    Stand-Up, Motherhood, and the Magic of Second Acts with Orly K.G.
    Jan 30 2025
    Have you ever been told you were funny, talented, or just great at something—and wondered if you could turn it into a passion? On this episode of Good Listen, I chat with the hilarious and inspiring Orly K.G., who at 47 years old signed up for a stand-up comedy class just for fun and ended up transforming her life. Orly shares her journey from being a mom with some free time to building a comedic empire in Chicago, co-creating the wildly popular group, Bad Momz of Comedy. We dive into how she navigated the male-dominated world of comedy, how being a mom gave her a unique comedic voice, and what it's like to produce and perform in sold-out shows with moms from all walks of life. Whether you’re looking for inspiration to make a big life change or just want to laugh, this episode has it all. Follow along as Orly proves it’s never too late to chase your dreams, find your tribe, and have a lot of laughs along the way.

    How Rebecca Wild Turned Her Trauma into a Mission of Healing Others
    Jan 23 2025
    In this powerful episode of Good Listen, I sit down with Rebecca Wild, a multi-talented coach, author, and trauma survivor who has transformed her painful past into a mission of helping others. We explore how Rebecca broke free from traditional career paths to embrace multiple roles including yoga teacher, meditation instructor, and suicide hotline volunteer. She candidly shares her journey of escaping an abusive relationship and finding true safety and stability. Rebecca opens up about the difference between living in constant fear versus finding peace in predictability, and how meditation became key to her healing process. Through her book, The Will to Live Project, and various coaching endeavors, she demonstrates how lived experience can become a powerful tool for helping others navigate their own challenges. Our conversation delves into leaving abusive relationships, finding authentic love, and the importance of self-care. Rebecca's story shows how surviving trauma can become a catalyst for positive change in others' lives.

    Amy Freeze: Forecasting Weather, Family, and Faith
    Jan 16 2025
    What’s it really like to be a meteorologist—especially when your name is Amy Freeze? On this episode of Good Listen, I catch up with Amy, a long-time friend and one of the most talented weather pros out there. We talk about her journey to becoming a weather powerhouse in cities like New York and Philadelphia. Spoiler: she didn’t make up her name, and yes, she’s heard all the weather jokes! Amy shares how she broke into the male-dominated world of weather broadcasting, earned her AMS certification (it’s way harder than it sounds), and juggled life as a mom of four kids—three of whom are adopted. Oh, and did I mention she’s also a marathon runner? We also get into what it’s like being a Mormon in a party-filled industry, the secret to thriving in local news, and her exciting plans for the future. It’s a fun, inspiring chat that’ll make you appreciate the weather forecast in a whole new way.
