Speaker 1 (00:13):
Hi, Welcome to inside the Mom's Club, where being a
mom is the coolest place to be. Here in the
Mom's Club, we believe that what embarrasses you now will
make a great story later. And let's face it, you
don't laugh sometimes you're gonna cry. Join us in having
a good laugh together. I'm Monica Samuels. You are now

Speaker 1 (00:45):
At the Mom's Club, I'm your host, Monica Samuels, and
I'm here with my lovely co host, Julie Orchids. So nice, Monica,
So glad to be back together here in l A
doing our podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Me and I always look forward to sharing a hotel
room with you.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, yes, and we got very lucky this time.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I was a little scared.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
We almost had to share a bed, which this time
we got our own bed, which is nice.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I say, call and check again, make sure somebody else
doesn't need a double. You know we could use that double.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, so we did. And it's always so. Julie teases
me all the time because when you share it, when
your roommates on these trips, you have to deal with
the little idiosyncrasies of the other people, right, And one
of mine is that before I go to bed and
I kind of the pass off fall asleep is I
(01:36):
always listen to Seinfeld. So true, and and you're gonna
be really excited. I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Person's on today was on an episode of Seinfelds. You
probably got to listen to one of those while I
was and then she'd always like one time she tried
to turn it off and I'm nearly.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Said yeah, she like grabbed my hand and I was like, oh,
she has her eyes closed, but she's meditating to following
a stint to sign. I love Seinfeld, but it's not
like the new Colm that we used to fall asleep to.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So I will say in your routine, newcom has proven
to be better. No disrespect to Seinfeld, because it's still
amazing a lot amazing, amazing on the Mom's Club. But yes,
new Calm, which is spelled and you see alm is
an app that can help you sleep better, focus better.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
You get to get more energy energy from it.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
And what's really great for the moms and the Mom's
Club is if you put Mom's Club in the code
at checkout, you're gonna get fifteen percent off every month
of your subscription.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Listen. I'm all about positive mental health with a discount.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
It's great. I mean I can't say enough nice things
about it, and but I also can't say enough nice
things about going to sleep listening to Seinfeld. That's also
a good option too.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I like to watch The Golden Bachelor to sleep too.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
We do.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So Julie is hooked.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
The Golden Bachelorette.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
She was hooked on the Golden Back and made that
Don turned out so well and then she got really infuriated.
They really want to know the truth. I mean, I've
never seen anybody get so upset about.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Well getting expect why. It made me mad because I'm
definitely got married. Yeah, I just not a hater of
new relationships. But you want hope that after a certain
age that you kind of got things figured out. And
I was just kind of like ninety days and then
so I was just like, I don't know, it was
(03:32):
just kind of a letdown.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, how are you feeling about The Golden Bachelor right now?
I like it.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I will tell you, I'm only yeah an one.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, I've only watched one episode of it. And because
for me, personally, I was watching these people and I
felt like she shared how how horrible it was losing
her husband, which I'm sure it was, yes, and how
wonderful he was, and then they all shared how they
I only saw the ones that were widowers, and they
were all sad about their wives. Like this is kind
of sad. I mean, yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
They're being real and it's a real thing, and so
listen this also, I don't care. It's actually one of
the number one shows on television right now because a
lot of people are either a choosing not to be
married anymore. And also that you want hope, You want hope,
if you want to find someone. This gives you hope.
And it's fun. You want to have fun, and you
(04:20):
have choices. This is the beauty of it. This is
what I like about it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well, I know, I'm I'm for it. I think I
think that's great. And you know what else I'm finding
from my nieces who are in their late twenties and
early thirties, and I have two sons who, by the way,
are both taken at the moment, but in the event
that doesn't work out, they are very good looking and
(04:44):
well educated. So just we're gonna love that.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I feel like this is, you know, a popular topic,
whether you're in your twenties or What I was going
to say is sixth relationships.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
People are not having relationships like women. Women are finding
it hard to find good guys to date. And they're
telling me that the guys are all playing video games
and hanging out with each other and they're just not
into relationships and it's really hard.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And well, the girls are hanging out with each other
and they're going to like homecoming in large groups. I
just did this this weekend and not a lot of
people are getting dates or flowers or anything. So listen,
you're having to adjust and you kind of want to
understand why this.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Is a big adjustment. And obviously, for the future of
the human race to continue, we need some we need
some good relationships, and there some good relations Why I
am so excited today to introduce our guest who is
A is a multi award winning LA theater director, and
she most recently won Broadway World's Los Angeles Best Director Award.
(05:48):
She directed a season of HBO cinemats as The Zan's
Chronicles and Amazon's Smothered. She has extensive TV credits, including Seinfeld,
which tonight. I will play you that episode to see
which one that is. But the reason we're here talking
to her today is friends are always asking for her
relationship advice, and so she wrote a book called The
(06:10):
Party how To How to Have Fun While Finding True Love.
Please welcome, Terry Hannah.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I'm so happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Hi, Hi, welcome, Thank you. Well, So tell us how
does a director in your professional career? How do you
how do you come to being an expert on relationships?
Like what led you to write this book? I mean
it's one thing to say how your friends say you're
really good at fixing people up, or you have your advice,
(06:42):
but to actually sit and write a book about it
and give advice that Where did that turn happen?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Absolutely, Chris. I want to say how happy I am
to be here. It's just in your conversation and who
you are. I've listened to several of your podcasts, as
I was saying earlier to Julie, so enlightening, and you
guys are great together, serious and engaged and engaging, and
that's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
So thank you. Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
So I was at a party in Venice, California, and
I was divorced from my first husband, and I was
at with some girlfriends and just getting over the experience
of being so sad in shock right from being divorced.
And I was at this party and I remember it really,
really well because I was sitting on this beige leather
(07:31):
sofa and I was just watching the people and there
were people coming in together, staying together, like little pods
of people everywhere. People weren't connecting at all, right, And
I had a white wine spritzer and I took a
sip and put it on the coffee table, and I
had like this moment, this thought, this vision, and I thought,
(07:54):
what if what if someone like Oprah or doctor Ruth
was like magically appear at this party and say something.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Like, all right, everybody, we know why you're here. You
want to find love?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Right, That's so good?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And I imagined everybody at the party responding, right, because
that's actually what everybody wants, right, I mean, everybody wants love.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, you don't want to miss out on connected.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Nope, you don't want to miss out you want you
want a true companion.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
So I thought, Okay, I'm going to create a singles
party where that's really going to be the main thing.
It's going to be an intentional singles party where we're
going to have fun. Fun. As you were saying earlier, Julie,
while you were watching that show, is that fun. Fun
is so important. And when you're having fun, you're like yourself.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yes, I was watching a kid yesterday. We're taking a walk.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
The little boy was playing and he was so engaged
in what he was doing. He was so happy. And
when we have fun, we're ourselves. We're glowing, we're the
blood is like flowing right, our hearts beating, we're smiling,
we're laughing. We're incredibly attractive when we're having fun. So
I thought, if I throw a singles party where the
(09:18):
premise is everybody's having fun, and I would set that up,
then people would meet people.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
So you're saying that pressure is lifted.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Pressure is lifted.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And also you're there, you're all open hearted, you're there
because you want to be there, like you believe in love.
It takes courage to have hope, right, and so you
were saying earlier, So the hope that you're going to
meet someone, I mean, that's a beautiful thing. So I
threw several of these parties with some girlfriends, and we
had boyfriends, and some people got married and they were great,
(09:52):
and then I got married and then no more parties. Right. So,
about two years ago, at a birthday party during the pandemic,
a woman and I were talking. Her name is Francine,
and she was saying, I cannot meet a guy. I
can't meet a guy. I'm in la it is terrible
and depressed. And I said, why don't you throw a
single party? And she said, oh, I couldn't do that.
(10:14):
And I told her about the ones I threw and
she said, well, Terry, can you throw me one? And
I said, no, I'm not going to throw you one.
But I'm going to write a book. I'm going to
write a guide book on how to throw a single party.
And that's how I wrote the book. That's a party,
how to have fun while finding true love?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Can you give us the top two in there? What
you do at this party? The party looks like, give
us something? Well, here's the cover, yeah, show it up there,
there you go. I can't wait to read it.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And it's actually, I've got to say in our modesty,
I reread it yesterday and it's really fun. It's it's
it's a hopeful and helpful kind of book.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
It's easy to read.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
It's funny.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Okay, a couple things.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
One of the main things is, as I said earlier,
you need to be open hearted. So when you're throwing
this party, you want to be open hearted and you
want to find You want to maybe get one or
two of your girlfriends to throw the party with you.
Makes it easier, but they're open hearted as well.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
The next thing that's really important, and I call it
the link effect. It's really easy to throw these parties
because all I have to do. Okay, so let's say
it's me. I'm throwing the party. I'm single, open hearted.
I am going to invite a male friend, platonic single,
also open hearted.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Done, he gets to come to the party.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
If he invites a female single friend, platonic, open hearted,
she can come to the party, but she has to
invite a male friend platonic open hearted.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Oh I see how this works, right, So everybody has
to have mentally stable friends.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Is at least one at least one of the opposite steps, right,
If it's if you've got you straight, you want that.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
So what happens?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I say you have three people throwing the party three hosts, right,
So each one, excuse me, invites one or two.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That's all you have to do, one or two, one
or two, one or two. And then they invite, they invite,
they invite, and it's exponential. Right.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Oh, I like this, could you know what happening? You
don't know who's coming.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Exactly, You don't know who's coming, and in all probability,
you'll never know who's coming because it takes you outside
of your world. Right, So let's say I invite Bob.
Bob invites Mary, who is his trainer. Mary invites you know, Joseph,
who's her dentist, and that keeps on going. So you're
(12:48):
meeting all these single people that are hopefully open hearted
that you would never in a million years meet.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Well, listen, I like this much better than Monica calling
me and being like, hey, we're having friend dinner with
a friend and we're down the street and he's single.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I mean, yeah, we had one and yeah, and I
had a friend who was a widow er like he
had heard his wife had passed away the year before,
and we happened to be down the street from Julie's house,
and I said, Hey, I have a single friend up
the hill. So but yeah, that didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Work out, Yeah, because I was at But I like
your idea.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Like your idea because you get to meet new people,
but a lot of platonic things. So it's not like
someone you secretly have a thing for that you invited
this party. You have to make sure it's somebody that
you're not interested in, but right someone else might be.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
That's a great idea exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And the other to answer your question, Julie, the couple
of things about the parties, because so that everybody comes right,
So you come and you know maybe one person, that's
it okay because you know one everybody's in the same boat.
So everybody jumps into the water, which is warm and
fun and you know, appealing at the same time. And
then the other thing about the party is that you
(14:03):
create games. And in the book I have the games
and the welcome game kind of so that everybody is
welcomed in the same way. I have different corners set up.
I call them affinity corners. So what do you like
to do, Julie, what's one of your favorite things that
you like to do?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Oh, my gosh, I like to play tennis. Is that
what you mean?
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh, yeah, yeah, So this is your party. And then
you have a corner where it's kind of like you
can even put a little banner sports corner. Yeah like
and you have yeah, and so people will be will
gravitate to that corner. Who likes sports?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I like that you don't have to talk about your job,
the kids, they're driving your nuts, you know, all the drama.
So you know, a guidance has helpful.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
This sounds like a fun party. Can you be married?
And oh, I guess that's not a good idea. Never mind,
I didn't hear. You can do what I said. Could
you be married and go? It sounds like a fun
party to me?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Okay, so I mean you could.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Uh. One of a married friend actually read the book
and said, I'm married, happily married. What was great about
the book is that there's so many things about it
that encourage you to have fun in your life.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Oh, you enjoy your life.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Because that's one of the reasons we're here, I think,
is to truly live who you're meant to be and
enjoy yourself and do all the things that you want
to do and hopefully find people and if you don't find,
you know, a mate, you might find two or three
friends that will become your good friend.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
So that's that's a meadus. And I can tell you
that I had to laugh because I was like, I
love this idea so much better because I saw a
show recently where they were talking about dating apps and
how god awful it is and that they might as
well just call these apps what's left, because like I mean,
(15:56):
it's just absolutely you know, So thank you for the book,
Thanks for being like an awesome friend because all your friends.
I don't know what it is about you, but clearly
everybody's asking your advice on you know, all of these times.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I think that's great. I love it. I'm going to
read that book. I think that is that's amazing. As
we say, you're on the show and okay, this is what.
So with the success of her book, yes, you probably
get to go to a lot of weddings and you're
probably gonna need a wedding planner and we have one
to day Lindsey congression. Welcome to the Mom's Club. Welcome
(16:33):
Lindy so much.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
So now when do we so when we've been to
these parties, and we finally met our true love, which Julie,
I bet she's married by next year, so she's going
to need to know about that. When would she need
your services versus she could just throw her own wedding? Like,
what what makes what makes that decision?
Speaker 6 (16:54):
What makes the decision of hiring a wedding finner?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, whether you should have a wedding planner or you
just do your own.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Right, Well, you know it's it's I think it's better
not to wing it right, So that's why you would
hire a wedding planner. I've had Bless Productions for fifteen years,
so we're definitely well versed in the area of wedding
planning an event design. But I think it's so fun
to be able to collaborate with somebody that's in the
industry that knows all about it. What vendors to go
(17:23):
to to get some help with designing your wedding, keep
you on budget, and make sure that it all goes
well so that you can just have fun.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, she's actually making fun of me, Lindsay, because I can't.
I'm terrible at paperwork, so this would be an absolute
must for me.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Yeah, yes, yeah, Well, Julief it makes you feel any better.
I'm single too, so.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Fun.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
I was cracking up in the background and Terry, that is.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Such a good idea.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I love.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I love this idea. It's fabulous.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So you too could throw a party.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
We should we should go a party before and after?
Before is the party, Then after is the wedding.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh yeah, absolutely, and then and then and then when
one or the both of you end up getting married,
you can have to say this wedding is thanks thank
courtesy of this book with a QR code where they
can buy it so everybody else can know how they can.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
But lindsay, I mean I need to hear where are
you located?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Website like calls about how you if someone needs a
wedding planner.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Like sure, yeah, so I'm located in Orange County, California,
but we do weddings all over. We just recently did
one in Aspen and Cabo and Hawaii, so we're also
destination wedding planners. Let's see, I have a degree in
interior design, so we really specialize in designing more high
end events and not just weddings events. So corporate, nonprofit,
(18:49):
et cetera. Yeah, I've had bless productions for fifteen years.
And my dad was a custom home builder in Laguna
Beach for thirty five years, so I worked for him
for quite some time as well as Ford and First American.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, and then there were all the hot spots on
houses that you could have a wedding at or yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I know.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
It's so fun. Fun of the great venues, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
So that you get to do some of the high end,
really fun weddings. Like I went to a wedding where
the girl married a professional golfer and it was during
the winter, and so there were ice sculptures everywhere, and
one of them was you took a colored golf ball
and you hit the golf ball and it went through
the ice sculpture and it landed and it hit a
pin and then that you got it shout at tequila.
(19:34):
I'm like, so fun, it was fancy. You can really
you know.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
That's true. I know, and it's becoming that way more
and more. I mean it's a lot of times it's
becoming a lot less traditional, and especially with second marriages. Julie. Yeah, well,
I'm not sure if you've been married before, but I have,
so if I do this another time, it's going to
be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I'm not sure I'm willing to do that again, but.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
You will.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I'm just saying, but you know, Terry's book could be
for anybody, right, Terry O.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
But I would like to know are you doing a
lot of marriages that are you know, in your fifties
sixty seventies.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
A lot of weddings?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Absolutely, yes, weddings.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I've done a lot. Actually, in fact, I just did
a wedding two days ago on Saturday at Montage and
this was both of their second weddings and such a
sweet couple and they both have kids. So absolutely all right.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So tell us real quick, where do people find you
to plan this wedding?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Sure, my company's name is Bliss Productions and my Instagram
is also Bliss Productions, so that's where you would find me.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Okay, terrific. Well, you know, Julie, I really feel like
this is probably one of the most important shows we've
ever done.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
It's really planning my wedding.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
And that is what we call today soup to nuts.
We're going like meet the guy, marry the guy. I
get that is the best kind of show. So we
have today with us some women that want to know more.
There are zoomer moms. So welcome zoomer moms. Welcome to
the Mom's Club.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Right, yes, thank you, good.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Welcome moms welcome. So I'm going to introduce each one
of you. You tell us a little bit about yourself
and ask either of these lovely ladies a question. We'll
start with Liz, Welcome to the Mom's Club. Tell us
a little bit about yourself, and do you have a
question for our guests?
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Hey, yes, I am from Dallas. I'm the mother of Want,
I'm a single mom. I work obviously on the road,
and so I have a question for the lady Lindsey
who always has these great weddings that they see. Is
there something that you see in terms of the people
(21:53):
that are getting married with the families that shows from
what you've seen, based off your clients, what would be
a long term happy marriage based off the parents of
the families that are getting married.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Gosh, based upon the families, well grounded families, right, good morals.
I think a family that it's always nice if you
can stay together, that's always a good, you know, thing
to do. But if it's not healthy, I think it's
sometimes better to not, but I mean that's a really
(22:30):
that's kind of it can be loaded. I think, just
a solid foundation for the children to learn how to
grow up and see a really good relationship right to
hopefully make good choices later on in life.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Well, that's a very good question that actually, Ladi so terry,
have you ever had one of these parties where you're like, oh,
hold on, wait a minute, maybe that's not going to
be such a great thing. Like do people ever kind
of steer people away in these parties? Like, I don't
know that that one's.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
You know, that's interesting in terms of the parties. Hopefully
you're bringing somebody who you actually like, you know, like
your personic friend. But there's one particular party and actually
it turned out that I ended up dating this guy
who he was a friend of a friend, right, and
he was like he had had three wives at the
(23:21):
point that I met him, and he had a tremendous
amount of baggage. And I'm not talking you know, Louis
Vuitton kind of baggage, because that would have been okay,
but like the kind of baggage that he was just
really willing to, like, you know, put on my shoulders
and I kind of had an inkling that that was
the case from the friend of the friend, a little
(23:41):
bit of you know stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
But sometimes you just got to.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Go through it in order to get through it, to
get to the other side. You learn so much and
you learned they'll never do that again, and sometimes you
have to do that. So but I think the question
is an interesting question because if you're looking at the
family or the parents of who you're going to marry,
they can tell you a lot. You just have to
kind of have your eyes open and be willing to look.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
That is true. I've always heard you should always look
at Well, first of all, you're marrying the family, not
just the person. Even if they say they don't speak
to their family anymore, they still that's a whole other issue.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I clearly did not get the memo that's the first
time around.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
So yeah, anyway, and then I guess supposedly, you know
you're you will be like your mother if the woman
and the fun and the guy's gonna end up being
like a fun Supposedly, I.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Suppose that's supposedly that's just what they say.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, Nancy, welcome to the mom's club. Tell us a
little bit about yourself. And do you have a question
for our guests?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Thank you so much. This has been really interesting.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
I am living on the island of Maui in Hawaii,
and I'm especially interested because I'm a wedding officiant and
an author of non fictional books. WHOA and just to share,
I'm super excited with my newest book is a historical
memoir of my father's escape, which was a miracle from
(25:07):
World War II Lithuania, and it's about resilience and a
hunt for truth because seventeen family members were murdered by
the Nazis. It's called fifty Cents for a Life, a
true story of surviving by synchronicity because the miracles in
life present you pathways that you didn't even know exist.
(25:31):
And I'm just thrilled with the response and where it's going.
So i have lots of questions for both of you,
but I'll start with Lindsey.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I am in.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
A destination wedding location. Ninety percent ninety five percent are
from other places, and what are the trends for destination weddings.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
A lot of mine.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Are just the couples or very small groups. What's going
on with the trend? Do they want to stay home
your family or do they want to travel right?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Oh, such a good question. Honestly, it depends on the individual.
Oftentimes we get couples that don't have a venue, which
is so fun because then this guy's the limit. Sometimes
that they're open to it. I think I just mentioned
that we just did when in Hawaii, actually on the
island of Kona. But the trends in terms of design
are really monochromatic. Now. There's a lot of white on
(26:30):
ivory on beige, so they want to stay very neutral,
which is fun, but sometimes it does make it hard
to do something there's not much pop involved in there. Yeah,
so that's the current trend.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I will say too, as a guest of destination weddings,
just a little caveat about that. We were invited to
two where we rented a VRBO and the weddings didn't
happen and we lost our money.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
It happened to me too, actually, as a guest, I
think it's important just to be aware of that.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
When you're planning one of those. You know, are you
gonna lose any friends if you end up not getting married?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Terry, have you been to any of these weddings of
people that you've introduced, I mean has.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, that you've introduced like yeah, yes, absolutely, Joan and Howard.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Joan actually helped me with the first party, and then
somebody at the first party wanted her to help her
at a second party. Joan went and created the second
party and Howard showed up and they've been together. They
have three kids. Yeah, I mean, it's as the other guest,
(27:46):
the mom was just saying, the synchronicity, you just it's
always around you. You just never know it unless you're
looking for it. And you know, we all get where
we get because of a million things, right different people.
This one thing happened that made you do this all that,
so it's always it's also it's special. And if you
(28:09):
could be there at the beginning of something and if
you say you saw the two people or you saw
one and then they connected to somebody else, like you
feel you birthed something beautiful, which is you know, talking
about mothers, like we're always birthing things, if it's friendships
or ideas or books, or we're always kind of giving.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I think you just found the title to your next book.
Maybe you know inspire.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Actually I'm I hope I I hope I can find
you your your true love, and then you can look
back and say Monica, Yeah, thanks to Monica, good luck.
If not for you, then maybe lindsay I can help you.
I just feel of yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Know, I'm not really taking one for the team today.
Maybe Emily has a question? Yeah, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Sorry, Well, we not only have zoomer moms, we also
have zoomer daughter. What is the case clame in this
case a zoom er niece, because we want to hear
from some of the younger women who also might be
inspired by the party and certainly by weddings, and so
I want to welcome my niece, Emily, Welcome to the
Mom's Club. Do you have a question?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Hello, yes, I do. I was wondering if you could
talk a little bit about the process of writing your
book and what that was like.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, yes, that's a good question. I there's a writing
teacher that I love. He works on zoom, so you
can be anywhere in the world and you can zoom
with him. His name is Jack Grapes and you can
look him up Jack Grapes dot com and he teaches
like the writing method similar to acting methods. So it
(29:48):
was you don't have to be an actor to go
to his classes, but I connected to him, excuse.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Me, and to it.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
And I think a teacher is great, a mentor is
great because they have you open up yourself, you know,
open up the doors. And I'm the kind of person
that if I say I'm going to do something, I
really try to actually do it and complete on it.
So I started, I just started with, well, how did
(30:19):
I come up with this idea? Which is what I
talked about earlier the party in Venice. So I just started, Yeah,
and you just you sit for two hours a day
if you can do that, or one hour a day.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
You commit.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
And the other thing is that the muse needs to
know where to find you. You know, I've heard that.
So you can be wandering around and you can get
an idea, but that doesn't mean that an idea is
going to be enough. It's never enough an idea. You
need to sit in front of your computer and you
need to commit to yourself basically, and you also need
(30:58):
to say to yourself, I have ideas, I'm worth it, Yeah,
I'm i I'm worthwhile. Something I'm going to say is
going to be meaningful to somebody else. And that kind
of helps me and helps I think somebody sit down
and write something. I wish you luck. What are you
trying to write?
Speaker 4 (31:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
I've always thought about writing a book someday.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, you kind of went in and out there. Just
my suggestion and my my, oh, my advice is to
just sit down and write.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
We might have lost Emily, but I can tell you
that I read a little bit about Terry about how
you started, and that's what I really liked about it,
because I too have thought about, you know, some of
the things I think about and writing down, but you
really only did it a few minutes a day in
the beginning my understanding, and then it developed into something
you know, that came about, and I think that lightens
(31:58):
the pressure of oh I have to know the beginning,
the end, a certain timeline, all of that. So I
love that and I think that was with your book
Lightness of Rain. Is that right? And you didn't really
know that you loved you know, writing or poetry or
you know what I mean? Is that true?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's absolutely true the thing about writing for me, and
I think it's true and for any of the arts
at least that the ones that I've been involved in.
Is that you get to discover as you go along.
You know, there are some people that map out everything
and that do it an outline, which is great that they.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Can do that.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I don't do that because there are so many ideas
and thoughts that I don't know at the beginning that
I'm going to have, and I don't necessarily know where
the character is going to go, and I want to
find out with them. So for me, it's a very
it's a it's a discovery and it's it's a it's
a great art form for that purpose.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah, I mean does that go along with directing too,
Like when you see when you're in it and you
may not be taking you may not even have an
outlin you may take a different direction. I mean a
lot of people aren't super familiar with directing, but you've
done so much of it. Can you speak to me
a little bit about that?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I mean, oh, I would love.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
To being an actor first.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I have It's like my natural my mother tongue is acting.
So when I'm working with actors, I know what it
is that they need and the subtext and the intention
and all that stuff, so I can communicate really easily
with them in terms of the overall. If it's a play,
I need to kind of have a metaphor for the play. So,
(33:37):
for example, I did a play called Laron de Lunch,
which is very which is a very funny play, and
it was like a circular kind of play like character A,
character B. We're in the first scene, second scene character B,
character C, and then character CE, character D, and all
the way back to character A. And to me, the
metaphor was, Oh, it's like a merry go out everybody.
(34:00):
He's coming on and getting off. And so that helped
me with the pacing and the vitality of the piece. Yeah,
so you have it and you don't know what's going
to happen until you're actually working with those exact actors
with those lines exactly in the moment. So it's it's
always kind of thrilling.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
That's what's so great about doing anything that's just creative.
Like I wrote a book, and just listening to you
talked about writing a book, it's like, later on when
I was reading on to after you write the line,
You're like, that was really good. I mean I feel
like I feel good about that. Well, Liz, I'm looking
at you there and I feel like you have one
more question.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
No, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Well, Liz was actually a guest on one of our
other shows and it was a great show, I have
to say. And she came to our event in Dallas,
which was a lot of fun. So it's good to
see some zoomer moms repeated zoomer moms and guests, and.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
So I know for sure, Yeah, that was really amazing.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
A lot of a lot of moms came out there.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
They did. Wasn't that a great event? Let me just
show that as well.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Everybody was very cool.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Well, speaking of the party, now, maybe we can so, Terry,
maybe we can start a new book too about this.
This is how to get moms like connecting, which is
really important. That's what our show is all about. So
we have events that are live events. We did one
in Dallas, that's the one Liz is referring to, and
it was at the Beaman Hotel in Dallas, and once
a month we invite moms to come out, bring their friends,
(35:35):
get together and and just.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
The room was electric. I mean the women talking to women,
We were networking, we were telling our story. You know,
everyone has a story. And what's so interesting is that.
You know, I think everybody there Liz can probably speak
to this was having a really good time and it
was you know, lighthearted and fun and you know, a
(36:00):
break from the mundane.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
And you make new friends. And it didn't hurt that
we gave away some surprising nice things. Yeah that helped too.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
So yeah, me in.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
If you do one again in La and stuff, cut
me in like.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
That'd be great. No, we would love that because that's
what we envisioned. So what we envision here with the
Mom's Club is not just you know, our podcast or
whatever else we might have happening here, which could be
happening here soon, but just a network of women who
can connect and be friends with each other and you know,
meet new friends and you have a support group, because
(36:38):
that's what it's all about. This show is really about
mom's friendships because we became friends through our kids as moms.
But you know, you can be.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Dog and I would be completely lost without my friends.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
And she really would be if you really know her
very well.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
But I mean that's true, especially the past four or
five years. But I you know, I would love to
know try what pools all your friends to you to
you know, be able to give this advice in life,
and you know, I'm just curious, Like, tell me about
a little bit about your group of friends that you
know they keep asking and that you know you were
(37:15):
able to create a book out of it.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Absolutely, As we were speaking earlier about mothers, right, trying
that I felt so connected with my mother and still
do every day. I think because she was so great,
she loved me so unconditionally that I have a similar
feeling to women and to my friends. And so I
(37:39):
love my female friends and they love me. Yeah, and
I have They're in circles. It's like there's the like
this the ring that's the close ring, right, and then
the second ring and then the third ring out. Yeah,
I trust them. They're funny, they're creative, they're they're courageous,
(38:02):
they're doing things, you know, and they're moms And not all,
not all of my closest friends are moms, of course,
but most of them actually are moms. And a lot
of them are in the industry writers or actors, photographers.
My first husband was a photographer, is a photographer, my
(38:22):
current husband is a writer. My friends are in that world.
What draws me to them, I think that they're kind
and that they're funny.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah yeah, loving, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Yeah, Well that's what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
We'll feel that way about you.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Monica and and and meet have to say it. No,
I love you too, Julie. Not enough to have to
share a bed at the hotel, but I do love you.
I'm so glad you like to snuggle and hopefully I
don't know if Liz made any friends there at that party,
but did you meet one new person?
Speaker 4 (38:59):
And yeah, I've got Tiffany Moon.
Speaker 7 (39:03):
I've her before, but I had more conversations with her.
And she's an anesthesiologist doctor h wine h, I mean.
Speaker 3 (39:12):
Producer, Like what is she not that?
Speaker 1 (39:14):
She is great? Yeah?
Speaker 7 (39:16):
All over the place.
Speaker 4 (39:17):
Yeah, she's doing great.
Speaker 1 (39:19):
She is really great. And she is so entertaining. I
was like, if I had known an anesthesiologist could be
this entertaining, I would never go to sleep. I would
try to stay awake. She's she's really great, she really is.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
She has incredible stories.
Speaker 1 (39:31):
Well, this has been a really fun show, ladies, I
don't know, it's just been terrific. And where can we
get the book? The party? So we start get this
party starting here?
Speaker 2 (39:42):

And for having me. I really appreciate it.

Well, thank you. Yes, I will share that with my
son's girlfriends. And I'm I'm joking, I'm joking. I know
it happens, happens, you know, I can't be influencing this.
Speaker 3 (40:12):
Yes, no pressure, but we're taking your name and never too.
Speaker 1 (40:16):

may speak to me after this anyway. Well, you can
find us on social media inside the Mom's Club, on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook,

this one went by super fast. I'm so inspired to
(40:37):
have a I know, I'm so joyful, and I'm so
inspired to go to your wedding and to have another
event in Dallas and to go shopping with Liz because
she looks like so much fun and I love to shop,
so I will definitely be back there.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
Yeah, and we're gonna have Maybe we should think about
an event in La so we will Terry Yeah, and
she's Orange Counties.

your precious me time with us. Remember the Mom's Club motto.
If you don't laugh sometimes, ladies, you.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
Are you going to cry.
Speaker 1 (41:14):
I do not cry. Laugh, keep it light and we'll
see you next time inside the Mom's Club.
Hi, Welcome to inside the Mom's Club, where being a
mom is the coolest place to be. Here in the
Mom's Club, we believe that what embarrasses you now will
make a great story later. And let's face it, you
don't laugh sometimes you're gonna cry. Join us in having
a good laugh together. I'm Monica Samuels. You are now
(00:34):
inside the Mom's Club, your private destination for all things mom.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
If you say they're running.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
At the Mom's Club, I'm your host, Monica Samuels, and
I'm here with my lovely co host, Julie Orchids. So nice, Monica,
So glad to be back together here in l A
doing our podcast.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
Me and I always look forward to sharing a hotel
room with you.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, yes, and we got very lucky this time.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I was a little scared.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
We almost had to share a bed, which this time
we got our own bed, which is nice.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
I say, call and check again, make sure somebody else
doesn't need a double. You know we could use that double.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Yeah, so we did. And it's always so. Julie teases
me all the time because when you share it, when
your roommates on these trips, you have to deal with
the little idiosyncrasies of the other people, right, And one
of mine is that before I go to bed and
I kind of the pass off fall asleep is I
(01:36):
always listen to Seinfeld. So true, and and you're gonna
be really excited. I'm excited.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Person's on today was on an episode of Seinfelds. You
probably got to listen to one of those while I
was and then she'd always like one time she tried
to turn it off and I'm nearly.
Speaker 3 (01:52):
Said yeah, she like grabbed my hand and I was like, oh,
she has her eyes closed, but she's meditating to following
a stint to sign. I love Seinfeld, but it's not
like the new Colm that we used to fall asleep to.
Speaker 1 (02:05):
So I will say in your routine, newcom has proven
to be better. No disrespect to Seinfeld, because it's still
amazing a lot amazing, amazing on the Mom's Club. But yes,
new Calm, which is spelled and you see alm is
an app that can help you sleep better, focus better.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
You get to get more energy energy from it.
Speaker 1 (02:27):
And what's really great for the moms and the Mom's
Club is if you put Mom's Club in the code
at checkout, you're gonna get fifteen percent off every month
of your subscription.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Listen. I'm all about positive mental health with a discount.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
It's great. I mean I can't say enough nice things
about it, and but I also can't say enough nice
things about going to sleep listening to Seinfeld. That's also
a good option too.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Well.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I like to watch The Golden Bachelor to sleep too.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
We do.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
So Julie is hooked.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
The Golden Bachelorette.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
She was hooked on the Golden Back and made that
Don turned out so well and then she got really infuriated.
They really want to know the truth. I mean, I've
never seen anybody get so upset about.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Well getting expect why. It made me mad because I'm
definitely got married. Yeah, I just not a hater of
new relationships. But you want hope that after a certain
age that you kind of got things figured out. And
I was just kind of like ninety days and then
so I was just like, I don't know, it was
(03:32):
just kind of a letdown.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Well, how are you feeling about The Golden Bachelor right now?
I like it.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I will tell you, I'm only yeah an one.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, I've only watched one episode of it. And because
for me, personally, I was watching these people and I
felt like she shared how how horrible it was losing
her husband, which I'm sure it was, yes, and how
wonderful he was, and then they all shared how they
I only saw the ones that were widowers, and they
were all sad about their wives. Like this is kind
of sad. I mean, yeah, but.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
They're being real and it's a real thing, and so
listen this also, I don't care. It's actually one of
the number one shows on television right now because a
lot of people are either a choosing not to be
married anymore. And also that you want hope, You want hope,
if you want to find someone. This gives you hope.
And it's fun. You want to have fun, and you
(04:20):
have choices. This is the beauty of it. This is
what I like about it.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Well, I know, I'm I'm for it. I think I
think that's great. And you know what else I'm finding
from my nieces who are in their late twenties and
early thirties, and I have two sons who, by the way,
are both taken at the moment, but in the event
that doesn't work out, they are very good looking and
(04:44):
well educated. So just we're gonna love that.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
I feel like this is, you know, a popular topic,
whether you're in your twenties or What I was going
to say is sixth relationships.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
People are not having relationships like women. Women are finding
it hard to find good guys to date. And they're
telling me that the guys are all playing video games
and hanging out with each other and they're just not
into relationships and it's really hard.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
And well, the girls are hanging out with each other
and they're going to like homecoming in large groups. I
just did this this weekend and not a lot of
people are getting dates or flowers or anything. So listen,
you're having to adjust and you kind of want to
understand why this.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Is a big adjustment. And obviously, for the future of
the human race to continue, we need some we need
some good relationships, and there some good relations Why I
am so excited today to introduce our guest who is
A is a multi award winning LA theater director, and
she most recently won Broadway World's Los Angeles Best Director Award.
(05:48):
She directed a season of HBO cinemats as The Zan's
Chronicles and Amazon's Smothered. She has extensive TV credits, including Seinfeld,
which tonight. I will play you that episode to see
which one that is. But the reason we're here talking
to her today is friends are always asking for her
relationship advice, and so she wrote a book called The
(06:10):
Party how To How to Have Fun While Finding True Love.
Please welcome, Terry Hannah.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
I'm so happy to be here.
Speaker 1 (06:19):
Hi, Hi, welcome, Thank you. Well, So tell us how
does a director in your professional career? How do you
how do you come to being an expert on relationships?
Like what led you to write this book? I mean
it's one thing to say how your friends say you're
really good at fixing people up, or you have your advice,
(06:42):
but to actually sit and write a book about it
and give advice that Where did that turn happen?
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (06:48):
Absolutely, Chris. I want to say how happy I am
to be here. It's just in your conversation and who
you are. I've listened to several of your podcasts, as
I was saying earlier to Julie, so enlightening, and you
guys are great together, serious and engaged and engaging, and
that's beautiful.
Speaker 4 (07:06):
So thank you. Okay.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
So I was at a party in Venice, California, and
I was divorced from my first husband, and I was
at with some girlfriends and just getting over the experience
of being so sad in shock right from being divorced.
And I was at this party and I remember it really,
really well because I was sitting on this beige leather
(07:31):
sofa and I was just watching the people and there
were people coming in together, staying together, like little pods
of people everywhere. People weren't connecting at all, right, And
I had a white wine spritzer and I took a
sip and put it on the coffee table, and I
had like this moment, this thought, this vision, and I thought,
(07:54):
what if what if someone like Oprah or doctor Ruth
was like magically appear at this party and say something.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
Like, all right, everybody, we know why you're here. You
want to find love?
Speaker 3 (08:11):
Right, That's so good?
Speaker 2 (08:14):
And I imagined everybody at the party responding, right, because
that's actually what everybody wants, right, I mean, everybody wants love.
Speaker 3 (08:25):
Yeah, you don't want to miss out on connected.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Nope, you don't want to miss out you want you
want a true companion.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
So I thought, Okay, I'm going to create a singles
party where that's really going to be the main thing.
It's going to be an intentional singles party where we're
going to have fun. Fun. As you were saying earlier, Julie,
while you were watching that show, is that fun. Fun
is so important. And when you're having fun, you're like yourself.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Yes, I was watching a kid yesterday. We're taking a walk.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
The little boy was playing and he was so engaged
in what he was doing. He was so happy. And
when we have fun, we're ourselves. We're glowing, we're the
blood is like flowing right, our hearts beating, we're smiling,
we're laughing. We're incredibly attractive when we're having fun. So
I thought, if I throw a singles party where the
(09:18):
premise is everybody's having fun, and I would set that up,
then people would meet people.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
So you're saying that pressure is lifted.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Pressure is lifted.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
And also you're there, you're all open hearted, you're there
because you want to be there, like you believe in love.
It takes courage to have hope, right, and so you
were saying earlier, So the hope that you're going to
meet someone, I mean, that's a beautiful thing. So I
threw several of these parties with some girlfriends, and we
had boyfriends, and some people got married and they were great,
(09:52):
and then I got married and then no more parties. Right. So,
about two years ago, at a birthday party during the pandemic,
a woman and I were talking. Her name is Francine,
and she was saying, I cannot meet a guy. I
can't meet a guy. I'm in la it is terrible
and depressed. And I said, why don't you throw a
single party? And she said, oh, I couldn't do that.
(10:14):
And I told her about the ones I threw and
she said, well, Terry, can you throw me one? And
I said, no, I'm not going to throw you one.
But I'm going to write a book. I'm going to
write a guide book on how to throw a single party.
And that's how I wrote the book. That's a party,
how to have fun while finding true love?
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Can you give us the top two in there? What
you do at this party? The party looks like, give
us something? Well, here's the cover, yeah, show it up there,
there you go. I can't wait to read it.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
And it's actually, I've got to say in our modesty,
I reread it yesterday and it's really fun. It's it's
it's a hopeful and helpful kind of book.
Speaker 4 (10:57):
It's easy to read.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
It's funny.
Speaker 4 (10:59):
Okay, a couple things.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
One of the main things is, as I said earlier,
you need to be open hearted. So when you're throwing
this party, you want to be open hearted and you
want to find You want to maybe get one or
two of your girlfriends to throw the party with you.
Makes it easier, but they're open hearted as well.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
The next thing that's really important, and I call it
the link effect. It's really easy to throw these parties
because all I have to do. Okay, so let's say
it's me. I'm throwing the party. I'm single, open hearted.
I am going to invite a male friend, platonic single,
also open hearted.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
Done, he gets to come to the party.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
If he invites a female single friend, platonic, open hearted,
she can come to the party, but she has to
invite a male friend platonic open hearted.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Oh I see how this works, right, So everybody has
to have mentally stable friends.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Is at least one at least one of the opposite steps, right,
If it's if you've got you straight, you want that.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
So what happens?
Speaker 2 (12:08):
I say you have three people throwing the party three hosts, right,
So each one, excuse me, invites one or two.
Speaker 1 (12:14):
That's all.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
That's all you have to do, one or two, one
or two, one or two. And then they invite, they invite,
they invite, and it's exponential. Right.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Oh, I like this, could you know what happening? You
don't know who's coming.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
Exactly, You don't know who's coming, and in all probability,
you'll never know who's coming because it takes you outside
of your world. Right, So let's say I invite Bob.
Bob invites Mary, who is his trainer. Mary invites you know, Joseph,
who's her dentist, and that keeps on going. So you're
(12:48):
meeting all these single people that are hopefully open hearted
that you would never in a million years meet.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
Well, listen, I like this much better than Monica calling
me and being like, hey, we're having friend dinner with
a friend and we're down the street and he's single.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
I mean, yeah, we had one and yeah, and I
had a friend who was a widow er like he
had heard his wife had passed away the year before,
and we happened to be down the street from Julie's house,
and I said, Hey, I have a single friend up
the hill. So but yeah, that didn't.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
Work out, Yeah, because I was at But I like
your idea.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Like your idea because you get to meet new people,
but a lot of platonic things. So it's not like
someone you secretly have a thing for that you invited
this party. You have to make sure it's somebody that
you're not interested in, but right someone else might be.
Speaker 4 (13:39):
That's a great idea exactly.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
And the other to answer your question, Julie, the couple
of things about the parties, because so that everybody comes right,
So you come and you know maybe one person, that's
it okay because you know one everybody's in the same boat.
So everybody jumps into the water, which is warm and
fun and you know, appealing at the same time. And
then the other thing about the party is that you
(14:03):
create games. And in the book I have the games
and the welcome game kind of so that everybody is
welcomed in the same way. I have different corners set up.
I call them affinity corners. So what do you like
to do, Julie, what's one of your favorite things that
you like to do?
Speaker 3 (14:19):
Oh, my gosh, I like to play tennis. Is that
what you mean?
Speaker 6 (14:23):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Oh, yeah, yeah, So this is your party. And then
you have a corner where it's kind of like you
can even put a little banner sports corner. Yeah like
and you have yeah, and so people will be will
gravitate to that corner. Who likes sports?
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I like that you don't have to talk about your job,
the kids, they're driving your nuts, you know, all the drama.
So you know, a guidance has helpful.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
This sounds like a fun party. Can you be married?
And oh, I guess that's not a good idea. Never mind,
I didn't hear. You can do what I said. Could
you be married and go? It sounds like a fun
party to me?
Speaker 4 (15:01):
Okay, so I mean you could.
Speaker 2 (15:04):
Uh. One of a married friend actually read the book
and said, I'm married, happily married. What was great about
the book is that there's so many things about it
that encourage you to have fun in your life.
Speaker 4 (15:15):
Oh, you enjoy your life.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Because that's one of the reasons we're here, I think,
is to truly live who you're meant to be and
enjoy yourself and do all the things that you want
to do and hopefully find people and if you don't find,
you know, a mate, you might find two or three
friends that will become your good friend.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
So that's that's a meadus. And I can tell you
that I had to laugh because I was like, I
love this idea so much better because I saw a
show recently where they were talking about dating apps and
how god awful it is and that they might as
well just call these apps what's left, because like I mean,
(15:56):
it's just absolutely you know, So thank you for the book,
Thanks for being like an awesome friend because all your friends.
I don't know what it is about you, but clearly
everybody's asking your advice on you know, all of these times.
Speaker 1 (16:11):
I think that's great. I love it. I'm going to
read that book. I think that is that's amazing. As
we say, you're on the show and okay, this is what.
So with the success of her book, yes, you probably
get to go to a lot of weddings and you're
probably gonna need a wedding planner and we have one
to day Lindsey congression. Welcome to the Mom's Club. Welcome
(16:33):
Lindy so much.
Speaker 6 (16:35):
Thank you for having me.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
So now when do we so when we've been to
these parties, and we finally met our true love, which Julie,
I bet she's married by next year, so she's going
to need to know about that. When would she need
your services versus she could just throw her own wedding? Like,
what what makes what makes that decision?
Speaker 6 (16:54):
What makes the decision of hiring a wedding finner?
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Yeah, whether you should have a wedding planner or you
just do your own.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Right, Well, you know it's it's I think it's better
not to wing it right, So that's why you would
hire a wedding planner. I've had Bless Productions for fifteen years,
so we're definitely well versed in the area of wedding
planning an event design. But I think it's so fun
to be able to collaborate with somebody that's in the
industry that knows all about it. What vendors to go
(17:23):
to to get some help with designing your wedding, keep
you on budget, and make sure that it all goes
well so that you can just have fun.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
Yeah, she's actually making fun of me, Lindsay, because I can't.
I'm terrible at paperwork, so this would be an absolute
must for me.
Speaker 6 (17:40):
Yeah, yes, yeah, Well, Julief it makes you feel any better.
I'm single too, so.
Speaker 4 (17:47):
Fun.
Speaker 6 (17:48):
I was cracking up in the background and Terry, that is.
Speaker 4 (17:50):
Such a good idea.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
I love.
Speaker 6 (17:52):
I love this idea. It's fabulous.
Speaker 1 (17:54):
So you too could throw a party.
Speaker 2 (17:58):
We should we should go a party before and after?
Before is the party, Then after is the wedding.
Speaker 1 (18:03):
Oh yeah, absolutely, and then and then and then when
one or the both of you end up getting married,
you can have to say this wedding is thanks thank
courtesy of this book with a QR code where they
can buy it so everybody else can know how they can.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
But lindsay, I mean I need to hear where are
you located?
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Website like calls about how you if someone needs a
wedding planner.
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Like sure, yeah, so I'm located in Orange County, California,
but we do weddings all over. We just recently did
one in Aspen and Cabo and Hawaii, so we're also
destination wedding planners. Let's see, I have a degree in
interior design, so we really specialize in designing more high
end events and not just weddings events. So corporate, nonprofit,
(18:49):
et cetera. Yeah, I've had bless productions for fifteen years.
And my dad was a custom home builder in Laguna
Beach for thirty five years, so I worked for him
for quite some time as well as Ford and First American.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Yeah, and then there were all the hot spots on
houses that you could have a wedding at or yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
I know.
Speaker 6 (19:09):
It's so fun. Fun of the great venues, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (19:12):
So that you get to do some of the high end,
really fun weddings. Like I went to a wedding where
the girl married a professional golfer and it was during
the winter, and so there were ice sculptures everywhere, and
one of them was you took a colored golf ball
and you hit the golf ball and it went through
the ice sculpture and it landed and it hit a
pin and then that you got it shout at tequila.
(19:34):
I'm like, so fun, it was fancy. You can really
you know.
Speaker 6 (19:37):
That's true. I know, and it's becoming that way more
and more. I mean it's a lot of times it's
becoming a lot less traditional, and especially with second marriages. Julie. Yeah, well,
I'm not sure if you've been married before, but I have,
so if I do this another time, it's going to
be a lot of fun.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
I'm not sure I'm willing to do that again, but.
Speaker 5 (19:57):
You will.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
I'm just saying, but you know, Terry's book could be
for anybody, right, Terry O.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
Speaker 3 (20:04):
But I would like to know are you doing a
lot of marriages that are you know, in your fifties
sixty seventies.
Speaker 6 (20:13):
A lot of weddings?
Speaker 2 (20:13):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (20:14):
Absolutely, yes, weddings.
Speaker 6 (20:16):
I've done a lot. Actually, in fact, I just did
a wedding two days ago on Saturday at Montage and
this was both of their second weddings and such a
sweet couple and they both have kids. So absolutely all right.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
So tell us real quick, where do people find you
to plan this wedding?
Speaker 6 (20:36):
Sure, my company's name is Bliss Productions and my Instagram
is also Bliss Productions, so that's where you would find me.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
Okay, terrific. Well, you know, Julie, I really feel like
this is probably one of the most important shows we've
ever done.
Speaker 3 (20:50):
It's really planning my wedding.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
And that is what we call today soup to nuts.
We're going like meet the guy, marry the guy. I
get that is the best kind of show. So we
have today with us some women that want to know more.
There are zoomer moms. So welcome zoomer moms. Welcome to
the Mom's Club.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Right, yes, thank you, good.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
Welcome moms welcome. So I'm going to introduce each one
of you. You tell us a little bit about yourself
and ask either of these lovely ladies a question. We'll
start with Liz, Welcome to the Mom's Club. Tell us
a little bit about yourself, and do you have a
question for our guests?
Speaker 7 (21:29):
Hey, yes, I am from Dallas. I'm the mother of Want,
I'm a single mom. I work obviously on the road,
and so I have a question for the lady Lindsey
who always has these great weddings that they see. Is
there something that you see in terms of the people
(21:53):
that are getting married with the families that shows from
what you've seen, based off your clients, what would be
a long term happy marriage based off the parents of
the families that are getting married.
Speaker 6 (22:08):
Gosh, based upon the families, well grounded families, right, good morals.
I think a family that it's always nice if you
can stay together, that's always a good, you know, thing
to do. But if it's not healthy, I think it's
sometimes better to not, but I mean that's a really
(22:30):
that's kind of it can be loaded. I think, just
a solid foundation for the children to learn how to
grow up and see a really good relationship right to
hopefully make good choices later on in life.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
Well, that's a very good question that actually, Ladi so terry,
have you ever had one of these parties where you're like, oh,
hold on, wait a minute, maybe that's not going to
be such a great thing. Like do people ever kind
of steer people away in these parties? Like, I don't
know that that one's.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
You know, that's interesting in terms of the parties. Hopefully
you're bringing somebody who you actually like, you know, like
your personic friend. But there's one particular party and actually
it turned out that I ended up dating this guy
who he was a friend of a friend, right, and
he was like he had had three wives at the
(23:21):
point that I met him, and he had a tremendous
amount of baggage. And I'm not talking you know, Louis
Vuitton kind of baggage, because that would have been okay,
but like the kind of baggage that he was just
really willing to, like, you know, put on my shoulders
and I kind of had an inkling that that was
the case from the friend of the friend, a little
(23:41):
bit of you know stuff.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
But sometimes you just got to.
Speaker 2 (23:44):
Go through it in order to get through it, to
get to the other side. You learn so much and
you learned they'll never do that again, and sometimes you
have to do that. So but I think the question
is an interesting question because if you're looking at the
family or the parents of who you're going to marry,
they can tell you a lot. You just have to
kind of have your eyes open and be willing to look.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
That is true. I've always heard you should always look
at Well, first of all, you're marrying the family, not
just the person. Even if they say they don't speak
to their family anymore, they still that's a whole other issue.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
I clearly did not get the memo that's the first
time around.
Speaker 1 (24:22):
So yeah, anyway, and then I guess supposedly, you know
you're you will be like your mother if the woman
and the fun and the guy's gonna end up being
like a fun Supposedly, I.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Suppose that's supposedly that's just what they say.
Speaker 1 (24:36):
Yeah, Nancy, welcome to the mom's club. Tell us a
little bit about yourself. And do you have a question
for our guests?
Speaker 4 (24:43):
Thank you so much. This has been really interesting.
Speaker 8 (24:45):
I am living on the island of Maui in Hawaii,
and I'm especially interested because I'm a wedding officiant and
an author of non fictional books. WHOA and just to share,
I'm super excited with my newest book is a historical
memoir of my father's escape, which was a miracle from
(25:07):
World War II Lithuania, and it's about resilience and a
hunt for truth because seventeen family members were murdered by
the Nazis. It's called fifty Cents for a Life, a
true story of surviving by synchronicity because the miracles in
life present you pathways that you didn't even know exist.
(25:31):
And I'm just thrilled with the response and where it's going.
So i have lots of questions for both of you,
but I'll start with Lindsey.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
I am in.
Speaker 8 (25:41):
A destination wedding location. Ninety percent ninety five percent are
from other places, and what are the trends for destination weddings.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
A lot of mine.
Speaker 8 (25:56):
Are just the couples or very small groups. What's going
on with the trend? Do they want to stay home
your family or do they want to travel right?
Speaker 6 (26:07):
Oh, such a good question. Honestly, it depends on the individual.
Oftentimes we get couples that don't have a venue, which
is so fun because then this guy's the limit. Sometimes
that they're open to it. I think I just mentioned
that we just did when in Hawaii, actually on the
island of Kona. But the trends in terms of design
are really monochromatic. Now. There's a lot of white on
(26:30):
ivory on beige, so they want to stay very neutral,
which is fun, but sometimes it does make it hard
to do something there's not much pop involved in there. Yeah,
so that's the current trend.
Speaker 2 (26:45):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (26:46):
I will say too, as a guest of destination weddings,
just a little caveat about that. We were invited to
two where we rented a VRBO and the weddings didn't
happen and we lost our money.
Speaker 6 (27:03):
It happened to me too, actually, as a guest, I
think it's important just to be aware of that.
Speaker 1 (27:10):
When you're planning one of those. You know, are you
gonna lose any friends if you end up not getting married?
Speaker 3 (27:15):
Terry, have you been to any of these weddings of
people that you've introduced, I mean has.
Speaker 1 (27:20):
Yeah, that you've introduced like yeah, yes, absolutely, Joan and Howard.
Speaker 2 (27:26):
Joan actually helped me with the first party, and then
somebody at the first party wanted her to help her
at a second party. Joan went and created the second
party and Howard showed up and they've been together. They
have three kids. Yeah, I mean, it's as the other guest,
(27:46):
the mom was just saying, the synchronicity, you just it's
always around you. You just never know it unless you're
looking for it. And you know, we all get where
we get because of a million things, right different people.
This one thing happened that made you do this all that,
so it's always it's also it's special. And if you
(28:09):
could be there at the beginning of something and if
you say you saw the two people or you saw
one and then they connected to somebody else, like you
feel you birthed something beautiful, which is you know, talking
about mothers, like we're always birthing things, if it's friendships
or ideas or books, or we're always kind of giving.
Speaker 3 (28:27):
I think you just found the title to your next book.
Maybe you know inspire.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Actually I'm I hope I I hope I can find
you your your true love, and then you can look
back and say Monica, Yeah, thanks to Monica, good luck.
If not for you, then maybe lindsay I can help you.
I just feel of yeah, I.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
Know, I'm not really taking one for the team today.
Maybe Emily has a question? Yeah, yes, yes.
Speaker 1 (28:56):
Sorry, Well, we not only have zoomer moms, we also
have zoomer daughter. What is the case clame in this
case a zoom er niece, because we want to hear
from some of the younger women who also might be
inspired by the party and certainly by weddings, and so
I want to welcome my niece, Emily, Welcome to the
Mom's Club. Do you have a question?
Speaker 5 (29:16):
Hello, yes, I do. I was wondering if you could
talk a little bit about the process of writing your
book and what that was like.
Speaker 2 (29:24):
Yeah, yes, that's a good question. I there's a writing
teacher that I love. He works on zoom, so you
can be anywhere in the world and you can zoom
with him. His name is Jack Grapes and you can
look him up Jack Grapes dot com and he teaches
like the writing method similar to acting methods. So it
(29:48):
was you don't have to be an actor to go
to his classes, but I connected to him, excuse.
Speaker 4 (29:54):
Me, and to it.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
And I think a teacher is great, a mentor is
great because they have you open up yourself, you know,
open up the doors. And I'm the kind of person
that if I say I'm going to do something, I
really try to actually do it and complete on it.
So I started, I just started with, well, how did
(30:19):
I come up with this idea? Which is what I
talked about earlier the party in Venice. So I just started, Yeah,
and you just you sit for two hours a day
if you can do that, or one hour a day.
Speaker 4 (30:33):
You commit.
Speaker 2 (30:34):
And the other thing is that the muse needs to
know where to find you. You know, I've heard that.
So you can be wandering around and you can get
an idea, but that doesn't mean that an idea is
going to be enough. It's never enough an idea. You
need to sit in front of your computer and you
need to commit to yourself basically, and you also need
(30:58):
to say to yourself, I have ideas, I'm worth it, Yeah,
I'm i I'm worthwhile. Something I'm going to say is
going to be meaningful to somebody else. And that kind
of helps me and helps I think somebody sit down
and write something. I wish you luck. What are you
trying to write?
Speaker 4 (31:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 5 (31:18):
I've always thought about writing a book someday.
Speaker 2 (31:25):
Yeah, you kind of went in and out there. Just
my suggestion and my my, oh, my advice is to
just sit down and write.
Speaker 3 (31:35):
We might have lost Emily, but I can tell you
that I read a little bit about Terry about how
you started, and that's what I really liked about it,
because I too have thought about, you know, some of
the things I think about and writing down, but you
really only did it a few minutes a day in
the beginning my understanding, and then it developed into something
you know, that came about, and I think that lightens
(31:58):
the pressure of oh I have to know the beginning,
the end, a certain timeline, all of that. So I
love that and I think that was with your book
Lightness of Rain. Is that right? And you didn't really
know that you loved you know, writing or poetry or
you know what I mean? Is that true?
Speaker 2 (32:15):
That's absolutely true the thing about writing for me, and
I think it's true and for any of the arts
at least that the ones that I've been involved in.
Is that you get to discover as you go along.
You know, there are some people that map out everything
and that do it an outline, which is great that they.
Speaker 4 (32:32):
Can do that.
Speaker 2 (32:33):
I don't do that because there are so many ideas
and thoughts that I don't know at the beginning that
I'm going to have, and I don't necessarily know where
the character is going to go, and I want to
find out with them. So for me, it's a very
it's a it's a discovery and it's it's a it's
a great art form for that purpose.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Yeah, I mean does that go along with directing too,
Like when you see when you're in it and you
may not be taking you may not even have an
outlin you may take a different direction. I mean a
lot of people aren't super familiar with directing, but you've
done so much of it. Can you speak to me
a little bit about that?
Speaker 2 (33:09):
I mean, oh, I would love.
Speaker 4 (33:11):
To being an actor first.
Speaker 2 (33:14):
I have It's like my natural my mother tongue is acting.
So when I'm working with actors, I know what it
is that they need and the subtext and the intention
and all that stuff, so I can communicate really easily
with them in terms of the overall. If it's a play,
I need to kind of have a metaphor for the play. So,
(33:37):
for example, I did a play called Laron de Lunch,
which is very which is a very funny play, and
it was like a circular kind of play like character A,
character B. We're in the first scene, second scene character B,
character C, and then character CE, character D, and all
the way back to character A. And to me, the
metaphor was, Oh, it's like a merry go out everybody.
(34:00):
He's coming on and getting off. And so that helped
me with the pacing and the vitality of the piece. Yeah,
so you have it and you don't know what's going
to happen until you're actually working with those exact actors
with those lines exactly in the moment. So it's it's
always kind of thrilling.
Speaker 1 (34:18):
That's what's so great about doing anything that's just creative.
Like I wrote a book, and just listening to you
talked about writing a book, it's like, later on when
I was reading on to after you write the line,
You're like, that was really good. I mean I feel
like I feel good about that. Well, Liz, I'm looking
at you there and I feel like you have one
more question.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
No, oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
Well, Liz was actually a guest on one of our
other shows and it was a great show, I have
to say. And she came to our event in Dallas,
which was a lot of fun. So it's good to
see some zoomer moms repeated zoomer moms and guests, and.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
So I know for sure, Yeah, that was really amazing.
Speaker 4 (35:03):
A lot of a lot of moms came out there.
Speaker 1 (35:05):
They did. Wasn't that a great event? Let me just
show that as well.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Everybody was very cool.
Speaker 1 (35:10):
Well, speaking of the party, now, maybe we can so, Terry,
maybe we can start a new book too about this.
This is how to get moms like connecting, which is
really important. That's what our show is all about. So
we have events that are live events. We did one
in Dallas, that's the one Liz is referring to, and
it was at the Beaman Hotel in Dallas, and once
a month we invite moms to come out, bring their friends,
(35:35):
get together and and just.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
The room was electric. I mean the women talking to women,
We were networking, we were telling our story. You know,
everyone has a story. And what's so interesting is that.
You know, I think everybody there Liz can probably speak
to this was having a really good time and it
was you know, lighthearted and fun and you know, a
(36:00):
break from the mundane.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
And you make new friends. And it didn't hurt that
we gave away some surprising nice things. Yeah that helped too.
Speaker 4 (36:09):
So yeah, me in.
Speaker 2 (36:11):
If you do one again in La and stuff, cut
me in like.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
That'd be great. No, we would love that because that's
what we envisioned. So what we envision here with the
Mom's Club is not just you know, our podcast or
whatever else we might have happening here, which could be
happening here soon, but just a network of women who
can connect and be friends with each other and you know,
meet new friends and you have a support group, because
(36:38):
that's what it's all about. This show is really about
mom's friendships because we became friends through our kids as moms.
But you know, you can be.
Speaker 3 (36:48):
Dog and I would be completely lost without my friends.
Speaker 1 (36:51):
And she really would be if you really know her
very well.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
But I mean that's true, especially the past four or
five years. But I you know, I would love to
know try what pools all your friends to you to
you know, be able to give this advice in life,
and you know, I'm just curious, Like, tell me about
a little bit about your group of friends that you
know they keep asking and that you know you were
(37:15):
able to create a book out of it.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
Absolutely, As we were speaking earlier about mothers, right, trying
that I felt so connected with my mother and still
do every day. I think because she was so great,
she loved me so unconditionally that I have a similar
feeling to women and to my friends. And so I
(37:39):
love my female friends and they love me. Yeah, and
I have They're in circles. It's like there's the like
this the ring that's the close ring, right, and then
the second ring and then the third ring out. Yeah,
I trust them. They're funny, they're creative, they're they're courageous,
(38:02):
they're doing things, you know, and they're moms And not all,
not all of my closest friends are moms, of course,
but most of them actually are moms. And a lot
of them are in the industry writers or actors, photographers.
My first husband was a photographer, is a photographer, my
(38:22):
current husband is a writer. My friends are in that world.
What draws me to them, I think that they're kind
and that they're funny.
Speaker 3 (38:33):
Yeah yeah, loving, yeah yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Yeah, Well that's what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (38:39):
We'll feel that way about you.
Speaker 1 (38:40):
Monica and and and meet have to say it. No,
I love you too, Julie. Not enough to have to
share a bed at the hotel, but I do love you.
I'm so glad you like to snuggle and hopefully I
don't know if Liz made any friends there at that party,
but did you meet one new person?
Speaker 4 (38:59):
And yeah, I've got Tiffany Moon.
Speaker 7 (39:03):
I've her before, but I had more conversations with her.
And she's an anesthesiologist doctor h wine h, I mean.

this entertaining, I would never go to sleep. I would
try to stay awake. She's she's really great, she really is.
Speaker 3 (39:29):
