What happens when you ask a world traveler, a life-coach, a one-woman-show-stopper and (finally) sober woman from the South what she thinks about life? You get “Now That You Ask.” A podcast that looks at topics that range from death to desire, and from wondrous to downright whacky. Akasha Halsey is a woman who after seventy-five years on this planet, is ready to have her say! The podcasts are short (the time it takes to down a cup of coffee) and while they will often make you smile, they will always make you think.

    143. I'm a Quitter

    I am a quitter. I never thought I would write those words but I find myself "quitting" things like being a strict follower of commitments and instead allowing myself the freedom to turn away from things that don't resonate with me. In this episode, I share experiences from my past, and my thoughts on the importance of honoring my inner voice and prioritizing personal well-being.

    142. Bossy Produce

    142. Bossy Produce

    I have a long-standing tradition of visiting the farmer's market, where I support hardworking farmers and enjoy the quality of their just-picked fruits and vegetables. There's Eddie and his exceptional fruit selection and then there's the market's corn booth, where the sweet corn reminds me of Alabama's produce. But I especially love "bossy produce" that captivates me with its flavors and insistence on being noticed.
