  • Stay Sun Safe | Kristine & Addy Thompson Create Fashionable Sun Protection

    Are you tired of dressing in sun protective clothing that has no fashion sense? On today's podcast, Kristine & Addy Thompson, mother and daughter team, share their journey to creating a fashion brand, NINI, that puts the cute and stylish into sun protective clothing. Plus, they share their first venture into entrepreneurship for the duo.

    BACK STORY

    Kristine and Addison, a dynamic mother-daughter duo whose passion for an active lifestyle under the sun led to the creation of a revolutionary fashion brand. Nestled in the heart of Phoenix, Arizona, Kristine and Addison's journey began with a shared love for outdoor activities – whether it was engaging in spirited games of pickleball, strolling through the charming streets of Paris, or simply savoring a cocktail on their favorite patio.

    In their pursuit of the perfect ensemble for sun-soaked adventures with friends, Kristine and Addison encountered a gap in the market. Despite the abundance of options, none quite met their criteria for a blend of fashion, comfort, and sun protection. Undeterred by the lack of suitable choices, the duo embarked on a mission to create Nini, a brand committed to designing the ideal pieces they themselves desired.

  • Live Beautifully in 2025 | Renee Dee Shares Six Elements for Success in the New Year

    Do you want to dial up your success in the new year? Publisher Renee Dee shares her annual chat on how to make the year ahead the best yet with her Live Beautifully wheel and how she uses it to create results for herself.

    On today's podcast, Renee leads the conversation in a solocast.

    BACK STORY

    Always interested in personal development, Renee Dee got her coaching certification in 2010 to help bring out the best in others and to keep her eye on bringing out the best in herself…an ongoing journey. In her coaching training, she learned about the life wheel, which is a coaching tool designed to measure where you are and where you want to go in your life, usually with eight segments of what looks like an evenly sliced graphic pizza.

    As she's evolved, it occurred to her that there are six segments that matter most, and she's reimagined the traditional wheel in her own way to inspire Living Beautifully.

    On today's podcast, she talks about how she uses the wheel and provides tips on how you can use it to create the new year that you want.
