Unscripted Turbulence with Raegan Medgie

Would love to hear your thoughts!

The second Wednesday in January is when fitness resolutions start to fade — and that’s why this episode matters.

Founder of Stronger with Luisa, Luisa Curia, shares the deeply personal reason fitness became her lifeline. After battling depression in her 20s and nearly overdosing on pills, movement became her oxygen.

In this raw conversation, Luisa opens up about how fitness helped heal her mind, carried her through a marriage falling apart, supported her through the grief of losing her father, and continues to ground her through life’s turbulence.

This episode isn’t about motivation — it’s about survival, strength, and why fitness works when you let it meet you where you are.

Start 2026 with clarity, courage, and a little magic.

In this episode, I sit down with my friend and spiritual advisor, Sutton Crawford — the witch who helped guide me through two major career decisions that changed everything.

We talk about her path into witchcraft, intuitive guidance, and how to trust the signs that show up when you’re standing at a crossroads. And halfway through, Sutton pulls cards for the year ahead, offering an uplifting and energizing look at what 2026 wants for all of us.

If you’re ready to take a leap this year, this episode is your sign.

It’s my final episode before a three-week holiday break! 🦃✨ I’m checking in about how Thanksgiving went and sharing a little plea: as you spread holiday cheer, please share this podcast with someone who might need it.

This break feels especially meaningful this year. For the first time in a long time, I get to enjoy the holidays without the grueling local TV news grind. I’m grateful for the chance to recharge while continuing to build something of my own—something that lights me up in a different way.

Thank you for every listen, every message, and every bit of support. I’ll be back Wednesday, December 31 (New Year’s Eve!) with a brand-new episode.

Until then, happy holidays—and thanks for being part of this journey. ❤️

This special Birthday Episode begins the only way it should: with the gentle clink of my favorite gin martini. I share the recipe (because tradition!) and invite you into a little “Martinis with Medgie” moment.

From there, I open up about how I’m celebrating this year, the rituals that ground me, and what the last few months have brought into my life — the highs, the turbulence, and everything in between.

I also talk about the podcast’s holiday schedule, including why I’m taking a pause, what I’ll be working on during that break, and what’s coming next.

Thank you for your support, your listens, and your belief in this journey.
Pinky’s up — cheers to another year!

This week, I chat with Tom Dubreuil — better known as Santa Claus in my hometown of Bethlehem, Pennsylvania — also known as “Christmas City, USA.”

From a career in education to donning the red suit, Tom shares how he became Santa, what he learned at Santa School, and how he handles the toughest questions from curious kids.

We also talk about the magic of Bethlehem, PA, its rich history, and what makes it one of the most festive towns in America.

And by the end, you may find yourself believing all over again that yes, Virginia, there really is a Santa Claus. ❤️

A heartwarming, joyful episode full of Christmas spirit — perfect for the holiday season!

Ever wonder what happens when two reporters get together?

Meet my work bestie, Janice Yu — my ride-or-die through the highs and lows of life in TV news. From competing stations to running the NYC Marathon together, we’ve seen it all.

In this honest conversation, Janice opens up about mental health, the pressures of the job, and what it really means to lean on someone who understands.

This episode is a reminder that behind every “on-air personality” is a real person — sometimes holding it together with help from a friend.

This episode will make your jaw drop.

Marisa Burke was the top news anchor in her city — until her husband’s scandal became the breaking story on her own newscast.

I was a reporter in that newsroom when it all unfolded. In this interview, Marisa reveals what really happened behind the scenes — a side few ever saw.

It’s raw. It’s real. It’s courage.

Language Disclaimer: In sharing her story, my guest uses some strong language to express what she’s been through. It’s powerful, emotional, and real.

Christina Thompson has faced loss, layoffs, and two cancers — but she refuses to let any of it define her. Each hit only pushed her to rise higher.

Her motto says it all:

“It’s not the knockout. It’s the comeback.”

An honest, raw conversation about resilience, courage, and what it means to keep leaping through life’s turbulence.
