Time to Spread Joy (and Maybe Some Deductible Dollars): Who You Givin’ To?
The Debbie Nigro Show
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.

Human Connection Is Medicine. Celebrate “Talk to a Stranger Week” with Pete Bombaci of GenWell
The Debbie Nigro Show
Every once in a while, the universe taps you on the shoulder and says, “Here ya go … this one’s one of yours.” That’s exactly what happened when I discovered Pete Bombaci, Founder & CEO of GenWell, Canada’s Human Connection Movement — and the man behind Talk To A Stranger Week, happening November 24–30 in Canada. As many of you know, I’m the author of How To Talk To Strangers: Advice From a Professional Stranger Talker, so when I found out about Pete’s work, I thought, “Yup. This is my kinda guy. He won't be a stranger for long! "...

Why a Virtual Assistant Might Be the Best Business Decision You Haven’t Made Yet
The Debbie Nigro Show
Are you overwhelmed, overextended, and still thinking “Eh, I’ll just do it myself—it’s faster”? Yes? Well the right answer should be NO. That’s entrepreneur delusion talking. I know I am one and I'm not the best dekgator and yes I too try and do far too many things myself. On The Debbie Nigro Show, I linked up with the fabulous Jenna Eichholtz, partner at VA Growth Solutions, who popped in from Pennsylvania to drop some serious wisdom about delegating like a boss—without actually becoming a bossy boss. Here’s the big takeaway: You don’t need a full team… you...

From Courtroom to Bagel Boss: How Beth George Is Training a New Wave of Bagel Entrepreneurs
The Debbie Nigro Show
I always try and bring the sunshine and some good energy and often I like to bring some good bagels. Today if you use your 'smellavision' link ( only kidding there is none - yet lol ) it smells like fresh bagels! I want you to meet Beth George, former attorney turned bagel whisperer and owner of Bagel-ish in Beacon, NY, and wow… this woman is rising dough and raising entrepreneurs. Beth’s origin story is pure heart: in 2006 she started baking to help her son manage health and behavioral issues—researching the gut–brain connection long before it was trendy. That journey led her...

Sometimes a Simple Act of Kindness Is the Miracle Someone Needs to Move Forward
The Debbie Nigro Show
On this week’s Keeping the “Live” in Alive segment of The Debbie Nigro Show, I was joined by my longtime gal pal (though we’ve never actually met in person!) Linda Arroz, who’s on an inspiring new mission in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Linda is helping raise funds for a short social impact film called Awakening Georgie — a powerful narrative about the hidden struggles of traumatic brain injury (TBI) survivors and the miracles that can come from compassion. “Thirty percent of injury-related deaths in the U.S. are caused by a traumatic brain injury. That’s a lot. We need to...

Ozempic Teeth? My Dentist Weighs In On This Surprising Side Effect
The Debbie Nigro Show
On The Debbie Nigro Show, I like to dig into stories that make you go, “Wait, what?!” This week’s head-turner: “Ozempic Teeth.” Yep, that’s the headline making waves, and I knew I had to call in my go-to expert, Dr. John Castanaro of Castanaro Dental in Yonkers, NY, to help get to ‘the tooth of the matter’. What Are “Ozempic Teeth”? GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy have taken the world by storm for their weight-loss benefits. But dentists are warning about side effects showing up in the mouth. According to Dr. Castanaro: “It’s not the drug...

Montaukila Tequila —a Textbook Case of Entrepreneurial Grit!
The Debbie Nigro Show
On The Debbie Nigro Show, I had the pleasure of spotlighting Simon Cascante, founder of Montaukila Tequila. Boy oh boy his story sure is a shining example of one of my favorite sayings - “Risk It! or Regret It!" Simon skipped college, started bussing tables at the Lobster Roll in East Hampton, and took the long road to launching his own spirit’s brand. No investors. No celebrity endorsements. Just grit, Google, and a dream. That persistence led him to cold-call nearly a dozen distilleries in Mexico until one finally said yes—thanks to a VP who had once vacationed in...

Introducing my brand-new short-form syndicated radio feature:
“Keeping the ‘Live’ in Alive! with Debbie Nigro”
Proudly sponsored by NativePath Collagen — the stuff that’s got me hiking again, baby!
For the past 6 months, I’ve been secretly developing this new ‘thing’’. Figuring out what it should be, how it should sound, and who would be open enough to collaborate with me.
Why this, why now?
Lately, I’ve found myself diving into wellness like never before. Not just for fun (though some of it is hilarious), but because my biological clock feels more like a ticking time bomb these days.
I’m trying to maximize my remaining time on this planet as are many other people I know.
I’m constantly researching and talking about mental wellness, physical wellness, nutrition, longevity, and all the weird and wonderful science behind staying vibrant and ALIVE. And sharing it all on my “Wellness Wednesday” segments of The Debbie Nigro Show just wasn’t enough anymore.
So, I created this new feature — fast-moving, funny, and full of fascinating wellness info — to syndicate nationwide.
AND I’m testing it out in real time.
The Launch 🚀
On Monday, April 7th, I debuted the first of my four “Keeping the ‘Live’ in Alive! with Debbie Nigro” features each which will air 1x a day for 7 days across multiple network shows on the Red Apple Audio Network and its Flagship Station WABC Radio NY. The feature gets personally introduced by high-profile hosts — which, I admit, after listening in from the oustide - gave me a huge kick! (So did all the random high-five texts I got from friends who happened to catch it on-air!)
Enter: NativePath Collagen.
This best-in-class wellness brand stepped up as my first sponsor. And I’m genuinely grateful — not just because they’re backing me, but because their product really works. (More on that below…)
Ready to hear the very first radio feature?
Take a listen and PUHHHLEASE BUY THE COLLAGEN!
It works! and it helps support my good work!
*******************************************************
OK Here’s the transcript of Feature #1
Announcer:
Now here’s “Keeping the ‘Live’ in Alive! with Debbie Nigro” sponsored by NativePath Collagen.
Debbie:
Ever wake up one day and feel like you aged overnight?
You're not imagining it. You did. (lol)
Scientists have now confirmed what we've all suspected. We age in bursts, not slowly, not gradually, but in molecular surprise parties, just without the balloons.
According to research in the Journal of Nature Aging, we hit two major aging jumps, one around 44, another around 60.
That's when your body suddenly goes, Surprise! Here's some wrinkles, and here's maybe a weird pain in your knee.
Researchers followed 108 people for years looking at their DNA, their proteins, even their gut microbiomes. And they found most molecules in the body change in big, accelerated shifts at those exact ages.
In our 40s, fat and muscle start to shift. In our 60s, we start losing more muscle and the risk for things like heart disease and diabetes spikes. Okay, there's good news. Now that we know this, science can help us catch problems earlier and keep us healthier longer. So, if you're 43 or 59, what I would do is… hydrate, stretch, and hang on. I'm Debbie Nigro.
LIVE ENDORSEMENT FOR NATIVEPATH COLLAGEN
Debbie:
I always joke that I'm delusionally young and outrageously fun.
Truth is, I'm blowing a body part a week over here. No joke.
Stopped mid-hike, limped out of the woods alone while my boyfriend kept going because my knee was killing me.
I thought about collagen, and I caught an old friend in a Native Path collagen ad raving about how her knees felt better. She had more energy, her hair, her nails, her skin looked amazing.
So, I got some, started putting it in my coffee every day.
No taste, no lumps.
Now I'm back, walking strong, full of energy.
