After a six-month hiatus, Fries & A Glass of Wine returns with a deeply personal and reflective conversation.

Mel sits down with returning guest Terry Williams to talk about what happens when life forces you to slow down. Over fries and wine, they explore career pivots, grief, nervous system regulation, and the quiet signals life sends when it’s time for change.

Mel shares the evolution of Evergreen and her unexpected shift toward personal styling and helping people show up as their most authentic selves. Terry opens up about closing his gyms, stepping into executive coaching, and writing his new book Life in Rhythm—a philosophy about balancing ambition with rest and learning to move with life instead of against it.

Together they unpack:

• Why burnout often comes from ignoring life’s “yellow lights”

• The role of play, creativity, and stillness in healing

• Navigating imposter syndrome when you pivot careers

• How pain can become the root of purpose

• What it really means to stay “evergreen” through life’s seasons

This episode is about transition, resilience, and learning to listen when life asks you to move differently.

Grab a glass of wine, a plate of fries, and settle in.
