Join us in the episode as we chat with Melanie Watson about going ‘all in’ in life and wellness. In 2021, Melanie opened an actual gym in the midst of Covid to help support the women and men of Midlothian. We chat about the importance of strength, both mentally and physically, and the power of community.

Tune into this episode as we chat with Felicia Brantner, the co-founder of the Ask Midlothian Moms non-profit and Facebook group. We chat about the idea of building community, the history of Ask Midlothian Moms, and how it's evolved into a GIANT giving-back organization.

More about Felicia
Felicia was born here in the RVA area and left her position with a medical malpractice law firm in Rocketts Landing to become a stay-at-home mother while her five boys (two sets of twins, plus one) were smaller. During that time, Felicia (along with a few others) helped to create and cultivate the Ask Midlothian Moms online community.

Now, Felicia dedicates herself to the community by coordinating annual drives for back to school, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, along with running the Pineapple Pantry for local women and children in need.  This group, along with the now non-profit "Midlothian Moms", is her passion project and life calling.

Spring is here and summer is approaching which means - staycations! Yes, yes, you'll likely take a traditional vacation or two, but in this episode, I'm chatting with Miranda Anderson about how to plan a staycation with intention. Tune in to hear the questions to ask yourself (and your fellow staycationers) to ensure your own needs are met, some ideas on how to get a vacation-feel in everyday life, and, of course, some of the local spots to add to your staycation list.
