PaSean Wilson-Ashley returns to talk about her oh-so-good documentary, THE F WORD. What IS the F WORD? Fibroids. We talk about women's health, specifically women of color, trusting your body when it speaks to you, and how finding the right doctor is everything. PaSean has been working on this documentary for over ten years now and recently opted for a new challenge, turning it into a podcast. You know how much we love to talk to other good podcasters. It's an inspiring and informative good conversation.

Cody Bryant's real life story is right out of a soap opera: he met a girl, they started dating, he went on a trip overseas alone, got in an accident, wound up in the hospital unable to walk with no memory, she didn't hear from him and assumed she had been ghosted, they reconnected months later, started dating again, and fell in love. Crazy, right? But this is more than a love story, it's a journey filled with determination and resilience, one that Cody is still on to this very day. And he wants us all to know one good thing - never give up.

Sarah Woodard is back to spark more of our consciousness - literally - that's the name of her company, Spark Consciousness. We talk the good of being and embracing our true authentic selves, taking chances in our careers and playing it safe at the same time, and knowing when it's time to make a move in every sense of the word. She's equal parts empath and creative, with more books published than you can count, and she's all about keeping it real. Have you been thinking about taking a chance, a swing, a try at something that gives you your own spark? Sarah will give you the inspiration to, as she herself says, 'Do it. Just do it.'

James Freitas continues his ghostly good story of apparitions-a-plenty...at the mall (insert menacing laugh). Look, it's no secret I fancy a spooky story, so much so I made the executive decision this good topic needed to be a two parter. But make no mistake, this is more than just another Halloween-themed tale, it's a story about our connection and shared experience. And if it opens your mind or creeps you out a little, even better I say. Please look under your bed and lock your door before continuing to listen.

Celebrate Halloween with Mary Edwards, John Carrozza, Jaci Pund, James Freitas and Susan Moore who all join us to get their good spooky time on. It's a full episode of ghostly tales - literally - this one's all about ghosts: ones that visited us in childhood, ones we went to college with, and yes, even a few who showed up at the mall back in the day. Do you believe in spirits? Can you explain the unexplainable? And what's good about it all? That's what this special holiday episode is all about.

Have you voted? Are you planning to vote? Here's an inspirational flashback bonus with our good pal, CBS Sunday Morning correspondent and Emmy-winner Faith Salie, sharing her personal inspiration, her 100+ year old neighbor Ruth. Faith originally brought us this good story back for our 1 Year Anniversary Special, way back in Episode #61. In the current climate we are in, it felt like a good time for a reshare. Let's all honor Ruth's wish and 'Yes. Vote.'

Shelly Tygielski is a 2020 CNN Hero, the founder of Pandemic of Love, Co-Founder of Partners in Kind, and she just happens to live in Asheville, North Carolina. Yep. THAT Asheville. The same one that bore the brunt of Hurricane Helene. Nothing could have prepared her for this catastrophe, one that she is still living through and in. We talk the reality of living without running water, cell phones, electricity, what it's like to see your community this damaged, and how through it all, any one of us can be a helper, even now as the need is still there. Take note: This is NOT a downer episode. In fact, it's one of the most uplifting and inspirational ones we've ever offered.

Diane Dieterich followed her heart right to a greener pasture - literally - that's the name of her farm rescue. Greener Pastures is a 2023 top-rated great non-profit award winner and they're featured on Redfin's Bucket List as a must-see in San Luis Obispo, California, so they got a lot of good going on and a lot of good to share. Their good includes Dinkey, who back in 2019 became a social media sensation as the pig who lost twenty-plus pounds and inspired others around him to do the same. And that's what Diane - and this farm rescue - is all about: inspiration, motivation and uplifting others to make good happen in as many selfless ways as possible. Can I get an oink-men? (Sorry, it's the best I can do on limited caffeine intake today).

Geri Jewell meets Carol Burnett in this good bonus. If you don't believe in visual and creative manifestation, you may just change your mind after hearing this story. If you can see it, you can make it happen. Anything is possible.
-
Geri Jewell is a comedian, actor and author who just happens to have cerebral palsy. When she crossed paths with legendary TV producer Norman Lear, her life changed forever and so did ours. Her portrayal of Cousin Geri on The Facts of Life was a ratings bonanza. She's gone on to many other projects but stand up comedy has always been her happy place. Her new book, Geri's Jewels & Gems spotlights the many columns she has written over the years and proves there is no stopping any of us when we set our mind to something we are passionate about. We talk about her first time on stage at just 18 months old all the way to her final meeting with Lear at his home where Dustin Hoffman just also happened to show up - only in Hollywood. Geri is the definition of inspiration. And she's also a damn good hilarious time.

Will Keck spent his early career chasing scandals and digging up dirt. Now he's put all those stories into his own memoir, When You Step Upon A Star: Cringeworthy Confessions of a Tabloid Bad Boy. But this isn't some gossip-ridden, tattle-tale, tell all. It's the story of one man trying to find himself in all the wrong Hollywood places. Will joins us to share his love of television, specifically shows like The Brady Bunch, Eight Is Enough, The Six Million Dollar Man and more that all served as surrogate members of the family he longed to have, how some of the biggest stars he idolized and then had to demonize have forgiven him, and most importantly, how through it all he found himself and his place in the world. We also talk about why society finds itself so drawn to celebrities, how all that glitters isn't necessarily gold, and the importance of stepping outside our own secret identities. From the Ewings of Dallas to the Carringtons of Dynasty, with a pitstop in Walnut Grove, this episode guarantees a nostalgic good time.

Wendy Miller loves cats and cards, games and fun. That last word is the most important one. She's someone who follows her fun and it's taken her to many hilarious places including Cat Con. We talk about the secret to happiness, how expectations will get you every time, and why your dumbest idea might just be your best idea. If you're hiding your secret passion it's time to let your freak flag fly (or in this case, your kitty litter fly). Prepare to be inspired by someone who is not just meowing the meow, she's walking the cat walk (OK, I'll stop with the cat puns). And finally, Wendy was also in a Morris the Cat commercial as a child and if that doesn't make you listen to this episode, I don't know what will.
