Think you know everything about Social Security? Think again. What if the difference between a spousal benefit and a survivor benefit could mean thousands of dollars more in your pocket, but no one tells you? In this eye-opening episode, Stacey Francis sits down with Mary Beth Franklin, a nationally recognized expert on Social Security, to unravel the complex web of rules and opportunities surrounding Social Security for widows and divorced women. With over 2,700 rules in the system, most people make costly mistakes without even knowing it. Mary Beth breaks it all down in clear, practical terms and shares the strategies that can maximize lifetime benefits. You'll hear us discuss: How Social Security retirement, spousal, and survivor benefits are actually separate “pots of money” What divorced women need to know about eligibility for spousal and survivor benefits - even if their ex has remarried How the length of your marriage (and whether you remarried after age 60) can impact what you're entitled to Why claiming benefits early could lead to permanent reductions, and what full retirement age really means The surprising rule that allows widows to claim one benefit now and switch to a higher one later How earnings limits can affect your benefit if you're still working Why children under 18 (and their caregiving parent) may be eligible for survivor benefits after a parent dies Real-life scenarios that show how proper strategy can increase benefits by tens of thousands of dollars How to claim retroactive benefits and what to do if Social Security gave you the wrong advice Where to find the most reliable information and professional help, including Mary Beth's own resources Resources Mary Beth Franklin on Web | X (Twitter) | Email: MBFretirepro@outlook.com | Phone number: 703-609-4764 | Maximizing Social Security Benefits Other resources - Social Security Advisors - help with claiming backpay | Social Security Administration - government website with information on Social Security Benefits Stacy Francis on LinkedIn | X(Twitter) | Email: stacy@francisfinancial.com FrancisFinancial.com Reach out to receive a complimentary consultation!

Together, they reflect on the life and impact of a man who not only built champions but inspired generations through faith, leadership, and service.From his time as a Vietnam veteran to his rise as a National Wrestling Hall of Fame coach, Coach Barger's journey is a powerful example of what it means to lead with heart and purpose.

"I'm good." This was a common response that Mary Beth's son, Michael, used when he didn't want to do something or go somewhere. "Michael, do you want to come with me?" "I'm good." It almost became a bit of a family joke. After Michael died 18 months ago at 21 years of age, his brother, a talented artist, wrote a cartoon depicting Michael in heaven. In the cartoon, his brother was longing to have Michael back with them, here on earth, with their family, so he called heaven. When Jesus answered the phone, he was asked if he could send Michael back home. Jesus responded, "Let me go ask him." Michael's response was typical Michael - "I'm good." The problem, of course, is that although Mary Beth is sure that Michael is 'good', Mary Beth is not. She and their entire family miss Michael terribly. Michael is the second of five sons in an incredibly close family. Although Michael had a long history of anxiety struggles, his family thought he was great. He seemed happy and was completing his college education with a degree in biology. He was a brilliant and talented young man with a bright future ahead of him.  Unbeknownst to his family, however, Michael was suffering inside. Mary Beth was shocked when she found him dead in the room where he had been living at his grandparents' house, and more shocked when they learned that he had taken his own life. After searching his computer, they found an unsent email where he described having homicidal and suicidal thoughts. He was suffering a mental breakdown and shared that he feared that he might kill other people. In that moment, he seemed to feel like the way to protect others was to die himself. Mary Beth did not know how she could go on living after losing Michael, but day by day, she is doing just that. Each day is a challenge, but Mary Beth continues to get up, go to work, and parent their four living boys. Does she expect to cry daily? Of course she does. Can she honestly answer, 'I'm good' when she is asked? Definitely not. But, until that day comes, Mary Beth clings to the knowledge that Michael is most certainly ‘good' up in heaven.

When did people begin seeking anonymous advice for their most profound personal dilemmas? What can the answers to their early questions tell us about the emotional lives of people in the past?  We're traveling back in time to 1690s England to explore the world's first personal advice column, The Athenian Mercury. This two-sided broadsheet publication invited readers to send in questions about anything–from science and religion to love and marriage– and its creators, a small group of Londoners who dubbed themselves the “Athenian Society,” answered these queries with a surprising blend of wit, morality, and insight. Joining us for this investigation is Mary Beth Norton, the Mary Donlon Alger Professor Emerita at Cornell University and award-winning historian who is a trailblazer in the field of early American women's history.

He also earned CHSAA 5280 League Coach of the Year in 2019.Upon his arrival at PCC in 2021, Bell got right to work recruiting incoming freshmen, graduate students, and transfers. With a new program and new players, Bell dove in feet first and has been coaching the Eagles for the last three seasons. With an overall record of 30-44 (16-17 in conference play) Coach Bell and the Eagles worked their way into the NCCAA South Region Championship game in 2024 for the first time since the 2015-2016 post-season. Outside of basketball, Bell has been a financial advisor in Cheyenne, WY, an experience that shaped his views concerning building professional relationships with coworkers and clients. “My view is that when God gives talents, He gives them to us so that we will use those talents to bring others closer to Him,” said Coach Bell. “I'd like our basketball family to encourage our players and our opponents to use their talents to move people closer to God.” Bell and his wife Chastity have three daughters, Mary Beth, Abby, and Aubrey. In his spare time, Bell has enjoyed continuing to coach as well as spending time on the lake by his home in Colorado.//Bio taken from www.pcceagles.com

Mary Beth Powers never expected to become a caregiver during what should have been her freedom-filled empty nester years. Instead, she found herself stretched between caring for her husband with Meniere's disease at home and her mother-in-law who lived 45 minutes away. The physical distance created practical challenges that were amplified during COVID when quarantine protocols meant she couldn't return home after providing care.The breaking point came when both loved ones needed 24-hour care simultaneously. In a raw moment of desperation, Mary Beth found herself in a laundry room, sobbing and questioning God about the fairness of her situation. It was there she heard His gentle voice: "I just need you to be my hands and feet in this moment." This divine encounter didn't remove her challenges but gave them profound meaning, transforming her perspective from self-focused frustration to purpose-driven service.One of the most beautiful moments emerged when Mary Beth, who had once dreamed of becoming a hairdresser, found herself styling her mother-in-law's soft white hair. This simple act created an unexpected bridge between them, deepening a relationship that had previously been somewhat distant. Meanwhile, Mary Beth watched in amazement as her adult children—all newlyweds beginning their own families—stepped up to support both her and their grandmother in remarkable ways.The greatest wisdom Mary Beth gained was recognizing that caregiving was never about her comfort or convenience. She learned that running to Jesus first, being honest about difficult emotions without placing blame, and focusing on the person needing care rather than personal inconvenience made all the difference.  Mary Beth encourages caregivers to give themselves grace while remembering that God meets us perfectly in our imperfections.

Mary Beth Cicero, co-founder of Three Daughters, shares how her passion for women's health led to the development of a new frameless, self-assembling magnetic IUD designed to significantly reduce the pain of insertion and retrieval. The device, inspired by embryo transfer techniques and using copper as its active ingredient, aims to improve comfort, eliminate strings, and offer a more body-conforming contraceptive option—especially for younger women deterred by current IUDs.

What does it really look like to lead with courage, advocate for yourself (and others), and embrace vulnerability as a strength? In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking with Mary Beth Plank-Mezo, who is the Vice President of Staff and Cultural Development at Full Sail University and has been with the university for an incredible 36 years. Her leadership has touched so many across the campus — and I know firsthand how impactful she's been. We recorded this conversation live in studio at Full Sail, and you'll hear how Mary Beth's leadership journey has evolved over the years, from being a quiet observer in meetings to becoming a powerful voice and advocate for change. She shares the pivotal moments that shaped her, including the time she walked into the founder's office and asked to switch departments (talk about bold self-advocacy!) and how she helped start the university's Staff and Cultural Development department. We talk about: Why asking for what you want is so important (even when it's scary) How to deal with “no” - and why it doesn't always mean “never” The value of listening first and co-creating a vision to build trust and buy-in What happens when leaders show vulnerability (and how it fosters innovation) Why women often hold themselves back and what we can do to push past that The three layers of advocacy: for yourself, by others, and for others Mary Beth also shares what continues to fuel her passion for mentoring and growing new leaders and how she sees her role now as ensuring the next generation is ready to take the reins. This is one of those episodes that will stay with you, especially if you've ever questioned whether your voice matters (spoiler: it does). Tune in and then ask yourself: What's one area where you can advocate for yourself right now? Who's in your corner, cheering you on and who can you advocate for?
