Two Porches and A Pour Podcast: Season 2 – Episode 3
Shifting Gears: Navigating Changes in Lives and our Podcast
Join me and my Co-Host Wendy McMonigle from WM Design House every Wednesday on our Podcast “Two Porches and a Pour”.
We live 2000 miles (ca. 3,219 km) apart from each other and wish we could spend our Wednesdays on each other’s porch in real life, but instead we are doing the next best thing. We are chatting with each other about everything from Life & Love to Design and everything in between.
Not only that, but we are also sharing with you each week what we are sipping from our front porch.
What You Will Hear in This Episode:
In this heartfelt episode of “Two Porches and a Pour,” Wendy McMonigle and Lynn Vogeler navigate through a series of personal challenges and emotional moments.
They discuss the sudden passing of a mastermind member’s husband and its profound impact, share updates on personal health battles, and reflect on the importance of community and support.
As the podcast moves forward, listeners can expect some changes, including the addition of guest co-hosts who will join Lynn through the end of the year.
Meanwhile, Wendy, Lynn, and their mastermind group are looking ahead to a special gathering at Wendy’s home in Southern California at the end of September—a time to reconnect, reflect, and lean on the strength of friendship amidst life’s unpredictabilities.
