LIFE UNfiltered

Impossible to believe, but the holidays are almost here and most of us are getting ready for some kind of Thanksgiving celebration this week. And with that, comes kids returning home from college and boarding school for their holiday break, so it’s the perfect time to have a conversation about what that might look and feel like considering how different life is these days. This year, most colleges are sending kids home for Thanksgiving and stretching out their fall break to roll right through the traditional winter break and all the way until the end of January or the beginning of February. And that means parents and kids are going to have a LOT of time together under the same roof this winter. So this week, as a way of ensuring that everyone makes the most of that time together, we’re talking about what NOT to do when your older kids are home for the holidays.

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.

Believe it or not, Thanksgiving is coming. FAST. And even tho we’ve been through some big holidays since the pandemic started, Thanksgiving is in a class by itself, making it tough to navigate the day if we’re separated from family and friends. So join us this week as we talk about how to make the day meaningful in spite of quarantine.

It’s over. The election is fiiiinally behind us. And we’ve got ourselves a brand-new president. But the reality is, this was the most polarizing election in American history, leaving some of us overjoyed while others are devastated at the results. Because at the end of the day, only one candidate can take home the big prize. And that means there are a lot of angry, disappointed, and sad people out there who didn’t get the outcome they were hoping for at the polls. So, without getting political, we thought it was important to focus some time and attention on how to cope with the election outcome when it wasn’t what you hoped for. Because the bottom line is that we all need to move forward. So have a listen as we talk about how to find a new rhythm and forge on with positivity.

This week on LIFE UNfiltered, we’re talking about what happens when kids make bad decisions that impact the greater community. And our conversation hits close to home because we’re talking specifically about an incident that happened right here in our own hometown of Marblehead. We’re talking about the fallout from last week’s house party where more than 50 high school students were caught underage drinking, not wearing masks, and not social distancing. And the huge ripple effect it created within the school department and throughout the town. Because now, all the School Department’s plans to create a safe hybrid school model have been jeopardized. So, we thought it was important to talk about the pressure kids are under during the pandemic and ways we can empower them to make good choices during these challenging times.

Today on LIFE UNfiltered we’re talking about something that we're all experiencing in one form or another these days... NEGATIVITY, which seems to be everywhere these days and is showing up in all sorts of ways. And it can be really damaging to us and to the people around us especially when we allow it to overtake our lives. Negativity is something that can easily influence our thoughts, feelings, and mood which in turn, definitely influences our behavior. If we are navigating our way influenced by negativity it can influence our path both short term and long term, so how do we manage negativity so that it doesn’t have a long-lasting impact on our lives.

This week on LIFE UNfiltered, we’re taking some more pages from our latest book "How To Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids And Be Ok With It" and talking about how to avoid falling into that toxic place of comparing yourself, your decisions, and even your kids with the people around you.

This week on LIFE UNfiltered, we’re diving back into our book “How To Raise Perfectly Imperfect Kids And Be Ok With It” to talk about kids and responsibility and how important it is to give our kids the chance to contribute to the family unit. Because with most of us still living in some state of quarantine, it means we’re doing most everything from home and wearing tons of different hats every day. And even though many of us reject asking our kids to help out to avoid burdening them, we shouldn’t. Instead, we should be doing ourselves and our kids a favor by giving them real responsibilities and setting some honest expectations to help them develop their sense of independence.

This week on LIFE UNfiltered, as we continue to ramp up for the fall, we wanted to speak directly to the 50-something women out there, like us, who might be feeling a bit depleted from so many months of worrying about and taking care of everyone around us like family and loved ones because it’s been a lot. That's why, this week's episode is dedicated to talking about ways that we can learn to step back and maintain balance and a sense of calm as our day-to-day lives return to a more hectic state of work and school and commitments. And we thought it would be super beneficial to offer some strategies and tools for giving ourselves a pause to ensure that we’re taking care of ourselves physically, mentally, and emotionally while we’re also in the thick of taking care of those around us. Because as most of us who are in that over 50 cohort know, it’s not easy to be present and support and nourish ourselves fully while we’re focusing on the important people in our lives. So we’ve got Master Yoga Instructor and wellness expert Elizabeth O’Shea with us to talk about her “Evaluate, Align & Energize Your Life” that’s designed to help us discover why it’s important to slow down and see where we might be subconsciously distracting ourselves from living our most energetic and authentic life.
