About Tammy:

Janelle and Lori talk with hypnotherapist and wellness expert, Sydney Amcucci.

Sydney suffered a stroke at a young age. And although she worked with an incredible medical team, she realized that, in order to overcome the physical, mental, and emotional struggles that came with recovery, she needed healing at a deeper level. That's when she discovered hypnotherapy. Although skeptical at first, she couldn't deny the changes she saw happening in the lives of those who were open to it. This led her to become a hypnotherapist herself, promoting wellness in mind, body, and spirit. She now owns INNERvenitons, a transpersonal hypnotherapy and wellness clinic.

You can hear more of Sydney's journey in this episode.

Janelle and Lori were thrilled to welcome best-selling comediennce Chonda Pierce.

A stand-up comedian, television hostess, author and now actress, Pierce has channeled her life experiences into positivity, bringing laughter to audiences around the country. As the RIAA’s best-selling female comedian, her hilarious take on life is easily relatable as she publicly opens up to her listeners about times of darkness and depression in her own life, drawing humor and good from every situation. In October 2015, Pierce took her humor to the big screen with her first film “Chonda Pierce: Laughing In The Dark,” based on her personal struggle to overcome depression. The film is a behind-the-scenes journal chronicling Pierce’s downward spiral dealing with the devastating loss of her mother, an estranged daughter and the tragedy of her husband’s battle with alcoholism and subsequent death, all over the course of three years. Yet she remarkably makes her way through the adversity, heart-wrenching loss and her own depression with the gift of humor! Pierce made the film in hopes it would serve as a vehicle to inspire others who may be hitting points of darkness and depression in their lives.
