Ep. 1: Stressed Moms and Ep. 2: Dying Peacefully
Kathryn interviews childhood and family expert Sheryl Ziegler PhD, author of “Mommy Burnout: How to Reclaim Your Life and Raise Healthier Children in the Process”. Dr. Ziegler is identifying mommy burnout as a true epidemic, one that’s jeopardizing the emotional and physical health of women today. She is a regular local FOX News contributor, a panelist on NBC Morning News, and is featured on The Katie Couric Show and The Denver Post. Kathryn also interviews Samuel Harrington MD, author of “At Peace: Choosing a Good Death After a Long Life”. Most people say they would like to die quietly at home. But overly aggressive medical advice coupled with an unrealistic sense of invincibility results in many elderly patients misguidedly dying in institutions while undergoing painful procedures. Through experience with his own parents and patients Dr. Harrington has developed specific steps to ensure last days pass comfortably at home or in hospice, when further aggressive care is inappropriate.
