Episode Description
This week Jo Hausman interviews Delaine Shay who is the author of "And Then, We Laughed a Memoir of Hope & Healing. At the young age of not quite 3, in 1953, Delaine's dad accidentally backed over her four-year-old brother. Little did she realize that from that point on, she would try to live his life as well as her own. Survivor’s guilt gnawed at her for decades; she didn’t feel that she had worth just being herself. She turned to alcohol after several other scares in her life. Delaine will share with us how she first realized she was an alcoholic (thanks her to husband and a good friend Judy), the next steps she did to get sober. Then how she was brought to a childlike, robust humor that made her life shine again. With that robustness in her she wrote her book "And Then We Laughed...." Listen and learn how Delaine is the strong woman she is today! Blessings abound her.

Go For It! is an empowerment, leadership and business strategy radio show for people of all ages. I am passionate about helping people start businesses – especially women. Businesses should be considered more than just a hobby. Women need to feel empowered that they can withstand the grudging day to day life of starting and running a business and do it successfully. Teaching valuable time saving methods, marketing strategies and practices of starting and running a successful business is the purpose of this show. I do this through my amazing guests, life experiences, stories and I teach you to live in a positive light.
I want to be able to give hope and teach perseverance to people starting and running businesses. Too often people get stuck after they start a business and need the guidance to keep moving forward. Laughter is also a big part of this thing we call life. Laugh through the good times and bad but keep pushing forward to your dreams.
