Author, Anna Pulley joins Katie and I to discuss her new book, Pivot, which she refers to as a "queer, rom-com," which has torpedoed to the top 100 books on Amazon since its release this past Tuesday.   As if being an author of her fourth book wasn't enough, Anna also talks with us about her experience being an advice columnist, her journey with hearing loss, and her experiences in the world of erotica. Listener's Note: this episode is for mature audiences!  

They say not to meet your heroes because you might be let down. I wholeheartedly disagree with this as I met one of my heroes in this episode, the one and only Michael Eck. Not only is Michael an accomplished musician having just been inducted into the Capital Region Thomas Edison Music Hall of Fame, but he is also a theater critic, writer, painter and simply put, just a damn nice guy! BE SURE to CLICK LISTEN to check out one of my favorite episodes to date!

We're Back! After a small summer hiatus we are back and better than ever with a lineup of guests that rivals the best of them! In this episode we meet interior designer, Sara Harrison who makes spaces beautiful which, of course, equates to making the world that surrounds the spaces she designs beautiful. After listening to this fantastic interview, you will find it no surprise that her tremendous positive energy finds its way into each and every design Sara creates!

Did you know you can milk a buffalo? Katie and I sure didn't. Rachel Elman O'Shea's story is most certainly one of a kind having moved from the U.S. to Singapore and now, along with her partner, running a real working buffalo farm in Laos! Be sure to check this one out!

Sierra is one of the most intelligent people I know. She should be given the enormous amount of education she has received towards becoming a doctor in psychology. Not just that but Sierra has such a positive and uplifting attitude towards life it is no wonder people go to her for guidance. Be sure to listen to this wonderful episode and prepare to have your head shrunk!

What is it like to be the leads in both Rent and Dreamgirls?

Well, it's finally my turn. We have gotten a lot of requests for me to be on the interviewee side of the mic and with my milestone birthday approaching we felt this would be the best time to do it and who better to conduct the interview than Katie! This was certainly a roller coaster of an interview for me - fun, emotional, introspective, and who ever knew I would be asked what kind of food I would want to be?! I hope you enjoy listening to this interview as much as I had doing it.

Interviewing Danielle was one of the most calming, soothing, experiences of our entire run. Danielle is a mother, a wife, and the business owner of Love+Show which she calls "granny baking" full of delectable, locally sourced baked goods. Katie and I absolutely loved this show and we just know you will as well!

Our interview with Patti Eick Hutzel equates to exactly why we started this podcast - to learn about people that you sort of know but not really. Patti and I attended the same college, had a lot of the same friends, ran in the same circles but didn't really know one another. It was only through these many years on social media together we started to know each other. This was such a fascinating interview - learning about Patti being an interior designer, work flow designer, photographer, and tv show extra!

Healing. We all could us it in one way or another. Sometimes it would be nice to give ourselves over to someone to help lead us through that journey. With her selfless powers of healing, this is what Nikki Glotfelty does - helps others, help themselves. Join us in this very enlightening interview where Katie and I learned what it is to be a healer of others.
