Talking Smack 415

In this episode of Talking Smack 415, Jamie the Great and I chat with our friend from high school, JT Birds. JT 's a bird watcher who goes birding every day. He leads tours and is on a mission to share as much about birds as possible. He'll inspire you to tune in and care about your habitat and the planet to change the way you move through the world. We fly right in with lots of bird puns as JT shares his metamorphosis and perspective shift that emerged from the pandemic.

We talk about:

• Being present
• Meditation
• Photography
• Videography
• Barry Manilow
• His future plans or birding

And we even fly way back to our past lives and roots and chat about our Yiddish names.

Grab your earbuds and binoculars and head outside to listen and tune in to the birds.

Please share with your nature-loving friends and family.

You can find all things JT Birds on jtbirds.net and on insta @JT_Birds

Jamie the Great is back on Talking Smack 415 a mere five weeks post major cancer surgery. To remind you, they removed part of Jamie the Great's jaw and rebuilt it with a bone in her leg. Now she's back on the mic, recording her story to share with you.

In this episode, we chat about:

• How phenomenal her husband Andy has been
• How awesome her entire family has been
• All the love from you that is helping heal her
• Last day of work
• Surgery & feeding tubes
• TV
• Surrender, a total relaxing of the nervous system & calmness
• Throat & third eye chakra
• Healing with her dogs

And, in the spirit of doing it messy, we continue recording through our technical glitch.

Leaving you with this.... all Jamie the Great needs right now is space for her to heal along with your continued love. Keep sending those love vibes because she feels it!

xo,
