The Honestly Unfiltered Podcast

Jeni Thomas

As women of a certain age, very few people talk about what happens next when it comes to children leaving the nest, how our bodies change as we get older, or how relationships with friends and family and even our spouses change as we get older. We created a Podcast that embodies subjects you would talk about with your closest friends. The things that you would say, "Oh, that happens to me too." Because, in times of uncertainty, it helps to know that you are not alone. This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacy read less

A Honestly Unfiltered Interview with Tino's Dad -Joe Franco of The Bachelorette
If you follow ABC's The Bachelorette or Entertainment News, you know there was quite a fuss a couple of weeks ago when Tino Franco brought Rachel Recchia home to meet his parents. Joe asked his possible future Daughter-In-Law some tough questions. As a parent, he was concerned that the relationship would not sustain out of the Love Bubble manufactured by the producers of The Bachelorette. What happened next was something that no one in his family could have ever imagined. They became trending entertainment news! Targeted by fans, they received hate messages, and Joe's appearance was made fun of. Things worsened when Joe played along on social media because people did not realize he was kidding.Joe's family put him in Social Media Jail until after The Bachelorette Finale aired, but they forgot to take away his microphone! We sat down with Joe the day before The Bachelorette Finale aired on ABC to discuss the drama. It turns out that Joe was misunderstood. He could not be nicer! Listen along as Joe tells us where he was coming from as a parent. How did he react when Tino arrived home with the news of his and Rachel's Engagement? Why he wore the yellow "Star Trek" shirt on National Television and the meaning behind the shirt to his family.

Being the Black Sheep
Nov 7 2022
Being the Black Sheep
What does it mean to be The Black Sheep of the Family?Many people who self-identify as the black sheep of their family feel misunderstood and ostracized. They report many negative comments and judgments from their family members. Many black sheep are self-healers, empathetic, and compassionate to others, given they know what it feels like not to be heard and understood.Kathi Hennessey, LICSW, studies the characteristics of adults who self-identify as black sheep or marginalized members of their families. Kathi will use information from her study to write a book about how the black sheep or marginalized members of their families are created and maintained. The research will also examine how these adults have adapted and embraced their uniqueness. In this episode of The Honestly Unfiltered Podcast, Jeni and Ellie sat with Kathi to discuss her research study. They also discussed family dynamics and whether or not we should feel obligated to be a part of our family members every day lives. Why are we forced to spend the holidays with our family when their treatment is terrible? And what happens when we push back, set boundaries, and do not allow toxic behavior? Find out this and much more in this episode.________Kathi Hennessey, LICSW InstagramKathi Hennessey, LICSW Facebookemail Kathi Hennessey, LICSW________Relevant Links:Being The Black SheepThe Power of Being The Black SheepLone Wolf or Black Sheep?_________We have Podcast Merch!

In-Between Paranormal with Lauren Moss
In this episode of The Honestly Unfiltered Podcast, Jeni and Ellie sit down with Lauren Moss of The In-Between ParanormalLauren Moss was born and raised in Tyler, Texas. And since the first moment she drew breath, the paranormal world surrounded her. Her earliest memory of interacting with a spirit of a deceased person was her grandfather, who passed when she was four. At the time, she didn’t realize what she could do, and as she grew, her abilities magnified. The paranormal world followed her, and she seemed to follow it. In 1999 she took matters into her own hands and began learning, training, and controlling her abilities. She became a channel psychic and medium. She graduated from college with her BFA in art history and studio art. She then married her high school sweetheart and welcomed their daughter in 2009.During this time, Lauren continued to work in the Paranormal field, volunteering her time with cold cases across the United States to help families to get closure when they desperately needed it. She also began to offer readings to the public and began to teach other individuals about their gifts and abilities. Outside of the Paranormal at this time, she also became an internationally licensed watercolor artist and has had gallery showings across the United States. Throughout her life, she has been involved in four paranormal teams and has run three of her own in various states. She is one of three cofounders and the psychic medium for The In-Between Paranormal, founded in March of 2022. The In-Between Paranormal focuses on national and international investigations, promoting para unity and support for the Paranormal community. The team dedicates its time to charitable acts and volunteer work within the communities that they investigate.________Where to find Laurentheinbetweensisterz@gmail.comhttps://brand.page/Theinbetweenparanormalhttps://twitter.com/InBetweenParahttps://instagram.com/officialtheinbetweenparanormalhttps://m.facebook.com/theinbetweenparanormalhttps://youtube.com/c/TheInBetweenParanormal________We have Podcast Merch!
