About this listen

HI There - first off, Please sort episodes from OLDEST TO NEWEST (so you will go from Top to Bottom ... that's what she said! Wait... What???) Okay ... back to business!

If you have come across this Podcast, you are here for a reason. I ask that you please listen as I deliver this message of H.O.P.E. to you - Hang. On. Pain. Ends. I invite you to take this Journey with me, as I share my life stories of Mental Illness, Grief, Laughter, and Much More. This podcast is more like Journal Entries than a traditional "podcast." Some of the episodes will be shorter .. and others will be longer. But no matter what....the most important thing is you hearing the words that I put behind every entry ... which is, Please have HOPE and Stay One More Day ...

This world is a better Place with YOU in it. Hang. On. Pain. Ends.

  • Are you OK?

    Are you OK?
    Jan 27 2026

    This one starts with me feeling pretty aggravated and a bit defeated. But by the end, I am in a much better place ... so I am happy I recorded when I did ... I just needed to talk it through. I hope this one helps for those out there that ARE OK ... but you are feeling like others don't believe you. It is also for the ones that are WORRIED that someone is NOT OK... ask them once, if they tell you they are, and their actions do not show otherwise, please just be happy for the version of themselves that deep down you knew they were always meant to be.

  • Hanson Changed my Life....Twice.

    Hanson Changed my Life....Twice.
    Jan 27 2026

    "You you have so many relationships in this life, only one or two will last. You go through all the pain and strife, then you turn your back and they're gone so fast." - MmmBop - Hanson.

    Whether you like boy bands or not, I invite you to listen to this episode that talks about stopping and remembering what it is that you LOVE, and making sure you make time for that in your life.

    So this HANSON episode one is another dedicated to you Dad, who woke up at 4am many years ago, taking me, my sister, cousins, and friends to see Hanson at Arthur Ashe Stadium in QUEENS, New York ... and never complained! In fact he was leading the charge!

    I love you Dad ... and will ALWAYS and forever be a Hanson Fan!

    Shoveling Snow Sucks.
    Jan 27 2026

    This one starts with the frustrations of shoveling snow for the first time in my life .... and then ends up talking about Celine Dion, Divorce, Self-Harm, the movie Ghost, and how I feel like Whoopie Goldberg talking to My Dad in Heaven! And of course, at the ending off with the message we all should know by now.... please keep holding onto that H.O.P.E - Hang On Pain Ends.
