KUCI: Get the Funk Out

7/1/19 @9am pst - freelance writer and speaker Cindy Trane Christeson joins host Janeane on KUCI 88.9fm

ABOUT CINDY TRANE CHRISTESON
Twelve years ago Cindy and Amy were driving a van full of Amy’s and her husband Tyson’s belongings from Northern California to Orange County as part of the move to bring Amy and Tyson closer to family in Newport. A dream come true. An exploding tire catapulted the van through a fence, before it rolled three times. Only Cindy survived. Could Cindy survive losing a child, her worst nightmare? Cindy was driving at the time, what would the repercussions be? Could Cindy’s marriage survive?
Part of Cindy’s therapy has been writing, and she is currently finishing her memoir about the surprises of grief, both bad and good. She is eager to offer help and hope by sharing what she has learned on her journey of grief.
Cindy is a freelance writer and speaker to women’s groups. She wrote the weekly Faith column in the Newport Beach Independent for 11 years and before that wrote a weekly column in the Daily Pilot called “The Moral of the Story” for 12 years.

6/10/19 @9:45am pst - Suzanne Johnson joins Janeane to talk about her latest film, The World Without You

Suzanne C. Johnson - Marilyn / Producer
After years of devoting her life to her family, and to nursing, Suzanne Johnson finally listened to her heart and made the leap from being a mother and nurse to following her dream of an acting career. She began her journey by enrolling in acting classes and combing the internet for casting announcements, gamely submitting herself for every part she thought would be a good fit.
In her first feature film, Empty Space, a powerful drama, she was cast as a waitress in a rural diner trapped in an abusive relationship. After that role, she was hooked. A series of parts followed in several shorts, student films and features. Suzanne played a range of roles, including a mother to a dying girl in a faith-based film, the love interest of a sheriff in a rural town, a hippie psychic, and a Southern socialite with a poker fetish. It was a solid start to her film career but she wanted more. What would be the next big step?

ABOUT JASON JORDAN
Your FireStory is My Passion!
When it comes to business, I live for a moment. It is a special moment in any interaction I have with a new client. We are rolling along. I am asking questions. Then...
BAM!!!!
I find the FireStory. I can see it in my client's face. They lean forward, and their cheeks turn red. Their entire demeanor becomes animated. The client radiates commitment, passion, excitement, and dedication rolled up into a fiery ball! We have arrived!!
In nearly 20 years of work in Field Sales, Product Marketing, and Business Development in a variety of industries, I can tell you that these moments were few and far between. We were almost exclusively involved in things like features, advantages, benefits, vision statements, mission statements, TPS reports, core values, and especially financial reports. These didn't inspire much passion, but they did come in handy when I was having trouble falling asleep some nights...

Her soul-searching journey takes her deep into the wilderness: from meditating in an Ayurvedic ashram in southern India to toiling on a vineyard on Mount Etna to going on a solo-safari in southern Tanzania (where she also marries herself-yes, it's a thing).
​This is a book to inspire readers who also want to discover their truest, wildest, most empowered selves.
