My friend loaned me one of her great mics to try out in my space. So far I’m loving the sound. So I recorded today’s episode with it. What do you think?

Podcast Recap

Gifts can be a blessing or a curse! I ponder how gifts impact us and how it relates to my food issues. One gift I truly enjoy is the ability to record today’s bonus episode with a cool new mic my friend loaned me. I’m mic shopping and it makes a difference to hear them in your own studio. Today’s featured song, Vegan Zombies, comes from our old friend, Josh Woodward.

This is a bunny I gave my mom. It comes from the book, “I love you this much”. I use it in the studio when I want to feel connected in my reads. This was a gift she loved to receive as we often said this phrase with arms outstretched. It was a gift to get it back after she passed away. It’s a gift to have the memories with this little reminder bunny.

I’m feeling great in this moment on the mountain. A last minute decision results in a bonus hike and a bonus episode.

Podcast Recap

I thank our Veterans for their service then muse about the unexpected benefits of mindfulness.

¡Ay, caramba! I decide to make peace with my nemesis, potato chips.

Podcast Recap

Warning! Don’t listen if food talk triggers you. In this 100 percent bonus episode I walk around the park sharing the raw, unvarnished method I use to legalize foods and, in the long haul, reduce my own binge eating behavior. I do this with the support of a therapist. Not recommended on your own if you have binge eating tendencies. Also, Mark and I will be gone off and on for the rest of the year, so don’t worry if shows or replies have a slightly longer gap than usual.

I’m feeling powerful in my new, comfy fitting brassiere and in my, skinny, for me, size 18W’s. I’m not trying to break the internet by the way, and this is as Kim Kardashian as I will ever get!

Laurie in a mic and straw hat holding a water bottle

My traditional selfie at the park. Wired for sound, got my water, time to go off on my walk and see what I have to say.

Laurie's lunch

Lunch after my walk ended up a chip-free affair. Ravioli, Chardonnay, and sliced apple with some coffee and pumpkin ice-cream for dessert (not shown).

Feeling fine wearing my podcaster shirt from my media host, Libsyn. I got it at the NMX conference in Las Vegas. So soft and comfy!

Unexpectedly, a dream of mine comes true, so I unexpectedly record a bonus episode about it, and then, I discuss an equally unexpected food trigger.
