This week’s episode is such a fun one, and honestly, I wish we could've kept it going because I have SO many follow-up questions. I sat down with Lindsay Robson, who you might know from Nickel City Pretty, Copper & Steel, When’s Food? podcast, the Buffalo Blogger Network… and basically every cool creative corner of Buffalo. We talked about all of h…

Everyone’s in for a real treat with this one — meet my grandparents, Norbert and Rosemarie Marciniak! While visiting them in Las Vegas, I pulled out my mic (much to their surprise) and started asking all the questions: about their childhoods, how they met, what parenting was like in the ’60s and ’70s, and whether hindsight really is 20/20. We even …

In this episode of the Mostly All Figured Out podcast, I sit down with Chad Williams, founder of the clothing brand dooProcess. Chad opens up about his journey from growing up in a large, close-knit family in Brooklyn to moving to Buffalo to attend Buffalo State University. Wrestling played a huge role in his life, and although an injury altered hi…

In this episode, I'm sharing a simple practice that's already made a huge difference in keeping me on track with my goals — a monthly review. Taking about an hour at the end of each month to reflect has helped me stay accountable, identify where I fell short, and create a plan to overcome obstacles in the month ahead. For example, I wasn’t as consi…

Y'all, today, I’m bringing you an episode that will resonate with anyone who's ever questioned their path, felt stuck in a role that didn’t quite fit, or wondered, What do I actually want my life to look like? I’m joined by the incredible Kate Welshofer—writer, speaker, content creator, and self-proclaimed mischief-maker. You may recognize her from…

Alright, let’s be real—vision boards can feel a little cringe. Cutting out magazine quotes like “Be Brave” and slapping them on a poster doesn’t magically make you brave (trust me, I’ve tried). But here’s the thing: vision boards can actually work—if you do them right. In this episode, I’m breaking down: ✨ Why your past vision boards might’ve been …

We've all heard it a million times— "Gratitude is life-changing!" "You need a gratitude practice!" "It’ll shift your mindset, attract abundance, and transform your life!" But… does it really work? For me, the answer has been a resounding yes. What started as a 28-day gratitude journey at the beginning of the year has turned into something I never w…

I still can't believe this interview actually happened. I fell in love with Ellie's voice before I had the chance to meet her and fall in love with her as a human. In this episode, she shares what it was like being a kid in high school who knew with explicit certainty what she wanted to be when she grew up. She talks about the importance of setting…

I highly …

Aaaaaaaaand we're back. I won't bore y'all with what life has been like the last couple of months that led to another podcast hiatus. Well, actually I will, but I'll save it for a solo episode. More importantly, I'm THRILLED to share my conversation with Justin Hofschneider of Wine on Hertel (WOH)! Justin and I met ages ago when he first soft opene…

Before that, he designed and built furniture and commercial fixtures at his furniture store calle…

OMGGGGG I am so happy to be back 😭 Wow I missed this podcast, I missed talking into the mic alone, I missed sharing great conversations with amazing people, wow wow wow. I can't let 4 months go by like that again. But, tbh, I had to. I share more in the episode, but it's been a wild 4 months of pushing to the finish line of this chapter of my life.…

DJ A is on the pod today! Andrew had a love for music from day one. But he didn't pursue it as a career right away!

Hey, y'all. It's been a weird week. I've been in a funk for no real reason. For me, when anxiety appears, it takes the form of a tight chest and decision paralysis. Which is why I'm posting this podcast at 10:45PM on the day it should be up. In this episode, I share how imposter syndrome and people-pleasing accosted me the last few days and the thi…

We talked about how he met his current partner (IRL!), when and why he started his own IT consulting business, and how it felt coming back to photography after a few years with…

This one is a biiiiiiiiiiit personal, some might argue, a bit too personal? I bring my sister on and consume two bottles of wine while we talk dating in 2024. Definitely not one for the kids, ensure there are no children around that can hear this when you do. Trust and believe the public podcast will not have content like this again 😅 But once I of…

This episode went on a lot longer than I thought it would 😂 I've been doing a lot of putting my money where my mouth is over the last year and I have started seeing some really great results from it. So in this episode I share where I've been investing my time, energy and money, in the hopes that it'll inspire you to do the same for yourself. Going…

Composting, recycling, landfills... oh my! I finally got my episode with sustainability engineer John Atkinson! Recycling has always been such a mystery to me so I was grateful to be able to ask some of the questions that have been swirling around my brain for a while. It turns out that recycling IS in fact important. We actually do make a differen…

We're trying something new this week! YouTube. Can you believe? It's been confirmed from our guru at the Buffalo Public Library, the brilliant Jordan, that we can use camera equipment there! So that means sometimes you will see us recording with guests in the library, and other times you will see me in the studio in my home office. And still, other…

Solo episode today, baby. In this episode I discussed 3 passages from the book "Untamed" by Glennon Doyle, a book I now truly feel all women should read, especially women going through a major life transition.
