Text me! Tell me something good! BONUS EPISODE! I'm not a huge history buff, but how exciting to hear the unexpected past of a local favorite!  Cuban Liquor Company was founded by Jacob and Gloria Greenberg in 1934.  Emigrating from Eastern Europe, they stopped in Cuba when border restrictions prevented them from entering the United States. I loved this episode-- hearing about it's past...

Text me! Tell me something good! Welcome back for Season 2! I'm so glad you're here! I was connected with Meredith through LinkedIn, and one part of her profile caught my attention... "winecast."   I stopped whatever productive thing I was doing at the moment and went to check it out.  Her podcast, MAJOR CRUSH , became my favorite listen as I cooked dinner each night during qua...

Text me! Tell me something good! Yes- It's finally coming!   And you will not believe all the changes in store and ALL the ways we are streamlining it all to make this podcast more valuable for you! It's so exciting, and I couldn't hold it in any longer.   Season 2 will officially start on Thursday, Aug. 19th.   And if you're local, save the date because we have a really fun ev...

Text me! Tell me something good! I would say Sarah and I laughed more than we talked, but I re-listened!… and we definitely talked about a lot!  We clearly just had a great time doing it! In this episode, you’ll learn the importance of “disrupting yourself,” how successful people are usually just the most stubborn, and what you can control in the midst of all this chaos.  And my biggest takeaway?…...

Text me! Tell me something good! Episode 21:  Demystifying Sales Through Serving with Sarah Sloyan: Part 1 Do you want the backstory?… Of course you do. It’s fun!  Several months ago at the beginning of the summer, right as I was about to launch the podcast (which was a complete fog by the way,) I heard Sarah on another podcast.  I loved everything she had to say.  She blew me away!  Without think...

Text me! Tell me something good! Mindfulness …. hmmmm…. I like the idea.  It sounds great, but how on earth do I even begin to find a "state of mindfulness" in my chaotic life?  Can you relate to that?  Great!  Then, you're going to love this episode!  I can’t even tell you how much I’ve been waiting to share this episode.  And now, I’m so happy to finally release it for you!! I’m j...

Text me! Tell me something good! This week we are taking back to a conversation like our first episode.  Just a great and fun conversation with a sweet friend.  Do you have a friend who fills your soul in a way that after talking with them you feel like your tank is full again?... I really hope so.  That’s exactly how Lea May makes me feel.  We don’t get the opportunity to visit like this often, b...

Text me! Tell me something good! I am SO thankful for friends.  Especially the ones who let you rope them into coming on a podcast to talk about a vulnerable topic like sexual assault, how to deal with all the ways our kids are hit from all angles, and just how different it is now than when we were growing up.  We know these topics can’t be ignored.  We can’t avoid it.  But how on earth are we sup...

Text me! Tell me something good! “It’s too late to be uncomfortable talking about sex & sexual abuse.” This quote is from a contributor on the promotional video for Super Hero Kids 2020.  DISCLAIMER:  We are talking about a real and raw story right off the bat.  It’s something you may or may not want young ears to hear before you have time time to hear it first.  ***If you have not watched it...

Text me! Tell me something good! Life gifted me this friend about a year ago, and I’m soooo glad it did.  I always leave our conversations feeling enlightened and thankful that I lucked out to know her.  You know you have a good friend when you can have really honest conversations.  Like when I told her, “I really just don’t care for Christian music.”  You might not think that’s a big deal.  Every...

Text me! Tell me something good! Do you ever look at your out-of-the-box child, or maybe your toddler… or teenager… or husband…. or even yourself and wonder WHY you or they behave that way?  If you’re like me, it’s ALL the time.  Today, we get to welcome back the brilliant Dr. Kimberly Ray!  I know!… you've been waiting, and the day is finally here!  If you haven’t heard her first episode on...

Text me! Tell me something good! “You can have it all… you just cannot have it all at once” ~Sarah’s Nanny What great and wise advice from a kind soul.  Sarah Lowder comes from a line of amazing, beautiful, and kind women.  She is as gracious and she sounds, and as sweet as the treats behind their glass display cases.  I’ve had the privilege of watching Sarah and her husband, Preston’s, dream beco...

Text me! Tell me something good! Sometimes, the right mom is matched with the right boy and the roller coast of a journey to help him results in such a story of hope… and 47+ animals… and a new farm… purchased by 2 parents… from the city… without a clue.  Just wait until you hear Kelly’s story!… of her son illness, what all they learned, what she realized had to change, and how she put a deposit d...

Text me! Tell me something good! How did I get lucky enough to cross paths with this incredible woman?  I feel so fortunate that she was placed in my life not so long ago.  It must be meant to be because we've become fast friends. If you most resemble the people you have closest to you, then I'm set!  Elizabeth Anne is the epitome of hope, love, greatness, grace, and inspiration.    Just...

Text me! Tell me something good! It’s amazing how a husband opens up when there’s a mic in front of him!  Things I’ve never heard him say!  Who knew that was the key?!?  Today, Smith gives us our first look at our special world from a dad’s point of view.  This was fun, and I can’t wait to have more dads on the podcast.  Their struggles are sometimes different, and their insight often sheds light...

Text me! Tell me something good! How do you even begin the self-care journey? What does that look like?  Whether you are “on stage” literally or figuratively, Lacey Pruett has so much wisdom to share from her personal experience.  Lacey states, “Traditionally, as women, we are taught that being a high performer is a badge of honor worthy of our pursuit.” She continues, “Our stage is what we make i...

Text me! Tell me something good! Let me be clear.  I really did not want to do this episode.  At all.  I mean I thought the interview with Kelsey (Eps.2) was painful, but that was nothing compared to recording this one.  I say I want this podcast to be open, and honest, and real.  I say I want to help women connect.  What I didn’t realize is how personal I would have to be to help make all this ha...

Text me! Tell me something good! I sometimes forget about the impact small actions can have on those around me.  Good or bad, they are noticed more often than not.  What if we focused on the good?  Small efforts for others where we authentically think about how we could make them feel seen and heard.  Imagine what could come from that… A huge, positive, pay-it-forward, ripple effect for so many ot...

Text me! Tell me something good! Do you know what “I.D.D.” stands for? Well I thought I did, but when I googled it to make sure, I was shocked.   I’m ashamed and a little embarrassed to say that I unknowingly associated it with hearing impairment for years now.  I didn’t realize it described my own son.  It stands for Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.   Well… there you go.  I guess that...

Text me! Tell me something good! Tell me this…  How many of you can say you know someone who’s been fired by Trump?  Well, now you do!  Seriously.  I can’t make this up!  2020 may have a bad wrap, but I am loving all the new people I’ve had the chance to get to know.  And Roxanne is at the top of the list!  She is so magnetic, full of wisdom, and one of those people with an infectious laugh.  We’r...

Text me! Tell me something good! Life and its curve balls... Sometimes you need to dodge them, and sometimes they’re just what you needed.  My very first college experience threw me a huge curve ball that didn’t make for the best start.  But then entered Kim.  If life hadn’t thrown that curve ball, we probably wouldn’t have met.  And well… I can’t even imagine that.  Kim is my person.  She’s also...

Text me! Tell me something good! Ha! So, maybe not exactly like Forbes. But, what if I hadn’t pressed send on that email? Imagine what we would have missed out on! Today, I get to introduce you to a very high profile, extremely successful woman who’s had a profound impact on my life and in business. I believe true leadership comes from a heart to serve, and I am very proud to introduce you to Lori...

Text me! Tell me something good! Google is great for MANY things, but figuring out your kid?…. not so much.  Today we talk to Dr. Ray. If I could bottle up her wisdom and the heart she has for helping our babies, I seriously think we could cure autism... and any other disorder you want to throw this way for that matter.  Today is the beginning of many discussions we will have with Dr. Ray. That is...

Text me! Tell me something good! We’ve made a pivot with the launch of Collective Light. We were given this platform, and I can’t avoid the movement that is happening in our country when it directly effects so many lives in our community. Mandy is back. She lived 10 years not feeling like she could talk about this story or the way it made her feel. Mandy joins us again for an unexpected, but much...

Text me! Tell me something good! I am not a confrontational person. I am a peacemaker. But I realize that sometimes I would rather just observe… see how others react…. and how they deal as I wait and wrap my head around it. The timing of launching this podcast made me realize that just observing is not an option for me anymore. This conversation may be hard and uncomfortable, but I come from a pla...
