Hudson's step-grandmother went on national television and said what the public has been demanding for months: charge the parents. She called the cruise “a recipe for disaster.” She said the family knew the situation and put those kids together anyway.That's not a stranger with an opinion. That's a family member — someone who knows the dynamics inside that household — publicly breaking rank during an active federal murder case. And the detail she's not the only one raising: Anna's ex-boyfriend says Anna was scared of Hudson and would sleep at friends' houses just to avoid being around him.Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer examines what it means when a family member publicly accuses other family members during an ongoing prosecution, whether the Crumbley precedent applies to a vacation room decision on a cruise ship, and why the jurisdictional reality — a Panamanian-flagged ship in international waters — may make criminal charges against the parents legally impossible regardless of the facts.Timothy Hudson, 16, faces first-degree murder and a second federal charge. He remains free on bond. The question of parental accountability has no easy answer — and it may have no legal path.Footer Links:Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What does it take to stop living the life you were handed and start building the one you actually want? In this episode of Sense of Self, Dr. Gowri Aragam sits down with Erin Gums, certified coach, breath work guide, and founder of Tap Into Your Wellspring, for one of the most honest, courageous conversations this show has ever hosted. Erin grew up in Oakland, California, the child of a Black father with deep Bay Area roots and a Chamorro mother from the Northern Mariana Islands. She was sensitive, perceptive, and wired for connection in a world that didn't always know what to do with that. What followed was a years-long journey through family fracture, identity searching, compulsive achievement, and the slow, hard work of learning to trust herself. This episode explores what it means to carry silence, to perform comfort around people who hurt you, and to finally choose your own safety, even when it costs you everything familiar. Erin's story is not easy, but it is deeply human. And for anyone who has ever felt caught between the family they came from and the person they're becoming, it will feel like being seen. Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of childhood sexual abuse and family trauma. If you or someone you love is struggling, please call or text 988.

For over a century, Pennsylvania has been a hotspot for UFO encounters that baffle experts and leave witnesses questioning reality. From glowing discs in remote lakes to crafts that defy physics, the Keystone State's skies are filled with the mysterious, paranormal, and extraterrestrial.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources):  https://weirddarkness.com/PennsylvaniaUFOsREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/ye247nxkFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: Pennsylvania has always been a land of mysteries in the skies. It has become one of the most intriguing destinations for UFO sightings throughout the years, with tales that date back long before the term “flying saucer” was even coined. From glowing discs hovering over fields, to objects that break the laws of physics, the state's history is filled with encounters that leave you wondering what might actually be out there. And these are not mere passing glimpses; these are encounters that can leave a witness profoundly shaken – altered for life. There's the Carbondale incident, where strange lights in a lake sent people into a panic. There's the experienced aviator who encountered something that decades in the cockpit could not explain. There are numerous accounts of silent craft and disc-shaped objects, eerie lights in the sky — occasions when the stars were blotted out. There are reports of the stopping of time, an encounter that had state troopers speechless, and even an extraterrestrial werewolf-like entity. From the earliest sightings in 1917 through more modern accounts, Pennsylvania's connection to the UFO phenomenon is undeniable, if not unbelievable. What's going on in the skies over the Keystone State? And why is it happening there in particular?CHAPTERS & TIME STAMPS (All Times Approximate)…00:00:00.000 = The Foreboding00:01:37.162 = Show Open00:02:45.008 = Chapter 01: Lanterns and Lies: The Carbondale UFO Mystery00:11:48.101 = Chapter 02: Eerie Lights in Erie ***00:15:12.728 = Chapter 03: The Oil City Light Show00:16:46.996 = Chapter 04: Saylor's Lake, Silent Lights, and a Stunned State Trooper00:18:09.833 = Chapter 05: A Tent, A Grandmother, And A Silent Visitor Overhead00:20:02.281 = Chapter 06: The Wainwright's Werewolf00:25:33.631 = Chapter 07: The Black Circle In The Sky ***00:27:55.349 = Chapter 08: Friday Night Lights In The Sky00:30:36.853 = Chapter 09: Playing Chicken With An Experienced Pilot00:32:40.481 = Chapter 10: Mind Probing and Time Stopping00:35:41.135 = Chapter 11: The First Saucers00:41:31.466 = Chapter 12: Why Pennsylvania? ***00:44:16.924 = Show Close & Bloopers*** = Begins immediately after inserted ad breakLISTEN ON PODCAST APPS: Look for this podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, Amazon Music, Pandora, TuneIn Radio, and other podcast apps.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: February 24, 2025Weird Darkness traces more than a century of unexplained encounters in the skies over Pennsylvania, from a glowing disc submerged in a Carbondale lake to a werewolf-faced figure tied to a silent craft, the apparent stopping of time outside New Kensington, and the geography researchers believe may explain why the Keystone State draws so many sightings.It opens with the Carbondale incident of November 1974, when teenagers Bill Lloyd, John Lloyd, and Bob Gillette watched a golden-white light streak from the direction of Salem Mountain and drop near the lake outside Russell Park. A disc-shaped glow moved beneath the water, the surface fizzed and turned a sickly green-yellow, and when Officers Barbero and Jacobina fired their weapons at it, the object appeared to dodge the shots. The boys overheard a police radio order to hold off the news media, watched a scuba diver surface screaming, and saw a crane and delivery truck brought to the water's edge under the eye of Police Chief Francis Dottle — only for divers to later produce a single old railroad worker's lantern and declare the whole thing a hoax. Matt Graeber of the UFO Report and Information Center in Philadelphia arrived at five in the morning to find a crowd of between fifteen hundred and three thousand people ringing the lake.From there the episode moves to February 1975 in Simpson, where a driver on Route 171 joined other motorists pulled over to watch red and green lights hover before a white beam appeared and the object shot off faster than a fighter jet. That June, two friends fishing at Red Bank near the Allegheny Reservoir tracked a craft that stopped dead in midair and hovered for roughly an hour, then heard KDKA radio report at six-thirty that morning that a UFO had crashed into an eastern Pennsylvania lake and the National Guard had it surrounded, before the story disappeared from every outlet. Near Erie around the same stretch, two motorists stopped to study a silent disc about eighty feet across hanging a thousand feet up, ringed with red, yellow, blue, and green lights, and afterward never spoke of it to each other again.Next comes Oil City on November 1, 1974, where CB radio chatter about lights near the Vocational Technical Center across from Oil City High School drew a group of brothers out to look. They found three or four bright lights spread miles apart, moving in geometric formations no aircraft could manage, performing for nearly two hours in front of hundreds of onlookers.The account then shifts to Saylor's Lake in Monroe County on the evening of March 1, 1973, where lights began darting fifteen hundred feet above the water around seven-thirty, shifting between white, red, and blue. State Trooper Jeffrey Hontz, sent to investigate, later told the press the display looked like Christmas trees flying in the air. Witnesses counted roughly forty separate lights, all of them silent at an altitude where planes or helicopters would have roared, and the spectacle lasted until just before eleven.That summer of 1973 in Erie, a teenager sleeping in a backyard tent to escape the heat saw a red, star-like object cross the sky with apparent purpose and ran inside to fetch his grandmother. By the time the two returned, the sky had filled with colored star-like objects moving at impossible angles and near-collisions before they winked out of existence rather than flying away, and the grandmother, though she had watched the whole half-hour, afterward refused to discuss any of it.The most frightening encounter belongs to Bensalem on August 27, 1973, when Alan and Elsie Wainwright saw a boomerang-shaped craft glide silently over their home, halt overhead, and d

Two listeners. Two encounters that span entire lifetimes. And something that's been watching their families long before they were born.Fran has seen it eleven times: a figure at a distance, always her height, always in her clothes, always moving toward an appointment she doesn't know about yet. Always between mid-afternoon and dusk. And the way her mother went quiet when she first described it as a child says Fran isn't the only one who's seen it.Then Hugo watches a shape move across the night sky with a wrongness physics can't explain and knows, in his chest, that he's seen it before. Months later he finds his late grandmother's unsent letter from the 1960s. Same shape. Same wrongness. And the exact word he'd reached for: acknowledged.No bangs. No shadows. Just the sense of being recognised by something that's known your bloodline for generations.Producer Dom unpacks the dark folklore: the Scottish co-walker that wears your face like camouflage, the Norse fylgja that goes ahead so you follow, and the watchers said to track chosen families across centuries.What happens when the thing following you isn't yours and was invited in long before you were born?A Create Podcast Hosted on Acast.

What helps you stay grounded when life gets difficult? In this episode of Perspectives, Rev. Drs. Hannah and Brittany of First United Methodist Church of San Diego explore Luke 6:43-49 and Jesus' powerful images of trees, fruit, and firm foundations. Together, they discuss how faith is formed long before life's storms arrive—and why spiritual growth is less about avoiding hardship and more about developing the resilience to face it. The female pastors ultimately ask: What if discipleship isn't a "cost" to be paid, but a spiritual gym where we build the strength, courage, wisdom, and grounding needed to weather life's challenges? This progressive Christian conversation explores: Building faith for difficult times Faith as formation rather than achievement Why Jesus promises storms, not storm-free lives The connection between our inner life and outward actions Spiritual growth as a lifelong practice, not a one-time event Move from control to trust, certainty to surrender Discipleship being a rooting, grounding, and deepening rather than a “cost to be paid” Reflection Questions: What habits or influences are shaping the condition of my heart? Are there areas where my actions do not match my values or beliefs? What practices help me stay grounded when life becomes difficult?

What would happen if you called your grandmother out of the blue and asked her to go camping that night? For Brad Ryan, that impulsive phone call sparked a seven-year journey across all 63 U.S. national parks. Along the way, he and Grandma Joy, now 96, healed old wounds, faced down lifelong fears, and became unlikely internet stars. Brad's new book, Grandma Joy and Me: A Journey of Healing One National Park at a Time, out June 16th, tells the whole story. In this episode, Brad talks with host Aislyn Greene about what he witnessed in his grandmother over those years—the phenomenon he describes as reverse aging, the way movement and purpose and intergenerational connection seemed to make her healthier and more coordinated over time, not less. He also reflects on the healing that happened in the car: the long stretches of road through South Dakota, the yellow line hypnosis, the conversations that finally surfaced after years of silence. And he shares what he learned writing the book: about his father, about his family's Irish roots, and about what it means to find pride in an imperfect lineage. In this episode Why Brad made the call—and what was happening in his life that led him there What Joy said when he pitched 63 parks How road trips create the conditions for conversations that can't happen anywhere else What the national parks offer as a place for connection across every kind of divide Grandma Joy's relationship with fear—near-drowning as a child, white-water rafting in Alaska at 90 Why Brad thinks the loneliness crisis among older Americans is something the parks could actually help address Resources Grandma Joy and Me: A Journey of Healing One National Park at a Time by Brad Ryan, out June 16th Read the Afar story about Brad and Joy Follow Brad and Grandma Joy on Instagram Check out Brad and Grandma Joy's summer 2026 book tour (stops in Colorado, Montana, Wyoming, Washington, Oregon, and California) Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Thursday, June 4th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark China's Tiananmen Square massacre anniversary Today is the 37th anniversary of China's Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. In the weeks leading up to the tragic event, students were protesting for democracy in Beijing. The Communist Chinese government responded by forcibly putting down the protests. Hundreds, if not thousands, died in the massacre. China's military also arrested leaders in the underground church which had fueled the protests.  Communist Chinese denying Bible to imprisoned pastors Speaking of China, the country continues its persecution of the church. International Christian Concern reports Communist officials are denying access to Bibles for imprisoned pastors. Authorities arrested three leaders of Maizhong Reformed Church last year. Their family members requested to send them Bibles during their imprisonment. But officials refused the request and subjected the families to more intimidation.  Please pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters in Christ of the underground church in China.  According to Open Doors, China is the 17th most oppressive country worldwide for Christians. Please send a 2-3 sentence letter urging officials to give the Bible to imprisoned pastors. Send it to Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng, Chinese Embassy, 3505 International Place NW, Washington DC 20008. Africa's fertility rate above replacement level Pew Research reports that Africa boasts a young and growing population compared to the rest of the world. The continent is home to 19 percent of people around the globe. And it contains 28 percent of all people under the age of 25. In the next 75 years, nearly half of the world's young people are projected to live in Africa. Also, it is the only world region where the fertility rate is above the replacement level.  Scotland officials drop case against pro-life grandmother The government of Scotland recently dropped its case against a pro-life, Christian grandmother. Last September, authorities arrested 75-year-old Rose Docherty. She was simply holding a sign near an abortion mill in Glasgow. The sign read: “Coercion is a crime. Here to talk, only if you want.”   A court cleared her of criminal charges in April. And Scotland's prosecution office dropped the case last month.   Listen to comments from Mrs. Docherty after her victory. DOCHERTY: “I was arrested, charged, and prosecuted for nothing more than peacefully inviting consensual conversation in a public space that I was permitted to be in. When I was arrested, I was handcuffed, placed in the back of a police van, and placed in a police cell for over two hours without a chair to sit on. Simply for being available for the lonely, the afraid, and the coerced, I have been treated like a violent criminal. “But thankfully, today the charges have been dismissed. The judge ruled that the charges were irrelevant and that they were a breach of my Article 10 free speech rights. Thank you all for your support and prayers. Thank you to ADF International and my entire legal team, who were brilliant. “Nobody should be criminalized for consensual conversations, and I am glad that that truth has been vindicated here today.” In Matthew 5:10, Jesus said, “Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven.” Trump proposed new tariffs on 60 countries In the United States, the Trump administration proposed new tariffs of up to 12.5 percent on 60 economies. The U.S. Trade Representative's ‌office released the proposal on Tuesday. It accuses these economies of failing to curb the importation of goods produced with forced labor. These economies include China, India, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and Canada.   Episcopal Church installed lesbian bishop in North Carolina An Episcopal Diocese in North Carolina installed Sarah Fisher, a self-avowed lesbian, as its bishop last month. She is living in unnatural relations with another woman, Mandy Brady, who is an Episcopal priestess. It is reportedly the denomination's first appointment of its kind in the American south.  Back in 1977, the Episcopal Church received its first homosexual into the clergy. Since then, membership has declined by nearly 50 percent as it has rejected clear Biblical teaching. Gallup poll: Americans less likely to support sexual perversion now A new survey from Gallup found that Americans are becoming less likely to support sexually perverted lifestyles. Support for such sinful lifestyles grew rapidly for two decades, peaking five years ago. Now, 65 percent of U.S. adults favor legal homosexual unions. That's down from a high of 71 percent in 2022. Similarly, 62 percent support homosexual relations now, down from 71 percent over the same time period. Wycliffe Bible Translators celebrated 800th Bible translation And finally, Wycliffe Bible Translators celebrated its 800th Bible translation this week. About 6.2 billion people now have the complete Bible in their own language.  It took over 1,900 years to translate the Bible into 400 languages. The next 400 translations were completed in just the last 28 years.   Isaiah 11:9-10 says, “The Earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea. And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him, and His resting place shall be glorious.”  Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, June 4th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Saloon music playing at 3am, cabinets flung open, a white mist drifting down the hall... and a grandmother whose fingernails on the wall didn't stop after she passed. With a family rooted in Brujería and a rival witch's curse in their history, we dig into why some families seem to attract the paranormal no matter where they go.Then Bear writes in from the Eastern Shore of Maryland with stories from his time in Montana... including a figure hovering outside a window seven feet off the ground, shadow people making phone calls, and something on the Battle of Little Bighorn grounds that may not be human at all. We get into skin walkers, elementals, and why Montana's energy hits differently than anywhere else.Finally, Parajunkie Prachi brings us part two of her story: astral projection, a charming salesman who shows up in a dream and asks to come in, a door in the ceiling surrounded by entities, and a husband who starts seeing her face twisted into something with a wolf's mouth and sharp teeth. We break down what happens when you leave your body unguarded... and who's waiting.-If you have a ghost story you'd like us to read and analyze, send it to ghostmail@hauntedcitypodcast.com.-We're paranormal investigators living in the most haunted city on earth — Savannah, Georgia.#ghoststories #paranormal #hauntedcity #ghostmail #savannah #paranormalinvestigation #astralProjection #haunted #trueghostsories #poltergeist

In episode 250 of the Transition Drill Podcast, explore breaking free from toxic cultures and rewriting your identity in transition for veterans and first responders navigating the high stakes of civilian life. You'll hear Riley Gruppo on overcoming systemic isolation, a traumatic medical retirement, and the pressure to be perfect, and what it takes to reclaim your personal mission as an entrepreneur.Riley grew up in a chaotic military family, groomed for a life of service under intense pressure. Seeking her own path, she entered an Early Commissioning Program at Valley Forge Military Academy before finishing her degree at Pepperdine University. Driven by ego and a fierce desire to prove her critics wrong, she chose the infantry branch right as combat arms roles opened to women.Her time on active duty at Fort Benning was defined by physical grit and systemic hurdles. Riley faced isolating dynamics as a woman in a heavily male dominated space, but she outperformed expectations until a severe knee injury forced a trajectory change. She pivoted to lead an integrated training unit on Sand Hill, but the unrelenting demands of command left no space to process personal loss, including the sudden death of her grandmother.Ultimately, a medical retirement forced her out of the uniform. Riley stepped into the corporate world in survival mode, quickly recognizing that the toxic cultures she tolerated in uniform existed in civilian offices too. After recognizing her skills in strategic planning and operations were highly transferable, she made the bold choice to quit corporate life and build her own brand, The Standard.Today, she helps clients navigate pivotal career transitions using a framework focused on the mind, body, and mission. She is also a passionate advocate for veteran healthcare, partnering with the Aspen Elevation Institute to pioneer cutting edge treatments for traumatic brain injuries and PTSD. Riley proves that when you leave the military, the ultimate mission becomes taking care of yourself.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comCHAPTERS00:00:00 - Intro: The Question That Opens Grief00:03:18 - Grandmother as the Anchor00:06:38 - Relearning How to Be Human00:08:38 - Groomed for the Infantry00:12:20 - Texas, Divorce, and Survival00:15:27 - Broken Homes, Servant Hearts00:21:19 - Good Memories Inside Chaos00:22:24 - Excellence Built on Fear00:25:24 - Living Alone Senior Year00:29:08 - Valley Forge and the Hard Way00:36:42 - Choosing Infantry00:38:00 - The Injury That Changed the Path00:44:18 - Pivoting Away From Infantry00:50:24 - The Cost Behind the Badge00:55:33 - Medically Retired, Ready to Leave00:58:09 - Seeing the Culture After Leaving01:03:30 - Isolation in Uniform01:09:30 - Women, Competition, and Change01:25:00 - Now the Mission Is You01:38:04 - Healing the Brain, Helping OthersSPONSORS:GRND Collective: Premium, veteran-owned sportswear built for those who show up, outwork the excuses, and give 100%.

"The grandmother of St Basil the Great, she was outstanding for her intellect and piety. She was a disciple of St Gregory the Wonder-worker of Neocaesarea. In the reign of Diocletian, she abandoned her home and hid in the forests and desert places with her husband, Basil. Although their home was confiscated, they felt no pangs of regret. Stripped of everything except their love for God, they settled in an ancient forest and spent seven years there. By God's providence, goats would come down from the mountains and provide them with food. They both died peacefully in the fourth century, after great sufferings for the Christian faith." (Prologue)

We called my grandmother “Skip,” though her name was Rose Margolin. She was strong - but not in a way that drew attention. She expected a great deal of us, and even more from herself, and that shaped the atmosphere around her more than anything she ever said. On her Yartzeit, I remember her many quiet unrecognized acts of kindness, as well as her concern for our upbringing and proper comportment: sitting up straight, no bottles on the dinner table, don't compliment yourself. My grandfather was very different. More public, more outward. And yet together, they shared a clear sense of what kind of people they wanted to be in our lives - and they lived in a way that made that vision real.

In the 10 years since losing her mother to gun violence Bunny Beeks has made it her mission to help other families endure these senseless tragedies and find justice. Now, she has honored her mother's legacy once again by successfully asking the city to place her name, Birdell Beeks, on the street sign over the very intersection in north Minneapolis where her life was taken in May 2016. It happened in broad daylight while she sat in her minivan in the middle of crossfire she had nothing to do with. Bunny Beeks joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini in the studio to reflect on the time that has passed since her mother's death and the work that remains.

Most people spend their whole lives solving problems that aren't the actual problem.I sat down with Danny Morel, transformational coach, speaker, and author of Awaken, to talk about what it really takes to stop outsourcing your power and start doing the inner work that changes everything. Not the kind of change that looks good on paper. The kind that actually holds.What we explore:- Why grief can crack open the questions you've been avoiding for decades, and why that's actually the beginning of something good.- How overachieving quietly becomes its own form of hiding, and why society keeps handing out rewards for it.- What re-parenting actually means, and why the real healing work happens inside you, not in a conversation with your mom or dad.- How to shift from victim consciousness to creator consciousness so every person in your life becomes a teacher instead of a problem.- What the masculine and feminine actually are beneath the culture war noise, and why integrating both is the foundation for everything else.Chapters00:00 Why Danny Morel Started Asking Hard Questions02:39 3 Questions After His Mom Passed 04:43 Sitting Still as the Most Powerful Healing Tool 09:17 Being You Requires No Effort 14:14 How Your Mother's Wounds Became Yours 17:12 When Logic Fails: Plant Medicine and Ceremony21:02 You Learned Pain So You Can Unlearn It 24:55 Re-Parenting Yourself From Within30:58 From Victim to Creator Consciousness36:35 What Ceremony Revealed About Divorce and Kids39:02 How Danny Avoids Becoming a Guru40:10 The Ladder of Consciousness Explained Simply48:27 Breathwork, Cannabis, Mushrooms, and Ayahuasca56:08 Why Religion Taught You to Outsource Your Power 57:29 Why Alcoholics Are Sensitive People in Pain01:04:16 The Truth About Masculine and Feminine Energy01:06:36 The Infinity Symbol and How Energy Really Works 01:10:54 Adam, Eve, and What the Bible Got Wrong01:13:51 Healing Yourself Heals Your Whole FamilyAbout Danny Morel:Danny Morel is a transformational coach, speaker, and the author of Awaken, a book born from his own radical personal reckoning after the death of his mother, a marriage that fell apart, and years of building external success on an internal void.

On tending to our interdependence, living life fully, and dying with attention and equanimity. 0:00 — Introduction  1:34 — Overview of Ann's Book "Traveling in Bardo" 3:55 — Personal Reflections on Grandmother's Funeral 7:20 — The Role of Practice in Embracing Impermanence 16:15 — Living with Attention and Interdependence 34:57 — Authenticity and True Nature 42:09 — Conclusion and Final Thoughts Ann Tashi Slater writes for The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Paris Review, and Granta, among others, and is a contributing editor at Tricycle. She presents and teaches workshops at Princeton, Columbia, Oxford, Asia Society, and The American University of Paris, and was a regular speaker at NYC's Rubin Museum of Art during the museum's 20-year run. Ann's new book, Traveling in Bardo: The Art of Living in an Impermanent World was released by Balance/Hachette in September, 2025. TRAVELING IN BARDO explores how we can find meaning and happiness in a world where change is the only certainty. Interweaving explorations of "bardo" between-states in relation to marriage and friendship, parents and children, and work and creativity with stories of her Tibetan ancestors and Buddhist teachings on the fleeting nature of existence, Slater illuminates what the teachings have to tell us in our contemporary lives. She relays vital wisdom from Tibetan culture, giving us a bold, new framework to navigate moments of change and live life fully. With a foreword by Dani Shapiro, the book has been praised by Elizabeth Gilbert, Melissa Febos, Sharon Salzberg, and Julia Alvarez, among others, and has been selected as a "Must-Read" by the Next Big Idea Club, co-curated by Malcolm Gladwell. In the midst of this shifting landscape, Slater invites us to embrace impermanence in a powerful way, rooted in ancient wisdom. During over forty years of writing and speaking about her Tibetan-American heritage and the relevance of Buddhism in Western society, Slater has come to see how Tibetan bardo views on impermanence can transform the way we live. A luminous guide to navigating transition and impermanence, it offers us the opportunity to find happiness in an impermanent world.

In this special LIVE edition of Coffee with Mome, Mike heads home for Mother's Day and sits down with the woman who taught him everything worth knowing — his mom, Peggy Rowe. Recorded in front of a live audience at the place Peggy refers to as The Home, this episode is filled with the warmth, wit, and wonderfully sharp observations fans have come to expect from America's Grandmother. From family stories and hard-earned wisdom to laughter that only comes from decades of shared history, Mike and Peggy talk about motherhood, growing older disgracefully, and the strange adventure of becoming a beloved public figure later in life. It's funny, heartfelt, occasionally mischievous, and exactly the kind of conversation you'd hope to overhear around the kitchen table on Mother's Day.

Hey friend, if you’ve ever wondered if you’re doing enough as a mom or grandmother, this episode is for you. I’m sharing the truth about motherhood—the pressure, the insecurity, and the quiet, unseen work that actually matters most. Together, we’ll let go of perfection and refocus on what our kids truly need: love, presence, and consistency. I’ll walk you through what good moms really do (and don’t do), why the everyday moments matter more than you think, and how to care for yourself in the middle of it all. Whether Mother’s Day feels joyful or complicated, I hope this feels like a deep breath for your soul. And remember, I'd love to connect more on Instagram, where you'll find me at @donnaajones.
