Grief can be crippling both mentally and physically. It is one of the most complicated of human conditions, and often difficult to recover from. Today, we speak with someone who has been through it and writes to help others process their grief and get to the other side of living again. Please welcome Larry Freeborg, author of "Always At Choice," which helps people to realize they have the choice to move forward even from the most crippling grief. The book is rooted in Larry's personal experience when he simultaneously lost his wife to leukemia and his 18-year career due to an economic downturn. He was left to raise four children on his own and find work, too, all while grieving. It took some time, but Larry found his way back. In this book, Larry talks about how to reinvent yourself at any age, even if you feel stuck, and he offers practical strategies on how to do it. Please join our show today, and share with a friend, because we all experience grief at some time, and it's good to know we're not alone and important to share how to get through it. Please join my full conversation with Larry Freeborg on all video and audio platforms of #DeborahKobyltLIVE. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

There was a time when there were very few female comics, but that's changed due in large part to the brave women who had the courage to stand up and speak their mind on stage. One of those women was Judy Tenuta, considered one of the most unique and trailblazing comedians of a generation, cutting through the male-dominated profession with her sharp wit and style. And because of her, many women were subsequently able to break into comedy. Judy gained national recognition in 1987 after starring in the HBO special, Women of the Night, opposite Ellen DeGeneres and Rita Rudner. After that, she never looked back.

Judy passed away in 2022 from ovarian cancer, but she left behind a legacy and rich story to tell. Her life and career are the subject of an award-winning short titled, "It Happened: The Judy Tenuta Story," starring Taylor Blackwell, who wore many of Judy's costumes in the film. This is a story about breaking through barriers and not giving up, and believing in yourself even with others don't. Today, we welcome to our show Brent Mata, director and producer of "It Happened," who
speaks about the importance of telling Judy's life story with purpose and authenticity.

If you find yourself feeling exhausted and burned out, you're not alone. And you'll want to tune into our show to find out how to find your way back to feeling okay again.

Please welcome Tracy Doyle, a successful entrepreneur with a multi-million dollar company who simply couldn't do it any longer. She was exhausted, not processing daily tasks clearly, and she hit rock bottom. But she found her way again, and wrote about it, "Life Storms: Finding Your Clear Sky," a proven self-help guide designed primarily for women who seem put together on the outside but are struggling on the inside. And that was Tracy. In fact, she nearly drove herself off a cliff.

She created the Aurora Method, which are eight mindful practices designed to break negative cycles, regulate emotions, and restore connection with yourself and others in your life. She talks about what drove her to write this, and she believes early unresolved trauma and overwork caused her to mentally snap. Her goal - to help everyone else out there struggling mentally to find their way back to balance and clarity.
