to the moon and back:
a childhood under the influence
Share the Hope
Lisa Kohn’s memoir of being raised in and torn between two conflicting worlds. There was the world she longed for and lived in on weekends – her mother’s world, which was the fanatical, puritanical cult of the Moonies – and the world she was forced to live in during the week – her father’s world, which was based in sex, drugs, and the squalor of life in New York City’s East Village in the 1970’s.

the absolute joy of this moment
I am, as many of you know, back from an outrageously beautiful, magnificent, brilliant and magic month. Every year, we close my consulting and coaching firm for the month of August. Most Augusts I have happily, or exhaustedly, spent the month alternating between the...
it sucks to be human when you were raised not to be
I was on the phone with a Second Gen friend (those of us born and/or raised in an extremist situation or cult). She has two young kids and had lost it with one of them. Her shame slam was huge, because she felt she hadn’t been the amazing mom she wants to be. I let...
