Episode 57! - Christmas Trees - And Thought On Feeling Very Un-Christmasy...Kind Of. Helloo...this is Stephanie...Talk, Tales and Trivia. Merry Christmas! Yes...it's almost here; really only days away but we still have a little time to do some small (or big) Christmas shopping. In this episode we talk about Christmas trees and some pretty good Christmas tree trivia...if you're into that kind of thing... ;-) Then at the end I tell you what's been going on with me in the past couple of months...some bad and uncomfortable situations that, at first, made Christmas preparations difficult. And there is a lesson I learned about when to let things go (now) and start over in a new year. And...yes. I finally mustered up that Christmas feeling. Run. Now. Go to your kitchen. Make that hot beverage that you love so much. Perhaps a hot chocolate with a candy cane in it?! Just a thought. Sit back, relax, listen and smile as this episode lulls you into remembering the best thing about hanging around your Christmas tree. A Very Important Announcement: *Southpaw - A Tale About A Girl's Imagination is no longer on amazon because Stephanie is hard at work revising it after finding a few small things that needed changing and she is busy making the 2nd edition. It will be re-released in mid-winter. ALSO...help a girl and her production gang out and push that PURPLE BUTTON on your iPhone (come on don't be a grinch...you know the button) to SUBSCRIBE or REVIEW!

Episode 56 - What A Week! - Thanksgiving - Black Friday - Shop Local Saturday -Cyber Monday...AND MORE! Helloo...this is Stephanie...Talk, Tales and Trivia... Merry, Merry Christmas! So it's begun. All the Christmas shopping. Driving to out of the way stores to buy that one glorious gift for that special someone. Well, this week I free wheel it with no script or bullet points but just speak from the heart about this all American week that begins with Thanksgiving. It used to be Black Friday was the big day after Thanksgiving but no more. Yep. The powers that be can't stop adding days to make the shopping go on, and on, and on! So I mention a few neat-o websites that I like for that perfect day for me, Cyber Monday. Follow my lead with the websites mentioned (also linked down below).
Yes. It is fun to sit in front of my computer on Cyber Monday; drinking my forever hot beverage of choice with the Hallmark Channel Christmas movies playing in the background. Could it get much better than that? I think not. But why stop with Cyber Monday? There's even a special day for Tuesday now. And to add to the holiday fun I've even made up a couple of days of my own that I hope will stick for years to come with the general public. We'll just have to wait and see! Oh, we will! Scamper to the kitchen like a little elf and get your favorite hot beverage, sit your weary body down and relax, listen, and enjoy this twice as long episode! Ahhh...now, doesn't that feel good? You know it does. Some Very Important Announcements: *Talk, Tales and Trivia will be coming out with episodes every other week (except for some special Christmas episodes) to give the team more time to do proper research. And this will usually mean a longer episode...so that's good!
*Southpaw - A Tale About A Girl's Imagination is no longer on amazon because Stephanie is hard at work revising it after finding a few small things that needed changing and she is busy making the 2nd edition. It will be re-released in mid to late January.

Episode 55 - It's A Hallmark Christmas Season - Oh...it's On, Baby! Helloo...this is Stephanie...Talk, Tales and Trivia.
And I LOVE Christmas! :-) Yep. It's true! In this episode Stephanie talks, and talks, and talks about her love of the Christmas season by highlighting the Hallmark company that includes the two Hallmark cable channels. These are two very important channel's to Stephanie this season. Why? Because of the Hallmark Original Christmas Movies that play all season long. Yes. For Stephanie...it feels so right! So it can't be wrong! She goes into a little history (and we do mean a very little) and then dives right into all the snowy, Christmas-time Hallmark fun. Hey, if you have time, glide on over to the "Countdown To Christmas" on the Hallmark Channel and see what Stephanie's all aglow about. Also, Hallmark has an online game on the website that you can enter to win prizes! Fun! Yes. There is fun for all! There's so much to see and do this time of year but to Stephanie, carving out a little time to sit, relax, unwind, and drink a hot beverage while watching a Christmas movie...or five...is SO worth it! You might say it's the frosting on top of the gingerbread cookie! Well, that just makes us hungry. So now...go quick...get that wonderful hot beverage of choice and throw a blanket on, get in your coziest chair and relax with a Hallmark Christmas movie or two. And promise us that for a couple of hours or so you will let yourself just sit and watch a "feel good" Christmas movie. Stephanie does it all the time and, you know what?...it DOES feel good. Now, The Two Things To Keep In Mind: *The Hallmark Channel has romantic, love story Christmas movies. And...just a heads up here but...the movies usually involve some sort of a love triangle with a hard decision having to be made at the end. And it's pretty much a no brainer on how it's going to end. *The Hallmark Movies and Mysteries Channel has family, feel-good Christmas movies. These kind of movies are perfect for when the whole family is gathered around with a big bowl of popcorn.
Either way...you can't go wrong. Some Other Very Important Announcements: *Talk, Tales and Trivia will be coming out with episodes every other week now to give the team more time to do proper research. And this will usually mean a longer episode...so that's good!
*Southpaw - A Tale About A Girl's Imagination is no longer on amazon because Stephanie is hard at work revising it after finding a few small things that needed changing and she is busy making the 2nd edition. It will be re-released in mid to late January. Go To The Hallmark Channel Website To See All The Cool Things Stephanie Talked About (and previews to the Christmas movies).

  In this episode Stephanie talks about her past month and what she did to get ready for Podcast Movement 17. It was pretty exciting and a little terrifying, too. Well, that's an understatement.   It was very terrifying because she was making a "Ted Talk Type" tale that she would be doing on stage the day before the official opening of Podcast Movement 17.   Stephanie retells the tale she gave about her passion for podcasting using her first year in radio vs her first year in podcasting as examples to eventually wind up finding her passion for communicating her message through podcasting. It turned out okay but it doesn't end there!   Episode 50! - My Tale At - Podcast Movement -   Stephanie also talks about podcasting in general and how podcasting is the way to promote your business and tap into a audience that you didn't even know existed. It's something to give some serious thought about.   Stephanie also has a new novel coming out on October 17th entitled, Southpaw - A Tale About A Girl's Imagination. Stephanie will definitely be talking more about this in the upcoming weeks.   Now Something Really Important!   DONATE $10 TO THE AMERICAN RED CROSS TO HELP THE VICTIMS OF HURRICANE HARVEY HERE'S HOW: TEXT H-A-R-V-E-Y TO 90-999 AND FOLLOW THE PROMPTS.

In this episode Stephanie talks about something no woman really likes to talk about. That's right. "Swimsuit Season". It's even difficult for Stephanie to think about it this summer for more than 5 minutes without locking herself in the bathroom. Plus...it's much better inside her 72 degree home...not just better...it's SO much better. Forget the beach. Forget sweating. There's no need for any of these things! The End!
*I Mom So Hard - Swimsuit Season Video (Dirty Language) THEN Stephanie talks about the latest craze from this past spring...Fidget Spinners and Fidget Cubes. They're crazy and fun! We love them.
