In today's episode we are joined by Adam Gibson from Parents with Questions. Parents with Questions is a bunch of parents with curious minds who want to make sure we have all the information about COVID vaccinations for our kids. We want to encourage each other to do our own research, trust our wisdom as parents and say ‘no' until we are 100% sure. Adam and I welcome open minds, open hearts and serious questions. Will you join us? Head to https://www.stephlowe.com/podcasts/374 for show notes, episode transcripts and more.

A Conversation with Adam Gibson of Parents with Questions Adam is a very appropriate first guest for the First Episode of the Third season of Under the Wire. Having had a long history in fitness/body building, natural health and business coaching, Adam had all the skills required to put together a strong organisation dedicated to showing people how to stand up to coercion and how to help others do the same. With a group of friends who, like Adam, were all concerned about the direction Australia was taking regarding COVID jabs – especially when it comes to children, Parents with Questions was established only 4 months ago. In that short period of time, it has gone a long way towards giving people the tools to become leaders in their own right as well as to become more confident about having those vital conversations with others about these issues. For those who would like to learn more, here is their excellent website

There are so many fascinating people in this world — and one of them, an angel named James “Jimmy Mack” McDowell walked into my life and showed me that I should look forward to getting older. Forever young at 90 when I met him, he remained evergreen until he passed away earlier this year, which was a few months after his 99th birthday. Jimmy was a big band singer during WWII, and subsequently experienced an amazing life filled with fun and entertainment. Jimmy was a renowned broadcaster, both on radio and tv, then became a professional DJ, photographer, and videographer. He built his life around music and kept a pulse on Central Indiana entertainment. Jimmy and the woman who would become his wife, Peggy, wrote thousands of pages of letters during their engagement while Jimmy was stationed overseas during WWII. Part of the reason he was a prolific typist, is that he took (4) semesters of typing to graduate from HS in Lincoln, NE. After being drafted, he was stationed at Camp Atterbury. Typing was a highly coveted skill in the Army and Jimmy was stationed with a medical unit, where he would triage incoming patients. He was stationed within the 8th Air Corps in England. Listen as Jimmy's daughters, Bonnie McDowell Hinkle and Robin McDowell, and I reminisce about their dad and growing up with “showbiz” parents.

When the Australian Federal Government announced that it would start a jab rollout in January 2022 for kids aged 5 to 11, Adam Gibson looked around to see what parents would do about it.

Dodson was involved in a fatal car crash that claimed the life of her fiance. After recovering from her own injuries, she changed her major from investment banking to pre-law. During the course of an internship for a Congressman, Dodson was introduced to lobbying. Dodson worked for a law firm as a lobbyist representing the Amusement Parks. It was during that time that Dodson met Emily Hunt, a young woman badly injured in an amusement park accident that claimed the life of Hunt's grandmother and rendered Hunt a quadriplegic. Hunt was lobbying for increased safety inspections at amusement parks. Dodson was representing the other side. After a hearing on this issue, Dodson returned to the law firm and told her boss that they needed a compromise. The managing partner said no. Dodson quit two months later. (the law firm no longer exists) That summer, reports of abuse and neglect leaked out about the treatment of patients with special needs at state-run institutions. And she had no history of people with disabilities but was called to help in this effort, as it greatly offended her. Dodson called The Arc of Indiana. Then Executive Director John Dickerson was looking for a lobbyist. Now 20+ years later, Dodson is the Executive Director and advocating for equality for those with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Listen to Kim's story and the importance of the Arc's mission and their amazing accomplishments — and they are just getting started.

STAND by Kathryn Bertine is a powerful memoir on activism. It's also a how-to manual for progress. When Kathryn Bertine was six years old, she rode her bike to kindergarten in Bronxville, NY. One morning on the way to school, the chain fell off. She reattached the chain by herself and that day in class, her teacher asked the students what they wanted to do when they grew up. Kathryn confidently, and legibly, wrote out, “I want to be a fix-it woman. I want to fix broken things.” This proclamation could not have been more prophetic. Documentarian, professional cyclist, author of four books, founder of the Homestretch Foundation, Kathryn Bertine is the Katherine Schwitzer* of cycling. Along her journey of exposing and repairing the ugly misogyny and sexism within professional women's cycling, Kathryn experienced ordinary and extraordinary miracles. The ordinary miracles nudged her along and provided validation that she was doing the right thing. The extraordinary ones saved her life. HALF THE ROAD is her documentary (crowdfunded via Indiegogo) on the inequalities of women's professional cycling. It has been a literal uphill battle but Kathryn found solace within the peloton and helped create (revive) a women's Tour de France event, “La Course by Tour de France” (you must say the entire thing…as branding with Tour de France was initially an issue and only applied to the men's race). “The mission of The Homestretch Foundation is to level the playing field of salary discrepancy in sport, so that female professional athletes have the same wages and equal opportunities as male professional athletes. Regardless of an athlete's socioeconomic and/or life circumstances,  we want all women to pursue their careers as athletes without compromise, inequality or injustice.”     — Kathryn Bertine, Founder. Kathryn helps me close out Season 1 of Finding Joy with Kara, and I could not have selected a more ideal conversation. We conducted our podcast recording (coincidentally) on #EQUALPAYDAY with Megan Rapinoe testifying on Capital Hill and the same day that the NCAA announced an investigative review of how it treats its female athletes (“March Madness” is a brand only affiliated with the men's tournament, not the women's). As a mom of a dual sport (rowing + soccer) D1 Big10 female badass athlete, I am all too aware of the sexism and misogyny that exists within FIFA and university sports — and inside top business schools — but I had no idea how BAD it was within the world of women's professional cycling (think Dark Ages, folks). There is so much work to be done in the fight for equality. We are in the early stages of this long game. I strongly encourage you to not only listen to this interview, but watch Kathryn's documentary HALF THE ROAD, and read STAND — it's a journey you will not regret taking with her. *Kathrine Schwitzer was the first woman to run the Boston marathon, at a time (1967) when men thought women couldn't run that distance without their uterus falling out — no joke. You could not make up this level of ignorance. (see kathrineswitzer.com)   It's upon her shoulders that we stand.

Marlin is a humanitarian, a social entrepreneur, a husband, and is the father he never had to his three young boys.

Saidah Pearsall is a reluctant entrepreneur. As a child, she was a burn victim and her mother healed her wounds with homemade salves. When Saidah's daughter, a competitive gymnast, needed something to help her intensively dried hands, Saidah created a miracle balm. Her daughter was in awe of the product and said " Mom, you should be selling this!" That statement launched a company — thus creating the Shea BODYWORKS product line, featuring the Happy Hands + Feet balm. It truly is a pedicure in a jar! Shea BODYWORKS has experienced its challenges and when faced with the pandemic, Saidah recognized the need for her to step forward into the light as the head of her amazing product line. Easier said than done being a Black woman. Our conversation goes deep quickly. I realized just how little I knew about the depths of racism. Shea BODYWORKS was selected as one of Yelp's Sweet 16 Businesses for 2020 for their Maskin and Relaxin virtual event. Saidah's live virtual beauty tips filmed from her (stunning) kitchen make you feel like you are having a glass of wine with a friend while learning homemade recipes for facial peels. Saidah is an inspiration — and she's a beautiful person inside and out.

Over a decade ago, I walked into a room that Iva lit up by her presence. Iva is the one whom Elizabeth Gilbert references in her memoir, Eat Pray Love when Liz is wanting to finalize her divorce. Iva suggests writing a petition to God (Universe). If you have not read this book, or it's been a while, this scene is one of the more profound miracles in the book. This is what Iva does, she facilitates miracles. Growing up in Beirut, Lebanon, Iva and her family lived through a war and moved to the United States. Iva's journey is thoughtfully captured in her own words in her memoir, From Rifles to Roses: Memories and Miracles. In our conversation, we explore her journey and the miraculous story of her mom's healing. Iva Nasr (NUHsir) is a teacher, seer, mentor, and author working internationally. In her anecdotal and light-hearted way, she guides a Modern Mind: Open Up • Align • Focus • Shine ™. Her private Intuitive Readings, classes, on-going dialogues, and life testimonials give hope and inspire mind expansion and action. Iva's very being is a beacon of light for the world.
