Hey all. With everything going on, it feels insignificant to create and post content as if nothing is going on. As much as I love interviews, anime, and fun things, I don’t want to talk about that much less want to see it. I’m tired. I’m angry. I’m hurt. However, I understand that as someone with a platform, I can’t sit by idly. I’m motivated to post and record this so I can inform my listeners on ways they can help support Black Lives Matter, the protesters, and the Black community. I also want to share information on ways to take care of yourself. I don’t have the answers but I do have a voice that I want to use to amplify the Black voices around me and nationally.

“You live in your 20s and write in your 30s.” Adam Richter is most known for his work as a journalist for The Reading Eagle and his punny tweets.

The one thing I love the most about David Nazario is that he is always true to himself. And in being true to himself, his feelings, and his journeys, he’s taught me (and countless others) to do the same. So it’s no coincidence that whenever he comes on the podcast, it’s not just an interview; it’s always a candid conversation where the listeners and I walk away with a deeper understanding of him and ourselves, as well as life. On this episode, we skip the formalities and jump right into our regular exchange. We talk about life, love, career, discovery, and loss.

Tyler Washington recently did the thing they tell you not to do. He quit his “9-5 job” to freelance and work on his passions full-time. I had invited him on the show a few months ago, before he made his step in his journey, but the timing of when he came on couldn’t have been more perfect. Tyler and I had such an amazing conversation about being creatives, working on our passions, influencer culture, and so much more. As always, I walked away from this conversation feeling so invigorated and inspired to keep doing what I love and I’m sure, you will feel the same after listening too.

Cory and Nicol are some of the biggest faces of the natural hair movement in Reading, PA. They started The Curly Sisterhood (along with their third partner, Jiolka) back in 2017 and it has since changed the game in Reading.

But this year, Cory and Nicol have taken their love of natural hair to the next level by beginning to develop their own hair care line. They join me on the podcast to talk about their journey to developing this hair care line but as always, the conversation transformed itself into an amazing conversation on starting a business, sisterhood, support, dreams, and so much more.

Jamie Odegaard is many things and does many things but as she describes on the podcast, she doesn’t like labeling herself. However, you may recognize her from my “Who to Watch in 2019” list, from being a Yoga instructor, and for being a positive light on your Twitter and Instagram feed. As someone going through a period of self-discovery, mentally, spiritually, and physically, it was crucial for me to have Jamie on to talk about these things.

In this episode we discuss how he got into drag, the local Reading drag scene, being a Latino Drag Queen, and much much more!

The L words: Latina and Lesbian. While being a member of the LGBTQ+ community is becoming more and more acceptable in America, some cultures still view it as a sin or something that morally wrong. So when you are Latina and a lesbian, it can be hard to be open at home with your family. On this week’s episode of The Wonder of Ivy Podcast, I am joined by a great friend Beldy Ramos to discuss this very thing. We talk about being gay in a conservative family and coming out, the biases we have towards members of the LGBTQ+ community, and so much more.

We’re all good people, I think. But sometimes we can be guilty of writing off someone due to their lifestyle, their background, or their appearances. When someone suggested I interview this week's guest, I immediately had reservations. However, after meeting and talking to him, I realized I had it all wrong. It’s easy to write someone off, judge a book by a cover. What takes work is getting past that, opening your mind and giving people chances.
