What's as important as sharing your story? Listeni

What's as important as sharing your story? Listening to the stories of others! How do you get someone to tell you their story when it's your father and he's a WWII veteran?⁠
⁠
Becky Ellis shares her story in her memoir, LITTLE AVALANCHES, and how her entire world changed when her father finally shared his story and experiences in WWII with her. Not only did it make their relationship better, but it was healing for both of them, as well as for generations of their family. ⁠
⁠
Becky and I share a mutual admiration and respect for our veterans which is why it's been so enjoyable to read her book, work together and share this incredible conversation with all of you. ⁠
⁠
Reading Becky's book opens your eyes and heart to why people might act the way they do. We don't know someone else's trauma or lived experience. We don't know exactly what has happened to them that has shaped their view of the world or is the reason behind the decisions they make. ⁠
⁠
My favorite thing Becky said was that this experience didn't give her closure...it opened her heart even more. ⁠

Every day I wake up and ask myself what I will bri

Every day I wake up and ask myself what I will bring to the day. What can I do to ensure the safety and happiness of my kids? How can I grow my business and podcast? How can I use my voice and encourage others to do the same in this current disaster climate filled with hate and fear? This morning was no different.

I saw an email come in last night from @shannonrwatts Substack and I opened it quickly while on the couch about to get sucked into RHOBH. I decided it was going to be a really good read that deserved my full attention and marked it as unread. With coffee in hand this morning, I read it thoroughly and the light bulbs went off. It’s entitled “A Woman’s Place Is In The Resistance”. Shannon lists out 8 ways we can take action. Below is what I felt directly applied to me and I found most encouraging because they’re things I’m already doing without even trying.

“Entrepreneurship: Start and grow your own businesses to increase your economic influence. Even in autocracies, women-owned businesses can drive economic growth and create jobs.” I’ve been doing this for 7 years now and often forget what an incredible impact owning a business has. I employ people and I contribute financially to our household.

@leahgreenb , co-founder of @indivisibleteam says we should find our community. By sharing my beliefs and voice, I am finding my community and you can do the same.

@rebeccaforassembly, California Assembly Member encourages us to use our voice. Not only do I use my voice on all of my platforms, but especially on my podcast, My Simplified Life. I also encourage every client I work with to use theirs. It’s literally my life’s work!

I would bet that you’re also doing things already that make you part of the resistance. Of course we can always do more, but I know that we are already on our way. If you haven’t read Shannon’s Substack, do so! She’s an incredibly beautiful human being inside and out and I’m so grateful for all she shares.

Use your voice. Share your story. Need help in doing that? I’m here. It’s what I do and I know the world needs to hear from each and every one of you.

Today we played tourists in San Francisco and visited Alcatraz (first time for the kids). This was not only a great history lesson but also a way for us to thank our @nationalparkservice Big shout out to Ranger Matt for his warm welcome! The crowd cheered for our NPS multiple times!

There is a new exhibit (since the last time I’d been there) about mass incarceration in America and both kids found it eye opening and informative.

We rounded out our day trip with some ice cream sundaes from @ghirardelli of course!

Let your NPS and Park Rangers know they’re appreciated and needed! We are so grateful to have this literally in our backyard!

I used to think I didn't like suspense and yet I'm

I used to think I didn't like suspense and yet I'm hooked on shows like Mayor Of Kingstown. I also love a great story about second chances and someone turning their life around...all reasons why I not only enjoyed reading THE BODY BROKERS but also getting to know Brian Cuban.⁠
⁠
Brian, (yes, he's Mark's brother) is an attorney and in long-term recovery from alcohol, cocaine and bulimia. He's also an author and speaker sharing his story to help others. I greatly appreciate Brian's honesty and openness and believe that makes him an incredibly brave person.⁠
⁠
Brian weaves his experience as a lawyer into THE BODY BROKERS as we follow Jason on his quest to find his girlfriend's killer. He brings to light the fentanyl epidemic that our country is seeing along with themes of addiction, trust and friendship. It is definitely a page turner! ⁠
⁠
I am so grateful Brian shared his personal story with me (and all of you!). He's definitely an inspiration and his tenacity deserves to be applauded. I love how he's able to take his experience and create entertaining stories for us to read and learn from. ⁠
⁠
How can you take your experiences and life lessons learned to turn them into lessons for others?⁠

Does one voice make a difference? YES!

I just sent out my Substack and am sharing how my one voice has made a difference. It’s not just my voice but I know that when we all speak up, the collective is heard. Yes, I’m reaching out to my elected officials, the Democratic Party, and even the CEO of PG&E (yes, I received an actual response!).

Last week I posted a pitch I received, so I’m sharing yet another one and why this one didn’t meet up to my standards, along with a huge part that was left out of the pitch!

I’m a big fan of showing support to those I’m inspired by and who I feel is doing the work so many of us benefit from. I often upgrade to a paid Substack subscription, I’ve donated to campaigns, I buy merch to support people (like this awesome shirt from @motherhoodforgood) and most recently I donated to my first PAC, @connectforwardpac which is revolutionizing a new media ecosystem for progressive politics. They’re looking at micro influencers, podcasters and more! I encourage you to support those you believe in, whether financially or by sending them a message of appreciation.

Books That Build bookclub is meeting next week! I’m gathering questions in advance of the live stream for Sami Sage!!

Kids are home this week, but the work doesn’t stop!

I’m a ModWife…it’s a term I want to start us

I’m a ModWife…it’s a term I want to start using because it’s what I believe the majority of us are…not the TradWife silliness that keeps popping up.

We share the division of labor in our house. We both work. We have political discussions and I’m never afraid of sharing my opinion or views with my husband. I’m independent and am raising both of my kids to be the same.

Please note that the definition of a TradWife is not the same as a Stay At Home Mom….NOT the same!

This year my 9 year old said absolutely not to Val

This year my 9 year old said absolutely not to Valentine’s Day cards…I asked if we could compromise and still ensure he reciprocated what his classmates might be doing for him.

Happy Commercialized Holiday!

We practice love daily around here but today did bring pink chocolate chip pancakes! Ted and I will be going out for our usual Friday lunch date but upgrading from Costco (although it still is a possibility!).

I made the kids’ Valentines this year because I’m not giving in to shopping at Target. I told Ted to not get me anything because I really don’t need anything…I’m content with material stuff.

What I really want for Valentine’s Day is the elimination of DOGEbags (thanks @podsaveamerica for repurposing one of my most used words!). I want people to use their voices and I want to Make America For Everyone (thank you @emilyinyourphone)!

If you’re posting about the expensive gifts you’re exchanging today or completely ignoring how our country is currently a dumpster fire, good for you…but please know that the rest of us are taking note.

Eat some chocolate. Call your Senators. Shop at Costco!

Suspense, twists and turns, doing whatever it take

Suspense, twists and turns, doing whatever it takes to get ahead, revenge...SWEET FURY is all of this and so.much.more!⁠
⁠
Sash Bischoff found herself wondering what to do with her career when the lights on Broadway went dark during Covid. SWEET FURY is what she ended up doing and it's a masterpiece on taking the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald and turning it into a story within a story. ⁠
⁠
We discussed the elements of misogyny within her book as well as in real life and how not only can men be misogynistic but women can be as well...and how different would it be if women came collectively together and agreed not to dislike other women?!?!⁠
⁠
Sash didn't want to write a story or have characters who could be put into a box or have a situation be black or white. There's a gray area and Sash offers that gray area to us all as a way to make us think about the sides of a story. ⁠
⁠
This book was so good and I promise you that it will surprise you. Just when I thought I knew what was happening and how it would end...I was totally wrong!⁠
