Brenda triggers my deep feelings of inadequacy. And I lash back by ridiculing her taste in men. Okay, maybe it was not quite as dramatic as that, but you must admit that you are intrigued enough to press play.

I used to think that Andy was a nice guy. Then I learned that he locked his kids out of the house! Shocked as I was? Then I guess you will just need to listen to the whole episode for the details.

Whatever happened to Eve? Well you will just need to listen to find out. Spoiler alert; she is doing good.

Everyone has a story to share, and sharing can make us stronger.

Does that sound like a Nike ad or an inspirational poster with ducklings and puppies?

When can we get your story out there?

Talking with Kathy is a little bit like playing pinball when the two bonus balls drop. We covered a lot of ground and she painted a lot of ceilings. When can we talk to you?

Leslie overcomes her technophobe ways to describe her journey as another link in her family's saga. Feel the terror in my voice when I realize she doesn't watch TV. We are just genes overlaid with experiences, but it is the stories that we hear and tell that connect us and define who we are.

Erika and I talk about walking away and the perfect cocktail. In my search for a side hustle, she crossed dog courier off the list. Every family has its own challenges, and this conversation is a good reminder to make your exits gracefully.

Joe Imherr tells about his love, basketball and dog life. I think they all bled together, but I was too busy eating Twinkies to notice.

Everyone has a story and while there are some nibbles, nothing is on the calendar. So please reach out!

We talk creativity, the good life, and wash sales. Diana has pivoted her way through different roles as she navigates through this life. And listen to her voice here too!

Mindy has touched more animals in more places, lived in more countries and more houses, and celebrated more holidays than the average bear.

Equipment issues allowed my inner David Sedaris to vocalize too.

At this point the story cupboard is bare. Don't let a bad podcast go to waste, call in with your story. Otherwise I am taking this site down next month.

Shauna and I commiserate over home, agency, the seven deadly sins and Gilligan's Island. We made a lot of connections, so can we talk to you?
