Podcasts about graphic designers

Graphic Designers were trained to become replaceable.Master the software. Learn the tools. Follow the trends. Make better logos. Build better portfolios. Create more content. Work faster.For years, THAT was what being a great Graphic Designer looked like.And now AI can do a whole lot of it in seconds.So...is Graphic Design dead? Is it still worth pursuing? And if you're already a Graphic Designer, should you be worried about what comes next?Maybe we're asking the wrong questions.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we go back to a time when Graphic Designers weren't hired just to make things look good. They solved business problems. They studied customers. They understood competition. They figured out what needed to work BEFORE they ever opened their design software.In this episode, you'll discover:- How Graphic Design became disposable- Why making became more valuable than thinking-  Where the most valuable parts of Graphic Design actually wentGraphic Design isn't disappearing.But the version of Graphic Design we've been trained for?That might be.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?  See uncut episodes on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/theangrydesigner Read our blog posts on our website TheAngryDesigner.comJoin in the conversation on our Instagram Instagram.com/TheAngryDesignerPodcast

Jacob Paris has been a sewer, a screen printer, a graphic designer, a streamer, and now an Adobe contractor. Somehow the biggest turning point in his career wasn't a job, a client, or a big break. It was a DM.In this episode, Jacob traces his creative path from teaching himself to sew on TikTok during the 2020 lockdown, to tie-dyeing a viral Travis Scott shirt that hit nearly a million views, to running a screen-print shop in Philadelphia that printed for acts like 100 gecs, Online Ceramics, and Nine Inch Nails. He opens up about the boss who told him, on his way out the door, that "not everyone's cut out for the art world," and how that one sentence lit a fire that pushed him to freelance full-time and land clients like Microsoft, Adobe, and JBL.Then the story takes a turn nobody sees coming: a nurse named Joanna slides into his DMs, they bond over Magic: The Gathering, and nine months later Jacob is on a 13-hour flight to meet her for the first time. What started as an internet friendship turned into a relationship, a marriage, and a full relocation from Philadelphia to Calgary, Alberta, a move Jacob describes as "exclusively beneficial," despite starting completely from scratch in a new country with zero followers or credibility.We dig into what Jacob calls the "medium fish in a smaller, less crowded pond" effect: how leaving an oversaturated market like Philly for a tighter-knit, less gatekept creative scene actually accelerated his growth. And we get into the mindset that's carried him through all of it: comparison as the thief of joy, doing things first instead of best, and the belief that the fear of failure is scarier than failure itself.This one's a masterclass in staying durable, not by having it all figured out, but by staying curious, staying humble, and saying yes to the DM.Guest LinksWebsite: https://www.byjacobparis.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-paris-798547306/

The future of graphic design is COMING whether designers are ready for it or not.Thing is...Nobody actually knows what that future looks like and no one wants to talk about it!In this special episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we sit down with Anna Dower and Emma Kate, founders of the Designer Boss Summit, to talk about the uncertainty facing graphic designers right now, why so many designers are resisting change, and why avoiding the conversation might be the worst thing we can do.Because this isn't about being pro-AI or anti-AI.It's about being willing to talk about where graphic design is going, what needs to change, and how designers can prepare themselves for whatever comes next.We get into - why AI has become the designer's "dirty little secret" - whether experienced designers are actually MORE open to change- why designers might be holding themselves back- what the future could mean for the next generation of creativesAnd there's a reason we're releasing this episode early.The Designer Boss Summit kicks off August 24th for North America, bringing together 10,000+ designers and some of the biggest voices in the industry to have exactly these conversations. I'll be opening the summit with The Future of "Design" Is a Lie.The summit is FREE to attend.

Most graphic designers want the same thing.More time. More budget. More fonts. More options.More creative freedom!Sounds amazing, right? Be careful what you wish for.Rhe more freedom designers get, the harder it can actually become to create something great.Welcome to the Constraint Paradox.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we dig into why limitations might actually be one of a graphic designer's greatest creative weapons, and why that dream client who says “You're the creative...do whatever you want!” might actually be giving you the worst brief imaginable.From impossible deadlines and tiny budgets to limited fonts, restrictive color palettes and brutally specific briefs, we break down why having LESS to work with can force you to come up with MORE.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why too many choices can destroy your creative momentum• Why the dreaded “open brief” isn't nearly as great as it sounds• 8 artificial constraints you can use to push yourself creativelyGraphic designers don't need unlimited creative freedom.Sometimes we need somebody to take half our toys away and say...“Figure it out.”And THAT'S usually where the good stuff starts.- - - - - -The Angry Designer is a no-BS Graphic Design podcast created for frustrated creatives who are ready to ditch the fluff, destroy outdated advice, and start building a real, badass design career. Whether you're a freelancer, agency owner, or in-house designer, this podcast gives you the tools, mindset, and strategies to evolve in an industry that's changing fast, especially with AI shaking everything up.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?  See uncut episodes on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/theangrydesigner Read our blog posts on our website TheAngryDesigner.comJoin in the conversation on our Instagram Instagram.com/TheAngryDesignerPodcast

Beginning at a young age, Brenden felt compelled to become an accountant in order to relieve his parents of their financial burden. Now he's the founder of MasterTalk where Brenden refers to himself as "a public speaker, communicator and facilitator." Brenden is the first in his family's lineage to complete higher education.  My guest currently lives in Montreal Canada where he purchased a home for he and his mother in order to eliminate two mortgages. Culturally, as the first born, he had inherent responsibilities, including being very protective of his mother. Unfortunately his father, who passed away in 2019, was affected by  alcoholism and made things challenging around the home.  Both parents worked hard as factory workers, but just couldn't make ends meet. Brenden, who says, he was always good with numbers, studied accounting and got great jobs out of college and was eventually able to pay off all outstanding debt. Brenden admires and loves his mother tremendously. He says, "my mother has a very different life now than what she struggled through in the last ten years. Culturally, "you don't just walk away from your partner or family member who is struggling. You continue to support them and provide for them.  My #1 priority was making sure everyone was safe," says Brenden. Sri Lanka, is an island country located in South-Central Asia, and Brenden shares stories of both his parents who grew up in Sri Lanka. His mother is the youngest of a large family and she loved to tend to the family garden.  She married at 30 years old and immigrated to Canada.  His mother taught her son many wonderful life lessons including  his story that he shares about the $10 bill he found on the ground. Vijee hoped that her son understood that " even if we don't have a lot, we have a lot more than other people do and always be generous and lead with that generosity." After years of studying to be an accountant, then technology consultant, he was able to shift into doing what he really loved. He felt all of his steps in life where important. "That first step was absolutely necessary to get to the person I am today." Kumarasamy continues, " I got out of survival mode later in life and started to focus on the bigger picture of what I could do to serve the world" Brenden's Youtube channel is full of wonderful videos with professional advice for improving ones public speaking skills. He is self taught and wants everyone to understand that it wasn't easy in the beginning. He practiced hundreds of times before he felt he was ready. He was very fearful of launching that first Youtube video. He talks about trying to reach out and help many with public speaking skills and says "that when you care about others and only want to add value, you'll be able to overcome any fear/obstacle in the service of others."     MASTERTALK: https://www.mastertalk.ca/ YOUTUBE MASTER CHANNEL-"MASTERTALK"-https://www.youtube.com/@MasterTalks ROCKSTAR COMMUNICATOR WEBSITE: https://www.rockstarcommunicator.com/?r_done=1 LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/search/results/all/?fetchDeterministicClustersOnly=false&heroEntityKey=urn%3Ali%3Afsd_profile%3AACoAABrmbRABNB9-E_3DuEEVBO0EIaIuSnmoIH8&keywords=brenden%20%F0%9F%8E%A4%20kumarasamy&origin=RICH_QUERY_SUGGESTION&position=0&searchId=a6724d6a-158d-4b1a-a818-839e6be2c6da&sid=DHE "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Send us Fan MailWendy Stonehenge of the Candy Whips returns to the show to discuss his cover of the classic Heaven 17 song, "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang', Tour Life, Fatherhood and much more.****"After the doo-wop covers EP Moonlight that I released last year, I wasn't planning on doing more covers for a while. But I was listening to Heaven 17, the pertinence of the lyrics really jumped out at me,” says Wendy Stonehenge, mastermind behind the electro/New Wave-inspired project CANDY WHIPS, about their new single “(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang.” "This song was originally released 45 years ago, and it's more relevant than ever. I decided it needed to be given a new life."Candy Whips interpretation of the classic percolating ‘80s hit slows down the tempo slightly but amplifies the dance groove, allowing the very timely lyrics to breathe. "I knew I had to really reinvent this song in order to pull it off,” explains Stonehenge. “I mean, I couldn't do a faithful cover even if I wanted to. The basslines of Heaven 17's John Wilson are insane. My version is much more stripped down but also even more danceable..this is the first time I've made a straight up dance track. It was a fun challenge to work outside of my usual comfort zone."“(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang” follows Candy Whip's cover EP Moonlight, which features doo wop versions of The Flamingos' “I Only Have Eyes For You,” Marvin and Johnny's “Cherry Pie,” and the Chordettes/Pat Ballard's girl group classic "Mr. Sandman." Moonlight was my way of connecting with those roots of yore,” Stonehenge explains. “Modernizing these songs helped me to be a stronger writer.” Ripe with vocal effects, drum machines, and synths, he breathed new life into the songs by dusting them off and polishing them with modern flourishes. "If I could turn young people on to this older music, that would be amazing," he adds. Known as an established member of the well-known Northern California glam rock band Glitter Wizard, Stonehenge formed Candy Whips as a side project during the pandemic. Using this project as an outlet for music that didn't fit his other band's glamrock mold, he explored synthpop in a more focused way, fusing punk and electronic.Candy Whips is the solo project of Wendy Stonehenge. The new single "(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang" is out now and is available via Kitten Robot.Website: https://kittenrobot.com/artist/candy-whips/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/glitterwizardwagon/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/candy.whips/?hl=enYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPgCq_P0e-xj84tFAiTXI3A****If you would like to contact the show Dauna@betertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX0ETs2wpOHbCuhUNr0XFTw?view_as=subscriberInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomSupport the podcast here: https://www.patreon.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedom©2026 Better To...Podcast with D.

My guest was born in Ukraine then moved to Russia with her family. At 16, Natasha felt the need for some sort of spiritual connection in her life.  Neither her mother or father believed in traditional religious beliefs, so she started attending services in different temples and churches. But it wasn't until she met Rachelle, that my guest was encouraged to find her own calling. Rachelle did not  persuade Natasha to do anything specific in life, yet there was a mutual interest in caring for children who did not have families of their own. Natasha was so taken with Rachelle's sincerity and concern. Rachelle was actually one of the very first adults to ask Natasha personal questions. "She gave me a lot of hope and comfort by just being there. And because she was there, I   always had hope and ideas of what would be next in life. Rachelle is very personal. She feels very deeply and when someone shares their story, she's ready to feel it, cry with them, laugh with them says Natasha. Natasha is very happy to be living in a more remote area now with her family. She's cooking up a storm and you can find her recipes and tricks of the kitchen trade on her social media pages-links are below.   I hope you enjoy this conversation. Natasha has such a warm demeanor that I felt as though I was sitting with her in her kitchen  in Hungary.   MORE INFORMATION ABOUT NATASHA FROM HER WEBSITE:WEBSITE:https://www.natashashome.com/ From World Traveler to a Home Cook Welcome to Natasha's Home! My husband, Krisztian and I currently live in Eastern Europe in Hungary. We recently welcomed a little baby girl into our family! I was born in Ukraine, grew up in Russia, but have been all over the world in the last 7 years. I think I visited around 13 countries in my journey as a Christian missionary (what an adventure that was!). My husband and I first met at a local Hungarian orphanage where we were spending time with the kids as a part of a missionary team, and little did I know that this town I was “just passing by” was going to be my future home! After getting married I started learning more about cooking and homemaking, and it is no less of a journey than I had before! As I discover new recipes, kitchen hacks, tips, and tricks that help me become a better home cook, I love to share them with you so that you can be inspired and learn a bunch yourself!

Most graphic designers spend their careers trying to be easy to work with. Be agreeable, collaborative, client pleasing. And NEVER rock the boat.Somewhere along the way, we started believing that being a "good designer" meant saying yes, avoiding conflict, and making everyone happy.But is that what clients actually value.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we're flipping one of the biggest myths in graphic design on its head. Because the designers who consistently earn trust, command respect, and get the best projects aren't the ones who quietly take orders. They're the ones willing to ask hard questions, challenge bad ideas, defend the work, and put the outcome ahead of their own ego.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why the best graphic designers are often misunderstood as being "difficult."• The difference between ego, confidence, and uncompromising standards.• Why clients respect designers who push back instead of simply saying yes.• How to challenge ideas without becoming impossible to work with.Being a difficult designer isn't about being arrogant.It's about caring enough to challenge assumptions, protect the work, and fight for a better result.If you've ever been called stubborn, opinionated, or "hard to work with," this episode might just change the way you see your greatest strength.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?  See uncut episodes on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/theangrydesigner Read our blog posts on our website TheAngryDesigner.comJoin in the conversation on our Instagram Instagram.com/TheAngryDesignerPodcast

"Mom never allowed me to shy away from the challenges," says Chantal who refers to herself as a neurodiversity advocate. At a young age, Chantal's mom picked up that that her daughter's learning abilities seemed  off.  It was clear that Chantal's behavior at home didn't reflect correctly with her report cards.  Chantal struggled in school, in part due to her learning difficulties plus the social pressures from her piers and bullying. But again, it was Yvonne who continually encouraged her daughter to "not worry about it. You'll always run your own business." Chantal wishes she had seen her mom's sensibility earlier on instead of putting more pressure on herself to tackle fields of study that were  too rigorous,  ie, sciences and graphic design. According to my guest,  "my mother taught  me how to manage and look out for my burnout." One of the most important messages that Chantal wants to get across is " no one should ever be ashamed of the tools  or the accommodations  they need because of neurodiversity disabilities." Now, starting her own business has lessened the pressure on Chantal. SOCOLO came about because of the difficulties she had when reading and focusing on words specifically on white paper or causing 'visual stress.' "50% of the people with Autism and 50% of the people with Dyslexia also have visual stress or Irlin Syndrome. So white paper doesn't quite work with our group. The whole idea  behind SOCOLO was to deal with the emotional side of Dyslexia."  Chantal has a wonderful story to tell of the strength of her mother and how important it was that her mother never faulted her daughter for her challenges, yet lifter her up and encouraged her every step of the way.   Website: socolo.co.uk Instagram: @so.co.lo https://www.instagram.com/so.co.lo/   TikTok: @so.co.lo https://www.tiktok.com/@so.co.lo?lang=en   YouTube: @socolo https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3jAWqq-_G7x4zrA-KGuKxA https://www.irlensyndrome.org/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIq9ai1Y_u_AIVDbrICh0qYwJpEAAYASAAEgITgfD_BwE     "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Clients rarely tell you what they need. They tell you what they think they need. Most designers never know the difference.Somewhere along the way, design became about making instead of thinking. We became obsessed with deliverables, portfolios, and execution, while overlooking the one thing clients actually need from us.And almost nobody noticed.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we challenge one of the most deeply rooted beliefs in graphic design and reveal why so many designers spend their careers solving the wrong problems.In this episode, you'll discover:• Why the obvious problem is rarely the real one.• The mindset shift that separates designers from design thinkers.• A simple idea that could completely change how you approach every project.The answer?It's above the ceiling.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?  See uncut episodes on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/theangrydesigner Read our blog posts on our website TheAngryDesigner.comJoin in the conversation on our Instagram Instagram.com/TheAngryDesignerPodcast

Before you proceed, I  want to warn you, that this episode does contain graphic content that some may find disturbing. Vivace is a very bright woman who received her undergraduate and graduate degree in Biology from Cornell University. She worked in the medical field for twelve years before becoming  a speaker and life coach. My guest explains that "my mother was my BFF and she lives for her children." This was all terribly hard because Vivace always wanted her mother "to feel  valued and honored yet she was at the bottom of everyone's totem pole." Unfortunately, the abuse toward she and her mother started when Vivace was very young and continued until both women left the family, leaving behind the two sons as they chose to remain with their father. Yet, Vivace recalls asking her mother on a regular basis  "can we leave today, can we leave today" but it was years before they left.  From a young age, Vivace would confront her father verbally about the abuse, but her bravery came with a price.  With $100 in their pocket, both women left the horrific beatings behind and found shelter with family members who unfortunately knew of the abuse, but never came to Jaleh's rescue. Through many years of depression, pain, anger, resentment and a planned suicide,  Vivace began her healing process through therapy, research and seeking the truth.  She uses her past experience as a tool to help her clients improve their self worth and confidence through compassion and understanding. Ultimately, the client has to realize that the possibilities are limitless.     Website:https://fierceselfconfidence.com Instagram: @vivacemaxvictor YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNiDk4sN1vUlYOrQ_gg8mDA About Vivace:  MEDIA Vivace was most recently featured on NETFLIX' “Buying Beverly Hills” – which was one of NETFLIX Top 10 shows when it aired Vivace has also been featured on: Bravo's Million Dollar Listing NY Fox Business Fox Nation CourtTV Newsmax Media commentator on celebrity relationships and scandals such as Tom & Gisele, Brad and Angelina, Alec Baldwin, Joe Rogan, Simone Biles, Johnny Depp and others.

I feel that I got an up close and personal invitation into the life of a female pioneer who because of her own accomplishments, worked alongside other fearless women who broke through barriers. So when your mother sets the bar super high, what do you do?  One follows suit apparently. And that's exactly what Andrea Ippolito has done. As I mention in my introduction, she has a very impressive background. Both mother and daughter are engineers and their lives/personalities are very much intertwined or "tangled" as Andrea says. In this episode you'll hear stories of Mary working with female astronauts redesigning the first female space suit so it's anatomically correct for a woman. That's something significant that never crossed my mind until I heard these stories. Andrea says that her mom is still an inspiration to her. "Mom raised us to stick up for ourselves" recalls Ippolito. Andrea says her mother was always there for her, she encouraged her to experience different things and situations. Mary says, "she taught me that we need more women innovators at the table designing the next generation of women's health products with their own lived experience whenever possible." About Andrea:Andrea Ippolito currently serves as the CEO and Founder of SimpliFed. Prior to joining Cornell, Andrea served as the Director of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Innovators Network within the VA Center for Innovation and served as a Presidential Innovation Fellow based out of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and General Services Administration. She was the Co-Founder of an innovative application that improves access to care called Smart Scheduling (acquired by athenahealth in 2016). She also previously served as the Co-Director of MIT Hacking Medicine, as an Innovation Specialist at the Brigham Innovation Hub and Product Innovation Manager at athenahealth. Ms. Ippolito completed her MS in Engineering & Management at MIT and engineering degrees at Cornell.   About SimpliFed:SimpliFed is changing the narrative on infant nutrition and democratizing access to choices parents can feel good about as they feed their babies.

Today on DORiS @whosdoris we sit down with PJ DiCaprio @pjdicaprio to celebrate his upcoming fourth EP, She's Just Not That Into You out everywhere this Summer on NewWrldMedia @newwrldmediaproductions PJ is a Recording Artist, Filmmaker, Graphic Designer, and so much more whose talents have taken him from Bowie Sate University to ESPN to now Yahoo Sports. We had an awesome conversation about his journey from being adopted and growing up homeschooled in Prince George's County to finding his creative voice in college and sharing it with the world through NewWrldMedia.

As the middle child of five, Ping experienced a lot of family pressure and political pressure as she was raised in China during The Cultural Revolution from 1966 through 1976. Enduring tremendous upheaval, it took a toll on Ping and her family. Perhaps because of Ping's past, she found it in her heart to stand up against society and family. Ping was there for her daughter at a number of crucial life changing events. She deserves a lot of credit for believing in her daughter and her daughter's behavior, when culturally it was frowned upon.  In one particular situation that you'll hear about in the interview  Leslie says "my mom's lack of response saved me." So many lessons to learn from two women, very similar personalities yet a generation apart. Leslie shares that she knew at a young age that she wanted to leave China and go to college in the United States and it was her mother who stood in front of thousands and advocated for her daughter and didn't succumb to the intimidation. Today, Leslie is a mom and business owner. She  is not a doctor, yet after her own experience of weight gain and years of studying and research, she now is able to help others with their food obsession. Her philosophy incorporates current day reasonings as well as Chinese traditions to reprogram your relationship with food.  "It's rather a lifestyle and a kind of mindset and routine which can help you loose the weight effectively without being addicted to this weight loss game," suggests Chen.   One of her suggestions for curbing further cravings for sugar is, "Teassert." She explains in the interview.  Hope you enjoy our conversation.   "Leslie Chen is a high-performance weight loss coach who helps high-achieving women all over the world get a head-turning body permanently and effortlessly, using timeless wisdom from Asia.

My guest, Kristina, was fortunate to have at least two significant female role models in her life. One being her mother and the other, her maternal grandmother, Lucia, who was the more compassionate one. As the oldest of three children, Kristina felt that her mom was hardest on her.  She shares wonderful stories of cooking delicious Italian food with her mom, everything from scratch  and loves having all the family recipes. Her mother was very talented and creative, very charismatic yet her mom didn't believe in herself, didn't have the same confidence that her daughter has.  "She was an amazing seamstress, made all their Communion dresses and gowns."  Unfortunately, Linda Marie "suffered from  a lot of anxieties and narcissism as well and it would affect her and make her really insecure," reflects my guest. As an adult, Kristina has been in therapy and it's helped her to start her healing process.  This has been a difficult journey however, Kristina  has come to understand and appreciate that "her mom was doing the best with what she had.  She was working to  be the best version of herself every day." Lucia also shares with us her beautifully crocheted -Curiously Created Creations-Bella and friends.  Lucia's mom always wanted her daughter to be a teacher. Now, Kristina has created these darling children's books and stuffed animals "to help children process their feelings and help them navigate through their range of emotions. "These books are love letters to my mom. I think it's important to acknowledge the trauma, it's important to see the dysfunciton, but the healing is equily as important because it's showing that we do have a choice. My mom's choice was to raise the best kids she could possibly raise." Her main character of the series is Bella Lucia.  The mission of the series, explains Kristina, "is communication between parents and children. I like to  focus on that because when we're able to identify through our feelings and communicate with each other, we're able to acknowledge it and get down to the why." I hope you enjoy our conversation.

It was a pleasure to speak with Jessica and listen as she shared  all that she experienced as a high school drop out and single mother with a husband behind bars.   This major turning point in her life,  motivated her to complete her GED as well as complete college and law school, with honors, in order to help those similarly unfamiliar with the way the criminal justice system works.  When you hear the compelling stories about both  Jessica and her mother, you'll say, 'the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.'   Both women have been working tirelessly for decades in order to educate victims and their family members,  as well as inform  society to be more compassionate and aware and to update the parole and probation system. Resilience is one of the words that Jessica uses over and over again when describing her mother Maria who is originally from  Stockholm, Sweden.  Jessica also describes her mom as "a pioneer in her field." Very early on in the AIDS epidemic, Maria was involved with helping patients and their families maneuver the scary waters of a frightening disease.  While in graduate school, Maria brought her days old daughter Jessica with her to class.  Jessica went where ever her mother took her, to HIV/Aids conferences, seminars, etc. "She showed us"  says Jessica, when referring to her mother, "by her actions, not her words, on how to live life." Jessica was adamant about how her mom had a "show them, don't tell them" philosophy about life. In other words, Maria was an  example by her actions, not her words. Jessica reflects, "I never once saw my mom give up." Again, the parallels between mother and daughter are striking, Maria working with HIV/AIDS patients and Jessica with people in prison. Again, those whose lives were turned upside down, found a smart, caring and devoted women to make a difference in these unfortunate individuals lives. When Kim Kardashian West wanted tutoring in law once aware of wrongfully incarcerated first time offenders, she went to Jessica Jackson for help.  On November 29, 2019, USA Today wrote "Kim Kardashian West came on board with the campaign after she heard about Alice Marie Johnson, a grandmother who had served 21 years of a life sentence for her first-ever drug conviction, and was moved to help. Kardashian West was instrumental in convincing Trump to grant Johnson clemency. "  That's just one of thousands of cases that Jackson has had overturned and continues to fight in order to get families back together under one roof. Both of these women with all that they have accomplished and continue  to accomplish is living proof that if you set your mind to something, anything and everything is possible. As Maria said to her daughter "you can do anything, you can achieve anything, if you work hard enough."    REFORM Alliance Mission Statement: REFORM Alliance aims to transform probation and parole by changing laws, systems and culture to create real pathways to work and wellbeing. A justice system that holds people accountable and redirects back to work and wellbeing leads to stronger families and safer communities. Instead of keeping people trapped in a revolving door from probation/parole to prison — which costs taxpayers billions of dollars — we're working to move people from the justice system into stability.  History REFORM's story starts with the unjust re-imprisonment of recording artist Meek Mill. The shocking two-to-four year sentence he received for popping a wheelie spurred the international #FreeMeek movement, which led to release on bail and eventually his freedom.

Embracing Creativity, Non-Linear Thinking and Doing Business Your Way, with Heather EbanksSeason 11, Episode 90: Show Up and Be HeardToday's episode of the podcast is an interview with Heather Ebanks, graphic designer and host of the Creatively Eccentric podcast.In this conversation, Heather and I chat about what it really means to embrace creativity, challenge traditional definitions of success, and stop trying to force ourselves into business models that don't fit.We explore how creativity isn't just about being artistic, why some of our biggest strengths can come from thinking differently, and how stepping away from the noise can often be the key to finding clarity. We also dive into imposter syndrome, failure, community, and the importance of trusting yourself instead of constantly looking outside of yourself for answers.BOSS THINGS YOU'LL LEARN IF YOU TUNE IN:Practical ways to quiet the noise, overcome overwhelm, and reconnect with your ideasWhy failure isn't something to fear and how to reframe it as part of the processWhy creativity is so much bigger than art, design, or being "naturally creative"If you enjoyed this episode or found it useful, then I would really appreciate if you could take just a few minutes to give it a review on whatever platform you are listening on - because every one I get really does make me do a little squeal and a happy dance!ABOUT HEATHER:Heather Ebanks is a Graphic Designer and the host of the Creatively Eccentric Podcast—a platform for bold voices, messy journeys, and zero apologies. She explores what happens when creatives stop trying to fit into systems that were never designed for them and start defining success on their own terms.Through raw, reflective conversations, Heather amplifies unconventional and underrepresented creators—diving into the realities of rejection, reinvention, and building a creative life that doesn't follow the rules. Her work supports women who feel overwhelmed, scattered, or “too much,” helping them realise those very traits are their advantage.At its core, Creatively Eccentric is about embracing uniqueness, challenging expectations, and proving that there is no single way to be a creative—or to succeed.LINKS YOU DEFINITELY WANT TO CHECK OUT:Connect with Heather on Instagram or LinkedInCheck out Heather's websiteListen to Heather's podcastFind out more about and sign up for Boss Your Socials ClubCONNECT WITH BECCI:Connect with Becci on Instagram, LinkedIn or FacebookJoin Becci's email communityIF YOU LOVED THIS, YOU'LL ALSO LOVE:The truth about imposter syndrome and self doubt, with Laura BremnerEPISODE TRANSCRIPTTap to downloadThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podcorn - https://podcorn.com/privacy

As host of SHLTMM, I wanted you to know that this episode of my podcast contains some graphic or sensitive content that some may find disturbing. Gregg's podcast, "The Compulsive Storyteller" which can be found where ever you listen to podcast, is Gregg continuing the art of telling stories handed down from past generations. Worth a listen for sure. (Link is below.) When Gregg was a little boy the family had moved to the Albany, New York area. Betty owned a plane, so who better to fly with his mom on a regular basis. He loved seeing the landscape from way up in the sky. It was quite an experience for a little boy. They'd go out to lunch and fly from one location to another. Gregg really cherishes his memories of his mom. Gregg's parents were apparently too similar personalities to make a good match according to Gregg. When Betty was checked out of  the WASP at the end of WWII, she received a job offer as the first ever female flight controller at LaGuardia Airport. Her husband sent her a telegraph ordering her to go back to buffalo and wait for him and not to take the job. Gregg shares a few very telling stories about his mother's experience in the military. Unfortunately a strong, talented, fearless  women had a  tough time in a male dominated industry such as the military. Gregg often says, "she was a woman ahead of her time." Betty flew an AT-6 which was considered the best fighter training aircraft during WWII, P38 Fighter Bomber and more. Over the 32 years that Gregg knew his mother, he laments  "she never once said 'I'm sorry,' nor did she say so to my sisters or my father. That was a real disability she had.  She was very proud."  Unfortunately, Gregg's maternal  grandmother held onto grudges similar to his mother. Anyone who went against his grandmother, they also were crossed off the list forever. Being in the military was not always easy, the most challenging  was when confronted by misogynistic men. That happened on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the harassment continued after the military while working in the real estate business. "A woman who was strong and decisive and stood up for herself was basically a difficult woman," Gregg explains out of frustration. Unfortunately, Betty LeFevre, even with all her accomplishments,  was more unhappy than anyone  could have understood.  * About Gregg In His Words I'm a public artist with permanent commissions around the world, a passion for the art world, entrepreneurship, multiculturalism, & stories. I have completed over 200 permanently installed public art projects all over the world, many in the USA and a dozen in Manhattan. Library Walk, at Fifth and 41st, is the latest work of public art in NYC. Many of my projects are unique in that they consist of a series of bronze panels with text and imagery that are set in sidewalks, parks and plazas. Library Walk is two blocks long, and it's 96 bronze panels lead the viewer toward the front door of NY's central Schwarzman Library.  My public art is all about exploring the history and character of the places where it is set. I have a particular interest in telling the lost and forgotten stories from African American history, women's history, Hispanic history, natural history and those of other minority cultures. I have also turned many my experiences in and around the world of art into a podcast of short personal stories that proves truth can be stranger than fiction. The Compulsive Storytelleris my podcast of intriguing comic, tragic and weird stories, many of which involve getting myself into and out of trouble. It is available on Apple, Spotify and most other platforms.  Reviews of my public artworks can be found in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Boston Globe, the Washington Post, the Chicago Tribune, and many other newspapers, magazines and online publications.   Discover More http://andrewslefevre.com/ https://www.gregglefevre.com/nyt-bronze-star https://www.gregglefevre.com/nyt-what-lies-beneath    https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/the-great-library-way-1411003094    https://www.grandcentralpartnership.nyc/our-neighborhood/library-way    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqwr1WdayQ0&feature=emb_imp_woyt https://open.spotify.com/show/5MllPsrmeipHqZ0vtiw2Mx https://www.thecompulsivestoryteller.com/ https://www.instagram.com/thecompulsivestoryteller/ https://www.facebook.com/TheCompulsiveStoryteller "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Kathryn was born in the Himalayas. However, both her parents were English and had the same desire of "going out to India, spreading the Gospel message and serving the poor," explains my guest. Living in Vienna as a young girl, Kathryn remembers her parents taking in refugees who were seeking political asylum and it was normal to have refugees sleeping on their floor regularly. These memories had a profound effect on Kathryn and she was certain that this is how her interests in helping the less fortunate  came to be.  Kathryn shares that her mother was not warm and fuzzy but she was from the generation of tough and strong women. Kathryn always felt very loved. Ruby was a teacher and taught her daughter and other children from the Embassy. Ruby was determined that Kathryn would not be spoiled. Kathryn was soon sent to boarding school because her parents were working and traveling regularly. "A little pencil in God's hand" is how Mother Teresa would refer to herself. She never wanted credit  or accolades for her work. "She could be a tough cookie," Spink reflects however, "she was difficult to deal with sometimes, because God was so definitely on her side and that could make things tough. Mother Teresa was so determined, nothing could get in her way." "Poverty saddened Mother Teresa the most according to Kathryn,  "I don't think it angered her not in relation to God. Waste most likely angered her the most but never with God." Mother Teresa was always seeing the presence of God in the poor and it helped her persevere.  "Tolerance was deeply ingrained in Mother Theresa" explains Ms. Spink. "Mother Teresa believed that God was at work in every soul, so it wasn't up to her to try and convince others of the 'correct/best religion." My guest remarks "Mother Teresa used to say "come to Calcutta and I'll put you to work".  This is what this demure but mighty  woman believed with her whole body, mind and spirit. Kathryn even shared stories of the similarities between Mother Teresa, whose birth name was Agnes, and her mother Drana. "The family that prays together, stays together" was one of Drana's favorite expressions according to Spink. Caring for the sick was a common thread for the two woman.  "It's not always about the physical suffering, but the whole process of being abandoned by people" was one of the toughest things for Mother Teresa to comes to terms with, comments Spink. Mother Teresa founded the order, "The Missionaries of Charities." She wanted to give shelter to  abandoned babies and to help the poorest of the poor. In 1979 she received the Nobel Peace Prize and after her death was canonized as Saint Teresa.  I could have listened for hours to my guest share her stories of all of these selfless women. Mother Teresa was known as 'Mother' because when a nun/sister is appointed to a superior position within  the church, they are known as 'Mother.' INFORMATION: Kathryn Spink is the author of several books on the work of Mother Teresa and her coworkers, as well as other inspiring contemporary figures, including Brother Roger of Taize, Beede Griffiths, Dominique LaPierre, Prince Charles' and Lady Diana Spencer and more.  My guest is also the chronicler of the “South African Women's Human Rights Organization.”  https://www.kathrynspink.com/ https://www.harpercollins.com/blogs/authors/kathryn-spink-20167212026170   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Christen Horne refers to herself as a nerd, geek and gamer. She's a big fan of reading and loves Star Wars. As an accomplished singer, she received her Masters in Opera Performance. In addition to the entire family being singers and musicians, archery became a big part of their lives as well.  When Karla, Christen's mother, was in high school she became the California State Champion Archer and the family still enjoys the sport today.  Having a mom that worked wasn't that unusual for Christen. Her mom had been a paralegal for years after completing her associates degree.  As the three children were growing up, Karla was  leading worship at the local church.  They spent a lot of time at the church. But my guest says she enjoyed it because they were always singing. Ms. Horne fondly remembers her mom embracing whatever fun activities the kids would be involved in, including  going to water parks and going down the water slides together, playing board games and spending quality time involved with the family. Years ago, Christen was actively involved in her community theatre programs.  She fondly retells the story of  the production of  "Fiddler On The Roof," when her mom and aunt  were  "volun-told' that they  had to play village fathers.  There were no other boys/male actors to play the part.  They still laugh about it today. Christen considered her mother as being firm yet compassionate when it came to disciplining the three kids.  Homework definitely took the priority especially over video games. Homework wasn't done, no one got  to play. Christen says  "mom was always really good about helping us find the balance in things. Making sure we had time to play  and making sure we got our homework done."   It wasn't until Christen started to realize  that she often hid her emotions, that she started to recall other instances from her childhood that were clearly  unhappy. She had suffered from depression at a young age that was left undiagnosed. She felt that her mother was embarrassed when Christen showed her true emotions. Horne shared with me that "through my mental health journey, I've gotten more comfortable being more myself around my mom."  Often feeling "this is my fault," Christen often blamed herself and felt that if her mother rejected her, it would be devastating.  It's scary to be a young child and not understand complicated emotional situation. Working with coaches on a regular basis has helped Christen tremendously. "You pick one hurt, then move on to another," reflects Horne. Through working with her coaches she says her relationship with her mom is so much better and she's very grateful for all the support. Christen is now working on her fantasy book which features her main character 'Alkara' who's named after mother and who also is an archer.

Something brutal  is happening to graphic designers right now. Not just beginners. Not just freelancers. Everybody.The pace of design, AI, content, tools, trends, and expectations has become so overwhelming that a lot of creatives are quietly starting to question themselves… their skills, their relevance, and whether they can even keep up anymore.And honestly? This episode came from a real spiral.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we talk about the pressure  graphic designers are carrying right now, why social media and AI are making it worse, and the realization that completely changed how we think about creativity, success, competition, and the future of design.Because maybe the problem isn't that designers are falling behind.Maybe they're measuring themselves against the wrong things.Don't forget about our 2026 Angry Designer Survey.

 Erik has always loved music, performing, dance and laughter. He didn't like school. Erik's mother, Gerri, was very clear from the beginning  on how exactly he was to get through high school. As an english teacher, she knew the benefits of a great education and wasn't about to let him slip through her fingers. Nor was she going to take any part in his decision to not get out of bed, which meant, she wasn't going to be responsible for him not graduating. She was very specific when she said she wouldn't be attending any parent teacher conferences or discussions when Erik had issues at school. It was his responsibility. If he had to repeat a grade, "he'd have no one to blame but himself." That said, Erik and his mother were extremely close. She was a devoted  and committed mother.  She found the joy and humor if life. Having a role model like his mom has helped him raising his two daughters.  Erik says one important lesson he learned from his mom is  "she was present. She was not 'unavailable' when she was physically present." With all the distractions that we have in life now, this one memory of his mother really helps him with his girls. They are his priority when they're together. Looking back, Erik recalls how his parents fostered self reliance and individuality. His mother taught english at night to help others who wanted to empower themselves.   She often worked with bartenders, cashiers and workers who hoped to get a business degree and  change their lives.

For most creatives, the voice in their head guiding their hesitations, fears, and decisions has actually been created by a 9-5 job.That's how they end up saying "I want a successful design business" for 5 years with little to no progress... because every decision is still being filtered through fear, safety, approval, and the need for a guaranteed outcome.At some point, the only way things change is by being willing to bet on yourself, take calculated risks, and slowly let go of the safety net that's been keeping you mentally stuck in the same place. In this episode, I dive into the six most common ways 9-5 jobs create limiting beliefs in your mind that hold you back from pursuing your goals.Follow FrancescaFollow PriscillaFREE Six Figure Designer Community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join Social Butterfly Club (Marketing Membership For Designers)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Brief Collective Design Biz Academy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Unlock Secret Podcast Episodes⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Share Your Unapologetic Opinion⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Podcast Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠

Pat, my guest's mom, grew up in Washington state. Because her parents had divorced wen Pat was a little girl, Pat spent the school year with her mother on the coast of Washington and summers with her father in the eastern part of the state. Pat learned independence starting at the early age of five years old as her parents  put her on a train by herself, back and forth across the state.  This part of Shannon's journey begins with her mom's Sock Monkey and it's opened up a world of learning and inspiration. Incase you're not familiar with what a sock monkey is, it's a  toy for young and old.  Stuffed Sock Monkeys were very popular in the 1930 and 40's, especially during The Great Depression to help uplift the spirits of children and adults. After Shannon's mother died, she came across a Stuffed Sock Monkey in her mother's possessions. She took it home with her and it's created a life of its own, a significance that Shannon is still surprised by today. In regard to her mother Shannon says "she was a teacher by nature and a teacher by trade. In fact, Pat was a  6th grade teacher for a while in addition to a Special Education teacher. Everything was a teaching /learning experience."  Shannon, her twin sister, Cheryl, and their mother had a very close relationship. All three women have intuitive capabilities and Pat allowed Shannon to make her own mistakes.  Shannon  in her late 20's,  started to develop her own psychic abilities. And as a twin, Shannon and her sister Cheryl, have psychic abilities that they work on together from near and afar.   Shannon shares stories of all the music in their home growing up. "Mom, she was brilliant. She could play any instrument by ear you gave her. Her main instrument in our home was the piano." With an infectious laugh that Shannon most likely inherited from her mom,  my guest fills us in on how funny  her mother was. She just lit up the whole family with her witty sense of humor. Shannon Grissom is an award winning artist, author and illustrator of the book "Monkey Made of Sockies" and most recently the creator of 'Sock Monkey Oracle Cards."   - Each card is a unique painting of a sock monkey which correlates to a specific Oracle Card. What are Oracle cards? Shannon Grissom will explain all of this and share more stories of her mom  Pat. https://twitter.com/ShannonGrissom  FB Page 1.4K FB Personal 2.1K https://www.facebook.com/ShannonGrissomCreations/ YouTube 410 https://www.youtube.com/shannongrissom LinkedIn 1.1K (CENTRAL VALLEY TALK SHOW-APRIL 2022 WITH AUSTIN REED. https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannongrissom/ TikTok 95 https://www.tiktok.com/@shannongrissom IG 1.1 https://www.instagram.com/shannongrissom/   *WEBSITE https://sockmonkeyoracle.com/ "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Clare was born in New York City yet her parents were originally from Ukraine. Rich is a very warm and caring son. Looking back, Rich would like to have asked his mom "what she was so worried about all the time." Looking back, my guest also has regrets for his mom's lack of happiness and wellbeing. As a teen he was more concerned with himself than the welfare of his mom. In hindsight,  he wishes she had taken better care of herself- had more friends, etc. As a young girl, Clare's mother, Rich's maternal grandmother, put a lot of pressure on Clare to practice her music. Clare was a phenomenal concert pianist.  She studied piano from a young age and within a few years she suddenly quit playing the piano, defiant to her mother's constant nagging. Rich's mom was overprotected and as he says "kind of spoiled." Interestingly enough, Clare was overprotected by her own mother and then did something similar to her only son. Rich refers to it as a "constant hovering."  As a result, Rich created his own  internal world  or a world of imagination which he found at the library and through books.    A college professor recognized that Rich  showed some true talent in his poetry and encouraged him to pursue it. Today, Rich is a poet and has almost one hundred poems published in the Monmouth Review (Monmouth University) and two in the International Journal of Poetry Therapy and several in other literary publications. Twenty years since his mom's death, he looks back fondly on his memories of his mom . His memories don't rattle him as much now. He's embracing the whole picture of her life and not just the last five years that she endured Alzheimer's.  Poem#1  The Science of Medicine Poem #2  Bringing In The Tide https://www.amazon.com/Writing-Away-Demons-Creative-Transformative/dp/0878393293 Richard's forthcoming book of poetry "Constellations" due to be published late 2022.  "Constellations are our attempt to make sense of the universe. We create patterns in the sky, trying to understand what God might mean, and write our stories as if we knew. These poems are my constellations. The words are stars. May their light be a guide to find your way home." - Richard Fireman "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Montes De Oca translated from Spanish means "mountains of Oca or bird similar to a goose" -from an area in the Basque region of Spain in the north central mountains, and that is where Carlyn's family originally emigrated from. Carlyn is a first generation Mexican American who was raised in California. It wasn't until she took a DNA test in her 50's, just to see what her more specific lineage was, that she found out some shocking news. There was a discrepancy in one of the results that caught Carlyn's eye, but being busy, she let it go. She had noticed that all of her siblings seemed to be very quiet and distant once she started asking questions. Had she spent more time on fully reading the results, she would have seen that there was a woman's name listed as a potential relative. "Ancestry DNA doesn't lie" is what Carlyn was told by this stranger's husband. Carlyn's mother and father made a life changing decision based on love and compassion . They didn't hesitate or dwell on the possible difficult road ahead. They did what they felt was the right thing to do. a sister and two brothers that live nearby plus 2 other siblings in  Mexico  that were a lot older. As teens, Carlyn's older siblings suddenly had an adopted baby sister and were told by their parents, not to tell anyone, including their baby sister that she was adopted for fear of someone trying to take her away.  You will never tell her she's adopted because if you do, there are  people out there that may try and hurt her. " Children born out of wedlock where not looked at fondly and Carlyn's parents didn't want that stigma to follow her. When I asked my guest how she's been handling all this upheaval, she says "it's a paradox. Life works in mysterious ways and it gives you the information that you need at exactly at the right time. The first year was really  hard and this is tough stuff."  Her parents  were both strong people and they raised their children to be tough. "It's hard to have the rug pulled out from under you and to loose your identity in the snap of the fingers." I guess you never know what you'll find in your results  when you do a DNA test. It especially is difficult when you get conflicting results as an adult vs a baby or child. Carlyn mentioned LDA or Late Discovery Adoptees. I've attached the link if you'd like further information.        https://www.latediscoveryadoptees.com/ It's been a journey for Carlyn since she got this startling news of being adopted. In the subsequent years, she's done a lot of soul searching and research. She's interviewed many people and family members, found her biological mother and adopted her dog, Grace. November  2022, Carlyn released her most recent book "Junkyard Girl: a Memoir of Ancestry, Family Secrets and Second Chances."  Mary was known for being  very over protective of her daughter and it in fact it caused a lot of contention between the two ladies. She loved her daughter and felt that because she was adopted, she needed to keep an eye on her for her safety. The only regret that Carlyn really has is that her siblings didn't tell her the truth before her parents passed away. Carlyn's older sister thought she was protecting her adopted sibling, just as Carlyn's mother, Mary, thought being over protective would serve her well.

Sondra was a elementary school teacher and loved by her students but, at home she and her second husband loved to argue.   When asked how, at such a young age, did Jonathan have this wisdom and where-with-all about alternative therapies for healing his depression and suicidal tendencies,  he mentioned "seeing my very shy sister being hypnotized by my uncle, who was a hypnotist,  into thinking she was Mick Jagger."  That gave Jonathan great hope for alternative therapies and treatment.  "If I could control my mind, I might be able to reduce my suffering and eventually kind of create my own reality, in fact that has happened," continues Robinson. "If people had the right tools, they could be resilient and survive anything" says Robinson. Jonathan shares  stories of when he was on the Oprah Winfrey show in the 1990's.  My guest often reflex back to the significance of his tough years as an adolescent and how crucial those years were to his healing transformation. But he credits Oprah for her intuition and her ability to overcome the horrors of her childhood where "she was gang rapped  multiply time by the age of fourteen and had a still born child by 15. " She was able to maintain such a good focus, while being so famous is that the roots go  deep, that she really had to find something within herself, that helped guide her for the rest of her life," shares Jonathan.   Jonathan has a very funny story that he shares about his mother and how she eventually came around to appreciating his quest for inner peace and his passion for meditation. Jonathan says he got his curiosity for learning from his mother.  And he cherishes his memories of his mom teaching him how to read at three or four years old. Jonathan's podcast is called "Awareness Explorers"  https://www.awarenessexplorers.com/ where you can find many 10 minute best guided meditations from the Dali Lama and more respected healers. Go to the 'meditation' page. His first book "The Experience Of God" and now with the release of his fourteenth book, "The Enlightenment Project," Jonathan's advice is to "try anything and everything and see what you like and what brings you great peace, then use it. Another great piece of advise is  "what you resist persists," be in the moment and relax. Embrace the moment that you're in and embrace that peace." Jonathan's website: "EnlightenmentProject.net, https://www.theenlightenmentproject.net/ "Humility was a key ingredient to growth and if I ever did not feel that way or grateful for all the help I 'd been  given, then I knew I was going off track," is one more parting message from Jonathan.   https://findinghappiness.com/get-to-know-me/   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Samara  was born in in Baltimore, MD and lived in Jacksonville, Fla. till she was  25. At that point, Samara moved to Northwest North Carolina. At a young age, Samara envisioned her life quite differently, especially in the kitchen. This is where the story begins.... "Marilyn didn't talk about her childhood very much because she doesn't have much that's positive to share, continues Samara. "When she was being raised, she was the product of what would be considered an illegitimate relationship. She was treated very much like the black sheep and the role that they found for her in the family was basically as  something of a servant. She was always cooking and cleaning up after everybody. And over the years, she says she started making food for the family when she was seven. Over the years, she developed her kraft and honed her techniques and  developed an actual love of her process." My guest says that her mother was a rebellious teenager in the early 1940's. Marilyn's mother, Samara's grandmother, did not have a true  presence in her daughter's life. "To say that she was emotionally unavailable is pretty accurate," reflects Samara about her mom.  "Why are you crying, it's not going to bring them back" is what Marilyn would say to her daughter if she was sad and crying about loosing someone." Samara was drawn to her mom's passion of cooking. At the drop of a hat there'd be anywhere from 10 or more guests for dinner. Unfortunately, Samara would serve as the dish washer and cleaner and not an assistant to the chef.  Samara remembers distinctly her mom prepping food for the holidays. "Her Passover Seders, were the meals that stand out to this day. It was because they were never less than an elaborate affair. She'd start cooking days in advance to make the chopped liver and stick it in the fridge and make the Gefilte fish  from scratch, you know,  it was an ordeal, every year."  Today, the relationship is strained between mother and daughter.  Marilyn was a stay at home mom and  critically ill throughout Marilyn's life.  Mom has been bedridden for five years. Both parents are medical professionals but as Marilyn says, "they both hold their cards very close." Samara loves her mom. She says "my mom would give you the shirt off her back, she's was always very generous and a bit of a philanthropist." Despite their differences, Samara truly cares about her mom. Samara's mother is very generous and giving and really a philanthropist with hopes and desires to help others succeed. Despite their differences and challenges in their relationship, Samara truly loves her mother. Samara's current business -"Brew Naturals."  It's all about Elderberries and introducing the local community and retail  and online sales to the variety of snacks, honey, beer, treats, etc that she's created. Plus she loves collaborating with local businesses including breweries to a chocolatier, local creamery, etc. Hearing Samara talk about her Elderberry Apple Butter just makes my mouth water. In Samara's words: "I am a maker of gourmet elderberry products based in WNC. While nearly everyone familiar with elderberry comes to it by way of health and wellness, I'm endeavoring to change the conversation by highlighting its culinary applications. In this pursuit I have developed recipes using my elderberry syrup and had a number of collaborations with regional businesses from cafes/restaurants, creameries/chocolatiers, and even bars/breweries."  WEBSITE:   https://www.brewnaturals.com   https://www.facebook.com/brewnaturals https://www.instagram.com/brewnaturals   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Most graphic designers think their biggest problem is bad clients, low budgets, or too much competition.But the real issue is much harder to admit.They struggle with client communication.Instead of leading conversations, asking better questions, and building real relationships, many designers hide behind emails, messages, and project tools. It feels safer. It feels more efficient. But it quietly kills trust, slows down projects, and costs real opportunities.In this episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, we break down why avoiding phone calls and real conversations is holding graphic designers back and what you need to do to fix it.This is not about becoming more talkative. This is about becoming more effective, more confident, and more valuable to your clients.In this episode, you'll discover: Why graphic designers who avoid client communication stay stuck as order takers  How poor communication skills impact your reputation, income, and career growth  How to build confidence, lead client conversations, and unlock bigger opportunities If you want to grow your design career, attract better clients, and be taken seriously as a graphic designer, this is the skill you can't afford to ignore.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?  See uncut episodes on our YouTube channel at youtube.com/theangrydesigner Read our blog posts on our website TheAngryDesigner.comJoin in the conversation on our Instagram Instagram.com/TheAngryDesignerPodcast

Lynda Huffman left the corporate world after decades of working in medical sales. At this point in her life she wanted to concentrate on what made her happy -interior design. For over 30 years, she'd been designing and decorating on the side and now she's created the "Let's Decorate App" to help anyone and everyone have an easier time at what can be an overwhelming task-fixing up their own home.  Lynda will help you every step of the way. Lynda said that her story was complicated and in fact it truly is. I'll do my best in filling in the details.   Lynda's parents were in their teens when they met and realized that Carolyn, Lynda's biological mother, was pregnant. They married, then shortly before the baby was born, her father was sent to Vietnam.  Subsequently, once dad was oversees, Carolyn was considered an unfit mother and lost custody of her two year old daughter.  At that point, Lynda's grandmother was granted custody.  Within a year Lynda was kidnapped from her grandmother's home by her mom and brought her daughter to Louisiana.  One night, Lynda was left under the care of an underage babysitter while her mother went to work. Unfortunately, Lynda had a terrible fever and the babysitter and her family brought her to the hospital. The doctors told them that Lynda had 103 fever and Rubella. A missing child report was filed and they brought Lynda back to her grandmother's care.   Lynda's father was summoned back to the US from Vietnam in order to handle the divorce and make sure his daughter was  safe and sound and then sent  back to fight in the war.  Two years passed and he eventually married Lynda's 'step mother'. The couple was married for 40 years. Lynda prefers to not give a name to her step mother and I'm sure you'll understand as you hear more of the story.    Lynda knows now that her step mother was extremely jealous of her.  Lynda also knows that her step-mother came from a very dysfunctional family and had a very abusive childhood.  "She was a constant source of real torment for me. All of my friends called me Cinderella" explains Lynda. I was her slave around the house. I was constantly told I was ugly and fat and I was never going to have a man take care of me" shares Lynda. This abuse started when Lynda was seven years old and lasted until she moved out at 18. Step-mom would lie to Lynda's father about things she never did in order to keep Lynda on restriction and not be able to leave the house.  "She kept me under thumb and she made sure that my dad was always mad at me for something," reflects my guest. For the most part, Lynda says "she was a good kid, though she did get caught sneaking out of the house one time but six weeks on restriction for not folding the clothes, was a bit much." My guest says she was just a good kid, a wall flower."  Lynda graduated hight school at seventeen, "but her dad wouldn't let her go away to college. My step mom was in my dad's ear, she didn't want me to leave the house." At 18, finally Lynda was able to move out of the house and got a job and was never going to go back to that house again. Lynda wanted to go to college whether she paid for it herself or not. She paid for college herself and she was never going to have to depend on them for anything. Lynda was going to prove to her step mother that "she did not need a man to take care of her!" Carolyn, Lynda's biological mom eventually  wanted to spend more time visiting her daughter. It wasn't until my guest was eighteen years old that she was able to go out with her mother alone.  At this point, Lynda had her mother on a pedestal. Lynda had envisioned her mom as 'a dream.' Anyone would be better than her step mother. Well, it turns out Carolyn had gotten remarried, but had  gotten pregnant just prior to  marrying her future second husband  and never told the truth about who's baby she was carrying. Lynda reflects on  the incredible take away of this story "it's made me who I am- good, bad or indifferent. I think that we make choices in life. I could have spent  the rest of my life feeling that anger that my mom had let me be raised by this wicked step mother." In my mind, when I grew up that's what all my friends called her." We make a decision, we can say, ok, i'm going to let this be the excuse for why I 'm behaving the way, ... but because my step mom was like that I chose to take a different approach with my step children and we are very close, I am very close with my stepchildren and they've been my step children since they were eight years old." Lynda chose forgiveness over anger after the birth of her second child. She realized that holding onto the anger and resentment toward her biological mother would only hurt her. She didn't want to continue this negative  tradition. Plus her children would benefit from having a grandmother in their life. Lynda is the first to admit that "her mother was a far better grandmother than a mother." Lynda proudly explains "my grandmother, Margaret,  was the one  I got my design eye from." As young as seven years old, Lynda knew  that she wanted to be an Interior Designer, especially after years of dusting and rearranging everything in her step mother's house every week. One of Lynda's favorite things to do was rearrange and decorate her room as a young girl. It brought her so much joy. In time,  Lynda  began sewing and became a seamstress, making beautiful curtains and pillows and was hoping to work in this field one day. Lynda can help you from your home on her new App - the "Let's Decorate App."  Everything from choosing paint colors to artwork, rugs, furniture and it's based on a variety of different rate packages based how many consultations you think you'd like, etc. You can ask Lynda  questions, send her room dimension, etc. It's all within the App so you'll have everything there as a reference.  https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lets-decorate/id1618796307 Link to the app in the app store.   https://www.facebook.com/LetsDecorate https://www.instagram.com/letsdecoratenow/https://apps.apple.com/us/app/lets-decorate/id1618796307?itsct=apps_box_promote_link&itscg=30200 WEBSITE:      https://www.letsdecorate.net/   "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

Therapy Twins Joan and Jane were raised in Connecticut. Both of the sisters are former nurses and their background and life experiences are varied and complex. Just to set up the relationships-Jane is two minutes older than he twin Joan. For most of their lives, they've always  been referred to as  as 'Jane and Joan', so now they like to refer to themselves as Joan and Jane.  Lori, their older sister by three years, is considered the twins 'second mama.'   My guests explain why they believe their mother was not overwhelmingly affectionate and loving.  They believe it began when  their  maternal grandmother abandoned all of  her five children, including the twin's mom, Evelyn. However, Evelyn's father insisted on keeping all of his children and raising them himself.  At that point in  time the twins mom's life changed  drastically.   Evelyn and her twin sister, Rita,  had to go work and take care of injured soldiers and the local elderly and live at a nearby facility. It was not a pleasant environment to say the least. Joan and Jane's  parents met while roller skating and it was love at first sight. Evelyn worked at the local elementary school in the cafeteria for years. She wasn't necessarily a good cook but every night there was a full meal on the table.  From an early age the family was very close. Dinner, conversations, fresh cut fruit every night. "Our mom was a doll" always dressed up and presentable. Joan explains "I think she sacrificed a lot of herself so we could have more. I couldn't even imagine somebody better than she was." Jane on the other hand has a different perspective. " As the 'other' twin, I was born with a glass half empty and I was a depressed child.  I understand now that a mother glows when a child glows. I grew up with a big chip on my shoulder that my mother preferred Joan. Recently I came to the conclusion that when I got my depression treated, and I was bright and airy, I got the look, the smile from my mother and I'm so grateful.  The fact that she didn't leave us was good enough and that's all you need is a good enough mother." Because of miscommunication they lost many years of a loving relationship. Fortunately Jane and her mom both admitted the miscommunication before Evelyn passed in saying to each another "Oh I'm sorry I thought you didn't like me" and vice a versa. Jane insists that "when you change your perception in life and view things a little bit differently, you'd be amazed at the lovely memories you could have."  All Jane can remember now is the good. My guest's mom said "being an identical twin forces you to be comfortable being seen through a  microscope.  Joan and Jane are therapists for anyone and everyone, not just twins.  Between the  two women, they've had some terrifying life experiences including PTSD, a  mugging, sexual assault, near airplane crash and more. They believe  that they experienced early childhood trauma beginning in the 1960's, when they spent 30 days in separate incubators  before they allowed mom and dad to touch the girls.  It wasn't till they got home after one month that they experienced physical and emotional touch. The twins feel that this trauma helps them with working with their clients suffering from similar experiences. You can hear endless stories of the twins sharing symbiotic experiences,  emotionally and physically. And yes, they both have criminal records so don't be surprised if their arrest records  show up when you google them.
