A Side of Syrup Podcast - Season 2! - EP014: Finding Energy & Wellness Wherever Life Takes You with Angie Aldape
Introducing our first episode of Season 2
My first job in LA led me to meet Angie. She was herself right from the get go: organized, responsible, and with a beaming smile of sunshine. She immediately put me in her tight circle of friends and in 15 years, hasn’t let me go. For that, I’m incredibly thankful.
While we have many shared interests - traveling, good food & wine, fitness - we’ve each found ways to incorporate wellness into our lives in a way that works just for us, at whatever stage of season of life we’re in.
In this episode, Angie, a Microsoft executive, dives into what works for her and how she keeps healthy and avoids burnout. Angie also has great tips for what to pack while traveling (and well, maybe have an awkward run-in or two with TSA) and how to sleep well.
A Side of Syrup Podcast - EP 013: Finding the Right Light with Molly McCauley
I knew Molly’s work was special right from the get go, but then I met her in person and I’ve been a fan girl ever since. Molly’s creative and soulful and real. She’s always seeking to do better, learn more, and push the boundaries of what it means to be a photographer.
The light that shines through in Molly’s photos and her quick to sell out Make Pretty Workshop’s are straight from the source - Molly herself.
A Side of Syrup Podcast - EP 012: Disrupting the Cookie Category with Kirstyn Shaw
In all seriousness, Kirstyn’s been cooking and feeding those she loves since she was a kid. She knew her gift early and honed it. Bringing joy and love to others in the form of food. Little did she know it then, but she tapped into one of Syrup Coaching’s main tenets of wellness - community - building it as she went. And when she was ready [the pandemic sort of made us ready for anything, right?] she launched a business to bring her gift to the masses. Along the way she disrupted the cookie business, making it fun, collaborating with likeminded people and causes that mattered. Plus, I swear she’s created a new market demand for cinnamon roll cookies.
A Side of Syrup Podcast - EP 011: The Journey to Building Your Wildest Dreams with Shelton Wilder
From retail roots to real estate icon.
Sixteen years ago I was struck by a Southern woman with incredible charisma, gumption, and kindness. She was the kind of person who was going somewhere. Somewhere big. I knew I had to follow along for her ride.
With hard work and tenacity, Shelton has built her company from the ground up. Recruiting talent who has her values and passion for giving back.
One thing I love about Shelton is that she is who she is. She doesn’t hold back or hide anything. Her life’s lessons have fueled her growth and make for an amazing learn & listen.

Answered candidly and openly. Plus, there are some of my favorite products and brands mentioned that I absolutely swear by & have stood the test of time.

A Side of Syrup Podcast - EP 007: A Guide to Understanding Organic and Other Food Label Claims with Shannon Pfeffer of Syrup
After fifteen years in food marketing, I’ve got a thing or two to say about food labels.
Food labels are there for a reason - to keep us safe. However, what is written on pack is often deceiving and dare I say it, unregulated. Not that it’s not totally false. But advertisers and marketers (the ones responsible for the copy on the packaging) tend to push the limits and spin a product in a certain way that’s appealing to the ideal target consumer.
In today’s episode I dive into that “a ha” moment that happened to me when I had to launch a product with light backing behind a bold health claim.
