Episode 564 - Sally McQuillen - Reaching for Beautiful - A Memoir of Loving and Losing a Wild ChildSally McQuillen, LCSW, CADCCertified Grief Educator Sally McQuillen, LCSW, CADC, is a psychotherapist in private practice specializing in addiction, grief, and trauma recovery. She provides ongoing support for addiction recovery, as well as support for those recovering from the impact of a loved one's addiction. She sees adults seeking relief from mood symptoms, helps them navigate their personal and professional relationships and lead more fulfilling lives. She works with clients to find peace and healing from trauma and loss. Her goal is to bring light into the lives of her clients intuitively pulling from different therapeutic models and resources to support their specific needs.Book: Reaching for Beautiful - A Memoir of Loving and Losing a Wild ChildA luminous story of how love triumphs over pain, love transcends fear, and love never dies; this debut memoir from a mother grieving her young-adult son's death is a must-read for any parent who has lost a child, is raising a child from the edge of their seat, or whose family struggles with addiction.When Sally's twenty-one-year-old son died in a boat accident, her greatest fear is realized. Christopher was often drawn to risk and struggled with addiction. In this riveting memoir, Sally captures the wild ride of his jam-packed life and her deep love for him while reflecting on her own childhood and family's legacy of alcoholism. Sally shares insights about what it's like to experience the emotional aftershocks of acute grief, filtered through the lens of her personal experience as a mother and her professional vantage point as a psychotherapist. Even if they have not been touched by loss in this way, readers may see themselves in Sally's bittersweet illusion of trying to keep her son safe, in how she is challenged to let go of her fear, guilt, and regret in order to forgive herself, and in the ways grief teaches her about the power of love.https://www.sallymcquillen.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
“Am I overreacting, or is something really wrong?”“How do I protect my peace without starting a fight?”Many women second-guess their own warning bells—especially when others don't understand their sensitivity. Whether it's emotional triggers, past trauma, or just needing quiet in a loud world, you know when something feels off.In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, we explore the subtle intrusion of what Maurice calls “the third person in the room”—the influence that turns moments upside down without warning. Learn how to recognize those intrusions, build deliberate responses, and stop labeling your instincts as overreactions.Topics include:How to identify spiritual vs. fear-based reactionsWhy your first impulse to “talk it out” might backfireWhat it really means to defend your personal space with loveThe importance of rehearsing your response before the momentWhy unique triggers (even “uncommon” ones) still deserve respectHow honoring your spiritual space sets the tone for your homeThis episode is your reminder: your alarm isn't broken. It's trying to protect you.You're not “too sensitive”—you're learning how to stand strong in your sacred space.Want to read more about this topic? https://www.lifechangingservices.org/finding-balance-managing-stress-and-apathy-in-life/Rather Watch Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgKC-_nHGmECheck out Life Changing Services: https://www.lifechangingservices.org/
The Salt Path, a memoir published in 2018, told an inspirational story; how Raynor Winn and her husband Moth lost their home following an unwise investment while the couple were dealing with Moth's diagnosis of a rare terminal illness.It was how they dealt with these blows that was so uplifting: they embarked on a 1,000km coastal walk and a journey of self-exploration. The book sold more than two million copies and prompted a film adaptation starring Gillian Anderson and Jason Isaacs.And while creative licence is usual and even expected in any memoir, an investigation by Chloe Hadjimatheou, a reporter with the Observer newspaper, claims Raynor – real name are Sally Walker – had embezzled money from a former employer.Hadjimatheou also raises a sceptical eyebrow about the diagnosis of corticobasal degeneration that Moth received in 2013, though she does say that nothing she has seen contradicts his diagnosis or the book's account of it.So what has been the reaction from the publishers, the film-makers and the couple in the eye of this literary storm – the Walkers, aka the Winns.Statements responding to the allegations came as the week went on including one from Raynor posting on her website.She admitted her deep regret for any mistakes she made while working for her former employer and is devastated by “unfair and false” accusations that her husband's illness was fabricated or exaggerated. She said the book's account of the way they lost their home is true and that their property in France is “an uninhabitable ruin”. She noted the couple have no outstanding debts.Chloe Hadjimatheou explains the fallout to her report.Presented by Bernice Harrison. Produced by Suzanne Brennan. Hosted on Acast.

“Why do I fall apart when I thought I was ready?”“Why can't I stay calm when things go sideways?”If you've ever been caught off guard in a moment that felt normal seconds ago…If your heart pounds, your thoughts scramble, and suddenly the conversation is over before it begins…You're not failing—you're just under-trained.In this episode of Memoirs of an LDS Servant Teacher, we dive deep into the overlooked truth: self-mastery in relationships isn't just about belief or insight—it's about training. Just like a dancer drills her moves or a musician repeats scales, you must rehearse how you'll respond to chaos, triggers, and miscommunication.Inside, we discuss:Why the "Holy Ghost" doesn't use panic as a communication toolThe real reason you feel like the problem—even when you're notWhat it means when your first thought is “he did something wrong”Why discernment is a drilled skill, not a magical momentThe fire drill method for responding to sudden conflictAnd how to reclaim your confidence with practiced spiritual courageYour mind, like your muscles, can be trained.But weeds grow by default—peace doesn't.Want to read more about this topic? https://www.lifechangingservices.org/going-deeper-addressing-the-full-continuum-of-change-with-the-chemical-scale/Rather Watch Something? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EoiexO35i_sCheck out Life Changing Services: https://www.lifechangingservices.org/

When Sarah Kendzior packs up her family for a road trip across America, she makes sure her kids keep their eyes wide open. She wants them to see this country's wonders and its flaws. Her new memoir, “The Last American Road Trip,” recounts the dozens of drives they've taken since 2016. They leave their home in Missouri and crisscross the country, even as earth-shaking events remake it. Along the way, she disentangles venerated American ideals from the mythology of American exceptionalism. She gapes in wonder at the majesty of the national parks and celebrates the forethought that created them — while acknowledging the threat facing them today. Even the great St. Louis Gateway Arch in her hometown represents both “a triumph and a tragedy,” she writes. It's “a gateway and a memorial, a monolith with no practical purpose that looks dramatically different depending on where you stand.” Kendzior joins host Kerri Miller to take us all on a road trip across America. Grab your favorite snacks, buckle your seatbelt and come along. Guest: Sarah Kendzior is a journalist and best-selling author.

Free episode cross-over with the Bang-Bang Podcast. The question of “Which side are you on?” haunted me (Van Jackson) intermittently throughout the long Global War on Terror. It was a beat that I would hear during occasional moments of consciousness, which I tried to suppress or rationalize away…until I no longer could.On my other show, The Bang-Bang Podcast, I ended up having a surprising conversation with our guest, George Dardess. Before we started the actual episode, we talked at length about memoirs and stories of conversion.George is an expert in the lost art of close reading, which we get into. And his favored genre—which also happens to be mine—is the memoir. My co-host Lyle Rubin wrote a memoir, and his wife, Colette Shade, just came out with a memoir too (both are excellent). In that context, George started asking about my story, and the beginnings of my own memoir inadvertently came pouring out.The conversation has stuck with me everyday since. Although I have no shortage of distractions, I've begun putting pen to paper, reckoning with the slow-burning crisis of conscience that took me from being an agent of the national security state to one of its fiercest critics.As we discuss in this short episode, there are a few factors that might account for my political consciousness.Hip-hop not only acquainted me with the Black Freedom Struggle from an early age; it provided a soundtrack, a musical coda, to my life. And I think that made a difference.Spending time in Monterey, California, at the Defense Language Institute, was a pivotal experience. In a twisted way, so was my immersion in “hustle culture,” which was so strong that I basically lost my 20s to obsessive self improvement. When my humanity finally thawed in the 2010s, the world had changed dramatically and I started questioning my place in it.Physically getting out of Washington—an idea whose appeal grew during my alienation in Obama's second term—was almost certainly crucial too. It feels like I've always been on some Robert Frost shit. Few roads are less traveled by than New Zealand, and it has made all the difference!But I also grew up precarious working class. The lives of the people surrounding me had no connection to the foreign policy world I strived so hard to enter. At first, I saw that as a problem of social mobility. Eventually, I would see it as a problem of class antagonism—national security takes its legitimacy from the people but forsakes them in its every decision. The most generous thing I could say about foreign policy is that people like me faced problems growing up that were never made better by anything happening in national security.Anyway, I have a lot to work through. But if you're interested in memoir as a form, close reading as a practice, or some of the details in my personal evolution, you'll find this impromptu conversation as stimulating as I did.Subscribe to the Bang-Bang Podcast: https://www.bangbangpod.comSubscribe to the Un-Diplomatic Newsletter: https://www.un-diplomatic.com/

In this episode, I sit down with Episcopal priest and author Leyla King to explore her deeply moving memoir Daughters of Palestine. Told through the voices of five generations of Palestinian women, Leyla's book offers a powerful counter-narrative to the dominant Western framing of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Through personal and ancestral stories, she sheds light on the lived experience of Palestinian Christians - stories of displacement, resilience, and unshakable faith. We talk about the intersection of identity and belief, the legacy of generational trauma, and the need to name injustice while holding on to hope. Leyla helps us see why understanding history through human stories is crucial, how reconciliation must be rooted in truth and accountability, and how small acts of listening and proximity can disrupt cycles of vengeance. This is a conversation about the power of story, the pain of loss, and the possibility of healing. It invites us not only to see the full humanity of Palestinians but to reflect on how we might live more faithfully in a fractured world.Leyla K. King is a Palestinian-American Episcopal priest and author. She is a founding member of both Palestinian Anglicans and Clergy Allies (www.palestiniananglicans.org) and The Small Churches Big Impact Collective (smallchurchesbigimpact.org). She writes about her experiences as a Palestinian, a clergywoman and a mother at thankfulpriest.com. Daughters of Palestine is her first book.Leyla's Book:Daughters of PalestineLeyla's Recommendation:The Skin and Its GirlSubscribe to Our Substack: Shifting CultureConnect with Joshua: jjohnson@allnations.usGo to www.shiftingculturepodcast.com to interact and donate.

Former Obama speechwriter David Litt and his brother-in-law, Matt, couldn't be more different. But during the pandemic, Matt taught Litt how to surf.

Ken Wachsberger is back with stories of the joyful life he has built as a writer and activist. Initially motivated in the Nixon years as a pioneer of the anti war underground press, Ken's passion for telling the stories no one else was shaped his next five decades. While building his family with his dear Emily and working every job from vegan caterer to writing coach, he was also building a community to advocate for improvements in his first neighborhood, supporting the court cases of abused women accused of murder, and most recently helping establish his temple as a sanctuary. He finds himself involved with so many national events, we joked he had a Forest Gump thing going. The book is available July 14th and there is a launch party at Third Mind Books in Ann Arbor at 7pm! Available for preorder now on his website- www.kenthebookcoach.com

He shares stories about writing for Seinfeld, directing Curb Your Enthusiasm, and his chaotic experiences working with Sacha Baron Cohen on Borat and Bruno. Charles also tells the story of an early morning call from Ari Emanuel that pulled the plug on his Larry David documentary the day before its HBO premiere.
