An update on The Interview episode, talk about wedding season, and more misc stuff towards the end :)
Vinnie interviews Amanda about an experience she’s had that involves a well-known, well-respected, “awesome guy” being inappropriate towards her. It took a lot to get this interview done and hope that you’ll share this interview with your loved ones because it’s important that the truth comes out. If you or anyone you know has ever experienced anything like this, we want to say how sorry we are that you’ve had to deal with it, but we also want to encourage you to share your story so that it doesn’t feel like such a heavy load to carry. You are never alone and it’s super important that we all stick together. **The following episode is intended to express my truth surrounding an experience. It is not for defamation of character and is not for malicious purposes. This episode could also contain trigger words, so please proceed at your own discretion.**

Join me this week as I introduce you to Grancha (and Nana) in a memorial episode.
Grancha, I'm so glad to have known you for 26 years, through everything. I know how much you missed Nana, but I'm glad you're no longer suffering and are finally able to hold the love of your life once again.
**If you or someone you know is suffering loss and/or grief, please know that you are not alone. Although grief looks different for everyone, it's important to allow yourself to feel it and heal from it. Time makes it easier, but it doesn't make it go away.

Join me this week as I welcome my second guest, Erica Masten! I really wanted to bring her on the show because she is someone that I not only adore, but who is a true healer. This episode is a Q&A style, as I ask her questions about her background, why she became a massage therapist and reiki healer, and her way of healing herself!
Erica, I can't thank you enough for agreeing to be a guest on the show! I'm so thankful you decided to do this with me because I feel that more people should know about the healing properties reiki, crystals, and massage therapy, and you are the perfect person to talk about it. You have helped to heal me in more ways than one since I met you a few years back and I'm forever grateful for your magical powers of healing.

Join me this week as I have my very first guest appearance!
Vin Freda joins me this week to talk about living alcohol free for an entire year and about his life with Cystic Fibrosis (CF).
For those of you that don't know, CF is a genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system due to the overproduction of thicker and stickier mucus that makes it difficult to breathe properly and produce enzymes in the pancreas that aid in digestion.
The movie I mention in this episode is called Five Feet Apart and can be a depiction of what life with CF looks like for some people. Fortunately, both Vin and his brother have not experienced CF as bad as it is seen in this film, but they still have to follow certain routines and take certain medications to keep it under control.

***Warning: This topic is one that could be triggering for some, as I talk about a special kind of loss and how it has affected me for years. This journey I’m about to take with you is an intimate one, as well as a spiritual one, but I’m finally ready to talk about it openly because I feel I’m far enough through the healing process that I’m able to share this with you. If you or a loved one is struggling with loss, please reach out to a licensed professional, as I am not licensed nor certified.

Join me this week as I discuss the importance of manifestation, law of attraction, and vision boards, and how they can lead to growth and personal development.
If you are new to all of this, I've included some resources to take a look at if you're interested in creating a vision board! Everyone creates vision boards basically the same way, with little differences here and there, but the end result is always the same: a visual representation of the things you want. Have fun!
If you make a vision board, be sure to tag me so I can see them!!
