Debbie Mueller is a self professed late-bloomer who is making art her second career. When she is not painting, Debbie is an OB GYN physician and surgeon who considers herself an accidental artist. As a New Englander, Debbie went to medical school in Connecticut and later settled in New Hampshire with her husband and children. Her mother was a hobby painter and she grew up with musical influences, which extended to an interest in dancing. But aside from regular creative outlets as a child she had no aspirations to paint. It was a rainy day on a family vacation that was to change her outlook when her mother encouraged her to spend some time painting. It was the feeling that it gave her that proved her motive and inspiration to continue. Debbie has spent time studying with a number of artists including Peggy Kroll Roberts, Anne Blair Brown, Sarah Sedwick and Julie Davis. She began exhibiting in 2016 and has since shown her work extensively in New England and beyond. Debbie has won numerous awards from Art Guilds to Best in Show and Plein Air Festivals. She is a member of Oil Painters of America, American Women Artists, American Impressionist Society and National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society. This year Debbie has a full schedule of traveling for workshops, exhibitions and plein-air tours.

What does Debbie listen to when she paints?
‘For the most part, I enjoy the quiet. Or I ask Siri to play music from the 70s.’

BIO
Alexa King has been a lifelong artist whose passion and talent combined to achieve success from the start of her career. Since early childhood, she became absorbed in drawing, combining her love of horses with a fascination for art. She has always owned horses and ponies so her intimate knowledge of anatomy and understanding of a horse’s gait gave her a unique perspective from which to create her sculptures. Her mother’s artistic eye and her father’s skills in construction provided the spring board for her to pursue her education in art by studying studio art as a painting major at Ball State University in her home town of Muncie, IN. Once she had established skills in creating three dimensional forms, she moved to Scottsdale, AZ where she cast her first bronze. This proved to be the launch pad for her career, which led to solo exhibitions at the Morris Douglas Fine Arts and Phippen O’Brien Gallery in Scottsdale. Her first major commission was to create a series representing the Pony Express for Nelson Rockefeller Collections in New York City. The memorial statue of 2006 Kentucky Derby winner Barbaro, which stands at Churchill Downs, Louisville, KY, is probably her most famous piece and the one of which she is most proud. With so many commissioned pieces now on display around the world her creative impulse is never still; she begins each day with drawing before she sets to work on a sculpture at her home in Verona, Wisconsin.

What does Alexa listen to while she's working?
Podcasts including The Daily, Terry Gross and currently the audiobook; Caveat Emptor, a secret life of an American forger, Ken Perenyi.

In May 2022, Marci Kornegay set off from the Southern Terminus to hike the Pacific Crest Trail but as the journey progressed into Northern California, Oregon and Washington State, wildfires interrupted her goal of reaching the Northen Terminus in Canada by the fall. Undaunted and determined to complete the through hike, Marci and her trail buddies reconvened in June 2023 to complete those elusive miles and claim their PCT through hike crown. Marci shares her highs and lows from the challenge and why it was important to her to complete it. In the meanwhile, she teamed up again with Chris Stafford to take on another long trail bike ride—they completed the 450-mile Potomac Heritage Trail in 2022—this time it was the Empire State Trail. The EST runs the width and length of the state of New York along the Erie Canal from Buffalo (via a detour to Niagara Falls in Canada) to Rochester, Syracuse, Albany where it joins the Hudson River Valley all the way to Manhattan in New York City; a total of over 650 miles. Chris & Marci share that journey from the wilds of upstate NY all the way to Battery Park, back and forth across the Hudson River - with high bridges and fast traffic! Hear what these two adventure buddies got up to along the way and what may be next on the horizon.

With several teams who could make it through to the final stages it will undoubtably be a tightly fought World Cup and with the US defending their title the stakes are high. Tune in to hear how Chris and Nancy think this will play out, the teams to watch and several players who will no doubt be game changers.

Marci’s guest is Anya Covington, CEO and Lead Consultant of Human2Human, LLC who acknowledges that she is ready to “strip naked” to be vulnerable and share her truth. Anya shares her unique perspective on how sport shaped her life and how she never allowed it to take control of her identity. As important of a role basketball played in her and her family’s life, it was never the defining identity. Basketball was and is just one of the many vehicles that lead to Anya’s self-discovery and self-confidence. Being raised in a supportive, disciplined, and loving home, Anya embraced her identity to lead through sport with compassion by relying on her upbringing to enforce her values, her faith in God and to lead future generations to be the best versions of themselves. Lessons learned throughout her sport journey were never easy. Bravery and resiliency is a defining theme as she talks through her life-threatening health conditions and a jaw-dropping police attack. These challenges combined with all the other setbacks athletes face while making decisions for their future. Anya has come out on top, she’s proud, she’s humble, and she leads with heart to enhance human connection from a place of wholeness.

The Stripped Naked Podcast is underway with our first guest delivering wisdom, inspiration, and motivation in a big way. Haley Daniels, an Olympian who represented Canada in the sport of Canoe Slalom in Tokyo 2020/21 and multiple national championship titles holder, is Marci’s first guest. Haley share the highs and lows of being an athlete at the highest level while taking on the demands of sponsorship, fundraising, entrepreneurship and building her brand. She is also an advocate for greater gender equity opportunities within the sport amplifying the voices of LGBTQ+ individuals, all while training and navigating the demands of sport identity. Balancing the transition from elite athlete to NARP (Normal Average Regular Person) might be the trickiest challenge for her yet. Haley admits that it’s not easy managing the expectations you have for yourself with the expectations from others. She knows this is something that she is going to have to work through while seizing every opportunity in her path. For now, Haley continues to arm herself with educational opportunities, consulting with her personal board of directors, and continuing to explore new environs. She’s a thrill-seeker, full of adventure, often on the go and loves living life on the edge with activities like ice climbing, mountain biking, skiing, kayaking, while finding any other rad outdoor quest. With her entrepreneurial spirit, Haley Daniels is going places and we can’t wait to hear what’s next for her on this non-competitive journey.

To get The Stripped Naked Podcast underway, host Marci Kornegay reveals just a little of her background and shares the importance and role that sport and athletic identity has played in her early career development. Being a competitive golfer shaped the way Marci selected how she would spend the first 15 years of her professional life as a coach. Building meaningful connections and driving young women golfers to pursuits exceeding the bounds of a golf course were the highlights of her coaching career. Pivoting from coaching, she collected additional interests and has remained firm in her values of being in the people business and always putting herself where she can support and lift others. Searching for identity, purpose, and pursuit is ever-evolving and Marci is proof of that. We will also set the stage of what is to come with future episodes of The Stipped Naked Podcast. Please subscribe wherever you get your podcast and leave your comments, questions and suggestions. Let’s see if we can build an entire Stripped Naked community.

Since retiring in 2015, The Wander Women, thrill-seeking nomads Kristy Burns and Annette Demel have hiked tens of thousands of miles, including the Colorado Trail, the Oregon Coast Trail, Superior Trail in Minnesota, Lonestar Trail in TX, going back-to-back-to- back on the Appalachian Trail, Continental Divide Trail, and Pacific Crest Trail to earn the Triple Crown. In addition they have added a few thousand miles on their bikes touring through the Pacific Northwest, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and through some American Rail Trails, including the C&O Canal, Great Allegheny Passage and the Empire State Trail—biking from Buffalo, NY to the heart of New York City. Living out of their RV full-time, they are no strangers to seeking adventure and living life to the fullest. They embody what it means to “Find Your Feral” and don’t shy away from the opportunity to share the importance of getting out and finding joy with others. They are living out their goals and continue to find more epic journeys as they set out to through hike the Arizona Trail, The Camino de Santiago, to complete the Ragbrai bike ride across Iowa, and to go global with long distance hiking in Slovenia and Coatia. There is no stopping these wander women, who definitely live up to their name.
