Resolutions, Encouragement, and Pete Davidson
For the first episode of the new year, the PositiviTEAM talks about saving the turtles, their picks for the next Jeopardy hosts, and people's green New Year's Resolutions (not just wearing green for a whole year. That's my idea. Don't steal it). They also offer support and encouragement to embody entering into the new year and discuss the continued complexities around Covid-19 and offer support to anyone who might have tested positive.  For the New Year, remember that it's important to be kind to yourself. Things are still strange and ever-shifting, so give yourself space to feel that and take care of you.  *Graphics by Campbell Depken *Hosts - Young Seo Kim, Kayleigh Richmond, Saishaa Gupta, Carter Dvorak  *Editing and Production by Cheezy Uche and Carter Dvorak Here are the links of the episode for both our social medias and the stories we discuss -  Greener Resolutions for People Story - https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/40-percent-say-their-new-years-resolutions-involve-being-greener-in-2022/ Greener Strides for Global Shipping Story - https://www.goodnewsnetwork.org/2021-saw-global-shipping-take-steps-to-reduce-emissions/ PositiviTEA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/positivitea.podcast/ PositiviTEA Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/313626449686521/?ref=share PositiviTEA TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiviteapodcast?lang=en PositiviTEA Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXtlS7sxCgpYY1p6K-ZWgZg/featured PositiviTEA Email: [email protected] *We are happy to provide a transcription of this episode upon request! Super Secret Bonus Message: If you are looking for a good soundtrack to play in the background with homework, cooking, or just to vibe with, I completely recommend playlist from the movie Chef. I also suggest you watch Chef if you are interested in a heartfelt movie about cooking and family bonding (language warning, however). Otherwise, I hope that 2022 goes well for you, and we can give you any needed boosts of positivity. Tell a friend you appreciate them. Wishing you all the best, Carter

PositiviSpeedy - Good News in a FLASH
Our name is PositiviTEA, and we are the fastest podcast alive. Well . . . at least we tried to be with this episode. Facing the ticking clocks of scheduled commitments and gradually dying AirPods, the PositiviTEAM attempts to make a "quick" episode of the podcast. Did we succeed? You can be the judge.  Anyways, there are a multitude of wonderful stories including a followup to a story from our very first episode and discussing more sustainable replacements than salt for deicing roads. We hope you enjoy and have a wonderful end to 2021. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling 22. 2022 that is. Here's our links! PositiviTEA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/positivitea.podcast/ PositiviTEA Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/313626449686521/?ref=share PositiviTEA TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiviteapodcast?lang=en PositiviTEA Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXtlS7sxCgpYY1p6K-ZWgZg/featured PositiviTEA Email: [email protected] *We are happy to provide a transcription of this episode upon request! Bonus Message: Not a whole lot from me. Hawkeye ended and it was fantastic. I completely recommend it even if you are not the biggest Marvel fan. There is an abundance of humor, holiday cheer, and heart that will keep it as a holiday classic on my TV. Also, I am currently one run in, and I'm going to his publish and begin my second one. Have a great day, month, and year. Remember to take care of yourselves and show some self-love.  Wishing you all the best,  Carter

Thanksgiving and the Newest, Coolest Vending Machines
Hello and happy belated Turkey (or your preferred Thanksgiving dish, I'm a sweet potato man myself) Day! This episode, the PositiviTEAM talks about their highlights of Thanksgiving Break and dishes on some awesome good news about florals with a cause, the internet's investment in one Thanksgiving get-together, and Giving Machines, a vending machine where you give back to those around you. We had a blast making it, and we hope you have a wonderful time listening to it! Have a great day, week, month, year, or any stretch of time, and remember to take care of yourself. As always, below are some sweet links to some cool social media accounts that I would recommend you check out:  PositiviTEA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/positivitea.podcast/ PositiviTEA Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/313626449686521/?ref=share PositiviTEA TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@positiviteapodcast?lang=en PositiviTEA Youtube Channel:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCXtlS7sxCgpYY1p6K-ZWgZg/featured PositiviTEA Email: [email protected] *We are happy to provide a transcription of this episode upon request! Super Secret Bonus Note: Sticking on the MCU theme, Hawkeye is out on Disney Plus and so far it's pretty great! Maybe it's just the Hailee Steinfled fan in me but Kate Bishop is becoming one of my new favorite MCU characters. Aside from that its just about December so now you can really bust out the holiday decorations or specials of choice. I will always suggest the Ted Lasso Christmas Special! It's so lovely and wholesome! It is season 2 episode 4 so that means you have to watch the rest of the show first, but it's amazing and if you like this show I think you'll love Ted Lasso! That's it from me. We're rooting for you over here, and I hope we can bring some positivity into your world!  Best,  Carter
