During this show we discuss several different theories of Anger. We explore Sue Parker-Hall's view of Anger and Rage as two distinctly different entities which arise at different stages in our development and which have very different emotional significance. We also discuss how Parker-Hall's theory is in some ways similar to the French Psychoanalyst Jaques Lacan's view of Anger as it relates to identity. Finally, we talk about the controversy of whether Anger is a primary or secondary emotion.In other words---is anger a secondary response to underlying shame and fear or is it a primary emotion in it's own rite.

Celebrating Hollywood Baskets 1st Annual Academy Awards Swag Gift Bag. Given to nominees and presenters staying at The Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles…and to one lucky winner on This Little Parent Stayed Home National Podcast! Well it’s about time we were treated like ROYALTY!! For many of us, the mega superstars that walk the red carpet on Oscar Sunday is the only royalty we will ever really know. Where my family lives, in SoCal, Oscar Sunday is practically a holiday. This time of year everyone around us has been scrambling for months to watch the nominated films in time to be able to have their true opinions for the big day. In our younger days, we always had at least 2 or 3 Oscar parties to choose from, and although some of them were black tie optional, the only clear option was the party with the least amount of “talkers”. Because as only the serious Hollywooders know, you don’t make a peep during a Royal Superstar’s speech. It’s just… not…cool. So when Lisa Gal, a new member of OurMilkMoney.com, superstar mom and owner of Hollywood Baskets, a custom gift basket delivery service, contacted me and told me she was in charge of handing out the Swag Party Favors for the red carpet walkers and presenters themselves… well, I knew that we needed to celebrate. Lisa will be a guest on the show next week, and in honor of Oscar week, she has VERY generously offered to give away one of her Swag Party Favors to a lucky listener of This Little Parent Stayed Home. For those not familiar with the term SWAG- it stands for “Stuff We All Get”. Love that watch you saw on Clooney? Want to get the same necklace as Charlise? Wonder what was in all those swag bags on the arms of your favorite stars? Small and unknown companies have gotten mega-exposure in years past at the Academy Awards by using a cutting-edge marketing strategy of gifting and pampering celebrities and VIP’s. The baskets themselves, complete with the goodies inside can be worth anywhere from $2000- $50,000. This one is valued at OVER $7,000!! I don’t know anyone more deserving of that kind of indulgence than the everyday parents of today’s society. The question is…who will the lucky winner be? Topics today also cover using your own resources to start your own business, the power we all have as consumers, parents working in corporate America who feel enslaved by their jobs, making that leap of faith into becoming a stay-at-home parent and so much more!

On May 10, 1993 my life was changed forever because someone ran a red light. Featured on Lifetime's "Beyond Chance", CNN, Woman's Day Magazine, and top ranked WB's WGN News, my story is gaining national attention. After a life-threatening car accident, I suffered a severe brain stem injury and medically died, rating a "3", the lowest number possible on the Glascow Coma Scale. I hope my story of faith and determination offers an inspirational and practical approach to dealing with sudden changes in life. Like an oyster, I transformed the unexpected "grit" in my life into a precious pearl.
