In The Western Mass. Business Show

Join us as we hear an update on Rachel Martins and her coaching business for parents. Bouncing off our first conversation from a year ago, Rachel helps us reimagine what a different relationship might look like with your kids. One where you are coming from a place of love vs. fear. How to talk so your kids will listen is not only the volume at which you speak but also the control and non-judgement that you show up with. How can you focus on self-care to have a full well so that you can be the best parent you can be? What do you have control over vs. what you are worrying about that you can’t control. As a Mom of 17, 13, and 11 she has real world and lived experience through her Master’s in Education and her work as a teacher in the classroom. What red flags will you hear from this episode that might make you reach out to her? How to break the cycles of overwhelm so that you can come out a better person and role model of self-care to your kids. To find out more tune in and go to www.rachelmartinscoaching.com

The Hustler Files Ep 72

In The Hustler Files

IT’S EP. #72, SO LET’S REVIEW, WITH SPECIAL GUEST, PRODUCER JESS TYLER

With a guest gap for this week’s show, Creator/Host, Lisa Reilly, thought it would be fun to introduce her Hustler Files Producer Jess Tyler and chat about their favorite shows, since launching The Hustler Files in February 2023.  It’s because of Jess that The Hustler Files sounds so great each week! And it’s not a coincidence that it does! Jess has been in radio for as long as she can remember.  She’s a long-time radio Jock, producer and program director.  She’s a crime/drama junkie and so her passion for The Hustler Files platform and the guests that we have the privilege to chat with each week, is right in her wheelhouse!  This was a fun episode to make, and we hope you enjoy something a bit different for this week’s show/podcast.
