SURPRISE! I woke up this morning and decided to make a comeback here on Dancing In The Kitchen podcast. I’ve had it on my mind a lot lately to start the podcast back up and well…today was that day!

Welcome to the Dancing in the Kitchen podcast! Let's get back on the dancefloor and pick up where we left off!  It's crazy how sometimes we have the best intentions but distractions can send us off-course.  On today's episode I am talking about just that...distractions, catching up, and also how seasons change.  A year ago, I would have given up at this point and kept wandering in the dark. But SO much has happened and instead, I'm being inspired by others and getting back behind the mic to shine a little light. That's what this podcast is about, right? Sometimes we get started on something and get distracted, and we realize it's a season.  It's exactly that, a season. A time to change and re-direct our course.  And even though it's not exactly what we had planned, it's exactly where we are supposed to be. Stay tuned because we will have some amazing guests joining us here soon! As always... keep Dancing in the Kitchen! **** **** Let’s connect: Like the podcast?

Welcome to the Dancing in the Kitchen podcast! On today's episode I share some crazy dating stories from my past and what may lie ahead.  Yep, I've decided to jump back into the dating game.  I'll talk about how it used to be in the early days of online dating, and how it is today.  While I intentionally took a break for the past two years, it might be nice to have someone to share life's adventures with (even though I've been adamantly fighting it)...so maybe it's time to check it out again.  But dating at this age and in this crazy time we're living in, it's hard!  So I will trust the process and see where it leads.

Welcome to Dancing in the Kitchen! And welcome to Season 2 with our first conversation where we will follow our dreams, literally.  On this episode you will hear how Caryn McCleskey pivoted from the direction she was heading and eventually found herself doing dream interpretations for friends and is now creating a new business.  It's fascinating how our dreams can indicate what is happening in our waking life and how they can guide us to answer questions for which we seek meaning. We talk about common dreams that many of us have and what they symbolize.  From being back in school, teeth falling out, bathroom dreams, when we are falling down or flying, and even dreams about food...we just touched on a few highlights. Would you like to know the meaning of your dreams?  Follow Caryn @caryndreams over on Instagram and stay tuned for what she has coming up, or you can schedule a 1:1 dream interpretation.  Make sure to catch her next workshop "Dream Interpretation Circle" on Sunday, August 28 4:00-5:00 PM EDT - you can register on her IG page. In the meantime friends... keep Dancing in the Kitchen! **** **** Let’s connect: Like the podcast? Subscribe and leave a review!  Or send a voice message right here on this page.

On this episode we are looking back over the past eight months since we started the podcast and talk about who we've met and what we've learned.  You met my family (mostly during my birthday month), #thefunnyfitnesstrainer Kelly Bailey, we talked about gut health and how my friend Terry Thomsen created @FeelGoodDough, you listened in on Happy Hour with My "Got Your Back Girls", we danced...lived life uncorked...did coaching through art...got in touch with our feelings...let go of the paper weight...learned a new way of eating...learned to dance with the fear and use our voice...dreamed about our solo destination in Bali...prepared for the empty nest...and had conversations with some adorable kiddos!!  WHEW! Next, I look ahead and give a little peek of what to expect this season.  We will pack our bags and follow our dreams, and learn what they mean, you will meet a Super Hero, and more new friends to be announced.  I thank you from the bottom of my heart for tuning in each week and I'd REALLY love, love, love it if you shared the podcast with someone you think would enjoy it.

Welcome back to Dancing in the Kitchen podcast! Hopefully you are enjoying summer as much as I am!!  I wanted to pop on real quick and let you know that I am taking a little bit of a break here on the podcast so I can focus and enjoy living this summer!  But I'm not going away, just living in the moment.  I will still be showing up in the Facebook group, Dancing in the Kitchen Podcast and on social media…where I’ll be sharing what I’m up to on this exciting journey and where God is leading me. And I may do a pop-up episode and call it the summer series…so make sure you’re subscribed and don’t miss it. On today's episode I'm sharing a couple of updates and encouraging you to live your life without regrets.  Make sure you tap into your intuition and follow that feeling in your gut, because sometimes things may not appear to be what you think they are.  Remember to live your life as if it’s your last breath on this earth. Dance, sing, create your art, fashion, or music, play, cook, bake, LOVE! Do it all!!  And always keep Dancing in the Kitchen. **** **** Let’s connect: Like the podcast?

Welcome back to Dancing in the Kitchen podcast! Today's episode turned out to be an impromptu lesson on planning ahead and having a backup plan.  Since the episode I had originally planned for today didn't quite work out, I wanted to share with you some things I've learned on this crazy journey during my move.  You'll just have to listen in to hear what they are...but I will tell you, we are never to old to keep learning!! P.S.  I mentioned my friend Tamar Prager (again) and how helpful she was for me to let go of the paper and things that no longer serve me.  Please check her out to see if she can help you too!  You can find her here:  tamarprager.com  ***** ***** Let’s connect: Like the podcast?

Welcome to Dancing in the Kitchen podcast! Hey friends! I hope you’re enjoying the start to your summer as much as I am! Today we have another fun conversation with a smart, witty, and adorable kiddo that has had an impact in my life. Today you will meet Miss Lili. You may remember her momma, from Episode 13: Doing Life With Danielle Mixon. Danielle and her husband, Joseph, host a life group from Grace Church Medina East Campus. I am so grateful they shared their family with me. I am already missing them...and the snacks. Go back and listen and y'all will know what I’m talkin’ about.   In our chat you will hear Lili's natural leadership when she talks about her three siblings, and also about achieving your goals.  She has a great appreciation for music, baking, and friendship.  We talked a lot about her time away at church camp, which is where she is as this hits the airwaves. This girl is going places!! I have no doubt she will do BIG things! Lili and I have always had a connection through our love of baking and cupcakes and I will always remember that conversation about achieving our goals. She is wise beyond her years (and I’m sure her momma will attest to that!) Closing out the episode today, we will get in touch with our 10 year-old self.  What would you tell her (or him)?  I share with you some great insights that I discovered when asking this question, and how you can apply them today as an adult also.  Getting in touch with our inner-child can absolutely help you to discover what it is we should be doing, where we should be going, and how to ENJOY THE JOURNEY ALONG THE WAY. ***** ***** Let’s connect: Like the podcast?

Welcome to Dancing in the Kitchen podcast! Can you believe it’s already June? The kiddos are out of school and lots of people are taking vacations again!! WOOHOO! Do you remember when you were a kid and you just did what made you happy? Did you run through the sprinklers in the summer or play in the rain? We need to grasp those moments of happiness and joy and hold on to them just like we're kids because tomorrow is never promised! So I thought we would Jump for Joy into June and talk with some fun little humans that have made an impact on my life, and then talk to some amazing people I’ve been meeting who are well on the opposite end of the age spectrum. I think someone needs to remind them that they have aged.. orrr…maybe not! Because they keep living it up as though they’re kids. I love how everyone here has tapped into their inner child and lives each day to the fullest. This week's episode will kick off a series about KIDS and finding our own inner-child. Before I moved, I sat down with my great-niece Cecelia (we call her Cece) to have a fun little chat and can't wait for you to meet her! She’s a soon-to-be 7 year old that thinks she is 17. I love her so much. I also love the perspective that kids have about food and what makes them happy.  She tells me about her favorite foods, and her least favorite (we share the same dislike of a family tradition at our "feasts" as she calls it...aka, the holidays), and she tells me what she wants to be when she grows up.  This was such a FUN conversation.  I miss her already! We close out today's episode with a quick version of an exercise to help find your inner-child, and listen to what your younger self has to say.  Stay tuned this month as we continue to tap into that practice of just having fun...like a child. ***** ***** Let’s connect: Like the podcast?

Welcome back to Dancing in the Kitchen podcast! We are wrapping up our Motivationally MOVING through May and talking about that next chapter of an empty nest.  I am literally moving from Ohio to Florida as we speak!  I cannot believe I am about to step out in faith into the next chapter of my life. I have no idea what it’s going to look like and I’m super excited to see where God leads me! One thing I do know is that I will use what I’ve learned over this past year and continue to grow, even if that means to fail forward. It’s perfect timing to have today’s conversation with my friend, Brenda Lenweaver. Brenda is not quite in the empty nest phase yet, but she’s getting ready. When she was looking for groups to interact with and/or give advice to prepare for the next chapter she couldn’t find anything to fit her needs. So she created her own group…called Next Chapter Empty Nest. It’s a group for those who want to prepare for when their kids leave home, making it a positive experience to meet their own goals and try new things!  I wish I had a group like this to get me prepared for what to expect. If you are approaching that empty nest phase and are looking for a fun place to get prepared, check out Brenda and her Facebook Group Next Chapter Empty Nest, and she’s also on Instagram with that same name. She also has a podcast Next Chapter Empty Nest but is taking a brief break to prepare for her summer series called “The First One Leaves the Nest” as her daughter is getting ready to leave for college.  Brenda will be sharing with us her adventures and how it’s all working out with the family. ***** ***** Let’s connect: Like the podcast?
