Loving my journey living with Disability..

Having a conversation with my special guest Rifka on our experience working in the school system. We have experienced so many things that the school has to offer. Teaching today has changed dramatically because the kids are different. They are more privileged, unruly, short tension spans and they are very challenging. We would like to talk about how we as a teacher handle these difficulties in the school system. Please join us in the conversation.

This is a conversation about life and how people are feeling these days. People are fearful not knowing what is going to happen in the future of this country. Rifka and I wanted to share some good news on our life journey experiences and sharing how we handle our own everyday life journey.

This podcast was recorded on my birthday and it is about the uncertainty of life. This podcast was recorded in the spur of the moment and my friend Rifka and I decided to have some fun while we were at the cafe celebrating my birthday while drinking coffee. We were talking about gun violence and how people are dying at a young age. We had a lot to say in 10 minutes and it was so much fun. Hope you all enjoy the conversation.

This is a song that I wrote back in 2020 and it's about feeling trapped with a lot of emotions and pain and I was able to express myself through music to tell my story.

I wrote this song because sometime it's hard to express one's self and writing about feels magical because it actually feels like your confronting the person that is hurting you. I also want to give credit to two of my close friends Rifka Kaplan Peck and Jeff Peck who has worked so hard in the studio to make the song sound great. Thanks for playing the Bass and the lead guitar because you guys are very talented.:)

Please enjoy this song..

Please tune it to hear our conversation on Sana's life journey.

This conversation is about the WNBA and the mistreatment and disrespect they have to endure as athletes. They don't get the same respect has the men in the NBA and their pay rate is very low compare to their male counterpart. The WNBA players are very talented and are just as entertaining as the men basketball team. Also, we discus and compare other woman sports like tennis and soccer and how these teams don't have that much trouble being promoted and gain the same respect as their male counterpart. For example, Serena Williams and Osaka gets the money they deserve and their name is well known in the sports world whereas, Diana Taurasi who is compared to Michael Jordan don't get the respect she deserve. Just wanted to thank Taylor St. Pierre for joining me in the discussion on the this controversial topic on the Gender Pay Gap in the WNBA. I decided to use Taylor because he gave me so much perspective on the topic and he also challenged me to approach the topic in a non bias way and to look  at the situation from all stand points and not to just think because they are females that is the reason for their struggles. But there are other things that is at play like being promoted and not getting enough views and not being fully funded. So reading the article gave me more information on the topic.

Today on my podcast I will be having an important discussion on Anxiety and depression and how it can affect our lives in a negative way if we are not aware of it. Allie is going to be sharing her story and her experience on how this has affected her later in her adulthood. We were able to understand that not having the right support from both parents can affect us and cause us to fail as an adult, especially if the parents think nothing is wrong by not giving the child a chance to express themselves. Allie has learned later in her life she was struggling with anxiety and depression after her college years into her first cooperate job position. Through all the struggles that Allie had experienced she was able to turn her life around and started her own business called Coutts Creation. Her story is very inspiring and its so important to know not to give up on ourselves because we are overcomers. Allie has taught us that after reaching out to therapist it gave her life new meaning, and now currently along with her business she has started a podcast helping people being leaders. Here are some information  on Allie and her work.
