And my guest is Steve Scanlon, the CEO and co-founder of Rewire, where they develop people by helping transform the way they think so that they may experience authentic and sustainable positive change. Steve, welcome to the show. Thanks, Steve. Great to be here. It's nice to have someone named Steve. Makes it easy for us. Yeah, we have very unique names, don't we? So let's start with your personal “Why.” So what is your personal “Why” and what are you doing to manifest it in your business? Yeah, I have to be honest with you and tell you that I learned something from one of your podcasts not long ago because you interviewed somebody who talked about their “Why” changing. I thought that was super interesting and it actually helped me identify with the fact that I don't think my “Why” has been static at all. And so I have to consider what that is today. And it really is in that little introduction, how do we help people? And by that, I also mean the man in the mirror, me, right? How do we help people genuinely transform in the way that they think? When I say genuinely, not because we read something, not because we get excited, but how does the human brain actually change. This is a field in neuroscience called plasticity, how the human brain changes. And my “Why” is effectively, if you wanted to talk about it, I guess scientifically, is how can I bring neuroplasticity to bear in individuals so that they can have authentic transformation in their life, in their business, in their relationships. And so, yeah, I think that's my “Why” today. Yeah, love it. It's a very interesting context and kind of framing that to change the neuroplasticity of the brain, because it kind of gives you a tangible, I don't know if you can call it tangible, but at least something to visualize that what's going on in this process. So what I love about your approach that we actually created an acronym for the framework you're using to do that, which is the acronym is REWIRE. So it's very easy to see what you're trying to achieve here. You're trying to rewire people and to actually quiet their lizard brain. So let's talk first about this whole concept of the lizard brain, what it is and why do you need to quiet it? Well, I published that book on The Lizard Brain, I don't know, 8 years ago now, and I will tell you that if you lined up, I don't know, 10 neuroscientists and you ask them, what is the lizard brain? You would get 10 different answers. So we should start with that. And by the way, 2 out of the 10 would say it doesn't exist and it's a fabrication. How about that? I've actually had some people write to me and the internet these days, people will write you all kinds of stuff and one person was particularly upset because they thought I was spreading misinformation by even talking about the lizard brain. First of all, the lizard brain, as I understand it and as I have worked with it as a framework is a construct in the mind. It's more of a construct and less of a biological feature of the brain. So when somebody says, hey, what's the hippocampus? What's the thalamus? What's the amygdala? What are these features of the brain?

A few years ago, I stopped marketing to the reptilian brain. My conscience could no longer tolerate it… By “lizard brain” I mean the parts within people that are governed by fear, greed, and impatience. To see a real example analyzed, see here: To get more sales, market to the “lizard brain”…? This is a public episode.

Behind any creation, there's the work of a mind. That mind is often fearful and insecure. "They might not like this. They might not like ME." You're an artist. You can't afford to let someone else's mind harm your own. But you're also an artist who wants to be liked and accepted. Do you have the courage not to be? I invited my friend, Bree Aesie, to talk about this. Bree studied psychology and has been building on the internet since 2020. Consistently. She's the host of "Into the Story," a wonderful storytelling podcast for learners of English I wish had been around when I was a learner myself.

Natalie McVeigh joins me to talk about her interest in the study of neuroscience of stress and conflict and how she uses what she continues to learn about human brains, emotions, and stimuli in her work with families as a coach, consultant, and mediator. And she helps to bust a few brain myths. Here are some key points Natalie made: perception is everything. When we think about conflict we should focus not on the stimuli (which can very rarely control), but on our response to stimuli. We are 100% irrational. Our beliefs follow our behavior.Natalie recommended two books by Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett: How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain andSeven and a Half Lessons About the Brain. She also mentioned Fault Lines: Fractured Families and How to Mend Them by Karl Pillemer.Find her on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nataliemcveigh/Find Natalie at EisnerAmper here: https://www.eisneramper.com/about-us/professional-directory/natalie-mcveigh/Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Visit us at shapedbydog.com Have you ever been triggered by social media dramas about dog training methods? It's likely something we all experience. There was a recent incident at Crufts that flowed into the social channels this week that had a lot of thoughts flooding into my brain, including the question of how can we, as a community of dog loving reinforcement-based trainers, show up as our best selves when we get triggered by things out of our control? I'd love to open a dialogue on this topic and want to convey the compassion and empathy I have for everybody when sharing my experiences and observations in this episode. I understand that, for many, it might be a difficult conversation. In this episode you'll hear: • About fog training, controversy and social media dramas. • That we can all be triggered by differing dog training methods. • Thoughts on the core values of reinforcement-based training. • Why I'm not the same person or dog trainer I was 30 years ago. • My experience with being a guest on a podcast with a balanced dog trainer. • Insights into the evolution of dog training perspectives over time. • Why I called Jean Donaldson and had an enlightening conversation. • That we need grace and compassion for ourselves, and the big question.

If it seems to you that Attention Deficit / Hyper Activity Disorder (ADHD) is everywhere these days, you're not wrong. There are a variety of reasons as to why this particular neurodivergency is diagnosed with greater frequency than ever before. Most of those reasons have to do with advances in research and technology. ADHD seems to function an awful lot like "Lizard Brain", a term used by today's guest– author, eventer, and former psychotherapist, Andrea Monsarrat Waldo. Andrea and Helena talk about the similarities between the brain of a horse and the brain of a human with ADHD. Why? Because the comparisons offer an opportunity for greater understanding (and hopefully appreciation) of your horse's behavior, as well as your own. And the more we understand our horses, the more effective and compassionate trainers we can be. This is super cool stuff, so listen in! This episode is brought to you by AMERICAN STALLS
Medical Gaslighting Exposed. You've been going to psychotherapy for months, doing everything your doctor tells you, but it's 5 steps forward, 5 steps back. When you voice your concerns, they're brushed off or quick to prescribe a symptom suppressor
In this episode of the Big Chew Podcast, Noah and Zach discuss a conversation between Barry Weiss and Tim Urban. They cover topics such as the history of humanity, the lizard brain vs the higher brain, politics and echo chambers, universities and ideological supremacy, liberal social justice vs social justice fundamentalism, procrastination and happiness, and social media and comparison. The conversation explores the impact of these themes on society and offers insights into how individuals can navigate these challenges. Takeaways Universities have shifted from being idea laboratories to idea supremacists, limiting the diversity of ideas and stifling intellectual growth. There are two distinct forms of social justice: liberal social justice, which seeks to improve the nation, and social justice fundamentalism, which seeks to tear down and rebuild the entire system. Procrastination is a result of our evolutionary programming and the struggle between our lizard brain and higher brain. Social media promotes comparison and image crafting, leading to feelings of inadequacy and unhappiness.

In this episode of the podcast Self-Funded with Spencer, hosted by Spencer Smith and featuring Sam Moen, the co-founder of MD Direct, the discussion centered around MD Direct's unique approach to optimizing healthcare and nutrition. MD Direct is a healthcare company that aims to bridge the gap in hospital nutrition and diet, focusing on individual performance and optimizing knowledge to help patients achieve their health goals. One of the key factors that impact MD Direct's approach is the disconnect in healthcare, particularly in musculoskeletal (MSK) and orthopedic care. This category is the largest spending category for employers in healthcare, accounting for a significant portion of healthcare costs. Sam Moen, co-founder of MD Direct, emphasizes the importance of addressing this issue, stating, "Getting good musculoskeletal health is what we think is the most important problem for employers to solve." Orthopedic care alone accounts for 5.76% of the GDP, making it a significant financial burden on both individuals and employers. The prevalence of musculoskeletal injuries, coupled with the high cost of treatment, highlights the need for a more efficient and effective approach to healthcare in this area. MD Direct aims to optimize healthcare visits, reduce leakage, and improve overall efficiency in the healthcare system. They specialize in triaging patients and determining the most appropriate treatment pathway, prioritizing starting with the least critical intervention. By utilizing data from wearables and predictive analytics, MD Direct aims to improve patient care and outcomes. One of the challenges MD Direct faces is the traditional healthcare model, which is not designed for efficiency. Moen acknowledges this, stating, "The traditional healthcare model isn't designed for efficiency. Unfortunately for you and me, the efficiency really is for the physicians. For billing insurance companies." MD Direct aims to disrupt this model by focusing on delivering the best clinical model to patients, with a focus on rapid diagnosis and treatment. Another important aspect of MD Direct's approach is the integration of nutrition and diet into healthcare. Moen highlights the lack of understanding and coaching on nutrition and diet in hospitals, stating, "The hospitals don't understand anything about nutrition and diet. They don't coach you on anything." MD Direct aims to address this gap by creating a connection between health and wellness, providing patients with the necessary information and support to make informed decisions about their nutrition and diet. MD Direct also works closely with employers to create clinical pathways and engage employees when they need it most. Moen emphasizes the importance of financial incentives for employees, stating, "If you can get the financial incentive to the employees, that's a great way to see engagement tick." By designing benefit plans that make it financially beneficial for employees to choose MD Direct's approach, they aim to increase engagement and improve overall health outcomes.

In this episode of De-Escalation Conversations, we delve into the fascinating world of neuroscience and its powerful connection to goal setting. Kerry explores how setting clear, actionable goals not only directs our efforts effectively but also triggers changes in the way our brains operate. By breaking down the science behind goal achievement and the role of dopamine in reinforcing positive behavior, Kerry will provide practical tips for aligning our goals with our brain's natural processes. Drawing from real-world examples, Kerry will show you how to combat procrastination and achieve success by leveraging our brain's capabilities. Tune in to discover how setting and achieving goals is a conversation with our brains, empowering us to reach new heights.QUOTES:Setting Specific Goals: "Vague goals aren't helpful.

In today's episode, Gina discusses the lizard brain (the amygdala) and how we can use our capacity for higher reasoning to manage and direct the lizard brain to our advantage. Checking in with ourselves and assessing whether the discomfort we are experiencing is really dangerous can help us reduce lizard brain activation and thereby reduce our anxiety.

Quote: If you don't manage your reptilian brain, it will manage you. -Ram V Iyer Chapters 0:00:24 Understanding the Lizard Brain and Its Effects 0:02:09 The Role of the Amygdala in Warning and Protecting Us 0:03:44 Utilizing Our Evolved Brain to Manage Anxiety 0:06:18 Recognizing discomfort vs. danger and managing stress 0:17:29 Retraining the Brain to Manage Discomfort 0:19:02 Taking Control of the Lizard Brain Summary In today's episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, we delve into the topic of managing the lizard brain, which refers to the amygdala. The amygdala serves as an alarm system in our brain, alerting us to potential danger and feeding off worry and stress. However, it is within our power to manage this response. The lizard brain should only be activated in moments of genuine danger, but often, we mistakenly overuse or overstimulate it by perceiving everyday worries and stressors as real threats. In contrast, our prefrontal cortex is a remarkable part of our brain that enables us to think and make rational decisions. We must learn to ask ourselves if we are genuinely in danger when faced with challenging situations. If not, we can allow the amygdala to settle down and return to a state of rest. It's crucial to recognize that discomfort and negative emotions are a normal part of the human experience, but attaching unnecessary worry and storytelling to them only intensifies the lizard brain's response. Instead, we can draw inspiration from animals who simply shake off danger or conflict and move forward. By leveraging our prefrontal cortex and effectively managing our lizard brain, we can discover peace and serenity in our lives. What sets us apart from other animals is our thinking ability. However, this very ability often leads us astray by keeping our amygdala, the primitive part of our brain responsible for fear and survival instincts, in a constant state of activation. Our thoughts, worries, and stressors only serve to amplify the situation. When we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, it is crucial to practice asking a simple question: "Am I truly in danger right now?" Discomfort does not necessarily indicate danger, and recognizing this can prevent the lizard brain from seizing control and subjecting our bodies to undue stress. We must train ourselves to differentiate between discomfort and genuine danger, allowing our amygdala to guide us only when facing true peril. By taking a step back, acknowledging our safety, and focusing on bodily sensations such as breathing and muscle relaxation, we can shift our mindset from fear to tranquility. It is essential to grant ourselves permission to experience discomfort and avoid triggering our amygdala with unnecessary stressors. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Visit us at shapedbydog.com The legendary Laurie C. Williams, our one and only Canine Diva, joins me for a chat on what it really takes to be in the business of training dogs. Laurie and I are kindred spirits and started dog training way back when compulsion was standard for any dog training class. We have forged paths to bring positive reinforcement to the forefront and inspire up-and-coming dog trainers to make a career in helping dog owners have the best relationship possible with the dogs in their life. Enjoy this extract from our livestream celebrating 200 episodes of Shaped by Dog. In the episode you'll hear: • Advice for aspiring dog trainers on the positive reinforcement path. • How dog training communities evolved from kennel clubs to social media. • Why a good professional dog trainer needs to be a “people person” first. • Why respect must be earned from your audience authentically. • Why first-time dog owners often make the best students. • About dog training on social media and advice for longevity. • Why to hone dog training skills first so you can show and not simply tell. • Why Laurie's top tip for dog trainers is to talk less, train more. • That the average dog training student will only take a class for 8 weeks. • How Laurie structured her class offerings with levels so students could make the most progress. • About pushing through fear in your dog training business. • The importance of qualifying the right students for you vs. anyone off the street.

Easter episode! Chameleons are the subject this time. I'm very interested to hear how Readys Rainforest keeps their animals, in part, because I've interviewed a chameleon keeper from the east coast, where I'm at now. I really like what Lee and Amanda are doing and I want to see what the difference is between chams on the east coast of the US and chams in Texas. They have beautiful animals and I can't wait to hear all about it!

Your lizard brain takes everything you want. Learn how to hear it and fight back!
Special guests Spike O'Neill & Joe Bryant, and Shawn Alexander. Bob is experiencing the effects of a Bomb Cyclone and Atmospheric River in Malibu Canyon. Zip is in love with the Facebook Whistleblower: Frances Haugen. She says Facebook is "scared". And she has advice for Elon Musk. Spike and Joe are special guests once again.. Joe is playing with OpenAI/ChatGPT, New Years' Resolutions. Seattle School District suing Social Media. And female M&M's? What is "Executive Function" and why is it the enemy of your Lizard Brain? Positive Law with Shawn Alexander. We update you on our "off the grid" friend Mark, and try to help a struggling small business cope with live music. We're taken aback by the pro drumming skills of (then) 8 year-old @yoyoka_soma in her 'breakout' video covering Led Zeppelin's 'Good Times, Bad Times'. Bob hopes to meet her, learning she and her family have moved to Las Vegas.
Did you know you could change your iPhone's Wi-Fi network during the setup process? How about the Terminal's ability to show you a list of remote connection options? These are just the first two Quick Tips this week, and it continues from there, folks! Listen as John and Dave take […]
Tami Asars has finished the triple crown of long distance hiking, having just completed the Appalachian Trail (2,194.3 miles). She's also hiked The Pacific Crest Trail (2,650 miles), and the Continental Divide Trail (3,100 miles). Spike compares her to Forrest Gump, which believe it or not, is high praise from him! We review the number one lesson to be learned in the outdoors (spoiler alert: Delayed Gratification).. What is your Lizard Brain, and why do Political Ads only appeal to your primitive emotions? Bob recommends a brilliant book written by noted UW neurobiologist John Medina: Brain Rules for Work: the science of thinking smarter in the office and at home. Only buy this if you want to make your Lizard Brain nervous. Why Bob has always preferred Jay Leno over other late night TV hosts. (We wish him a speedy recovery). Zip, Bob and Spike all loved someone the media loved to hate this week. What everyone got wrong about Dave Chappelle's SNL monologue. Bob has decided to embrace “both-sides-ism”, which is saying "both sides lie" when one side lies prolifically and shamelessly and the other side tells smaller lies. It's a crazy idea of course. Saying all lies need to be pointed out. It is clearly why Bob has no friends. We talk about "Nuance", and why many people lack the ability to detect it. Zip defines it perfectly, and this sends Spike into a comedic frenzy. We close with a song dedicated to Tami Asars.

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
"The paradox of [contentment] is that it doesn't matter about our situation of life as meditation gives us freedom in the mind, but [when we cultivate contentment] we want to try to create an environment that is good for our body and mind." —Andy Puddicombe, Headspace Welcome to the premiere of the 9th season of The Simple Sophisticate podcast. In September 2014, the podcast debuted, and continues to premiere a new season each subsequent September. If you are new listener, be sure to explore all of the past episodes located on the podcast page here on the blog, and if you would like, begin with episode #1 which is the most downloaded episode of the entire show. I want to take a quick moment to thank the more than 1,050 listeners from around the world who have written a review for or ranked the show on their preferred podcasting platform. I try to share listeners' reviews on episodes of the show as my way of thanking you for taking the time for sharing what you enjoy about the podcast because it genuinely makes a difference, and new and potential listeners read what you share, taking note to find out what this show is all about. And most importantly, I know you have many things that occupy your attention, and ranking and especially reviewing takes time, so thank you very much for giving of your time. (below is a snapshot of the past couple of weeks of the show, and you will see in the upper right-hand corner the total number of reviews and rankings) The Podcast as moved to Wednesdays! As you no doubt have noticed, today's podcast episode is appearing on a Wednesday and that is not by accident. Moving forward as I began sharing this past summer, the podcast will share new episodes on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month. The reason for moving the show from Monday to Wednesday is to accommodate a work week that honors when I have the most creativity and time to give to writing and producing the show. For the first 6-7 years of the show, I wrote, taped and produced the show over the weekend due to my teaching schedule during the work week; however, now that I am exclusively writing and can design my own schedule, I want to dedicate my Mondays to writing each new episode and Tuesdays to taping and producing so that I can bring a fresh new show to you every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month. With that said, there is still inspiring content to kick off a brand new week on the blog in the form of the weekly Monday Motivational post that will be shared every single week so long as there is a Monday in it (which there always will be!;)). Be sure to check out this week's Monday Motivational post here, Saying No to a Culture of Non-Truths and Finally Finding Inner Calm. Now to today's episode which concludes with two Petit Plaisirs as we celebrate the commencement of a new season. "The paradox of [contentment] is that it doesn't matter about our situation of life as meditation gives us freedom in the mind, but [when we cultivate contentment] we want to try to create an environment that is good for our body and mind." —Andy Puddicombe, Headspace To live a life of contentment is to live a life of inner steadiness, a feeling of being grounded and self-assured (not to be confused with arrogant and all-knowing) no matter what is swirling around you outside of your mind and body. I share on the homepage of the blog and again on the Introductions page of TSLL the definition of True Contentment which is not a term most people are familiar with. Happiness, yes, most people think they know what happiness is, but Contentment, rarely uttered and therefore rarely understood, and therefore, many are less likely to understand the awesome gifts and elevation to the quality of your life it can bring. I took extra time when we were redesigning the blog last year to be very clear about communicating what Contentment is to new and current readers, explaining how Contentment, while different from happiness, is absolutely related. Take a look below at the distinction. For today's episode, exploring the paradox of contentment, I am going to zero in on the first bullet of the list above in the green box: when you invest in cultivating contentment within yourself (which is entirely within your control), you can navigate every day well no matter what the external events may be. But first, let's talk about what a paradox is. The definition of Paradox: a seemingly contradictory statement involving two (or more) ideas that initially are perceived not being possible to exist simultaneously, but upon investigation and further examination, state a truth. The paradox of contentment begins and requires that we begin with becoming a student of mindfulness. Through meditation (of which there are many ways to practice - you don't have to be sitting down, you can practice walking meditations and many other styles, so be sure to find one that suits you), you begin to gain more awareness of your thoughts, and are then, with consistent practice and time (i.e. patience) begin to step away objectively from your thoughts and assess them rationally, noting why they arose, what needs are not being met, etc. because you become a more honest student of yourself. Fundamentally, living a life of contentment doesn't just happen; it is a choice, and a choice we choose over and over again, but because we are consistent in our choice, we gradually begin to see the benefits of doing so and the choice becomes easier and easier and then becomes a healthy, constructive habit that is foundational to living our lives well. A more peaceful and rested mind; a mind for decision-making that has more clarity; a kinder, less defensive engagement with the world and to ourselves; and many more benefits (explore TSLL's Archives in the category of Contentment to discover them all). Let's break that down. Contentment is all about cultivating inner peace and calm regardless of what is going on around and outside of us, of which we have no control. It is when we begin to live a life of contentment that we begin to, as Andy Puddicombe's quote above states, "create an environment that is good for our body and mind." The latter half of this paradox is that our outer world begins to improve, change and reflect the peace and calm we feel inside. Directly, this change in the outer world, is not guaranteed, because we don't have control over anybody else's choices but our own, but how we bring ourselves to the world, how we engage, the decisions we make, what we prioritize, how we think and thus how we communicate, what we say, how we say it, if we even choose to say anything, is the energy that determines what we will experience in ways we cannot predict. And as you will begin to see, that constructive brave and loving energy is given back to you, and you begin to experience the living of your life in a more joyful way. Gradually, through meditation which strengthens the mind, Puddicombe shares, "you begin to create the conditions both internally and externally, for peace of mind." One of the most difficult parts of choosing to live with contentment and accepting the above paradox to be true is that we cannot know when or how all of this will occur. As humans, our Lizard Brain wants to know. And if we cannot know for certain, we don't want to dare waste our energy, but here's the irony in the refusal to invest in contentment. By choosing to live a life of contentment, you actually fuel yourself instead of drain yourself. You won't be wasting energy by learning how to cultivate contentment. You will be giving your life a deep breath, an energizing boost that on great days will take you even higher and on difficult days will sustain you and help you to healthily navigate through. Immediate versus distant results. Or more directly, short versus long term results. Let's take a look at the difference. First of all, I'll be honest, as humans, and especially in our culture of immediacy and shortened attention-spans, we want results immediately. I do as well. Count me on that list. We want to know if something is going to work before we invest. Of course, it will depend on what you are looking to invest in, but when it comes to your peace of mind which is a core component in your mental health and well-being, relationships and how you engage with the world in your place of work, community and home, it is hard to imagine anything more important to invest wisely in. And most substantive, deeply life affecting investments take time to render their benefit. Sometimes the benefits are what never have to experienced because they have been mitigated by making the wise choice, and other times, the benefit of having clarity about what our heart and true self needs takes time because it asks us to be courageous up front, to take a seemingly huge risk up front without any promises, and then stay the course and continue to be a student, continue to apply the skills, continue to practice healthy daily habits, but then all of a sudden, you stop and look around you, and you are expressing gratitude for having cultivated loving relationships, a career that gives you purpose, a life you enjoy living each day and a world that is progressively improving. These awesome things take time, but they also take conscious effort and a brave person to ground themselves first to discover how to live well, and that starts with living a life of contentment. The paradox of contentment demonstrates that the most difficult part of living a life of contentment is at the beginning when you are just starting to dare to trust that cultivating the necessary skills of self-awareness, mindfulness, etc. Why? Because likely the environment you live and/or work in, the relationship (maybe not all) that you are engaged in, don't nurture the values you are trying to strengthen. However, with consistent, intentional effort, because you are living a life of true contentment, you begin to have the strength and trust in making different decisions that build relationships and an environment that does support how you want to live, and because you are surrounding yourself with such an environment, it becomes easier to live the life you had envisioned when you began the journey. Below are a few examples of how our outer world begins to change and as a result of living a life of contentment, further nurturing the values of our choice. how we spend our time - we seek out activities, hobbies and routines that fuels us and excite us rather than drain, deplete or reduce our self-esteem and energy our homes become sanctuaries that we care for thoughtfully, decorate with patience and careful consideration knowledgeable of how our home environment affects us and what we need it to provide when we cross the threshold upon returning home. because we have set boundaries, fewer people in our lives violate them, and if they do, we are less stressed because we know how to clearly set them and walk forward with or without them depending upon whether they honor what we can or cannot do. our hobbies and our job/career become more fulfilling because we are honoring what lights us up, have been courageous in honoring our true selves and taken risks to explore, step toward what piques our curiosity our relationships, the ones we have either kept or chosen to step into, are richer and more loving and uplifting because we have the energy and the courage to be brave and loving with our words and actions, our time and our valuing of our loved ones' needs as well as being clear about our needs and bravely communicating and lovingly listening which eliminates resentment and builds trust that the relationship - romantic or platonic - is mutually consenting and truly loving rather than constraining and limiting. As we all step into a new season, and in many ways a new year, as I shared in Monday's Motivational post, while it takes time to see the benefits we consciously wish to welcome into our lives, it seems that far quicker than we might predict, the beauty of our days and life present themselves and we are experiencing them every day, in everyday moments. Thank you for tuning in to today's episode and the first episode of Season 9 of the podcast. I have two Petit Plaisirs to share with you, and look for a brand new episode (episode #340) on Wednesday September 21st. Don't forget that the 5th seasons of The Simply Luxurious Kitchen cooking show kicks off this coming Saturday, September 10th right here on the blog. Look for a trailer of the new season to be shared later this week on TSLL.
