Season 13 Premiere- The Comeback Girl

Five months ago, I found myself on the floor at a family gathering, my knee in excruciating pain, and my summer plans up in the air. It was at that moment, with my husband Rusk by my side, that our journey through ACL injury and recovery began. This episode of the Señora Vibes podcast marks our return after a six-month hiatus, and we’re pulling back the curtain on the highs, lows, and everything in between that comes with such a significant injury. From the split-second decisions we made to avoid the ER, opting instead to consult our trusted family practitioner, Dr. Sonia Singh, to the lucky involvement of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Houston Braly, an old family friend, we share the intimate details of our path to recovery.

Never count this scrappy girl out! Call Her the Comeback Girl!

Join me to celebrate by listening to this mid-year birthday check-in episode and sharing it!

I do a mini-episode every year called, "A Birthday Check-In". It's a brief chat with myself and my listeners as I reflect on the last few months as a 48-year-old and what I'm manifesting for 49.

As many of you know my year started wonderfully and just a few weeks ago it went south. Hear as I reflect on the lessons and the expectations for myself and this podcast. You'll hear why it's not a good idea to go balls-to-wall crazy because it can lead to injury....ouch!!

I decided to take a break from podcasting and focus on rebranding myself and my podcast. You'll hear where I'm heading and WHY I NEED you to come with me.

I love you all. Thank you so much for your support and for listening! Please send me your positive vibes and remember that I want to hear from you.

Always-Alicia

Navigating the intricate dance of parenting without religious beliefs, we open up about our personal experiences and the heartfelt moments that have shaped our approach to raising children with a secular perspective. Joined by Kate Cohen, a columnist and author who champions the cause of non-believers, we explore the depth of morality, ethics, and community support in a life free from religious doctrine. Our conversation invites you to witness the balancing act between honoring family traditions and upholding our own convictions, all while nurturing our children's understanding of the world through a non-religious lens.

With the arrival of our children came the daunting task of imparting values and answering the big life questions without the framework of religious stories. We share the transition from our own religious upbringings to embracing atheism, and the conscious choice to foster honesty over conformity. This episode isn't just about the absence of belief; it's a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human morality and ethics that exists outside the confines of religious texts. We delve into the innate nature of kindness and delve into discerning the world with curiosity and compassion.

We round out our discussion by addressing the need for community and support, especially for women facing the dual challenges of caregiving for both children and aging parents outside traditional religious structures. Kate Cohen brings her own narrative of authenticity, emphasizing the importance of solidarity among non-believing individuals and the potential societal shift towards greater acceptance of atheism. Her insights are not just for the non-believer but for anyone interested in the broader implications of living a life grounded in secular humanism and ethical integrity. Join us for an episode filled with personal anecdotes and cultural references that will resonate with anyone on a journey toward understanding life's complexities beyond religion.

Kate Cohen is a Washington Post contributing columnist and author of We of Little Faith: Why I Stopped Pretending to Believe (And Maybe You Should Too)
