What's your dream? It's not every day you meet someone following their dream, really following their dream and not willing to compromise themselves to realize the dream. Today's spotlight showcases Michael Jedrzejewski, an aspiring screenwriter pursuing his dream in Hollywood. His story starts well before this one as an immigrant from Poland in the 1980's. His family followed their dream to live in the US. He continued his dream to write and be true to himself and his art. The rug was pulled out from under him multiple times and then there was the diagnosis that changed his life. I can't think of a more quintessential American Hollywood Dream story than Michael's. We talk immigration, writing samples, college memories and his life as it is now. In a nutshell, he has a dream, he has integrity, and he has hope.

Ep. 96 - I want to share with our listeners one of the biggest reasons why I wanted to highlight Candace on an episode. It's not just because she's cute, or because I adored Fuller House. It's not the adorable fashion line she has either. All of that is fun and there are other celebrities out there that I could say all of that about. But what has drawn me to Candace and kept me following her these past few years is that she's had the courage to stand on her convictions and faith. Candace has her branding ON POINT and I might be wee bit jealous. This is what I've always wanted to have - multiple outlets for reaching people, entertaining them, and helping them grow.

Ep. 85 We don't hear as much about ladies when it comes to serial murder crimes. In the battle of the sexes, the men are taking the cake on this one. However, there is a method of murder that women tend to gravitate towards more than men. POISON! In today's episode, you'll discover that women poisoners generally kill their family members for money (one said it was for "love") while others are just purely evil and will attack the most vulnerable in the population solely for money.

Ep. 81 While we make look at asylums today as barbaric, they were actually a much better option for people deemed to be “lunatics" (how awful) at least in their inception. Before this time people's families would lock them in basements, chain them to walls, and deprive them of basic humanity. Unfortunately, due to lack of funding and overcrowding and some just plain awful practices from doctors at the time, many of the patients at asylums suffered the same types of atrocities and sometimes even worse ones. In this episode we explore the real-life horrors that happened in these grandiose institutions, tell a few haunting stories and give you a list of movies to watch if you want to be further creeped out. || Real relatable entertainment focusing on history, culture and curiosities || 2 Monicas Podcast a Nothing Serious Production https://www.2monicaspodcast.com Follow us on all social media @2monicaspodcast Additional podcasts: Parenting with Heart Spotlight Interviews Legacy Sponsors for Season Two: www.kristinschmokecoaching.com www.skinbyamethyst.com Kris Porter, Travel Concierge (@travelwithgraceandjoy)

The 90's was a transformitive decade for many of us and the music helped to shape it. Alternative pushed it's way to the front stage. Kurt Cobain's suicide dominated headlines.
