  • 224: Naseem was run over 3 times
    If you have children, you’ve probably thought at some point, “Am I a good parent?”   It’s natural to question our own abilities sometimes. Do I spend enough time with my kids? Do they feel safe? Do they feel loved? Are they comfortable talking with me about anything that’s going on in their life?   My kids are adults now. When I think back to when they were growing up, there are things I would have done differently if I knew back then what I know now. But that’s not really fair though. I know I did the best I could at the time. And they still turned out to be great adults and I’m really proud of them.   My guest today is Naseem. She has 3 kids. And there was a time when she found herself wondering about how she was doing as a parent. Wondering if her children knew how much she loved them.   It’s interesting the thoughts that come into your head, when you’re being run over by a car.   Naseem’s book, The Unexpected Benefits of Being Run Over: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW3LK86X/   If you’d like to contact Nassem, you can do that through her website: https://LifeUnbreakable.com   Naseem’s Instagram: https://Instagram.com/nasrocs   Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/224   Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

  • 223: Ross was shot while sleeping
    In an ideal world, children should be able to trust their parents. After all, it’s the grown-ups in the family who are responsible for the kids. No child should ever have to worry about safety when mom and dad are around for protection - in an ideal world.   That’s the world Ross thought he was living in when he was 8 years old, with his older brother Ryan, who was 10. They were happy kids with no reason to be afraid. Until one night at their home in Charlotte, North Carolina, when his mother told his father she wanted a divorce. That’s when something snapped in Ross’s dad’s mind, and he got a gun, and forever changed the history of their family.   This is a Flashback episode. Ross was 21 when we first had this conversation, and he’s permanently blind. At the time, he was training to swim in the Summer 2020 Paralympics in Tokyo.   Now he’s 27, and I spoke with him again recently, so you’ll be able to learn what’s happened in his life since he originally appeared on the podcast, and what his plans are for the future. Ross is a pretty amazing young man and I think you’ll enjoy this episode.   If you’d like to contact Ross: Instagram: @RossMinorOfficial YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BlindRossMinor Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/rossminor   Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/223   Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.

  • 222: Scott was locked up in a foreign jail
    As human beings, we are often very protective of our own sense of personal justice – and injustice.   When I was a child, I had a teacher who – to me – seemed very unfair. If one of the kids in the class did something like write a bad word on the chalkboard, she would ask the entire class who did it. She really did her best to find the culprit, and carry out punishment.   But sometimes she just couldn’t figure it out. No one would admit it, and there wasn’t enough evidence to pin it on any specific student.   So her solution was – the whole class loses recess for the whole day. Definitely not fair! It always bugged me when that happened – I was being punished even though I hadn’t done anything wrong.   My guest today, Scott, was also a victim of injustice, but on a much larger scale. He was charged with a crime that he didn’t commit, and was held in a foreign jail for far too long. This is one of those stories where you just can’t predict what’s coming next.   And if you’re an American, it might just make you think twice before traveling outside the US.     If you’d like to contact Scott:  [email protected]   Full show notes and pictures for this episode are here: https://WhatWasThatLike.com/222   Graphics for this episode by Bob Bretz.
