Reena loves a story, and she‘s fascinated by the people behind them. She loves to bring stories to life. Her appetite for storytelling has taken her from the Jerry Springer Show to the legal drama of the courtroom. From influential players to reality stars, nothing is censored here. Reena interviews people whose stories haven‘t been told, at least not through her unique lens, and then gets daddy‘s advice afterward like a good daughter does. Whether you have daddy issues or a father who‘s inspired your path, you will be able to tap into my daddy‘s wisdom, wit, and humor at the end of every episode. My daddy has been a guiding light my whole life and there‘s not much he doesn‘t know, as an entrepreneur for forty-plus years, a husband, a loyal son, and my number one supporter. He has learned lots of life lessons along the way and is here to share them with you. It‘s time to reminisce and reflect on the conversations you‘d like to have with your daddy and learn from mine. Come share in some good old-fashioned family bonding and help us up our wisdom rating. There is wisdom from four generations and I’m addressing what happens from childhood to adulthood!

361. From Vertigo to Vocal Warmups: Helene Beck: Coming From the Heart Podcast
Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
Wednesday Mar 27, 2024
Today's guest, Helene Beck recently celebrated her 100th episode on her very own podcast, Coming from the Heart. I love her enthusiasm for hosting the show, her motivation to inspire exercise, and her profound passion for music.
Her love for music began at a young age, as she would sing along to commercials and mimic songs she heard. This passion for music led her to take lessons when she was around 10 or 11 years old.
She continued to nurture her musical talent by listening to albums and singing along to artists like Stevie Wonder and Billy Joel, forming a deep connection to singing and music early on.
She remained involved in music, participating in choir and pursuing music voice lessons at a studio in Hoboken. She took her musical endeavors seriously, recording at a studio in Brooklyn, a professional environment where even Lady Gaga had recorded.
Despite her busy schedule and teaching career, Helene always found solace in music and expressed a desire to return to singing and recording, recognizing the therapeutic and fulfilling nature of music in her life.
Helene's experiences with music highlight its significant role in her life, from childhood singing to professional recording sessions. Music has been a constant source of joy, expression, and creativity for her, shaping her identity and providing a means of emotional release and connection.
Helene's mother had a profound impact on shaping her values and passions. As a reading recovery teacher dedicated to education, the mother instilled a strong sense of community service in the speaker. Going above and beyond in her role, she bought supplies for students and gave back to the community, inspiring the her own actions and choices.
Her mother's commitment to education was evident in her journey, where she aspired to pursue a career in science but settled for being a lab technician due to financial constraints.
Despite this, she later went back to school in her forties to pursue her educational goals, showcasing resilience and determination. This perseverance likely influenced the Helene's own pursuit of passions and continuous learning.
Helene's admiration for her mother's dedication to education and community service is evident in her own actions, such as collaborating with the Hoboken Shelter and advocating for mental health awareness.
The values instilled by her mother have translated into a passion for giving back to the community and making a positive impact, reflecting a deep-rooted influence that continues to shape the Helene's choices and endeavors.
Helene's father, a school principal, had a strong sense of humor and used it as a coping mechanism, especially during challenging times. Despite facing illness and tough situations, he maintained a humorous outlook.
For example, even when in the hospital, he would use humor and sarcasm to lighten the mood. This ability to find humor in challenging times not only helped Helene's father cope but also influenced her own perspective on dealing with adversity.
She mentions that her father's humor was a way to release tension and bring levity to difficult moments, showing that laughter can be a powerful tool for resilience and emotional well-being. This aspect of her father's personality highlights the importance of finding joy and humor even in the face of adversity, emphasizing the value of maintaining a positive outlook and using humor as a coping mechanism in tough times.
Describing my dad as an embellisher and creator, she had her question for my dad prepared: Does he perceive a change in awareness surrounding mental health?
Her father adhered to the mentality of enduring hardships without expressing emotions, reflecting the stark generational differences. Despite this, she recalls a rare moment of seeing him cry upon losing his own father.
Have you ever felt alone, searching for answers?
Coming From The Heart Podcast is a safe space to share your experiences, expertise, and powerful messages of introspectiveness, hope, and love. Join us on the journey of self-exploration through a wide range of topics and discussions with diverse guests from around the world.
We heal one heart at a time
In June 2020, in the height of the pandemic Helene launched the Coming From The Heart Podcast, an inspirational platform addressing mental health, mindfulness, never feeling alone and overcoming challenges. Her momentum to begin the podcast stemmed from her own mental health struggles with vertigo. What Helene did not realize at the time is that mind and body are synchronized and that going through personal trauma affects the body as much as the mind.
By determining to find her own voice, and dimmed light, she seeked to find a community to rekindle her passion and courage. Coming From The Heart Podcast, continues to be Helene’s healing journey, for it is her story that embodies strength and resiliency. Her story began by walking the beautiful beaches of the Jersey shore that allowed her to inhale the sea breezes, collect sand in her shoes, and to connect with nature. Coming back home allowed her to plunge forward with strength, courage and extraordinary tenacity.
Four years later she continues to chase stories with incredible voices of celebrities and communities of others who share a common mental health thread to empower, heal, spread kindness and change the world with sparks of hope and love. Helene believes in the 5 C’s of mental health: Commitment, Communication, Concentration, Control, and Confidence, evident in every facet of her being!
https://linktr.ee/coming_fromtheheartpodcast
In December 2024, Helene launched Perspective Power Moves, PPM
As former international graduate professor, Helene supported many with her incredible intuitiveness and ability to support career journeys with a mental health spin. Her insight to market your personal story has gifted her with the ability to share insight assisting many in securing positions with renowned technical companies, including Uber, Google, Apple, and Tesla.
Her perseverance and unique ability to reshape personal stories became her “secret sauce” in guiding others through the competitive job market. Ultimately, Helene believes in cultivating comfort and confidence in individuals, especially during their journey to find the right professional position. What she believes is that 99% of the search is within ourselves, and all we need is the support motivation and confidence to plunge forward, that is where Helene comes in!

358. Leaving Scientology: Reese Quibell's Path to Freedom
Friday Mar 15, 2024
Friday Mar 15, 2024
In what ways can sending a child to a religious school shape their social life and development?
How does the concept of disconnection as practiced in Scientology affect the concept of family and personal relationships? What are the emotional consequences of such a policy?
Today, we're venturing into a world that's often shrouded in secrecy and controversy—Scientology.
Our brave guest, Reese Quibell, aka Relatable Reese shares a deeply personal journey of growing up within the confines of this organization. Reese opens up about the challenges she faced, from the emotional desensitization she endured to her chilling recount of abuse and the community's severe repercussions for her cries for help.
Reese's story isn't just a tale of survival within Scientology's oppressive walls - it's also a testament to the power of healing and reclaiming one's life. She describes the complex impact on her child's life, their silent pact to protect him from Scientology's reach, and the heart-wrenching choices they've had to make.
We'll delve into the emotional and psychological upheaval Reese has gone through and the strategies she's employed in her remarkable path towards recovery.
From praise to L. Ron Hubbard to the estrangement from loved ones, Reese shares the emotional turmoil caused by the organization’s practices. The powerful influence stories like Reese’s have had on the public perception of Scientology becomes evident as she recounts her reaction to television portrayals of the cult’s abuse.
Our own Reena Friedman Watts engages with Reese, reflecting on the parallel challenges of motherhood and the innate desire to protect our children. Wayne Friedman offers his insights on spirituality, free thought, and applauds Reese’s strength and openness. In a world where resilience shines brightest in the darkest corners, tune in for a raw, honest, and ultimately uplifting episode of Better Call Daddy, where Reese Quibell embodies bravery and the quest for truth and connection.

356. At 16, Deven Wohlwend Owns 46 Units: Secrets to Early Success
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Wednesday Mar 06, 2024
Absolutely everything is possible, and it can genuinely happen at any stage of life. Can an average individual, when exposed to sports, entrepreneurship, or business education, grasp these concepts? If one finds pleasure in these pursuits, they can craft an exciting future. Age should never be a barrier; you're never too young to start.
At just 16 years old, Deven Wohlwend is not your average teenager. He's already an accomplished author of three books, a savvy real estate investor owning 46 units and running a management company than runs 450, and has a deep passion for educating his peers on business and investing.
Deven's journey began with early lessons in stock investments influenced by his parents, and fun games like Lego investing, which taught him as much about losses as gains. Despite his business acumen, Deven knows the value of enjoying youth, balancing professionalism with times to just be a kid.
In this episode, we talk about how Deven juggles high-level investing with homework, sports, and lifeguarding.
We'll explore the challenges of teaching financial wisdom to the TikTok generation, Deven's take on AI in content creation, and the impact of family values on building a real estate empire. Plus, Deven shares a humorous take on Chat GPT endorsements and gives us a sneak peek into his future plans.
Whether you're tuning in from Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, or any other platform, remember to like, subscribe, and share. Want an extra dose of inspiration?
Head over to our YouTube channel for special episodes. Now, let's connect the generations and get ready to be amazed by the young yet prodigious Deven Wohlwend. It's time to Better Call Daddy!
The Wohlwend’s, after starting with nothing, used millions of dollars of private money
from more than 100 private lenders to finance their real estate deals. As their two boys grew up they were taught the business. By 5 each son started investing; by 7 years old they had each bought their 1st piece of real estate using only creative financing; the lessons they learned.
Their kids, Deven, now 16 controls over 46 units; Ethan, who is currently 13, has
almost 40 units. Neither used any money or credit from their parents. They did what the whole family teaches. They were creative and took action. In addition to working in the business and investing, Deven published his first book when he was 11. He has been interviewed on many podcasts that have been listened to in more than 190 countries; has spoken to live audiences in more than half a dozen states. Deven is the #1 Best-Selling Author of The Garage and If I Can Do It So Can You-How I Started Buying Real Estate at Age 7. The 2nd Book in his Garage series The Fall And Rise of Atlas is now available on Amazon.
Key Takeaways:
- Age is just a number: Deven's story proves it's never too early to start learning and investing in your future.
- The power of family: A supportive and educational family environment can be a tremendous asset on the road to success.
- Balance is crucial: Even when you're ambitiously pursuing success, it's important to remember the value of fun and personal fulfillment in your life and work.

Today, we've got a special treat for our listeners as we're bringing you insights straight from the energy heartbeat at the NAPE Summit in Houston.
We are going to talk about the personal and professional development aspects of attending trade shows.
How are podcasts regarded within the industry as a learning tool, and what value do they offer for industry professionals looking to stay informed and educated?
Get ready for a riveting conversation with the dynamic Kathy McClain from Rhedd's Flowback Services, as we delve deep into her fascinating journey through the oil and gas industry.
With us is the fabulous Audrey Zinn of the OGGN network, who helps us unravel the strands of Kathy's story with her brilliantly pointed questions.
Kathy, in the trenches with Thomas DeWald of TD Wald Well Test Inc., discloses how they've been revolutionizing production in the oil sector.
Their company isn't just about the numbers; they're committed to the welfare of their 1099 contractors, ensuring a loyal, dedicated team with a strong work ethic.
We'll explore the potential growth and nationwide expansion that Rhedd's Flowback is targeting, the opportunities available for experienced hands looking to join their ranks, and how they're fostering a culture open to nurturing future industry talents.
Think industry gatherings are all talk and no play? Think again!
We'll share our sore feet stories from the Nape Summit, the value of networking in stylish heels, and why trade shows could be the next big break for your business.
Oh, and before we dive in, remember to smash that like button, subscribe to "Better Call Daddy," and share the love with all your friends.
