I created the Obliterated Place because regular people don’t have many platforms to share their truths. Podcasters host other podcasters, published authors and famous people. Yet, everyone has a story about what changed their life forever. youtu.be/v5V5e6Vs7Wg?...

Lili’s husband died, Damon, died suddenly, leaving her as sole parent/provider to their 7 and 9 year old kids. Lili’s story on my new podcast, the Obliterated Place, will make you laugh and cry, leaving you inspired. She is grit and grace. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

A year ago, I predicted the first CEO who forcefully and publicly resisted Trump could reap significant benefits, both reputationally and commercially. With its reputation for breaking barriers and the boldness chromosome in its DNA, I thought/hoped it would be Nike. But Dario Amodei just did it.

With a superior military we are blessed that casualties are minimal, and it’s rare to lose an aircrew. But when you do it cuts deep and hurts…. Especially as a former aircrew member. Today we honor the 6 who lost their lives in Iraq. Nickel in the grass brothers and sisters.

If someone attacks a synagogue because they're angry at Israel, that is antisemitism. It doesn't matter the reason they're angry. Targeting a synagogue because they need to take out their anger on Jewish people--and any Jewish place of worship will do--is antisemitism.

These words from President Obama brought tears to my eyes. I simultaneously feel anguish over how far we’ve fallen and dogged determination to never give up. Send me. Send me. Send me. That’s what my soul says. And Molly whispers, yes, mom. Go.

Love transcends death. Remaining connected with our loved ones after they physically leave this world provides great comfort. When Molly died, I knew I couldn't live without her. I had to find a new way to live with her. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

When you find yourself in the Obliterated Place - whether because of a diagnosis, loss, or one of myriad other ways that life can blindside you - COMMUNITY is essential. Suzanne lost her father to cancer when she was a teenager, then faced her own battle at age 32. youtu.be/ml-rcPYqRXk?...

Look, it's just purely a coincidence that Donald Trump started a war just days before the release of FBI 302s of interviews of a victims claiming he raped her when she was 13 years old.

Born in 1935 to a young, unmarried mom who died 3 years later, “Bud” Lipsky went on to live a full and fascinating life substack.com/@kayesteinsa.... In a world where it’s increasingly hard to tell what’s genuine - the Obliterated Place brings you real people, sharing their real stories of loss 🙏.

I got all my cuties with me 🐶🐈🐾

In awe of the level of talent and heart displayed by Lady Gaga and everyone who’s part of her Mayhem Ball tour. One of the BEST concerts I’ve ever attended! I especially loved the older couple in front of us who danced their asses off for 3 straight hours🕺💃. #lifegoals #justdance #gaga

Blazing fall color among the sugar maples seen along the North Country Trail near Silver Mountain in the Ottawa National Forest in Michigan's Upper Peninsula for #ForestFriday!

Hope you're having a beautiful Ramadan if you observe.

We’ve gone from fires to mudslides. This is outside our rental In SM Canyon. Stay safe, LA friends!

It’s impossible to believe that it’s been 5 years since Molly left this world. It simultaneously feels like yesterday and an eternity. I put my heart into this new podcast because the only way I survive is by channeling my grief/mother love (one and the same) to help others. youtu.be/cM_QsH3jfIc

Thanks to Scott Galloway, I reviewed our subscriptions - some of which I didn’t know we were paying for - and cancelled a bunch! It took 10 minutes, saved us money, and will send a message to Trump and his greedy corporate enablers. Hit ‘em where it hurts 👊! #resistandunsubscribe #resistICE

Our friend and neighbor, Ellen, lost so much in the past year. Shortly after the Palisades fire, Ellen’s husband, Steve, was diagnosed with lung cancer. They were living in a temporary apartment. Ellen became Steve’s caregiver, while trying to put their lives back together 👇. gofund.me/30c918a81

The essence of America is our diversity. This year’s Super Bowl Half Time show was all at once exciting, sexy, powerful, and heartwarming. It looked like so much FUN to be there! Bravo, Bad Bunny 👏👏👏.

Bernice King has it absolutely right. We are facing a moral crisis in this country. And we must all act together to end it.

Law enforcement officers are trained to de-escalate conflict. These guys seem to be doing the exact opposite. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I wish I could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the brave patriots resisting a federal government that is murdering Americans and lying to the public. My heart’s with you, Minneapolis. Millions and millions are. What’s the best way to send help? May Alex and Renee’s memories be a revolution 🙏.

25% through this hellscape & we’re on edge, holding our collective breath. The US President is NOT OK. There are no guardrails. Only bad actors and enablers. The greatest country in the world is committing suicide before our eyes. Millions of lives hang in the balance. It’s utterly terrifying.

When I sit down to write, the whole crew gathers around 🐶🐈🐈. Doesn’t take long for Dax to start chasing the kitties but we have a few nice moments together. Gemma and Leo have come out of their shells! They have zero fear of the dog. They can still be skittish but have definitely warmed up.

As my husband said in Molly’s eulogy, she was a very Jewish girl. We proudly shine our lights 🕎. We will never hide or be ashamed of being Jews. Chag Hanukkah Sameach to our Jewish brothers and sisters around the world 🙏. All our love to you from Santa Monica, CA. #teammolly

Today is 9 years since my diagnosis with stage 3B breast cancer. This was taken a few months later, on a break between chemo sessions. I forgot today was my cancerversary until my bestie just reminded me! I never thought that would be possible. Cancer used to be constantly on my mind.

Love this boy! He’s written two books on my laptop. A fictional story called “Cyber Night” and “A Kid’s Life,” loosely based on his own adventures (& misadventures 😅). They’re substantial & creative! When he’s not writing, he illustrates. I said he should publish them. Would you read a book by Eli?

This post isn’t intended to shame anyone who’s making a turkey today. I am too. I just miss my girl, who was so passionate about the lives of animals that she sent this to her friends in an effort to recruit more vegetarians 😉.

Our furniture distribution weekend at the American Legion will now feature Santa and Mrs. Claus passing out toys to the kids and posing for photos with them 🎅🤶🎄. The American Legion told us that families are coming in looking for holiday decorations but the few things they have are old and broken 😞.

This is our street after the Palisades fire. Thousands in the Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Altadena have similar photos of the charred remnants of their homes and neighborhoods. Many of our fellow Angelinos are hurting this holiday season, especially those who were hardest hit by the LA fires.

Please send a Christmas ornament to the TEAMMOLLY Community Space, 11400 W. Olympic Blvd, Suite 300, LA 90064 🙏🎄❤️. You can also donate new ornaments, holiday decor and toys for the kids of our furniture grant recipient families via our Target and Amazon community wishlists. #teammolly

Our From House to Home initiative with Housing on Merit is in full swing! We’ve received over 300 grant applications and provided $50k in grants to qualified applicants so far. The Molly Steinsapir Foundation newsletter contains all the links that you need to be part of this! eepurl.com/jssAL6

The Molly Steinsapir Foundation dramatically expanded this year, in response to the LA fires. We immediately jumped in to help and haven’t stopped! From House to Home is our largest initiative to date, providing Palisades & Eaton fire survivors with access to new furniture at low or no cost 👇.

Dax is trying to chill while these kitties are making mischief 🙀!

Lazy Sunday morning.

Kitties are becoming braver by the day, especially our little girl, Gemma. Daxy is being a good boy today and not chasing them.
