We say it, we mean it, we live it. Scottsdale is great! But this we go a little outside our boarders and welcome Lexy from PHX Finds to the table. We talk about her love for the Valley and tells us a little secret about PHX Finds. Alicia also gets to sit down with Dr. Rob of AZ Center for Laser Dentistry. We get a little insight into Dr. Rob outside of the office and talk insurance plans. Trust me, you'll learn a thing to two from him.

Scottsdale is known for so many beautiful things. The trails, mountains, cars and even the people who live here. So when I found Michelle from Scottsdale_AF online, I had to learn more about her apparel line and what the AF actually stands for. You'll be reaching out for your own garments after listening to this week's episode.

If you're a foodie like me, it can be hard to make a decision when it's time to go out. But if you're looking for the perfect spot to work and eat, then Schmooze in Old Town is the place for you. This little hideout has so many hidden gems inside. This week we sit down with one of those gems, Chef Tony Hamati. We also have Veronica Leon of Macaroni Kid telling us what fun things to do this month.

This great city we call home turns 70 this month! I love learning about the history of where I live. That's why I called on my friend, Ben Cruz. My local historian who knows so much about Scottsdale. I'm also excited to check in with Darren Tackett of Re/Max fine properties. We talk Suns, the market and summertime fun.

I love a good family story and this dynamic father/son duo is a great story of admiration, love and support for one another. Meet the Dr. DiVito's dentist team. They are more than coworkers, they really are a family based business.

The Saguaro cactus is probably the most famous thing when it comes to desert life. But the desert beauty really is endless. This week, Alicia speaks to Dir. of Horticulture at the Desert Botanical Garden, Tina Wilson. Tina and Alicia talk about ways to save this place we call home and their favorite cacti.

We live in an active community where hiking, biking and working out are everyday activities. Add in our beautiful desert scenery and next thing we know, our skin is dry, dehydrated and thirsty for some extra nourishment. That's where Josh Norris and Regenerate IV Therapy come to the rescue. Alicia talks to us about her own experience with them and we could all use an IV today.

As we wrap up Mental Health Awareness month, we dedicate this week's episode to all those who suffer. You are not alone and there are plenty of ways out there to get help. This week Alicia talks to Iraq Veteran Matthew MacLeod about his PTSD and mental health struggles. We all should lend out a hand to our neighbors in time of need. That's what makes this community so amazing.

Resorts are a big part of the Scottsdale lifestyle. It's what attracts patrons from all over the country. One of the most popular ones being the Fairmont Princess, in North Scottsdale. Alicia speaks with Fairmont GM Jack Miller on how he re-crowned the Princess and grew it to what she is today. We also dive into his tenure in the hotel business and why he calls Scottsdale home. Jeremy Mueller is at the table bringing out all the laughs when it comes to his good friend, Jack Miller.

As a mom of two, Alicia is always looking for fun things to do with the kids. The infamous "I'm bored" is enough for any parent to get annoyed. That's why we should all rely on Veronica Leon of Macaroni Kid. Thanks to her, there's no more work in the guessing game of "what to do." Veronica joins Alicia at the table to talk all things family fun in Scottsdale.
