Signs, Synchronicities & Testing the Universe with John Edward

World-renowned psychic medium John Edward joins Italian Bred: At The Table for our final featured guest conversation—and it's one we'll never forget. Over a meal filled with laughter, stories, and heartfelt moments, Candice and John discuss how different cultures navigate grief, why the universe may send us signs through repeating numbers and everyday moments, and what happens when you start "testing" the universe for answers. They also bond over their deep love for their grandmothers, the women who shaped them, and the lasting impact family has on who we become. More than a conversation about connecting with those we've lost, this episode is a celebration of family, tradition, faith, and the invisible threads that keep us connected. John has officially earned a permanent seat at the Italian Bred table.

Comedy, Culture & Why Red Sauce Always Wins with Gianmarco Soresi

This week on Italian Bred: At The Table, I'm joined by comedian Gianmarco Soresi for a hilarious conversation about family, identity, and the stories that shape us. We dive into what it means to be a self-proclaimed "pizza bagel"—half Italian, half Jewish—growing up between two cultures and in a divorced household. Gianmarco shares some of the most outrageous things his family has said around the holiday dinner table, why he's a red sauce guy through and through, and how those chaotic family moments became comedy gold. Plus, we geek out over theater, with Gianmarco making the case for why Nine is one of the greatest musicals ever written. It's a funny, heartfelt conversation about food, family, Broadway, and finding humor in the beautifully dysfunctional people who raise us. 🍝 Pull up a chair—you're officially At The Table.
