We were incredibly honored to welcome Zaina Greene to The Hot Flash Podcast in this episode.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin Y'all... here's the deal... we are still growing, we too are still getting better and learning.

Do you struggle with being prepared? Do you struggle with procrastinating? Remember - you can do better! Start with just one thing you will do different today and that small change, done consistently, will change you and move into your whole life.

It is time to brag on our holy hotties... our husbands! In this episode of The Hot Flash Podcast, we (Amy and Anita), share stories about our guys! With almost 50 years of marriage between the two of us, it was time to share some of the things we love, and believe it or not, are still learning about these fantastic men! And don't be disillusioned, marriage is TOUGH! But when you make a decision everyday to love the one you're with, that makes all the difference in the world. Thanks for listening!

Let's On Episode 3 of The Hot Flash Podcast, we tackle "the why"! Having a "why" can be a powerful tool, yep, tool. It can compel you to get up in the morning, do hard work, stay focused, even step outside your comfort zone. For years, Amy thought your "why" had to be a string of amazing words that were eloquently put together and would make your heart leap out of your chest when uttered, but that's just not true. A "why" is personal, it changes as we grow and change and a "why" can be simple. Your family is a fantastic "why", building wealth, growing a legacy, to pay off student loans, to grow and be a better version of yourself, all fantastic "whys". In this episode, we want to encourage you to think about your "why", write it down, remind yourself of your "why" and watch how this small, yet significant practice, can make a difference.

"Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind." Why do we care so much what people think about us? Why do we waste time and energy worried about what our friend from college or high school (who by the way we haven't seen in YEARS) might react to something we are doing? The thought that rolls around in our heads... "Well they knew me wayyy back then... and who am I to do this?" You know what... WHO CARES!! It is time to get past imposter syndrome and it is absolutely something we can do. How do you do it? What are practical ways you can renew your mindset? In Episode 2 of Season 2, Amy and Anita discuss the very real imposter syndrome, that they deal with a lot, even making the podcast, even still in season 2. YET, through the grace of God, through a focus on renewing the mind, encourage you to continue to move forward.

We are always excited to have a guest in the studio and this episode we are thrilled to introduce you to Terri Spears! Terri is the "queen of hospitality" and we have had the privilege to attend multiple events she has created, one of which was the wedding of Amy's son, Gabe, earlier this year. Hospitality is so important, not because it makes things beautiful, but because it shows people how much you care about them. We hope you enjoy this episode and pick up a few tips along the way!

So we're not gonna lie... we had a big huge EEEKKK moment when Le picked up the phone and said "Hi"!

You will notice right away this hot flash lasted a longer than normal, cause it was too good to leave! (So no apologies here!) We hope you will be inspired and motivated as Le shares her story, what matters more than losing weight, and just encourages you!

On this episode of The Hot Flash Podcast, Amy and Anita discuss why hard work gets a bad wrap and their tips for doing the hard stuff. Growing up surrounded by an entrepreneurial family with a very strong work ethic, it was never up for debate, but in today's click-first, microwave society, hard work seems to quickly be becoming a bad word. Amy and Anita share what they've learned about hard work and why it is so important, even though it is never easy, but always worth it. Tell them what you're working hard on! Tag #TheHFPC with your answer. Remember, you CAN do hard things! FOLLOW All Things HFPC on: Instagram - @thehfpc FB - @thehfpc

In this episode we talk productivity and the very thing that fights ours daily, squirreling! We share tips for how we get things done, both professionally and personally. Quote from this episode - “The shortest pencil is better than the longest memory.” - Tim Pecoraro What is your favorite productivity tool? Do you squirrel as much as us?

"Grandparents, like heroes, are as necessary to a child's growth as vitamins." - Joyce Allston In this episode of The Hot Flash podcast , Amy and Anita take a trip down memory lane as they chat about where they believe their mutual love of coffee started. Growing up just a 1/4 mile below their dad's parents, affectionately known as Papa and Mama Mac, they recall how spending the night with them always meant Mama Mac's version of coffee and biscuits. If you love coffee as much as they do, try out some of their local favorites! And if you're ever in the Upstate of SC, be sure to check them out too.

In episode 8 of The Hot Flash Podcast, Amy and Anita are joined by their friend, Doris Atkins. Doris is Texan through and through, but for a few years she lived in SC and we got to know her. We share the story of how we met Doris and how quickly our friendship began. Doris is an amazing woman with a passion for cooking and loving Jesus and people through her home-cooked meals. She shares tips that have helped her get dinner on the table for years. There are so many little nuggets of gold in the next few minutes (and not chicken nuggets! TEASER ALERT: Her son didn't know what a happy meal was until he was almost 5!) We hope this episode encourages and inspires you to get those meals on the table, even on the toughest of days. A Few of Doris's favorites: Crock Pot Green Enchilada Chicken Soup 2.5 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts 28 oz. can of green enchilada sauce 24 oz. chicken broth 2 cups Monterrey Jack cheese 4 oz cream cheese, cubed at room temp 4 oz. green salsa (salsa verde) Salt/pepper to taste Instructions: In the crockpot add chicken breasts, green enchilada sauce, and chicken broth. Cook on low for 6 - 8 hours. About 30 minutes before serving, remove chicken and shred, then add shredded chicken, Monterrey jack cheese, cream cheese, and green salsa to the crockpot. Replace the lid and cook until the cheeses are melted. (You can add additional salsa for taste.) Top with sliced avocado, cilantro (if you're a fan), green onion, and sour cream. For added crunch, add strips of tortillas. Green Chile Frittata 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 10 eggs, lightly beaten 1/2 pound butter or margarine, slightly melted and cooled 2 cups small curd cottage cheese 1 pound Monterrey Jack cheese, grated 3 4 oz. cans diced green chiles Salt/ pepper to taste Instructions: Preheat over to 350º. Butter a 9x13 inch shallow baking dish. Mix flour and baking powder. Add eggs and butter, blending well. Blend in the remaining ingredients. Put the mixture in a prepared baking dish and bake for 35 - 45 minutes, or until set.
