Tiffany Ann is a Hospice Administrator in Flint, Michigan. Yes, that Flint, Michigan. Where the water is still not pure, and the protests against stay at home orders really began. We talked about the difficulty of running a hospice during this outbreak, as well as the anxieties that come with living in a state where the Governor is having to make some very unpopular decisions. We laughed too. Like we do. Please share. Please review. Please let me know if you would like to talk.

The Essential Lighter Side : Gigging Musician Gerry Rosenthal

It started as a weight loss podcast, which quickly became a mental health podcast, which somehow became a pandemic podcast.  Jay, your host  (anxiety/depression/OCD/childhood trauma/family addiction)  lost 185 lbs after having bariatric surgery.  Guests have ranged from actor Ken Marino to a woman you have never heard of who lost 250 lbs, to a recovering addict, to essential workers during COVID-19. In 2020, the show became daily and ran for 100 episodes in 100 days. The culmination of everything The Lighter Side strove to be, Jay created an oral history of the pandemic, as told through the voices of the people who lived through it. There's something for everyone on the Lighter Side.
