    Just Do it With Love with Mitchell Gerrard Johnson

    Mitchell Gerrard Johnson is a performer, stylist, and content creator turning nostalgic pop culture moments into viral, high-energy content—with glam, chaos, and a strong sense of humor. Mitchell and I connected through our mutual experience of being called up on stage with Hilary Duff to do her viral With Love dance.

You can follow Mitchell on instagram @mgjohns to see what iconic cultural moment he'll create next.     Follow Me!

    BIGHT with Maiara Walsh

    Maiara Walsh is a true multi-hyphenate creative; Brazilian American actress, director, writer, producer, and singer, her work spans film, television, music, and art. She has built a creative practice rooted in bold storytelling and artistic independence, most recently bringing her directorial debut feature film BIGHT, a psychological thriller with a distinct visual identity, from concept to screen. Known from her Disney channel days on Cory in the House to her work on Desperate Housewives and leads on hit Brazilian shows on Netflix, Maiara isn't interested in staying in a single lane. Whether on screen, behind the camera, or in the recording studio, Maiara brings a fearless authenticity to everything she creates. After my conversation with Maiara I felt so energized. We cover the nostalgia of the 90s, the way we combat our anxiety, and how beautiful it is to cultivate friendships with strong women in our 30s. You can watch BIGHT, starring Maiara Walsh out today on Apple + and Amazon.      Follow Me!

    It's A Wonderful Life with Steve Garraty

    Steve Garraty is the author of Greatfruit: How Cancer Led to Living a More Fruitful Life, a speaker, and a longtime business leader. Diagnosed with Hodgkin's as a teenager, his life was interrupted early by illness, uncertainty, and adversity that reshaped how he viewed growth, resilience, and what truly matters. That experience became the foundation for his mission to help others reframe perspective after life's toughest moments. Through honest storytelling and practical reflection, Steve helps readers find clarity in the wake of cancer, divorce, grief, job loss, and other defining disruptions. Drawing from his personal journey and decades in sales leadership, he emphasizes appreciation, gratitude, and paying it forward—while encouraging people to embrace a glass-half-full perspective in growing from their own challenges.     Follow Me!

    Hey Nash! Hey Nash! This is what dreams are made of

    My nephew Nash recently took a trip to the Long Island Childrens Musuem. He got to get a taste of what it was like to record a radio show, be a newscaster, and create core memories- quite literally. Nash was so excited to think he could listen to himself on the way to school instead of kidsbop. I wanted to share this with my listeners as I talk about Nash so often and he brings so much joy.
