Another Empty Kitchen?

The gravely voices came loud and clear over the airwaves, deep and dark and said, “another empty kitchen”. What was that about?, I wondered. I heard it several times, before I queried a captain I was flying with, “What does that mean?”

He responded, “Well, you’re a woman, you probably left a husband and kids back home, and you took a job from a man.” Are you fricking kidding me! I was shocked and at that moment, my future became clear. I would write a book about my experiences as a mother, a wife (or an ex-wife as it ended up) and a woman pilot. The book would be called “Another Empty Kitchen.”

We are spreading the word that we can work our asses off, achieve our dreams, have children or take care of elderly parents, and share our stories with other women who might be questioning what they are doing with their lives.

I am a professional pilot with charter, corporate and airline experience (still flying ), and a professional athlete who managed an all-woman professional skydiving team for over 14 years. I have flown small planes and big planes, I have participated in world record skydiving attempts, I have jumped off cliffs and bridges, I delivered twins (one of them a breach), and I have raised a family by myself. (that’s a lie, every mother knows, it takes a village, and I have had an amazing one)

I am now pursuing the next chapter in my life with my blog, podcast,  and my book, still in progress, by the same name. This has been one of the biggest challenges of my life and I am enjoying every single second of it.

Episode 42 - Forty Years Strong: The Power of Friendship

The Chutin’ Stars Women Parachute Team thrilled and entertained audiences all over the Planet for many years in the eighties & nineties. A recent reunion in Moab highlighted the strength of life long friendships, the importance of communication; even just a quick phone call, and at the end of the day, all that really matters is love. Please enjoy this solo commentary after spending 2+ weeks with some amazing women.
