As a teen and young woman, she endured prolonged cycles of extreme abuse. Despite her physical and emotional scars, she completed a successful career in Public Safety Services and Emergency Medicine spanning more than 20 years.

She brings highly effective modalities to our mental health work, many of which she developed and continues to instruct and mentor with the Public Safety, Military and Veteran communities.Zeke Vanderpool is cofounder of Operation Angel Wing (OPAW). In 2013, he retired after 23 years of service in Army Special Operations.

Okay, guys. If you listened to last week's episode, you know that we had the pleasure of interviewing Teralyn Davis, the narrator under her pseudename (ha!) June deBorahae who is the voice of sultry, sexy, sweet, sassy Josephine in the Boys of Lake Chapel series. Because we got SO invested in this series, we decided to throw in a bonus episode to close out our thoughts about the all three books of The Boys of Lake Chapel series. Just… holy sexiness. June is an amazing narrator and we are so happy we got to meet her. So, if you haven't read these yet - DO IT! And tell us who your favorite man-meat is between Lock, Killian, Kendrick, and Decker… or, why choose at all…? ***We would love and appreciate it if you could Subscribe then Rate & Review us on iTunes!

Ahh... I thought I'd found all the episodes that got lost in the wake of the great mess that was my December, but guys. I found another one. You missed out on the exciting rom-com series that I got to chat about with Jordan Millsaps back in... October I think! But I found episodes and checked and yep. She was supposed to be early December... and it never happened. Here she is with fun stories that I'm still excited to talk about! (Sorry, Jordan!) note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. When Flash Fiction Sparks a Whole New Writing Path Jordan Millsaps started off writing historical romance, but if you look at her debut novels... they're not. They're contemporary rom-com and they sound hilarious. While I'm eager to read both, of course, I have to admit that March or not, I'm diving into The Holiday Exchange the moment I finish my current rom-com. See, this is what I get for holding out for Christmas last October. Christmas was derailed and I missed out. Well no more! But if a guy with social anxiety and a teacher needing his help aren't calling to you, what about a guy needing a date to his brother's wedding... to his ex-fiancee? I mean, come on! This Boyfriend in the Bargain series promises to be a whole lot of fun. If you doubt me, check out the synopses! But... one tiny good thing has happened out of my fiasco with getting her episode out... Jordan's next book is coming out in just two weeks! That's right! The Parenting Pact releases on April 2, and it's up for preorder now! The Parenting Pact by Jordan Millsaps Being a single parent isn't easy. Finding love as a single parent? That's not even on my radar. I've been parenting my son on my own for five years since my husband passed. But now that I've started my own interior design business, I'm beginning to realize I could use some extra help. What I need is a partner, someone to share the day-to-day logistics of running a house, raising a kid, and operating my business. What I don't need is to complicate my life with romance, no matter what my best friend says. When I meet Chris, a single dad from my neighborhood, I get a crazy idea. My plan is definitely outside the box, but I think we can make it work – as long as I can keep things platonic. But Chris is patient, persistent, passionate…all the P-words that make staying only friends harder than I thought it would be. The Parenting Pact is book #2 in the Boyfriend in the Bargain series but can be read as a standalone. What to expect from The Parenting Pact: Dual POV Friends-to-more He falls first Single parents Love after loss Closed door/kissing only Trigger warning for discussion of loss of a spouse/parent Learn more about Jordan Millsaps on her WEBSITE and follow her on GoodReads and BookBub. And if you missed her Christmas Book Guide we talked about, you can find that HERE. Christmas in July is coming... Like to listen on the go?

Admissions factors in college applications often boil down to grades plus tests and then the rest. What happens when the influence of standardized scores is minimized or entirely excluded? Amy and Mike asked U of R Vice Provost and Dean of Enrollment Management Robert Alexander and educational consultant Aly Beaumont the million-dollar question: what do truly test-optional colleges focus on? What are five things you will learn in this episode? How do you know if a school is truly test-optional? What are the components of the application review process? What aspects of high school grades are most important? How can applicants communicate character through their applications? What is the benefit of submitting test scores to a truly test-optional school? MEET OUR GUESTS Dr. Robert J. Alexander serves as the vice provost and university dean of enrollment at the University of Rochester, with responsibility for more than 90 staff members across the offices of admissions, financial aid, and enrollment management, an operating budget of $9.4 million, and distribution of over $330 million in student aid. As a first-generation college graduate, his twenty-year professional career is animated by a passion for higher education's transformational impact on a diverse array of students. Alexander received his doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania, conducting dissertation research focused on higher education leadership and governance. He previously graduated from Tulane University with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Paul Tulane College and an M.B.A. in Marketing and Management from Tulane's A.B. Freeman School of Business and served on the Tulane Alumni Association Board of Directors. Originally from New York, Alexander serves as class fund chairman for his alma mater, Regis High School. Alexander is active with the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC), the American Association of College Registrars and Admission Officers (AACRAO), the College Board, the Association of Governing Boards (AGB), and the American Marketing Association (AMA), speaking at national meetings regarding enrollment management and marketing strategies. His work has been published in national publications, including the Association of Governing Board's Trusteeship Magazine. Before the University of Rochester, Alexander held senior administrative and teaching roles at various institutions across the United States. As vice president for enrollment and communications at Millsaps College in Jackson, Mississippi, his work increased undergraduate net revenue per student, doubled the representation of domestic students of color and the proportion of international students. As an academic leader and instructor of management, Alexander helped develop Millsaps' nonprofit management program, and taught courses combining Liberal Arts and Business concepts to provide skills for graduates to positively impact their communities. While serving as the associate provost for enrollment at University of the Pacific in northern California, Dr. Alexander coordinated strategic plans that dramatically increased prospective student interest, increased university-wide enrollment to record levels, while simultaneously improving academic quality and financial metrics. As assistant vice president for enrollment management at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, Alexander's efforts during and following Hurricane Katrina successfully restored enrollment and improved the institution's reputation and impact on its surrounding community. Find Robert at ralexander@rochester.ed Aly Beaumont is the founder of Admissions Village, a family focused, affordable, one-on-one college guidance consultancy.
