In the Summertime
Have you ever been 'Church Shopping'? In this episode we discuss Jenn's current quest to find a new faith home base. It's also the beginning of Summer, and we talk about the mainstream need to, as John Mellencamp so famously sang, "vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico".

We've included a beautiful performance of "Summertime" by George Gershwin from the 1935 Opera, Porgy and Bess, to enjoy and inspire you to make meaningful plans for your summer, home or away.
Summertime, an' the livin' is easy
Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high.
Oh, yo' daddy's rich and yo' ma is good-lookin'
So hush, little baby, don' you cry.
One of these mornin's you goin' to rise up singin'
Then you'll spread yo' wings an' you'll take the sky.
But till that mornin', there's a nothin' can harm you
With Daddy an' Mammy standin' by.

Jenn’s on the road in this episode, literally, as she podcasts from an Uber ride with friends and fellow Wounded Warrior Project speakers Mary Tallouzi and Cindy Parson. Along with special guest (and our Uber driver) Tyler, the conversation is casual, upbeat and fun as we discuss rating drivers (and passengers), cannabis, and what characteristic we find attractive in men.

Mindset Reset
In this episode, we revisit our I WAS NICE ONCE episode with 'niceness' data. Mar and Jenn also share their Easter epiphany, and how a holiday or special event can inspire a mindset-reset. When the stone is moved, you have a chance at a new life. But don't worry: we aren't making plans to be so nice that we get run over, because you gotta be cruel to be kind (sometimes).
This episode was recorded on #WorldBookDay - here are links if you'd like to read Mar and Jenn's books.

Our First 3-way is With a Vegas Showgirl
This week we interview Michelle Bassett, of Las Vegas, Nevada. Michelle is a two-time cancer survivor, and Elizabeth Dole Foundation fellow for the state of Nevada. We’re excited to talk to her about her life after cancer, what she’s doing for other caregivers and veterans families, and ask her a few fun things about Vegas along with some travel tips and don’ts. We’re drinking coffee of course, and talking about what it means to be an advocate, what it means to show story, and how anyone really can encourage others. We hope you’ll join us.
