During this episode ...
If you're looking to make a change in your life, big or small, Lisa Brandt's story about the decisions she made to live an authentic life will inspire you to make that change. Lisa also shares how she almost died from a condition called sepsis. She also explains why she is a survivor, and not a statistic, of a condition that is touted as being the most preventable cause of death worldwide.
While sipping a strong sangria, Anita shares why she tosses her sangria at impatient and rude restaurant guests (not literally). Wear a mask and calm the BLEEP down people—we're in the middle of a pandemic! Servers are just trying to keep EVERYONE safe.
During our Good News Chronicles segment, Sheila shares a heartwarming story about how her colleague Steve Saylor reacts while playing a video game with exceptional accessibility features—for the very first time. You won't want to miss it.
Anita spills the sangria as she shares a story about how she made eye contact and waved lovingly at a teenage boy. Oy! This is yet another one of Anita's many "Claire Dunphy" moments. (Ya know, the mom from the hit comedy show Modern Family?)
