EPISODE 127 - Jennifer Rose Asher Journey to my Daughter - An Adoption Story With A Lesson in Trust and Timing

Jennifer shares her journey in search of her daughter here on Living The Next Chapter

About the Author

Jennifer Rose Asher has a bachelor’s degree in finance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from The Adler School of Professional Psychology. She has worked in the adoption field, both as a birthmother counselor and as a consultant for adoptive families. Journey to My Daughter is her first book.

Jennifer lives in the Dallas area with her husband, three children, and several dogs. She is an animal lover with a passion for horses. She rides her two quarter horses on a drill team that performs at local rodeos.

"This book is my adoption story, but it is much more than that. It is also the story of how I discovered what is important in life and how I learned to trust the universe."

Journey to My Daughter is about becoming a mother. It details everything from author Jennifer Rose Asher’s decision to have a child, two miscarriages, a whirlwind trip to Vietnam, and how she eventually found her daughter. Along the way, Jennifer and her husband tried multiple approaches while looking for a child and would never have predicted how and where they would find her.

This memoir is also about self-discovery. It’s as much a tale about recognizing and following signs from the universe as it is a story about family. Along the way, Asher learns to release her driven, forceful nature just enough to allow herself to follow the tide of the journey, making her quest more peaceful and allowing her to achieve her goal of motherhood. Whether you’re a prospective adoptive parent, have experienced a miscarriage, or have no plans to have children at all, Journey to My Daughter will help you find solace, hope, and a few laughs along the way.

E125 - Linda Presto - Where’s My Wine Glass - Getting Your Kid to College Without Losing Your Mind

The Book: "Where’s My Wine Glass?!, Getting Your Kid to College Without Losing Your Mind" is a frolicking collection of humorous essays for parents of children who are prepping for, leaving for, or attending college. As a long-time college coach, private tutor, and parent of two failure-to-launch college graduates, Linda Presto’s sarcastic voice, no-nonsense tone, and years of experience deliver a much-needed respite from the insanity and competition of acceptance to college. Parents in this stage need a laugh and some straight talk about the process and its pitfalls. Linda is a self-deprecating, yet knowledgeable narrator, who takes parents on a journey through the highlight reel of what they hope will end in smarter kids… and less laundry. Addressing subjects like college visits, university rankings, and empty nest syndrome, Linda’s personal accounts and anecdotes from years of working with students and parents shed light on the universal nature of rearing children and the parents who only want the best for them. That and they want them off their couch!

Linda is a journalist, teacher, and essayist, who earned her MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts. 

She is releasing her first humor book, “Where’s My Wine Glass?! Getting Your Kid to College Without Losing Your Mind” while snickering at her own jokes. Linda teaches Writing at her community college, tutors students, and began a reading series for local writers in New Jersey.

EPISODE 122 - Robert Peterson - The Entrepreneur Mindset Shift - Growth Characteristics of Success

Our guest:

Meet Robert
Robert is passionate about helping entrepreneurs and small business owners step into their happiness and emotional freedom by taking control of their time. He is the other half of the Smiling Coaching Couple and author of Entrepreneur Mindset $hift. Robert helps entrepreneurs to take responsibility for what they want and take the steps necessary to reach their dreams.

He works with you on your daily goals for your business and your life by raising awareness of your calendar, thoughts and values so that you can retake control of the hours you have.

The Book: The Entrepreneur Mindset Shift
Growth Characteristics of Success
This book offers practical advice on how to change your thoughts in order to change your world.

From the Foreword by Andrew Cordle, CEO of Money Is

This book will be a game-changer for those who understand its importance, and that’s the catch-some will miss the point entirely because of their wrong mindset. Robert has come to understand that mindset is the singular make-or-break characteristic for entrepreneurs. Those who embrace the mindset of growth, accountability, integrity, creativity, and fearlessness outlined in this book will no doubt go on to accomplish great things that impact the world. Those who can’t outgrow their comfort zones and stay trapped in a mindset of doubt instead of belief, scarcity instead of bountifulness, or fear instead of love and hope are bound to fail.
