The Debbie Nigro Show
Keeping the “Live” in Alive! – This Week’s Wellness Wednesday Recap of the upbeat show and podcast. By Debbie Nigro There’s a massive global shift happening—and it’s all about longevity. Not just living longer… Living BETTER, longer. We’re talking: Adding life to your years Not accepting “my best days are behind me” A whole new chapter mindset Your BEST chapter might be coming… but only if you act like it matters. “Longevity isn’t about adding years to your life—it’s about adding more LIFE to your years.” That’s the whole...

Okay… BIG moment. I'm finally shared something I’ve been working on behind the scenes for almost a year—and let me tell you… it’s one of those “how did this even happen?!” stories that I LOVE. It all started with a random LinkedIn connection. You know how sometimes you just click with someone instantly? That’s exactly what happened when Stephen Caldwell connected with me—serial entrepreneur, big thinker, and now… my partner-in-good-commotion. What started as a simple connection turned into a wildly exciting collaboration built on mutual respect, shared...

Some days on the show just feel good from the first minute… and this was one of them. I kicked off rocking my “Attitude is Everything” mug, reminding myself—and all of you—that good energy is a choice! And on Wellness Wednesday, I’m all about finding ways for us all to feel more alive, more connected, and honestly… more joyful. And guess what? Science says I’m onto something. The Science of Laughter (Yes, It’s a Real Thing!) Came upon a story about—the science behind why we laugh. Turns out… laughter isn’t just about something being funny....

Some people do their best thinking on a walk. Me? I do my best thinking in the shower. So I was thinking in the shower about how “The Most Interesting Man in the World” is back — yes, that guy, Jonathan Goldsmith, returning as the Dos Equis spokesperson after a ten-year hiatus, now with a funny “amnesia” twist and a whole lot of nostalgia. And while I do appreciate a sexy, wise older gentleman with an open collar and a “stay thirsty, my friends” vibe, my shower thoughts flowed to this thought: “Okay… but where is the campaign for “The Most Interesting WOMAN...

When Travel, Humor & Human Connection Collide: A Joyful Conversation with Melissa Rodway Some of the best stories on The Debbie Nigro Show start with a “premonition.” You know… that little voice that says to someone, “I should reach out to Debbie.” And when that voice belongs to someone with great energy, curiosity, and a whole lotta heart? I listen. That’s exactly how I connected with Melissa Rodway—Toronto-based travel storyteller, longtime host of Fly Travel Radio, part-time adventurer, occasional stand-up comic, and author of the five-star Amazon hit The People You...

Some conversations stop you in your tracks—in the very best way. This Wellness Wednesday on The Debbie Nigro Show, I met a man whose story is the definition of still in the game. Meet B.J. Odom—radio veteran, comedian, podcaster, author, and a living, breathing miracle. B.J. has survived two transplants (a heart and a kidney), multiple surgeries, radiation treatments, and a lifetime of medical curveballs that started before he was even two years old. Doctors once told his parents he likely wouldn’t live past his teens. He’s now 70 years young… and funnier than ever. His...

Some of the best radio & podcast conversations start exactly where you don’t expect them to…like poolside in Florida—in bathing suits, no makeup, and not a business card in sight. That’s how I met Kari Berit—in what I call a “Random Run-In.” Kari and her hubby were on two lounge chairs in the sun at a hotel pool in Florida. The only other slice of sun not being blocked by our mutual hotel building was hitting a lounge chair right next to them. This cold, pale New Yorker wanted that only other sunny spot, but I didn’t want to be a too-close lounger (kinda the same as a...

Year-End Giving Reminder: The last few weeks of the year are when most charitable giving happens — people feel more generous, tax benefits kick in for those who itemize, and many folks use year-end bonuses or appreciated stock to support causes they believe in. It’s the perfect moment to make a meaningful impact, especially with an organization that stretches every donor dollar farther than you ever could on your own. Why United Way Might Be One of the Smartest Ways to Give Back To Business Monday You know how I like to start a Monday: a little caffeine, a little...

Once a week I do my best to share information that I come across that might benefit others like me trying harder at "Keeping the Live in Alive!" I've posted the entire live Wellness Wednesday radio show here but in case youre in a hurry, I've summed up this week’s show highlights. #CrepeConfession: My only use of the word 'crepe' used to be in combination with the word 'paper' as in 'crepe paper' until father time starting beating the tar out of my good looks. I didn't realize what a big problem crepe had become for the world. Now I'm doing my part to try and correct...

info_outlineYou Know I Love a Girl Who Risks Her Dreams!
New York-based rising pop starlet Amanda Ayala risked auditioning for NBC's "The Voice" at only seventeen and her life was changed forever. Her new song was just came out and I play a little taste of it here in the interview on my live show the day before it was released.
So happy to introduce you to Amanda.
We bonded over taking risks!
Her 'single' is available on Spotify. It's called 'Seventeen'. It's a nostalgic summer anthem for anyone who misses their youth.
"When people listen to this track I truly hope it takes them back to that age, where they can reminisce on the simpler days when life was just carefree and abundant with those butterfly feelings".
(OMG Amanda don't let me get started about those young hot summer romances)
'Seventeen' is an engrossing pop production that draws parallels to the likes of Taylor Swift. The track was produced by Mark Matter, mixed by Mikaelin 'Blue', and mastered by Randy Merrill.
With two singles that have already reached Top 100 of the iTunes Rock Chart and Top 100 Hot AC, Amanda is well on her way to securing a spot in the limelight as an artist to watch in 2021 and beyond!
I hope you enjoy listening.
Great example of 'Risk It! Or Regret It!' Whatever IT is For you!
