I did it! I took a chance, followed my gut, and launched something brand new. I told myself what I always tell you guys…Risk It! or Regret It! Introducing my brand-new short-form syndicated radio feature: “Keeping the ‘Live' in Alive! with Debbie Nigro” Proudly sponsored by NativePath Collagen — the stuff that's got me hiking again, baby! For the past 6 months, I've been secretly developing this new ‘thing''. Figuring out what it should be, how it should sound, and who would be open enough to collaborate with me.   Why this, why now? Lately, I've found myself diving into wellness like never before. Not just for fun (though some of it is hilarious), but because my biological clock feels more like a ticking time bomb these days. I'm trying to maximize my remaining time on this planet as are many other people I know. I'm constantly researching and talking about mental wellness, physical wellness, nutrition, longevity, and all the weird and wonderful science behind staying vibrant and ALIVE. And sharing it all on my “Wellness Wednesday” segments of The Debbie Nigro Show just wasn't enough anymore. So, I created this new feature — fast-moving, funny, and full of fascinating wellness info — to syndicate nationwide. AND I'm testing it out in real time.    The Launch

Who knocks at midnight—and what do they want? Are these visitors of the night bringing gifts or a curse? When a knock came at midnight, the family inside had no idea the supernatural visitors weren't just visiting—they were hunting.  A seemingly generous call from the Tylwyth Teg—the fairy folk of Welsh folklore—soon unravels into one of the darkest changeling tales ever recorded in Wales. Why did the visitors bring gifts of gold? What happened to the baby in the cradle? And what terrible fate awaited those left behind? Delve into a true 19th-century account of eerie music, fairy rituals, and an exchange that shattered a family—and maybe changed the future of a Welsh farm forever.

Spring wildflowers are popping up all over, and there's no better place to enjoy them than West Virginia state parks…Culinary arts students capitalize on tourism trends…and the West Virginia Entrepreneurship Ecosystem connects entrepreneurs with valuable resources…on today's daily304.   #1 – From NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC –  Few things announce the arrival of spring as much as wildflowers, so what better way to take in the glory of the season than a hike through wildflower-filled fields?  An hour southwest of Charleston, West Virginia, Chief Logan State Park welcomes visitors with 4,000 acres of parkland full of mountains, forest, lakes, rivers, campgrounds, and historical sites. For more than 40 years, the park has hosted a wildflower where park experts lead wildflower seekers on group hikes. When spring hits full bloom (typically between April and May), more than 100 different species of wildflowers can be found in the park, including violet larkspur and Dutchman's breeches. To reserve lodging at Chief Logan or view a calendar of events for West Virginia State Parks, visit wvstateparks.com.

Stakeholders in this flourishing field include everyone from students at a culinary arts kitchen to employees at a visitors center working to attract tourists to the Mountain State. At Mountwest Community and Technical College's Center for Culinary Arts, Program Director Chef Lawerence Perry said the fully equipped kitchens are working labs that teach students to prepare dishes at restaurant venues of all sorts. Perry said his students can go wherever their passions take them, but are encouraged to make menu choices come alive in the Mountain State. Mountwest's Culinary Arts program blends in-class lecture theory, hands-on application and in-field lab practicum placement. These teaching methods ensure graduates are equipped with well-rounded expertise in knife skills and food production, classic baking and pastry techniques and restaurant and culinary operations management.

"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you." – Matthew 6:33This verse calls us to put God's Kingdom first in every aspect of our lives—including our investments—trusting that He will provide and use our efforts to advance His purposes.

Since 2020, they've donated nearly $750,000 to ministries advancing the gospel and protecting life.Their giving is focused on two core pillars:Sanctity of LifeSpreading the GospelFrom local to global, the ministries they support reflect these values.Ministries Making a DifferenceLocal Impact: Prestonwood Pregnancy CenterLocated in the Dallas area, this center is an extension of Prestonwood Baptist Church and serves women with compassionate care and gospel-centered support during unplanned pregnancies.They provide honest care, real information, and a strong infrastructure to support needy women. National Reach: Psalm 139 ProjectThis initiative provides ultrasound machines and resources to pregnancy centers nationwide, reinforcing the value of life and empowering expectant mothers.Meeting Physical Needs in the Name of JesusGuidestone also supports ministries that serve practical needs as an avenue for gospel outreach.Send ReliefA joint venture between the International Mission Board (IMB) and the North American Mission Board (NAMB), Send Relief addresses urgent needs like the following:Medical Missions in VenezuelaEntrepreneurial training for widows in AfricaLocal development projectsThese efforts not only meet physical needs but also open doors for evangelism.Faith-Based Content for Kids: Meet MinnoRecognizing the need for Christ-centered media, Guidestone supports Minno, a streaming platform offering biblically grounded content for children.

My guest for Episode #302 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Tash Doherty, a British-Irish-American author, blogger, and podcaster currently based in Mexico City. A graduate of the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, Tash previously worked in analytics for Postmates and Vox Media. Episode page with video, transcript, and more Today, she is the creator of Miss Educated—a popular blog and podcast covering business, pleasure, and women's health. Tash is also the author of the coming-of-age young adult novel These Perfectly Careless Things, self-published in 2023. She gained viral attention on TikTok by openly sharing her experiences with birth control. Fresh out of Wharton at age 23, Tash joined Postmates in San Francisco, working in analytics. When offered a team change, Tash ignored her gut instinct and reluctantly joined a team run by a manager whose working style clashed sharply with her own. Within months, their professional relationship deteriorated, leading to Tash's unexpected firing just two weeks before the company conducted widespread layoffs. Initially painful, this mistake forced Tash to reassess her career direction, ultimately opening the door to writing, entrepreneurship, and creative independence—turning a devastating setback into her favorite mistake. In this episode, we also discuss Tash's insightful critique of technology companies and their unintended contributions to economic inequality, her process of transforming a teenage passion project into a published novel, and practical advice on balancing creativity with financial sustainability. Questions and Topics: What's your favorite mistake? Were there early signs of trouble with your boss, Sumit, or did problems develop later? How did you choose Postmates as your first job after graduating from Wharton? Did your poor relationship with Sumit impact your job performance? Was it hard to trust another company or manager after that experience? Did you ever consider starting your own company again after leaving Postmates? Do entrepreneurs have a responsibility to reduce economic inequality, or is that up to policymakers? What specific mistakes do you see tech companies making right now? What led you to write your article, "How Tech Is Ruining the World"? Can you elaborate on how tech companies like Postmates worsen inequality? What did you mean when you described tech workers as being "incurious about the machine"? Is the tech industry truly improving society or causing greater harm? How should entrepreneurs or policymakers handle technologies that cause harm when scaled? Tell us about writing your book, These Perfectly Careless Things—how did it evolve over time? How do you decide when your writing is finished and ready to publish?

Today's episode featured David Clements as host, joined by guest Kris Jurski. The two tackled some critical issues worth your attention. They started with the ongoing legal battles plaguing the Trump administration, pointing to Democrat-appointed judges like Boasberg and Roberts. Some are calling these moves a judicial coup, designed to stall Trump's plans and keep his administration in check. It's a messy fight, and they broke down how these court challenges are shaping up. Next, they covered the Trump administration's third cabinet meeting, which happened today. The meeting exposed significant fraud—details that point to deeper problems—while also showcasing the administration's focus on big investments and a strengthening economy. It's a contrast of setbacks and steps forward, and Clements and Jurski laid out what it all means. On top of that, Kris Jurski brought some fresh insights from his ongoing investigations into the electoral system. He's been digging into the dirt, uncovering issues that raise serious questions about how things are run. His latest discoveries add weight to the discussion and give plenty to think about.
