Takeaways The holidays can be stressful, and it’s important to plan ahead for wellness. Setting intentions rather than big goals can help maintain focus during the holidays. Protein intake is crucial for satiety and managing weight. Eating to 80% fullness can prevent discomfort after meals. Cortisol levels can rise due to holiday stress; managing stress is key. Alcohol consumption should be mindful, as it can cloud judgment and lead to poor food choices. The holidays should focus on nurturing relationships rather than just food and drink. It’s okay to say no to social obligations to prioritize self-care. Post-holiday, it’s important to return to normal routines quickly to avoid weight gain. Mindfulness and intention are essential for a balanced holiday experience. Watch on YouTube Episode Transcript Cheryl McColgan (00:01.038)Hey everyone, I’m Cheryl McColgan, founder of Peel Nourish Row, and it has been a little while since I’ve been on the mic. I took an unexpected longer hiatus than I thought I would, and I’m just now getting around to starting to record again. And I really wanted to get on here and do this episode because the holidays are such a stressful time for everyone. It’s a time where people could use extra support, could use extra ideas about how to de-stress, not gain weight during the holidays, and just find ways to support your wellness in this busy time of the season. So I’ve done another episode like this in the past, and I’ll be sure to link that in the show notes, but for this one I did map out a few bullet points to keep me on track. I’ve got my laptop here with that on it so that I can glance over there occasionally and remind myself of what I wanted to share with you today. But the first thing is this why this, what does holiday mean? wellness even mean or why does it matter? Again, it’s a stressful time. We’re around family for some times that’s very exciting and sometimes it can be very stressful and there’s a lot of travel involved typically and a lot of extra events and cooking and things like that. So it can be just a time where there’s so much going on that you forget to actually take care of yourself. So planning ahead now so that you don’t have to recover from everything at the beginning of the year is a good plan. And usually what I like to say during the holidays, I mean, if you’re a lot of people that listen to this podcast are interested in weight loss or fitness or health and wellness. If you’re trying to lose weight during the holidays, that can be particularly challenging. I think what would be a better goal for most people is to just maintain during the holidays and not gain extra weight that you then have to kind of backtrack from the progress that you’ve made throughout the year. So all that being said, I think the good way to start with this is just to set some intentions around the holidays. So for example, just to be really mindful every time that you eat or, consistent movement or practicing on your sleep during the holidays to make sure that you stay on track with your wellness. So whatever that intention is, just making something specific enough that you know what it is that you’re trying to accomplish, but generally it’s not going to be any big goals during this time of the year. Cheryl McColgan (02:24.606)Just because it’s like I said a lot of extra stress a lot of extra things going on and so Setting really big goals around health and wellness this time of year can just be a way that sets you up for failure Which is not what we want want to go into the new year Thinking positive feeling positive and having every intention that way when we get to the new year We’re kind of set up in this place. been mindful, we’ve been practicing taking care of ourselves and then once we get to the new year we can really focus on those bigger goals that you want for yourself and your wellness in 2026. So after you’ve set the intentions let’s address the first thing is weight. I actually looked this up before I got on here and most people gain anywhere between a pound to five pounds during the time period from Thanksgiving to the end of the year. And while that can be also if your intention is to say enjoy time with family, eat really good foods, just nourish yourself and not to worry too much about weight gain, that is a perfectly acceptable intention as well. But if you want to think about, you know, maintaining your weight or not gaining weight during the holidays, then it’s important to kind of have a plan when you go into this. So the first thing, you know, I’m going to say is what we’re always very focused on here is the importance of protein. Protein is a very satiating nutrient. There’s a lot of theories around about how your body will keep seeking out food if you’re not getting a proper protein intake. So that’s the first thing. So every time you sit down to a meal, plan on getting your protein in first, and then you can have a little bit more flexibility with the rest of your meal because you know that you’ve gotten your protein requirements out of the way. And then you can fill in after that with fats and carbohydrates. If you’re a carbohydrate eater, if you’re still trying to practice keto during the holidays, it is a time. perhaps be just a little more flexible with that only because there’s going to be a lot of temptations there’s going to be a lot of things you want to try so again having that intention around that whether it’s taking a bite here or there or allowing yourself certain days of the week or a party or something like that to enjoy a few more carbs again just being really mindful and setting that intention so that you don’t kind of go off the rails with that stuff because some people one of the reasons they do a lower carb lifestyle is because they don’t have Cheryl McColgan (04:40.728)They don’t either feel good when they eat carbs or they have a relationship with them where when they eat too many carbs, it makes them hungrier and eat more. So if you know that you’re that person, you certainly don’t want to set yourself on this crazy path of that during the holidays by eating a lot of extra cookies or potatoes or candy or whatever it is you’re normally avoiding for the most part. So being really mindful about those choices and allowing them in in the quantities that make sense for you and your personal goals. So the other thing is eating to 80 % fullness. Now this is something that we should be practicing pretty much all of the time if you’re doing an eating program where you’re doing just more of an intuitive eating kind of style. If you want to give yourself time for your brain to get the feeling of whether you’re actually full or not. So eating slowly, eating mindfully, chewing your food and stopping. when you’re already starting to feel full because it takes a little while for your brain to catch up with your body. So if you’re already starting to feel full, chances are 20 minutes later, 30 minutes later, you’re gonna be, you might have that stuffed feeling, which a lot of people have after Thanksgiving meals. So just being really mindful of why you’re adjusting to take note of how you’re feeling if you’re starting to get full and shooting for that 80 % mark in that way. If you go a little over, you’re not going to end up on the couch with your holding your stomach and just being miserable. You’ll probably end up in a much better place. Also, I have two thoughts on this. And again, it’s about knowing the kind of person you are. So there’s this idea of saving your calories for certain big meals and everything. And I think that that can work for some people, especially if you’re tracking your macros and you’re eating a meal that maybe you made or that it’s a simple meal like tracking a certain quantity of turkey, for example. that’s very easy to track. So you can either save some calories for later, so not eating as much throughout the day so that you know when you have a big meal that you’re not going to go over your calorie allotment for the day. But again, it’s about knowing yourself. If in the past you’ve experienced that, for example, on Thanksgiving, you don’t eat most of the day or you just eat a very small breakfast and then you go totally overboard, you feel sick the rest of the night, Cheryl McColgan (06:52.886)You might be better off having two smaller meals earlier in the day, again, very protein forward. And maybe yes, okay, saving a little bit of your calories for that last final bigger meal, but not allowing yourself to get so ravenous that you just go off the rails when the meal comes. So again, knowing yourself here is the key to practicing this and to knowing which one will work best for you. So just give that some consideration before you go into those days where you know it’s going to be a bigger food day. knowing your plan also is a big key here. So don’t wait until the last minute to kind of mentally prepare yourself for what’s going to happen. Have a plan when you go in at this point, you know, you’re listening to this, you’re not a five year old, you’re an adult, you’ve had many holiday meals, you know what your tendencies are. And so just again, set some intentions around how you want it to be different this year and how you’re going to approach things so that you end up with a successful holiday. The next thing is holiday stress and cortisol. Cortisol is such a big trending topic right now. I’m just getting out of balance. And so the top triggers are in this scenario, probably family obligations or family relationships. So again, just setting your intention, kind of knowing how you approach these kinds of things, knowing the kind of stress that you might encounter. And having some strategies ready to better deal with that. So for example, if you know that you get very overwhelmed once all your family’s around and all these things are happening, maybe make it your intention that you’re going to go for a walk after dinner or something like that. Or maybe just take some time for yourself to kind of regroup, calm down, do some deep breathing exercises, whatever it is that you feel is going to nourish you. is you don’t have to spend eight hours in a row with the entire family doing all these activities that can be very, very stressful. again, knowing yourself and taking a little break away from that if you need to practice some breathing exercises, practice some ways to calm yourself and certainly getting into activity throughout the day. It’s a really nice way to accomplish that. I also find that there’s this idea. Cheryl McColgan (09:02.127)of the way that people communicate, you know, often at the holidays, it’s like everybody’s around the table and you’re really face to face and you’re, you’re catching up on things. Sometimes you’re talking about intense topics, but there’s this idea of, you know, conversing face to face, which is very intense and can be one way. And another thing where it’s more like a side by side interaction, like if you’re walking or you’re doing an activity, you’re not looking at each other, you’re still being able to communicate. You’re still being able to have time together, but it’s just not that really intense draining kind of thing. So maybe thinking of some activities that you can do together as a family, or again, taking that little time for yourself away for a little bit can be a way to mitigate some of that stress. And then maintaining your routine. You’re not going to be able to maintain your routine probably perfectly over the holidays, but the more that you can stick to that, the more that you can stick to your routine about going to bed at a certain hour and doing a certain amount of exercise that you normally do, the less that you deviate from that plan, the better you’ll feel throughout the holidays. Again, it’s going to require some flexibility. Things are going to, you know, not always go perfectly, but if you can stay to some kind of schedule and be consistent, that’s really going to help you a lot. Also, you don’t need to add a lot of extra stress to yourself during this time. So if it is more stress to get in your workout for that day, then it is to mindfully skip a day and then do what you need to do, you’re going to actually lessen your cortisol doing that because if you still try to do all the things, workout, do all this, and then you have the extra stress on top of it, that might make you feel even more overwhelmed. So taking those breaks when you need it, being mindful, and not using that as an excuse to skip workouts or to skip taking care of yourself or to go to bed late every night, really try to find much as possible, you know some people hate this word, but trying to find balance around that as much as possible is going to be really a key to having a great holiday season. And then the next thing is around healthy drinks and alcohol holidays. Whether you choose not to drink at all and that is certainly a trend now that I 100 % support because you know I’ve said it before Cheryl McColgan (11:20.503)And I’ll say it again, just for those you who may not have heard this, or you may not always have it in your awareness may not want to happen your awareness, I am sometimes guilty of that myself. But alcohol is a poison. There’s really no amount of it that is safe. And depending on who you are in your health, potential problems, it can be much worse for some people. So that’s definitely something to give some consideration to it increases your risk of cancer, it increases risk of you basically everything negative can be traced back to consuming alcohol. Now, that all being said, many of us still choose to drink knowing the dangers and knowing the risks with that. And there is also an idea. So if you look at French culture or Italian culture, and people often call that out because those cultures drink primarily wine, but it’s not the Reservoir Troll. That’s kind of been debunked for a long time. It’s more about that they use alcohol as a way to be together in community and to be very social and they don’t go overboard with it. So that’s probably at least part of the reason that we find in those populations that it doesn’t seem to be as detrimental to health. But again, all that being said, just make good choices around it. Be mindful of quantity, be mindful of very sugary drinks. just, it racks up the calories. So always choosing those beverages that might be on the slightly healthier side for the lack of a better word for alcohol, but that would be things that are clear that don’t have a lot of additives, drinking organic wines whenever possible, taking a break in between to have a glass of water before you have the next one and really thinking about whether you even need the next one. There’s a great app for this that I’ve called out on the podcast before called Sunny Side and it just helps you track drinks. And if you do it in the moment as you’re doing it, it might really make you consider Hey, do I need to go to this next one? Is that going to totally derail me? Because the other thing that happens when people drink alcohol is they tend to make less good decisions around food, right? They may say, well, forget it. just, you know, I’m going to have everything now because it clouds your judgment. And it also can, I think, make you hungrier when you’re having alcohol. So that’s just something to be thinking about too. And then so that’s the drinks part, the food part. Cheryl McColgan (13:41.444)What is your strategy around going to parties? Again, knowing yourself here is key. So if you go to a party, super hungry, or you’re just going to eat whatever’s available and it might not be the healthiest choices. Or do you choose to have a high protein, small meal before you go to a party so that you’re not as ravenous when you get there. And that makes it so much easier to only choose the things that are really appeal to you that feel worth it calorie wise that are a great taste. Because it really, the holidays should be more about being in community with people and nurturing your relationships. And we make it so much about food and drink. And that is an amazing and fun part. mean, you know, this is coming from our recipe developers, when who loves to eat, who loves to cook. It’s kind of the way that I show my love and appreciation for people is to feed them and to cook for them. So I am again, I’m certainly not there’s no judgment around this. It is just trying to be mindful of decisions that you’re making when you’re in these social situations. And when you’re parties in particular because the types of foods that tend to be there are not the most nourishing. So one thing you could try if this is you and you know you struggle with this is having a two-bite rule or something like that. So if there is a dish that you really want to try or something extra that’s there that is really looks appealing to you, just having two bites and then moving away from that for a while. And again, so this is where eating a small meal before you go really helps because you’re not ravenous and then you just have a couple bites here and there. You’re focused on socializing and being with the people that you’re enjoying. And I think that can be a really great way to approach parties. Another scenario is when you again have these family gatherings, quite often you might be asked to bring a dish. So this is the perfect opportunity to bring something that you love, bring something that you know is healthy and nourishing for you or that works for your particular diet or works for your particular goals. And most people, you know, enjoy trying new things too. So it can be, know, whatever it is, whatever dish it is that appeals to you. That way, you’ll know you’ll have something there that you like and that will be healthy for you. And then you get to share it with your friends as well. So that’s another way to approach the eating strategy. Then we have travel. Cheryl McColgan (15:59.843)wellness. So travel can be tricky because while there are much better options nowadays, airports tend to be very expensive. If you’re driving on the road, I almost feel like that’s actually better because almost every gas station now will have some healthier options, whether it’s meat sticks, jerky. Quite often in the gas station, I can find boiled eggs. In the refrigerated section, there’s always pickles and things like that. But another thing to do is just to pack small meal with you when you’re traveling. you’re on the road or in a plane, you can make it work. I learned a lot about this this spring when I end up doing those bodybuilding competitions because you have to be so specific with your food during those times that I traveled multiple times with my own food that I prepared and made. So that is another way to handle that. And then also just making sure that you take breaks when you’re traveling as much as possible. So whether you’re in the car or on the road, take some time to stop. get out of the car, move a little bit, just stop at a rest area if you’re driving or if you’re on the plane, making sure that you get up every hour or so, which can be, I know frustrating for seat mates and things like that, but you really just want to make sure, you know, there’s health reasons behind that too, because there’s that risk of clots when you’re on a plane. So just taking that little bit of time to get up, walk back to the back, even if you don’t have to go to the bathroom or something, just getting out of your seat for a little bit when you’re traveling on the plane can really go long way into just making your body feel a little better when you finally are back on the ground again. And then there’s this idea too, during the holidays that we have to do it all. And I know I’m very guilty of this, but I will say the older I’ve gotten, the better I’ve gotten at managing this a little bit better. And that is, you you know the energy reserves that you have, you know the amount of energy it requires to be with certain people, you know the amount of energy it takes to be out of your house, go to an event. be at a party, stay out late, all of those things. You don’t have to say yes to everything. I know this is really difficult for people, but I like to think of it like this. When I say no to certain things, I really am saying yes to certain other things. So for example, if I say no to a specific party, I’m saying yes to recharging myself to having that extra time to do a workout or cook for my family. Cheryl McColgan (18:22.538)or whatever it is, just it’s not a don’t think of it as no, think of it as a yes to something else. So that really helps me when I’m trying to manage those decisions. The other thing to note about that is you want to balance that idea with the holidays are a special time and it’s pretty limited. And it often involves people that might not be in town all the time, you only get to see once or twice a year. And so just be mindful of that as well. You might have to expend a little bit of extra energy in one specific weekend or evening in order to accomplish, you know, seeing the people that you need to see and that you want to see while they’re in town and balancing that with again, your personal energy reserves and taking care of yourself. So the big word here, I guess that you’re noticing is balance, but it just requires being really mindful and having a plan. So, you making the choice, whether it’s making the choice to drink alcohol or not drink alcohol or go to a specific party, you’re not going to specific party, whatever it is, you definitely want to have peace around it and you want it to be intentional. So there’s that word again. But just, you know, not just going with the flow so much and letting everything run over you during the holidays, I think is really what it boils down to. You want to every day just take a few minutes to… of breathe and be like, okay, what’s going on today? What’s happening? Do I have this party? then you’re managing the rest of your schedule around that. So you can try to find as much balance as possible. And then after a big event, the next day can be quite tiring, right? So if you still happen to weigh yourself the next day, and you know, I’ve talked about this before, I personally have weighed myself every day for years and years and years. I have a fine relationship with a scale. I’m able to look at it as just data. it is not a big deal for me. And I do think that over time that this has allowed me to maintain my weight because whenever you see it creeping up, you’re not suddenly surprised by that. You can see a trend over time and you give you more time to do something about it. Whereas the shorts amounts of times in my adult life, mainly when I was dating and, somebody’s house in the mornings and stuff when I didn’t have the opportunity to weigh, it starts to creep up on you. Cheryl McColgan (20:34.574)So for me personally, after an event, I would still weigh because it doesn’t bother me. If you’re the type of person where the scale really negatively affects your mood, you may not want to weigh yourself the day after event because what happens at events, you tend to get a lot more sodium than usual. You might not drink as much water. You might eat more carbs. There’s a number of reasons why you might wake up the next morning and see the scale be up three to five pounds. Just know that that is not real weight. That is just water weight from the day before. And what you don’t want to do though is go through the whole entire holidays, not checking on that because that is when you are likely to possibly gain some weight. And since I mentioned the scale, will say this I’ve been using is for over a year now, the Hume BodyPod. It’s on some amazing sales right now with Black Friday and going into Christmas and going into the new year. They usually have a sale as well. And I have a whole episode on it. know, the at home body composition scales are not perfect. Nobody will argue that they are. But this one is very comparable to a Dexascan, which is pretty much the gold standard for weight. And it keeps track of your body composition as well. So if you are working on gaining muscle or losing fat, things like that, the scale gives you a lot more data around that. If you’re interested in it, I love it. I’ve had it, like I said, I’ve been using it for over a year now. I have a great discount code that stacks on top of whatever sale. is going on. So look for that in the show notes, but the link, if you just want to go to the link that will work and automatically apply the discount. is heelnourishgrow.com slash Hume, H-U-M-E. And you can check out that scale. if you want to, and again, like I said, it’s not perfect. had a whole episode on that to kind of tell you the things about it to be an awareness. If you start using it, you have to be super consistent with when and how you use it. And that will help you get the best data from it. But just keep in mind, it’s not perfect. people have expectations around it that it’s going to be kind of this magical tool. But I have found it to really be an awesome, amazing asset in my wellness box. And again, when I go out for that kind of holiday thing, I will still weigh I will be aware though that it’s not going to be probably a number that I’m liking that I get on there. But then usually by the next day or two days later, drink a lot of water, go back to your normal thing, and your weight should be also back to normal as well. So Cheryl McColgan (22:56.44)Again, if you know they’re the kind of person that will freak you out, just wait a day or two before you get back on the scale. But I wouldn’t go the entire holiday season not weighing yourself. you only weighing yourself once a week has that same problem associated with it because of those fluctuations in your daily water weight. If you just have one data point for the week, it’s less likely to know if that is real or not. So that is one another reason to keep weighing consistently throughout the holiday season because least three to four times a week is much better than only one. And then after the event, so the next day we just talked about the next day a little bit, I would rehydrate, have some electrolytes, make sure you have a protein heavy breakfast, and again just go back to normal after that. I think that’s where people really get off the rails during the holidays because they think of it, I had one bad meal, I’m putting air quotes around that if you’re not watching the video, but they have one bad meal. And it kind of sends them in this spiral where they think, well, I already messed up. Might as well just wait and start again at the new year. No, you can have one awesome holiday meal one night out with friends, enjoying a party, something like that. And then the next day, you just simply go back to normal. Do everything the way that you always do. And you have a lot less likelihood of putting on a whole bunch of weight during the holidays. So I think that covered all of the points that I had in the document that I already had mapped. out. Again, I had another episode like this where maybe I mentioned some other tools. I’m going to guess they’re pretty similar though. But it’s always good to revisit this year after year because you start to think of things in different ways. You start to have new tools at your disposal, new things that you learn personally that really work for you, new things that you’ve learned about yourself. So I always think it’s important to revisit these things each year and, you know, go into the holidays being very mindful and intentional so that we don’t get off the rails. So Going forward I It was like I said, it’s just been procrastination central over here for me to get back on the mic and start recording the podcast again But now that we’ve broken the seal, hopefully it’s going to continue on the once-a-week basis that always has in the past I’m going to be doing something a little different at least for this Time period between now and the new year in that I will probably most likely be doing mostly solo Cheryl McColgan (25:22.672)episodes just because there’s a few topics that I’ve wanted to cover. I need to do a follow up on the whole bodybuilding situation that had competitions that happened this spring and summer and share with you some insights and some things and some new tools that I learned out of that as well as just a few topics that I think deserve some coverage and it would be easier for me to just put it out there myself. As far as I did record one interview last week with somebody that I is more kind of a more unquote, I’m going to say again with the air quotes, but I’m going say kind of a normal person that is not a particular expert in a certain way, although that’s not really true because she’s like an Olympian and she has a new company that she’s working with women on. outdoor skills and should be really, I think, entertaining for you guys. She’s also competed in bodybuilding and learned some lessons out of that that she shared with me in the interview. So I definitely have that one coming up here soon. And then in the meantime, if there are topics that you’d like me to cover or guests that you’d like to see the interviewed on the podcast, as always, please get in touch and let me know if you could leave a comment below. Let me know what you found most useful about this particular episode and what strategies you will be using during the holidays. If I missed anything, I’d love it if you’d share in the comments anything that I missed or thoughts that you have on dealing with the holidays because I’m sure everyone else that sees it and reads it, you know, we all need all the help we can get during the stressful season. So I would love it if you could share that in the comments. But so that’s it for now. I will see you again next time. And hopefully, like I said, we will be back on much more regular schedule going forward. So have a wonderful rest of your day and I will talk to you soon.

INHALT: Heute haben wir ein ganz besonders interessantes Radio-Feature für Sie zusammengestellt. Haben Sie sich schon einmal gefragt, warum unsere Sonne in einem 11-jährigen Zyklus in Ihrer Aktivität schwankt? Einer möglichen Antwort ist ein Forscher des Fachgebiets Geo- und Astrophysik am Helmholtz-Forschungszentrum in Dresden auf der Spur. Wir sind gespannt auf seine Erkenntnisse. VERSCHLAGWORTUNG: Magneto-Hydrodynamik der Sonne Sonnenfleckenzyklen GEMA INFO / FOLGENDE MUSIKTITEL WERDEN IN DIESER SENDUNG GESPIELT Maggie Reilly – Follow the Midnight Sun Middle of the Road – Soley Soley Ella Fitzgerald - On the Sunny Side of the Street The Beatles - I´ll follow the sun Patreon - House of the Rising Sun Gruß und vy 73, Rainer Englert (DF2NU)

Внезапно взлетел на первое место радиоТопа JazzWeek, двадцатку которого я регулярно публикую, альбом под названием Love Letters - Любовные письма саксофониста JD Allen. Дело в том, что состав его трио и приглашенного пианиста не очень известный, поэтому такой взлет в чате, более чем 60 радиостанций США, очень радует. Вторую неделю подряд он на первой позиции, и мне альбом понравился с первых аккордов, которые мы только что слышали. Тенор звучит мягко, с хорошими низкими нотами и вызывает приятные чувства, а медленные аранжировки джазовых (и не только) стандартов, расслабляют и успокаивают. Что относит его к стилю, который я называю #lounge Немного истории - Джей Ди Аллен родился в Детройте, штат Мичиган, 11 декабря 1972 года. Он входит в третью волну мейнстримовых джазовых исполнителей Young Lion - Молодые Львы. В молодости он находился под влиянием великих музыкантов Детройта, но по прибытии в Нью-Йорк началась его реальная практика. Он работал с такими известными музыкантами, как George Cables, Betty Carter, Ron Carter, Jack DeJohnette, Frank Foster's Loud Minority Big Band, Butch Morris, David Murray и Wallace Roney. Среди его современных коллег: Winard Harper, Orrin Evans, Gerald Cleaver, Eric Revis, Marcus Gilmore, Russell Gunn, Meshell Ndegéocello, Dave Douglas, Duane Eubanks, Jeremy Pelt, Fabio Morgera, Elisabeth Kontomanou, Lucian Ban и The Red Records All-Stars.Дебютный альбом In Search Of… Аллена на лейбле Criss Cross, принёс ему награду «Лучший новый артист» в Италии в 1999 году и получил признание критиков за оригинальные композиции и смелую игру. В том же году он начал гастролировать и записываться с ансамблем барабанщицы Синди Блэкман. Его второй альбом Pharoah's Children в 2002 году вошёл в десятку лучших альбомов года по версии журнала Jazziz.Впоследствии Аллен подписал контракт с лейблом Sunnyside, где выпустил три альбома, получивших признание критиков: I Am I Am • 2008, Shine! • 2009 и Victory! • 2011. Его дебют на Savant Records, альбом The Matador and the Bull • 2012 и последовавший за ним Grace, год спустя, принесли ему две подряд награды Downbeat Critics в номинациях Тенор-саксофонист и Композитор. Так же мне понравился пианист, который очень хорошо дополнил уже сыгранное трио. Brandon McCune написал единственный оригинал на этом альбоме и поэтому он попадает в мой плейлист, как лучшая композиция. Его понимание целей этого альбома с великолепными соло по праву заслуживают уважения и перспективу на дальнейшее сотрудничество. Хороший пример этому, вступление первой композиции альбома, которую мы только что слышали. А если вы послушаете дальше, то заметите хороший баланс всех инструментов и невероятную концовку, той же композиции. И эта магия присутствует на всем альбоме - здесь слышно желание всех музыкантов сделать шедевр. Поэтому добавляйте себе в коллекцию этот альбом и запоминайте эти имена.СЛУШАТЬ АЛЬБОМ - https://album.link/i/1831854203Лучший трек альбома в плей-листе JAZZ по-русски 9 на AppleMusic и SpotifyПоставь лайк ❤️ и подпишись на канал JAZZ по-русски https://t.me/discor

Ryan “420 Chief” Johnson is a 20-year retired U.S. Navy Chief who found new purpose through healing and advocacy. After leaving the service, he quit drinking and got off all prescription medications with the help of cannabis. That journey inspired him to write Strains for Pains, a book designed to educate others on the healing benefits of cannabis and help people document their own wellness paths. He later launched the 420 Chief Podcast, where he shares powerful veteran stories of recovery and transformation through plant medicine. His mission grew into Break Stigmas, a nonprofit that bridges the gap between veterans and civilians through meetups, education, and awareness of the veteran suicide crisis.Ryan is also the founder of Sunnyside of Chief, a veteran-owned CBD brand focused on improving quality of life through natural healing. Whether through his podcast, his nonprofit, or his live “music therapy” sessions on TikTok, Ryan continues to lead with purpose — showing others that we are #NeverAlone, always #BetterTogether, and committed to #End22aDay.

John C. Reilly joins to discuss Mr. Romantic, his theatrical tribute to the Great American Songbook that treats Irving Berlin and Tom Waits as equals in the canon of timeless American song. Reilly recorded live in one room with his band using vintage ribbon microphones, embracing the squeaks and imperfections while layering in cinematic sound effects—crickets outside a lover's window, a collect call from prison—to transform each standard into an immersive scene. But what makes a song from the 1920s feel eternal? Music data scientist Chris Della Riva, author of the forthcoming Uncharted Territory and the newsletter Can't Get Much Higher, breaks down how composers like the Gershwins wrote for amateur musicians playing sheet music at home, creating universal lyrics and AABA structures where the hook comes first. That accessibility is precisely what draws Reilly to this repertoire. He sees himself in the lineage of interpreters like Sinatra, not selling his own story but passing along music that already belongs to all of us, like holding up a seashell and saying, "Isn't this one beautiful?"

This week, Molly welcomes back Ian Andersen, co-founder of Sunnyside, for a timely and thought-provoking conversation on the evolving landscape of alcohol health and behavior change. Ian shares the backstory of Sunnyside's growth from its origins during the pandemic to the recent launch of Sunnyside Med, a new initiative designed to support individuals seeking more structure and support in reducing their alcohol consumption.If you're feeling challenged during “More Sober October,” or you've ever felt like you're behind the curve while the media insists everyone is drinking less, this episode offers reassurance, insight, and practical next steps.What You'll Learn:Why Sunnyside was founded and how its inclusive, non-prescriptive model fills a critical gap in alcohol supportWhat Sunnyside Med is and who it's designed to helpThe disconnect between public alcohol trends and personal strugglesHow the cultural narrative around moderation is evolvingWhy sustainable change requires systems, not shameThe psychological barriers that often prevent progress and how to overcome themQuotable Moments“We don't want to be the food scale or calorie counter of alcohol. We want to be a guide, not a judge.” – Ian Andersen“Just because the news says people are drinking less, doesn't mean you feel less stuck.” – Molly WattsResources and LinksLearn more about Sunnyside: www.sunnyside.coGet details on Sunnyside Med: https://www.joinsunnysidemed.com/Visit Molly's site for courses and coaching: www.mollywatts.comLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more.

Shane Sager joins me on episode 144.Shane is from Boston. In his early teens, a hand injury forced him to give up drumming, so he turned to the harmonica and never looked back. At Berklee College of Music he studied drums, as harmonica wasn't offered, but left after two years to focus fully on the harmonica, studying with top teachers — especially Mike Turk, who helped him shape his chromatic playing.In his early twenties Shane performed with Sting, later joining his touring band in 2019 and going on to travel the world with him for six years.He now continues to perform and record with various acts and has a couple of albums of his own coming out soon. An avid writer, he publishes on Substack and released his first harmonica book, Beyond Breath, in 2025, with two more in the pipeline.Links:Shane's Substack: https://shanesager.substack.com/ Shane's book 'Beyond Breath': https://tinyurl.com/5heaf9twNorth Carolina Harp Fest: https://www.ncharmonica.com/Videos:Shane's YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0_bbSLOzrEFkvFCWiPvWahu0O_PQpoOx&si=XPeZ_DtDCvHdjf1nShape of My Heart with Sting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jPFdg4CNss&list=PL0_bbSLOzrEFkvFCWiPvWahu0O_PQpoOxPlaying with Sting at Carnegie Hall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AW8uIFxeAk&list=PL0_bbSLOzrEFkvFCWiPvWahu0O_PQpoOxPlaying with Sting at Time's Square: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se1HT8F2c2kSting and Stevie Wonder playing ‘Fragile': https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPjj8edvjgMShane playing at SPAH 2025: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ldhIDlz5TeABill Barrett playing Sunny Side of the Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_EW85IYO3wLiam Ward interview with Shane: https://www.learntheharmonica.com/post/sting-harmonica-player-shane-sager-interviewPodcast website:https://www.harmonicahappyhour.comDonations:If you want to make a voluntary donation to help support the running costs of the podcast then please use this link (or visit the podcast website link above):https://paypal.me/harmonicahappyhour?locale.x=en_GBSpotify Playlist: Also check out the Spotify Playlist, which contains most of the songs discussed in the podcast:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5QC6RF2VTfs4iPuasJBqwT?si=M-j3IkiISeefhR7ybm9qIQPodcast sponsors:This podcast is sponsored by SEYDEL harmonicas - visit the oldest harmonica factory in the world at www.seydel1847.com  or on Facebook or Instagram at SEYDEL HARMONICAS--------------------------------Blue Moon Harmonicas: https://bluemoonharmonicas.comSupport the show

CTL Script/ Top Stories of October 10th Publish Date: October 10th   Pre-Roll: From the Ingles Studio Welcome to the Award-Winning Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast  Today is Friday, October 10th and Happy Birthday to Van Halen I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are the stories Cherokee is talking about, presented by Times Journal Work to start this month on Canton Creek pedestrian bridge Cherokee County leaders OK $5M contract for CATS building Cherokee County adopts $438 million budget for 2026 Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on budgeting We’ll have all this and more coming up on the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger Podcast, and if you’re looking for Community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  Commercial: Ingles Markets 7 STORY 1: Work to start this month on Canton Creek pedestrian bridge Big changes are coming to the Sunnyside community this month, starting with a new pedestrian bridge over Canton Creek. The city says the project will make the area safer for its many walkers and cyclists—something that’s been a long time coming. Thanks to a $2.2 million grant from the Governor’s Office of Planning and Budget, funded by the American Rescue Plan, Canton can finally kick off improvements in this busy corridor along Hickory Flat Highway and Marietta Road. The new bridge? A 160-foot weathering steel beauty, built just for pedestrians. No cars, no chaos—just a safe, scenic crossing. Meanwhile, the old bridge will stay open for vehicles until a replacement is built. Construction starts soon, and the city’s already acquired nearby properties to make way for the upgrades. Sunnyside’s future? Looking bright. STORY 2: Cherokee County leaders OK $5M contract for CATS building Cherokee County is moving forward with a long-awaited upgrade for its transit system. On Oct. 7, commissioners approved a $5.1 million contract with Place Services, Inc. to build the new Cherokee Area Transit Service (CATS) headquarters at Univeter and Pinecrest roads. The new facility? It’s a big deal—offices, dispatch, a driver training room, parking for 50 buses, and even a propane fueling station. The current space is bursting at the seams, so this project is designed to handle CATS’ needs for the next 20 years. Construction starts soon and should wrap up in about a year. Most of the funding—80%—comes from a Federal Transit Administration grant, with the rest covered by local SPLOST funds. This is phase two of the project. Phase one, which included site prep and stormwater work, wrapped up in September. STORY 3: Cherokee County adopts $438 million budget for 2026 Cherokee County just locked in its 2026 budget—$438.6 million. Sounds massive, right? But according to Chairman Harry Johnston, it’s as lean as it gets. Here is Cherokee County Commission Chair Harry Johnston on the budget. CHAIRMAN HARRY JOHNSTON CLIP. The only big addition? A $1.4 million incentive program for sheriff’s deputies to reward education and certifications—an effort to keep them long-term. Public safety eats up over half the general fund, with $73.6 million going to the sheriff’s office alone. Other highlights? $59.3 million for fire services, $9.8 million for parks, and $2.9 million for senior services. SPLOST funds will cover big projects like courthouse expansion, road improvements, and even an airport runway extension. And here’s the kicker: no tax hikes. For the full 511-page breakdown, check out cherokeecountyga.gov. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info.    We’ll be right back. Break: INGLES 7 STORY 4: Canton council to vote on contract to build new park  Canton’s South Canton Park is one step closer to reality, with city leaders set to vote on a construction contract Oct. 16. The bids are in—eight of them, ranging from $7.6 million to over $12 million—and, as Mayor Bill Grant put it, “It’s state of the art... and not cheap.” The park, planned for 2939 Marietta Highway (near Dairy Queen), will be packed with features: two playgrounds (one for little ones, one for bigger kids), dog parks with splash pads, a boardwalk, walking trails, a small amphitheater, and even a “listen and chill lawn.” Food trucks? Yep, there’s space for those too. The city snagged a $2.2 million state grant to help fund the project, with the rest coming from SPLOST and impact fees. Residents weighed in on the design last spring, and while the original concept included a zipline, that’s been scrapped. Once the contract’s signed, the city will finalize the timeline. Stay tuned—this park’s going to be a game-changer. STORY 5: Cherokee County Football Power Rankings - Week 9  The Cherokee County football power rankings are heating up as we head into Week 9. Here’s where things stand: River Ridge (6-1, 3-1)The Knights came off their bye week swinging, shutting out Riverwood 35-0. Camden Cox? A beast—102 rushing yards and a TD on just 11 carries. Add in turnovers from Sam Vincent (INT) and Harris Deriso (forced fumble), and this team looks sharp. They host Sprayberry this week in what could be a region-deciding showdown. Sequoyah (6-1, 3-1)No Rajecki? No problem. The Chiefs crushed Lassiter 32-0, with QB Kolby Martin throwing for 259 yards and 3 TDs. Brooks Darling and Jack Ripley stepped up big. They face Woodstock next, a team they’ve beaten four straight times. Woodstock (5-2, 3-1)The Wolverines barely escaped Pope, winning 20-14 behind QB Graham Burmeister, who’s been lights out all season (1,420 yards, 15 TDs). They’ll need him at his best against Sequoyah this week. Creekview (3-4, 3-1)Don’t sleep on the Grizzlies. They nearly upset Sprayberry in OT last week and have clawed their way back after an 0-3 start. With Pope up next, they’re poised to stay in the playoff hunt. Etowah (3-4, 1-2)The Eagles fell to North Paulding but showed flashes, especially QB Zeke Douglass (91 rushing yards) and WR Walker Hughes (118 receiving yards). They’ll look to rebound against Wheeler. Cherokee (1-6, 0-3)It’s been a tough season for the Warriors, but Brandon Hamilton continues to shine, rushing past 1,000 yards on the year. With Walton and North Cobb looming, the road ahead doesn’t get any easier.

Getting unexpectedly let go at work. Struggling through a painful divorce. Losing a loved one. Reluctantly riding a roller coaster of bad luck. These are some of the most common setbacks that life sometimes dishes out… whether we want them or not.  But, while it doesn't always feel like it in the moment, these setbacks can have a brighter side.  Setbacks can build resilience, strengthen our character, and become springboards for changes that redirect our lives. Often in profound ways.   Today, Ginni welcomes Amy Shoenthal. Not only is Amy a part of Ginni's vibrant neighborhood community in New York (#sunnysideup), but she's also an established author and a marketing pro. Her latest book, The Setback Cycle, shares real-life stories of people, including herself, who turned challenging obstacles into life-changing opportunities.  You'll learn why setbacks are such a common experience shared by people from all walks of life, and how we tend to view them when we're in the thick of it. You'll hear stories of big setbacks and the bravery they birthed that led to profoundly positive life changes. You'll also score a few hot tips for your next trip to Ginni and Amy's New York neighborhood.

Today I'm back with Sunnyside podcast host Mike Hardenbrook for a conversation that pops the hood on why willpower isn't enough to change your drinking habits. We talk about what's really happening in your brain and nervous system when you reach for a drink, why your desire to drink has nothing to do with alcohol. Your body craves relief from stress and anxiety and the pressure of everyday life.  You'll walk away with the exact, science-backed shifts I teach my clients that make drinking in moderation a natural side effect of feeling more grounded and at ease. If you've ever wondered why wanting to change doesn't stop you from pouring another drink, this episode will show you how to break the cycle from the inside out. Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober. Side effects include an 80 percent reduction in drinking.

Today, I'm sharing a conversation that first aired on the Sunnyside podcast—home of the #1 mindful drinking app. I sat down with co-founder and host Mike Hardenbrook to talk about how to change your thinking about drinking so that you can trust yourself with alcohol again. We cover my own personal journey about why I overcorrected my heavy daily drinking with three years of full sobriety, and how I arrived in the balanced, less-is-more life I live now. You'll hear the exact mental shifts that I teach my high-achieving female clients who want to cut their drinking by up to 80% without shame, rules or life long commitments. Whether you're sober-curious or simply tired of promising yourself that you're going to change and then not following through, this conversation will change how you think about both the problem and the solution.  Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober. Side effects include an 80 percent reduction in drinking. Want daily updates from me?

Together, they explore how Missouri is building a smarter health care system that uses AI not just to automate care, but to elevate it.Drawing on Josh's experience in clinical care and informatics, the conversation reveals how states and standards bodies can work together to ensure innovation serves people—not just systems.Listen to this episode to discover:AI with a Human Touch: Josh shares how Missouri is designing AI systems that center citizen experience, protect privacy and preserve empathy in care delivery.Cross-Agency Collaboration as a Catalyst: Learn how Missouri's unified health data strategy breaks silos and builds trust across public health, social services and mental health care systems. Workforce Readiness in the Age of AI: Explore how upskilling and retention strategies are helping Missouri address staffing shortfalls and prepare its workforce for a future of data-driven care.The Sunny Side of AI: Hear why optimism, not fear, is driving Missouri's approach to innovation, and how thoughtful, ethical design can unlock better outcomes at scale.This episode is essential listening for health IT leaders, policymakers and quality professionals who want to understand how proactive states are turning AI into a force for good, through a commitment to protecting the human element in health care.Key Quote:“ What I really like to challenge the listener to think about is, what's the sunny side of this story? What's the optimistic and positive ways we can use these solutions? What's the positive version of the future around quality and safety? Because these tools are enabling that.  Never have we had the ability to extrapolate against data like we do now. Never have we had the chance to do deep, meaningful research against large data sets. Never have we had a chance to spread and educate populations and accelerate innovation and learning like we do now. With the right focus and the right priorities, we can narrow that to areas that will drive meaningful change and better the lives of everyone we engage with.” -Josh Wymer, DNPTime Stamps:(02:06) Missouri's Health Data Consortium(04:58) AI's Growing Role in Health Care(10:06) Workforce Readiness for AI(12:22) NCQA's AI Initiatives(18:19) Preserving the Human Element in Health CareDive Deeper:“The ‘Show Me State' Shows How AI Can SucceedJosh Wymer at the Health Innovation SummitConnect with Josh Wymer

SUNNY SONGS: LOW YO YO STUFF by Captain Beefheart (WB, 1972)We do what we gotta do to survive. We've got to activate our low yo yo stuff. Don Van Vliet, aka Captain Beefheart knew that better than most. Frank Zappa's high school buddy and inspiration blew in from the desert fully formed as a cubist blues man. He reordered our mitochondria by breaking the order of music apart, and lyrically accessing a deeper realm of abstraction. But, this was always done with tongue in cheek, slightly, or at least with a wink. And, later, when the public outcry died down, he went back to the desert to paint and write poetry. I'm turning off the noise, he seemed to say, but never abandoning the low yo yo stuff. That's the essential ingredient for the spice of life.Low Yo Yo Stuff is the opening track from the Clear Spot album - certainly his most accessible record, produced by Warner Brother's maestro Ted Templeton. And, it was almost commercial! Someone said this is the album to initiate you to Don's weirdness by inviting you to put your musical toe in the pool, before diving into the deep end of Trout Mask Replica. That's how it worked for me, and I'm grateful for having had the experience.

This week, our hosts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dave Bittner⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Joe Carrigan⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Maria Varmazis⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ (also host of the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠T-Minus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Space Daily show) are sharing the latest in social engineering scams, phishing schemes, and criminal exploits that are making headlines. We start with some follow up, this time involving a surprising new flock of chickens and a listener note from Belgium. Via Peter Janssen, as he's seen the same fake “employee discount” scams we covered, only this time targeting backpacks and other products. Dave's story is on a new “podcast imposter” scam, where fake invites trick business owners and influencers into giving remote access so attackers can hijack their accounts. Joe's got a story on Workday disclosing a breach after attackers used social engineering to infiltrate a third-party CRM system, and why this matters given Workday's wide use as the front end for so many companies' HR departments. Maria brings two quick hits this week: a fake FedEx text scam making the rounds, and a look at whether covering kids' faces with emojis in photos really protects their privacy — or if it's more illusion than protection. On today's catch of the day, Dave got a text claiming he's been recommended for a high-paying, no-experience-needed YouTube job—classic signs of a scam promising easy money and “free training.” Complete our annual ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠audience survey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ before August 31.

Across Canada, 71 per cent of the country is abnormally dry or experiencing moderate to severe drought, according to the Canadian Drought Monitor. That includes places like Sunnyside, Newfoundland and Labrador, where the taps ran dry earlier this month. And in Nova Scotia, Farmer Amy Hill in Nova Scotia shares how the dry conditions are straining her farm. John Pomeroy, Director of the Global Water Futures program at the University of Saskatchewan, explains what's driving these conditions and what Canada must do to prepare for a hotter, drier future.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, I'm joined by Mike Hardenbrook—author of No Willpower Required and host of the Journey to the Sunny Side podcast—for a conversation that's been a long time coming.Mike's story will resonate with anyone who's ever struggled with drinking more than they want to but never felt “out of control” enough to warrant a label. His approach to habit change is science-forward, rooted in neuroscience and behavioral psychology, and deeply aligned with our core belief at Alcohol Minimalist: you are not powerless.Together, we discuss:How Mike's drinking slowly crept into a habitual nightly loop—despite a successful life and healthy routines.Why the traditional “powerless” model of alcohol change never resonated with him—and why he decided to write a book for people like him.What it means to truly “rewire” your drinking habit and how Mike used curiosity, experimentation, and mindset shifts to get there.Our shared belief in empowering people through understanding their brains—and how that changes everything.The role of alcohol as a “light switch” for the brain, and why the reward loop gets so entrenched for daily drinkers.This is a real, down-to-earth conversation between two people who have both experienced the challenges of breaking a long-term drinking habit and emerged with a science-backed, compassionate way forward.If you've been trying to drink less but feel stuck, this episode is for you. And if the idea of change without willpower sounds too good to be true, give this a listen—you may find a new path forward.About Mike Hardenbrook: Mike is the author of No Willpower Required: A Neuroscience Approach to Change Your Habits with Alcohol and the host of the Journey to the Sunny Side podcast. He also works with the alcohol habit-change app Sunnyside, where he helps others build sustainable, science-based strategies to drink less.Resources & Links:Learn more about Mike and his book: www.hardenbrook.comCheck out the Sunnyside app: www.sunnyside.co/mollyGrab your copy of Breaking the Bottle Legacy: https://www.mollywatts.com/resourcesJoin the Alcohol Minimalist Facebook group!If you enjoyed this episode: Please take a moment to subscribe, rate, and review.

Episode Summary: In this honest and reflective episode, Molly shares her personal journey with More Dry July and what it really means when your outcome doesn't match your original goal. She walks through her mindset shift from chasing perfection to reinforcing identity, and how 21 alcohol-free days—rather than the planned 24—still powerfully reflect the systems she's built as an Alcohol Minimalist.Drawing from James Clear's Atomic Habits and Elizabeth Benton's Chasing Cupcakes, Molly explores how honest tracking, identity-based change, and keystone habits can keep you aligned even when things don't go perfectly. She also shares a powerful metaphor that reframes each alcohol-free day as a building block in the foundation of a peaceful relationship with alcohol.Whether your July was a success by the numbers or felt a little off-track, this episode will remind you that your next decision matters far more than your last one—and that progress is always possible when you stay connected to who you are becoming.In this episode, you'll learn:Why prioritizing alcohol-free days matters more than perfectionHow “alcohol-free-ish” thinking can undermine honest accountabilityThe difference between tracking outcomes vs. living your identityWhat it means to own your behavior without excuses or shameWhy each AF day is like stacking a brick in your foundationResources and Links:Atomic Habits by James Clear: https://jamesclear.com/atomic-habitsChasing Cupcakes by Elizabeth Benton: https://amzn.to/3KXh2xQStart your Sunnyside trial: https://www.sunnyside.co/mollyWork with Molly or learn more: https://www.mollywatts.comQuote of the Week: "You do not rise to the level of your goals.

Katie Sturino is the founder of Megababe, the innovative beauty brand known for nontoxic, cult-favorite products like Thigh Rescue and Bust Dust. She's also a body-acceptance advocate with a highly engaged community of close to one million supporters across platforms. Sturino joined Hillary Kerr on Second Life back in 2020 to talk about her winding career path from PR to social media to beauty (listen to her first episode here), but we had to have her back on to discuss her most recent pivot to fiction writing. In this episode, Sturino shares why she decided to write her debut novel, Sunny Side Up, and gets refreshingly candid about the challenges of continuing to transform your career when everyone has feedback. She opens up about what it's like to work with a ghostwriter and where she hopes to take this creative endeavor moving forward. Of course, she also catches us up on the last five years of bootstrapped growth for Megababe and shares what's on the horizon for the business.Buy Sturino's new book, Sunny Side Up, here!
