    35|From Foster Care to Entrepreneur to CASA Advocacy with Ronregus Underwood

    Can you imagine growing up in the foster care system in Alabama to now being known as a published fashion icon, branding strategist, speaker/host and foster care advocate?  My guest, Mr. U as he is known by, has been using his personal stories to uplift others.  One of the phrases he uses, is from "pain to purpose."  He knows what it is like to carry pain from his past that he did not choose.  He knows what it means to stop running and to face the trauma and to allow God to turn those wounds into purpose. As he works as an advocate for the CASA organization in Texas, he shares his lived experiences to help adults working in the foster care system to better understand and support the youth.  Mr. U through his love of fashion, being discovered by a talent agency at age 15, now uses his gifts and talents through sponsoring and hosting fashion shows.  On November 7, 2026 he will be partnering with Sharonica Evans.  This collaboration will benefit cancer awareness and anti-bullying causes through her Faith to Fight nonprofit and Be Kind Squad.  Please listen in to this brave man's story and perhaps gain some insight as to what you can do to use pain and turn it into your purpose too!

    34|Not Ready for Retirement with Cis Ahearn

    If you are not ready to retire, you are not alone!  Cis Ahearn started her YouTube channel, "Let's Talk About It" at age 70 creating over 200 videos.  Before that she was a traveling nurse going around the country. She wrote a blog which turned into a book about her companion cat in the "Adventures of Sweet Pea!" A feisty feline who had developed her own narrative travelled in the van, litter box and all.  Cis was one of the 37 co-authors, along with myself in the book, Ageless Voices. She talks about her 2 personal stories.  One was about a 25 year old friendship that had ended and I think many of us can relate to that. The second story centered around a plane crash she was in at age 13.  I can only imagine the horror of that.  Cis, however had no recollection of it until she wrote about it for a writing assignment at age 40.  The more she wrote, the more she remembered.  If you have suffered a traumatic experience, it is amazing how the brain can protect us from it until we are ready to face it.  I can attest to that. Cis was active in her nursing career during Covid and she touches on her experiences during that time, especially with those who fought against the protocols.  She is still a part time nurse advocating for women. Currently Cis has several publications in her platform the Stan Store, many of which came from her YouTube videos.  She has free downloads, videos, nursing and patient resources, practical tools and opportunities to work with her.  These are all designed to help us make informed choices, navigate change and create an individualized life that works.  Cis says that we are still the women we were before life got in the way.  You are just wondering how to bring her out.

    32|Patty Corrigan Myers on a Double Mission for Her Autistic Son and Beloved Husband's Covid Death, Part 1

    This episode is a tough one.  My guest Patty Corrigan Myers is a woman who will not give up! Her journey started with her son being diagnosed with autism.  From that, she became the founder of Building Pathways Foundation which provides support programs for people with autism including independence skills training, housing and social classes. She wrote a book, Autism is a Blessing.  Patty strongly believes that her work, was only the beginning of the training she would need to face, with her family years later. As Patty tells her heart wrenching story of her beloved husband, Tony going to the hospital, what happened there and up to his untimely passing, she is stoic and determined.  Patty also shares her inside joke about elephants that she and her husband shared throughout the years that brought strength, some humor and the creation of the elephant coin.  The hospital protocols this family and thousands of others endured during that time is finally being brought to light.  Patty and hundreds of others will be in Washington, DC on September 28, 2026 as part of Senator Ron Johnson's Round Table. At this hearing focused on hospital protocols, families, nurses and doctors will share their experiences.  Patty is a voice and a power to be reckoned with as she focuses on, not only her husband's story but the countless other voices who cannot speak for themselves.  Patty created a 3 part documentary series with the funeral assisted money she received for covid deaths. I had no idea that this money existed.  That tells us all something right there. The documentary not only tells about her experience but also the loss of life in other families.  To watch Patty's documentary Making a Killing  https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=making%20a%20killing To find Patty https://www.facebook.com/autismblessings   To contact Laurie Hardie on how you can become a podcaster using her PodCrafter program, go to Lacoach@comcast.net  To find out more about the Lifewave Phototherapy Stem Cell Regeneration Patch for overall wellness, to get your Free PDF Health Tracker and a 30 minute conversation with me, text the word INFO and your email address to 469-583-1105.  No Hype, No Pitch, just a conversation to get some answers to your questions.    joellynw.martin@gmail.com FB, Insta, LinkedIn@JoellynWMartin https://lifewave.com/joellynmartin https://www.tranont.com/joellynwmartin https://linktr.ee/JoellynEyeforDesign "Live Your Life Ambitiously Now and Your Future Self Will Thank You" "Strength in My Spine, Love in My Legacy, Ageless Attitude, No Nonsense"

    28|Nana with Grandson Jack and Upcoming Transition to College

    It is the time of year when school begins, and some start a new journey going off to college. My conversation is with my 18 year old grandson Jack discussing his mindset and preparation for college.  I approached Jack with the idea of coming on the podcast and he was eager to do this me. Over the years, Jack was been very agreeable to most of his Nana's ideas but he could have said no.  I believe that a Baby Boomer and a Gen Z can have thoughtful and meaningful conversations. Excitement mixed in with some thoughts of uncertainty also includes Jack's parents and brother.  Jack is the oldest having one younger brother so it is a new experience for the whole family. The first one leaves the nest.  I feel that Jack is better prepared than some others might be because he has spent the last 4 years on his high school debate team. He learned his craft, gained experience and maturity, built friendships and increased his knowledge while being away from home several times for debate tournaments and summer camps. Jack played baseball for several years and he was ready for a change.  When his mother suggested trying debate, he was not crazy about the idea  but it turned out to be a great decision.  Jack was the first one from his high school to be selected to represent his school in the Nationals, which I learned was a very big deal but Jack has always been very modest.  This is where I can brag on him!  Over the years he brought home lots of trophies and medals but he was most proud of receiving 1st Place in the UIL State Championship and being a National Finalist. As Jack prepared for his out of state journey with his parents, I wanted to spend a little extra time with him.  We both enjoyed doing this podcast.  I think my listeners will agree that Jack is an exceptional young man, well spoken and can answer questions off the top of his head with no prior preparation. Jack wanted those going off to college to know the importance of maintaining a positive mindset when facing challenges. To view future opportunities with excitement rather than fear, can create an overall good first college experience.  This Nana is proud of Jack's wisdom and his heart for others.  Perhaps this conversation can move on to future discussions.  Who knows, maybe the Nana and Jack Show?   To contact Laurie Hardie on how you can become a podcaster using her PodCrafter program, go to Lacoach@comcast.net  To find out more about the Lifewave Phototherapy Stem Cell Regeneration Patch for overall wellness, to get your Free PDF Health Tracker and a 30 minute conversation with me, text the word INFO and your email address to 469-583-1105.  No Hype, No Pitch, just a conversation to get some answers to your questions.    "Live Your Life Ambitiously Now and Your Future Life Will Thank You" "Strength in My Spine, Love in My Legacy, Ageless Attitude, No Nonsense" joellynw.martin@gmail.com FB, Insta, LinkedIn@JoellynWMartin https://lifewave.com/joellynmartin https://linktr.ee/JoellynEyeforDesign
