    Identity Theft

    Happy New Year! I didn't want to spend my first Monday of the year trying to protect my identity from being stolen but that is exactly what I did. It took about two hours of time and energy and the stress of the situation definitely shortened my life expectancy but I think I succeeded in protecting myself. I'll let you know for sure in 30 days.  Its a new year of pods! Make sure you subscribe and leave a 5 star review. If I missed a step in fraud prevention please let me know! Send me an email to 5moreminutesWIVK@gmail.com  Cheers to 2026!  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    The Knoxville Nativity Pageant

    For the last 57 years people from all walks of life in Knoxville, TN come together to bring the story of the birth of Jesus Christ to life. The cast is made up of 120 volunteers, the choir is 150 voices strong and the animals add the "cherry on top" to the dramatic recreation of the Christmas story.  How did the Nativity Pageant become a thing in Knoxville? What does it take to make this event not only happen but make sure it is free to all who want to see it? I'm so glad you asked. This pod is all about the labor of love for this special Knoxville holiday tradition.  For more information and show times please visit: www.knoxvillenativity.com Thanks for listening to the pod and thank you to Melanie and Jenn for coming in studio and chatting with me.

    Looking at the Future

    Technology is getting weirder and weirder. In the past couple of months I have had two encounters with the Meta glasses. In one instance I had a very negative emotional reaction to seeing them and in the other I had no emotional reaction at all. So what does it mean?  Thanks for listening to the pod! Hit that subscribe button and if you are feeling generous leave me a 5 star review. They are much appreciated. I would LOVE your feedback on this one. Have you had a conversation with anyone while wearing the glasses yourself or talking to someone with the glasses on? I want to know your thoughts.

    Heart Attack and Hope

    Back in June there was story on the local news about Rodney Lee. He had a heart attack while out on a local Knoxville nature trail. He encountered a Good Samaritan, Zach during his ordeal and Zach was able to assist Rodney until EMTs arrived. After his hospital stay, Rodney was on a mission to thank Zach. This is Rodney's story.  Thank you Rodney for your candid conversation. I have been fascinated by yourstory since first reading about it.  If you like the pod and have any feedback, you are always welcome to send me an email to 5moreminutesWIVK@gmail.com Hit the subscribe button and leave a 5 star review!    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    Statemint West Knox Pod

    I have a guest today! Maddie Payne owns Statemint West Knoxville, a franchise of the Statemint Universe that started here in Knoxville. (It's thrifting on steroids) Maddie tells me all about being a female entrepreneur, why she's in the consignment business and other fun stuff. We also bonded over not knowing what to wear after having kids (Seriously a bigger deal than I ever could have imagined). Statemint West Knoxville is open for business July 31- Aug 3, 2025 at the Rothchild Conference Center at 8807 Kingston Pike.  Here's a link for more information: DETAILS HERE CLICK ME And make sure you follow Maddie on the gram (We are women who support women here!) @statemint_westknoxville Happy Shopping.
