I have three wonderful productive and kind young adult kids and raised them amidst a very contentious divorce where I got sole custody "pro se". I am not an attorney. I love being a dad I have over 30 years of experience in the technical staffing space as an owner/operator. I have generated over $75 million in revenue and have created 4 millionaires that I am aware of.  I built and sold 2 multimillion-dollar companies and have hired and trained hundreds of salespeople and recruiters. I found work for all three of my young adult children out of school and then helped them all start their own companies online.  I got sole custody of my 3 children representing myself in my divorce (I am not an attorney).  More recently I have transitioned into coaching in the career transition field. I am transparent about my wins and losses and all the struggles in between.  FIND HIM HERE: https://www.7pillarsglobal.com/about-me  https://www.7pillarsglobal.com  https://www.linkedin.com/in/aylwardmark/  https://www.quo

Over 44 years as a pediatrician, I have developed a keen awareness of parenting skills, raising our children to be good citizens, how to improve our communities, and advocating for children.  My books, MY CHILDREN'S CHILDREN: RAISING YOUNG CITIZENS IN THE AGE OF COLUMBINE,  ALL ABOUT CHILDREN (illustrated children's book),  THINKING DEVELOPMENTALLY: NURTURING WELLNESS IN CHILDHOOD TO PROMOTE LIFELONG HEALTH, and  CONSCIOUS PARENTING: USING THE PARENTAL AWARENESS THRESHOLD, provide an array of fertile material for a variety of discussions about parenting and the like.  Pediatrician and medical geneticist, Robert A Saul, MD, has been guiding parents and their children’s physical, behavioral, and mental care for over 40 years. He is Professor of Pediatrics (Emeritus). Dr. Bob Saul developed the Parental Awareness Threshold, a simple framework that guides parents and guardians to actively parent with self-awareness, empathy, and compassion. Parents who use this framework create a healthy environment where

Bronwyn is a psychotherapist, public speaker, podcaster, and parenting expert.    She went from not wanting kids to believing in an idealized parenting relationship that (of course) didn’t go to plan. At age 5 she emotionally abandoned her daughter, due to a 10-year bout with depression although she was going through the process of becoming a therapist. Her daughter is now an adult and they’re continuing to learn to have a positive relationship.  Angry at the Right Things podcast:  https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-3xcf8-13b6aff Anger, like fire, can burn down a house if out of control. Suppressed anger makes us sick – and it leaks out in ways that hurt the people who least deserve it. But fire can also purify and refine. Join licensed marriage and family therapist Bronwyn Schweigardt in a conversation about healthy ways to harness our anger for good. Let’s be angry at the right things. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message

28 years ago our first daughter was born. Gwendolyn has Down syndrome and has taken us on a wonderful journey. We struggled at times and now celebrate her independence journey which has culminated in continuing education beyond high school, work, independent housing, and self-advocacy. Most parents find independence for those with Down syndrome and other intellectual disabilities to be an overwhelming mystery.  My website (www.BeyondDownSyndrome.net) and book 'The Essential Guide for Families with Down Syndrome' provide guidance and resources so families can navigate the opportunities and challenges toward success.  This generation is the first that will outlive their parents/caregivers. This invites great opportunities and many challenges including health, financial, and housing. Regardless of your child's age, the time is now to build an independence plan to achieve your family's goals.  After 30 years in corporate America, I'm now an author seeking to share experience and guidance to se

I have two amazing girls at home, ages 18 months and 5. I grew up in a family that did foster care and childcare for much of my life, including the adoption of my littlest sister, who I helped raise while my father was away on military assignments.  The experience of being surrounded by small children made me realize that the most important job I could ever have would be to help guide a young life as they developed and grew. Moreover, I had a responsibility to make the world a better place for them than it was for me and to help them have a better life than I had been accorded.  I also work in the alcoholic beverage industry. My job is extremely demanding (60-hour weeks are the norm), necessitating a balance between my time with my family and what my company needs. It also means that my daughters have been raised around bars and breweries, something that would be anathema to my extended family that believes alcohol is the root cause of society's ills. It's been a challenge, but also one that I hope wi

Author Mandy Lemond is a former foster child turned Emmy Award-winning TV Producer.  At just 7 years old Lemond‘s father raped her and left her for dead, that same night, he murdered little Mandy's mother. Lemond's father's crime left the Kentucky native a true orphan.  Mandy aged out of foster care after spending more than 11 years in a group home. She recalls, “I went to college with $5 to my name." With the same tenacity Lemond used to overcome her childhood trauma, she graduated on time from Eastern Kentucky University and was immediately hired by the local NBC affiliate as a TV Reporter.  Lemond continued to beat the odds – statistically only 3% of foster youth have a college degree.  Mandy's life finally seemed perfect, until December 2020, when Lemond's foster-adopted son, high on drugs, shot into the wrong home. The unintended target nearly died, the gunfire blinding the then 5-year-old. Lemond’s nearly 20-year marriage crumbled. She found herself divorced, with a son in jail,

I personally missed motherhood which is why, as a Motherhood Story Coach, I am creating a movement of conversation, education, and empowerment for women who are still on their way to motherhood. The status quo silence of our culture contributes to a mindset that we are just supposed to know how to become and be moms and that we have to do it alone. I consider this a mindset "virus" that stays with us at every stage of motherhood and feeds shame.  When I talk with moms, I inevitably hear, "I wish I had had something like this when I was younger." I see your listeners as mothers of the younger generation who are desperately grasping to create their own motherhood lore and find models they can look to. - There is very little dialogue about the journey TO motherhood until we have issues - the downstream effect - The silence around this part of the journey leaves us feeling alone - Let's shed the "one size fits all" mentality when it comes to our bodies and fertility - Educating o
