Unscripted: A Nolapapa Podcast - Spirit Guides with Cari Roy + Early Arrivals with NICU Nurse Nikki Rockwood

Spirit Guides with Cari Roy + Early Arrivals with NICU Nurse Nikki Rockwood

01/20/23 • 92 min

I got CHILL BUMPS this week y'all! First we're checking back in with the one and only Cari Roy, New Orleans' famed psychic medium, about the guardian angels that stay all around us. Cari tells us how we're beloved by those in other realms, whether we know it or not, and we have spirit guides that can follow us across lifetimes. She gives so many people such peace, Cari even teaches us how to let those angels in to our lives by using meditation to open the door.
Then, it's our new segment "Early Arrivals," where we honor the brave humans that help premature babies and their families (like mine!) manage the first days of a brand new life. We welcome back our friend, Oschner Children's Hospital NICU nurse Nikki Rockwood, to discuss the experience of having a baby in the neonatal intensive care unit, how she helps new parents through the early stages of their baby's fragile life, and how she fell in love with the important work she does at Oschner.

The Gay Mom Behind Pinxav + State Senator Royce Duplessis

This episode we hear the stories of some really inspirational and strong people from our communities.
First, I talk to Jodi Harris, one of two gay sisters behind the incredible lotion company (and one of our beloved sponsors!) Pinxav. As Jodi tells us, her grandparents started Pinxav in the 1920's, and it was such a useful product it's now being used by families all over the nation. Jodi, who is also a mom, tells us about her familial roots in Ohio, how the company was started and continued by her family, and how she's renewed Pinxav's image on social media to bring it into 2023.
Then I talk to NOLA's new State Senator for District 5, Royce Duplessis. We chat about the worrying crime in NOLA and the French Quarter, and we get real and talk about our frustration over the safety of our city. We also discuss how State Sen. Duplessis is going to advocate for LGBT families and communities of color, his thoughts on schools banning certain books, and what inspires him to keep working for the people of NOLA every day.

Which medicines should we be buying for our kids? And what are the differences? We're back this week with our good friend Dr. Jake Kleinmahon, Pediatric Cardiologist at Oschner Hospital for Children in New Orleans, for another "Dr. Jake's Take!" We're talking about getting our babies healthy before Mardi Gras parades kick off. We cover the difference between all those cough syrups, how to make sure you and your parenting partner aren't accidentally overdosing your children on two kinds of Ibuprofen, and some of the super-sweet natural ways we can cure a little one's sore throat.
Then we get to fangirl out over Steve Lewis, owner of Gideon's Bakehouse inside Walt Disney World Florida. Believe me when I say his cookies are to die for! I almost wept eating them!!! Steve tells us how he runs his own social channels with over 200k followers and still has time to come up with delicious new recipes for all his Disney visitors. We also talk about where he gets his inspiration for new recipes, why he loves doing his Friday Pride Day cookies, and what's in store for Valentine's Day, which is just around the corner. Ooh and enjoy that silky-smooth voice, y'all!
