Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Sergio Liden

Deborah Kobylt LiveBy deborahkobylt April 6, 2021

Sergio wrote the book because more and more families have children diagnosed with autism. As an example, in the United States, 1 in every 54 children is diagnosed, which means the topic is one which is extremely relatable and requires understanding. His son was diagnosed with autism when he was three. He says “I had experience as a dad of an autistic son, but my daughter — as a sibling, has the greatest experience with autism.”
He wrote His Own Way because there were no children’s books focusing on the effects that an autistic child has on their siblings — and how their personal and emotional needs sometimes get
idetracked or ignored.

Deborah Kobylt LIVE: Patrice Shavone Brown

Deborah Kobylt LiveBy deborahkobylt March 17, 2021

Most people think “big girls” have low self esteem and don’t feel sexy, says author Patrice Shavone Brown, but she’s not having it. Patrice may not be a size six, and she’s cool with that. In fact, she’s happy, feels beautiful in her own skin, and writes all about her journey as a woman of size in her latest book, “A Fat Girl’s Confidence. I’m Fat. So What?” Patrice tells DeborahZaraKobylt she’s tired of media deciding that bigger ladies are of less value because they aren’t stick thin. Her mission is to empower others to own their worth, regardless of size.
Patrice has worked two decades as a mental health counselor. She’s a mother of two, lost her mom and best friend in 2017, and says she’s been through a lot in her life and can help others navigate their own rough patch. “It’s hard, yet life is what you make it. And it’s full of twists and turns,” Patrice Shavone Brown shares. I hope you enjoy our show with this inspiring lady. There’s a lot of wisdom to gain here, starting with self love and acceptance
