On May 7th, my world changed when I lost my 6.5-pound Chihuahua, Ethel Mertz. She was my everything, and her absence left a massive void. In this deeply personal episode, I share my journey of crawling my way back into life after profound loss. Grief is a bald-headed monkey in a bad wig—it's ugly, it's chaotic, and it shows up uninvited—but healing comes when we choose to keep going anyway. Healing isn't a destination; it's a daily practice of showing up for yourself with a clear head and a grateful heart. I'm diving into my personal "wellness reset" and the daily rituals that keep me grounded: from seated morning Zumba to get the blood pumping, to a mindful, system-flushing herbal tea blend (ginger, rosemary, lemon balm, and basil), and of course, that essential morning cup of single-origin Kenya coffee from FB Roasters. We also explore the mental nourishment of reading, ancestral practices, and how it all connects to the Afro-Druid ethos of interconnected healing. Plus, I share a hilarious cautionary tale about accidentally making my French roast a little too strong this week!   Reset With Me: Valley of the Soul Retreat I am hosting an intimate wellness retreat right here in Chattanooga at the Glamping Collective from July 23rd through July 26th.

¿Por qué hay personas con 55 años que parece que tienen 60? ¿Y por qué hay otras que con 70 parecen tener 40? No es una cuestión de genética, ni tampoco es cuestión de suerte, sino más bien de capacidad. En concreto, es cuestión de cómo de rápido pierdes tus capacidades, porque cumplir años implica que cada vez el juego de la vida es un poquito más difícil, a menos que hagas lo que te voy a explicar hoy para revertir esto. Para empezar, cada persona puede decidir llevar la vida que quiera. Y ahí está la clave del envejecimiento, en las decisiones que se toman. Pero como digo siempre: Escoge el comportamiento y acepta las consecuencias. Porque es cierto que actualmente sin hacer nada especial, la esperanza de vida ha aumentado principalmente por motivos sanitarios, tecnológicos e higiénicos… PERO, lo que sí ha cambiado es la capacidad de manipular la velocidad del envejecimiento. La verdadera diferencia entre una persona que parece joven y otra que parece mucho mayor no suele estar en la fecha de nacimiento. Está en lo que su cuerpo todavía es capaz de hacer. Haz una prueba mental rápida. Piensa en cómo estabas hace diez años: ¿Te levantabas del suelo con más facilidad? ¿Subías escaleras sin pensarlo? ¿Podías cargar peso sin molestias? ¿Te sentías más ágil? ¿Tenías más energía? Si la respuesta es sí, entonces ya sabes exactamente de qué estoy hablando. Porque eso son capacidades. Y cuando las pierdes, empiezas a interpretar esa pérdida como envejecimiento. Los dos principales retos del envejecimiento: Osteoporosis y Sarcopenia Los dos grandes responsables de que pierdas tus capacidades con los años son dos procesos degenerativos de nuestro organismo: la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia. Casi todo el mundo sabe lo que es la osteoporosis porque ya hay una industria que se encarga cada año de gastarse miles de millones de dólares en que entendamos qué es, que le tengamos miedo y que, por supuesto, la combatamos con sus productos. Y no voy a decir qué industria es para que los de la leche no se me enfaden, pero es así. Sin embargo, lo curioso es que, aunque todo el mundo conozca la osteoporosis y casi nadie a la sarcopenia, ambas son primas hermanas porque son procesos de degeneración directos que se producen al ir cumpliendo años: La osteoporosis: Es la degeneración de la masa ósea. La sarcopenia: Es la degeneración de la masa muscular. La parte buena es que, aunque estos procesos no se pueden revertir por completo, sí que se pueden retrasar. Eso es lo que hace que una persona con 50 años parezca que tiene 30 y otra con 40 parezca que tiene 60. La diferencia radica exclusivamente en las decisiones que ha tomado cada uno de ellos con respecto a la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia. La encrucijada del envejecimiento: Dos caminos obligatorios Años vas a cumplir igual, por lo que te ves obligado a escoger entre dos caminos. No puedes escoger ir por los dos, ni tampoco puedes quedarte parado y no ir por ninguno. Tienes que decidir: Camino 1: Dejarse llevar y no hacer nada. En este caso, te beneficiarás de los avances médicos y de la farmacología, permitiéndote seguramente vivir una vida larga. Pero notarás que cada vez todo te cuesta un poquito más. Te dolerán las rodillas al subir las escaleras, no podrás cargar las bolsas de la compra, te dolerá la espalda al levantarte, dormirás fatal y engordarás más. Es el camino de los que dicen que todo esto es «cosa de la edad». Camino 2: Minimizar la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia. El camino de los que toman acción para blindar sus capacidades físicas y retrasar las consecuencias de la degradación ósea y muscular. El poder del entrenamiento de fuerza y musculación ¿Andar? ¿Zumba? ¿Pilates? ¿Cómo se minimizan realmente la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia? Con actividad física, especialmente entrenamiento de musculación. Si hubiera otra forma mejor, la diría. Si la zumba fuera mejor lo diría, si el spinning fuera mejor lo diría, si el pilates fuera mejor lo diría, si la natación fuera mejor lo diría. Pero es que lo mejor para fortalecer la musculatura y los huesos y, por tanto, retrasar la osteoporosis y la sarcopenia, es el entrenamiento de fuerza/musculación. Porque cuando aplicas entrenamientos de fuerza, lo que le estás diciendo al cuerpo es que debe preservar la masa muscular e incluso hacerla más fuerte y más grande. Y cuando haces esto, automáticamente todo lo demás mejora. Los beneficios metabólicos colaterales de entrenar fuerza: Mejor control del apetito y de la glucosa: Te haces más sensible a la insulina y puedes almacenar más glucógeno, lo que provoca que almacenes menos grasa y, por ende, engordes menos. Optimización de la tasa metabólica basal: Al preservar la masa muscular, usarás más calorías en reposo. No es una cantidad enorme, pero es muchísimo mejor que perder masa muscular y provocar que tu metabolismo disminuya de golpe. Si pierdes masa muscular (siguiendo el Camino 1), aunque sigas comiendo lo mismo que has comido toda la vida sin engordar, ahora vas a engordar. Pero no es por la edad; es porque has decidido tomar el camino 1. Si tomas el camino dos, no solamente no vas a perder capacidad metabólica con esas cantidades, sino que es posible que tengas que comer incluso más sin engordar, haciendo tu día a día mucho más placentero al poder disfrutar de cantidades más grandes de comida. Solo necesitas 3 horas a la semana Hablamos de algo que cualquiera puede conseguir entrenando 3 días por semana. No es necesario pasarse media vida en el gimnasio, son 3 horas a la semana. Probablemente menos. Todo el mundo tiene ese tiempo, pero es comprensible que no todo el mundo quiera hacerlo. De ahí el tema de que sea un camino que tienes que decidir tomar de forma consciente. Edad Cronológica frente a Edad Biológica ¿Por qué Wayne Rooney y Cristiano Ronaldo tienen la misma edad y Rooney parece el abuelo de Ronaldo? ¿Ha sido por suerte? ¿Por genética? ¿Por dinero? No, ha sido porque ambos han seguido estilos de vida muy diferentes. Eso es lo que separa de manera radical la edad cronológica (la que marca tu DNI) de la edad biológica (la que muestras al mundo). Y aunque hay muchos tests que te dicen cuál es tu edad biológica, la manera más honesta de medirla es mirarte en el espejo y preguntarte: ¿Cuántos años tendrías si no supieras los años que tienes? Eso es lo que separa a alguien que envejece muy rápido de alguien que parece que no envejece. No es el colágeno, no son las cremas, no son los retoques estéticos. Es la decisión de tomar el camino uno o el camino dos. La Curva de Joseph Signorile: Nunca es tarde para cambiar de camino La parte buena es que, aunque hasta ahora hayas ido por el camino uno, siempre tienes la opción de cambiarte al camino dos. La ciencia nos respalda a través de la curva de Joseph Signorile. Esta curva muestra cómo incluso una persona sedentaria que no haya hecho deporte nunca, empezando a entrenar fuerza en torno a los 40 años, puede conseguir que su envejecimiento se haga mucho más sostenido; casi parecido (aunque evidentemente no igual) al de una persona que lleva entrenando de forma constante desde su juventud. Escoge tu comportamiento y acepta las consecuencias Aquí están los datos, ahora te toca a ti escoger el camino que quieras. Porque escojas el camino que escojas, lo que es innegable es que envejecer es un premio, y es muchísimo mejor cumplir años que no cumplirlos. Pero asumiendo que los vas a cumplir, tú decides cómo quieres llevarlos. Como te dije al principio: escoge el comportamiento y acepta las consecuencias. Origen

She’s 101 years old. She still swims. She goes to Zumba. And she bakes her own bread every week. Betty Morris isn’t an anomaly — she’s a blueprint for designing a life you love. This week’s solo episode is for the woman who doesn’t just want more years, she wants more life in those years! I’m sharing Betty’s four foundational practices for becoming a centenarian, plus one more that I’ve added from my own journey. Whether you’re in your 50s, 60s, or beyond, these practices are ones you can implement today, in whatever form calls to you. In this episode, you'll discover: Why consistent movement, in whatever form you enjoy, may be the single most important thing you can do for longevity right now How community connection literally adds years to your life, and creative ways to find (or build) yours The gratitude practice I use every night before bed, and why being grateful for the hard things is the real spiritual work How to treat yourself in ways that nourish your body and soul, not just your sweet tooth Why a daily spiritual practice like meditation, journaling, and/or energy work is the hidden pillar of physical health that Betty didn’t mention Resources & links mentioned: YouTube channel for strength training exercises tailored for women 50+ youtube.com/@HT-Physio Meetup.com — find local groups and communities around shared interests GloriaRand.com — learn more about Light Language sessions for midlife women Previous episode: Breaking Free from Loneliness: Community After 50 Design Your Life, Your Way – next steps: Book a private Light Language session with me: bit.ly/LLEpodcast30 Learn more about working with Gloria Grace Rand: EngageWithGloria.com If this episode spoke to you, leave us a review.

Running can be the most consistent thing in your life, right up until your body forces a plot twist. Shelly Rose is back, and the “first half marathon” version of her has evolved into a runner with multiple half marathons, Ragnar memories, Run Disney miles, and a very real injury chapter that includes a calf strain and plantar fasciitis. That detour sparks a bigger question we all face: how do you keep building fitness when running cannot be the only tool?We get practical about cross-training for runners, including what actually counts and why the purpose matters more than the label. We talk aerobic capacity and zone 2 work, the role of mobility and strength training, and the surprisingly specific details that make workouts work or fail, like aqua jogging without losing your mind, stationary bike discomfort, and why hot yoga can be approachable even if you do not “flow.” Shelly also shares how dance fitness like Jazzercise and Zumba delivers sweat, joy, and the lateral movement running misses, plus how “wrong and strong” can be a perfect mindset for learning something new safely.Then we go deeper into the mental side: comparison, perfectionism, and what it feels like to rebuild after time off while your watch keeps reminding you of past paces. We close with a joyful movement draft for stressful days, low impact days, and “I want to feel strong” days, plus a listener challenge to help us pick the next cross-training adventure.Subscribe, share this with a runner who needs options, and leave a review if the show helps you keep showing up.

In this episode, Aimee sits down with Marla Rottenstreich, a fitness professional, doula, and COO of One Israel Fund. She opens up for the first time about her fertility journey, navigating a congenital uterine anomaly, pregnancy complications, and grief. This conversation is a vulnerable exploration of how deep medical trauma reshapes the path to parenthood. Marla opens up about being diagnosed at age 17 with a bicornuate uterus and told she would likely never have children. She describes overcoming that prognosis only to face the isolating grief of secondary infertility, three miscarriages, and the trauma of a third-trimester stillbirth. Through her powerful story, she highlights the importance of somatic movement, faith, and radical self-compassion to process trapped trauma and reclaim her agency. If you are navigating the difficult intersection of medical trauma, pregnancy loss, and family building, this episode offers a compassionate and grounded perspective filled with resilience and perseverance.

Témoignage consommateur de Marion C., interviewée par Eric lors d'une Visio le 16 février 2026.----  Marion, 30 ans, vit en Haute-Savoie près de Saint-Jorioz, autour du lac d'Annecy. Elle découvre Kriss-Laure il y a 1 an et demi grâce à une amie : une dégustation entre elles, des échantillons, et ce premier “ok, c'est bon… on tente”.À ce moment-là, Marion a un objectif clair : perdre du poids, se remettre en forme et retrouver une alimentation plus saine. Elle raconte être montée jusqu'à 130 kg, avec une malbouffe devenue automatique : peu de fruits et légumes, beaucoup de “rapide”, du sucré et des quantités trop importantes. Pas par ignorance… mais parce que, émotionnellement, elle n'arrivait plus à se remettre aux fourneaux.Avec Kriss-Laure, tout bascule vite : le goût lui plaît, mais surtout elle redécouvre la satiété. Dès les premiers jours, elle est surprise de ne plus avoir faim en matinée. Et côté corps, un changement l'a marquée : une meilleure digestion, la disparition des brûlures d'estomac et des remontées acides qui gâchaient ses nuits.Résultat : Marion perd 36 kg et atteint 93 kg, qu'elle maintient depuis environ 6 mois. Elle explique aussi que le mouvement est revenu plus facilement : un peu de vélo pour aller au travail, de la zumba, puis la possibilité de refaire de vraies sorties. Aujourd'hui, elle peut marcher, randonner, voyager, profiter de la montagne… là où, avant, tout était limité.Marion veut maintenant relancer une nouvelle phase pour se rapprocher de son objectif : retrouver un poids où elle se sent pleinement bien, tout en gardant une approche durable, réaliste, et adaptée à sa vie.----Gammes consommées : Entremets, Potage.----Inscrivez-vous pour suivre nos prochains webinaires✨ : https://kriss-laure.com/pages/agendaHébergé par Ausha.

In a special Mother's Day takeover episode of Wise_N_Nerdy, the mics are handed over to two incredible moms—Kelsi and Rebecca—bringing a fresh, hilarious, and heartfelt perspective to the show fans know and love. This unique episode flips the script as the usual dad hosts step aside, proving once again that fandom and family go hand-in-hand… and that moms might just run the show better anyway. The episode kicks off with the signature Question of the Week: “What is something that mothers typically do much better than fathers?” What starts as a thoughtful discussion quickly evolves into a fun mix of honest insights, playful debate, and—unsurprisingly—a few proud wife moments as Kelsi and Rebecca take time to brag on their husbands. It's the perfect blend of humor and authenticity that sets the tone for the entire episode. With the roll of the dice guiding the journey, the hosts dive straight into a special twist on a fan-favorite segment: “Mommy, Tell Me A Story.” Here, the two moms share real-life parenting tales that are equal parts chaotic and relatable. With four sons between them, it's no surprise the conversation veers into an abundance of potty-training stories—because let's face it, parenting young boys comes with its own brand of unforgettable adventures. Next up, the dice decree it's time for “Bad Mom Jokes.” Kelsi kicks things off with some delightfully groan-worthy, mom-themed humor before Rebecca raises the stakes by pulling out a deck of joke cards, delivering punchlines that are as cringe-worthy as they are hilarious. It's the kind of segment that will have listeners laughing, groaning, and maybe even stealing a few jokes for themselves. The momentum continues with “What Are You Nerding Out About?” where the hosts let their fandom flags fly. Kelsi shares her fascination with Autopsy of a Fairytale by Nicole Scarano—a captivating blend of Disney nostalgia and true crime intrigue—while Rebecca dives into her passion for music, especially the energizing themes that fuel her Zumba classes. It's a reminder that no matter how busy life gets, there's always room to embrace what you love. As the dice roll on, the conversation shifts into the thoughtful “How Do I…?” segment. Here, Kelsi and Rebecca open up about the challenge many moms face: finding time for themselves without being overwhelmed by mom guilt. Their candid discussion offers practical insights, encouragement, and a much-needed reminder that self-care isn't selfish—it's essential. Finally, the episode wraps with the “Ministry of Mamas” segment, where the hosts react to a jaw-dropping Reddit story involving a messy divorce, a controversial mother-in-law, and a wedding ultimatum that puts family loyalty to the test. Kelsi and Rebecca break down the situation with humor, empathy, and just the right amount of sass, leaving listeners with plenty to think about. This Mother's Day special isn't just a fun twist—it's a celebration of motherhood, fandom, and the beautifully chaotic lives that connect them. Whether you're here for the laughs, the stories, or the relatable parenting moments, this episode is a perfect reminder to Find your FAMdom and embrace every part of the journey.

How community drives brand growth—and why it only works when it's built into the customer experience. In this episode of the Frictionless Growth Marketing Podcast, I sit down with Carolina Moraes, Chief Marketing Officer at Zumba, to break down how one of the most recognized global fitness brands has turned community into a powerful growth engine over 25 years. But here's the nuance most brands miss: Community isn't something you create. It's something you earn. And it only forms when the customer experience is designed in a way that makes people feel like your brand was built for someone like them. From a growth marketing perspective, this episode explores what it really takes to drive sustainable brand growth, retention, and loyalty through community. We get into: Why community marketing strategy often falls short—and what actually makes it work How customer experience design drives retention, loyalty, and word of mouth The difference between building a brand community and simply creating a container for engagement How Zumba equips instructors to deliver a consistent, inclusive experience at scale Why representation isn't just a marketing tactic—it's an experience design principle The signal that you've built real community (hint: it happens without you) What most brands overlook about community as a growth lever If you're focused on growth marketing, brand growth, customer retention, and building a community that actually lasts, this episode will change how you think about what it takes. Because the brands that win don't build community first. They design experiences people want to belong to—and community becomes the outcome.

Danny Gillane, Director of the Lafayette Public Library System, joins Discover Lafayette for a timely conversation about the evolving role of our parish libraries and the tax renewal on the ballot Saturday, May 16, 2026. Gillane has served Lafayette's library system for nearly two decades, following earlier work with public and academic libraries including UL-Lafayette and the Louisiana State Library. He earned a master's degree in library science from Louisiana State University. Serving Lafayette Parish through nine branches, the system has grown steadily over the past two decades, with major regional libraries in Carencro, Youngsville, Scott, and Lafayette, alongside smaller satellite locations embedded in community centers. Gillane emphasizes that the system's mission extends far beyond books and is a community asset offering a treasure trove of resources. “The whole community pays for the library. So we are a shared resource,” he explains. “There's no money transaction when you walk through the door.” That shared investment delivers a remarkable range of services. In addition to physical and digital books, including downloadable audiobooks comparable to commercial platforms, the library offers free access to meeting rooms, study spaces, and technology resources. In 2025 alone, “over 35,000 people booked a study room or a meeting room,” and the library system hosted more than “3,800 programs with over 80,000 attendees.” Programming spans all ages and interests: technology training, genealogy research, makerspaces with 3D printers and laser cutters, and even recreational offerings like Zumba and mahjong. Library members can also check out musical instruments such as violins, guitars, and accordions for 30 days, providing families a low-risk way to explore new interests. “Before you know if it's going to stick,” Gillane notes, “let's check this out.” One of the library's most popular and lesser-known benefits is free access to local cultural institutions. With a library card, patrons can reserve passes to destinations such as the Hilliard Art Museum, Vermilionville, Alexandre Mouton House/Lafayette Museum, Lafayette Science Museum and the Children's Museum, with admission covering an entire household. The system has also recently partnered to provide free parking access at Moncus Park. Additional llibrary membership resources include online access to training and test prep courses such as Udemy, Mometrix Test Preparation, LinkedIn Learning, and Learning Express Library. Gillane describes the library as an essential “third space” in the community: “It's a good space for people to come together. There's no discriminating who comes in, no judging. Check out what we have, book a room, hang out.” This community-centered mission is directly tied to the upcoming May 16, 2026 ballot, where voters will consider renewal of a 3.12 mill property tax that funds approximately 65% of the library's operating revenue. If approved, the renewal would extend funding for ten years beginning in 2027. The tax generates about $8.89 million a year for operation and maintenance of buildings and services and for personnel “It pays for the operation of the library, maintenance of the buildings, any capital improvements, everything is encompassed in these two taxes,” Gillane explains, referencing the system's two dedicated millages. He stresses the importance of voter awareness: “We are at the bottom of the ballot, so keep going.” The stakes are significant. The library system operates on an annual budget of just over $14 million and has recently moved from a $1 million deficit in 2021 to a more stable financial position through cost-cutting and increased tax revenues. That stability is now enabling long-delayed projects, including major renovations to the South Regional Library, expansion of the North Regional Library in Carencro, and plans for a new Northeast Regional Library near the Holy Rosary site which is anticipated to open around early 2028. Gillane underscores that community input remains vital to the system's future. “If you ever go in the library and there is something you wish we had, please reach out. We don't hear from enough people, and we want to be there for everyone in our community.” For those who haven't visited recently, his message is simple: “Please come in. We'd love to see you. There's plenty to see.” As Lafayette Parish prepares for the May 16 vote, this conversation offers a clear reminder that the public library is not just a place for books—it is a dynamic, community-funded resource that continues to evolve with the needs of Acadiana.

Da soll noch mal einer sagen, wir sind nicht sportlich – zumindest an den Mikros. Zu Gast ist heute die Führungsriege des Sportvereins Bottrop 2008: Markus und Matthias, die beiden Vorsitzenden der Truppe, und Jenni mit i – die Rhythmus-Chefin der Zumba-Abteilung. Gemeinsam stellt das Trio Infernal ihren Verein vor und erzählt, warum es sich absolut lohnt, dabei zu sein. Klar, Jiu-Jitsu geht immer – gut für den ZOB. Zumba sorgt für gute Laune und den nötigen Hüftschwung. Und die Tanzgarde? Die bringt die Kids auch mal wieder raus aus dem Haus. Die drei nehmen ihre Vereinsarbeit ernst und geben jeden Tag 100 %, damit alles läuft – und noch ein bisschen mehr. Es werden Feste organisiert, Sponsoren klargemacht und vor allem dafür gesorgt, dass sich alle wohlfühlen. Das funktioniert seit über 15 Jahren ziemlich gut – aber ein bisschen mehr geht ja bekanntlich immer. Wie genau? Das erfahrt ihr heute im Bottcast.

Nigerian Bishop on Christian Persecution, Kidnappings, and the Spread of Islamist Violence Host Larry Alex Sta welcomes Lawrence Fox and Nigerian Anglican Bishop Juwan Zumba of Kuru to discuss alleged persecution of Christians in Nigeria and Islam's growing influence in Britain. Zumba recounts how Christians and Muslims once lived peacefully in Nigeria but says rising fundamentalism has led to Fulani militia attacks, land seizures, and church communities being wiped out, including a night raid that killed 43 in his diocese and later attacks killing 33 on Palm Sunday and about 200 near Christmas 2023. He describes weekly truckloads of Muslim youths moved south, and says kidnappings target Christians, including a failed attempt to kidnap him on Nov. 2, 2024, followed by his neighbor's abduction for ransom. The group responds to a Tucker Carlson clip dismissing targeted Christian persecution as propaganda.

Send us Fan MailI got a question I hear a lot: why did the music disappear from Coffee with a Twist? The honest answer is podcast copyright. Using music the wrong way can trigger takedowns, restrictions, or worse, and I'm not willing to risk the content I've worked hard to build. So I talk through what changed, what I'd do instead (like a simple original jingle), and why “safe and consistent” beats “flashy and stressful” every time for an independent creator. From there, I'm checking in from a quiet morning on my deck with a cup of coffee before work. We get into real-life outdoor living problems like brutal sun, no shade, and patio furniture that gets destroyed even when you try to do everything right. I share how I'm buying pieces slowly, staying picky on purpose, and aiming for timeless home decor choices that won't feel dated when trends move on. We also touch wellness and mental health in the most practical way: moving again. Zumba, walks, and a physical therapy style app are helping me feel better day by day, even when the first week is pure muscle burn. I wrap with a small family reset in Ocean City, Maryland, plus a simple challenge to find 15 minutes of peace, whether that's a bath, fresh air, or getting your hands in the garden. If this kind of honest check-in helps you, subscribe, share the show with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find us.Thanks for listening coffee with a twist.Email me at: coffeewitatwist@gmail.comNote: I don't own copyrights to any music you hear in any of my episodes.

Jesse hosts the Learnings and Missteps podcast and introduces guest Maya McGlynn, a Pennsylvania-based construction influencer, writer, photographer, and fractional support partner who focuses on “the people behind the work.” Jesse gives an LnM Family shout-out to Bryce Ager for reviewing one of Jesse's construction trainings, and notes his business offers training, coaching, and consulting. Maya explains her passion for blue-collar stories comes from building relationships and bridging gaps between management and shop/field workers, emphasizing retention and the need for leaders to “give a shit,” not just attract more people into the industry. They discuss treating people well as foundational to solving construction's workforce challenges, rising interest in more human-centered workplaces, and how companies that only rely on pay raises and ignore relationships will be left behind.

Samantha has an update on a new adventure she is (potentially) embarking on. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stacy Scarcella, a former corporate executive, transitioned to a creative entrepreneur after 13 years in fashion, advertising, and technology. Diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome at 25, she faced significant challenges, including legal blindness and potential infertility. Despite a grim prognosis, Stacy pursued self-care, research, and adaptive activities like Zumba and yoga. She emphasized the importance of self-advocacy and resilience. Stacy also works in mental health advocacy, particularly for adolescents, highlighting the need for early intervention and support. Her journey underscores the value of creativity, freedom, and positivity in overcoming health challenges. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/stacy-scarcella    Highlights from today's episode include:  Be your own health advocate and move one step at a time: When she was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome at 25 with a very grim prognosis, Stacy chose not to stay stuck in fear. She did her own research, sought multiple opinions, adjusted her lifestyle, and focused on "What can I do right now and one minute forward?" rather than catastrophizing the future. Create freedom and possibility by redefining your path: Leaving a "boxed-in" corporate career, Stacy built Plaid Pony Productions around freedom: choosing diverse projects, not being tied to one creative partner, and continually pivoting (Zumba, yoga, events, mental health advocacy). Her core mindset  Bedside manner and medical 'fashion' can shape a patient's fate:  Manon highlights how the way a diagnosis is delivered can deeply harm or help a patient. She compares it to her own experience of being told she "needed" a C‑section because of narrow hips, only to safely have a home vaginal birth after seeking many opinions. She stresses that practitioners must be conscious of their language and the current "fashion" in medicine, because patients often meet a diagnosis first as doom and gloom, with very little visible information about alternatives, self-care, and hopeful possibilities.   ABOUT STACY SCARSELLA: For more than two decades, Stacy Scarsella has built a career defined by vision, resilience, and reinvention. A former corporate executive turned creative entrepreneur, Stacy spent over 15 years climbing the ranks in fashion, advertising, and technology working with industry giants such as Armani, Macy's, Talbots, TJX Companies, and Bose. Her career trajectory pointed toward becoming a CMO, but the demands of corporate life, constant travel, long hours, and lack of fulfillment sparked a personal reckoning. In 2015, following a season marked by profound loss and transformation, Stacy traded boardrooms for the beaches of Los Angeles, where a moment of clarity reshaped her entire future. That clarity became Plaid Pony Productions, a full-service production company known for its storytelling integrity, cinematic creativity, and world-class brand activations. From major commercial campaigns to experiential events, Stacy leads her team in producing standout work for global names including Disney, AT&T, and other Fortune 500 companies. Known for her strategic foresight and innate ability to forecast industry shifts, she's built a business that blends artistry with operational precision delivering results that can't be replicated by automation or artificial intelligence. But Stacy's story runs deeper than her professional accomplishments. Diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome at 25 and told she might never have children or live past 40, she defied every prediction. Today, at 43, she's a mother of two, a mentor, and a passionate advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention causes close to her heart following the loss of her best friend. Her philosophy, "Why not?", defines her approach to both business and life: embracing creativity, curiosity, and courage in the face of uncertainty. Beyond the studio, Stacy is a creative force in every sense an artist, yoga enthusiast, avid gardener, and dual citizen of Italy who finds joy in simple rituals like family dinners and dancing in the kitchen. Through speaking, consulting, and community initiatives, she now helps others humanize their brands in the age of AI, teaching entrepreneurs how to connect authentically and lead with purpose. Her work, both on and off the set, is a testament to her greatest belief: that success is not about control it's about creating a life that feels deeply alive. Core purpose/passion: My philosophy is: "Why not?", and it defines my approach to both business and life: embracing creativity, curiosity, and courage in the face of uncertainty. –  Facebook  |  Website | LinkedIn | Instagram - Stacy | Instagram - PladPony ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, RBHT, FCAH: As a retired Naturopath 1992-2021, I saw an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

Fad workouts have been with us for decades, but they go back much further than we realize. Long before CrossFit, Zumba, P90X, Tae Box, Jazzercise or Jack LaLanne, we had 19th century strongmen. These mustachioed showmen were the first global fitness influencers. They hauled trunks of weights onto steamships, toured the world, then sold exercise equipment through the mail. The most famous was Eugene Sandow, who broke chains, and created with his own body a "manned cavalry bridge" where he would lie down while men, horses, and a carriage were driven over his body. He even fought a lion in front of an auditorium and won, although the lion was almost definitely sedated. Today’s guest is Connor Heffernan, author of “When Fitness Went Global: The Rise of Physical Culture in the Nineteenth Century.” In this episode, we discuss: Ancient Egyptians were basically doing CrossFit thousands of years ago. They trained with swinging sandbags that look exactly like modern kettlebell flows. One of the first exercise practices to experience globalization was Indian club-swinging. Indian club-swinging, originating from the heavy training clubs used by Indian wrestlers and soldiers for centuries, was observed and adopted by British military officers stationed in India during the early 1800s. Early diet culture was a carnival of quack science. Victorian fitness magazines were filled with miracle tonics, starvation cures and pseudoscientific meal plans. Many of our “new” diet trends are rebranded versions of schemes first marketed with sepia portraits and dubious testimonials. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

As co-owner of this Luray-based group exercise studio, Marcy has spent decades transforming the way her community approaches health and wellness. In this episode of The Valley Today, she talks with host Janet Michael and co-host Gina Hilliard, president of the Luray/Page Chamber of Commerce, to share her vision for accessible, enjoyable fitness. From the Eighties to Today: A Fitness Journey Marcy's story begins in the era of leg warmers and Jane Fonda workout videos. Together with her business partner Tammy Landis, she started teaching group exercise classes at what was then known as the Luray Fitness Center back in the 1980s and 1990s. However, their approach has evolved far beyond the aerobics craze of decades past. "We've always enjoyed and loved the idea of having a group exercise venue," Marcy explains, "just because some people aren't as motivated to do it independently as they would be with the help and support of others." Something for Everyone Today, Downtown Studios Unlimited offers an impressive array of classes designed to meet every fitness level and interest. The schedule includes everything from "Fit for Life"—a beginner-friendly class offered twice weekly—to more challenging options like cycling, step aerobics, and Tabata (a high-intensity interval training format). Moreover, the studio caters to those seeking mind-body balance. Gentle morning yoga classes provide stretching and relaxation, while evening sessions deliver more challenging workouts. Additionally, the studio offers bar Pilates, meditation with sound bath therapy, and even karate classes for ages six through adult. "We try to make sure that we offer classes that will fit all levels and all abilities," Marcy emphasizes. Furthermore, she personally helps newcomers find the right fit, ensuring they don't wander into a class that feels too intimidating or too easy. Breaking Down Barriers One of the studio's greatest strengths lies in its welcoming atmosphere. Marcy actively works to eliminate the intimidation factor that keeps many people from trying group fitness. When potential members express concerns about competition or judgment, she quickly sets the record straight. "Nobody really watches anybody but me because they're too worried about what I'm doing," she reassures. "It's very individualized, yet you're with your friends." Indeed, the studio has become a hub for building genuine connections. New residents frequently discover that Downtown Studios offers more than just exercise—it provides a pathway to community integration. As Marcy notes, many members have expressed relief at finally knowing people in their new hometown. Age Is Just a Number The studio's membership spans an remarkable age range. High school athletes come to improve their performance in track or basketball. Meanwhile, members in their eighties continue to maintain their strength and balance. This diversity creates a rich, multigenerational environment where everyone learns from each other. Marcy particularly emphasizes the importance of functional fitness as people age. "There's little things that as we get older, we wanna still be able to do," she points out, referencing everyday activities like reaching high shelves or playing with grandchildren. Consequently, the studio's strength and balance training helps members maintain independence and quality of life. Beyond the Workout Downtown Studios Unlimited also addresses mental and emotional wellness. Rich, the studio's meditation coach, leads sessions featuring sound bath therapy—a deeply relaxing experience that helps participants clear their minds and reset. "By the time you're over, you're kinda like, was that an hour?" Marcy laughs, comparing it to the timeless feeling of a good massage. Additionally, the studio has partnered with Forever Dancing Studio next door, which offers Jujitsu and Zumba. This collaboration allows members to access dual memberships, expanding their fitness options even further. A Higher Calling Throughout the conversation, Marcy's passion for community health shines through. She views her work not as a business venture but as a mission to promote wellbeing throughout Luray. "Any of us in the fitness industry, we're not in it just for ourselves," she reflects. "We're in it to promote health and wellbeing regardless if they come to us or they go somewhere else for it." This philosophy extends to her relationships with other fitness professionals. She regularly receives referrals from local physical therapists who recognize the value of continued exercise in a supportive group setting. Getting Started For those interested in joining this vibrant fitness community, Marcy recommends starting with the studio's Facebook page or website at DowntownStudiosUnlimited.com. There, prospective members can view the full class schedule and sign up for sessions. Marcy personally reviews new registrations and reaches out to help newcomers find their perfect fit. Looking Ahead As the conversation wraps up, Gina announces upcoming Chamber events, including a Women in Business paint and sip session and an annual networking breakfast with local elected officials. She also floated the idea of hosting a Women in Business event at Downtown Studios, allowing participants to sample different classes—an idea that Marcy enthusiastically welcomed. For anyone who made a New Year's resolution to get healthier, try something new, or simply meet more people in their community, Downtown Studios Unlimited offers a low-barrier entry point. As Marcy's newest member discovered, sometimes you fall in love with a place before you've even broken a sweat.
