JJ welcomes Sheila Donohue for a conversation that blends entrepreneurship, lifestyle, and the art of curated Italian wines and foods. Sheila shares how her company, Verovino, sources small-batch, farm-made wines, olive oils, and specialty foods—many not readily available in the U.S.—and delivers them to both consumers and businesses across America. In This Episode Meet Sheila in Bologna: Sheila shares her life in Bologna, Italy, where she's lived since 2001, and how Italy shaped her expertise and relationships with producers. What Verovino does: Verovino curates and imports authentic, sustainably made, small-batch products—primarily from Italy, plus select producers from other countries and California—selling B2B and direct-to-consumer. From fintech to food & wine: Sheila explains her background in financial technology (fintech), her sommelier training in Italy, and how her personal immersion in artisan food culture inspired the company. Starting from a "clean slate": In 2017, after major life changes, Sheila began building Verovino—funded through savings—and took early action by importing product and going door-to-door to find customers. How the business grows: Sheila emphasizes the importance of continuity (repeat business), building scale, and covering operating expenses. She explains how an omni-channel strategy helps stabilize the business: Distributors nationwide Wine stores & restaurants (especially in California) Direct-to-consumer shipping across the U.S. Corporate gifting & events Marketing & education that compounds: Verovino invests in education and storytelling through digital marketing—especially their blog and YouTube channel—to build long-term brand trust and demand. Product philosophy: As a sommelier-led team, Sheila curates for variety and distinction: reds, whites, rosés, orange wines, sparkling (dry and sweet), plus standout olive oils—including single-varietal olive oils with specific pairing profiles. Events as a growth engine: Sheila shares how tastings, fundraisers, private events, and collaborations introduce people to the products—because tasting creates appreciation and connection. Specialty foods: The conversation highlights a Piedmont hazelnut producer offering toasted hazelnuts, caramelized hazelnuts, hazelnut creams, pasta, and pestos—plus JJ's enthusiasm for pistachio cream and clean ingredients. Wine club & gifting: Sheila describes Verovino's monthly or quarterly wine club, curated shipments with insider notes and stories, and a growing trend of gifting memberships (including personalized letters). Gift sets: Verovino offers curated gift sets—popular in December—and a standout option that pairs wine + olive oil, plus expanded options for non-wine drinkers. A second brand line for broader appeal: To avoid being pigeonholed and to meet different market needs, Sheila shares how Verovino expanded into a separate line for more "recognizable" wines, including Prosecco and kegs—ideal for events and high-volume restaurant service. Advice for new producers: Sheila emphasizes the need to stand out in a crowded market—especially as the wine industry faces headwinds—and to clearly differentiate your product and message. Memorable Moments JJ connects her own journey as a winemaker (High Vibrational Wines) and discusses why she values small-batch, purpose-driven production over mass distribution. A fun community collaboration emerges: JJ invites Sheila to co-create a March event in Ojai with "Women Behind the Business: Real Conversations," potentially adding a wine tasting experience—and they discover their birthdays are both in March. Connect with Sheila / Verovino Website: Verovino.com YouTube: Vero Vino Instagram & Facebook: VeroVinoGusto Closing: JJ encourages listeners to explore Verovino for personal discovery, gifting, and creating meaningful food-and-wine experiences that bring "a taste of Italy" home.

From an idea to a platform for women's voices, this episode looks at the journey of Faith in Focus and Sisters on Air. Iffat Mirza is joined by Head Producer Shermeen Butt and editor Nadeera to discuss the evolution of the all female shows, creative challenges, and the responsibility of producing faith-centred content with depth, clarity, and integrity.

From planning the schedule to shaping digital conversations, this episode explores how Voice of Islam stays connected across platforms. Faiza Mirza is joined by Amna Aitullah, Head of Scheduling, alongside Zofishan Naeem and Anam Mahmood, who oversee social media for the station's flagship shows. Together, they discuss collaboration, digital challenges, and how working voluntarily for Voice of Islam fosters growth, unity, and purpose.

Early mornings, fast decisions, and constant balance, this episode focuses on the Breakfast Show and how it has grown over the years. Faiza Mirza speaks to producers Hania Yuqub and Simab Rehman about shaping tone, engaging audiences, developing confidence, and building a programme rooted in faith, relevance, and service.

Behind one of Voice of Islam's flagship programmes is an female production team navigating pressure, live broadcasting, and public responsibility. Iffat Mirza speaks with Drive Time Executive Producer Faiza Mirza and long-standing producer Nabeela Shah about challenges, achievements, and how teamwork, trust, and values shape a show heard during the busiest hours of the day.

What does it take to keep a station running beyond the microphone? Faiza Mirza speaks to Sitara Brooj Akbar, a key figure in management, digital platforms, and the Breakfast Show. The conversation explores growth, adaptability, and how voluntary service at Voice of Islam has shaped both skills and purpose over the past decade.

As part of the 10-year commemoration of Voice of Islam, Women Behind the Voice begins by asking a simple question: who are the women shaping what we hear on air? Co-hosts Faiza Mirza and Iffat Mirza introduce the premise behind the series, reflecting on service, teamwork, and why working behind the scenes at Voice of Islam is both a responsibility and an honour.

Jessica Weaver: Breaking the Mold, Building Women's Wealth On this episode of the Make Mental Health Matter Show host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt has special guest Jessica Weaver. Little bit about Jessica's story from her: It is my life mission to educate, encourage, and transform women's lives. And maybe have some fun along the way. Education is the best accessory! I'm Jessica Weaver AKA Not Your Father's Advisor, yes the typical advisor is a male in his 60s, and I took a stance to find my own voice in the finance industry over a decade ago! I'm a TV show host, three-time best selling author, international speaker, and the founder of the Women's Wealth Boutique. The Women's Wealth Boutique is the fastest growing women owned financial firm in the United States. As a female in a male-dominated industry I always felt like an outsider. I felt the guilt of not fitting into the traditional role as an advisor, especially working for my father's firm. I felt the fear of taking the risk, yet also the uncomfortable feeling of NOT taking the risk. I've turned down so many traditional opportunities (yes even turning down money!) in order to discover who I am, how I bring my best self to the table, and find my own significance in the world! I receive wealth everyday. I receive love everyday and I give love everyday. I no longer sacrifice work or family, I have it all. I want you to have it all! I show up from a place of power and grace. My work is transformational to the women in our community! Short bio: Jessica Weaver is a Certified Financial Planner, Certified Divorce Financial Analyst, CEO of The Wealth Boutique, 5 times best selling author, and TV show host of Women Behind the Millions. Founder of The Wealth Boutique, an all female financial firm and Pinkfix Productions, a multi media company.

Though well-known across Europe by name, the real lives of women such as Joan of Arc and Jadwiga of Poland have been buried under banners of nationalistic agendas that have twisted their stories through the ages. Oxford historian Janina Ramirez joins Sir Tony Robinson to illuminate the truth of these incredible women, and disentangle their real stories from the myths imposed on them through time. From Lady Godiva's real name, Godgifu, and how her eroticised image has overshadowed her real survival as a landowning woman in tumultuous times, to Joan of Arc's journey to becoming a warrior in a war-torn and plague-ravaged land, to Catherine of Siena's vivid visions and Jadwiga's reign as monarch of Poland, Professor Ramirez sheds light on truths long enshrouded by myths.

Send us a textThe spark starts at a school desk with a kid who lived by the radio. From that early obsession, Dr. LaJoyce Brookshire built a career producing shows, shaping artists, and guarding images at the highest levels of music. We walk through those rooms with her—Bad Boy hallways, photo sets under the Brooklyn Bridge, tense moments that turned into trust—and unpack how advocacy, preparation, and presence can transform raw talent into a durable brand.The conversation isn't nostalgia; it's a field guide for creatives, publicists, and leaders who need to show up when the stakes are messy. Dr. Brookshire breaks down the lost art of artist development, explains why “no exposure before readiness” saves careers, and shares the Biggie media-training saga that evolved from friction to family. We talk about the emotional bill of grinding through grief, the cost of silence, and the power of calling your village early. Her litmus test for relationships—who deposits more than they withdraw—doubles as a compass for healthier teams and boundaries.We also confront representation and erasure. Too many women who built pop culture were left out of the retellings, so she co-authored Women Behind the Mic and launched Backstage Pass Careers to help students see the jobs behind the spotlight: publicity, A&R, promotions, styling, songwriting. Then we pivot to her health mission as the Good Doctor, teaching people to attain, maintain, and reclaim wellness with practical tools like food journaling and her 21-day detox program. The through line is clear: author your story, protect your energy, and build systems that let you keep your light bright without burning out.If this resonates, subscribe and share it with someone who needs a boost.

The Outdoors Fix is a podcast to inspire you to make the outdoors a bigger part of your life. It's hosted by Liv Bolton. This episode takes us to the beautiful Dove Stone Reservoir on the edge of Greater Manchester, where Liv Bolton walks with Emily Thornton and Lucy Hird — the duo known as Soft Girls Who Hike. They're the voices behind the viral #softhiking trend — a social media movement that's reached millions and is redefining what it can mean to go for a walk in nature. Their message? Hiking doesn't have to be intense or hardcore. You can take it slow, go at your own pace, and still reap all the benefits of being outdoors. Emily and Lucy, who live in Manchester and the Peak District, credit their time hiking together with deepening their friendship, helping with grief, and sparking a vibrant online and real-life community through their group walks. Liv joined them for a gentle hike to learn more about the women behind the movement — and why they believe soft hiking is appealing for so many right now. We hope you enjoy the conversation — and a big thank you to Emily and Lucy!

Hello and welcome to episode four of our third season of That's So Auburn! I'm Nancy Backus, Mayor of the City of Auburn, and today I'm joined by two guests, Interim Events Supervisor Kristy Pachciarz and Events Coordinator Amanda Valdez! They're the brainpower behind many of our events organized by our Parks, Arts and Recreation department, such as Veterans Parade, Petpalooza, KidsDay, Lighted Santa Parade and of course, the Auburn Farmers Market. Kristy has been with the City of Auburn since 2006. It wasn't long after she joined our ranks that she created Petpalooza, one of the premiere pet-related events in South King County, let alone the State of Washington. She's also had a hand in creating half a dozen others, like Daddy Daughter Date Night and Peter Cotton Trail. She organizes the Veterans Parade each and every year, alongside a handful of other major events, so she's quite busy just about every day of the year. Amanda joined the City of Auburn in 2015 and since becoming a coordinator in 2016, has overseen the Auburn Farmers Market each and every summer. She's helped shepherd the market into a premiere shopping experience for our Auburn residents and visitors, bringing fresh produce, craft-made items, delicious sweets and more to thousands of our patrons. She also oversees our Lighted Santa Parade, one of my favorite events of the year. I just love seeing all of the people march down to City Hall and stand in awe as our tree lighter flips the switch.
