Have you ever been 'Church Shopping'? In this episode we discuss Jenn's current quest to find a new faith home base. It's also the beginning of Summer, and we talk about the mainstream need to, as John Mellencamp so famously sang, "vacation down at the Gulf of Mexico".

We've included a beautiful performance of "Summertime" by George Gershwin from the 1935 Opera, Porgy and Bess, to enjoy and inspire you to make meaningful plans for your summer, home or away.

Summertime, an' the livin' is easy

Fish are jumpin' an' the cotton is high.

Oh, yo' daddy's rich and yo' ma is good-lookin'

So hush, little baby, don' you cry.

One of these mornin's you goin' to rise up singin'

Then you'll spread yo' wings an' you'll take the sky.

But till that mornin', there's a nothin' can harm you

With Daddy an' Mammy standin' by.

Jenn and Mar discuss dealing with “all the things” that life throws our way.

Jenn and Mar check in while traveling through two separate airports as a whirlwind summer continues.

Jenn’s on the road in this episode, literally, as she podcasts from an Uber ride with friends and fellow Wounded Warrior Project speakers Mary Tallouzi and Cindy Parson. Along with special guest (and our Uber driver) Tyler, the conversation is casual, upbeat and fun as we discuss rating drivers (and passengers), cannabis, and what characteristic we find attractive in men.

It’s NATIONAL ICE CREAM day so Jenn and Mar hit the road to enjoy their favorite treat with guests in tow. Learn the history of National Ice Cream Day, who may have invented ice cream, and even learn how Mar makes ice cream at home!! We also learn that Jenn is allergic to clowns, that Tom Carvell was a genius, and more when we discuss #alltheicecream. Grab a scoop and join us!

In this episode, we revisit our I WAS NICE ONCE episode with 'niceness' data. Mar and Jenn also share their Easter epiphany, and how a holiday or special event can inspire a mindset-reset. When the stone is moved, you have a chance at a new life. But don't worry: we aren't making plans to be so nice that we get run over, because you gotta be cruel to be kind (sometimes).

This episode was recorded on #WorldBookDay - here are links  if you'd like to read Mar and Jenn's books.
