Third Chances

I've selected segments of some of the best episodes from the past 2 years – as people go on summer vacations, enjoying some travel and scheduling guests gets more complicated. I went back to pretty special, hard-to-believe moments of what’s possible.

All of these guests (except one) were medical professionals. When we get scary diagnoses, it’s heartbreaking. When it happens to a doctor or nurse .... During these times, who doesn't love some GOOD news? Heartwarming stories that seemed impossible but beat the expectations.

These are cuts of some best moments – if you want to listen to the w...

This episode was an eye-opening into a world I know very little about – the world of emotional eating. Something nobody is ever proud of, wants...

After serving in the military for 15 years, Mary Stanley found that reentering civilian life and processing what she had seen during rescue missions (including. 9/11) wasn't easy.

While getting help and therapy for herself,  she got curious about the help her two kids with special needs were getting. She found what was missing in the programs for autistic children. Instead of complaining about it, she took on another challenge to educate herself and find everything there is to be able to help fill the need.

Today, Mary uses her personal experience in her own business and no...
