The Master & Mr Grayson

Hi Everyone! We have another published individual on the show! Please allow me to introduce you to Marissa! Marissa is the mom of 3 who's son has been diagnosed with Autism. She wears so many hats, but the most recent one is that of author. We talk about what drove her to write "Unique, You See" (and how quickly she got it to print)! Yes, you'll feel like an underachiever, but she is worth the listen! Such great energy. 

Hi Everyone! I am very excited to introduce you to Jon! Jon is a Brooklynite who spends a good portion of his life honing the artistic talents of those in the special need community. He works in conjunction with the AHRC NYC and helps our little ones to find joy in creating art. Maybe there's an artist living amongst you? Find out by listening to Jon today!

Hi Everyone! Very cool, new age episode of The Master & Me coming at you this week. Theresa Lear Levine joins me to talk through her journey as an adult managing ADHD. When I asked about her "diagnosis" she said it was her super power and I love that for all of us! Theresa is the mom of four boys living in Maryland, who talks to us about the practice of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) which yours truly gets involved with. This is one you don't want to miss. Theresa has amazing energy and a fantastic outlook on life. You can also follow here on IG: @theresalearlevine  Be sure to tune in!

Hi Everyone! This week I bring you Molly, who hails from Philly! Molly has been a leader in the Marketing and Communications field for over thirty years, but is most proud of her role as mom to three children of her own and two stepsons. Two of her  children have special needs, and she is tireless in advocating for them. AND she managed to find a man worthy of her strength and dedication the second time around. I learned a lot listening to her. Oh and also, Molly was the recipient of the Tiffany & Co. Women of the Moment award for her work advocating for children with severe neurological disorders. Such an underachiever. Can't wait for you to hear her story!

Hi Everyone! The Master & Me is back! This interview has been long overdue. Please welcome Nay from the UK! She's the mother of three, two of which have their own brand of challenges, whom I've known for quite some time. We talk about managing three children while managing your sanity! We discuss what it's like to have your child come of age and be on their own and the fear and relief that comes along with it. Excited for you to hear her story.

Hello Everyone! This week I am introducing you to Kristy who is the sister to a brother with Downs Syndrome. There is so much love here, your heart will explode! Kristy's brother, Wesley, is exceptional as an artist as well, which prompted her to create the Exceptional Artist Foundation. She's so inspiring and loving and selfless!! You'll love her as much as I did. 

Good morning to you all! We kick off the new year speaking to one of the most powerhouse moms I've ever virtually met. Please take a lists to Yadi! Yadi is the mom of a son with ADHD, but also has a career where she supports the US military in the creation of management software, is a grad student in Organization Behavior at Harvard (heard of it?), AND she has a podcast, "Hardcore Soft Skills" where In each episode, Yadi interviews a different expert on a "soft" skill so listeners can learn how to improve on each. Soft skills are the key to make hard skills work, says she. Well, she makes me feel bad for every complaining about being tired! She's great, has an amazing accent, and you'll love her like I did!

Friends! This is a Very Special Holiday episode of the Master & Me. Meet Alli. Alli is a sophomore at the University of New Hampshire who is majoring in Psychology and minoring in being completely awesome! Her genuine compassion for the special needs community is so inspiring, she will make you want to be better as a human being. Her parents should walk the streets proudly. There is nothing but love and positivity in this episode. Enjoy.

Friends! Let me introduce you to Laura who hails from Kansas! Yes, Kansas! Kansas will surprise you with the services they have available for our special loved ones. Well, at least I was surprised. Laura is the mom to Jack who is 18 and has been diagnosed with autism, apraxia, ADHD, anxiety, OCD, digestive issues, feeding problems and scoliosis. I ask her how she gets out of bed in the morning and it's with both feet on the ground. The woman is a POWERHOUSE and super impressive. She will definitely make you want to step your game up. Can't wait for you to listen!

A Thanksgiving Special! It was such a treat to speak to Jeanine from NYC this week that I'm dropping this one early (also, I want to enjoy my time off). This powerhouse of a woman is an oncology nurse and raising a son with Autism. We get real and cover off on such things as stupid people who say the stupidest things, getting that necessary down time and of course navigating this new reality. She's not alone in this reality as she has what she calls the Graycare team who support her and her family during this journey. I loved this conversation so much and I hope you will too!
