Very often, we don't need to speak to get our point across. In fact, a look or touch can
speak volumes, and I'll be discussing that with Rob Thomas, author of "Wordless
Connection: Deepen Intimacy Without Saying a Word."

Rob's book provides a practical, five-step framework for couples to rebuild trust and
closeness through nonverbal communication rather than the traditional "talking it out"
method, which can often lead to arguments. Rob talks about specific silent techniques
designed to increase empathy and intimacy, and uses neuroscience and behavioral
research to illustrate how nonverbal cues, such as a touch or gaze, can deepen
emotional bonds and reduce conflict. The gestures are subtle, but effective. We'll talk
about it and even go through some exercises to illustrate.

The work is done with purpose. For example, there's a simple hug, and then there's a
hug with deeper meaning and intent. The idea is to engage with deeper care to
provoke love and connection. And it works. We all need that tender touch and
provocative look. It makes us feel good.

There are more than 30,000 children in the foster care system throughout Los
Angeles County. Once they reach legal age, they are on their own, often with no place
to go, no job, family, and often with limited skills. Arzo Yusuf, executive director with
Angels Nest, is working to change that.

Angels Nest assists with transitioning youth from foster care into the world so these
children can function as thriving adults. But it's hard. Nearly 33% end up homeless,
85% are sex trafficked, and 90% end up incarcerated. Clearly, something isn't working
with these kind of statistics, and we'll talk about that and possible solutions to a
system that has been in place for decades.

Arzo's mission is to give these kids tools and finances to get a head start, providing
services from rent support, educational assistance such as tuition, books, and laptops,
groceries, and the list goes on. And she's had tremendous success.

Imaging growing up in a chaotic household, only to end up in a foster system that
abandons you. It seems unimaginable. And you can help, too.

Mimi Nichter was 20-years-old when she was on TWA flight 741 to JFK after spending
her summer on a kibbutz in Israel. But her flight was hijacked and redirected to Jordan
where passengers were held captive for six days in unimaginable conditions.
Most were sent home, but Mimi, falsely accused of being an Israeli soldier, was held
hostage along with 31 others. This is Mimi's story of survival and courage as she and
the others hostages navigated the uncharted waters of how to stay alive and find their
way home.

#Hostage recounts Mimi's dramatic time as a hostage, her release, and the aftermath
of when she returned home. She was never the same, plagued with terrifying
memories and PTSD that has haunted her for much of her life. She backpacked
across Africa and Asia trying to release the trauma, but it was only buried deep inside
of her until finally, she wrote about it. "Hostage" is her gift to herself and others facing
unimaginable circumstances and coming out a survivor.

Ever think of packing up and leaving? Let's face it, many of us have. With all the crazy
happening in our country, from gun violence to a lack of affordable housing and
healthcare, not to mention an education system that has been sub par, many have
dreamed of packing up the kids and getting out of dodge. And that's just what our
guest did.

Meet David Schnurman, successful entrepreneur and author, "Eleven Suitcases: How
Moving Abroad Changed A Family Forever," who says moving was the best thing he
and his family ever did.

Overwhelmed by the grind of raising three young kids in NY, David, the founder and
CEO of Lawline, and his wife, Kelli, made a decision in 2019 while sitting at their
kitchen table to pack up and move to Barcelona. What followed was a life of unplanned
adventure, from treks in Morocco to mountain escapes in Spain. However, there were
multiple challenges, like the lockdown, among others. But what unfolded changed their
family forever - in unexpected ways.

Now back in the States with his family and their eleven suitcases, David talks about
their experiences and how it transformed them.

Nearly 9500 homes, businesses, churches, and schools burned in the Altadena fires
last year, and many in the community are facing foreclosure on their homes because
there's been little movement to recover funds to rebuild. Rents are sky high for most,
and they simply can't make ends meet. Developers are swooping in to make low ball
offers to homeowners, and many are forced to settle because it's their only choice.
Residents aren't getting much help from local, county, or state government, either, and
it's time everyone steps up.

Meet Heavenly Hughes, longtime Altadena resident and founder of My Tribe Rise, a
grass roots organization that provides funding and resources for members of the
community in need of housing, work, and a place to turn during this critical time. The
residents of Altadena say they're trying to remain hopeful, but time is running out.
They've asked Gov. Gavin Newsom to step in to ensure homeowners don't foreclose,
because people still have to pay their mortgage even though there's no home, and
they're paying rent at the same time. It's too much. Heavenly is working every angle to
get people the help they need, and it's been a challenge. So we're talking with her
about it on our show, and I hope you'll join our conversation and do what you can, too.
You can find my full interview with Heavenly on all video and audio platforms of
#DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends, too. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt,
and it's my pleasure to welcome you here.

Then there's the explosion of AI, possible new IPO's, and how this is expected to effect the lives and livelihoods of many in our country.

"It's Time To Talk $: A Woman's Guide To Navigating Money Conversations" provides
a hands-on guide for investing and managing money, particularly for women, written
by private wealth manager Sheila Schroeder.

It's a smart guide for one's financial future, which women have traditionally not done
and left for their partners to control. This book touches upon key points from legacy
planning to learning about market trends, preparing for relationship changes, how to
get your fair market value at work (men still get paid more than women), and more.
Sheila said she decided to write this book after decades of experience working the
global markets, but it's also personal. She needed to establish her own financial
independence after navigating through a difficult childhood and watching her mother
manage life with a controlling father. She talks about that in her book, and says
planning, having an emergency fund, and learning to be financially literate is critical to
surviving on your own or within a family unit.

Please join me in welcoming Sheila Schroeder to all video and audio platforms of
#DeborahKobyltLIVE.

Lisa Price is one of the most sought-after interior designers in Los Angeles. Her clean, crisp style blends effortlessly with any genre, and she incorporates that with the needs and wants of her clients. I know, because I've been a client. But when Lisa and her family lost their home in the Palisades fire nearly one year ago, she decided to take on rebuilding with a fresh approach - using materials that are fire resistant, easy to order, install, and easy on the budget. Lisa joins us today to talk about building in the future with cost-effective measures that are sustainable, durable, and ultimately cheaper than more traditional methods. Lisa will walk us through the shock of losing her dream home in the Palisades, and how she immediately sought ways to make sure her new home could withstand any pressures nature might spring her way. For example, she is using steel instead of wood frame to rebuild, and she lists so many reasons why this is preferred, including for termites! And the steel is made from recycled cars, which is sustainable. We will also speak with Lisa about her journey as a businesswoman, starting as a staging company and ultimately selling her business to one of the largest in Los Angeles, providing her complete financial freedom. But it wasn't always so easy, and she built her business client by client, and Lisa Price Interiors has become one of the most trusted in the industry. Please join me in welcoming Lisa Price to #DeborahKobyltLIVE, and invite your friends, too. I'm your host, #DeborahZaraKobylt, and it's my pleasure to welcome you here. @lisapriceinteriors #lisapriceinteriors #InteriorDesign #lainteriors
