Welcome to The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast! I’m your host, Paul Vogelzang, and today’s episode is one that will touch your heart, challenge your perceptions, and inspire you to rethink the power of forgiveness.

 

Our guest is the remarkable Dr. Rosanne D’Ausilio—an author, speaker, and transformation advocate. Rosanne’s new book, Pain, Pumpernickel & Profound Forgiveness: A Daughter’s Story of Her Punishing & Loving Relationship with Her Father, is a story unlike any other. It’s raw, redemptive, and breathtakingly human.

Dr. Rosanne D’Ausilio takes us on a deeply personal journey through her tumultuous relationship with her father—a man whose strict, authoritarian ways left scars that seemed impossible to heal. But what begins as a tale of pain and fear unfolds into a profound revelation of compassion, understanding, and Divine Intervention.

 

We’ll hear about the moments that transformed her perspective—like Sunday morning bakery visits, where coconut bars and watermelon-sized pumpernickel bread became unlikely symbols of love. And, in the face of lifelong resentment, Rosanne reveals how she discovered the electrifying potential of forgiveness.

 

This is more than a story about a father and daughter—it’s a guide for anyone who has ever carried the weight of a painful past. Rosanne’s insights will teach us how to shift perceptions, embrace compassion, and ﬁnd peace—even with those we once thought unforgivable.

 

So, sit back, listen closely, and prepare for a conversation that could change the way you see your own life.

Let’s dive into the extraordinary world of Dr. Rosanne D’Ausilio.

My thanks to Dr. Rosanne D’Ausilio for her time and wonderful story insights into Profound Forgiveness. Please check out our show notes today for more details about Rosanne D’Ausilio and her new book titled “Pain, Pumpernickel, and Profound Forgiveness.” My thanks to all our audience on radio and podcast, Sam Heninger and Miranda Heninger for their work to drive the show to new heights, here’s to 2025! Let’s talk about Better. The Not Old Better Show on radio and podcast. Thanks everybody.

We’ll see you next time.

 WHY IS IT DIFFICULT ?


Couplet 1
In a world of pixels, we get lost,
We send likes, but where are the hearts?
Shining screens, souls in winter,
We scream into the void, searching for light.  

Refrain
Why is it difficult,
To have friends, true friends?
Between WhatsApp and Snapchat,
TikTok, Facebook, we feel so far away.
To be or to appear, where is the truth?
We search for ourselves, but dare not move forward.
Ooooooooooooooooh NOOOOOOOOO 

Couplet 2
Words on a thread, but not in the eyes,
We talk in emojis, forgetting the voice.
Loneliness dances, making us unhappy,
In this connected world, we feel so cold.  

Refrain
Why is it difficult,
To have friends, true friends?
Between WhatsApp and Snapchat,
TikTok, Facebook, we feel so far away.
To be or to appear, where is the truth?
We search for ourselves, but dare not move forward.
Ooooooooooooooooh NOOOOOOOOO

Pont
We dream of depth, of shared laughter,
But we stay on the surface, like lost sailors.
Time passes, and the echo of smiles,
Fades in the noise of our broken lives.  

Refrain
Why is it difficult,
To have friends, true friends?
Between WhatsApp and Snapchat,
TikTok, Facebook, we feel so far away.
To be or to appear, where is the truth?
We search for ourselves, but dare not move forward.
Ooooooooooooooooh NOOOOOOOOO  

Outro
So let’s raise our voices, break this silence,
Let’s find what’s essential, the true connection.
For deep in our hearts, there’s this chance,
To build together, a new direction.
WHAT DO WE DO, HOPE OR DESPAIR?

22, West LA/Mid City— ##MEETME@5800## 

Born in Inglewood, CA, Edgar has been writing lyrics to industry standard beats since age 5 but was too shy to show anyone besides his young brother. At 13 he seemed to regain the love for music and wanted to showcase what he felt was talent; a God given blessing. Late 2017, a young and inspired Edgar, (formerly known as Super$aiyan E) would begin recording on his phone using iMovie, and would release awfully mixed songs on soundcloud, some of which you can still find today. Soon after, long time friends and collaborators began to work with Edgar to help him out. These creatives were the likes of Will Sykes (Mode), Zeek (EternalBushido), and Taj, who is a well known producer in Detroit and Los Angeles respectively. Edgar began releasing better quality music over the course of his high school tenure. In 2021 he decided to start anew by changing his stage name to what is now presented as ‘Eddie Franco’. Since then, he has made strides in both quality and quantity, releasing 13 mixtapes/projects thereafter the new leaf had been turned. Now on the verge of breaking into the industry, follow Edgar’s journey as an upcoming artist with loads of potential and versatility to spread amongst all genres of contemporary and past generations of music.

Bonjour, message pour toutes les agences de musique numérique. Vous êtes devenues trop nombreuses pour que je puisse répondre à chacune, donc j’envoie une réponse générale à tous ! Contrairement à ce que mon profil professionnel indique, je ne vis pas de la musique, qui est devenue un hobby fou pour moi, car je ne compose que depuis 2024. Mon rêve n'est pas d'avoir des streams, mais plutôt de trouver des groupes ou des chanteurs capables de défendre mes chansons sur scène. Merci pour votre message, et ainsi, chacun d'entre vous aura une réponse claire et simple ! Salutations ! (Je reçois tranquillement entre 9 000 et 15 000 streams par semaine, sans acheter de streams, juste des streams réels). Je n'ajouterai pas d'autres réponses et je tiens à remercier ceux qui ont pris le temps de laisser un message aimable de soutien pour mes compositions. Salutations à tous !

Hello, message for all digital music agencies. You have become too numerous for me to respond to each one, so I’m sending a general response to all! Contrary to what my professional profile indicates, I do not make a living from music, which has become a crazy hobby for me, as I have only been composing since 2024. My dream is not streams, but rather to find bands or singers capable of defending my songs on stage. Thank you for your message, and this way, each of you will have a clear and straightforward answer! Greetings! (I am quietly getting between 9,000 and 15,000 streams per week, without buying streams, just real streams). I will not add any further responses and I want to thank those who took the time to leave a kind message of support for my compositions. Greetings to all!
