PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 336 Andrea Suchin Wuggles

Andrea Suchin is a dedicated caregiver advocate, entrepreneur, and the visionary founder of Wuggle™ (https://wuggleme.com/), a wellness company centered on improving nervous-system health through restorative sleep. Her professional mission is deeply rooted in her personal history; after her husband, Craig, was diagnosed with behavioral frontotemporal dementia (FTD) at age 54, Andrea’s world shifted overnight. While raising four children, she transitioned into a full-time caregiving role, navigating the brutal realities of a progressive, terminal illness that stripped away the life she and her husband had built together. The years that followed were defined by extreme stress, sleepless nights, and the profound, anticipatory grief of watching a loved one slowly disappear. As she balanced the complex demands of medical advocacy, financial strain, and protecting her family, Andrea reached a breaking point where her own health began to fail. It was in this "survival mode" that she realized the critical necessity of rest—not just as a luxury, but as a lifeline required to continue the work of love and caregiving.

PeppTalks with Jeanne Pepper Ep 333 Jeremy Hamburgh Social Life 360

Jeremy Hamburgh is a California-based coach and the founder of My Best Social Life, an organization dedicated to helping neurodivergent adults develop the skills necessary to find community, friendship, and romantic connections. Before transitioning into his current role, Jeremy served as a prosecutor in New York City, where he honed his ability to communicate persuasively. He draws a direct parallel between winning over a jury in a courtroom and succeeding in a social setting, noting that skills like telling compelling stories, asking insightful questions, and active listening are magnetic in both environments. Jeremy’s journey into coaching began at the JCC in Manhattan, where he facilitated popular dating workshops. It was during these sessions that he realized many of his attendees were autistic and neurodivergent, leading him to work extensively with the Adaptations Program at the Silver Center for Special Needs. This hands-on experience provided him with invaluable insights, which he used to launch MyBestSocialLife.com and develop his signature Social Life 360 program.

Sunny Stone is a multifaceted artist, producer, and filmmaker whose work is as profound as her journey of survival is resilient. Born in New York, Sunny’s early childhood was defined by unimaginable adversity. After being kidnapped and subsequently abandoned by her mother, who struggled with severe mental illness and substance addiction, Sunny and her older brother were forced to navigate a world that offered them little protection. At just three years old, they were placed in the care of a relative who treated them with cold indifference, forcing them to survive on the fringes of a home where they were permitted only to sleep. Between the ages of six and eight, Sunny endured further harrowing experiences as a survivor of physical abuse and commercial sexual exploitation, all while facing extreme malnutrition in Brooklyn.
