A Sip of Positivitea

Writer, music lover, and all-around great dude Dave Homes joins me to discuss the albums and movies he's been digging into lately, handy writing tips including getting over self-doubt and the experience of his big BTS piece recently, and yes, who would be on his own Coachella-like music festival lineup.

You may know Courtney from Season 7 of Below Deck on Bravo, and while we were sure to discuss our favorite reality TV shows, we also talked nature pictures, skincare, our quests to become friends with our mail deliverers and the goal of meeting a koala in Australia asap.

Brittany Spanos is a writer and host of the 500 Best Albums at Rolling Stone, so we had to discuss some very important topics including boybands and karaoke. We also talk celebrating wins in these crazy times, rewarding yourself for hard work, her current Seinfeld binge, and the underrated album she's loved this year.

Alex Scolari is my favorite Obé fitness instructor who radiates positivity, even when her cardio boxing classes are kicking my butt. We discuss all of life's most important things including fitness, donuts and 50 Cent songs.

Stacy Igel, founder and creative director of the Boy Meets Girl fashion line, explains how she pivoted to making masks this year, the important causes her athleisure wear has helped and partnered with, and how she finds the creativity and motivation to work during such crazy times.

This week I'm joined by Case Kenny. He's the host of the New Mindset, Who Dis? podcast, and we discuss his excellent Instagram account, the lucky accident that brought mindfulness and music together for him, the joys of journaling, and how he remains such a glass-half-full guy.

Bravo royalty Kate Chastain talks about the treat she bought herself this year, her perfect tactic for online trolls, the brilliant way she recently paid it forward, her newfound love for FaceTime and why screenshots are the ultimate digital diary.

Dancer, choreographer, and host of the Words That Move Me podcast, Dana Wilson discusses the new things she's learning this year, how she views her former and future selves, and reflects on a fun *NSYNC memory.

Actress Tanisha Long takes us inside her glorious breakfast on the beach routine and the other delicious meals she's treated herself to this year and the way she's navigated news and social media. She also reveals the TV shows she let herself get sucked into and how it feels to get back to her dream job, the series Bigger on BET+.

In the very first episode of A Sip of Positivitea, Lea welcomes her friend and guest Danielle Fishel to talk about the fun and fulfilling ways she's navigated this year so far.

A Sip of Positivitea is the podcast that aims to perk you up and help us all look on the bright side. Host Lea Palmieri will be joined by guests that make her happy to discuss the things that bring us joy and provide a welcome distraction from the world. When you need something nice for your ears and your heart, take a deep breath and enjoy A Sip of Positivitea.
