Angela Gillmeister once lived FOR her next vacation. Now she is a custom vacation designer, but specifically, she is here for women who want to find their 'whys' and the purpose in their travels.

And in a person's last season of life, they need someone to come alongside them and help them through it.” -Chaplain John Wenderlein, today’s guest. **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. ** On this episode, I have the privilege of speaking with Chaplain John Wenderlein, who is a hospice chaplain. Before you leave thinking this might sound too sad, hear how John frames his beautiful work. His care and passion for being with people at the end of their lives is a needed reminder of the goodness of people: both those who do what John does, and those sharing their stories of a life well-lived. We discuss: -What is hospice -What does a hospice chaplain do, & the misconceptions -Seeing opportunity in everything we do -The power of people & connection -Navigating meeting patients & their families at this chapter -Joining the navy at 40 years old & starting his chaplain journey there From the bio: John Wenderlein lives in Debary, Florida, with his wife of many years, Melinda.

After loving creating stained glass as a young adult, Margaret then shifted her focus to her growing family and other aspects of life, her art supplies packed away in her Madison, NJ basement. But this was a ‘see you later’ not a ‘goodbye’-- a great reminder to all of us that we can step away from one passion to focus on another, and it does not have to mean we are leaving it forever. Fast forward more than 25 years, Margaret’s daughter asked about the boxes in the basement. They took out the supplies, and Margaret began again– with a twist. With all the pieces she was creating, she realized she had a way of giving back, and began donating 100% of the sales of ALL her works to charities. Four years later, this continues, and she has donated $15,700 thus far (perhaps even more since this writing!). **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. ** Additionally, we chat about: -Looking to ways we can utilize our skills to give back -Silent auctions, creating, & community involvement -Stories of Madison, NJ and people she has met through this work -How Margaret chooses the organizations to which she donates -How a hobby can be such a source ‘for good’ Connect with Margaret: Instagram @glass4good2020 tinyurl.com/glass4good2020 **It's your host, Kate Cherichello Tente, here -- Thanks for listening!

Embracing Empathy & Exploration with Jennifer Apple, Ep. 133 Something I really appreciate about this episode is the deep dive into how we show up every day—for ourselves and others—and how we can embrace the inner work that artists experience. Jennifer Apple, an NYC-based actor, coach, and more, joins me today on Be The Good with Kate. Let’s explore… **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. ** We talk: -being a multi-hyphenate (that word returns again!) -the realization of ‘the more I know the less I know’ -seeking to understand -the artist’s mentality and how we can all embrace that in our interactions -empathy, and how much we all need it -how Jennifer helps actors, and what we all can learn from the acting world Jennifer Apple has performed across the country in a variety of productions including the lead in "The Band's Visit" First National Tour as well as television and film.

So welcome back to Be The Good with Kate, today a short episode with what I hope is a message that sticks with you. I may be preaching to the choir as they say, so if you, listener, are saying Yes! That’s correct! I know this already! Then perhaps forward to someone who might be able to use this as well, and let’s continue to work towards bringing the value of the arts to the forefront… Who are we talking about today? Theater kids. When are we talking? Childhood to start. How does theater play an important role? Why does theater play an important role? Where? Well, my story starts in New Jersey and community theater…How about yours? Did you grow up belting every word of the Annie, Sound of Music, and Beauty and the Beast soundtracks? Did you spend weekends memorizing dances and lines? Did you bond with amazing friends and families in the halls surrounding the auditorium? Are you still waiting for your chance to play Maria in Sound of Music somewhere, anywhere?? (That last one might just be me?) I hope you enjoy this brief episode but are also inspired by what it contains. The reminder, or perhaps realization, of all that the arts offer. It doesn’t mean we have to become professional actors (heck no!). It could mean becoming a successful mathematician. A chemist creating a new medicine. A teacher finding new ways to engage with students. A parent connecting with their child. Listen and let me know your thoughts. Thanks to all who find ways to support the arts and recognize the way it affects our lives. **It's your host, Kate Cherichello Tente, here -- Thanks for listening!

Show Notes from Season 8: Focus on New Jersey Doing Good. Fall 2024.
Words like 'Transitions', 'Change', 'Grief', & 'Passions', Ep. 124 A moment for author Julia Cameron today... First, thank you to all the guests who inspired us this season, and as a bonus, shed a light on my new/old state of New Jersey. As return listeners know, I am from New Jersey, left it for over a decade, and celebrated coming back by highlighting people doing good in this small but mighty state of NJ all season here on Be The Good with Kate. Along this theme of moving and change, I recently picked up a book I read many, many years ago: Transitions, by Julia Cameron, most known for her bestselling book, The Artist’s Way. With the theme of Be The Good with Kate being following your passions and making a difference along the way, I know that those of us trying to follow our passions do face plenty of transitions– sometimes planned, sometimes thrust upon us. I am not claiming to be wise in this regard, but Julia and the people she quotes in this little book sure impart a lot of wisdom to readers. In case you don’t have the opportunity to pick it up, let me share a few snippets that intrigued me in various ways… Thank you for listening, and please do not hesitate to reach out to let me know what resonated with you here today. I love hearing from you. @positively_kate or katecherichello.com/bethegood If you know someone who could use this boost, send them the link to the show, or share on social. Let’s spread a little more good news today. Thriving Through the Preschool Years with Danielle Lindner, Ep. 123 How do you go about creating an entire school from scratch? And why would you do it? Why do parents need to focus on the what, why, and how their children are learning as young as preschool? This kindergarten teacher-turned-school founder, coach, and author joins us today to share a bit about all of the above. Danielle Lindner is the founder of London Day School in Florham Park, NJ, which is working to reimagine the traditional preschool. Danielle is also a parenting coach working with parents of children 18 months to 8 years of age virtually anywhere in the country, and the author of 'Parent’s Pocket Guide to Surviving the Preschool Years: One Challenge at a Time'. ** Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. ** Today we talk: -Executive functioning in children -The immensity of knowledge very young children take in, learn, and remember the rest of their lives -In preschool, self-esteem, confidence in STEM, speaking up for yourself, even how to say ‘no’ nicely -Opening a school requirements (over 900 boxes to check to pass) -Finding the right teachers From her bio: “Danielle is a highly-rated inspirational speaker with 20+ years of experience as an educator, coach, author, and expert in early childhood education and parenting. Danielle works with individuals, groups, and organizations to inspire and guide them in fostering peaceful, positive young learners.

She can also be seen in Miss Danielle's Preschoolbuds now playing on Amazon Prime. She has been seen on CBS, ABC, FOX, The CW, NBC and featured in The Huffington Post, LA Parent, Bay Area Parent, SWAY, The Readers Digest and more.” How One Mom is Helping Raise the Bar on Maternal Mental Health: Colleen Imler, Ep. 122 Every single one of us came from a mother. There’s no way around that entry into the world. Yet why has maternal health taken such a backseat in our society for so long? People like today’s guest on Be The Good with Kate are working to change that. **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. ** Colleen Imler, a mom of two little girls, has battled postpartum depression, anxiety, and isolation from covid, while also finding the joy, the modern definition of ‘village’, and her way of helping others going through the emotional roller coaster of having a child. She is a communications and public relations professional by day and an advocate for mental health by night. Around the clock she is a mom, wife, sister, daughter and friend. Although Colleen explains she felt like “who am I to be writing a book on motherhood,” she followed the pull on her heart to do so, and Becoming a Parent: 16 Truths and a Lie, is now published. It recounts her personal birth story and struggles as a new parent, and the challenges of having a baby during the pandemic. In this episode, she shares with us what ‘’the lie’’ is, too :). We talk: –The major identity shift in becoming a mother – Putting a name to what she was going through, and how that helped her – “You're going to miss your old self, and that's okay.” – How much writing helped her – Baby #1 challenges vs baby #2 challenges – 20% of all of her book royalties go to postpartum support organizations Your Kind of Cuts, A Sensory-Friendly Barbershop, Ep. 121 Today on Be The Good with Kate: Your Kind of Cuts, a sensory friendly barbershop located in Nutley, NJ. **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. ** One, of many, points that sticks out to me in this episode, is how Billy did not want to focus on how a child was ‘different’, but rather that each child is simply a person who needs a haircut. The fact they are a part of the autism community or grappling with another challenge makes no difference to Billy, Roe, and Giacomo of Your Kind of Cuts – yet it makes such a difference to the child and their family. Billy says, “I just show up and be Billy”. He has no specific training in working with neurodivergent children, yet watching him interact with them and their families, you would certainly not know it. His joy and passion for helping is palpable, his creativity in finding ways to work with any child who walks through the door is amazing, and his humor shines through. He had me laughing throughout our chat. As a child, Billy was in the foster system, explaining that it helped him become a good judge of character. He was in cosmetology school full-time at age 39, unemployed, with a second child being born, and here is yet another example from a guest on this podcast that one, it is never too late, and two, if you feel strongly about doing something, with focus and determination you can achieve a whole lot. Billy opened Your Kind of Cuts, and he has a goal of more such barbershops across the country. Billy stresses, don’t be afraid: be it as a child facing something that scares you, or as an adult with an opportunity to open your own business. Look at what good can come out of it. Anyone looking to become a barber with the added level of care and service seen at Your Kind of Cuts, reach out to Billy or stop by! yourkindofcuts . net Less Pain, More Gain with Par5PT's Dr. Paul Kochoa, ep. 120 Today’s guest looks beyond physical health in his practice as a doctor of physical therapy and board-certified orthopedic specialist working each day to get active adults back to doing the things they love to do without pain meds, injections, or surgery; even if they've tried PT before. Dr. Paul Kochoa says, “My mission is to change how people think about physical therapy - that it's more than the traditional medical model. We can create change with proper treatment and correction, assessing the whole body and working to 100% of a person's goals, and not just be pain-free.” We talk: -Getting to the root of pain -Finding ways to excel in #physicalhealth without pain meds or surgery -Niches like #pickleball -A path that started nowhere near #physicaltherapy & how you needn’t stress about being in your ‘long-term’ career by college graduation! Paul went back for his doctorate many years later… **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. Here we talk to individuals who are doing just that, individuals from all walks of life and industries. Something I love about human connection and inspiration is how you needn’t be from the same place or a similar background to get so much out of hearing from a person – In fact, I think it is better that way– We notice how we as humans are so similar in so many ways, and how EACH of us has so much power to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others. I hope you are inspired here to start, restart, or continue your journey of finding your passions and helping others along the way.** How appropriate that October is #NationalPhysicalTherapyMonth!

A Doctor Changing Patient Interaction for the Better with Dr. Nidal Humoee, Pediatric Hospitalist & Author, Ep. 118 Today let’s look at how doctors and patients interact– and further, how we interact with all those we encounter. Dr. Nidal Humoee is a pediatric hospitalist at Hunterdon Medical Center, as well as an author, focusing on relationships and attitude. He explains: “A relationship is a two-way interaction. Each party bears responsibility for his own intention and attitude.” Originally born in Syria, Dr. Humoee now is a long-time resident of Hunterdon County, New Jersey with his family. **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way. Here we talk to individuals who are doing just that, individuals from all walks of life and industries. Something I love about human connection and inspiration is how you needn’t be from the same place or a similar background to get so much out of hearing from a person – In fact, I think it is better that way– We notice how we as humans are so similar in so many ways, and how EACH of us has so much power to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others. I hope you are inspired here to start, restart, or continue your journey of finding your passions and helping others along the way.** Dr. Humoee recently released his first book, Re-relate Through Relational Lenses, where he examines the importance of attitude in intimacy, listening, and settling differences. Dr. Humoee incorporates his Christian faith as well as experiences in life both personally and professionally to bring together a focus on relational lenses. Yes, despite being a busy doctor, husband, and father, he decided to write a book – because he saw a need, saw something that was lacking in human connection, and wanted to find a way to make a difference even further than his own hospital interactions. We talk about how doctors can better be present in patient interactions, and how these tactics and this awareness is crucial in all of our relationships. Find Dr. Humoee’s book, Re-relate Through Relational Lenses, on Amazon and in select Hunterdon County businesses. Body Image & Nutrition, Postpartum & Beyond: Alexandra Paetow, Registered Dietician, Ep. 117 Today’s guest is a registered dietician who is passionate about helping women, particularly moms, heal disordered eating and nourish their bodies and their families so they can lead more fulfilling lives. **Welcome to Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way.

I hope you are inspired here to start, restart, or continue your journey of finding your passions and helping others along the way.** Alexandra Paetow, RD, has a virtual private practice in New Jersey and lives in South Orange with her husband and three young children. She explains: “So much of the current information we hear about nutrition is from a lens of restriction instead of nourishment; and the narrative around bodies is that smaller is better and you should change your body to achieve health and happiness. For new moms that narrative is quite loud. Parents also are overwhelmed with trying to achieve the "perfect" nutrition for their kids, feeling like they can never measure up. My work is in trying to combat these messages to prioritize nourishment in an attainable way and healing your relationship with food and your body so you can live your life without the burden of that negative diet/body shaming noise running the show and give the same to your kids.” More about Alexandra: linktr.ee/postpartumnutritionist Be An Upstander! with Lynne Azarchi, Director of Empathy, Children's Home Society/Kidsbridge, Ep. 116 Welcome to a new season of Be The Good with Kate, the show where guests leave you inspired to uncover your passions, and discover tangible ways to make a difference along the way.

While we have featured guests from Bali to Utah, Florida to Japan, and just about everywhere in between, this season we are going uber-local with my new/old state of New Jersey. New Jersey? But why? And why should I care? Because your host, that’s me, Kate Cherichello Tente, is a New Jersey native but long-time Manhattan resident– that is until just a few months ago. As I rediscover my home state, I wanted to bring on some guests doing good here. But just like in prior seasons, something I love about human connection and inspiration is how you certainly don’t need to be from the same place or a similar background to get so much out of hearing from a person – In fact, I think it is better that way– We notice how we as humans are so similar in so many ways, and how EACH of us has so much power to make a difference in our own lives and the lives of others. And I hope you are inspired here to start, restart, or continue your journey of finding your passions and helping others along the way.
