TrailMix

What is Jody’s obsession with popcorn? And we know what’s to love about chocolate! Today on TrailMix, we decided that we would share our backstories about our love of all things popcorn and chocolate. We even share some popcorn/chocolate mash-ups that might be a new twist for you. You don’t want to miss this sweet and salty pleasure and the “kernels” along the way!

This podcast is dedicated to Elvis and all of us who are searching for love. Mary and Jody heard from many of their podcast friends that they needed more on relationships. Using Elvis as the backdrop we will explore the, “gravel road” that Elvis so passionately sings about. And who knows, you might even pick up a few Elvis fun facts along the way.

"Everything we needed to know we learned from sports" - there really is something to be said for that statement. It doesn’t matter if you like to watch sports, participate in sports or celebrate a good sports story; there is a lot to be learned. How you win, how you lose, how you practice and prepare are just some of the things we have learned. Give a listen and you might agree that cheering on our favorite team is more than just a passion!

Happy Mother’s Day to all Mom’s out there and no matter if you are a Mom or not, you have a Mom, so this podcast applies to you! Mary and Jody are sharing what they learned from their Moms and how those impressions have left their mark. They thought it would be fun to give a shout out as we celebrate Mothers’ Day!

 Is it finally time to exhale? Seems like there are growing signs of hope on the horizon! After a year of lockdowns, isolation, and too many decisions about what really is safe, there’s stuff we can’t wait to do. It’s so fun to think about life again and doing what we really love. Join us as we sort through these moments of anticipation and discuss the fruits, sweets and nuts of the TrailMix of life. Podcast Friends, we can’t wait!

The definition of “casual” is relaxed and unconcerned. This normally applies to attire but is now a lifestyle. Working from home, remote learning and in general the pandemic lockdown has accelerated what was already becoming the trend. Mary and Jody take a look at the QUEST for comfort in uncomfortable times and how our “casualization” does have consequences both good and not so much. We will even discuss the question should you; sleep, lounge, exercise, work and go out all in the same outfit?

Well PF’s (Podcast Friends), we think we are close enough and have discussed enough that it is time to take it on… “the birds and the bees”. Yes, you read that right, the birds and the bees. Give us a listen and who knows - you might finally hear a thing or two that gives new meaning to this age-old adage and if nothing else, it might open your ears to the songs and buzzing!

We talked favorite characters awhile back but now Jody wants to go a little deeper into why we identify with a particular character. Everyone is a unique individual, BUT we think if you join in you will quickly realize that we all have some “alter egos” that we admire or maybe aspire to emulate. Can’t wait to hear the feedback on this one and know which Disney character immediately comes to YOUR mind. Join us and SHOW YOUR CHARACTER!

Spring is here - Woohoo and a BIG YAY to all things light and bright. But it is also April Fool’s Day! We decided to combine the two ideas; springing forward AND April fooling…and we aren’t joking around, well maybe just a little. This podcast is just what you need to start to put winter behind you and move into the next Season. Grab your Trailmix, set your clocks forward and let the flowers bloom!

Every single day we are faced with this burning question - to cook or not to cook. In Jody’s case this takes on much significance since if the answer is yes I need to cook, then the anxiety sets in. Join us as we “hash out” the art, joy and angst of “preparing” food. You might even pick up a few tips... well probably not, but you most likely will feel better about your own cooking escapades after you listen!
