Recently released 'My Extra Mom' from Telemachus Press and author Gina Grad is a tool for parents and stepparents to show their children the benefits of having an extra adult in their lives. 'My Extra Mom' reminds non-nuclear families there is plenty of community — and plenty of extra love — to go around.

LOS ANGELES, February 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Los Angeles broadcaster, voiceover artist and new stepmom/"extra mom" Gina Grad has released her first children's book, My Extra Mom, which aims to help families adapt to the "blending" process by offering valuable insights and suggestions for stepparenting. The book, which launches on Wednesday, Feb. 22, 2023, focuses on fostering security and confidence in young children who are being introduced to a new parent/stepparent.

With an estimated 133.6 million Americans with a step-relationship and minimal resources for children, Grad recognized the importance of educating people in a creative way as to what being a stepmom is truly about — being a person who joins "a family already in progress" and adding to the joy, protection, and love that already exists.

My Extra Mom strives to dispel the myth of the "Evil Stepmother" and offers a positive outlook on what a healthy "modern family" can look like. Through her own experiences as a stepmom, Grad has been inspired to create a children's book that offers assurance to both children and parents that stepparents offer security and stability in addition to — not in place of — what primary parents are already providing.

This newly released children's book highlights the benefits of having an extra adult in a child's life who looks after them and loves them. It also offers suggestions, fun challenges and games that promote bonding between a stepmom and her stepchild.

My Extra Mom is a reminder to non-nuclear families that there is plenty of community and extra love to go around. This simple and innovative children's book provides a valuable resource for any family going through the "blending" process and emphasizes the importance of creating a positive environment for all family members to thrive.

Gina Grad is a national broadcaster, television, and radio host. She is the former co-host/news anchor of The Adam Carolla Show, which held the Guinness World Record for Most Downloaded Podcast. Gina has anchored on KFI AM 640, as well as hosted mornings on 100.3 FM. She is now currently hosting Planet TV Studios' New Frontiers.

My Extra Mom is available for sale on Amazon in paperback, hardback, and Kindle.

VerseOne Distribution Distributes Irish Band's New Single

DELAWARE CITY, Del., February 22, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Arctic Lights, an indie/rock group from Cork, Ireland, has released "Holy Joe", their first single of 2023, as the follow-up to their 2022 critically acclaimed single, "Belong". Band members Liam O'Callaghan and Edward Butt wanted to take a new creative direction towards a darker and heavier sound with the new release. 

"Holy Joe may sound a bit different from some of our other songs but we like to surprise people with each new release as we get bored quickly and don't just want to repeat the same tricks each time. This keeps us engaged and interested as we find exploring new sounds gets us excited, being an independent act allows us to do what we like and we will keep doing that while hoping people will enjoy what we do, but, overall we make music for ourselves." - Edward Butt

"I find writing music can be cathartic and songs have personalities of their own. I had a melody in mind for Holy Joe but no lyrics. The minute we pressed record to put the melody down, the lyrics just started pouring out. I think you can feel a crackling and bristling in society at the moment like there is a fire about to ignite. For me, the emotion of the vocals captures this feeling perfectly.  Hopefully, we can extinguish the fire." - Liam O'Callaghan

Distributed exclusively by VerseOne Distribution, "Holy Joe" is available now on all major music platforms. Listen to "Holy Joe" here.

In a time where couples struggle with marriage and argue in record numbers, there is a way to help them to stop arguing and get to loving. Dr. Willie Jolley and his wife, Dee, share secrets that they used to help couples all over the world to improve their marriages. The Jolleys initially shared their marriage secrets in their book called Make Love, Make Money, Make It Last! and now share their powerful system in a new TED Talk entitled, "How to Never Argue in Marriage Again."

WASHINGTON, February 21, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Dr. Willie Jolley is a well-known motivational/inspirational speaker, best-selling author and syndicated radio host. Dee Taylor-Jolley is a former communications coach. They have been married for almost 40 years and have not had an argument in 35 years. Their new TED Talk is being heralded as a "must-see" message for all married couples and singles who aspire to get married.

After a huge argument about Chinese food 35 years ago, the Jolleys realized that something had to change if their marriage was going to survive. 

They developed some rules of engagement on how to disagree without being disagreeable, and it transformed their marriage. They created the "4F Formula," the dynamic keys to having critical conversations in marriage. This process allows couples to work through problems without threats, yelling or arguing. It has helped thousands of couples around the world stop arguing.

Watch their Ted Talk video, "How to Never Argue in Marriage Again."

Marriage can be a challenge. Statistics show 50 percent of marriages in the United States end in divorce. The remainder of those couples are often miserable. 

The Jolleys have helped couples around the world address those questions and improve their marriages. Their popular weekly online television program, "The Jolley Marriage Show," shares tips on how to develop loving relationships. Their advice also helps couples overcome challenges that develop from three main issues that break up relationships: sex, money, and communication.

The dynamic couple has shared tips from their Make Love, Make Money, Make It Last! book on The Today Show,  Sirius XM, and many national broadcasts and popular publications. The book shares 10 secrets to a successful marriage that the authors claim actually work.

The Jolleys' book will help you, whether you are currently married or looking to get married. It can be found on www.JolleyMarriage.com and on all major retail websites, including Amazon. A free chapter of the book is available for download on The Jolleys' website.

The video can also be seen on their corporate website, www.WinWithWillie.com.
