Quick Service Ideas (0:04:33)

 

The holidays are a time of selflessness and giving. But then once New Year roles around, we too easily slip back into the hustle and bustle of our own lives. While we all are a little busier after the holiday season, people need service every time of year. Today we’re welcoming Michelle McCollough on the show to talk to us about ways we can serve in 2021. She’ll also be telling us how we can get our kids involved in the activity and help them understand why it’s so important. Michelle is a speaker and CEO of DreamBoard Media.

It’s a new year and we all know what that means—out with the old and in with the new! And we think we’re all more than ready to toss 2020 right out the door.

And what can we expect in terms of comfort, color, and entertainment from this year’s interior design? Lucky for us, friend of the show Carrie Ann Rhodes is here to give us a sneak peek into this year’s interior design trends and what we can expect to see in our homes in 2021.

 

 

 

Winning the Lottery (0:56:35)

 

We’ve all heard the age old phrase: “Money can’t solve your problems.” But...it can take care of those care payments, medical bills, and the vacation you wanted to take... It seems like money can actually solve a lot of problems. This is why Americans spend about 71 billion dollars on lottery tickets every year—despite their odds of winning being worse than their odds of getting attacked by a bear. Nevertheless, someone has to win right? And for those winners, does all that money really solve their problems? Here to share his insight with us is financial advisor to the suddenly rich, Robert Pagliarini.

 

 

Holistic Healing (1:14:59)

 

Our next guest, Veronica Villanueva, learned the true meaning of taking matters into her own hands when she was diagnosed with incurable stage IV lung cancer. Being told she only had six months to live, she developed her own treatment plan which combined traditional western treatment, holistic lifestyle changes, and alternative treatments. After achieving what doctors had told her was impossible, she beat cancer. Now she wishes to help others take back control of their lives no matter what type of battle they’re facing. Veronica is now here with us to discuss her incredible journey and what she has learned.
