Tune in to the vibrant premiere of Season 3 of the WDYM podcast as we kick things off with a celebratory shoutout to Pride Month. We dive into the historical significance of the Stonewall Riots of 1969, discussing why it's crucial to know our history and proudly stand up for our rights. I also take a moment to honor Yahshua and Margarita from the So Mixed Up Podcast (Or So Remixed Up), whose dynamic chemistry and inspiring work fueled the start of the WDYM. Their relentless work ethic taught me valuable lessons.

Ever faced the emotional rollercoaster of job searching after a sudden termination? You're not alone. I share my personal journey through the ups and downs of unemployment, from awkward interviews at Toast and Berry to exploring jobs outside my healthcare background, including a quality assurance role at a bakery. The mental and emotional challenges are real, but maintaining self-worth is critical. Through this candid narrative, I aim to shed light on the importance of mental resilience while navigating the turbulent waters of job hunting.

Finally, get ready for some culinary dreams and amusing brainstorming sessions! Join me as I explore the adventure of naming a food truck, featuring some hilariously vetoed suggestions like "Gee's Spot" and "Gee's Meat Spot." From experimenting with smash burgers and chicken sandwiches to vivid dreams about becoming an executive chef, this chapter is both entertaining and insightful. I also reflect on life's lessons and the growth that comes from facing challenges head-on. As we wrap up with a fresh outro, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to all our listeners for their unwavering support and hope you enjoy the renewed vibe of WDYM.

Ever wondered how a single podcast episode could trigger a career upheaval? Tune in as I recount the rollercoaster that was Season Two of the WDYM podcast. An unforeseen hiatus began with my unexpected termination from work over a podcast episode, leading to a two-month journey through corporate red tape. From the highs of our Hamilton-Badin football rivalry series to special guest appearances , the season had its share of memorable moments. Despite the challenges, the podcast has grown significantly, and I'm excited to share what's next as we transition into Season Three without missing a beat.

Sit with me through the recount of corporate bureaucracy and termination, where a helpful HR representative finally provided clarity after a month of confusion. Reflecting on past mistakes. Season Three promises new cover art, fresh content, and more engaging episodes. Thank you for your unwavering support; the best is yet to come as I move forward with renewed determination.

Ever find yourself waxing nostalgic about the mixtapes of your youth while swiping left in search of love? Join me, Crystal Kolb , and my Co-Host Michael Gillespie (LOL) as we chuckle over our former dating escapades and get real about searching for that special someone in our 40s. With heart and humor, we dissect the evolution of romantic expectations, the digital dating revolution, and the fine art of navigating middle-aged love.

Crystal and I don't shy away from the nitty-gritty, whether it's the delicate dance of going Dutch or the ever-present conundrum of when to introduce your kids to a new partner. We unravel the complexities of connecting with someone new while balancing the responsibilities that come with life's fourth decade. It's an honest reflection on the importance of communication, the instinctual wisdom we've gathered along the way, and the challenge of not letting past relationships define our future love stories.

As we wrap up, we leave you with a heartfelt tip and a laugh – don't let the emotional luggage from your past crowd your journey forward. We've all got it, but it's about carrying it with the finesse of someone who's lived and learned. So, pour yourself a glass of whatever soothes your soul, and tune in for an episode that will leave you feeling seen, heard, and maybe even a little inspired to make your next swipe count.

As Season 2 starts to wine down. I wanted to see if my version of WDYM is the longest running podcast with that title...Plus I toy with the idea of taking the stage at the Funny Bone for 5-6 minutes. Get the skinny on the bubbling anticipation for season three, where we'll wave our 'longest running' banner with pride. You'll get a sneak peek at the mayhem that could unfold if I swap my mic for a stand-up spotlight.

Having a "Marble Friend" is like having checks and balances in life when it comes to work, play and birthdays. Lastly my constant pursuit of buns of steel, revealing the raw and often humorous side of my physical insecurities.

When Destini and I crafted our "Wheel of Luck" to teach our kids about money through chores, we never expected it to spin us into a whirlwind family debate. Our youngest's fluctuating fortunes on this homemade game led to a lively discussion about fairness and the values we're imparting. It's all fun and games until someone lands on Bankrupt—or is it? Destini's sharp questions and my own dubious role as Monopoly's banker add a personal flavor to this episode, offering a candid glimpse into the sometimes messy process of guiding our children through life's financial ups and downs.

Join us, Michael and Destini , as we unfold the consequences of risk and greed witnessed during family game night. Our eldest's cautious approach contrasts with her sibling's boldness, setting the stage for life lessons that extend far beyond the game board. We'll reflect on the weighty responsibility of teaching tough lessons, like dealing with loss and making smart choices, and how these shared moments can sculpt a young person's understanding of the world. Expect to be entertained, challenged, and maybe even a little inspired, as we navigate the delicate act of nurturing through play.

Ever wondered what it's like to navigate the choppy seas of middle school crushes and the tangled jungle of friendships? Hop aboard with us, Natalie White and Amilia Gillespie, as we set sail on the Sassy Sisterhood podcast's maiden voyage, dishing out our juiciest stories and heart-fluttering confessions. From my (Natalie's) rollercoaster emotions for the enigmatic 'Andrew' to Amilia's rant about her less-than-ideal lab partner Chris, I'm also spilling the beans on a prank that had my cheeks burning brighter than a pop quiz I didn't study for, and we're both weighing in on why we aren't itching to run with the popular pack.

As if crushes weren't enough drama, tune in to hear about the schoolyard brawl that thrust Jake and Aiden into the spotlight, with Miss Sugar stepping in to referee. We're pulling back the curtain on the school's eyebrow-raising behavior-monitoring strategies, from recess espionage to henna ink interrogations. And let's not forget the complex tapestry of friendships; some intersect, some are just beyond reach, and all require a deft hand to maintain. Join us for a raw, laugh-out-loud exploration of the social labyrinth that is middle school, with all its laughter, heartaches, and the unvarnished truth of what it means to be part of the Sassy Sisterhood.
