   S4E14: Moving Forward: Enduring Connections & Advocacy with Jennifer Struffert

   What happens when the career you thought you would retire from suddenly disappears? For Jennifer Struffert, losing a 20-year corporate career became the beginning of something much more meaningful. Today, she is the founder of Enduring Connections and Advocacy, where she helps people navigate divorce, co-parenting, conflict, and difficult family transitions through mediation, coaching, and parenting coordination. In this episode of Diary of a Dreamer, Jennifer and I talk honestly about what it looks like to leave a path that no longer fits, rebuild your life, and turn difficult experiences into work that helps other people. We talk about divorce mediation, co-parenting, divorce coaching, parenting coordination, healthy relationships, trauma healing, nervous system regulation, and finding the right support system during difficult seasons. Jennifer also shares why she believes people don't have to navigate divorce and co-parenting struggles alone and why the goal of coaching should ultimately be to give people the tools they need to move forward independently. If you or someone you know is navigating divorce, separation, co-parenting, or high-conflict parenting, this conversation is a reminder that you don't have to figure everything out alone.

   S4E13: Public Libraries: Pocket Homeschool with Melissa Brander

   Your local library might be one of the best (and most overlooked) resources for your small business. In this episode of Diary of a Dreamer, Tasha Eizinger talks with Melissa Brander, founder of Pocket Homeschool and Smart Homeschool Society, about how entrepreneurs and small-business owners can use public libraries to learn, connect, research, create, and grow. Libraries have evolved far beyond books. They can provide access to business education, professional development, specialized databases, online courses, technology, Makerspaces, affordable printing, event space, networking opportunities, and connections to community resources. Many of these resources are available at little or no cost. One of the best pieces of advice from this conversation? Ask your librarian. Don't assume your library doesn't have a resource simply because you don't know about it. Ask: "What do you have for small-business owners?" If you need something your library doesn't have? Ask if they can get it. For entrepreneurs, especially those running small or local businesses, the library can function as an affordable extension of your business toolkit. Instead of immediately paying for an expensive course, software, database, printing service, event space, or piece of specialized equipment, check whether your local library already provides access. Melissa and Tasha also discuss an important part of supporting libraries: actually using them. Community usage helps demonstrate demand for programs, resources, and funding. If we want strong public libraries in our communities, we need to participate in them. Diary of a Dreamer with Tasha Eizinger explores entrepreneurship, small-business growth, resilience, personal development, self-belief, education, and the real stories behind pursuing meaningful dreams.

   S4E12: Business Resilience: Kercher's Apple Orchard with "Mrs. Apple"

   What can a 104-year-old family apple orchard teach us about entrepreneurship, resilience, and surviving hard times? In this episode of Diary of a Dreamer, Tasha Eizinger talks with Maureen Kercher of Kercher's Apple Orchard in Goshen, Indiana, about what it really takes to build a resilient family business. From a devastating hailstorm that destroyed approximately 265,000 bushels of apples to today's labor challenges, weather risks, agricultural technology, diversification, and agritourism, Maureen shares practical lessons that apply far beyond farming. You'll learn about small business resilience, entrepreneurship, business diversification, employee retention, labor solutions, agritourism, family businesses, and adapting to change. This is a conversation about what happens when you can't control the circumstances, but you can control how you respond. Subscribe to Diary of a Dreamer for conversations about entrepreneurship, resilience, personal growth, and pursuing meaningful dreams.
