When Podcasting meets Coaching
We all travel through life trying to be the best at something. Sadly some of us get caught up in being the best for someone else or at least in the image they identify us with. If we are unsure of our own thoughts and feelings it is possible to drift through life never understanding who we are as an individual.
As someone who search for her identity for more than 1/2 my years on earth I can share with you allowing myself to feel and venture down a path of discovery has been a the greatest gift I have recieved in my life, and I gave it to myself.
I did not have to wait for that magical gift wrapped package with the perfect bow and presentation to connect with my happiness. I accept the reality that happiness is not a destination in fact it is a work in progress and sometimes sadness propelled by negativity takes me out of the place I want to be on my journey. However, as a podcaster and life coach I have developed the tools to make the adjustments I need to create the mood I need at the moment.
I remember a time when I was around 9 years old. My Baube, my grandmother, had just died and we were sitting Shiva, the Jewish Memorial for the passing of a loved one. Since I knew this was a sad time I didn’t understand how my mother and her two sisters sat together telling stories and laughing. I was angry and confused, my Baube had just died and they were laughing how could that be right. I remember going to my mother’s side crying and asking her to stop laughing and smiling. My Aunite Annie explained in a sweet and quiet tone, that we needed to cherish the good and happy memories of Baube. It’s not that we weren’t sad but there were so many things that Baube said and did that will always bring smiles and giggles to our faces! That was my first lesson in understanding that if you look for the positive you will find it.
When my mother passed away even in her eulogy we offered up snipets of her humor and the memories that even as we laid her to rest brought happy thoughts into our spirit that still lives on for me today.
My journey, my words and the creation of tools to help me live my best life is what I offer to you thorugh podcasting and life coaching.

Sometimes You Just Need to Clean House

Well, today was a day to revisit the website to make some changes and provide our visitors with the information they are looking for. Any suggestions please email: newclevelandradio@gmail.com
Alex Bevan and The Akron Symphony_ AWESOME
Bravo – Alex Bevan and the Akron Symphony what a marvelous performance last evening at EJ Thomas Hall (in Akron, Ohio).
Approximately seven years ago I met Alex along with Jim Ballard, John Mosey, and Charlie Weiner, all talented Northeast Ohio musicians. They have teamed up and worked together as well as individually in this area and beyond. Last night Jim, John, and Charlie (amongst other musicians from the area) as well as my husband and I, were entertained not just with the music but the bantering between Alex and Eric (Conductor of the Akron Symphony).
I spotted Jim and Charlie in the audience, and I had the chance to talk briefly with John and my heart was soaring because these four men lead me in the direction of meeting so many talented individuals in my community, known by many outside the community.
The music last night was Bevan’s “Watersongs” album to life and together with this magnificent orchestra magic was made.

Thank you, Alex, for providing me with a wonderful memory through your music.
Check out our new page… The Dallas Wings
newclevelandradio.net is proud to be a Top Fan of The Dallas Wings
If you are asking why we chose The Dallas Wings (as well as The Panther City Lacrosse Club) it’s because Cleveland does not have a WNBA Team or a Professional Lacrosse Team. The other reason is that Alex Hale, the original owner of newclevelandradio.net is the Merchandise Coordinator for both teams!
Next month I will have the privilege to attend not one but two Dallas Wings games. I will be visiting in Arlington for the June 13th and 15th for Seattle Storm and Connecticut Suns Games. I will ensure I provide you all with a writeup on my experiences and if I can snag an interview or two I would be so excited too!
Become a FAN today The Panther City Lacrosse Team
I am not sure why The Panther City Lacrosse Team does not pull in fans! I have been an Avid Fan since I was introduced to the team and the game. Although I do not live in Texas, I support this team via social media, and I watch their games on ESPN+. “Lacrosse has its origins in a tribal game played by eastern Woodlands Native Americans and by some Plains Indians tribes in what is now the United States of America and Canada. The game was extensively modified by European settlers to create its current collegiate and professional form.” This sport is played in high schools nationwide and is a major sport in many colleges. So why aren’t we more onboard?
The Panther City Lacrosse Team is a fairly young team to the Fort Worth area beginning their season in 2021. They are a group of young professional men putting their hearts and souls into this sport and I want to see the community stand up and support them. Going to a Panther City Game is affordable for most families. I know the Forth Worth, Arlington, and Dallas have other major sports teams as well, but they are not as affordable for families to attend. The game of lacrosse is fast paced and exciting and I must say when I was visiting Texas in December, I felt like a kid sitting in the stands cheering this team on. I have not missed a game watching from my home in Ohio on ESPN+.
So here I am challenging the community in Fort Worth and the surrounding area to join in the fun. The next game is Sunday, March 3rd 3 pm EST /2 pm CST. They will be on the road after that returning to Dickies Arena on Friday, March 22nd 8pm EST/ 7 pm CST. On April 7, a Sunday afternoon game at 4 pm EST/ 3 pm CST & Sunday, April 14th which will be an early evening game at 5pm EST/ 4 pm CST. (This is the last Season Home Game for 2024.) So don’t wait, get out there see what all the excitement is and become a FAN TODAY!

Glenn expressed his appreciation for being able to share his deep thoughts on the airwaves, and the two reminisced about changes in the radio industry over the years. They also discussed their respective journeys into and through broadcasting, with Karen sharing her story of being dissuaded from pursuing a career in communications and broadcasting by her parents. | |
| Glenn’s Musical and Televisual Journey | |
| Glenn shared his life experiences and career journey, starting from his teenage years when he began developing interests in music and cooking. He shared how his love for entertaining people led him to pursue a career in music and piano teaching. However, he faced a dilemma between his passions and the realities of the financial compensation. Later, an unexpected event occurred when he was noticed by Conan O’Brien on his show, which led him to consider a career in television. Finally, he decided to enroll in broadcasting school in 1996 to become a behind-the-scenes professional, but ended up taking an internship at Q104. | |
| Glenn’s Journey From Song Parodies to Positive Thinking | |
| Glenn, known initially for his funny song parodies, shared how he transitioned to a deeper thinker and positive person. He credited this change to his radio show where he was paid to maintain a good mood and provide a positive listening experience for his audience. Despite initial challenges, he found that the more he worked at being happy, the more natural it became. He also noted that his job required him to be in a good mood regardless of personal issues, which he found cathartic. Glenn’s journey from a funny song man to a deep thinking man was a result of his effort to force happiness until it became natural. | |
| Therapy Through Personal Writing | |
| Glenn and Karen (Avoid the Maze) shared their experiences of using personal writing as a form of therapy. Glenn expressed that sharing struggles and experiences on blogs and posts provided him with comfort and guidance, and possibly did the same for others. Karen agreed, reflecting on her podcasting experiences and the impact that reaching just one person can have. They discussed their processes for writing and dealing with emotions, with Karen acknowledging she often starts with a negative feeling but then seeks out a quote or realization that shifts her perspective to a positive outcome. Both agreed that their writing often reflected their experiences and emotions, and they preferred to share possible solutions or personal experiences rather than just their opinions. | |
| Emotional Support in Relationships | |
| Karen and Glenn discussed the emotional journey of friends and family members moving away and the importance of expressing emotions. Karen shares how she felt when her son moved to Texas but also saw it as an exciting new chapter.

Both agree on the importance of breaking down traditional gender roles in parenting and being emotionally supportive for their children. | |
| Parenting Perspectives: Love, Routines, and Diagnosis | |
| Glenn and Karen-shared their experiences with parenting and raising children. Glenn emphasized the importance of being present for children and making them feel loved, appreciated, and listened to, rather than constantly giving them tasks and chores. He also shared that having routines and making children accountable for their actions had helped in their family. In contrast, Karen shared her experience with her son’s autism diagnosis. She explained that while the diagnosis changed how others treated her son, they tried to maintain a sense of normalcy at home. She also stressed the importance of not treating children differently based on their diagnosis. | |
| Parenting Philosophies and Personal Growth | |

Glenn shared his experiences and perspectives on personal growth and change, focusing on the role of technology, including the Odyssey app for radio listening, and encouraged embracing new technological advancements. |
Reminiscing on Radio and Parenting and MORE…Rooting for the Dallas Wings
The Dallas Wings are an American professional basketball team based in Arlington, Texas. The Wings play in the Western Conference in the Women’s National Basketball Association. Prior to this year I was totally unaware of the WNBA, but I love this young team.
This team was one of the first WNBA expansion teams in 1998 as the Detroit Shock (Detroit is my birthplace but Arlington, Texas area holds my heart!)
They are second in the Western Conference Division and will be moving into the playoffs.
The Dallas Wings (18-14) defeated the Washington Mystics (15-17), 97-84, on Sunday, August 20 to increase their win streak to three games.
They play tonight (Tuesday 8/22/23) Minnesota against the Lynx, another city I once called home.
Thursday night they will be back in Arlington to play against the Lynx on their home court.
Newclevelandradio.net & What in the World with Paul Seaburn are cheering loud and clear – please join us!
