Coffee Fueled Stories with Michelle Schmer

By Michelle Schmer AKA DJ Unikorn, CoffFitnessUnicorn

Positive Change Award Winning Podcast, formerly Coffee Fitness Unicorn: Coffee Chats Podcast. New Name, Same Awesome Show: Coffee Fueled Stories.
Welcome to my Virtual Coffee Spot(c). I'm your pocket DJ and this podcast is where storytelling and coffee hang out. As a super-survivor I have turned my trauma and grief into a powerful, creative force for good. And I learned, it's never too late to start a podcast—at 51. This show is where I can share my stories and connect with you. Thank you for listening and sharing this journey with me.
Go Forth And Be Magical.

Mini-Monday Leftover Coffee

Mini-Monday Leftover Coffee

Leftover Coffee is a dangerous thing to say to coffee drinkers. It can spark a lively debate. This is my coffee confession, don't judge 0_0.
There is an unwritten rule: never toss out coffee in a cup on the counter or in the coffee pot. The coffee will be consumed!!
This episode explains why and how Leftover Coffee is valuable.

Grief is a Bitch

Grief is a Bitch

This is a special video episode centered on Grief. There is now wrong way to grieve, however, there are destructive ways to handle pain and sadness and there are useful and productive ways to work through the struggle.

This episode is raw and hope it helps others understand someone who has been through trauma. Please share this episode with someone you know who is or has suffered.

Thank you. Remember, be gentle as you never know what someone is going through.

Meet R. K. Higgins: Author of the anti-gravity racing series: Afterburn and Afterburn Blood Rush. By day he is an animal control officer, by night he practices the Tarantino writing method. We chat about diner food, burgers, milkshakes, and of course coffee. He has a great sense of humor and he shares a story about his cousins giving him coffee when he was 8 years old at his grandfather's funeral. Higgins is a fan of Philip K. Dick, a gamer, and when he procrastinates creates some great writer memes. Go give his Instagram page some attention: https://www.instagram.com/authorrkhiggins/?hl=en https://www.amazon.com/Afterburn-R-K-Higgins/dp/1775367223/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= http://rkhiggins.com

Coffee Fitness Unicorn intro

Coffee Fitness Unicorn intro

This is the old intro when the show was CFU: Coffee Chats Podcast.

Now the show is Coffee Fueled Stories and the intro is way better.

I think you'll agree. The production quality has gotten better as well as the show.

4th Season is kicking ass!!!
