Real Life with Toni Reece and Guest Beth Garrigan

Real Life with Toni Reece and Guest Scott Hoh

Joining us on Real Life is Scott Hoh of Resolution Law Group.  None of us like to think about losing a loved one, but eventually every family faces that reality.  When it happens, grief often arrives at the same time as confusion, paperwork, decisions, deadlines, and family dynamics.  Today’s conversation with Scott Hoh is about helping families understand what happens after someone passes away, how to avoid common mistakes, and why planning ahead can be one of the greatest gifts we leave behind for the people we love.

Real Life with Toni Reece and Guest Beth Garrigan

My guest today has dedicated her life to standing beside people during some the of the most difficult moments they will ever face.  Moments of fear. Moments of uncertainty.  Moments when having someone who will listen, believe, advocate and help can make all the difference.  Beth Garrigan is the CEO of SAFE Berks, an organization that provides hope, safety, advocacy and support to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault throughout Berks County.  Beth’s story reminds us that resilience is often more complicated than it appears, that asking for help is a sign of strength and that one person willing to listen without judgment  can change the trajectory of someone’s life.

Real Life with Toni Reece and Guest Monica Reyes

Monica Reyes is the Vice President for Programs and Initiatives at the Berks County Community Foundation, where she helps oversee grant making and community programs that impact countless lives throughout our region.  Monica’s story reflects the experiences of so many people in our communities.  It’s a story about opportunity, resilience, believing in yourself and choosing to use your talents to make a difference.  Monica’s journey was not an easy path but with gratitude for the sacrifices her immigrant parents have made for their family and the hard working values and the spirit of always giving back, Monica believes investing in people and communities can change lives.

Real Life with Toni Reece and Guest Rachel Adams

Many people dream about owning their own business.  They imagine being their own boss, creating something unique, and building a life around their passion.  What they don’t see are the early mornings, late nights, difficult decisions, financial risks, and sheer determination it takes to turn that dream into a reality.  My guest is Rachel Adams, Owner, Rachel’s Cafe and Creperie in downtown Lancaster, PA.  Rachel had a vision for a small cafe unlike anything else around.   Her story reminds us that passion, hard work, and a commitment to serving others can create something extraordinary.

Real Life with Toni Reece and Guests Chris Cappel & Marty Brintzenhoff

Success often looks seamless from the outside.  We see the titles, the positions, and the accomplishments.  What we don’t see are the years of learning, adapting, taking risks, overcoming obstacles and saying yes to opportunities when they appear.  In this episode we talk to Chris Cappel, General Manager, Stokesay Castle and Marty Brintzenhoff, Cocktail Creator, Stokesay Castle.  This conversation matters because everyone is on a journey.  Whether you are building a career, leading a team, considering a new opportunity, or simply trying to find your place in the world, there are lessons to be learned from people who have dedicated themselves to growth, excellence and service.
