Podcast Overview

There’s something about a plate of fries and a glass of wine that makes people open up. This podcast captures that magic. Every week, host Mel invites a friend, or stranger, to share fries, sip wine, and have a heart-led conversation about… well, anything. No scripts. No structure. Just real talk. Some episodes are light and playful. Others go deep without warning. But every episode feels like you’re sitting across the table with us — dipping fries, sipping wine, and having one of those conversations you never want to end. Pour a glass, grab some fries, and listen in.

Picking Up Where We Left Off (with Nicole)

<p>This week on Fries &amp; A Glass of Wine, I’m sitting down with my friend Nicole—someone I’ve known since university, but hadn’t actually caught up with in years. And somehow, within minutes, it’s like no time has passed.</p><p>We get into everything: destination weddings in Italian castles, travel highs and lows (from luxury stays to food poisoning), and the reality behind solo trips that don’t always go as planned. Along the way, we unpack how our lives have evolved, what’s shifted since our early twenties, and how certain friendships can pick right back up—no matter the gap.</p><p>It’s nostalgic, honest, and a little chaotic—in the way only long-overdue catch-ups can be.</p><p><br></p>

A Portfolio Life (and a Few Public Failures)

<p>From college athletics to ESPN commentary, Lululemon leadership, and now coaching—Sydney’s career path is anything but linear.</p><p>Over fries and wine, Mel and Sydney talk about what it actually looks like to build a “portfolio career,” how community can follow you across cities and chapters, and why failure - especially the very public kind - ends up being your greatest teacher.</p><p>This episode dives into identity, performance, body image in fitness culture, and the art of listening (to others and yourself). It’s honest, a little chaotic, and a reminder that you’re allowed to evolve… as many times as you need to.</p>

Over fries and wine, they explore career pivots, grief, nervous system regulation, and the quiet signals life sends when it’s time for change.</p><p>Mel shares the evolution of Evergreen and her unexpected shift toward personal styling and helping people show up as their most authentic selves. Terry opens up about closing his gyms, stepping into executive coaching, and writing his new book Life in Rhythm—a philosophy about balancing ambition with rest and learning to move with life instead of against it.</p><p>Together they unpack:</p><ul><li><p>Why burnout often comes from ignoring life’s “yellow lights”</p></li><li><p>The role of play, creativity, and stillness in healing</p></li><li><p>Navigating imposter syndrome when you pivot careers</p></li><li><p>How pain can become the root of purpose</p></li><li><p>What it really means to stay “evergreen” through life’s seasons</p></li></ul><p>This episode is about transition, resilience, and learning to listen when life asks you to move differently.</p><p>Grab a glass of wine, a plate of fries, and settle in.</p>
