  Scams Steal $50 Billion a Year from Seniors. Sherri Combs Is Fighting Back

  Aug 13, 202630 min

  Scams steal $50 billion a year, much of it from seniors who spent a lifetime saving and most of it is never reported. Sherri Combs saw the damage firsthand as a top private banker, watching families buckle when a stroke, a fall, or a scam turned life upside down overnight. So she built something better. In this episode, Debra Morrison sits down with Sherri Combs, CEO of Silver Streak Senior Services, founder of the nonprofit Silver Streak Senior Solutions, and bestselling author of The Just-In-Case Plan. Sherri reveals how sophisticated today's scams have become, including AI that mimics your grandchild's voice, why she calls our elders "the handshake generation," and the simple habit that protects them: Silver Streak It — pause and verify. She also shares how her vetted directory of over 130 service categories hardens the target around seniors, and why every membership dollar goes back to helping low-income seniors age in place with dignity. Her parting wisdom applies to every family: crisis turns into chaos, or it turns into calm. The difference is a plan. Sherri's free gift: download The Just-In-Case Plan workbook at thejustincaseplan.com and start the family conversation before the crisis, not after. Join our community at WeCanDoItWomen.com .

  Jul 30, 202623 min

  She was three and a half, standing in front of 200 people, when she lifted her dress over her head so no one could see her. Her mother rushed up: "Darlene, put your dress down and sing." Five decades later, that is the title of her memoir — and the philosophy of one of the most extraordinary careers in American music. IN THIS EPISODE: Growing up where creativity was a sin — and discovering the piano as her therapist at nine The listening eye technique: teaching pitch-matching to people who think they can't sing Soprano soloist on Yanni Live at the Acropolis — 1.5 billion TV viewers The tambourine-waving choir nun in both Sister Act films — hired in 60 seconds in a nun's habit she already owned Recording with Pink Floyd, Barbra Streisand, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and over 1,000 sessions total Grammy Award, three nominations, MVP Best Session Singer A dog fight shattered her hand at 48 — five years to recover full use Launching her own record label at 55 with no manager and no agent — Billboard chart hits and a number one radio record Hearing her own song play in the hospital while they cast her broken wrist Put Your Dress Down and Sing : the memoir, the message, and why it matters to every woman in this audience EPISODE SUMMARY: Darlene built a career almost no one could replicate — and then reinvented it in her 50s, entirely on her own terms. Her pivot to solo indie artist, her own label, 14 albums, Billboard entries, and an Indie Music Hall of Fame induction at the Grammy Museum are proof that the most creative years don't have to be behind you. Her message: put your dress down and sing. Whatever your stage, whatever your song. ABOUT DARLENE: Grammy winner, five-octave soprano, sonic therapist, memoirist, and founder of Time Art Recordings.

  Alcohol Is a Known Cause of Breast Cancer. Most Oncologists Never Tell Their Patients.

  Jul 23, 202625 min

  She woke up in the night with a feeling she couldn't explain. The mammogram letter said she was clear. She went back anyway. The radiographer found a five-and-a-half centimeter tumor the scans had missed for five years. His words: "I can see a woman with potentially life-saving instincts." Tabbin Almond trusted herself. It saved her life. IN THIS EPISODE: London advertising in the 1980s — lunches with Apple, Pepsi, Gillette, and a drinking culture nobody questioned How Devon, an absent husband, and two small children became a bottle of wine every night Hypnotherapy that worked for seven and a half years — until a cancer diagnosis broke through The mammogram that missed everything — and the instinct that didn't Alcohol as a known cause of breast cancer — and why her oncology team never mentioned it The prosecco photograph: celebrating the end of radiotherapy before she knew the truth The shame spiral of problem drinking: rules, broken promises, self-loathing, not answering the phone Wine to Water Coaching, The Alcohol Debate Podcast, and a business book shortlisted for Book of the Year Finishing on the HYROX podium at 66 after surgeons said she'd never lift her arm above her shoulder EPISODE SUMMARY: Tabbin's story has three acts: recognition (drinking that felt normal until it wasn't), instinct (trusting a feeling that saved her life when the medical system missed it), and transformation (turning survival into a mission). Now alcohol-free, thriving at 66, and coaching individuals and corporations on alcohol's hidden costs, she shares the information she wishes someone had given her — and the freedom she found when she finally did the work herself. ABOUT TABBIN: Certified alcohol freedom coach, Amazon bestseller, host of The Alcohol Debate Podcast, and founder of Wine to Water Coaching. HYROX competitor at 66. Based in Devon, England.

  Teresa Phillips: From Trauma to Triumph — Finding Your Voice and Self-Love After Abuse

  Jul 16, 202626 min

  She won a chair in all-state band. The director turned her away. She put down her instrument and didn't pick it up again for decades. When she finally played again, it was at her father's funeral. Teresa Phillips has lived more than most — and turned every piece of it into a lantern for someone else. IN THIS EPISODE: An alcoholic father, a baby brother lost after 18 hours, two abusive relationships, a husband who tried to kill her How unprocessed trauma became panic attacks, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue Moving to Texas to care for her father — and how his death cracked open everything she'd buried The inner voice that said "Teresa, you have to change" — and why she finally listened The Framework of the Self: self-love, self-respect, self-confidence, self-appreciation — unpacked Why self-love is the hardest first step — and why abuse makes us stop loving ourselves first How her father gave her music back, one hour a week, before he died Forgiveness as freedom: not for them — to break your own chains The morning routine that changed everything: sunrise, yoga, meditation, gratitude journal Missteps, not mistakes — still moving, never stopped EPISODE SUMMARY: Teresa built the Framework of the Self not from a textbook but from decades of survival. Abuse, grief, chronic illness, and decades of silenced pain — all of it cracked open when her father died and she had to face what she had never processed. Four steps, taken one baby step at a time, rebuilt everything. She collects phoenixes because she is one. ABOUT TERESA: Speaker, podcaster, voiceover artist, singer, and musician. Creator of the Framework of the Self. Host of Open the Eye podcast. Broadcaster on KWVH 94.3 FM.

  Why Your Teenager Can’t Talk to You — and What to Do Starting Today

  Jul 9, 202627 min

  She grew up with an alcoholic mother she never saw sober. At 11 she moved to her father's — safer, but still emotionally alone. Tatjana Simakova spent her childhood surviving without support. She spent the next 12 years making sure no teenager has to do the same. IN THIS EPISODE: Growing up in Lithuania — an alcoholic mother, an emotionally absent father, and the art that kept her going Why 12 years with teenagers led to one conclusion: the parent-child relationship is everything How art therapy reached a 13-year-old Traveller boy who had no words for his grief The three-part workshop: group chat, meditation, then whatever arrives on paper — no explanation needed Why teenagers are in constant fight-or-flight on Snapchat — and what it costs their self-esteem The mirror in Tatjana's office — and the teenagers who can't turn to look at themselves One meal a day, no gadgets: the simplest first step any parent can take Salvos Parenting: the online village for parents who need community and professionals in one place Practicing in English, Russian, and Lithuanian — why mother tongue is the first language of emotion EPISODE SUMMARY: Tatjana discovered in 12 years of clinical work what her own childhood had already taught her: when a teenager has at least one trusting relationship with a parent, they can survive almost anything. Without it, everything is harder. Art therapy gave her the tool to bridge the gap — not because teenagers draw well, but because paint and paper carry what words cannot. Her new Salvos Parenting platform builds the village that parents desperately need: community, professionals, resources, and a safe place to ask questions without judgment. ABOUT TATJANA: Psychotherapist and art therapist, County Clare, Ireland. 12 years working with teenagers and families. Practicing in English, Russian, and Lithuanian. Founder of Salvos Parenting.
