In this episode of Made of More, host Chris Erdman sits down with Chloe May Lamenzo, a former professional soccer player and co-founder of Golden Nova Agency, to discuss the intersection of personal growth and entrepreneurship. Chloe shares stories from her unique "hippie" upbringing and alternative education, explaining how she learned to separate her identity from her career and "reprogram" her mind to move from negative self-talk to an abundance mindset. The conversation dives into her strategies for business and connection, including her "sniper" approach to networking that focuses on observation and quality over quantity, as well as her passion for helping businesses achieve sustainability by adapting to rapid changes in technology and the economy.

The holidays can often bring out feelings of nostalgia, some sweet and some more melancholy.  We often reminisce about some of those who have left us, while still appreciating what we do have. Today Marilyn spoke about the wonderful pets she has had throughout her life and how each one brought something different to the table and co-created their own “story”. And how the dogs she has now are doing what they do best—being themselves, showing love, and bringing smiles.  The main thought—each animal we bring into our lives will bring us something unique and special if we just give it time to develop and grow.  Wishing all peace, joy and love this holiday season!

LHMF 12-23-25 Pups Past and Present

In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Mothers Justice Show, guest host Chukundi Salisbury Sr. sits down in studio with his brother, journalist and media founder Omari “Big O” Salisbury, for a wide-ranging conversation that moves seamlessly between legacy, accountability, and the urgent need for truth in public storytelling.

The discussion traces the launch of The Big O Show and its place within the Converge Media ecosystem—but quickly turns to the unresolved trauma of the 2020 Seattle protests and the devastating case of Antonio Mays Jr., the 16-year-old who was killed in the CHOP. Omari recounts, in detail, his recent court testimony and the shocking revelation that he unknowingly captured Antonio on video days before his death—footage that challenges the City of Seattle’s long-standing narrative and raises profound questions about justice, memory, and whose voices are allowed to be heard.

This episode is not performative, and it is not sanitized. It is a raw, principled conversation about grief, integrity, media responsibility, and what it means to stand on truth even when it comes at a cost. Grounded in family, community, and lived experience, this is an essential listen for anyone who wants to understand the real human stakes behind headlines, protests, and policy.

Listen in full to hear the stories that were nearly erased—and why telling them still matters.

On this edition of Shmooze Radio (originally aired 12/23/09) Rabbi Elazar Bogomilsky brings you his message on Parshat Vayigash.

Shmooze Radio - Parshat Vayigash.

This episode of  Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team opens with Bec’s “In the News” segment, spotlighting Burberry’s latest marketing campaign, and its refreshingly relatable message: luxury lives in every moment. Featuring iconic British stars like Olivia Colman stepping into very ordinary roles, including working behind the counter at a classic fish and chips shop, the campaign reminds us that beautiful things are meant to be worn, used, and enjoyed, not saved for someday.

 

Inspired by that philosophy, the conversation turns to stylish and thoughtful holiday gift ideas that strike the perfect balance between indulgence and practicality. From cozy indoor footwear and elegant gloves to sumptuous cashmere and chic travel accessories from Longchamp, the team shares pieces that feel special without feeling precious. These are gifts designed to elevate everyday life and actually get used.

 

As always, the episode blends style insight with real-world wearability, offering a timely reminder that great style isn’t about waiting for the right moment, it’s about making the moment right. 

Wisdom From The Wardrobe 12-01-25 Everyday Luxury, Wrapped and Ready

On this episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, Bec delivers the “In the News” with a story that proves fashion doesn’t always take itself too seriously. Enter the unexpected collaboration between BEIS and Chipotle: an eleven-piece luggage and accessories collection designed, apparently, to transport Chipotle to any destination effortlessly and chicly. From a napkin sling to a burrito-inspired crossbody and a full duffle bag, the team breaks down the buzz, the branding, and the growing appetite for playful fashion collaborations.

 

From there, the conversation shifts to one of the most requested topics of the season: dressing for holiday gatherings. The stylists unpack what to wear for everything from ugly sweater invites and neighborhood get-togethers to office parties and more polished celebrations. Comfort is key, especially when non-breathable fabrics and long evenings are involved, but style doesn’t have to be sacrificed. The team shares what they’re seeing in stores right now, including plenty of sequins, cashmere, and velvet in every form.

 

It’s a practical, timely guide to navigating holiday dressing with confidence, comfort, and just the right amount of festive flair.

Wisdom From The Wardrobe 12-08-25 Festive Fits Without the Fuss

On this episode of Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team turns its attention from getting dressed to setting the scene. Bec kicks off the episode with an “In the News” segment that feels perfectly timed, spotlighting one of the biggest holiday decorating trends of the season: the return of the “Ralph Lauren Christmas.” Think cozy, traditional luxury with rich textures like velvet and wool, classic tartans, deep heritage colors, warm metals, and natural elements that feel collected rather than overdone. Best of all, it’s a look that can be recreated without a luxury budget.

 

Inspired by this trend, the conversation moves into low-effort, high-impact ways to style your home for the holidays. From greenery placed with intention to simplifying surfaces, layering in texture with throws and pillows, choosing one signature seasonal scent, and letting lighting and candles do the heavy lifting, the team shares approachable ideas that make a home feel warm and welcoming without turning it into a winter wonderland.

 

They also dive into easy upgrades for hosting, including table linens that elevate space instantly, modern neutral holiday palettes that stand the test of time, and a rapid-fire round of five-minute refreshes to pull everything together just before guests arrive.

 

It’s a practical, stylish guide to holiday home styling that proves you don’t need more décor,  just better decisions.

Wisdom From The Wardrobe 12-15-25 Low Effort, High Impact Holiday Décor Edition

This week on Wisdom From The Wardrobe, the team kicks things off with Bec’s “In the News” segment, where one classic shoe staple officially takes a backseat. According to current fashion chatter, black pumps are now considered nearly unnoticeable, and the color quietly stepping into the spotlight this winter is white. From crisp bright white to soft ivory and ecru, the trend isn’t about matching tonally, but about pairing lighter footwear with darker, more grounded ensembles for contrast that feels fresh and modern.

 

From there, the conversation turns to real life dressing during one of the busiest weeks of the year. What are we actually wearing right now when days stretch from morning errands to cooking, hosting, traveling, and socializing. How to balance comfort with looking intentional, and why it’s more than okay to opt out of over-styled expectations altogether.

 

They also share their current wardrobe rotations, the hero pieces pulling extra weight this week, the shoes they’re living in, and the go-to formulas that make getting dressed easier when time and energy are in short supply. It’s a refreshingly honest look at style that works with your life, not against it.

 

It’s a practical, honest conversation about seasonal style that works hard, feels good, and still looks pulled together, no costume changes required.
