Dr. Laura talks with artist Tresa Gibson in Tresa's Calgary studio about overcoming adversities and listening to the call to live an authentic life. Tresa Gibson has been an artist for over twenty years, painting with oil on canvas in bright, vibrant colours with a lot of texture. She shares some of her life stories with Dr. Laura, including some of the struggles she overcame, and explains how art, combined with business acumen and problem-solving skills, helped her realize her most genuine life.Tresa understood she would somehow be in business at a young age but without knowing exactly how. As an adult, she took some art classes and stumbled into her love of painting and her true passion in life. While life threw many challenges in her path, including a very difficult health diagnosis for her son, Tresa's love of art never wavered. She tells Dr. Laura that while the path she walked looked different than she had expected, she heard the “whisper” in her ear and realized her duty in life was to heed that call. Tresa's passion for painting, her steely resolve when faced with challenges, and her openness to listening to her intuition make for a truly inspirational story.   “... similar to when you get in your car to drive home from work, it's a route that you drive all the time, so you're driving along in the car. You're not really consciously thinking ‘I have to turn right here, I have to turn left here.'  You're kind of just doing it. You're in a natural sort of meditative state as far as the drive home. And then you can think of other things. Well, when I'm painting a painting, I kind of open up that same way and I go into sort of an open, natural groove, and the painting just comes through me.” Tresa GibsonWatch this episode on Dr. Laura's YouTube channelAbout Tresa Gibson:Recognized for her unique impressionist style that balances colour and depth, Tresa's work has been described as a simultaneous sense of order and chaos.

How to find your dream farm, with Bonnie Warndahl! If you are searching for your dream farm, this podcast episode with Bonnie Warndahl has you covered. Bonnie searched for years to find the property that is now her Winnowburrow Farm and Florals, in Colfax, Wisconsin. Listen to Bonnie's story about how she came to be interested in gardening and stewarding land. (Thanks, Barbara Kingsolver!) Follow her journey through various programs to learn about farm business, renting farmland as a beginning farmer, losing a farmland deal, and finally finding and purchasing her dream farm.  Warndahl talks about the Renewing the Countryside nonprofit that she works with as a farmland access specialist. From food hubs to farm-to-childcare and connecting farmers with farmland, the organization is building a regional network to prop up farmers of all kinds. The Farmland Access Hub helps assess farmers' readiness for land access, guides farmers in their loan applications, and provides resources to help farmers with their land search and purchase. Dive into the facts about why farmland access is so hard as well as why it's so vital. “It's important for people to understand how dire of a situation we are in, unbeknownst to so many people,” Warndahl says. She continues, talking about an impending food crisis facing the US, given the confluence of the advancing age of farmers, farmland real estate prices and fewer new farmers coming in to replace those who are retiring. Hear about federal and state policy solutions that may help ease some of the issues complicating the current farmland-access crisis. Get Warndahl's best advice for your farmland search, from her lived experience as a beginning farmer trying to purchase land as well as her professional experience as a farmland access specialist. Start by preparing yourself, knowing how and why you're farming, and exploring all manner of outlets to search for land. Best of all, find out how you can get connected to farmland access assistance!  Finally, hear about Warndahl's Winnowburrow Farm and Florals. While Bonnie is currently focusing on her farmland access specialist work, she has big plans for this farm and retreat space.

Ocean Breeze Florals in Newport Beach- a family owned and run flower shop. They do flowers for all occasions. Take a listen!

Florals add so much to any room, especially when used intentionally to reflect the themes and branding of a space. To really take your designs to the next level, you can partner with a floral designer to help you translate your big vision as a designer into a work of living art!Michael O'Neil of Designs by Nourish explains why and how designers can enhance their spaces with floral design, walking us through his own process of working with interior designers. He also shares with us his inspiring journey to creating a business he loves and how he hopes to partner with more designers in the future. Whether you're designing a space for a business or a home, this episode will inspire you to explore the role that florals can play. (And you'll definitely want to consider incorporating them into photoshoots of your designs, too!)About MichaelMichael is a firm believer that there are no true “new beginnings.” Life is a journey where we are continually learning, evolving, growing and accumulating experiences in pursuit of a life that we think is meaningful and that we love living. Michael has come to believe this because he opened a floral design studio, nourish, in 2023 that is the culmination of many seemingly unrelated experiences. The truth is everything Michael has experienced in the past could have led him to a thousand different points, but he consciously evolved into a floral designer because he loves design, he loves flowers and nature, and he loves telling stories, and all of those things are part of his collective experience. Michael's professional background is in product design and brand management—building products and communicating their unique attributes to customers. Over the years, he has studied Interior Space Planning, Ornamental Horticulture, Landscape Design and Floral Design. All very distinct disciplines that share common building blocks — a defined design process, principles and elements of design, color theory.He launched nourish with the idea that florals intentionally designed to communicate the unique attributes of a carefully curated space could be an untapped resource for interior designers and businesses looking to make a strong visual impact with clients and guests. Florals do not need to be avoided or thrown in as an afterthought. They can be an integral layer in the design process to maintain a fresh and ever evolving presence in the space.Featured in this episodeFeatured Tarot deck: Cosmo TarotConnect with Michael and Designs by NourishWebsiteInstagramAre you an interior designer or are you interested in Holistic Interior Design?

Less Trash: There are no boxes, packing paper, bubble wrap, box straps, plastic sleeves, and all the other usual trash that comes with a flower delivery from the traditional wholesaler. More Inspiration:  Designing with the seasons sparks creativity.  No two weeks are the same.  More Community:  Workign with local growers is a very personal connection.  You'll grow your community every time you buy local.

The collection showcased a vibrant mix of large prints, plaids, metallics, and ruffles, crowned with opera gloves for a touch of elegance.   Jonathan Cohen: The Art of Dress   Jonathan Cohen wowed with a collection that felt both timeless and innovative. From pintuck ladylike dresses to vibrant pencil skirts and leather boots, Cohen's signature florals and handcrafted fabric artworks painted a picture of diversity and style.   Proenza Schouler: A Symphony of Sequins and Fringe   The Proenza Schouler show stole Holly's heart with a dazzling display that perfectly encapsulated the brand's innovative spirit. Holly was living for the sequined and fringed creations that graced the runway. Proenza Schouler has an unmatched ability to blend high fashion with wearable art. This show was a testament to the brand's dedication to pushing the boundaries of design.   Sally LaPointe: Hip & Happening Street Style   Sally LaPointe's school-themed show stole the spotlight with models stepping off a school bus, adorned in feathers, neon, and thigh-high boots. This streetwear-centric showcase was a testament to LaPointe's unparalleled cool-every. single. time.   Dell Scott Collection: Feminine & Flowy Fantasies   Holly highlights Dell Scott's feminine and bold womenswear, a blend of classic silhouettes with modern twists, where metallics and tulle danced together in romantic and bridal and party inspired designs.   Jason Wu: Timeless Elegance   Jason Wu's collection mixed sequins, shear, and those now-iconic opera gloves, presenting asymmetrical, off-the-shoulder tops and dresses. Wu continues to dress the stars, maintaining his reputation for classic, beautiful designs.   Evan Hirsch: The Transformative Talent   Evan Hirsch's video game-inspired collection featured transforming gowns that changed styles with a few snaps, a testament to his innovative spirit and creative genius. We love emerging talent.    Trendspotting with Holly:   Girl Core: A trend that embraces all things feminine, from pink and ruffles to oversized Mary Janes. Think baby doll dressing and all things frilly.    White Magic:  White is back with a vengence and takes center stage, from stark white to light ivory, showcased across various fabrics and styles.   The New Neutrals: Shades of brown, from latte to deep coffee and chocolate make a strong statement. Brown rules all this season and can be paired with most colors.    Red Revival: Crimson and red lipstick make a bold runway entrance. Everything from red leather, silks and sheer embraced the runway and for sure is here to stay.    Plaid Parade: Plaids of all types and mix and match for a fresh take on the classic pattern. Madras, tartans, and classic plaids are opposites that now look like they belong together.    Statement Sleeves & Bows: Oversized sleeves and bows adorn everything, adding a touch of drama and femininity. 3-D and printed bows on shoes, tops, sweaters, jackets, and tights will be super popular and on-trend this season.    Metallics, Florals, and Leather: These staples continue to dominate, with a special shoutout to fringe for an extra flair. Sequins during the day? Always.      STOP THE PRESS: In the midst of the fashion frenzy, Holly Katz takes a moment to share a personal highlight – her stepson's upcoming wedding, bringing a touch of heartfelt warmth to the glitz and glamour!   Looking ahead, the Fashion Crimes Podcast promises to keep the excitement alive with episodes that will dive deeper into the trends unveiled at NYFW, featuring exclusive interviews with designers and style experts.

Florals for spring may not be groundbreaking, but you know what is? Today's brain-tingling interview with possibly the single best speaking voice in podcasting, Avery Trufelman, friend of the pod and host of the critically acclaimed fashion series Articles of Interest. Avery joins our season finale episode for a discush about the “cult” of the haute couture industry, from its elitism and exclusivity to its bonkers sense of conspiracy that (spoiler!!) affects us all, whether we realize it or not. Let's just say if you've ever felt stressed about what pants are cool anymore, you are definitely in this cult!!! Stick to the end for our culty verdict and to hear a brief announcement about next season.
