Today's podcast features Catherine Anaya, a name you may recognize from the local news in the past. Catherine is a journalist, motivational speaker, media personality with 25+ years as a TV news anchor, event host and emcee, co-hosts a weekly radio show and is the founder of multimedia company, 4Hearts Media LLC.
She describes her journey from college at USC, to her first job as a news anchor in Texas, to Channel 12 in Phoenix in 1992, then back to LA for four years, then finally wound up back in Phoenix where she worked as an anchor for Channel 5 news for 12 years and an award-winning columnist.
Mark & Catherine discuss the balance they've had to find while juggling their work, passions, family and health and why it's important to "step off the hamster wheel" and reflect on your past accomplishments, failures, lessons, etc. Catherine discusses the hard decision to step away from her lifetime of anchoring and what it was like to transition into a new path for her future, and the exciting things she's been involved with since!

Checking in with Elizabeth Wholey in Umbria, Italy

This episode of Inspiring Living features one of our dear friends from Umbria, Italy, Elizabeth Wholey. We met Elizabeth many years ago during our Candelaria Design Tour Italy adventures and she has been our on-site chef and host for over ten years now when we stay at her Farmhouses while in Umbria.
This is Elizabeth's third appearance on our podcast and she gives us an update on how things are going there in Italy with the whole Covid-19 Pandemic. It is very interesting to get her perspective on how Italy has been dealing with the pandemic, especially over the course of the recent holidays, and shares her thoughts on how this might play out over the course of 2021.
We have scheduled our 2021 Candelaria Design Tour Italy thinking and hoping we might be able to pull it off this year. This will be our 16th Tour Italy over the last 20 years, so you do not want to miss being a part of this experience and get to meet Elizabeth for yourself. Our dates are set for September 15th - 29th starting in Florence, a week in Umbria and Tuscany, and finishing with a stay at the Villa d'Este on Lake Como.

Targeting individual students, Elevate Phoenix provides curriculum and support to aid students at risk of dropping out of school, through meaningful mentorships, relationships, opportunities and experiences that shape students into the young adults we know they can be. Elevate employs a holistic approach to meet each child’s needs, which means full-time salaried teacher-mentors, year-round programming, cross-age mentoring and a long-term relational approach in four areas: accredited classes, mentoring, reading & literacy, and graduation and post-secondary plans. Elevate serves roughly 4500 students per year who achieve a 98% graduation rate with 100% of the students having post secondary plans.
Join us in growing their programs across the entire Phoenix Union High School District, consider joining as a mentor or guest speaker, or donate and receive an Arizona tax credit up to $400 for single filers and $800 for married/joint filers. Their mission and their success rate are absolutely amazing and we have been so grateful to see firsthand how together we can make a difference in these children's lives and in our community.
