Physician Maureen Michele was faced with a medical challenge from an unexpected perspective: that of a parent. When her daughter received two different life-altering diagnoses, Maureen was already managing a full plate of career, household, and family responsibilities. Managing her daughter’s chronic serious illnesses tested her mettle in ways she could not have imagined, and the journey strengthened her fortitude in every area of life.
Maureen’s success in managing this journey has added another title to her resume: Life Coach. Maureen now coaches parents of children with serious chronic illnesses, and she has written a book to help them learn to manage the stress and logistics of this parenting challenge. Reclaiming Life: A Guide for Parents of Chronically Ill Children weaves themes of identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts with specific suggestions on how to approach family caretaking responsibilities and goal-setting in general. She talks with Shannon Fisher about the helpful tips and tricks in the book that can turn an overwhelmed caretaker into a nearly-unshakable boss.
Our Lives with Shannon Fisher delves deeply into the personal, political, and societal perspectives of the human experience. The show explores the worlds of writers, artists, celebrities, community leaders, and everyday Joes and Janes and offers listeners food for thought on ways to better themselves and the world around them.

Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
