Her grief not only shaped her life, but it would also lead her into the field of social work and bereavement services.  As part of her doctoral thesis, she developed the Inventory of Youth Adaptation to Loss (IYAL), a strength-based outcome instrument, through her partnerships with dozens of children's bereavement programs nationwide and in Canada.Here's what we talk about:Your grief doesn't define you.The value that support groups provides for those who are grieving. They help normalize people with shared losses who are on the same journey.The ripple effects of an unexpected death.

The time has come for an OG! JILL ZARIN graces us with her presence on THE TAKE ON and this OG RHONY housewife gets down to business! Jill dives into whether or not she’ll come back to Bravo and where her and Bethenny Frankel stand in their tumultuous relationship. I asked Jill if she would ever join a reboot of the Real Housewives of Miami because I know we all miss Jill Zarin so much and we went deep into her opinion of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake! Everyone neeeeeeds to go check out her successful mask business with her daughter Ally and her TikTok, which has helped jumpstart her business. Jill gave us all the details on the start of their business and the new merchandise they are selling! If you’re a housewife fanatic like me this is the episode for you!  More about Jill Zarin: As one of the original cast members of Bravo Television’s Real Housewives of New York, Jill Zarin is no stranger to the spotlight. Zarin, who had a major career in fashion and textiles before being tapped for RHONY, has leveraged her platform into an array of acting, business and philanthropic endeavors.  Entrepreneurial by nature, Zarin is currently juggling design ventures in both home décor and fashion. While her previous licenses included Jill Zarin Bedding and Jill Zarin Jewelry, in 2016 Zarin launched Jill Zarin Rugs, the first product category in the Jill Zarin Home collection. Chic, affordable, stain-resistant and ultra pet-friendly, the rugs, which are sold at Kohl’s and Macys as well as jillzarin.com, bear names like Anguilla, Cape Town and Tribeca and reflect Zarin’s well-traveled, enviable lifestyle. Next up for the Home collection: Jill Zarin Clocks. In the apparel space, Zarin launched Skweez Couture Shapewear and Hosiery. And just this year, she co-launched Jill & Ally. The brand, a collaboration with her daughter Allyson Shapiro, sprang from a handful of tie-dyed face masks Ally created for herself that immediately went viral. After having already established Noshes for Nurses, a highly successful Go Fund Me to raise money to feed essential workers, Zarin and her daughter decided to go all in on the wildly comfy, hand-dyed masks and donate one for every one sold. To date, more than 25,000 masks by Jill & Ally have been donated to healthcare and essential workers. Noshes for Nurses is also still going strong, and has raised $70,000 and distributed 200,000+ meals to the staffs of hospitals, police stations and fire departments. A graduate of Simmons College School of Retail Management, Zarin previously held a number of executive positions in the apparel industry and is an expert in textiles. Beginning her career as an Assistant Buyer for a department store, she steadily worked her way up through the management ranks, becoming National Sales Manager at Jockey Hosiery, an $150 million dollar men’s hosiery brand. Later, after marrying the late Bobby Zarin, she consulted for Zarin Fabrics, a Lower East Side Manhattan institution established in 1936. Zarin currently resides in Boca Raton, Florida, where her home doubles as the global headquarters for Jill & Ally. When she’s not on the phone with factories & overseeing the production of the brand’s growing lineup of products (hint: tie-dye hoodies and sweats are in the works), or hiring employees for the rapidly growing, women-owned and operated company, Zarin can be found on the tennis court or hanging out with family, friends and Bossi, her beloved Pomeranian.

Kate Grondin hosted Home Transition. Kate started Home Transition Resource in 2008 after helping her 83 year old parents pair down their possessions from a home they have lived in for over 60 years. This experience taught Kate that what started out as an overwhelming prospect for her parents actually became an enjoyable experience for them. It is this joy in the process that Kate seeks to find for all of her clients. After successfully completing this downsizing project it became clear that she wanted to dedicate her career to making this transition a positive experience for all older adults. Kate earned a Master of Social Work degree from Simmons College School of Social Work in Boston, and worked as a hospital social worker providing crisis intervention, family support, and discharge planning for in-patients at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital. It’s this background that differentiates Kate and her team from other move managers, as HTR’s philosophy and approach to move management is very client-centered with a sensitivity to advocacy, service coordination, family dynamics and environmental support. Thank you for joining us this past June 12th!  Here's Kate contact info: http://hometransitionresource.com To RSVP or see our future EWS events please visit our website at this link:http://www.lexingtonwealth.com/category/empower-women/ All EWS events are free to all the women and occur every second Tuesday of every month at noon in our offices.
