Mahjong may be having a major moment, but for Michelle Dermenjian—better known as Missy Mahjong—it has always been about so much more than the game itself. In this episode, Michelle shares how she turned her love of mahjong into bringing people together through connection, conversation, and a little friendly competition. We talk about the story behind Missy Mahjong, the fundraising events and charitable work she's passionate about, and why games are one of the best ways to unplug and reconnect with the people around us. We also dive into her love of needlepoint, favorite games for every occasion, and all the fun things she keeps in her bag. Whether you're a seasoned mahjong player or have never touched a tile, this conversation is packed with ideas for bringing more fun, friendship, and connection into your life.

Living with Purpose in Every Season: Faith, Family & Health with Shannon Keating

In this episode of Bloom Bright, Kelly sits down with Shannon Keating for a conversation about living with purpose in every season of life. Shannon shares her journey from growing up in a faith-filled, close-knit family to building a life centered around her own values of faith, family, and service. As a wife of nearly 25 years, a mom of four entering the almost–empty nest stage, a Physical Therapist, business owner, and health coach, Shannon opens up about what it really looks like to manage a full life with intention. Together, they talk about staying grounded when life is busy, prioritizing health after years of putting others first, trusting God in big decisions, and finding joy in both the everyday moments and the transitions that come with each new season. If you’re looking for encouragement to slow down, refocus, and live more intentionally, this episode will leave you feeling inspired to bloom bright right where you are.

Perimenopause Unfiltered: Myths, Symptoms & Redefining Midlife with Carmen Rivero

In this episode, I sit down with Carmen Rivero, founder of People Living Healthy and a certified menopause specialist coach, to have a real, honest conversation about what’s actually going on during perimenopause. We’re breaking down the biggest myths, talking through the symptoms no one warns you about—from brain fog and anxiety to sleep and weight changes—and sharing what truly helps when it comes to feeling like yourself again. Carmen brings a unique perspective after spending over 20 years living an active, adventurous life in Southern Spain before returning to the Midwest and stepping into her “third chapter.” Together, we talk about how midlife isn’t something to dread—it’s an opportunity to reset, refocus, and redefine what you want moving forward. We also dive into manifesting your vision in midlife and why this phase of life can be one of the most powerful yet. * * * *
