  • Ep. 10 - GOING VIRAL - Valerie McSorley - The New (Virtual) Reality of Running a Business - The Hive
    New episode of "GOING VIRAL: Staying Sane, Healthy & Connected during the Coronavirus Outbreak of 2020" is here!
    **Please Note: The opinions expressed in this podcast are my own and my guest's own. If you are experiencing a true medical emergency or Covid-19 symptoms, please call 911.**
    -->I'm so excited to introduce my next guest, Valerie McSorley, Owner of The Hive, a brand new, unique event space located in Marshfield, MA and owner of Avant Garde Events in the Boston area for over 18 years. Valerie is an incredibly smart, passionate and talented entrepreneur and all around inspirational woman. Val is a real connector. She brings people together. Especially during this uncertain and difficult time, Val talks about keeping positive, connected and expressing our creativity.
    Here are FIVE takeaways from Valerie:
    1) Get up, take a shower and get dressed every day! Spritz on your favorite perfume, put on your lipstick and style your hair. You will feel much better!
    2) It's all about the People in your life, not things. Take time to Pause, Reflect and Reinvest in your loved ones. Just appreciate this time with your family or whomever you are quarantining with, and see this as a gift. This won't last forever, so cherish it NOW.
    3)Have Virtual Meetups every day! Do this through Zoom, Skype, FaceTime and Google Meet. It's free! (up to 30 minutes on Zoom).Virtual Happy Hours with your girlfriends! Virtual Family Dance Parties! Trivia Nights! Martini Mondays! Wine Wednesdays... Get creative and have fun!
    4)STAY HOME! The more you exposure yourself and others, the worse the spread of the deadly coronavirus will be. We have to be vigilant and really stay away...more than just 6 feet away...stay home, order online.Wash your hands! Wear a Mask and Gloves if and when you do go out. Limit your exposure. Please be safe!
    5) Use this time to teach your children much needed LIFE SKILLS! While we are focusing on homeschool/academics, but really, our kids need to learn how to do their laundry, run the dishwasher, clean out their closets, wash the dishes, rake the lawn, clip the hedges, and clean out the litter box! It will change the family dynamic and take the pressure off of you. Make a CHORE CHART and have them really help out with the family chores and see this as an "opportunity," not a "punishment."
    --> So take this opportunity to look for the silver lining in all of this TIME we have, and reconnect with our families in the "old school" and simple way.

  • Ep. 09 - GOING VIRAL- Hania Khuri-Trapper - Just Breathe, Keep Calm & Stay Positive Through Yoga
    DAY 3 of "GOING VIRAL: Staying Sane, Healthy & Connected during the Coronavirus Outbreak of 2020."
    **Please Note: The opinions expressed in this podcast are my own and my guest's own. If you are experiencing a true medical emergency or symptoms, please call 911.**
    -->I'm so excited to introduce my next guest, one of my best friends for nearly 40 years, Hania Khuri-Trapper! Hania is a certified Yoga Instructor and Teacher Trainer, Reiki Master and all around inspirational woman. Hania is a longtime childhood friend, devoted mom, outstanding graphic designer and a true inspiration to us all. Hania offers us 5 Helpful Tips for keeping safe and healthy...
    1) Be Present. Pause in this present moment and slow everything down. Be here, right now.
    2)Be Positive. Find Acceptance where we are, knowing we can't control what is happening. Find Gratitude and be grateful for the things you do have, not what you do not. Try to move away from Fear, Guilt and Anxiety...into a place of hope and positivity.
    3) Step away from the news. Don't obsessively read websites and go down the negativity "rabbit hole." Take a break.
    4)Stay Healthy by eating nutritious foods, drink water, exercise/workout or just take a nice walk. Do what you can to move your body in a even a little way.
    5) Rest your body and get much needed sleep. Sleep is one of the most important things you can do to restore and rest your body. So take a nap, snuggle up and relax.
    -->In addition, she suggests not to over-schedule our kids so much during this time. They spend all of their days at school, then soccer, dance, basketball, or any number of extracurricular activities...and we are all exhausted! So take this opportunity to look for the silver lining in all of this TIME we have, and reconnect with our families in the "old school" and simple way.

    -->A Big Thank You to Hania's husband, the incredibly talented, award-winning artist, Chris Trapper, for his song "Into the Bright Lights," which I played in the beginning of our interview. With over 10 solo albums and many more with his former band, The Push Stars. Chris will keep us all feeling good and connected with his deeply personal and emotional music.

  • Ep. 07 -GOING VIRAL - Mary Kelley, RN - Healthy Advice from a Registered Nurse
    Introducing "GOING VIRAL: Staying Sane, Healthy & Connected during the Coronavirus Outbreak of 2020." This daily podcast was born out of necessity as a way for us to stay connected during this unprecedented nationwide/global quarantine during the outbreak of COVID-19.
    **Please Note: The opinions expressed in this podcast are my own and my guest's own. If you are experiencing a true medical emergency or symptoms, please call 911.** (My apologies for the poor Skype recording! Working to fix this on the next call!)
    -->I'm pleased to introduce my first guest, Mary Hearn Kelley, RN, Cardiology Nurse at the world-renowned Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, MA, and Clinical Nursing Instructor at Boston College. Mary is a longtime friend, devoted mom, dedicated nurse and a true inspiration to us all. Mary breaks down the basics of keeping safe and healthy...we must Contain the Virus, so Please Stay Home! She talks about those most at risk, especially senior citizens and those with pre-existing conditions or are immuno-compromised. She mentioned her gratitude to those who are donating masks & gloves to nursing and hospital staff.
    -->Her advice for staying sane? Read a book, call a friend, FaceTime with your grandparents & relatives, limit the iPads & tv, and enjoy the outdoors (staying 6 ft away) but understand it’s 100% ok for kids to have screentime. During this time, we have to look for the silver lining in all of this, and how reconnecting with our families in the "old school" way is key.

  • Ep 05 - DJ Teenie Z - Finding your Passion, HipHop Beats - Hustle and Heart Podcast
    Hello lovely and amazing people...Episode 5 is here! My guest today is Christina AKA DJ Teenie Z, an amazing and strong woman I am happy to call my friend! In this episode, Teenie talks about finding her true passion to become a DJ...after having an "AHA moment" while visiting her brother in Brooklyn, and how she is building her DJ skill set and her business, mix by mix!
    We talk all about Music, from our earliest childhood memories in our parent's living room (The Beatles, classic rock, RnB), to our teenage angst years (Nirvana, REM, The Cure) and the joy of making and receiving our first ever Mixtapes. She's influenced by instrumental and experimental hiphop, like Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, The Roots, and J Dilla, to name a few. Teenie is someone who I can honestly say has a whole lot of hustle...and a big heart. She is smart, funny and not afraid to be herself, as she talks about her Greek heritage, growing up as a "restaurant kid" in her father's pizzeria (think '80s movie "Mystic Pizza,") and how those experiences helped shape who she is today. As always, we laugh a lot...about our misadventures on motorbikes in Santorini, did someone say "hernia?", banana nutella crepes, Prince tribute bands, old school '90s Rave Culture...and we get deep on being strong, independent women, the freedom of Riding Solo, and living our lives to the fullest.
    --> Contact DJ Teenie Z today to book her fan for your next event! She will bring the music and the good vibes!
