltered, about all the stuff that’s keeping you up at night. And here’s the thing… they actually give you permission to make mistakes and drop some balls. And be ok with it.
Each week, Lisa and Debra focus on topics that affect all of us and have open, honest conversations about the good, the bad, the ugly, and all the moving parts that make up our day-to-day lives.
They incorporate a mix of clinical advice, stories, tips, proven strategies from the trenches AND the therapy couch, and a bunch of laughs, to help you find the magic within life’s screwups.
So set your alarms for 11:29AM EST every Sunday morning so you don’t miss a single second of LIFE UNfiltered. Like us on Facebook at LIFE Unfiltered on Northshore 104.9FM OR, follow us on Instagram @life_unfilteredon1049.
