Episode 261 - "Book Review: Love and Rage with guest Jonathan Merker"In this deep and thought-provoking episode, Michelle and Scott sit down with therapist and educator Jonathan Merker to explore the powerful themes of Lama Rod Owens' book Love and Rage: The Path of Liberation through Anger. Together, they dive into how anger—often misunderstood or suppressed—can become a profound source of healing, truth, and personal liberation. Jonathan returns to the show and brings his expertise in trauma-informed care and emotional resilience to the conversation as they reflect on how to work with, not against, our rage in a world that often demands our silence. This episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating complex emotions, seeking spiritual growth, or simply wanting to turn pain into purposeful action.Keeping Your Sh*t Together in a Stressed World is a podcast hosted by Michelle Post, MA, LMFT and Scott Grossberg, JD, CLC, CCH, NLP, and is 30 minutes of raw, irreverent, and results-oriented discussion with one purpose in mind . . . to help you cope, thrive, and survive the craziness that's going on in the world.As a reminder, our “Get Your Sh*t Together” Home Retreat can be found here:http://thinkingmagically.com/retreatReplays of prior episodes can be found at:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/scott-grossbergYou can also join our Facebook group:https://www.facebook.com/groups/keepingystMichelle Post can be reached at michelle@postinternationalinc.com http://postinternationalinc.com

I don't just count days passing by. I make each day count. -Leslie Lawrence October is breast cancer awareness month, so we're featuring the inspiring stories of breast cancer survivors. Early detection has been a game changer in the fight against breast cancer, and I'm pretty sure that never missing my yearly mammogram saved my life. Promise me that you'll NEVER miss your mammogram! Today's episode was recorded at Book Love in the Pine Hills before a live audience. www.book-love.com. A first-time author, Leslie Lawrence is a 7-year breast cancer survivor www.leslielawrenceauthor.com. Written as a photographic memoir, I'm A Lucky Woman is filled with wisdom and deeply personal pictures that tell the story of one woman's journey from diagnosis to survivorship. As the daughter of a woman who died of breast cancer, Leslie spent her adult life dreading every mammogram and hoping against hope that she would never hear the words “You have breast cancer.” Those four words were spoken when Leslie was 66, and her late mother, Isabel, remained her role model throughout her treatment for aggressive triple negative breast cancer. Blessed with a rock-solid marriage, a devoted son, a niece, and many friends who love her, Leslie's tribe lifted her up, making it possible for her to endure every challenge. Says Leslie: “It was a old, framed cross-stitch on my wall that kept me hopeful, it reads: “Today is the tomorrow that worries you yesterday and all is well.” If you are newly diagnosed, I'm A Lucky Woman is an easy read, filled with the kind of wisdom only a survivor can impart.

  Nik Young, LMFT, and Alyssa Najera, LCSW, sit down with Jeff Pishney, CEO and Founder of Love Stanislaus County and Love Our Cities. Jeff shares how the initial city-wide volunteer effort, Love Modesto (based in Stanislaus County, California), became the working model for helping over 100 cities create their own city-wide volunteer efforts and year-round initiatives. Tune in to hear more about how Love Stanislaus County and Love Our Cities got started, how city-wide volunteerism is building connections and community, and how to get started in your own city. For practical steps on starting or expanding your city's volunteer efforts, check out Jeff's recent book, Love Our Cities: How a City-Wide Volunteer Day Can Unite and Transform Your Community, co-authored by Eric Jung. Interview with Jeff Pishney “Jeff Pishney is the CEO and Founder of Love Stanislaus County and Love Our Cities. Officially beginning as a non-profit organization in 2014, these city-wide volunteer days and other initiatives have helped over 100 cities and have had over 239,000 volunteers since beginning in 2009. Jeff recognizes that more sustainable solutions are needed beyond volunteer days in order to see our cities thrive. His efforts have evolved to championing ongoing volunteerism, collaboration among leaders and initiating programs for Neighbors, Schools, Kids and Seniors. Jeff grew up in Iowa, went to college and graduate school in Virginia and has been in Modesto, CA since 1995. Prior to being CEO, Jeff was a pastor for almost 20 years. As a college pastor, Jeff started to get a vision for his community. This vision grew when he became the outreach pastor during which Love Modesto began. Jeff and his wife, Karen, have been married for 18 years and have three children. Besides loving his family, Jeff is involved at his children's activities, passionate about justice issues and cheering on his Iowa Hawkeye” (bio from lovestanislauscounty.org).

Every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer. Let that sink in. How can it be? How can it be that cancer diagnoses are only growing at the same time that there is more and more funding to fight cancer, more and more cancer drugs and more and more cancer doctors? Well, Dr Toni Galardi has a few things to say about that.Dr. Toni Galardi has been speaking and coaching for over twenty years on the subject of change mastery. Her mission is to assist her clients and students in designing a road map to prepare for their next chapter, stopping the chronic pattern of waiting until a major crisis hits.With humor and grace she refers to herself as “the poster child for the change impaired” because it took three near fatal experiences for her to figure out there was another way to prepare for change. She is the author of the groundbreaking book The LifeQuakeTM Miracle: Awakening to Your True Purpose in Times of Personal and Global Upheaval; a body, mind, and spirit approach rooted in the neuroscience of mastering change, and her newest book “BreastQuake: Ten Proven Steps to Healing and Preventing Breast Cancer Without Surgery, Radiation, or Chemotherapy”. She has dedicated her life to helping you manage change with greater ease while living  a passionate, purpose filled life. Join us as we explore:The unbelievably frightening reality that every 2 minutes a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, how that diagnosis is being given to younger and younger women but incredible stories of healing and remission.Why men's breast cancer is also on the rise!Why women's emotional and spiritual relationship with their breasts really matters to their breast health, and the crux of self-love to holistic health.Careers that studies show make you more vulnerable to breast cancer.Why anger, resentment, bitterness and similar emotions are a direct link to breast cancer.How our toxic world and environment is at the root of increased breast cancer diagnosis, plus practical detox advice.Mentions:Product - Essiac tea, https://genuineessiac.com/blogs/news/genuine-essiac-was-featured-in-breastquake-a-title-by-dr-toni-galardi-released-on-october-6Person - Dr Jennifer Simmons, https://www.realhealthmd.com Book - Love, Medicine and Miracles, Bernie S.

Ann reported on The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon (Anchor 2015)West Hall, Vermont, has always been a town of strange disappearances and old legends. Themost mysterious is that of Sara Harrison Shea, who, in 1908, was found dead in the field behindher house just months after the tragic death of her daughter.Now, in present day, nineteen-year-old Ruthie lives in Sara's farmhouse with her mother, Alice,and her younger sister. Alice has always insisted that they live off the grid, a decision that hasweighty consequences when Ruthie wakes up one morning to find that Alice has vanished. Inher search for clues, she is startled to find a copy of Sara Harrison Shea's diary hidden beneaththe floorboards of her mother's bedroom. As Ruthie gets sucked into the historical mystery, shediscovers that she's not the only person looking for someone that they've lost. But she may bethe only one who can stop history from repeating itself.Creepy, goosebumpy, scary ghost stories aren't only for cool fall evenings. It turns out that themiddle of January in remote Vermont when it's buried in snow is also the perfect setting for apsychological thriller filled with ghosts.Written by Jennifer McMahon, this is two stories in one with the common factor the setting of anold farmhouse on a secluded road in the very small town of West Hall, Vermont. The storiesalternate: One takes place in January 1908, including flashbacks about 20 years earlier. Theother takes place in the present day, also in January. This thickly-wooded homestead includesan outcropping of giant boulders that looks so much like a hand, the area has always beencalled Devil's Hand. Wander too far into the woods, and you might not make it out alive.Something is going on here, and those who have seen it believe there are ghosts in this spookyforest.It's January 1908. Sara Harrison Shea and her husband Martin Shea live in the farmhouse withtheir little girl, Gertie, who is 8 years old. One day she is found dead, having fallen 50 feet downa well. Sara collapses in grief, but writes her fears, anguish, and hopes into a secret diary. Saracomes to an untimely and gruesome death, which remains the stuff of legend in West Hall ahundred years later. She hid her diary in one of the hidey-holes in the old farmhouse, and manypeople want to find it because in it she supposedly left instructions on how to raise the dead tolife.Meanwhile in the present-day, Alice Washburne lives in the same farmhouse with her twodaughters, Ruthie, 19, and Fawn, 6. Alice, who is widowed, has lived off the grid for about 20years. No computer. No cell phone. No links to anyone in the world. Even in this small town, noteveryone knows who she is. On New Year's Day, Alice disappears. More than anything, Alicedislikes the police, so Ruthie knows she shouldn't call the cops. (This is one of several plotpoints—some small, some big—that make the mystery work. If Ruthie did call the cops orsomeone didn't lock her cell phone in the car so she didn't have it when she really needed it,things would have worked out quite differently. A little cheesy, perhaps.) The two stories—pastand present—converge as Ruthie discovers dark secrets about her own past and thosesurrounding this strange house.This is one of the creepiest stories I have ever read, and while the plots from both time periodsare rather farfetched, the book is a page-turner. It will keep you up past your bedtime, and if youread it then, you may very well have nightmares.Tracey's book was A Dark and Snowy Night by Sally Goldenbaum, #5 in the Seaside KnittersMystery Series (Kensington 2022)It's holiday season in the picturesque, coastal town of Sea Harbor, Massachusetts!

Hardly checks ifthey're okay and sees injuries on both children. Someone is hurting these kids.He reports the incident to Child Protective Service.That should be the end of it. After all, Hardly's not even good at looking out for himself so the last thing hewants to do is look out for anyone else. But he's haunted by the two kids, his heart breaking for them.

This might be the one point in his entire life,he realizes, that is the entire point of his life.

The abusive father whohas been hurting these children isn't just a lawyer—he also runs a violent drug-dealing operation. The motherclaims she wants to escape with the kids—but Hardly isn't sure he can trust her.Faced with a different version of himself than he has ever known, Hardly refuses to give up.

Her marriage toan absent lord does at least provide some comforts, including a box at the Drury Lane theater, owned by theplaywright Richard Brinsley Sheridan. Abigail has always found respite at the theater, away from the ton'sjudgmental stares and the risks of her own secret work to help the cause of abolition—and her fears thatsomeone from her past wants her permanently silenced. But on one particular June evening everythingcollides, and the performance takes an unwelcome turn . . .Onstage, a woman emits a scream of genuine terror. A man has been found dead in the prop room, stabbedthrough the heart. Abigail's neighbor, Stapleton Henderson, is also in attendance, and the two rush backstage.The magistrate, keen to avoid bringing more attention to the case and making Lady Worthing more of a target,asks Abigail not to investigate. But she cannot resist, especially when the usually curmudgeonly Hendersonoffers his assistance.Abigail soon discovers a tangled drama that rivals anything brought to the stage, involving gambling debts, abeautiful actress with a parade of suitors, and the very future of the Drury Lane theatre. For Abigail the case iscomplicated still further, for one suspect is a leading advocate for the cause dearest to her heart—theabolition of slavery within the British empire. Uncovering the truth always comes at a price. But this time, itmay be far higher than she wishes to pay.

Welcome to our Summer of Book Love series!Our series concludes today as we meet Rebecca Turkewitz and her new new spooky story collection: Here in the Night.  New episodes of This Queer Book Saved My Life! drop next Tuesday! September 19th! What's it about? The thirteen stories in Rebecca Turkewitz's debut collection, Here in the Night, are engrossing, strange, eerie, and emotionally nuanced. Preoccupied with all manner of hauntings, these stories traverse a boarding school in the Vermont woods, the jagged coast of Maine, an attic in suburban Massachusetts, an elevator stuck between floors, and the side of an unlit highway in rural South Carolina.At the center of almost every story is the landscape of night, with all its tantalizing and terrifying potential. After dark, the familiar becomes unfamiliar, boundaries loosen, expectations fall away, and even the greatest skeptics believe—at least fleetingly—that anything could happen.Buy Here in the NightVisit our Bookshop or buy directly right now: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9781625570574And read Danez Smith's The 17 Year Old and the Gay Bar here at The Poetry Foundation's website.

Sex educator, filmmaker, and podcast host Tristan Taormino shares her coming-of-age story, revealing how her radical sexuality and unconventional career grew out of an extraordinary queer father-daughter relationship. Tristan's world began to fall apart when her dad was diagnosed with AIDS. After a series of devastating events, she moved to the messy, glorious world of 1990s New York City. In the midst of grief and depression, she helped change queer sexual subculture with her zine Pucker Up, her infamous The Village Voice column, and her editorship of legendary lesbian porn magazine On Our Backs. After the publication of her first book, The Ultimate Guide to Anal Sex for Women, Tristan followed her own path that marked the beginning of her work as a trailblazing feminist pornographer.Releasing in September 2023, you can pre-order through Duke University Press!Connect with Tristan TaorminoWebsite: tristantaormino.comInstagram: @tristantaorminoTwitter: @tristantaorminoFacebook: facebook.com/tristantaorminoBecome an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!

Welcome to our Summer of Book Love series! New episodes of This Queer Book Saved My Life! drop this September.Every Tuesday this summer we will feature new episodes of 7 Minutes in Book Heaven which has your next summer read!Today we meet Dr. Gwen Bass and her new memoir: Immaculate Misconception: A Story of Biology and Belonging.What's it about? In the early 1980's, 95% of all artificial inseminations were performed for married, heterosexual couples. Among the other 5% were people like Gwen's parents– lesbians navigating a homophobic medical system ready to deny them children. They found a doctor willing to perform the procedure in secret, using sperm from an anonymous donor. She grew up straddling two worlds. In one–rainbow flags waved and love made a family. In the other– she and her family tried to fit in with everyone else. Immaculate Misconception isn't just a window into a sliver of queer history, it raises questions we all grapple with: who we are and the forces that influence us. It's a reflection on nature, nurture, identity, and belonging.After earning her BA in Psychology and Education, Gwen became a teacher and school counselor. She then pursued an M.Ed in school counseling and her doctorate in special education while training and mentoring teachers on practical, evidence-based tools to nurture kids' educational and emotional well-being.Buy Immaculate MisconceptionVisit our Bookshop or buy directly right now: https://bookshop.org/a/82376/9798889269526Connect with Dr. Gwen BassWebsite: drgwenbass.comInstagram: @drgwenbassFacebook: facebook.com/drgwenbassLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-gwen-bassBecome an Associate Producer!Become an Associate Producer of our podcast through a $20/month sponsorship on Patreon!
