In this episode, you will meet Mary Held from Lansing Michigan. Mary is a retired school teacher who had a life changing experience through therapy.  I fully enjoyed this conversation and you will too!

For 11 years, Mary suffered from debilitating seizures that left her spending most of her time at home. She was unable to find the cause, despite consulting with physicians, neurologists, and psychiatrists. Finally, a friend recommended Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. She found an EMDR therapist and started work. Through EMDR she discovered that her seizures were caused by PTSD. Four months later, she was almost totally free from seizures and living a life she describes as “full of joy.”

Mary wrote about each session and what happened to her between sessions. Her journal, supplemented by her therapist’s comments on each session, became a book, “Unfreezing Trauma: My Personal Journal of EMDR Recovery.” Now Mary is dedicated to talking about her story, the book, and EMDR in general. Her goal is to make sure everyone who suffers from PTSD knows about EMDR.

Meet Kristina Lucia. In this episode, we learn about multi-talented New Yorker Kristina who is an artist, a creator and an author.  In my conversation with her, I learned of her ambitious project to complete a 15-part children's book series starred by eponymous Bella Lucia. This is a lovely conversation where Kristina shares her writing process, her inspiration and her incredible focus. She is a budding podcaster who teems with energy.

You will enjoy this conversation immeasurably! 

Kristina Lucia is an artist, creator, and author who ignites the imaginations of children and their parents through her limited edition animals and touching storybooks. Her humble beginnings in a small farm town (there was only one traffic light!) sparked her creativity at a young age and her adopted home of New York City keeps her inspired daily. Curiously Curated Creations of Kristina Lucia features a magical array of warm, cuddly and comforting creatures along with storybooks that help parents and kids improve their communication and deepen their relationships.

Whether she is strutting down Fifth Avenue in Manolos or curled up on her sofa in slipper socks, Kristina is ready to create a masterpiece. Her crochet hooks and knitting needles are always within reach to whip up anything from stuffies to baby sweaters, while her kitchen table is often covered with her watercolor paints and brushes or freshly baked cookies. After an injury forced her to reconsider her 100-mile-an-hour corporate career, Kristina realized her true path: to be the artist she was meant to be.

The door of Curiously Curated Creations of Kristina Lucia opened upon her receiving a sign from her Mom. The journey began in November 2019. Kristina is also a competitive dancer, an avid reader, and travel buff. When she is not working, you can find her in the studio dancing her cha cha, with her nose in a book, or exploring a new destination.

The Bella Lucia Series is composed of 15 children's books where Bella Elephant learns skills and goes through transitions that cause her to feel feelings of frustration.  With the help of her parents and special adults in her life she is able to express her feelings and work through her frustrations.  With practice and patience she is able to overcome her fears and accomplish her goals.  The beauty is that she is then able to share this wisdom with her friends.  

Each book features a readers guide.  A coordinating coloring book is available for separate purchase as well!  

The first books of this series are coming in Spring 2023.

If you are interested in writing Dystopian fiction this is your episode. Meet William R. Douglas, from McHenry, Illinois. In this episode, William shares the motivation for his book, his team of critical friends and how he maintained focus. His book, a futuristic glance at the world in Post Second Civil War USA, where the sport of baseball is no longer part of the national memory bank. Imagine an America where no remembers baseball! This is a fictional tale but as the main character pieces together artefacts to reconstruct baseball, you can't help but wonder about a world so reliant on clouds to store data and the risks associated. William's book may be fictional but the underlying themes are current. 

You will enjoy this episode! Here is William explaining the inspiration for his book. 

Years ago, I saw an article that talked about games that kids used to play back in the 1850's and earlier that are now extinct. No kids play these games anymore, or even has any knowledge of them. Back in the 1990s, I read David Aickman's novel: When the Almond Tree Blossoms. This is a fiction book about a Second American Civil War that is fought along idealogical lines of Liberal vs Conservative. 10 years ago I read William Forstchen's novel: One Second After. This story is about en EMP attack against the United States that puts the country back into "horse and buggy mode". I have been a baseball fan all my life. Before I started writing the novel, I began to see early warning signs regarding the overall popularity of baseball, especially among youth, beginning a decline.  So, taking all the above inputs, a 'what-if' scenario started kicking around in my mind. What if baseball died as a sport? How could it die? What external event could hasten it's demise?  The end product is my speculative fiction novel: The Death and Resurrection of Baseball: Echoes from a Distant Past.

His book is available online on Amazon and other online retailers.
