Kathryn interviews Author Lori R.Sackler.MONEY. It's still the elephant in every family's living room. Planning for a family's future often prompts a total breakdown in communication, causing lasting damage. Statistics show most families fail to successfully transfer assets from one generation to the next, resulting in not only a loss of assets but a loss of family harmony. Radio personality and financial advisor Lori Sackler introduces the concept of "Money Talks", mindful conversations that help families communicate dispassionately about money matters through all of life's transitions — changes in financial circumstances, remarriage and merging families, retirement, preparing heirs, and transferring wealth. Sackler is a certified investment management analyst, a certified financial planner and the creator and former host of the radio show "The M Word" on WOR in New York City.Kathryn also interviews Author Lynn Hightower.After nine months of sorrow and grief, Junie Lagarde — a brilliant forensic accountant and passionate guitarist — is gradually accepting life without her beloved husband Olivier, a French safety consultant and climate-change expert, whom she lost in a plane crash over Mont Blanc. Was it really an accident? And what happened to her loyal hearing dog Leo, who ran off in the aftermath of the crash, disappearing into the dangerous mountain terrain? But then Junie receives an unexpected call from France. Internationally bestselling author Lynn Hightower brings us a story of grief, of a dangerous mountain with a dark history, of corruption and greed, of ecoterrorism . . . and of a vulnerable woman with hearing loss, an injured dog and a broken heart, who'll stop at nothing to uncover the truth. Her novels have been included in The NY Times List of Notable Books, the London Times' bestseller lists, and the WH Smith Fresh Talent Awards.
