With lived experience and insights shaped by an online community of over 470,000 parents, Pat brings the truth, the tools, and the strategies single parents actually need.

In this episode, we sit down with pathfinding coach and Bat Out of Hell founder, Hillary Spiritos—a woman who truly understands what it means to pivot with purpose. Hillary shares her journey from higher education and corporate life into coaching young adults, offering down-to-earth strategies for finding direction, embracing change, and learning to trust your inner voice.

If you’ve been feeling stuck, stretched thin, or out of alignment, Hillary brings a refreshing mix of empathy, adaptability, and resilience. Her message is a powerful reminder: you’re not behind, you’re not off track—you’re right on time.

While this conversation is geared toward young adults, the wisdom shared here applies to all of us. I encourage you to listen with a young person in your life—or share it with someone who’s searching, questioning, or trying to find their footing.

This is definitely one worth passing along.

In this episode, we interview Dr. Eugene Manley...

What happens when a cancer scientist becomes a patient—and sees firsthand how bias and documentation can shape the care you receive?

In this episode of Earrings Off, we’re joined by Dr. Eugene Manley (cancer scientist, nonprofit founder, patient advocate) for a real, eye‑opening conversation on lung cancer & health equity.

We talk about:
✨ Why lung cancer disparities persist in Black and underserved communities
✨ The must‑ask questions after “you might have cancer” — including how to find support like a patient navigator
✨ How incomplete testing + low clinical trial representation can limit treatment options
✨ Where AI could help… and where it could reinforce disparities if the data isn’t inclusive
✨ His personal story of medical racism after surgery—and what patients can do to protect themselves

💬 If you or someone you love is navigating healthcare right now, this episode is for you.
👉 Episode drops on Sunday, 4 pm eastern wherever you listen to podcasts. Link will also be in our bio

📌 BONUS: Dr. Manley says if you message him on LinkedIn and mention the podcast, he’ll send a “2026 patient power playbook” (7 questions to ask in healthcare settings).

Today's guest is Author and Publisher Terry Whalin. Terry has been in book publishing for decades and worked with hundreds of authors. Many of these authors have unrealistic expectations about what will happen when their book is published. Terry offers valuable tips in today’s episode on the importance of developing a solid book proposal and business plan. Terry makes the point that much of the publishing process is outside of anything an author can control. What can the author control? Their book proposal submission and business plan. Terry walks through the steps that result in success in these critical areas. Terry also has written 10 Publishing Myths to give authors realistic expectations and encouragement to take practical action steps to make their book a success. With an estimated 600 million blogs, Terry is one of the top 27 content producers with over 1,700 entries in his blog on The Writing Life.

Children assume adults will protect them. That’s the contract. In this episode, Lou and Teresa discuss the moral responsibility adults carry when powerful individuals are accused of harming the vulnerable. This is not about politics, it’s about courage, accountability, and refusing to normalize abuse. The Earrings Off hosts explore historical examples of adults who risked everything to protect children and ask: What does courage look like today?

If you’ve been feeling the weight of recent headlines, this conversation is for you.
Listen. Reflect. Act.
