Hello! I'm so happy to be sharing that I will be starting to transition to video content in the coming weeks. This will allow you the opportunity to not only hear from my guests, but see them as well! I'm also sharing about the Summer Mini Series that I'm hosting called Sharing Her Passion. The first event on Thursday, June 5th from 7:00 - 9:00pm will feature Chef Shannon Smith—globe-trotting chef, author, philanthropist, and storyteller. Be part of an intimate live podcast experience as Shannon shares her journey through over 50 countries, where she’s cooked alongside local chefs and home cooks, discovering the stories, flavors, and cultures that have shaped her culinary perspective. During this conversation, guests will learn about how she has build her personal brand, and how her passion for food and philanthropy have taken her around the world and back again. Chef Shannon will also lead guests in a fun, cooking demo where she'll create easy summer appetizers and a refreshing seasonal mocktail—recipes you’ll want to recreate all summer long.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re visiting with Pam Nelson—licensed Professional Counselor, mental health therapist, trauma-informed yoga therapist, and founder of Therapeutic Yoga Services.
