Living The Next Chapter: Candid Conversations with Authors and Writers for Readers Searching for a New Read

EPISODE 61 - Kim Muench Author of Becoming Me While Raising You, A Mother's Journey to Her Self

 
We talk all things parenting with our guest Kim Muench Author of Becoming Me While Raising You – a Mother's Journey to Her Self

Kim's mission is to help Moms unlock their inner wisdom so they can be the calm, confident guide their children deserve.

In May 2008, I went through the greatest parenting challenge of my life. The eldest of my five children called me from across the country to say he was in trouble…he was failing classes, about to lose his job, and his use of alcohol was totally out of control.

At the time he was twenty years old.

When I answered his call for help, I didn’t waste time wondering how it had happened or ask myself, “Why me?!” I knew the way I had parented him and was parenting, contributed to the life-threatening situation he was in and one that I could no longer deny.

EPISODE 59 - Mike Hynes - Post Traumatic Growth, Mental Health

Our Guest:

Mike is an executive coach, a speaker and an author of the book: The Myth-Guided Mind: Unleash Your God-Given Genius at Work and at Home. His book is both practical and personal. He worked as a psychotherapist and saw that there were flaws in the system.

He came to believe that there was a problem about the way “the system” thinks about mental illness and mental health. Now he works as a coach to help people look forward to create the life they want to live and unleash their inner genius.

The Book: The Myth-Guided Mind: Unleash Your God-Given Genius at Work and at Home

In The Myth-Guided Mind, Michael Hynes delivers a powerful proposition: we are not nearly so broken as the devices we use to make us well. With a success rate of around 20 per cent, conventional therapy tactics turn us towards false answers and away from what we need most.

Hynes argues that healing techniques such as somatics, coupled with a reconnection to allegories that hide the keys to our happiness in plain sight, will lead us home. We need to access the same old stories to stop repeating our same old stories.

EPISODE 58 - Tiffy Rose Author of The Big Trap, Just One Last High - a fierce advocate for recovery

Why I built this series

Tiffy Rose created a series of Addiction/Recovery books for the public in a time where the world faces addiction in staggering proportions, showing the cause and effect of abuse and trauma in early life creating in most cases addictive behavior.  This series brings awareness and recovery solutions to those looking for understanding to change their lives. Helping them grow with determination and discipline, and the Self-Empowerment to embrace a new LIFE JOURNEY!

With over seventeen years (2019) in recovery, after twenty-five years in addiction Rose has championed her past in order to help others find their own Serenity in recovery.

Addiction through the eyes of a recovering addict and the story it holds, I wrote The Big Trap… Just One Last High, never expecting to write additional work. I wrote this series, which has now turned into a new platform of Self-Driven Recovery for a problem that has been part of society for far too long. I began writing my own experience, strength and hopes not long after moving into my new home hoping to help those still suffering from addiction crisis and recovery stigma. My platform brings to the many that are falling behind but actually want help, the help they need.

T. Rose

EPISODE 56 - Jonathan Rose - Canadian Author and World Traveler

Today on Living The Next Chapter, we speak with Jonathan R Rose - Published Author of Carrion, The Spirit of Laughter, Wedlock and Gato y Lobo.

Jonathan Rose grew up in Toronto - a neighbourhood filled with the sights and sounds of many cultures, different voices, traditions and faces.  Seeing many different cultures every day became Jonathan's super power.  Jonathan set out to not just see the world, but live the world.  As he travels and transplants himself he finds inspiration in the stories lived in front of him every day.  Take a journey with us, an author journey with a purpose!

The ability to tell a story in a clear and concise manner that anybody can understand has always been my strength and my passion.

When I’m not writing I’m usually reading a new story, watching a new story, or walking around observing the world around me while putting together a new story in my mind. Like a mathematician thinks in numbers, an athlete thinks in physical movements, and a musician thinks in notes and verses, I think in story.

I will always enjoy the thrill of invention and the freedom of exploration that comes with writing fiction, but since 2019 I have also developed a passion for creating compelling narratives based on actual events, and I have found telling true stories as faithfully as possible to be as rewarding as it is challenging.

E54 - Sal La Greca and Mike Mannix Authors of The 5 L's - Unparalled Performance

"Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom" Aristotle

The 5Ls is the brainchild of Sal LaGreca.  After being admitted to the partnership at KPMG, he attended a Harvard Executive Leadership program with some of the top global business leaders focusing on the key components for success in business. This experience ignited the thought process for Sal that would lead him to the creation of the 5Ls.

It has recently gained recognition as the result of a meeting between Sal and Mike Mannix, also a global executive and well-known leadership expert at New York University (NYU). Once Mike heard the 5Ls concept, based on his experience in leadership training, he knew immediately the impact it could make on people’s lives. 

The 5Ls facilitates the continuous pursuit of achieving balance in 5 essential life elements

LOVE  Self-love, Oxygen Mask Theory, Positive support of others

LAUGHTER Stress Management - don’t take yourself too seriously

LABOR Passion & Purpose - the benefits of doing what you love

LEISURE "Me Time", Disconnect, Clear Minds = Better Decisions

LEAVE Knowing when to pivot - manage change, adjust the sails 

Alone they have Purpose - Together they have Powe
