#202: Crafting a Legacy: What Story Will You Leave Behind?

Connect with Kimberly HarmsDr. Kimberly Harms transforms the often daunting task of end-of-life planning into a compassionate journey, helping people navigate the emotional aspects of legacy planning. She has witnessed death up close many times throughout her life, including the loss of her mother and her son to suicide and, eventually, her husband from a broken heart after their son’s death. These events shaped her views on finding meaning in grief, and she set out on a mission to end the stigma around end-of-life planning.    As a fourth-quarter coach and international speaker specializing in grief, conflict resolution, and legacy planning, Dr. Harms helps end-of-life professionals, like hospice workers, make their clients' legacy planning practically and emotionally seamless.  Her book Are You Ready? How to Build a Legacy to Die For discusses how to build a legacy that lives on after your death. It was a #1 bestseller on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and has won numerous awards, including being named the most inspirational book of 2024 by the Pacific Book Awards.More about Dr. Harms: Worked as a grief counselor, civil mediator, and death doula. Featured in The Chicago Journal, US Reporter, Women’s Journal.Co-founder of 65 Eric Harms Memorial Libraries throughout Rwanda.30+ years of experience in clinical dentistry; serving as the National Spokesperson for the American Dental Association for 21 years.The first woman President of the Minnesota Dental Association. Connect with Host Terry LohrbeerIf you are a Boomer and feel you would make a great guest please email Terry with your bio and any other info you would like to share at: [email protected]: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2658545911065461/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrylohrbeer/Instagram: kickassboomersTwitter: @kickassboomersWebsite: kickassboomers.comTerry’s editing company:Connect to Premiere Podcast Pros for podcast editing:[email protected] LEAVE A REVIEW and join me on my journey to become and stay a Kickass Boomer!Visit http://kickassboomers.com/ to listen to the previous episodes. Email [email protected]

Connect with Jean Kuhn Running your business is no different than running your family. You need a daily plan or everything goes to hell. I became a mom and an entrepreneur at the exact same time, April 29, 1985, at 8:52 p.m. The moment they put that…The moment they put that first baby in my arms I knew I was not going back to a J-O-B I hated, so I just started a business.When I gave my notice to the company I worked for, they offered to put a computer in my house (in 1985 no one had home computers), make me an independent contract, increase my pay, put a computer in our home, and let me work from home. I was one of the original “telecommuters.”I have started several businesses through the years, but my biggest business lessons came when I, purposefully, bought a bankrupt business in 2002 (a chocolate franchise).I turned that business around in 12 months adding $100,000 to the bottom line. Four years later I bought a second bankrupt business (another chocolate franchise), and turned it around in less than 12 months adding slightly over $100,000 to the bottom line. I started helping my fellow franchisees increase their revenue, and then small business owners.I now work with service and retail businesses to help them turn around their business and increase their cash flow fast.https://ixn2zmly.pages.infusionsoft.net/ [email protected]://www.linkedin.com/in/jeankuhn?Connect with Host Terry LohrbeerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2658545911065461/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrylohrbeer/Instagram: kickassboomersTwitter: @kickassboomersWebsite: kickassboomers.com Connect to Premiere Podcast Pros for podcast editing:[email protected] LEAVE A REVIEW and join me on my journey to become and stay a Kickass Boomer!Visit http://kickassboomers.com/ to listen to the previous episodes.

JERRY GLAZERAs the leader of a Special Ops team, I learned the hard way that the Vietnam War was built on lies and deceit. We had as much to fear from the hardened American units, as we did from the enemy. ​I was one of the more fortunate ones who returned alive, but every soldier has been wounded. I was awarded 3 medals for bravery, and meritorious service awards, but PTSD, regret and guilt followed me home.   When I returned from Vietnam, I recounted these the bizarre stories: the humor and absurdity of basic training and combat. My friends and family members, were both intrigued and in awe of the insanity of it all. And it was then, that I put my thoughts on paper, and my passion for writing had begun…... ​Connect with Jerry Glazerwebsite: https://jerryglazer.medium.comwebsite: www.Vietnamjerry.comemail: [email protected]://www.facebook.com/jerryglazerlinkedin.com/in/jerryglazerX @Jerry_glazerhttps://www.instagram.com/jgauthor22/Connect with Host Terry LohrbeerIf you are a Boomer and feel you would make a great guest please email Terry with your bio and any other info you would like to share at: [email protected]: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2658545911065461/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrylohrbeer/Instagram: kickassboomersTwitter: @kickassboomersWebsite: kickassboomers.comTerry’s editing company:Connect to Premiere Podcast Pros for podcast editing:[email protected] LEAVE A REVIEW and join me on my journey to become and stay a Kickass Boomer!Visit http://kickassboomers.com/ to listen to the previous episodes. Email [email protected] SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST

Connect with Sandra Wasko-FloodSandra Wasko-Flood is an artist, poet, teacher and founder of the national non-profit organization: Living Labyrinths for Peace. Elizabeth Bishop is responsible for the publishing of this, her first book of art and poetry.Wasko-Flood received a BA from UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles) in English, and a Standard Secondary Teaching Credential from California State College, Los Angeles. After teaching Junior High School for three years, she became disappointed with the school system, and became a full time artist. She chose artistic luminaries with whom to study wherever she lived: at UCLA, in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, University of Wisconsin, Madison, Smithsonian Institution Washington DC, and UNM Taos.Specializing in printmaking and art/technology labyrinths, as director of the printmaking center at the Lee Arts Center in Arlington, VA, she invited Keith Howard to teach his new safe etching methods there. She then taught Safe Etching as well as Monotype printmaking, one of the first to update this form of one copy prints, at her home studio in Alexandria, VA.An ardent feminist since college days, she was a founding member of the Washington Women’s Arts Center, the Washington Printmakers Gallery, the International Labyrinth Society and the founder of the Women’s Art Spirit group (discusses art and spirituality), and Living Labyrinths for Peace.She discovered labyrinths from a seminal experience in the Great Kiva Civic/Ceremonial Center in Chaco Nature National Historical Park, NM, in which she saw figures of all races and cultures ascending an underground spiral, to do a Dance of Peace on the Kiva floor, and ascend a spiral to the skies. Afterwards, she went straight to a book store and found newly published book on labyrinths. She knew a labyrinth belonged in that kiva. Returning to her Washington DC studio, she was inspired to create “Dance of the Labyrinth:” computer programmed light box image faces of people and animals (Life), mummies (Death) and icons (Spirits) that lit up to your steps.Due to an invitation from the Washington Performing Arts Society, (WPAS), based at the Kennedy Center, she conducted her “Labyrinths for Creativity and Peace” workshops in local schools. Inspired to change the school system, she related the labyrinth to all subjects or intelligences. In her soon to be published book—“The Labyrinth Instructors Handbook,” she will receive contributions from teachers in every field.This teaching experience led her to co-directing the Labyrinth Society’s first project: “Labyrinths for Peace: 2000,” a labyrinth demonstration for inner peace on the East Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. Shortly afterwards, she founded Living Labyrinths for Peace (LL4P). This national organization, has the mission to inspire healing and transformation within and among people through labyrinth creation and education. Its goal is to establish a permanent LL4P center based on her vision in Chaco’s Great Kiva to unite peoples of all cultures, races and beliefs.You are invited to view her art and LL4P websites:www.waskoart.comwww.livinglabyrinthsforpeace.orgContact [email protected] with Host Terry LohrbeerIf you are a Boomer and feel you would make a great guest please email Terry with your bio and any other info you would like to share at: [email protected] with Host Terry LohrbeerFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/2658545911065461/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/terrylohrbeer/Instagram: kickassboomersTwitter: @kickassboomersWebsite: kickassboomers.comTerry’s editing company:Connect to Premiere Podcast Pros for podcast editing:[email protected] LEAVE A REVIEW and join me on my journey to become and stay a Kickass Boomer!Visit http://kickassboomers.com/ to listen to the previous episodes.
