Coming From The Heart

Christy Cashman, author of The Truth About Horses, shares why it took her 9 years to write the book and what motivated her. We also talk about how her characters came to life in her dreams and her childhood dream of writing a book. From her previous career in acting and producing, Christy has now ventured into creating Kilkea Castle with her husband and founding YouthINK, a creative youth mentorship program. She is also committed to mental health and practices various techniques like writing in a gratitude journal and cold plunge therapy. Thank you, Christy, for being on the podcast and for our wonderful conversations about belonging and abandonment. I look forward to reading the script, meeting for coffee and wine, and enjoying a delicious lunch in Somerville Massachusetts.

Today, I had the pleasure of hosting former Bachelor Ben Higgins on my podcast! Ben is not only incredibly kind, but also authentically genuine. We delved into his philanthropic endeavors, particularly his passion for Generous Coffee and his latest project, Come Sit With Me. This initiative focuses on fostering inclusivity and ensuring that no one feels like an outsider.

During our conversation, I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with Ben and discussing the past three years since his previous appearance on the podcast. He shared some exciting insights about Bachelor Nation and his new role as co-host of the iHeartRadio Almost Famous podcast alongside Ashley Iacoetti. Together, they delve into all things happening in Bachelor Nation, including the latest news about recent Bachelor Joey and Kelsy. We also had the pleasure of discussing OGs Trista Sutter and Bob Guiney, who have joined Almost Famous Podcast offering intriguing insights into the early days of Trista's season and the behind-the-scenes happenings in the mansion.

Ben's book, "Alone In Plain Sight," sheds light on his personal experiences with loneliness, further emphasizing the importance of his newest project, Come Sit With Me. Ben is actively engaged in speaking engagements at schools and corporations, continuing his quest for inclusivity and making others feel valued and included in conversations. His dedication to spreading light, hope, energy, and vibrancy is undeniably one of his life's missions.

I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Ben for graciously sharing his time on the podcast. His platform and passion for positivity have undoubtedly made a significant impact on many individuals. Jess and Wayland are truly fortunate to have him as a loving husband and dog dad.
