Ep. 26: America 250: Escorting the Declaration of Independence (Interview w/Brian Wilson)
In honor of America's 250th birthday, I'm bringing back one of the most popular episodes of the Positive Vibes podcast. Archivist, actor, and author Brian Wilson shares remarkable stories from history—including the incredible tale of helping recover and escort Georgia's official copy of the Declaration of Independence. There's another fascinating historical connection that wasn't mentioned when this interview first aired: Brian is a direct descendant of Richard Stockton, the first delegate from New Jersey to sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Stockton was a prominent attorney, a member of the Second Continental Congress, and one of the nation's 56 Founding Fathers. Brian rarely talks about this family connection, but it makes this conversation especially fitting as America celebrates its semiquincentennial. Beyond history, Brian also offers practical advice as an archivist on preserving family photographs and treasured documents for future generations. He also gives a behind-the-scenes look at life as a professional background actor, sharing stories from major productions including Avengers: Infinity War, Captain America: Brave New World, Jungle Cruise, MacGyver, and more—including a memorable experience working with Ryan Gosling. Whether you're interested in American history, genealogy, family preservation, filmmaking, or simply great storytelling, there's something here for you.

Have you ever wondered what it takes to create an entire world from your imagination? In this fun episode, Dr. Yasmine Ali explores the “C” for Creativity in her ORCHID Model for Positive Living™ with award-winning fantasy author Barbara V. Evers. Barbara is the author of multiple fantasy novels, many of which are award-winning, and all of which she describes as “matriarchal fantasies with clever animals.” Her fantasy trilogy, The Watchers of Moniah, won the Imadjinn Best Fantasy Novel twice, and her collection, Pieces of Her, includes award-winning stories, including a Pushcart Prize nominee.

Along the way, they also dive into one of Barbara’s greatest passions: giraffes. You'll learn about giraffe conservation, fascinating giraffe physiology, and how a chance encounter with a giraffe helped spark a lifelong fascination that ultimately found its way into Barbara’s fiction.

Ep.24: Brain Health, Faith, & Graceful Aging (Interview w/Janice Love)
What does it mean to age gracefully—not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually? Dr. Yasmine Ali speaks with faith-centered brain health coach Janice R. Love in this episode of the Positive Vibes podcast about brain health, mindset, purpose, and intentional living in midlife and beyond. Also known as “Dr. Janice,” she shares her remarkable personal and professional journey--from biological psychology and healthcare leadership to writing books, coaching women through life transitions, and ultimately returning to her longtime passion for brain health.
