Describe Inside Wink in 10 words or less.
Insightful, uplifting, thought provoking - like talking with friends about good stuff (that’s 11 - we can’t count).
What is your definition of ‘insidewink’? What does it mean to you?
insidewink is the expression of someone’s altruistic passion revealed in the world and the acknowledgment of our connections and commonalities.
What inspired you to start insidewink, first as a website and then as a podcast?
There were so many people doing so many wonderful things in the world and we wanted to share all that good with everyone. It was important for us to embrace the kindness and beauty that is innately present all around us.
What episodes do you recommend people start with?
Honestly, we are so grateful for all our wonderful guests that this is like choosing your favorite child. All our guests offer brilliant insights on a wide variety of topics such as dealing with anxiety, dream guidance, cancer support, talking with angels, and cooking with love.
What do you hope people learn from the show?
How valuable we all are. How we all respond to love and kindness. How uniquely beautiful we are - all part of a tapestry. How a small act of goodness goes a long way.
Your friendship is such a fun aspect of insidewink! Can you share how you became such great friends?
We spend a lot of time together and we talk about our thoughts and feelings knowing that we are safe expressing our vulnerable sides. We are truly seen and heard by each other - without judgment… we encourage each other… and we laugh a LOT… till we cry…
And how has your friendship evolved through this journey?
If it’s even possible - we have more respect, appreciation, and unconditional love for each other. It’s been so much fun meeting and talking with our guests, while witnessing each other’s growth and curiosity. Plus, Jean is trying to teach Alison to cook - so how could good food be bad??
Who is your dream guest?
Michelle Obama, John Oliver, Brooke Shields, Neil De Grasse Tyson
What do you do when you need reminders of the positivity in the world?
We hang around with people we love, take a walk, help a neighbor, look at a sunset, laugh… we always remember to laugh.
Thanks, Jean and Alison!
