- Domino Effect of Reversing Roe v WadeJoin Judge Aquilina and Shari Botwin, LCSW in a heartfelt discussion about the SCOTUS reversal of Roe v Wade in the Dodds v Jackson decision. Seventy percent of the American public is pro-choice. Deaths of women are estimated to increase by 21% and 33% among black women. The government has made a choice that will lead to increased suicides, deaths and inequality. What can the public do with their outrage and horror? What are some steps people can take to make their voice be heard about a choice that should be up to a woman and her doctor?59 min
- Accepting Our Flawed Parents
Coming to terms with our flawed parents ultimately brings us to a place of peace and comfort. What does it mean to forgive our parents and how can we choose happiness versus hold onto the anger from the past?
50 min - Let's Talk Honestly: IVF, Adoption, Surrogacy and Rape
There is only love, no shame, in having a child. Regardless of whether they became part of your family by IVF, adoption, surrogacy or rape, children deserve honest age-appropriate answers about how they were conceived. This is needed for their mental health, physical health and overall feeling of safety, security and love. Lies by omission can negatively affect the parent-child relationship. Lies hurt the child's ability to trut and can lead to depression, shame and anxiety. Join us as we discuss this very important issue.

40 min - Finding Peace In ChaosWhen fictional horror scenes become our reality and the unimaginable happens, how do we begin to regain control and manage our stress? How do we cope with feelings of uncertainty, unsafety and fear when trauma envelopes us?53 min
- Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fawn
Have you seen or experienced a horrifying event, been a victim of a crime, or suffered a significant loss? Does your adrenaline kick in when you take a test, or sense danger, or maybe at times when you are uncertain? Trauma can affect you in the moment but it also has effects long after the triggering incident. Our bodies react in different ways when we sense danger or have to work through our fears. During these uncertain moments our brain goes into ‘protective mode’ that can trigger "fight, flight, freeze, or fawn" or a hybrid of those responses which often affects our mental and physical health and can disrupt the quality of our lives for many years. Join our discussion of how to recognize "fight, flight, freeze, fawn" trauma responses and some of the reasons for them. Understanding both the triggers and the trauma and how to process and navigate them is instrumental in moving forward, breaking the patterns that bind us to the past, and living a joyful fulfilled life.
46 min - Our Mothers, Ourselves: Part Two
Join us in part two of our conversation with Judith Ruskay Rabinor, PhD whose latest book: The Girl in the Red Boots is our special Mother's Day guest.

The journey can be haunting or uplifting, it can change you in ways you've never thought possible. The Girl in the Red Boots is a compassionate retelling of Judith's journey and is intertwined with many other reflective stories. Judith's raw honesty and humor brings to the forefront the need for exploration, understanding and healing.

40 min - Our Mothers, Ourselves: Part One
Judith Ruskay Rabinor, PhD whose latest book: The Girl in the Red Boots is our special Mother's Day guest. Join us in this two part series where we discuss and share our various journeys with our mothers. Judith's story with her own mother couldn't be told for years after her mother passed but through her writing she healed and was finally ready to share her story to help others. Reconciling the relationships we have with our mothers allows us to release anger and gain compassion and insight for ourselves and our mothers. The views we have as children morph and evolve while we grow into adults, raise our own children and watch our parents decline. The journey can be haunting or uplifting, it can change you in ways you've never thought possible. The Girl in the Red Boots describes such a journey and talking with Judith brings to the forefront the need for exploration, understanding and healing.
