    Episode 72: The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP)

    Send us a text Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom! Today, we’re stepping back into the 1940s, to a moment in World War II when the United States desperately needed pilots.  Not just any pilots, but more pilots.  Faster and in larger numbers than ever before. What came next was an unexpected revolution in military aviation. This is the story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots known simply as the WASP, the first women in U.S. history to fly military aircraft.  This is the remarkable story of the Women Airforce Service Pilots.   Stay curious, keep your wings level and may your breakfast be hot and your coffee strong.

    Episode 71: Petticoat Ranger- The Life of Doris Elizabeth Brown Wheeler

    Send us a text Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom. Today’s story is about a woman I stumbled upon in my research about someone else.  I found this woman interesting and deserving of her own episode rather than a highlight in someone else’s.  Here is the back story of how I found Doris.  I found a list of names I made 3 years ago.  My list contained the names and links to the 11 confirmed murders the Barrow Gang committed.  Bonnie and Clyde were credited with killing many more people than they should have.   I will tell you the story of a young widow who carried her husband’s gun, wore his badge, and changed what it meant to be a Texas Ranger. Her name… was Doris Elizabeth Brown Wheeler. Doris was believed to be the last surviving widow of the infamous bank robbers' victims. Thanks for joining us at our breakfast table.  Please leave us a rating and review any where you listen to our little show, it really helps us to reach new ears.

    Send us a text Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom! In honor of Halloween, we will dive into the eerie life — or rather, afterlife — of one of the most infamous figures in American folklore: The Headless Horseman.  The Headless Horseman — a figure that has galloped through the imaginations of generations — is best known from Washington Irving’s classic story, “The Legend of Sleepy Hollow.” But who was he? And where did this terrifying apparition come from?

    Episode 67: Miep Gies- A woman who just wanted to do the right thing

    Send us a text Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom! Today we’re focusing on a woman whose quiet courage changed the course of history — Miep Gies. You might know her as the woman who helped hide Anne Frank and her family during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands. But Miep’s life story is much richer than that moment alone. It’s a story of compassion, bravery, and moral conviction in a time when silence could mean complicity, and speaking out could cost you everything.

    Episode 66: Jennie Wade- Civilian Casualty of the Battle of Gettysburg

    Send us a text Hello and welcome back to Breakfast with Mom! Today, we travel back to the blood-soaked fields of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania — July, 1863. The Civil War is raging. Muskets crack. Cannons thunder. And amid the chaos, a 20-year-old woman kneads bread dough in her sister’s kitchen. Her name is Jennie Wade, she will become the only direct civilian casualty of the Battle of Gettysburg. Jennie Wade wasn’t a soldier. She wasn’t a spy. She wasn’t part of any grand political plot. She was a daughter, a sister, and a seamstress— born May 21, 1843, right in the town that would soon become infamous.
