This week, Ghost Tour Manager and Paranormal Investigator, Christy Parrish, joins us to share her journey into the paranormal which began when she experienced what she terms extreme hauntings at her home in Tennessee. After relocating to Massachusetts for her “day job”, she was drawn to The Oliver House and became heavily involved in ensuring the property and, more importantly, the energies that reside there would never be forgotten.

She is a frequent speaker at paranormal events, highly sought-after for her ingenuity in raising funds to help the town of Middleboro, Massachusetts maintain the property and has a deep connection to all of the families who once called The Oliver House home. She leads a group of volunteers committed to sharing the history of the home, its significance to The Revolutionary War and learning what really happened within those four walls, from the energies who continue to reside there.

Join our Facebook Community below to attend an exclusive online event Halloween night from 8:00 - 9:00PM EST! Attend the event and be entered to win Oliver House giveaways, including an opportunity to be a part of an overnight paranormal investigation of the property!

Lauren Croteau, Pastry Chef and owner of Lully Cakes, joins us this week and shares how her childhood love of baking and cake decorating led her to the pastry program at Johnson and Wales and eventually to starting her own business. Along the way, Lauren struggled to find balance and was wise enough to press pause and chart a slightly different course which may include taking her baking show “on the road”!

This week we’re debuting a new special feature, “Gems with Joey”, musings from the perspective of an eight-year-old. Stick around after our conversation with Lauren to hear Joey explain Bucket Dippers and Bucket Fillers!

Don't miss some of the funniest moments with our guests! We're sharing bonus clips and bloopers from our 2021 episodes. Most clips haven't aired, but we included a few that did to make you laugh all over again. We've also got lots of our own bloopers that let you peek behind the scenes and hear our mess ups, flubs and hysterical laughter when we couldn't keep it together.
We've closed out 2021, which will always stand out to us as the year we launched the podcast! As we've shared before, we are technology-challenged middle-agers so our learning curve was steep! We're living proof you CAN teach an "old chick" new tricks and we'll laugh all the way through the frustrations.

Alisa Conway accepted a volunteer high school coaching opportunity and had no idea how pivotal that choice would become for her. Coaching high school athletes was the stepping stone for her to move from accounting and into the world of fitness. Alisa is a highly respected and sought after fitness coach who, through her multiple certifications, helps her clients achieve their wellness goals in mind, body and spirit.

Focusing on her clients’ personal achievements, recognizing that on some days just showing up to class is an accomplishment and encouraging each client to outdo themself, not others in class, are the many ways she creates a “no judgement” zone and allows her clients to discover what they are truly capable of achieving.
