BUCKLE UP! This episode is one to get your popcorn out for as M.E. takes us on a wild adventure of storytelling. From being adopted and finding her biological family later in life, celebrity encounters in NYC and finding real-life inspiration for her new book, “Reverse Ripples”. M.E.’s energy is totally infectious and had us enamored within minutes. A great chat for anyone looking for change in their life, permission to start a creative project or who simply wants to be entertained! Did we mention her father-in-law worked for Playboy? Or that she’s one-degree of separation from Kevin Bacon? Her life could be a movie and so could her new book! You’re gonna’ love this one.
