My grandmother passed away 2 weeks ago at the age of 100 (coincidentally on my 40th birthday), and although we were close, we only saw each other every few years since she lived in France and I in Texas.

She was a well trained classical pianist and gave me many of her old sheet music and manuscripts as she stopped playing into her old age.

I wish I could have chronicled our conversations of her youth, her family, her music studies, and her life, so that I could have gained some wisdom and perspective from her as I aged.

This podcast is dedicated to you, Grand Maman Fischer.

I will be inviting family, friends, and people who inspire me, to join the podcast and share some of their wisdom and life’s perspective.

I had a great time having my aunt-in-law, Leslie Engelmann, as my guest for my first ever podcast which I’m calling “For Real Life”.

Leslie is a Navy Veteran and owner of Chloe’s Pet Rescue, a non-profit pet rescue and animal adoption clinic. For 24 years, she’s helped thousands of animals find homes. She’s nursed some from near death and has saved countless animals from being euthanized.
