Strap on your roller skates and glide into a world of laughter, nostalgia, and the occasional stumble with us. As Wendi found herself rounding the bend of the big 5-0, she realized that life's shortness is not just a philosophical musing—it's a call to action. This episode is a mix of sass and sincerity, from the hilarity of mismatched shoes at the rollerskating rink to the profound moments of reflection on personal growth and the passage of time. Join us as we share stories about reclaiming joy in childhood pastimes and the unexpected life lessons discovered along the way.
 
Grief is a journey often walked in solitude, but in this conversation, we form a circle of support, sharing our strategies for coping and connecting to those we've lost. We discuss the quieter side of grief—when the initial chaos subsides, and the real work of healing begins. We also tackle the elephant in the room—social media—and its impact on our mental health during these times. No guests join us today; just raw, candid exchanges that celebrate the lives of our loved ones and explore the therapeutic acts of remembrance.
 
Feeling stuck can happen to anyone, but we've got your back with some simple yet effective tactics to kick those blues to the curb. We chat about the undeniable power of movement, the clarity of setting realistic goals, and the comfort found in community support. This episode is for anyone looking for inspiration to rediscover their authentic selves and push through the funk. So, let this be your invitation to take that small step, whether it's a coffee with a friend or just enjoying the freedom of rolling to the beat, and join us on this invigorating ride through life's ups and downs.

David Allen Tracy is a serial entrepreneur and an award-winning marketing and advertising strategist with a global client base. His specialty is curating effective, in-depth marketing campaigns bridging international and cultural gaps. As a personal brand coach, he’s coached hundreds of clients, from models and entertainers to keynote speakers, authors, realtors, entrepreneurs, and influencers, all on their journey to developing powerful personal brands, whether that be brand assessment and strategy, storytelling, online presence, image and appearance, communication skills, networking and relationship building, career advancement, personal development and more.

David's storytelling brings a childhood steeped in cultural richness and adventure to life. Through the kaleidoscope of David's life, we traverse themes that strike a chord with us all – family, health, and the impact we leave on the world. Our conversation weaves through the adaptability of children in globetrotting families, the importance of stability, and the transformative power of personal challenges like overcoming cancer. David's pivot to entrepreneurship, imbued with a philanthropic spirit, sheds light on the potential of businesses to create wealth and make a lasting social contribution. His insights on cultural shock and responsibility upon returning to the US are a profound reminder of the abundance and safety we often take for granted.

Concluding our exploration, we delve into the essence of deep, authentic connections – the cornerstone of personal and professional growth. David opens up about the rarity of relationships that foster complete honesty, the healing power of therapy, and the importance of addressing trauma for societal progress.  We're reminded of the significance of investing in ourselves and cherishing the moments with our loved ones. Join us for a dialogue that is as enriching as it is enlightening, filled with powerful stories that inspire a life lived passionately and present with those we hold dear.

Gather 'round the fireplace, friends—faux or otherwise—as we share a cup of cheer and our most treasured Christmas traditions. Whether it's the laughable calamity of a flaming fairy toy or the shared madness of Black Friday, we've got the kind of yuletide tales that'll warm your heart faster than chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Join us on this festive journey down memory lane, where we reminisce about the good ol' days of the Cabbage Patch Kids frenzy and the bittersweet memories of Toys R Us, all wrapped up with the camaraderie of holiday shopping escapades.

The spirit of the season shifts, as does the way we celebrate—our holiday traditions have matured alongside us. From the feverish pace of parent mode to the tranquil enjoyment of the here and now, hear how we've swapped present piles for passport stamps, eagerly pivoting towards creating travel-infused memories with our grown children. Yet, even as we declutter our homes of "Schatzkees," it's the mischievous re-wrapping of gifts and the anticipation of what's beneath the wrapping that remains a cherished constant. 

As we close the book on another year, we're not just trading in Christmas clutter for joy but also reflecting on the simpler times of childhood and the laughs that come with garage sale drama. With heartfelt gratitude for your companionship with our listeners, we're excited for the fresh start ahead—promising a mix of heartfelt and humorous topics to keep you both entertained and in your feels. So snuggle up in your favorite festive PJs, and let's toast to the adventures that await us in the new year with 'Your Sasstastic Life,' lovingly produced by Apexx VO. Here's to making spirits bright and keeping life sasstastically authentic!

Have you ever wondered about the strange things women discuss when they get together, let alone when that rendezvous is recorded for a podcast? Well, brace yourselves for an amusing yet insightful journey with us, your hosts Tricia Rivas and Wendi Fredregill, as we join forces with the dynamic duo behind the "The Mic Is On" podcast, Tina Smothers and Beth Runles, Property Management Gurus and mentors with over 25 years in their field. They attended the school of life lessons to be in executive roles. They are Moms, divorcees, back in love and married again—lovers of Golden Girls, reality TV, people watching and lying on the beach. 

We navigate various topics ranging from the complexities of motherhood to behind-the-scenes in the world of property management. Ever had a romper zipper mishap? Tina has, and trust us, it makes for a hilarious story. Additionally, we discuss the often-overlooked aspects of everyday life, like sleepwear choices, laundry mishaps, and the realities of being a woman, including periods and toxic shock. Our conversation about the property management industry will leave you in stitches as they share a weird incident they encountered - think abandoned rats and walls smeared with ketchup!

As if that wasn't enough, we also discuss a unique cat fiasco at the airport, the nostalgia related to typewriters, and our potential new fashion trend - Moo Moos for pajamas! Join us for a rollercoaster ride of laughter, insights, and a whole lot of fun. You won't want to miss it!

Have you ever wondered how owning your neurodivergence can transform your life? Meet Britney Brown, a powerhouse of a woman who’s not just an entrepreneur and a mother of five but also a beacon for the neurodivergent community. Join us as Brit unravels her journey from understanding her ADHD diagnosis to becoming a TikTok influencer. The path was far from smooth, but every challenge and triumph helped shape Brit into the woman she is today.

Adoption is a journey filled with love, joy, and its fair share of struggles. Brit's authentic narrative of adopting four of her five children, navigating motherhood, and her ADHD diagnosis paints a vivid picture of resilience. Her rise as a TikTok influencer amidst the chaos proves that one can turn a diagnosis into a platform for transforming lives.

Do you ever feel inadequate because you lack formal education? Brit understands and shares her unique way of handling this. She signs off as Brit Brown, W.T.A.F., whenever she finds herself being the only one without a degree at gatherings. This episode wraps up with a discussion on the importance of embracing acquired knowledge and using it to our advantage. Brit's story is not just inspiring; it also serves as a reminder that we are not defined by our conditions but by how we rise above them.

At the start of 2020, Britney Brown was a successful full-time professional photographer. Through a series of really weird life events, pandemics, life changes, and joining TikTok (do NOT knock it until you try it!) she realized that her place in the world was helping other people realize they aren’t alone in their bedlam. She created Imperfect Inspiration, a snarky, sassy mental health-based e-commerce brand that focuses on neurodivergent humans, sharing life's messes, and highlighting all of the magic sparkly-brained humans can achieve with the right support. (She also probably forgot to turn off her straightener this morning. It's fine. Everything is fine.)
