Silent Storms: Parental Burnout To Breakthrough 49:30

Send us a text In this revealing episode, we go to the heart of a crisis too many parents carry in silence. Dr. Kate Gawlik—Doctor of Nursing Practice, researcher, professor, and mother of four—exposes the quiet toll of parenting—burnout and the loneliness no one talks about. We dig into what the data reveals, how the pandemic reshaped family life, and what it means to juggle the nonstop demands of parenting, work, and school schedules. Kate doesn’t just study this—she’s lived it. And now she’s building real spaces where overwhelmed parents feel seen, heard, and supported. She shares ways to reconnect, reclaim time, and take one simple step that can shift everything. This one’s for every parent holding it together on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. You are not alone. Today's episode is brought to you by the Joan of Arc Scroll Medal, a beautiful brass alloy medal, designed by award-winning artist, Pat Benincasa.

Send us a text What do Bugs Bunny, a book of Italian love poems, and a burned diploma have in common? Me. And Papaco. In this episode, I trace a line from my grandfather’s one-armed resilience to my own battle with shame, dyslexia, and teachers who said, “college isn’t for you.” From Calabria’s poverty to the Welland Canal’s brutal cost, from war-time fear to artistic fire, I unravel a legacy forged through poetry, grit, and stubborn refusal. It starts with a Saturday cartoon. It ends with a quiet declaration: “We came from somewhere.” Joan of Arc Scroll Medal This brass alloy medal can be worn on a necklace, a keychain, dogtags, on a bag, or in your car.

Send us a text Pavement is everywhere—trapping heat, polluting water, and cutting us off from nature. But what if we could tear it up and bring life back to our cities? Enter Depave, a dynamo organization transforming urban spaces by tearing out unnecessary pavement and replacing it with thriving green landscapes. In this episode, Katherine Rose of Depave, reveals why pavement is both an environmental and social justice issue—and how breaking concrete becomes a radical act of change. We explore the legacy of redlining, urban heat islands, and flooding, and how communities are reclaiming their land, one project at a time. Discover the "sponge city" revolution—a smarter way to absorb rain, prevent floods, and cool cities. By replacing pavement with wetlands, green roofs, and bioswales, urban areas can fight climate change and build resilience. From parking lots to parks, from industrial wastelands to lush neighborhoods—Depave proves cities don’t need to be smothered in pavement. They can come alive!

A Dialogue Across Time and Absence 37:41

Send us a text In this moving episode, Aidan Ryan—writer, publisher, and filmmaker discusses his deeply personal book, I Am Here - You Are Not - I Love You . The book unearths the extraordinary yet overlooked lives of Cindy Suffoletto and Andy Topolski , two groundbreaking artists who came out of Buffalo’s raw, experimental 1970s art scene and made their mark in the intense 1980s–90s New York art world. As Aidan retraces their artistic journey, he explores the realities of ambition, sacrifice, and reinvention. Why did Cindy, a fiercely talented artist, step away from her own work for so long? Why did Andy, a visionary artist, not receive the recognition he deserved? How does memory transform loss into rediscovery? And what role does place play in shaping who we are and how we are remembered? With a writer’s sharp insight and a nephew’s deep love, Aidan brings their story back to life—offering a stirring meditation on art, legacy, and the unseen forces that shape creative lives. Don’t miss this powerful conversation about art, history, the influence of place, and the enduring ties that bind us beyond time. (( A special thank you to Mick Cochrane, Canisius University Professor for introducing me to Aidan Ryan—his thoughtful connection made this conversation possible, and I’m truly grateful.))
