Hey everyone, it’s Vanessa, and I’m so excited to be back behind the mic for this episode of Tri State Time Machine! I know I’ve been away for a while, and in this episode, I get real about what’s been happening in my life. I open up about struggling with grief and depression after losing my mom and my cohost, W.G., and how that’s shaped my recent journey.

I also share some funny work stories—like the time a second grader surprised me with her “Ridin’ Dirty” impression—plus, what it’s really like coaching my daughter’s volleyball team (spoiler: it’s both terrifying and awesome). I get honest about the ups and downs of social media, the importance of friendships, and how meaningful it is to have my sister back home.

There’s so much happening in our Tri State community, too! I talk about exciting changes in Huntington, upcoming events like Ninth Street Live, and even tease a collaboration with the Watch for Deer podcast. I also let you in on my search for a new cohost—and why finding someone who just “clicks” isn’t as easy as it sounds.

So if you’ve missed the laughs, the honesty, and that Tri State nostalgia, tune in for this episode—this is the update you’ve been waiting for!
