Weekly Woman

On this episode of the podcast we dive deep into European Volleyball and talk to Flavia Knutti, a professional volleyball player hailing from Dudingen, Switzerland.  She’s a libero who’s played for Dudingen, Fribourg, and in the United States at Northwestern Ohio University.  And she’s on the Swiss National Team!  She grew up in an athletic family, her mother Myriam is a professor of sports and her dad Bruno is a sports coach for Hockey and Beach volleyball!

My sister joins me as we debate whether Mamma Mia 1 or Mamma Mia 2 is a better film and then we're joined by Elana Lantry who from San Diego, to the cold winters of Michigan, and then to New York City where she lives in an amazing Brooklyn townhouse now, she has circulated all over the US to pursue her love of theatre administration.  Currently in Development in the New York office of a prominent London theatre company, she’s still working during COVID to find funding for the arts.  Last year she ran the NY Marathon, her first marathon in record time and she loves all things Mamma Mia, National Treasure, The Bachelor, and pug related.

On this episode we talk New Years Resolutions and how to be successful at them.  And then we rebroadcast one of our most popular episodes this year with Amber Bowles from Married at First Sight and her dramatic relationship on the show. She is a middle school teacher living in North Carolina, and we talk reality TV, Charlotte and Womanhood.

In this episode we talk about the stresses of the holidays and how one woman moves past them living abroad.  A professional volleyball player currently living it up in Switzerland, Rachel Giustino is anything but ordinary.  Hailing from Illinois and from Murray State with 1,764 total kills (when you hit the volleyball over the net and get a point), this queen of the court was the Ohio Valley Conference Player of the Year and an honorable mention All-American by the American Volleyball Coaches Association.  This Outside Hitter comes from a family of athletes, her dad, Gerard, played pro baseball after also being a college athlete.  She eventually wants to become a dentist and after graduating from college last year, she experienced the graduation within the shut down!

In this episode we talk about the psychological benefits of decorating for the Holidays, even if no one else sees them, and we chat with Edie Huo, Miss Teen Toronto and Finalist for Miss Teen Canada about starting her own Pageant Coaching Firm!

We start the episode with the worst period story a girl can experience... honestly, why does this happen every month and then meet Ashley Logan a wellness practitioner who's changing the game!  

Ashley Logan is a wellness entrepreneur opening her own coaching practice, Ashley Logan Wellness.  After working 10+ years in corporate advertising and marketing, earning her  MBA in International Business, and raising her three children she had to sort through my own stress-related health issues. It was only when she took a holistic approach that she started to experience a shift.  This is led her on a journey to turn her life-long passion of health and wellness into her profession. She became a certified health coach through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and Registered 200-hours as a Yoga Instructor.  We’re so excited to talk to her about her life and business today in bringing the mind, body and soul in balance for better health and optimal wellness.
