I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Jennifer Demel, co-owner of Thirty Eight & Vine, to discuss the opening their boutique wine bar shortly before a national pandemic, keeping their business afloat, and what the future looks like amid so much uncertainty. Just before Christmas in 2019, Thirty Eight & Vine opened their doors, bringing a new, approachable wine experience to Fort Worth. Due to Covid-19, they've been forced to close the doors of Thirty Eight & Vine for wine-in and are operating through curbside and delivery only. Listen in on how Jennifer has lobbied to keep the bar industry in business and advocating for small businesses everywhere!

This week I am so excited to sit down and chat with the incredibly talented AlanaKay Latiolais! What started as a do it yourself project in her driveway unfolded into an incredible business of art, fashion and home accessories. AlanaKay has always cultivated color into every part of her life, never content to blend into a crowd and determined to leave the world brighter than she found it. She believes the richness of tones can change a mood, spark joy, and evoke connection. AlanaKay is a resin artist, designer and color evangelist. Every signature AlanaKay piece is transformed from an original painting into high-end wearable art and home decor. She lives life boldly and I'm so excited to show you a glimpse into her world, it's a colorful one!

A tumultuous childhood that took an unexpected turn to unveil his incredible talent and now pro athlete and Olympic hopeful! Bryce Robinson didn’t take his athleticism and running seriously until his senior year in high school. When offered a scholarship from The University of Tulsa he jumped at the chance and explains how good it felt to just be wanted. His college career was filled with unexpected wins and now an Olympic hopeful for USA Track Team. Ups and downs of childhood inconsistency leads this fabulous young man to my path. I am blessed to know Bryce and consider him now a member of my tribe.

Neuroscientist, TEDx Speaker and Founder of The Grateful Brain, Staci Danford joins me this week. Staci, a gratitude expert, helps people see their own “FABULOUS” by teaching simple brain tips to increase the chemicals your brain makes to get that to happen!

Staci is a one of a kind mix of joy and neuroscience who has become the brainologist behind gratitude bridging the gap between joy and science. She loves making science simple and teaching people how the practice of genuine gratitude is like a magical “thank you” for the brain.

This week I have a heart to heart with three college seniors to discuss how Covid-19 has impacted college life. Virtual/ online classes, campus life, student internships, study abroad and sorority recruitment are forever changed. Are students afraid and if so, what are their fears? Contracting, spreading, social, academics, careers and relationships are all topics we discuss and there are so many opinions on each. Thank you, Vivian, Marissa and Kennedy, for your insight!

This week I have a candid conversation with two elementary school moms, Charity Aughinbaugh and Catherine Crudup, that discuss the choice of returning children back to school safely. Our school system is about more than educating children. School provides social, emotional, and physical development. It is a safe haven for some that is absolutely essential for providing safety and security. An enormous number of children depend on free and reduced meals and thousands of homeless children whose whereabouts are monitored only through our school systems.
