This podcast is about being diagnosed with ADHD at the age of 69 and my journey to living a life that is less chaotic and more peaceful. Below are two books that I recommend. The authors not only wrote the books but also have ADHD as well .. They have firsthand experience dealing with the symptoms.

This podcast is a culmination of Christmas Memories that I have had growing up near my hometown near the city of Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh was a great area to grow up in and I have a lot of fond memories of my home and going into the city. I hope you enjoy this little holiday trip down memory lane.

A coworker talks about her marriage and how the breach of trust changed how she goes into relationships now. How she only gives so much and how her heart is not whole anymore. She is very honest in looking back and seeing her part in the healthiness of the marriage. The message here is really for both women and men because they both experience broken trust in relationships. There are some things that men do not experience especially when it comes to the number of partners they may have. Women are generally held to a different standard in that area and are met with derogatory labels if they have several partners.

This episode is about how women are taught how to be socially acceptable by society and how the rights of women developed over time. We as women have to take charge of our destiny to keep moving forward.

The artwork for this episode was chosen as a representation of the difficult climb for women to get basic rights in this country. Filled with obstacles and boulders to climb over.

This trip is about a journey that I took alone to the lake to help me find serenity and start the healing process after ending a toxic relationship. Everyone has a place that they go to find that peace. Being in nature is mine. I took a five day trip to the lake and this podcast is about that journey.
