Kristie Janel Conversations

At my 1st generation college party when I graduated the 1st time, I gave out plaques to family members for supporting me down through the years in one way or another, limited resources and all. I think I was thanking them for there “presence” in my life no matter how small or great. Being that I came from a “single parent” household and their were many “financial struggles” after my parents divorc...

Test Pilot Episode #17 “The Importance Of Accountability “- This episode is about the benefits of having accountability in your life. It’s like an example I gave in this conversation about a person who was going to a party and knew that they didn’t need to have more than “two drinks.” So they asked an accountable “buddy” to remind them after 2 drinks to drink water or a non-alcoholic beverage. The...

Test Pilot Episode 16 - My “Facebook” Crossroads I’m trying to think of ways to stay connected on Facebook so I’m trying out some new things. I have been making some adjustments. Honestly, I thought about leaving Facebook all together. I don’t “like” the “high school” “competitive” nature of Facebook. I feel that it is “numbers” and “popularity” based driving people to do “insane” and “fake” thing...

After speaking with a few people who have traveled overseas either during the pandemic or post pandemic, I thought about some travel safety tips to consider. One person gave me an example of a friend who traveled overseas who got sick and ended up in the hospital with doctors who could not speak English. So, this person had an unexpected “extended stay.” They had to stay until they could get well...

I was moved to tears when I heard this lady’s story about being married for a such long period of time. She shared her story out loud in a store while working her gig job. The first marriage was 17 years. The 2nd marriage was 30 years. I suspect that the limo business she co-owned with her X husband hit record numbers in profit and the X got with a younger woman and left with a lot of money. I thi...

The first time I encountered a rumor that really hurt my feelings was when I was in college. The rumor was that I wasn't practicing music as a lead soloist during individual practicing sessions. Some of the college students in the hallway accused me of "going with the music teacher." I was very upset and angry that these individuals decided to put that on my name. It was hard enough learning the w...

In Life you will find that some people will like you and others won't. If you are a "people pleaser" then it may bother you at times. My advice? Don't worry about it. Be sure to Like yourself first. When you love who you are then it will become easier to discern who is for you and who is not. Maybe you are in the process of redefining what is meaningful for you like I am. Not being “liked” does fe...

What's your best date or worst date "ever" experience? You know when it comes to people you may have dated in the past you may want to take that person "out of the date" if you could and keep the "location" right? The perfect dating spots that I've gone to were places like Paris France or taking a plane ride to Italy. Switzerland was adventurous. I loved the Christmas markets and castle excursions...

On this episode, I share some "transparent truths" about the ups and downs with the "weightloss monster" and why I decided to do a 90 Day Challenge after re-evalutating my weightloss journey.

For me, being a...

In this episode I discuss what I learned from doing food staging for awards shows, mid-day television and reality TV. Being creative is a passion of mine. I learned how to think "quick on my feet," prepare, work with a team, do vendor procurement, and set up props and design for fabulous food presentation that would pop on camera with good lighting. Have you ever worked in the world of television?...

This is a "freestyle topic" and fun if you ask me! In 1998, I had just received my bachelors of science degree in human services from Kennesaw State University. Two weeks later, I was on a plane to Mannheim, Germany! I started my career in Germany by working for the MWR (Military Welfare Recreation) & For DODEA (Dept. OF Defense Education Activity - Europe) Department Of The Army. I also worked fo...

I’m starting a new podcast after doing hundreds of Facebook live videos and discussions. I figure that it’s time to launch out into something new. I will be discussing various topics and doing series as well. It would be cool to have other podcasters on as guests from time to time. It’s a new world and I will learn as I go. But one thing that’s not new for me is making and creating content so I’ll...
