Ep. 1272: Gray Divorce (Encore) and Ep. 1273: Disability Rights
Kathryn interviews Carol Hughes PhD, author of “Home Will Never Be the Same Again: A Guide for Adult Children of Gray Divorce.” As the divorce rate for older adults soars, so too does the number of adult children who are experiencing parental divorce. Hughes shares her deep understanding gained during the hours she’s spent with these women and men in her clinical practice. She served for ten years as an Associate Professor of Human Services at Saddleback College. Kathryn also interviews Annette Bay Pimentel, author of “All the Way to the Top: How One Girl's Fight for Americans with Disabilities Changed Everything.” As a young girl in the early 80s, Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, diagnosed with cerebral palsy two years after she was born, realized that she wasn’t treated equally compared to her able-bodied peers and friends. Winner of the Carter G Woodson Award, Pimentel’s new picture book chronicles the life of Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins and her determination to fight for disability rights.
