    Is Laughter the Best Medicine

    Is Laughter the Best Medicine? Join Guest, Debbie Friend, Intrinsic Coach, Laughter Yoga Leader and Master of Science Degree in Exercise Physiology and Cardiac Rehabilitation and Host, Hirsch Serman, MBA, CPA of the Financial Wellness Hour. Steamed on www.NEWStreamingNetwork.com

    More about Debbie Friend... As an exercise physiologist, Debbie spent years counseling, educating and training countless heart patients and healthy adults on how to develop, adopt and practice sound dietary and exercise habits. Over time, Debbie came to the realization that regardless of how wonderful a person’s diet and fitness habits were, if the individual was always stressed, all the other positive health practices were being negated. Therefore, she began to research, design and implement programs that would address this dilemma. Today, Debbie promotes wellness through her successful stress management, laughter yoga and healthy living workshops. Her energetic, upbeat style and friendly, personable approach makes her sessions fun, informative, relaxing and entertaining. Every program that Debbie presents is unique, creative and individually tailored to address each client’s specific needs. To ensure maximum benefit, Debbie then provides one-on-one coaching—making sure that participants set desired health goals and take appropriate steps to achieve lasting success.

  • Finding Hidden Assets with Guest Michael Craven JD,CPA

    Finding Hidden Assets with Guest Michael Craven JD,CPA

    Finding Hidden Assets with Guest, Michael Craven, JD, CPA, Partner, Harrison & Held LLP and Host, Hirsch Serman on the Financial Wellness Hour. NEW Streaming Network, home of WGSN-DB Going Solo Network 24/7 Live Streaming Radio, TV & Podcasts - #1 Internet Singles Talk Network for a Complete Singles Connection (www.goingsolonetwork.com)

    A bit more about Michael Graven, JD, CPA: Divorce is a complex and emotional process that can be overwhelming for those going through it. As a highly rated Divorce Law attorney with more than 30 years of experience, I work closely with my clients throughout the Chicagoland area to ensure that they are actively informed of every step in the process. Finding the solution that best serves the interests of my clients’ families is my number one priority. I represent people in all aspects of family law. My clients come to me with problems concerning the allocation of parental responsibilities (child custody), child support, property division, business valuation, finding hidden assets and income, paternity, domestic violence, adoption, and grandparents’ rights.

    Drawing upon my previous work experience as a Certified Public Account and tax attorney, I negotiate, and if required litigate, financial issues in matrimonial cases. I also handle prenuptial agreements for those planning to marry and postnuptial agreements for individuals who have already taken the big step. See the Practice Areas section for more details. Most divorce cases reach a conclusion through negotiation, and I have extensive experience reaching my clients’ goals without going through a long and costly court battle. In addition to negotiated settlements, I resolve through alternative dispute processes such as Collaborative Law and mediation in order to settle cases between disagreeing spouses. Some cases result in litigation, and I have extensive experience fighting for my clients in court. My goal is to help my clients make smart, clear-headed decisions.

    I approach every case with an open mind and take care to listen to my clients so that I can best meet their individual needs. My clients use words like “trustworthy,” “calm” and “empathetic” to describe me. I come from a family of lawyers. My father was also a divorce attorney, and I have been connected with the profession for decades. I am proud of my reputation as a tireless advocate for my clients. I am a Fellow in the prestigious American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers, which is a select national group of attorneys acknowledged as prominent family law practitioners.

    I have also received the following honors for my work in Family Law: Recognized by the Leading Lawyers Network (2009-present) Named an Illinois Super Lawyer (2009-present). A Super Lawyer is considered the best in their profession and “represent the top 5% of the practicing attorneys in Illinois.” Received the highest rating from the Martindale-Hubbell® Lawyer Rating System, which denotes “adherence to professional standards of conduct and ethics, reliability, diligence and other criteria relevant to the discharge of professional responsibilities.”

    Selected by my peers for inclusion in The Best Lawyers In America© in the practice area of Family Law. Connect: Email: mcraven@harrisonheld.com

    A bit more about Terrie Vanover, Terrie is a Divorce Strategist, wants to share... I was completely overwhelmed during my divorce. I didn’t know what my options were or who to turn to for help. I made so many mistakes throughout the process that I lost my home, my credit, my friends, and my support system. I felt so alone. But I learned how to get through this overwhelming process. I learned how to stand up for myself when dealing with my ex. I learned how to choose the right lawyer. I took charge of my finances and I learned how to deal with my loneliness. When I got through my divorce, I wished that I had the support of someone to help me through it- someone who could give me hope that everything was going to be okay. I became a divorce strategist so I could help other women avoid the mistakes that I made. I invite you to call me today so that we can discuss what you need to know so that you can get through your divorce without being legally, emotionally, and financially devastated. The sooner we get started, the better position you will be to come out this positively.
