Mother’s Day Edition - Planning for Grieving Mothers with Carrie Gibson
Hello again Wine and Dime listeners! Mother’s day is a time to honor those special women in our lives that we call mom (or that feel like mom). But what if you are a mom that has lost a child? What is mother’s day like for you? Carrie and Amy explore this topic and how we can show support and friendship to those special women who are grieving and the event she is planning with another month to develop support for each other.
As a reminder, Carrie’s full story can be found in Episode #97 of Wine and Dime
My ability to adapt to different situations in life came from growing up in a professional baseball family, which made it necessary to jump in and out of schools across the country each year (sometimes 4 moves per year). I also am a mother of two boys, having lost the eldest in 2017, when he was 29 and unmarried. I was forced into learning what needed to be done to handle his finances and affairs without any guidance.
No grieving mom is ever alone in the way she feels daily. There are thousands of grieving moms who feel the same way she does. Although each person "deals" with the loss differently, we have all felt the same emotions at some point. Also, since the death of one's child affects every aspect of one's life, it is imperative that individuals who have never experienced the loss of a child understand what a grieving mom goes through emotionally and mentally. Finally, a grieving mom needs to know there are some things that need to be considered and addressed (especially when it comes to an adult child who is single) from a legal and financial perspective.
In my book, Never Alone in the Darkness The Shared Journey of Losing a Child, I write about how to handle an adult deceased child's student loan debt, taxes, paychecks, leased vehicles.

The Shared Journey of Losing a Child was written by a grieving mother who lost her oldest child in 2017. Feeling isolated, walking on the edge between reality and insanity, she had no idea if what she was feeling was normal. Had other mothers experienced the same emotions when they went through the nightmare of their loss? Finding purpose in her pain, she put her deepest emotions into words so other mothers would always have a reference to read, at any given point in their grief, to identify with a mother who knew firsthand what they were feeling. It was her hope these grieving mothers would then never feel alone in their own journey. She also discovered her words provided a better understanding of grieving mothers to those who had never experienced the unimaginable darkness of losing a child.

There’s bourbon. And then there’s divine inspiration painstakingly crafted into a spirit so sublime you’ll want to share it with the world. We make the second one. ANGEL’S ENVY is what happens when 200 years of bourbon tradition meet an independent master craftsman’s instinct to improve. It’s a total return to the art of craft-first, hand blended batches of 8 to 12 barrels at a time.
We personally taste every barrel throughout each step of the aging process to ensure that the spirits meet our perfectionist standards. This would be enough for any other premium bourbon, but we think you deserve more. That’s why we finish every one of our whiskeys in hand-selected finishing barrels. For an added layer of flavor and complexity, our bourbon and special cask strength are finished in ruby port casks, and our rye is finished in rum barrels. There’s no set time for this process.
It’s only Angel’s Envy when we say it is.

Live with Plum founder Justine Chan
Welcome to this edition of Wine and Dime with Amy Irvine. I'm thrilled to have another woman who is involved with finance on the show today but in a different way. Justine Chan is going to be talking to us about a new website that she's created called “Live With Plum”.
She was a first-time home buyer, she muddled through the process and she loved learning more and more about it. Five years, four apartments and one license later, she's much more knowledgeable and here to share her knowledge with you. We hope you enjoy the show, so, sit on back, sip your favorite beverage and enjoy!
Justine Chan
It all started in 2014, when I bought my first apartment in New York City. I was 25 and eager to lay down some roots but felt utterly confused by the convoluted process of buying a home.
To begin, I met with multiple real estate agents and ultimately ended up using one (whom I liked by the way!) but I barely knew this person so why would I blindly entrust him with such a big and important purchase? And so, I embarked on a personal education campaign…
I searched online endlessly but the information was fragmented, contradictory and oftentimes trying to sell me a mortgage product I didn’t need yet. I then tried buying books, thinking that the information would at least have credibility, and while more helpful than online listicles, the books were not updated as frequently as needed in today’s rapidly changing real estate landscape.
Eventually, I did find and buy a teeny tiny 350 sqft studio apartment I loved… but frankly, I abhorred the process of getting there. It felt like I researched and had more control over my skincare regime than I did with my first home purchase!
Fast forward 5 years later, I go on to purchase 3 more apartment units in the NY/NJ area and earn my real estate license while working full-time. Now, I want to use my experience and knowledge to help and empower other women towards achieving their homebuying dreams.

Exploring What It's Like to be a Woman with Jodi Flynn
Welcome to this edition of Wine & Dime with Amy Irvine. I'm thrilled to have Jodi Flynn as our guest today. Jodi is the author of the book, “Accomplished: How to go From Dreaming To Doing.” She runs a podcast called “Women Taking The Lead,” and she's a coach and her company is called Women Taking The Lead.
I think you're gonna just enjoy the conversation that the two of us have around insecurities, around self-doubt, around ways that we can get together and talk about and overcome those items. She works with a lot of women like me who are Type A and have gotten so wrapped up in what they're doing and accomplishing that they don't know who they are anymore.
We hope you enjoy this edition of another strong woman for women's history month. Where we explore what it's like to be a woman, enjoy privileges that we now have,thank those that have come before us, and get to stand on their shoulders.
Sit back, sip your favorite glass of wine and enjoy this episode with Jody Flynn.

I help my driven, high performing clients achieve their biggest goals with ease by identifying and overcoming the obstacles that are getting in their way. I LOVE working with my clients. I’ve been coaching long enough to know who my ideal clients are and because of that, when we work together, we both get energized.
I specialize in working with Type A women because I am one myself. If you aren’t sure if you’re Type A listen to these two episodes of Women Taking the Lead (if you are Type A you’re going to gasp and laugh along with me):
Decoding What It Means to Be Type A
Being a Psychology major in college gave me the human insight needed as an executive in mutual fund operations; I found I flourished in the areas of supervising, mentoring, project management and team building.
There I discovered my personal mission – to listen for, bring out and nurture other’s strengths so they could use them to their advantage. In 2010, I seized the opportunity to train as a Professional Coach through the Institute of Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC).
Taking pride in ‘walking my talk’, I take on challenges that push me outside of my own comfort zone – from following my passion for a career that moved me away from my family and friends to a new state, running a marathon, starting a business, launching the Women Taking the Lead Podcast and writing a book.
I feel the same fear others do when “putting myself out there” but I know that is the path to living full-out, and I love to encourage others to overcome their fears and do the same.
Today, as the Founder of Women Taking the Lead, I coach, facilitate workshops, host the Women Taking the Lead podcast and lead a thriving community of women in leadership. I am also the President of the Board for The Maine Women’s Conference and a member of Business Networking International (BNI).
Women Taking the Lead Podcast
Launched in 2015, the Women Taking the Lead podcast grew quickly and shot to the #1 position in iTunes New and Noteworthy in three categories: Business, Careers, and Society and Culture.
The podcast was named by Forbes Magazine as one of The Top 18 Women-Led Podcasts You Need To Download Now, and The Best Podcasts For Female Entrepreneurs.
Entrepreneur Magazine named Women Taking the Lead one of 24 Exceptional Women-Hosted Podcasts for Entrepreneurs.
The podcast was also listed in Patrick Bet-David’s, The Top Blogs And Podcasts For Female Entrepreneurs.
Created for women looking to make an impact, the goal of Women Taking the Lead is to inspire ambitious, go-getting women to overcome self-doubt so they can lead with confidence, integrity and a sense of humor.
Listen to the interviews, on-air coaching calls, or 100% Jodi episodes to get motivated and in-action toward your goals.

On Thursday night, we participated in a live Wine and Dime Virtual session that explained the actions of both federal reserve and the government, and why I think the economy will recover in time. We wish you all health and safety and hope you get to kick back with your favorite "wine" and listen or watch the show.

Another Awesome Tip From Patty Hamilton Rodgers
Every week it's my goal to share a story of someone's journey through their life and financial vineyard.

Patty’s Wine Pick - Josh Cellars Winery
“In 2005, I was in the wine cellar with a friend, someone who happened to be a 3rd generation Sonoma grape grower. We were tinkering around with a new wine that we sourced from a rugged volcanic vineyard in the Red Hills of Lake County California. We were reminiscing about our fathers, and it reminded me of how my Dad used to tinker around the garage, rebuilding old stock cars with his friends.
That rich, approachable wine that we tried back then defines the style and quality that we try to replicate each vintage at Josh Cellars, wines that are bold and expressive, but unassuming and approachable. Funny how it reminds me of someone.
Amy’s Wine Pick Lakewood Vineyard
Lakewood Farm is located on the west side of Seneca Lake, with east-facing slopes gently leading down to the shores. Owned and operated by the Stamp family since 1951, the vineyard’s first grapes were sold to Welch's Grape Juice Company in 1955. As the economic climate for small commercial grape producers became challenging, the Stamps took the next step and began producing and selling wine made from their grapes.
As the wines produced at Lakewood Vineyards gained recognition, so did the acreage in grapes increase—from 45 in 1988 to 80 in production today, with 10 newly planted. Lakewood Farm is still the main source of grapes for Lakewood Vineyards wines and supplies 15 varieties.
Looking Forward
The vineyard crew practices careful management of the vines and land, with a focus on sustainable practices, including composting, mulching and use of cover crops.
