"One way a child of Jody's age deals with loss is that you don't miss the person, in a sense you can become them. So, I have her step into the mother role, immediately trying to look after the younger ones and then wearing her mother sunglasses - it's like she becomes her and then you don't miss her so much. The neighbor is like an analyst figure, and she goes over and talks to this woman, Juliette, a very kind woman. I had Juliette say to her: ‘The way I see it, a death doesn't happen just once, it's like we have to keep being reminded that someone is gone - remember her - miss her a little more, until one day we can remember her without all the sad feelings. I have her to be the model for that for Jody - that's the way you mourn, you have to keep remembering they're gone, lose them again, remember them and lose them again'." Episode Description: We begin with Kerry describing the storyline of her novel which starts with the sudden death of a young mother leaving behind five children and a husband. The story is seen through the eyes of the 13-year-old daughter, Jody, who recounts the family's challenges through her own coming-of-age experiences. Tenderness and humor abound. The poignancy of this novel is made more real as it recounts some of the author's own experiences as a young girl faced with the sudden death of her mother. We discuss the areas of overlap between fiction and reality and how her work as a psychoanalyst informs her ability to represent the thinking of the characters in the book. We discuss being surprised as a writer and a clinician and the ever-present imagining that people are never really dead. Our Guest: Kerry L. Malawista, Ph.D. is a writer and psychoanalyst in McLean VA. She is co-chair of New Directions in Writing. Her essays have appeared nationally in newspapers, magazines and literary journals including The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Baltimore Sun, The Boston Globe, Zone 3, Washingtonian Magazine, The Huffington Post, Bethesda Magazine and Arlington Magazine. She is the co-author of Wearing my Tutu to Analysis and Other Stories (2011), The Therapist in Mourning: From the Faraway Nearby (2013), When the Garden Isn't Eden: More Psychoanalytic Concepts from Life (2022) all published by Columbia University Press, and Who's Behind the Couch (2017) published by Routledge Press. Meet the Moon is her first novel.

We welcomed Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, OD, FCOVD, on 2o23's inaugural Healthy Step Show on 88.5 WMNF Tampa and discussed the implications of capitalism on global health. He discussed how capitalism is eating humans alive, as seen in the US immigration debacle, the cashless society, and the Food and Drug Administration's negligence in protecting people from artificial dyes and flavors in food. He also discussed the effectiveness of amber lenses, blue blockers, in improving sleep quality, and Bob, a caller to the show, discussed how capitalism is affecting the Tampa Bay area in the form of tearing down trees to build condos. "Capitalism is eating humans alive. It uses them for the fodder to pave its way through profit. So we need to rethink this whole system and really consider what's going on here. Because this is not just about money. This is about people's access to food, to health care, to shelter, to water." - Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, OD, FCOVD Dr. Appelbaum is on a mission to change the way the world views vision.

She is the mother of two children, a lawyer, journalist and author of several books. She leads writing/empowerment retreats for women, is the podcast host of “Becoming Your Best Version” and is a co-host of the Inside Out radio show on WPFW-fm, 89.3, in Washington, D.C.

She has written for The Washington Post, Washingtonian, Bethesda Magazine, Thrive Global, Parenting, BabyTalk, Women's Day and Washington For Women. She recently returned to practicing law now that her children are launched. Mommy, Why's Your Skin So Brown? is her first children's book. Healing for Hallie is her second children's book. Not the Cleaver Family--The New Normal in Modern American Family, was released in November 2016. Her latest book, 50 After 50--Reframing the Next Chapter of Your Life, has been used as a vehicle to help thousands of people across the country reinvigorate their lives.

Bethesda Magazine's Contributing Editor Louis "Lou" M. Peck will join A Miner Detail this weekend to discuss some of the hottest upcoming political races in Maryland. A veteran Washington journalist with decades of experience, Peck will dish out the detail on the upcoming 2018 elections, including Maryland's gubernatorial race, the 6th Congressional District and the Montgomery County Council and Executive races.
