    The Sitdown with Nicole Greco-Peepas: Fitness, Food & Feeling Strong After 40

    What does it really mean to get stronger, take care of yourself and feel good in your body as you get older? In this episode of the Mid-Life Mafia Podcast, Nicole Greco-Peepas joins the conversation to talk about fitness, food, self-love and finding the motivation to take care of yourself in your 40s and 50s. Nicole shares how her journey into fitness began in an unexpected way. After moving to Greece because of her boyfriend, who later became her husband, she didn't have working papers, so she signed up for karate. That eventually led to boxing and a much bigger role for fitness in her life. She talks about losing pregnancy weight, strength training for women and why looking after your fitness isn't just about appearance. It's about recognizing that you're worth the effort and giving yourself the opportunity to live a better quality of life. The conversation also gets practical, covering food, meal prepping, accountability and how much you actually need to eat. Nicole shares what she eats, how she prepares food and what she looks for when shopping. This is a conversation about making fitness part of your life — and doing it for yourself.

    The Sitdown with Maria Venuto

    Have you ever discovered that the thing you loved as a child or teenager was actually something you were meant to come back to? Maria Venuto joins us to talk about music, family, finding her way back to singing, and what she hopes to do next. Maria comes from a musical family, and although she didn't want to sing as much as a teenager, seeing her father perform later on made her realize just how much she wanted to get back to music. She also shares how being multilingual has allowed her to sing in different languages, including Spanish and Greek, and how her wide-ranging music taste has influenced her. We also have some fun with singing on the podcast, Maria's ability to switch between accents, and her experiences trying out for American Idol. She talks about the singers who inspire her, her plans for more original music and performances, and the very relatable realities of perimenopause — including waking up sweaty and feeling like you don't quite feel like yourself. In this episode: Growing up in a musical family and discovering her love of singingSinging in multiple languagesHer knack for slipping between different accentsWhat happened when Maria took a shot at American IdolThe realities of navigating perimenopauseThe foods and restaurants Maria can't get enough of If you enjoyed this episode, make sure to like, subscribe and share it with someone who loves music, family stories and honest midlife conversations!

    The Sitdown w/ Andrea AKA: Andrea Cannoli

    What started as a dream of opening a storefront took an unexpected turn when Covid changed the plans and led Andrea to build a community online around something she loves: food, family, and tradition. In this episode of the Mid-Life Mafia Podcast, Andrea shares the story behind her cannoli journey, her love of Italian cooking, and how social media has opened the door to a community that sends her plenty of love — much of it directed at the real star of the show, her dad! But there’s much more to Andrea than cannoli and cookbooks. She’s also a nurse who has taken part in medical missions, including time helping people in Africa and Panama. We talk about some of those experiences, the people she’s met, and how they have shaped her perspective. And then there’s Christmas — Italian-style. We get into the cooking, the incredible amount of food, the leftovers, the family time, and the memories that come with gathering around the table. For Andrea, food is about much more than recipes. It’s about holding onto childhood memories, creating new ones, and leaving something meaningful behind for the next generation. We also take a trip down memory lane through music and the songs that can instantly transport us back to another time. At the heart of it all is gratitude — for family, for the support she has received, and for the opportunity to live the life she’s dreamed of. In this episode: How Andrea became an online creatorThe love from online followersAndrea’s career as a nurseThe story of cannoli and how Italians made themThe magic — and overload — of Italian Christmas cookingThe importance of family supportWhat it means to live the dream while creating a legacy for the future If you enjoyed this episode, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share it with someone who’d love a good story about family, memories, and living life to the fullest!

In this episode, we sit down with Alexia, the creator behind U Had Me at Kitchen, to hear the story of how a career that began with music and rapping at just 14 eventually led her into the world of food, television, and cooking competitions. Alexia shares how she got signed by a record label, why cooking eventually became her creative outlet, and how sharing her everyday recipes on Facebook grew into something much bigger. We also hear about her experiences on Hell's Kitchen, The Rhode Show, and the Food Network, and what it was like stepping onto the set of a major cooking show. Family has played a huge role throughout Alexia's journey. She talks about the unwavering support of her parents, what she's like as a mom, and how she turned her friendships with other school moms into an unexpected comedy rap called "Girls on the Bus"—complete with choreography and a live performance. We also dive into her experience competing on 100 Cooks, where she made it into the Top 10 and found herself sharing the stage with major culinary personalities. Her approach? Staying true to the rustic Italian-American food she grew up loving. Through it all, Alexia has kept one simple philosophy at the heart of what she does: share happiness with the world.
