World-Class Sleep Pioneer Says What You Eat Determines How You Sleep
The Debbie Nigro Show
Sleep issues are a BIG deal—just ask someone who’s been up all night involuntarily. More than half of all Americans have difficulty falling or staying asleep. Good sleep is critical for "Keeping the 'Live' in 'Alive'! I had a ‘Random Run In’ with Dr. Marie-Pierre St-Onge, PhD, a nutrition scientist and a pioneer in the field of sleep health. I was on an Amtrak to Boston, and I happened to choose the seat next to her. She was working diligently on her computer. I kept sneaking peaks at the bright fun patterned shirt she was wearing that I finally figured out reminded...

My “Secret” Project Revealed: How a Random LinkedIn Connection Led Me to Alert Pop™ (And Why I’m So Excited About It!)
The Debbie Nigro Show
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...

Keeping the “Live” in Alive! From Laughter Science to Caffeinated Lollipops! Let's Roll
The Debbie Nigro Show
Some days on the show just feel good from the first minute… and this was one of them.

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.

Who is "The Most Interesting WOMAN in the World"? (Surprise! She’s Over 50 and Still in the Game!)
The Debbie Nigro Show
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
The Debbie Nigro Show
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...

More Parts Than a Chicken Nugget—and Still Rocking Life
The Debbie Nigro Show
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...

“Leave It to Norwegians in Florida to Convince Me Cold Weather Is Good for Me”
The Debbie Nigro Show
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...

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. 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...

The Debbie Nigro Show
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_outlineHere's a story about the power of intention! I got looped in to Linda Arroz's latest story when I caught her photo below on her FB page. Linda's from LA and is in what's called a 'looping session' for her character in an upcoming film debuting at the Sundance Film Festival called "Before You Know It" - written and directed by some 'badass women' she says. Linda's got a good story. She began her career in 1979 in Flint, Michigan, working at Chevrolet’s V8 Engine Plant as an assembly line worker, got laid off, and moved to Oklahoma to work at the GM Plant. Went to the University of Oklahoma and worked as an image and career consultant until she was discovered by two reps for the Spiegel catalog, which had just launched a plus-size division. They signed her as a spokesmodel making her one of the first plus-size models to get a contract with a major brand. She went on to be a magazine editor, author, Hollywood stylist , TV personality, and motivational speaker. Recently, (she's now 64), she was wanted to reboot her speaking career etc. so she started adding the following intention to her meditations “I get paid to speak.” ...Then one day... a neighbor stopped by...You can hear the rest of her story Live today on the show at 10am EST 1490 WGCH!
Her power of intention led to a speaking gig in a movie as an actor, and now she's been cast in another film and possibly one more for next year!
Linda sits on the board of Fashion Group International Foundation Los Angeles, is active in architectural preservation, and a member of the Los Angeles Conservancy Modern Committee. At one time she made the “25 Most Powerful Players” a list of influencers and power brokers in the Los Angeles fashion industry, by the California Apparel News.
