    Title: S4EP10, A New Way to Process Trauma with Stephen Quandt Summary: Wow! This interview blew my mind. Stephen's story is rich, eye-opening, and filled my soul. Starting out as a theatrical lighting designer, Stephen started working with animal welfare, particularly with cats. His journey led him to the site of the Joplin tornado, taking care of abandoned animals. Stephen had a life-changing experience with a cat he named Petunia and was never the same. He learned how to alleviate the suffering and trauma of animals and eventually started working full time in animal welfare. Stephen got his certification in cat behavior and now speaks and travels to different locations, sharing what he has learned. Our conversation was eye opening for both of us. BIO Stephen is the founder of Stephen Quandt Feline Behavior Associates, LLC, and is a Feline Training and Behavior Specialist certified through the Animal Behavior Institute and a recent author with the publication of his first children’s book, HAPPY COMES HOME available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble. He is a professional feline behavior specialist with over 20 years of experience working with cats in private consultations, animal shelters and in the field. A background of nationwide rescue work with the ASPCA greatly enriched his empathy with communities of cat lovers in need of help. In 2019 he participated in a spay/neuter and research campaign to assist the animals that live in the exclusion zone around the Chernobyl nuclear plant, many of whom have descended from the pets left behind after the accident in 1986. His current work with the Animal Care Centers of NYC advances that compassionate connection.

    Title: S4EP9, You Can't Mess This Up with Amy Weinland Daughters Summary: "This is ridiculous," Amy told herself, but she did it anyway. She wrote handwritten letters to her "friends" on Facebook, never knowing how this simple act would change so many lives. Amy went with her gut, never stopping until she reached the end. "Dear Dana," her second book, tells this heart-warming story of her relationship with Dana, someone she hadn't seen in 30 years. Seeing the impact of a handwritten letter, Amy then goes on to write to her other Facebook friends. Her first book, "You Can't Mess This Up", is also a fascinating study in human nature. Amy goes back to visit her family, including her 10-year-old self, as it was in 1978. What Amy learns in this fictional time-travelling memoir could change your life. Our conversation was fun, insightful, and real. Join us in discussing Amy's books, her unbelievable connections, and how to follow your gut, despite what your thinking is telling you. Thank you, Amy, for the difference you are making in so many lives. BIO A native Houstonian and a graduate of The Texas Tech University, Amy W. Daughters has been a freelance writer for more than a decade — mostly covering college football and sometimes talking about her feelings. Her debut novel, You Cannot Mess This Up: A True Story That Never Happened (She Writes Press, 2019), was selected as the Silver Winner for Humor in the 2019 Foreword INDIES and the Overall Winner for Humor/Comedy in the 2020 Next Generation Indie Awards. An amateur historian, hack golfer, charlatan fashion model, and regular on the ribbon dancing circuit, Amy — a proud former resident of Blackwell, England, and Dayton, Ohio currently lives in Tomball, Texas, a suburb of Houston. She is married to a foxy computer person, Willie, and is the lucky mother of two amazing sons, Will and Matthew.

    Title: S4EP8, Laughter is a Tool of Healing with Jane Marla Robbins Summary: Myasthenia Gravis is a pretty serious disease. Jane Marla Robbins should know. She was diagnosed with it in 2021. Her doctors didn't really know how to treat her. She had blurry vision, couldn't chew, and other nasty symptoms. What would you do if you were diagnosed with this "Snowflake" disease? (That means no two cases are alike). Would you write a funny musical about your time in the hospital? Of course. And that's just what Jane did. It's her 6th book. Jane has had an amazing career acting, dancing, performing her own one woman shows, and making people laugh. We discuss how the isolation of COVID suppressed her immune system and how laughter helped her heal. What a wonderful conversation. Thank you, Jane for your amazing spirit and laughter. BIO Jane's latest book is Myasthenia Gravis: The Musical. Unfortunately her social media following is quite small as she doesn't utilize those platforms. Jane Marla Robbins’ acting and coaching career spanned over 50 years and includes film, Broadway, and writing credits. She appeared in three Rocky films, and her one-woman play commissioned for the Kennedy Center was also performed at Lincoln Center. Diagnosed with Myasthenia Gravis (MG) less than five years ago, she tuned into her creative writing background to publish her sixth book, Myasthenia Gravis: The Musical, My Medical, Hysterical, Poetical, Comical, 25-Month Memoir, which joins her best-selling Dogs in Topanga, Poems of the Laughing Buddha, and Café Mimosa in Topanga.

    Title: S7EP7, Life of a Divorced Kid, Balancing Two Different Worlds with Anthony J Mohr Summary: Tony's father was a gregarious, radio and tv star. Tony listened to his voice on the radio at night as he went to sleep. As he got older, he got to know his father better. When his parents divorced, his world shattered. Where was Dad and why was Mom unhappy? Tony's advice to parents who are divorcing. Get your kids into therapy. They may seem fine on the outside, but on the inside they could be confused, sad, angry, or afraid. Tony luckily had an actor/teacher who understood what he was going through and took him under his wing. When Tony's parents both remarried, he learned to balance between the two different households. Which was right, better or more desirable? Read Tony's book, "Every Other Weekend," to learn more about Beverly Hills in the 50's and 60's, life in Old Hollywood, and how Tony navigated between successful Stan and Gregarious Gerald. Bio: Author and retired judge Anthony Mohr knew his childhood and adolescence were different from most other kids his age. In Every Other Weekend: Coming of Age with Two Different Dads (Koehler Books), Anthony Mohr offers a poignant and compassionate portrait of two larger-than-life men – his actor father Gerald Mohr and inventor stepfather Stanley Dashew – and what it was like growing up in a blended family at a time when divorce was rare and considered shocking. He would make a great guest on Getting Real With Hilary. Mohr's days were littered with celebrities and parties; living abroad for film and TV shoots; even appearances in TV episodes, all courtesy of his radio and screen actor father Gerald Mohr. After Gerald Mohr leaves his family for another woman, his mother later marries businessman Stanley Dashew. Delivering a unique perspective on growing up in Beverly Hills in the 1950s and 60s, Anthony tracks his stepfather’s career successes and his biological father’s failures as he tries to find his place in the world. One weekend he’s sailing on his stepfather’s fifty-eight-foot catamaran; the next, his Swedish stepmother tells him that they’re poor. Every Other Weekend sees Anthony finding his place at the edge of what others regard as a dream world, a place where reality and fantasy blend, maps lead to the homes of the stars, and obstacles abound.

    Title: S4EP5, Kidnapped by his father at 3, then orphaned, and yet, STILL MAKING A DIFFERENCE with Ed Hajim Summary: I could not put down either of Ed Hajim's books, "On the Road Less Traveled," and "the Island of the Four P's." Ed's story can not be put into words and yet, Ed did. His father kidnapped him, told him his mother was dead, and then left him with neighbors. He was in the foster care system, orphanages, and left alone for a month at the age of 11. Here's the amazing part. Ed did not get bitter. He used his experiences to develop resilience and adaptability which served him for the rest of his life. That together with his "absent" father's unconditional love and positive reinforcement kept him headed towards success. Ed had a dream to be successful, create a loving family and help people be better than they think they can be. His career will impress and astound you. His generosity will inspire you. I believe we can all learn from Ed's story and wisdom. He is now helping 17 to 25 year olds learn how to make decisions and design their lives with his new course. Thank you, Ed, for the amazing person you are and please thank Barbara for chasing after you and being your P1 for life. BIO ED HAJIM is the author of the critically acclaimed memoir, On The Road Less Traveled. The son of a Syrian immigrant, he is a seasoned Wall Street executive with more than 50 years of investment experience. In 2008, after 20 years as a trustee of the University of Rochester, Hajim began an eight-year tenure as chairman of the university’s board. Upon assuming that office he gave the school $30 million—the largest single donation in its history—to support scholarships and endow the Edmund A. Hajim School of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Through the Hajim Family Foundation, he has made generous donations to organizations that promote education, health care, arts, culture, and conservation. In 2015, he received the Horatio Alger Award.

    Title: S4EP4, Parents STOP AND LISTEN, This is the new MADD with Margot Denomme Summary: Margot Denomme quit her job as a Crown Attorney (District Attorney in the US), to educate and create awareness about how low self-esteem and social media can harm children, leading to mental health struggles, bullying and legal issues. She compares her efforts to Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) and how they have changed the culture about drunk driving. Her first two books, "Mommy Am I Pretty" and "Awesome Inside and Out" address how our children see themselves. Comparing themselves to what they see on social media has led to a new generation with anxiety, depression and a new mental health crisis. Margot is passionate about turning around this crisis. Her journey began in 2013 with the Celebrate You tour where she visited over 150 schools in Canada and the US, addressing the dangers of social media and promoting self-worth.

Her website: www.raadd.ca stands for raising awareness about digital dangers. Please tune in to this possibly life changing interview that can educate parents, children, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends to possible predators and dangers of social media. This is not to create fear, but rather to educate and grow awareness. Margot's work with Kikori, an experiential social emotional learning platform, is taking her work into schools. Contact Margot for speaking engagements and to buy her books at her web site or at info@raadd.ca BIO: Margot Denommé, JD, Lawyer, Author, Speaker Margot Denommé is the Founder of Raising Awareness About Digital Dangers (raadd.). With 26 years of experience as a Crown Attorney, Margot, now retired, has seen first-hand how low self-esteem and social media can harm children, leading to mental health issues, bullying, and legal troubles.

    Title: S4EP3, Reinventing Themselves at 60 and 93, An Amazing Mother and Daughter Conversation with Amy Goober and Gwen Borden Summary: Amy Goober and Gwen Borden wrote a book together. Why is that interesting? Because Gwen is Amy’s mother. Amy was always quoting her mother and decided to let the world benefit from her wisdom. Their book is called, "My Mother Always Says," 25 lessons for Finding the Silver Lining. It's a great gift for Mother's Day for mothers, daughters, sisters and friends. Gwen Borden tells her amazing story about living through the blackout in World War II, alone in her dark house at 10 years old. She learned to pretend, had confidence, and told herself, "I'll be ok." This attitude has served her well. When she became a young widow at 44, she reinvented herself and started a bereavement center. At 93, she is still going strong and thinking of her next career. Amy Goober, Gwen's daughter, has used her mother’s strength, fortitude and wisdom in her own life and with her coaching clients. . Amy also re-invented herself many times and now runs Travel for Women, writes books, and creates connections for women. She borrowed her mother’s strong will and made sure their book got published. Her work, trips, and groups can be found at www.amygoober.com Thank you both for your wisdom, courage, and for being great examples for women. #hilaryburns #gettingrealwithhilary #AmyGoober #GwenBorden #realtalk #getreal #getfree #inspiration #thegettingrealwithhilaryshow #Mymotheralwaysays #amygoober #gwenborden #mothers #daughters #womenstravel #communities #911 #bereavement #bereavementcenters #bettertogether #reinventyourself #resiliency #thegettingrealwithhilaryshow #kikoriapp.com #norfolkva #polio #heroine #pretend
