Beth Wehr (that's DR. Beth Wehr to you) joins me this week and she is the SWEETEST HUMAN ALIVE!  Beth and I were in the same sorority at Lynchburg College and were in the same sorority family.  She tells us all about her experience with getting the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and how she has handled working with the public during a pandemic.  Beth also shares her passion for physical therapy, specifically in the pelvic floor specialty.  This episode is VERY educational, fun, and just an all-around good time!

The beautiful and wonderful Sam Stone joins Melanie and I this week!  It's also the first episode with our new podcast set up with mics and an audio interface - we're professionals now!!! Sam helped really get the podcast off the ground by creating the graphic and (coming soon) a logo and merchandise!  Sam is our first Pisces woman on the show and she is a water sign through and through.  We dive into our Disney experiences, how Sam has worked on her mental health through therapy and video gaming, and how we feel about clothes for dogs.  Sam is an incredibly kind and warm person, and I hope you enjoy our conversation!

The man, the myth, the legend - Jeff Reisdorf - joins us this week for a wonderfully informative and riveting conversation that goes from 0 to 60 mph reaaaaaaallllll quick.  Jeff is the THIRD Aquarius to join us on the podcast, so there is a pattern occurring in my friendships apparently!  Jeff, also self-appointed Great Diffuser, is arguably one of the biggest fans of the Star Wars universe, so that topic comes up quite a bit over our conversation.  We also talk about new years resolutions, what his favorite part is about working in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, and one of his most stressful yet comical work stories.  I hope you enjoy!

The original Pool Therapy Gang comes back for a special, limited-edition 2020 year end wrap up episode!  Catie, Brittney, Melanie, and I discuss some of the weirdest things, headlines, and events of the year that scream "that's SO 2020!"  Highlights include stars going missing, Taco Bell getting rid of potatoes, and how OnlyFans gave power back to the creators.  BIG thanks to everyone who supported my dream of starting a podcast this year.  I can't wait to bring you even more content next year!

Welcome to a special holiday themed episode of #TFPT!  The Johnsons come together yet again to talk about the best and worst Christmas movies, favorite holiday traditions, and the obsession with eggnog.  We also take a quiz to find out how well we know famous Christmas movie quotes.  Follow along with us and let us know how well you do on the quiz!  AND your opinions on White Christmas!

The queen herself Dana Kyro joins me this week and it was so amazing to have a chat with her!  Dana was my favorite leader I worked with at Disney and someone I look to for professional and personal advice on the regular.  We talk about our continued love for Tik Tok and what the most overrated Christmas movie and song is.  Dana and I dive into some deep-end topics, like spirituality and meditation, and how both have helped us through the global and political turmoil this year.  She answers several Pool Peep questions like what the best free restaurant bread is and tells us about how she met her husband, Trevor!  I hope you enjoy this episode!  What do you think is the most overrated Christmas song and/or movie?

Coleen Read joins us this week and what a treat it is!  Coleen and I have been friends since the Disney College Program and it was so much fun to have her on the pod.  We discuss Coleen's Aquarian traits and how she is used to #BigVirgoEnergy because her brother and I share the same birthday!  Coleen shares her journey with therapy when she was younger and how she uses Fortnite as a good release for stress and anxiety.  We also ask Coleen what the best cheesy Christmas movie is and she has some OPINIONS!  I hope you enjoy this episode - it's one I am very proud of and hope you are too!

Robert Pearson, a coworker and good friend of Melanie and I, joins us this week!  Robert is originally from Hawaii and gives us a little island history lesson and tells us what it was like growing up there.  Robert also tells us about his favorite things and learns more about his zodiac sign.  He talks all about how he discovered meditation and walking for stress relief and how he tries to be mindful in the midst of the chaos.  Robert argues who the best superhero is, even going so far as to claim that The Dark Knight is his favorite movie of all time!

Paige Johnson, an honorary member of the Florida Johnson's household, joins us this week as our guest!  Paige and I worked together at Disney for almost a year and have remained close friends ever since.  Paige chats with Melanie and I about her mental health journey - both in seeking professional help from a therapist and using her art as a release.  We also tell you all about our favorite Spaceship Earth photo edit pictures, the BEST form of potato, and some of Paige's favorite Disney things!
