On this episode, Lisa and I interview Frank King!
A Suicide Prevention and Post-vention Public Speaker and Trainer, Frank was a writer for The Tonight Show for 20 years, is a Corporate Comedian, syndicated humor columnist, and podcast personality, who was featured on CNN's Business Unusual.

Depression and suicide run his family. He's thought about killing himself more times than he can count. He's fought a lifetime battle with depression, and thoughts of ending his life, turning that long dark journey of the soul into a TED Talk, "A Matter of Laugh or Death," www.FrankTEDTalk.com and sharing his lifesaving insights on Mental and Emotional Health Awareness, with corporation, association, youth (middle school and high school), and college audiences www.TheSuicidePreventionSpeaker.com

As an Inspirational and Motivational Public Speaker and Trainer he uses the life lessons from the above, as well as lessons learned as a rather active consumer of healthcare, both mental and physical, to start the conversation giving people who battle Mental and Emotional Illness permission to give voice to their feelings and experiences surrounding depression and suicide, and to create a common pool of knowledge in which those who suffer, and those who care about them, can swim.

And doing it by coming out, as it were, and standing in his truth, and doing it with humor. He believes that where there is humor there is hope, where there is laughter there is life, nobody dies laughing.

He is currently promoting his new book on men's mental fitness, Guts, Grit, and the Grind, with two coauthors. He lives in Eugene, OR and speaks around the US, and all over the world.

Join me and my hubby, Steve, as we discuss his project converting his old 1970s organ into a MIDI interfaced instrument. Steve has a PhD in biology and is a high school physics teacher. In other words, he's a fucking genius! How did I get so lucky??? The man can do just about anything he puts his mind to. It's a fun and interesting conversation for anyone, but especially all you organ and piano players. Enjoy!

Our friend, the physician and mommy to two beautiful daughters, Dr. Liz Cho drops by to talk about the past two years of COVID madness, takes some questions, and chats about our favorite show, The Crown.

Liz is not only a front-line worker and hero to us all, she is also the proud mommy of two beautiful daughters. We’ll also talk about the craziness of parenting, working, and all to boo-boos that our kids get and what to do about them.

Liz was born in Seoul, Korea and moved to the U.S. when she was five years old.

Her family settled in Long Island, NY which was a huge culture shock for her and her family. Liz stayed there until she moved to Boston to attend undergraduate school at Tufts University.

She wanted to move back to New York so she went to medical school at Mount Sinai School of Medicine. She ended up staying there for her residency in emergency medicine which she completed in 2011.

Liz chose emergency medicine as a career because she loves being able to care for patients when they need care urgently. Being an emergency physician means she never gets bored at work. She says that It’s definitely not the easiest job in the world, but it can be incredibly rewarding.

In her spare time, she enjoys spending time with her family. She says, “watching my children grow up before my eyes is probably one of the most rewarding experiences I have ever had. I also love watching Korean dramas, and I am currently learning how to play the violin.”

In this episode, we talk to my friend Lisa Pedersen. Lisa is working on her book, Acts of Contrition (under her pen name L. Donovan), that she plans to publish by next year. We also talk about everything that's currently going on in our lives and giggle like teenagers. Join us for the fun!
