1. Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz: I am so excited, joining me in the studio is Susan Campbell, sought-after relationship expert and author of twelve books. We will be talking about her new book, From Triggered to Tranquil: How Self-Compassion and Mindful Presence Can Transform Relationship Conflicts and Heal Childhood Wound. I am so looking forward to this interview. It is an honor to have her in the studio with me and I know by listening to her that we will get a lot of valuable information.
Shout out to Sonoma County NOW for their Zoom event last Monday featuring Rosita Stevens-Holsey, niece of Women’s Rights and Civil Activist attorney, Dr. Paulie Murray, and thank you to all that attended. It was recorded and can be seen on Sonoma County NOW’s YouTube channel. It was a fabulous presentation and great Q&A session that is worth watching and listening to.
Andy Lopez Memorial – Each year on October 22nd, the day young Andy Lopez 13-years-old was shot and killed by a Sonoma County Sheriff deputy, there is a memorial service. This one was combined with a memorial for Activist Kathleen Finnegan. The Andy Lopez killing was a tragedy to our community and the memorial each year is a reminder of what happened in hopes it never happens again. My friend, activist Susan Lamont summed up the whole thing for me and I want to share with you what she wrote. She is a great writer. Of course, life was a bit different with some additions, but this was what she wrote:
Andy Lopez lived in a world that didn’t have his best interests at heart. In his short life, he dealt with poverty, racism, national borders used to exploit and demonize, a future offering lower wages and fewer opportunities for employment, a school-to-prison pipeline that profits off “his kind.” While corporate criminals went free, he was told it is criminal to join a gang.
And the gun? Andy had the misfortune to be a child in a culture thatbr /> gglorifies guns, war .and violence, tempts children with aisles of war toys and screens filled with gore, and allows young children to play with real assault weapons in Martin Luther King, Jr. Park under the approving eye of local police. And when he picked up on all the messages sent his way, the county used that to justify killing him.
Andy lived all the ugliness this county has to offer. We can’t bring him back to life, but we can honor his struggle.
When we, as those concerned with peace and social justice, do our work, it is not enough to work on issues of poverty, discrimination, and violence. These are not “issues” to many. These are “life.” If we do not acknowledge and honor those who actually live that life, our work is doomed to failure. If those who can’t see their way clear of these oppressions look at us and see people who do not see them, as individuals, our work is doomed to failure.
Presente Andy Lopez. Your life mattered.
2. Our guest Dr. Susan Campbell shares her pathway to becoming a therapist. She heard her parents expressing their disappointments in doing meaningful work and the culture did not encourage free expression in the 1950’s. Her mother took her to hear Margaret Mead in a lecture, and Margaret Mead inspired Dr. Campbell. Through her she realized that women do not need to have a child to have a meaningful life. She was determined to express her true feelings and to help others do so as a therapist. Susan discusses her new book, From Triggered to Tranquil: How Self-Compassion and Mindful Presence Can Transform Relationship Conflicts and Heal Childhood Wound. She says we must all accept the fact that we have automatic reactions triggering remembrance of past pain and trauma. If we learn about what triggers us, we learn about ourselves. We can make use of trigger reactions to recognize the signs of triggering. Her book will help you realize that first, triggering is normal, and second, there are things you can do when triggers are recognized. Susan calls us to self-compassion, to come in touch with our good mother archetype that says to us, “Let me feel with you!” Susan leads us through 5-Steps to deal with triggers. She invites visits to her website where she often leads free zoom meetings, and, of course, read her book.

Our history is our strength. Check out important dates to remember in herstory at the National Women’s History Alliance
Herstory Events:
October 23, 1910 – Blanche Stuart Scott is the first American woman pilot to make a public flight
On October 23, 1910, Blanche Stuart Scott was the first American woman pilot to make a public flight. The pioneering aviator, known as the “Tomboy of the Air,” was also the second woman to ever drive across the United States in an automobile. She eventually became a Hollywood scriptwriter and a well-known radio personality. Aside from clearing the way for future female pilots, like Amelia Earhart, the fearless Scott soared past societal expectations women and lived her life on her own terms.
Herstory Birthdays:
October 24, 1830 (1917) – Belva Lockwood, attorney, first woman admitted to practice law before Supreme Court (1879), ran for U.S. President in 1884 and 1888.
Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood (October 24, 1830 – May 19, 1917) was an American attorney, politician, educator, and author. She was active in working for women’s rights, including women’s suffrage. Lockwood overcame many social and personal obstacles related to gender restrictions. After college, she became a teacher and principal, working to equalize pay for women in education.[1] She supported the movement for world peace, and was a proponent of the Temperance movement.
Lockwood graduated from law school in Washington, D.C., and became one of the first female lawyers in the United States. In 1879, she successfully petitioned Congress to be allowed to practice before the United States Supreme Court, becoming the first woman attorney given this privilege. Lockwood ran for president in 1884 and 1888 on the ticket of the National Equal Rights Party and was the first woman to appear on official ballots.[2] While Victoria Woodhull is commonly cited as the first woman to run for president, she was not old enough to run, unlike Lockwood.
