Polk County Live

In the penultimate edition of Listen to Lauriane, she reminds us to have a "growth mindset" when it comes to accomplishing what you set out to accomplish.

We spoke with Jody Streussnig, one of the Program Managers with the Alzheimer's Association, Florida Gulf Coast Chapter, about the difficulties that can arise as a caregiver for a loved one with Alzheimer's, especially during the holiday season. Jody shares some tips on how to make it through the holidays despite the added stress.

For you monthly Mental Health Check-Up, we've teamed up with the Peace River Center. Today we talked with the Director of Crisis Response Services, Kirk Fasshauer. Kirk gives us tips on how to make it through the holiday season, a typically very stressful time of the year. 

We welcomed Brenna Stross to Polk County Live Unplugged this week! She's working on an album and played for us one of the songs that will be on that. Check out a video of "Dance With the Devil" on our Facebook page. You can hear our entire chat with Brenna right here. #supportlocalmusic 

I love you. It's nice to hear. To be in love with another and have them love you back is one of the highlights of human existence. When it happens, we're excited, but it takes a little work to keep it. Listen to Lauriane talk about what she thinks will help you not lose the love game.

Got some more baked goodies from Polk County Live baker Pam!! I feel like they qualify as holiday cookies, thus the title of this post..
Check out our taste-test and help us understand why Cello was afraid to try it.

Jon Fedkiew debuted today as the Polk County Live Theatre Guy. Not only will he look at the movies and let us know what's good or not at a cinema near you, but he also will keep us up-to-date on live and local theatre productions. Welcome Jon!!
