17 NOV 2025 · Discover how understanding economics can empower everyday Americans. Howard Yaruss joins Betsy Wurzel to explain inflation, Social Security, Medicare, and the financial myths shaping our daily lives.
In this enlightening episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel talks with Howard Yaruss — economist, professor, attorney, businessman, and author of Understandable Economics. Howard breaks down how our economic system works in simple, practical terms that every American can understand. Together, they explore some of the biggest myths in today’s conversations about money, including whether Social Security and Medicare are really “running out of money,” why inflation happens, and what causes shrinkflation.
Howard explains why billionaire Warren Buffett pays a lower tax rate than his secretary, how recessions develop, how national debt works, and why consumer spending is the true engine of job creation. Howard believes economic literacy gives people real power to understand policies that affect their daily lives. As he notes, “Our politicians work for us — we are their employers.” Betsy shares that Understandable Economics is the first economics book she has ever read, and she found it eye-opening and easy to understand.
Betsy highly recommends it for anyone — high school and up — who wants to understand the world around them in clear, everyday language.

10 NOV 2025 · What if dementia care could be guided by love and knowledge — not fear? Dr. Ethelle Lord joins Betsy Wurzel to share how education is changing caregiving forever.
In this enlightening episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks with Dr. Ethelle Lord, founder of the International Caregivers Association (ICA) and a pioneer in transforming how dementia care is taught and delivered worldwide. Betsy and Dr. Lord share their personal caregiving journeys and the deep love that continues long after loss. Dr. Lord discusses her mission to empower family caregivers, professionals, and organizations through compassion, training, and advocacy — helping them understand the human side of dementia.
She introduces her groundbreaking Transactional Dementia Intelligence (TDI) Business Model of Dementia Care (SM) — a holistic system that blends education, coaching, and care across home and facility environments. This approach helps caregivers and staff move beyond routine care toward meaningful connection and empathy.
Together, Betsy and Dr. Lord explore the importance of caregiver education and the positive impact it has on both caregivers and their loved ones. They discuss how validation and understanding can prevent agitation, reduce stress, and restore dignity for individuals living with dementia. Dr. Lord also highlights the role of prevention — through healthy eating, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking, alcohol, and drugs — as part of overall brain health.
She introduces a fascinating “voice scan” test, a promising tool for detecting early signs of Alzheimer’s, diabetes, and other conditions. This conversation is filled with hope, insight, and inspiration. How Dr. Ethelle Lord Is Transforming Dementia Care reminds every listener that true change begins with education, empathy, and the courage to see caregiving as both an art and a mission.

4 NOV 2025 · A stolen painting. A survivor’s courage. A thief’s redemption. Betsy and author Bill Frisco explore how truth and love can outlast hate and history.
In this episode of Chatting with Betsy, host Betsy Wurzel speaks with Bill Frisco, author of Every Day Is Like Sunday: The Silent Re-Looting of Art Stolen by the Nazis. Their heartfelt conversation explores how a chance meeting at the Jersey Shore in 1985 inspired a story of stolen Jewish artwork, justice, and redemption.
Betsy and Bill dive into the heart of Every Day Is Like Sunday, a gripping tale that follows a stolen painting and the people forever changed by its history. Though written as historical fiction on his attorney’s advice, Bill explains that real events appear throughout—blending fact and imagination to reveal timeless truths about conscience and courage. Listeners meet Roy Kean, a skilled thief, and Lily Braun, a Holocaust survivor determined to reclaim her murdered family’s stolen art. Roy, moved by Lily’s faith and bravery, risks everything to right a decades-old wrong.
Together, they embody the struggle to confront the past and restore dignity to lives shattered by hatred. Bill shares how visiting Auschwitz during his research transformed his perspective and strengthened his commitment to honoring truth through storytelling. Betsy calls the book a page-turner that unites history, emotion, and moral reflection. As a Jewish-Christian, she found Lily’s strength deeply personal—an enduring reminder of resilience and the human spirit. 💬 “This story stays with you,” Betsy says. “It reminds us that love and justice can still triumph over darkness.”

23 OTT 2025 · Think healing from childhood trauma is impossible? Betsy Wurzel and Steven Eichenblatt prove it’s not—through truth, courage, and forgiveness.
In this heartfelt interview, Betsy Wurzel speaks with Steven Eichenblatt, author of Pretend They Are Dead: A Father’s Search for the Truth, about transforming trauma into triumph through courage, forgiveness, and self-awareness. Steven’s memoir became a #1 Amazon bestseller in both New Releases: Dysfunctional Families and Lawyer & Judge Biographies, sharing a raw look into emotional pain and resilience.
Steven revealed the title’s chilling origin—advice once given to his biological father, Allen Nestlé, by a psychiatrist. He recounted abandonment, emotional hardship, and years of silence that shaped his understanding of survival. Together, Betsy and Steven explored how unresolved childhood wounds can shadow adulthood and limit our ability to connect. They discussed how the 1960s and 1970s often silenced abuse survivors, especially women who felt pressured to endure harmful behavior. Steven emphasized choosing not to remain a victim but to reclaim one’s story and live victoriously.
One haunting revelation came when Steven described witnessing a fatal crash at sixteen—only to learn decades later that the victim was his father. Writing Pretend They Are Dead forced him to confront buried memories yet ultimately freed him to move forward with compassion and strength. Betsy praised the memoir as raw, emotional, and deeply inspiring. “This was a page-turner,” she shared. “I laughed, I cried, and I wanted to hug young Steven.”
