The Press Democrat, the longtime local newspaper of Santa Rosa and Sonoma County, has been sold to MediaNews Group, a newspaper publisher owned by Alden Global Capital, an investment firm based in Manhattan. The sale has raised alarms among North Bay journalists and residents, who fear that the company will continue its pattern of buying newspapers and then slashing staff. KQED's Gabe Meline joins us to discuss the sale and its potential impact on the local media landscape in the North Bay. Correction: The description of Alden Global Capital has been updated.

Courtney DeGraff, Executive Director of Anderson Valley Winegrowers, is our guest on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. They are putting on the International White Wine Festival, for the fifteenth year, on February 15 and 16 at the Mendocino County Fairgrounds. It used to be called the Alsatian White Wine Festival. The name change opens the festival to feature a wider variety of wines, such as Grüner Veltliner and Chardonnay. Dan Berger will be in charge of the Rieslings. The in-person Grand Tasting is at the Fairgrounds in Booneville, on Saturday. Early access from 11 to 12 and general access from 12 to 3. Go to this page at the AV Wines website for more info about the International White Wine Festival and for links to purchase tickets. Use the discount code RADIO for 20% off. Anderson Valley is growing in Chardonnay production. Most of the fruit used to go to sparkling wines but they are also producing some very nice still Chardonnays now. Scharffenberger Sparkling Wine Barry Herbst has brought a Scharffenberger sparkling wine, which he considers to be a great value. They make six or seven different kinds of sparkling wine. It is also a beautiful property to visit, in Philo. Dan calls it more persistent in its flavor profile, with more structure. It's $21.99 at Bottle Barn. The winemaker Jeffery Jindra came over from Husch Vineyards. Dan Berger reports that there are several Napa valley growers who are also buying property in Anderson Valley. It is a more relaxed setting. It's definitely worth a visit. There are also other attractions like beer and cheese making. Bottle Barn is in the process of putting out the San Francisco Chronicle Competition winners. They will have about a hundred different awarded wines. After that, the Press Democrat limited competition (north of the Golden Gate) takes place. Barry's other wines today are the Maggy Hawk Chardonnay, a Gewurtztraminer from Husch and a Goldeneye Brut Rosé. They are all pictured in the top illustration and are also all available at Bottle Barn.
On January 12, 1983, the Sonoma County Sheriff's Department received a call from a frantic driver who reported they'd just witnessed a shooting on the side of the side of the road in Fulton, California and the shooters had fled the scene a pickup truck. Deputies quickly located the truck and were led on a forty-five minute high-speed chase through Sonoma and Napa counties before finally being apprehended and identified as Michael and Suzan Carson.The Carsons were held on a charge of murdering the truck's original owner, Jon Charles Hellyar, but they refused to say a word to police. In time, however, Michael and Suzan Carson began to talk and eventually held a press conference during which they revealed a great deal about themselves and even went so far as to make ambiguous confessions to other recent murders in Northern California. In the months that followed their arrest, Michael and Suzan Carson reveled in their notoriety and the media attention their statements captured. In addition to the murder of Hellyar, they would also be convicted of two other murders, claiming themselves to be Muslim warriors on a mission to rid the world of witches and other practitioners of dark magic, earning them the nickname “The San Francisco Witch Killers.”Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1983.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Anne Belden, Paul Gullixson, and Beth Eurotas-Steffy as guest to the show. About "Inflamed": “Inflamed” is a story about the abandonment of more than 100 senior citizens at a luxury senior living complex during a catastrophic wildfire in California's Wine Country in 2017. The book offers an hour-by-hour account of the desperate attempts by family members and others to reach and rescue their loved ones from Villa Capri, an assisted living and memory care center, and Varenna, a massive independent living community. The book then chronicles the battle for truth and accountability against the facility's powerful owners who tried to deny what happened and silence their critics, going as far as financing a million-dollar recall of the district attorney who investigated the botched fire evacuation. About Anne Belden: Anne Belden runs the journalism program and advises the newsroom at Santa Rosa Junior College. Before teaching, she spent 18 years as a journalist, working as a reporter and editor on the San Francisco Peninsula where her news, feature, and investigative articles were recognized by the California Newspaper Publishers Association, San Francisco Peninsula Press Club, and Parenting Publications of America. Anne holds a bachelor's degree in mass communication from UCLA and a master's degree in media studies from Stanford University. She lives in Sebastopol, California. About Paul Gullixson: Paul Gullixson is a seasoned journalist with more than 35 years of experience working for West Coast newspapers, including The Press Democrat, the San Francisco Chronicle and other Bay Area newspapers. As columnist and editorial writer for The Press Democrat, he played a key role in the newspaper winning the 2018 Pulitzer Prize for coverage of the October 2017 fires. Paul currently serves as Communications Manager for the County of Sonoma. He lives in Santa Rosa, California.
A controversial ballot measure in Sonoma County could reshape agriculture in the region and beyond. Measure J would ban so-called “concentrated animal feeding operations" — essentially a prohibition on large farms, which proponents of the measure derisively call factory farms. It has split the historic agricultural community, pitting, as Politico put it, “people who shop at farmers markets against those who supply them." Marisa and Guy talk with The Press Democrat's Phil Barber and University of Iowa professor Silvia Secchi about how Measure J could affect farming far beyond California's borders.

Claire Elaine from Wooden Petal Bake Shop in Santa Rosa, joins Harry Duke and Herlinda Heras on Brew Ha Ha today. Brew Ha Ha is a double show and podcast today. Also in the studio is Raena Jones-Metzger from Rio Nido Roadhouse. Occasionally, if we have two guests on one radio show, we make two podcasts from the live show, so that each guest can have their own podcast audio and a sharable (and indexable) web page of their own episode. The Rio Nido Roadhouse podcast episode page is over here. Claire describes her day in the bake shop which begins at 3:30 or 4:00 making dough and then sandwiches from her pretzel buns. Wooden Petal is a name that Claire came up with, based on her grandmother's catering company Wooden Spoon. Also, she was “an English granny” and used to call Elaine Petal, hence Wooden Petal. She and her partner built their shop a couple of years ago, from scratch. They had to re-permit the location to serve food. Moonlight Brewing Co. is where she did her first pop-up selling pretzels. Wooden Petal is at 4984 Sonoma Hwy. near Middle Rincon Rd. They are open 7am to 1 pm. Pretzel Buns Make Great Sandwiches Wooden Petal's pretzel buns make great sandwiches. Turkey or Salami with chive butter, with cheddar is called the You Betcha. The East Coaster is a classic deli sandwich with mayo mustard and cheddar, and the Valencia has fresh mozzarella, pesto and house tapenade. Russian River Brewing Co. is open in Santa Rosa on 4th St. and at their big Windsor location. Visit their website for up-to-date hours, menus, beers and more. Tomorrow, Friday Sept. 27, (as we are live on Thursday Sept. 26) Wooden Petal debuts the Meatball Grinder, which is meatballs, ricotta and parmesan, on a pretzel bun. Claire and Wooden Petal Bake Shop were featured in the Press Democrat recently, here is the article. See our sponsor Victory House at Poppy Bank Epicenter online, for their latest viewing and menu options. Claire suggests ordering ahead online, or by phone. Her original idea was that pretzels would be popular in Beer City. At first, she started by doing pop-ups, and the response was always great because her pretzels always fit into the events where she appears. She is very proud of having a lot of loyal local customers.
Dennis McCarter, owner and winemaker of McCarter Cellars, is back on California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger. This is his second time as a guest on CWC, the last time was this episode back in January of this year. Dan Berger is away again this week and Melissa Galliani joins us in the studio. Dennis tells about having taken a course at SRJC about pairing wine and food, which left him with the desire to start making wine. He started by making five gallons of Barbera in his garage. As he continued to make wine, he started winning awards, so he decided to go pro. That coincided with his transition out of the insurance business. The 2022 Sauvignon Blanc came from Rogers vineyard in Dry Creek Valley. The location is on the cooler side of the area. Dennis eventually finished enology studies at SRJC. His wines started winning awards right away. They continue to win recently. The inaugural Pinot Noir earned 98 points and took best of class at the North Coast Wine Challenge, sponsored by the Press Democrat and his Gewürztraminer took silver there. His Rosé, Pinkish, took a gold medal at Experience Rosé challenge. Click the logo to visit Davis Bynum Wines. Dennis is involved in a group of American Vintners that meets quarterly. He is also on the board of the Sonoma Library Foundation, to do fund raising. With them, he helped organize Tasting Diversity, where they hosted events to raise exposure for African-American owned wineries. For more information about Tasting Diversity, visit this page at the Sonoma Library Foundation and scroll down to the middle of the page where it is listed among their other events. Discount Code There is a discount code WINERADIO for listeners to get 15% off. Dennis has accomplished a lot as a winemaker after only two years. His Gewurtztraminer is tasty and Dennis attributes its success to his method that includes he and his wife pressing the grapes with their own feet. His favorite wines to make are Pinot Noir and Zin, and aromatic whites like Gewurtztraminer. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Rodney Strong for info on the 2024 Summer Concert series. McCarter Cellars will have a tasting room by the end of the year, in a location across from where Carol Shelton Wines is located. Wait for news by the end of harvest season. That is starting to get busy now.
California Wine Country with Steve Jaxon and Dan Berger celebrates World Chardonnay Day with a selection of Chards and Rosés. Dan has brought two Chardonnays, three Rosés and a mystery wine from Dan's cellar. The first tasting is called Samur, and it's a 2022 Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley. The producer is Arnaud Lambert. It is on the sweet side, a “patio wine” says Dan. The region is south-east of Paris. It starts on the Atlantic coast and follows the river east over 100 miles. Next, they taste a 2022 Knuttel Family Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley. Bill Knuttel was the winemaker at Dry Creek Vineyards for a long time. This wine won a gold medal at the recent Press Democrat wine competition. It has a bit of both rich and tart flavors. “Sonoma County makes better Chardonnay than just about any American wine region.” -Dan Berger. There are so many sub-regions of Sonoma County that produce different styles of Chardonnay. The Wine Market Right Now Wine sales are down. Why, everyone asks? Is it because millennials have more options for beverages than ever before? Within the last 6 months, the craft brewing industry has collapsed, and sales of wine are flat but not off. It is more seasonal than beer. Beer sells year-round, but wine has summertime specialties like Rosés. When the weather turns hot, everybody wants Rosé. Red wine is not a summertime wine, although Pinot Noir is “going nuts” while zinfandel sales are flat. Maybe that's because people are backing off the high alcohol wines. Other varietals are getting more attention, relatively speaking, such as Syrah, Grenache and many more. Click the logo to visit our sponsor Rodney Strong for info on the 2024 Summer Concert series. Dan describes Chardonnay as kind of neutral flavored, as a grape, it really doesn't have a lot of flavor. It is sort of citrussy and fresh, but not always. If harvested late, it can be rich and bold. But it is a clean canvas for a winemaker. Since Chardonnay doesn't have very much by itself, if it is properly treated in the vineyard and in the winery, then in the barrel, everything you do can change the wine. From year to year, what style does mother nature allow a winemaker to make that year? Dan notes three types, from three Sonoma County regions, Petaluma Gap, Russian River Valley and Bennet Valley. Petaluma Gap has wind and Russian River Valley has fog. Both conditions slow the ripening so the grape stay on the vines a bit longer. This is also true of Bennet Valley, in Sonoma County. Dry Creek Valley can also produce some great Chardonnay, although it is better known for other varietals. Click the logo to visit Davis Bynum Wines. A German Chardonnay Next is a 2021 Chardonnay from Germany. Chardonnay has appeared in Germany only in the last ten years, as climate change has made Germany warmer. In the future some vineyards that produce Riesling will probably be converted to Chardonnay. They are even making Chapagne-style wines in England now, which was impossible before the warming of the climate. Rosés too, today Rosés became popular after stainless steel tanks were developed that allowed winemakers to keep the temperature down during winemaking. The first tasting is Campuget, a Rosé from France, very dry with a trace of sugar. Another is a 2022 Mas de Gourgonnier. (Mas is an old French word for a farm. -ed. note)

On the evening of February 4, 1972, middle school friends Maureen Sterling and Yvonne Weber left their homes with a plan to hitchhike to the Redwood Empire Ice Arena in Santa Rosa, California—it was the last time either girl would be seen alive. Nearly one year later, the bodies of Maureen and Yvonne were discovered at the foot of a steep embankment in a rural part of Santa Rosa, identifiable only by the jewelry Maureen had been wearing the night she left the house. By the time the remains of Sterling and Weber were discovered, three other young women from the Santa Rosa area had gone missing or been found murdered, all of whom had been seen hitchhiking just prior to their disappearance. In time, law enforcement officials would link Sterling and Weber's murders to the other three woman discovered in 1972, and three others that occurred in the year that followed, all believed to have been killed by the same man or men. The Santa Rosa hitchhiker murders, as they're informally known, are one California's most perplexing cold cases in the state's history. In addition to the eight women believed to be victims of the same killer, there are several others who disappeared under similar circumstances and could potentially be additional victims. Although there have been several theories as to who was responsible for the deaths, including Ted Bundy and the Zodiac Killer, there has never been any evidence to positively identify the killer.Thank you to the brilliant David White, of the Bring Me the Axe podcast, for research!ReferencesCook, Stephen. 1975.

Sonoma County's airport, jail, and social services office, among other county services, are suffering from severe understaffing. According to a six-month investigative report by Sonoma's Press-Democrat, vacancy rates for key county positions range from 25% to 41%. Burnout, turnover and early retirements are contributing to the crisis. Meanwhile, frustrated county residents seeking assistance face long lines, interminable hold times, and busy phone signals. We'll talk about how Sonoma is trying to address these problems, which are common to many Bay Area counties.

On Halloween night, 1981, a nun was murdered by a mysterious intruder in the Saint Francis Convent in Amarillo, Texas. Scrambling to put someone behind bars for this heinous crime, as well as others of its kind in the area, police accepted the help of a psychic. And soon after, they arrested the teenager they felt was responsible. But now, more than forty years later, the community is still wondering, was he really behind it? This is the murder of Sister Tadea Benz.

December 12, 2022, Sarah Reith — The Board of Supervisors gave a less-than-resounding nod of approval to the first step of an effort to increase tax assessments on businesses that appeal to tourists. The Mendocino County Tourism Commission and a contractor called Civitas Advisors told the Board that they believe the county should allow the Business Improvement District, or BID, to double its assessment from one to two percent on all lodging concerns, including campgrounds. The Commission also wants to evaluate the option of collecting a 1% assessment from what it calls “tourist facing” businesses, including restaurants and tasting rooms. The businesses and local government bodies in the cities and the unincorporated parts of the county would have to agree to the higher rate, which the businesses would pass on to their customers. According to Commission Executive Director Travis Scott, the 2% assessment is an industry standard in northern California. The Commission's efforts to promote the county are funded by the current 1% assessment, plus fifty cents on the dollar from the county general fund. The proposed higher assessment is intended to save the county money on marketing itself to visitors. The Commission's final goal is to reconfigure the parameters of the Business Improvement District, including its structure and the length of its contract. But yesterday, Emily Brown, of Civitas, told the Board that all she wants at the moment is access to information about the county sales tax and transient occupancy tax, to see if the plan is even worth pursuing. Supervisor Dan Gjerde was skeptical, saying, “You already know exactly how much the existing lodging produces, because you already receive a 1% BID from the existing lodging. The only thing you don't have now is the assessment on the campgrounds, in terms of lodging. But we have a 10% ToT tax that the county is donating, per voter proposal, to the fire departments. But we already have that data. You just do a multiplier, or a division, of the ten percent tax that the campgrounds are collecting. And I believe it's about $700,000 a year, so 1% would be $70,000 a year, one and a half would be a hundred and five. So that doesn't need any new information from the county Treasurer (Tax Collector) Auditor (Controller)'s office. I don't want to release the information about restaurants because that just stirs up a hornet's nest, county-wide…it's going to slow down this process, and we're going to be voting on our county budget, and you will not have approval from any of the cities, I predict, if the restaurants are included in the discussion. And so what does that do? Well, 40% of the BID, right now, comes from the four cities. If you lose all that BID collection from the cities, you've gained almost nothing, even if you go from a one to a two percent BID. Because now you've lost 40% of your revenue. So your net increase is infinitesimal. And then you're still going to be looking for a match from the county. Which we don't have.” Supervisor Glenn McGourty had a different take, explaining his support by reasoning that, “What we're doing is we're giving them (the businesses) the information. This is what it looks like if you decide to do this. This is what it's going to cost you. This is how much money would be raised. You decide, not us. And then I think that that is a very different message than saying, we're all going to fail because we know you're opposed.” Martha Barra, an influential local business woman, said she thinks this is the wrong time to ask for an increased assessment, but that tourism is poised to overtake other sectors of the economy. “Marijuana is dead,” she declared. “If you saw the front page of the Press Democrat on Sunday, when cannabis goes from $4000 a pound to $100 a pound, there's no way that those growers can even work to become legal. So we've got tourism, and we need to put our efforts into making our county pristine, beautiful, and attractive. And as our businesses start doing better, this will be our hope for our county.” Michael Katz, Executive Director of the Mendocino Cannabis Alliance, refuted one of Barra's points. “Cannabis is not dead in Mendocino County,” he insisted. “It is also in a downturn — a significant downturn, part of which has been exacerbated by the Mendocino Cannabis Department and the Board (of Supervisors), but that is something that can be resolved. The few things that have (been) shown to provide reliable revenue recently have been tourism and cannabis.” He added that he supports funding the Commission to continue drawing tourists, many of whom he believes are drawn by the county's reputation for high-quality cannabis. Supervisor Ted Williams invoked the county's ongoing budget woes, but eventually voted with Supervisors McGourty and Maureen Mulheren to grant Civitas the razor-thin margin it needed to access the financial data and to craft a nondisclosure agreement about it. “I don't want to see us start a fight with restaurants, and have this fail before it takes off,” he began. “Because we don't know how bad our books are. We may find out we have much worse financial problems than we know. And in fact, just to give you a taste: the new jail wing, which is over budget, and will probably be even more over budget. If the county doesn't have that new wing, we will have a major financial problem on our hands eventually. That's a mandated service that we can't provide without that new wing. And yet, we don't have a line item in our budget for the staffing for that thing. Or the maintenance. And I imagine we're talking three to five million (dollars) a year. We don't have any way to pay for it. So when you put public safety, which is a requirement, on the weight scale with marketing the county, public safety is always going to win. That is our priority. I would hate for this to fail because we included restaurants and lost the city support. So I want to support the effort, but I want to ask that the parties be very careful that this becomes a win. If you don't think it's going to pass, if it's on the edge, pull back.” If the new model is viable and the businesses and city councils opt in, the Commission plans to roll it out in the fall of next year.
November 15, 2022, Sarah Reith — Noble Waidelich, the former Ukiah Police Chief, has been accused of sexually assaulting a woman on June 13th of this year while on duty. The Sonoma County Sheriff's Office handled the investigation, but details are sparse. Mike Geniella, a longtime reporter for the Press Democrat and former spokesman for District Attorney David Eyster, has called for Eyster to recuse himself from the case because of his aggressive treatment of a woman who is now pursuing Waidelich in civil court, claiming domestic violence. Geniella reported on the State Attorney General's review of the most recent allegation, and a few days ago, he broke the news that the AG had refused Eyster's request to step away from the case. Geniella spoke with KZYX on Monday. “So the case is back in Eyster's lap,” Geniella said. “He's had it for five months now. The details are sketchy, but we do know now, thanks to the Attorney General's office, that what's facing the former police chief is an accusation of sexual assault of a woman while on duty. That has been impossible to pin down until now. There's really been a wall of silence — the blue wall of silence, around this case. Coming on the heels of the Sergeant Murray case, and how close these two cases are linked, in terms of the Ukiah police department, and what's been going on there for quite some time, it's left people wondering, what's happening here?” In August, Eyster's office prosecuted former Ukiah Police Sergeant Kevin Murray on charges much reduced from the original sex crimes and burglaries Murray was facing. One victim's records were left out of the plea deal entirely, and Murray emerged with a sentence of two years probation and no jail time. “The District Attorney has not said one word,” Geniella continued. “He's not said one word about the Sergeant Murray case. He's not said one word about the former police chief's case. He simply is not talking, and frankly, no one else in law enforcement is talking.” When Waidelich was first fired back in mid-June, Geniella spoke out about his opinion that Eyster should recuse himself, due to his history with Waidelich's earlier accuser. But the Attorney General's letter to Eyster, dated November 3, addresses matters of public opinion, and assures him that “the perception of a conflict does not require recusal or disqualification of the local elected prosecutor.” Geniella insists that this is not entirely a matter of public perception. “Being aware of a pending lawsuit involving Noble Waidelich and a former county probation officer who used to work in the District Attorney's office and later became a probation officer,” he said, referring to Amanda Carley's suit against Waidelich for domestic abuse; “The D.A. declined to prosecute (Waidelich), based on her complaints that were investigated by the Mendocino County Sheriff's Department. Not only did he decline to prosecute, but he took the extraordinary step of placing her on a so-called Brady list, which in effect says, a law enforcement officer cannot be relied upon to be a witness. And as a result she ultimately left the county and went to southern California and became a criminal investigator for the state, so clearly someone thought she was truthful. I believe that the Attorney General's office is saying two things: one: public perception, Mr. Eyster, is not the issue. He has the results of the Sonoma County outside investigation into this matter. He is the District Attorney. He has the latitude, just as he did with the earlier case, to make the decision…I think the District Attorney finds himself in a very difficult position here. All these people are known. We know who the victim is.” The alleged victim remains anonymous, but Geniella maintains that “she is a friend of top law enforcement leaders…it's just my speculation, but the State Attorney General's office said, Mr. Eyster, it's not public perception. It's, you do your job. And they kicked it back. The next question is, what is the District Attorney doing with this case?” Geniella said he hasn't seen the letter Eyster wrote to the Attorney General's office, just the AG's response to Eyster's letter. “So all we know at this moment, whatever facts of the matter we have, is from the State Attorney General…but no specifics. There's no mention of earlier involvement with the police chief's behavior. There's no charge. We simply have no information. The only information we have at this point is thanks to the response of the State Attorney General.” You can read more of Mike Geniella's work on MendoFever and at the Anderson Valley Advertiser.

Press Democrat reporters Mary Callahan and Kerry Benefield talk about the survivors' harrowing stories from the Mark West neighborhood during the Tubbs Fire in Sonoma County 2017 and how you move on from that. They talk about gaining trust as a reporter with people who have gone through the most devastating experiences. About dispatchers working through the night of the fire knowing their own homes were burning down and stories from first responders still wishing they could have done more.
Mike Harkins stayed behind as the flames approached his Coffey Park neighborhood and everyone else evacuated. Harkins knocked on doors to make sure people were awake, and leaving. He helped his elderly neighbor, a wheelchair user, into her van. When he wasn't hosing down his house and the houses of neighbors, Harkins was stamping out spot fires. Harkins recalls that night for The Press Democrat.

The Press Democrat shares its October 2022 series marking 5 years since the 2017 wildfires. Those who lost everything say the deck was stacked against them from the start. In this episode, Press Democrat "In Your Corner" columnist Marisa Endicott and Press Democrat enterprise and investigative reporter Andrew Graham talk about the frustration that's been building as fire victims wait for compensation some five years later.
In this first of a series of podcasts throughout October 2022 to accompany reports in print and online, The Press Democrat examines five years since the 2017 wildfires. Deputy editor Brett Wilkison talks with senior reporter Phil Barber about the fires, what we've learned since, and views on how climate change plays a role.

On October 1,1993, 12 year old Polly Klaas and two friends were excited to have a sleepover at Polly's home where they would eat ice cream, try on Halloween Costumes, and play board games. The sleepover did not go as planned when at 10:30 PM, Polly went to get supplies for the party and came face to face with a bearded man standing in her doorway. He tied up the other two girls and took Polly away into the night. Her body was found 9 weeks after her kidnapping when the man who had been arrested in suspicion for her kidnapping confessed and told police where to find her. Her case was the first to ever be shared on the internet in 1993 and helped pave the way for Megan's Law, Amber Alerts, and California's Three Strikes Law.

While becoming a mother has many blessings, along with the hugs and cuddles comes an invisible workload that women disproportionately shoulder. Aside from the physical toll of childbearing, our mental and emotional health can suffer as we strive to keep our families, homes and careers afloat. In today's episode, I talk with Kaitlin Soule, a licensed marriage and family therapist, about her new book, “A Little Less of a Hot Mess: The Modern Mom's Guide to Growth and Evolution.” Kaitlin specializes in women's mental health, motherhood and anxiety. She's on a mission to empower women with practical mental health guidance so they can step into their identity as mothers and so much more with increased awareness and compassion, and a healthy dose of humor. Kaitlin shares the impact motherhood can have on our mental health, common roadblocks for women in their new role as a mother, the biggest gift we can give to our children and practical advice for the whole family to enjoy their time at events or in new places.

Guest is Farah Diaz-Tello, IF/WHEN/HOW senior counsel and Legal Director for If/When/How, a reproductive justice advocacy group that is co-sponsoring the legislation. California lawmakers have advanced a bill that would strengthen laws preventing prosecution of pregnant people for pregnancy loss. California already has laws preventing these types of prosecutions. But a bill that passed the Assembly Health Committee on Tuesday would let women sue prosecutors for erroneously charging them with crimes related to pregnancy losses. Also, a teachable moment is ignored at West County High in Sonoma. The incident involved a “promposal” — where one student asks another to prom. The student was photographed holding a sign that referred to the use of African slaves to grow and harvest cotton, Principal Shauna Ferdinandson said. It said that rather than do what they did, since she is white, she'd be “picking” her date for prom, a copy of the photo obtained by The Press Democrat shows. The student in the photo, as well as two others who posted the photo on social media, have been disciplined, Ferdinandson said. She declined to discuss the nature of that discipline, citing student privacy laws. “All across campus people are very upset,” Ferdinandson added. “I think the picture personified some of the feelings and experiences (students of color) have had that have been more subtle, and have brought it to light.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
