Who: Toni Tennille - Singer, Songwriter, Author of Toni Tennille: A Memoir

What We Talked About: Her life-long journey from being raised in the segregated south to the rise of the pop duo, The Captain and Tennille, to the joyful choice to end a 39-year marriage. This is the story of courage and a willingness to choose joy even when it won’t please others around you.

Why I Like Toni: She’s thoughtful. It’s obvious that she cares about people and wants to give her all. She’s unassuming. She makes inspiring choices and gives a voice to those who would like to make those same choices. She is brave and was able to step out into her own at a time of life when most would have settled. She’s an example for us all.

Great Line: You will never be able to please everyone.

Who: Patty Kogutek - Bestselling Author of A Change of Habit: 7 Secrets to Guilt-Free Living

What We Talked About: It’s Throwback Thursday! Listen to this classic interview where I talked to Patty Kogutek about how to live without guilt. Patty, a former nun, was a self-professed guilt-sponge who one day shed her habit and eventually also shed her habit of feeling guilty. If you want to learn her secrets to guilt-free living, then this is the episode for you.

Why I Like Patty: A former nun who transformed herself from Sister Mary Kateri to Sister Mary Vodka? What’s not to love? Patty is self-aware and culturally aware and full of observations about how we’re affected by the world around us and more importantly, how we can rise above our cultural training.

Great Line: You have to learn to trust your own intuition and what’s going on inside of you instead of looking for approval and what other people want of you.
