Did you have a favorite treat from the ice cream truck as a kid? Let me ruin all that magic by revealing the cut-throat and shady world of ice cream sales. We also catch up on some news of the day- why American workers aren't returning to their pre-pandemic jobs- and it isn't because they are lazy. Join me for another soul sucking adventure into the world of minimum wage.

Welcome to the first episode of Cry While You're Walking! These are my personal stories of heartache and rebirth. 

In this episode, we explore some theories about fate, a preset 'death day' (like a birthday), crossing the 'sifting' bridge, and so much more. I will tell you the story of my father's death, the weight of grief, and the messy affair of the ten kittens. I would love if you would join me for the first of many conversations.

Some stuff I mention in the podcast:

The book Stiff by Mary Roach:

• Lap of Love (855) 955-5683 operated from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

In this episode we talk about why you should be a coffee snob, and how I may actually want to try this new shaken espresso Starbucks drink. Then we talk about why Gen Z thinks Helen Keller was a fraud, the story of the boy who could not be diagnosed, the case for strep and St. Vitus’ Dance/PANDAS, how inflammation may be to blame for psychoneurological disorders such as Tourette’s syndrome, OCD, and autism, and why the blood-brain barrier is so important. Whew! It’s a lot. Pour yourself a fresh cup of joe and join me as we look into the mystery of the brain.

In this episode we DIY some mocha lattes and talk about why you should never ask for extra hot milk. Then we get into a new trend called ‘reality shifting’, deep fakes, the mind’s eye, aphantasia, daydreaming, lucid dreaming, and good old quantum physics. It’s a psychedelic roller coaster this week. Grab a good cup of coffee and join me.

Welcome to the first episode of this series! Let's put some love and respect on the people who work hard at these low paying jobs. In this episode, I talk about the reasons why minimum wage workers are important, how the economic climate has changed for many of us, and why these professions are a lot more than 'unskilled labor'. Then we get into the coffee life and how baristas may or may not secretly be decaffeinating you.

In this episode we drink some Cafe Bustelo, talk about Latin coffees, and make a Cafe Cubano- that crema! Then we talk about psychosomatic illness and the possibility of our thoughts and emotions causing physical disease. Also in this episode: Louise Hay, affirmations, how you’ve never touched anything for real, quantum physics, a brief history of Cleveland, starling murmurations, and lots of wandering off topic.

In this episode we talk about Gevalia coffee and how NOT to make a pumpkin latte. Then we dive into the lore of Krampus- the dark companion to St. Nicholaus who comes for the bad children during the winter holiday season. Why do Eastern Europeans love to scare the crap out of children? Listen with a hot cup of joe as we sort it out.
