Hey Party People!
 

Join me for the next episode where we share time and space with Chris!
 

"I have been an educator for over 30 years. In that time, I have taught psychology and related courses to a group of students who have continued to impress me. It has been an honor to work with students, faculty and staff, and not a day goes by that I don't wake up appreciative of the work I get to do. It's important and I am so thankful for the wonderful people I have met along the way." - Chris

In this episode, Chris's passion for his profession is evident as he shares his perspectives of teaching and learning and the value [and sustainability] of relationships built in the classroom and beyond. Ever the academic, Chris will give us plenty to ponder, especially for individuals identifying as "weird", "odd", or... a new-to-me-term, "neuroquirky."

Until then, stay curious, stay kind, and definitely stay weird!

Hey Party People! Let's Meet Maggie!

"I'm Maggie. I love my people and I love to be outside. I grew up in NJ and am a big sports fan, especially soccer. Traveling and new experiences fill my cup. I've moved around a bit and spend a lot of time visiting friends in varying states. I work as a PT Professor and Neuro PT and I love to get excited about the little things in life."
 

In this episode, Maggie - a physical therapist - and I, an occupational therapist - battle for the rehab therapy crown -- just kidding, but we do finally put the whole PT versus OT rumor to rest, once and for all. Listen and discover why I would totally classify Maggie as a people person -- she's her own little magical Universe, where the galaxies are her people and the planets are her little trinkets... and there's a goose in there, somewhere...

Hey Party People!

Join me for the next episode where we share time and space with Brandie!

Brandie is a 29 year old union sheet metal worker [how cool is that!?] and she's been in the union for 9 years. Brandie is an advocate for women who want to join the trades. Outside of work, Brandie loves rollerblading and naps on the couch. She'll tell you she's awful at softball but I'd say otherwise.
 

In this episode, Brandie teaches me a whole lot about working in the trades as a union sheet metal worker, including her role in creating the Western Mass Tradeswoman group. We'll share a handful of laughs on this episode, talking about sisterhood, friendship, and of course, what it means to be weird. And throughout the whole episode, I only break out into song once... and wow... it is good, haha!!

Hey Party People!

Join me for the next episode where we share time & space with Realtor Dawn Ezold -- er, I mean, Dawn Ezold.

Per Dawn, she has built a really awesome life for herself. She's fiercely loyal and always ready for fun and adventure. You can find her on a boat, a softball field, dancing at a concert, on a plane, in the stands of a Patriots game, and somehow managing to be a top-producing Realtor. She strives to always "try a little harder to be a little better" especially when it comes to whatever she can be to my friends, family, and her clients.
 

In this episode, Homegirl and hodophile Dawn tells us all about life as a realtor and world traveller, and the lessons learned from both along the way. Will collaboration with competition be what makes her weird? Or will it be befriending locals while solo traveling? Will it be be both? Will it be neither? Only one way to find out...
