This Is Friendship.

Karli here! This is Part II of my conversation with Omaha native Margaret Van Winkle. We worked together years ago when she was just out of college, and now she’s a mom of two and has a custom cookie business. 

In this episode, Margaret shares her top cookie baking tips, what she is looking forward to the most this holiday season, and how friendship enhances her life.

If you’re in the Omaha area, message Margaret to get onto her calendar for your next special event. Her cookies are AMAZING! And tell her you listened to the episodes!

Karli here! This is Part II of my conversation with Phoenix restaurateur and overall inspiring woman, Valentina Huerta. I met her several years ago and I can talk to her all day about her life experiences. She’s one of those human beings who emanates good vibes and makes you feel like anything is possible. 

In this episode, Valentina shares why she started a second business in the middle of the pandemic, how she takes customers out of their comfort zones, and what friendship means to her. She also tells us about a movement created to support women-led food businesses in Arizona.

If you’re in the Phoenix area, I encourage you to make reservations for her restaurant, Nonna Urban Eatery, and visit her coffee + wine + provisions shop, Nomada. When you stop by, tell her you listened to the episodes!

Andi here! I had the most amazing opportunity to sit down with Jasmine Deane, an entrepreneur, who owns The Good Life Charcuterie. Listen along as we discuss all things events, trends, food (charcuterie spreads!), community, family, love. And, of course, friendship!  She will leave you inspired with all that is to come over the next few months and years in the event planning business - and how to make any occasion special through food and pairings. She even has a few pointers on how to make your up-and-coming wedding special, or your holiday gatherings special with the latest trends.

Hear a little about her journey (across the country!) and how she landed where she is, thriving with her charcuterie business.

If you are a foodie and love to share experiences with friends and family, this is the episode for you!

Karli here! Joining me on this episode are two of my favorite women - my daughters. We chat about their friendship experiences and I learn a thing or two along the way. 

As Millennial and Gen Z women, they deal with external factors that didn’t exist when I was their age. I expected more differences than similarities, but the themes of friendship are common across generations.

I confess to experiencing mixed emotions during our conversation, but I’m proud of my daughters for knowing who they are and their no BS attitudes. Being mom to these young women ROCKS!

Andi here!  And, I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with our special guest for episode 28, Lillian (Lily) Hocevar.  Not only is she a wonderful friend, but she is also incredibly well traveled and a travel designer and advisor by trade, who works with clients who travel all over the world. 

Pack your bags while your following along because the travel bug is going to set-in based on our conversation about trending destinations (from Dude Ranches to the Caribbean), luxury adventure travel to South America, African Safaris, and big trips that you should get on your list and start planning now.

We also dive into how travel has changed during the pandemic, traveling safely during this time and how the anticipation of travels leads to overall happiness.

If you'd like to reach out to Lily, here is her contact info!
