With Stacy under the weather, JDK Wyneken and Grace Heller take over the mic to discuss their longtime debate about the Marvel Cinematic Universe. It’s a conversation, though, more about the nature of friendship, character building, and why we all care about our heroes.

Stacy shares details about her trip to Boston from moving Grace’s 7 oversized bags to addressing the baggage around their communication style. She also talks about the concept of being a “worldwalker” and a sundial in the shade before welcoming her two guests, Pete Connolly of Acute Injury Massage and Emese Lindstrom of Integrative-Healing. As a doctor of Natural Medicine and Humanitarian Services, Emese’s knowledge of the energetic body enables her to pull information from 50,000 feet AND a molecular level. Stacy does her best to translate the work that Pete and Emese do within their own practices and together. To learn more about Pete and his work go to https://www.aimbypete.com/.

Stacy proves she’s just like her mother by sharing a story about how her mom befriended Tom Hamilton Jr. on the plane to Seattle, a musician who is now an upcoming guest on the show. She also gives an update on her back and shares an African Proverb as her STACYISM. Stacy’s guest, Vicki Draper is an intuitive animal healer and author of three books. They talk about Vicki’s work with animals; how she acts as a translator between animals and their caregivers, allowing for clear communication to address any behavioral and/or health concerns. Stacy plans to hire Vicki to learn more about why her cat Finn is so anxious! To learn more about Vicki and her books, go to https://healingyouranimal.com/

Like Santa, Stacy’s mother is coming to town; she also likes cookies (but with scotch). Stacy raves about Violent Night and shares how she had a violent morning recently after a fall in her bathroom. Her guest, Denise Perkins is a coach whose passion is coaching women business owners, much like Stacy and herself, on how to better sell themselves and their services. By working on their mindset, clients start to recognize the value of their skill set; with a new appreciation of their worth, together they create an action plan. Denise works one-to-one with clients and also has a Facebook group all are welcome to join. Find Denise Cugini Perkins on Facebook (Women in Business - - Take the Scary out of Selling).

Stacy chats about her Thanksgiving back east; her nephew’s delicious braised turkey, her chatty in-laws and the overall vibe of the east coast versus west. She also raves about the mockumentary, “Marcel the Shell with Shoes On,” a total must-see! Her wise-beyond-his-year-son, Charlie joins the show for a frank conversation about how gaming, the internet and consuming digital content in general have influenced and impacted the health of his mind, body and spirit. Eye-opening and a little heartbreaking; a classic example of hindsight being 20/20 and hopefully models the importance of open communication between parents and children of all ages. Special thanks to Charlie!

Stacy begins with feedback from last week’s show about plastic surgery featuring, Leela Ward. She also talks about traveling for Thanksgiving and a STACYism about the ego filter we perceive information through. Her guests Pete Connolly of Acute Injury Massage and Kathy Lewis of Elemental Alchemy Healing talk about their work in alternative medicine and experiencing how the other works. As energy movers or “shifters” both Pete and Kathy help to release negative stored energy in the body that has led to mental, emotional, and physical discomfort and depletion. The work they do is lifechanging. Connect with Pete at https://www.aimbypete.com/ and with Kathy at 425-786-7482.

Stacy starts the show with a callback to an episode called, “You Complete Me” about Odin who is still in need of a kidney; take a listen and share to learn more about giving the gift of life this holiday season. Then on the show, Leela Ward talks about her various plastic surgeries; from lip injections to a BBL (with a few things in between). Leela is open about her why, what and how, and shares her family’s reactions along with the one regret she has now that she’s done. They end the episode talking about Airman Transportation, the second-generation, minority-owned business Leela owns and operates.

Back from Italy and straight into the frying pan, it’s been a long week. Stacy gains one cat while babysitting her grand kitty Wilson, and almost loses another when Coal takes off in protest. Back for STACY CONNECTS second anniversary show is Stacy Harris (who is essentially to blame for Stacy ever meeting a mic). They go back to their original concept for the show, picking hard hitting topics from a fishbowl such as, Which of the 7 Dwarfs are you? and “What song do you sing in the shower?” It’s a very Stacy show.

After a week away, Stacy is back. She shares content from GMA as an addendum to her episode with Grace about being drugged while out in Boston. She also thanks JD, Bruce, and Eric for taking care of the show in her absence and showing her so much love. After a short break Stacy launches into a breakneck recap of her trip to Italy; from pasta lunches on quaint side streets in Rome and a near-Holy Heller moment in the Sistine Chapel to harvesting olives, truffle hunting, and wine tasting throughout Umbria. It was a whirlwind trip with too many highlights to count and many memories to cherish.

With Stacy on vacation in villa-esque Italy, her friends JDK Wyneken and Bruce Pflaumer - who also host podcasts that Stacy helped produce - steal the mic for this weeks episode to give her listeners more insight into what makes Stacy great and a World Champion Connector. And don’t worry - they were nice. Mostly.
