I love being on the radio. As soon as I put on the headphones I am always reminded of this documentary I watched about John Lennon where they showed a clip of him and Yoko demonstrating their notion of Bagism. You can google it. But basically their belief was that if they communicated though a bag over their entire body they couldn't be judged by outside appearance. They referred to it as “total communication”. Hey it was the 60's...man. So that's what I think about when I'm on the radio. That and the gratitude I feel that in order to perform I don't have to wear make up and a nice shirt.

This week on Volume Up, the big topic was a band almost as old as the Beatles. Kidding Leslie. But you have to admit that Hanson has been around for a minute. Leslie talked about the concert she attended at Caesars with the childlike innocence of a middle-schooler with her first crush coupled with the photo-credentialed grown up, who grew up, with this band. Wow. And I thought I liked Sting! But I don't have Message in a Bottle lyrics tattooed on my foot. And I certainly wouldn't make that kind of commitment when Taylor had a typo on his autograph. What the salesteam at DSW must think of that lefty Leslie! But who's really looking because of those killer lashes though?

I went on WOND to talk about an upcoming show at Dante Hall. There's a bit of irony here. As Leslie talked about how a famous crew influenced her life, I'm working on a project about how everyday folk in Atlantic City are continually influencing mine. I mean I'm doing yoga and brewing my own Kombucha now instead of playing poker. Talk about hippies...

In our second hour, we’re joined by our resident ayurvedic practitioner Rachel Jamison. Rachel dishes on the upcoming Equinox and how its themes of balance can influence our lives right now. She also shares her knowledge in eating for the season and how to start preparing our bodies now for flu season. Lastly, Rachel lets us in on her daily self care routine and how it contributed to her enjoyment of a recent solo traveling adventure.

Plus fashion finds, taking it off on social media, and Leslie’s Hard Rock getaway... all on this episode of Volume Up!

It’s a very special episode of Volume Up with Leslie Jespersen as the ladies are joined in-studio by gracious guest co-host Colleen St. Michaels. Colleen is a spiritual reader and medium who partners with spirit and angels to deliver impactful messages with compassion, sharp intuitive insight, and wisdom as a clear channel into the divine.

Colleen’s lifework revolves around channeling spirit and angel guides to teach our souls how to step up and speak out. Over the next two hours, Leslie and Charlee take a deep dive with Colleen into topics such as old vs new thought, shadow work and resistance, ego, and the idea of always being “under construction.” The ladies also discuss the importance for empathic souls to protect their own energy.

Colleen discusses her new book, available in mid-October, which serves as a healing tool for those grieving the loss of a loved one to addiction. Later in the episode, Colleen answers some listener questions and does a special reading in which she advises Leslie on the members of her angel guide group.

Speaking of Philly— in our second hour, Philadelphia native Chef Brian Duffy falls in to tell the ladies all about his new show “Opening Night,” premiering Sunday September 1st on Food Network. The show follows a restauranteur, consulted by Chef, on their 7 days before opening for business. Hear Chef’s take on the wild & crazy energy of an actual opening night, how his newest endeavor is totally different from previous projects, and why America is totally hooked on reality TV.

Plus a Lynrd Skynrd concert recap with our friends Wild Adriatic's tunes jamming, a look at how our Dynamic Duo’s upbringing shaped their adult musical interests, and a lot of kombucha-induced silliness... this week, get your Volume Up!

Carrie Vasquez is a Personal Trainer with Star Fit Club whose clients fuel her continued success at 3 years post-op. Lori Lopez is a busy mom navigating the complex emotional journey of WLS 2 years out. Both women share their struggles and successes with food and weight loss.

In our first hour, the ladies discuss why they chose to have surgery and take some questions from listeners. We tackle the “easy way out” myth as well as addiction and addiction transfer, weight regain, and the serious psychological work of healing from a dysfunctional relationship with food.

In the second hour, we’re talking relationships: family, friend, and romantic. Have our families always been supportive? Did we lose friends? What about the statistic that 75% of marriages where one partner has had WLS end in divorce?

If your relationship with food has ever left you feeling hopeless, this episode is direct from us to you. We’re coming at you with the good, the bad, and the sometimes heartbreaking side of weight loss surgery. We’re coming at you with the surety that you CAN change your life. We’re coming at you this and every week with Volume Up!

We loooove live music at Volume Up! And we love it even more when we have live music IN the studio! This week on Volume Up, Leslie and Charlee are joined by Meaghan Farrell: Nashville-based singer/songwriter, recording artist, and special guest cohost! Meaghan’s soulful voice captivates in two live performances, and her inviting and bubbly personality is showcased while she chats with the ladies about her autobiographical songs, online dating (!) and making music her career.

We’re also talking via phone with 11-year-old Samarah Conley, fresh off her Nice International Film Festival win for Best Lead Actress in a Short Film. Samarah’s love for acting and singing come through loud and clear, and she’s got something in common with Leslie: both child actors!

Plus, we are talking healthy eating & cooking (and the occasional absence thereof,) Leslie’s tips on getting gorgeous hair color at home, and how much it REALLY costs a woman to go out on a date. Hint: it’s more than you think.

The ladies are chatting with artist Popo Flanigan, whose unique artwork is cropping up all over South Jersey and beyond.

You don’t want to miss our interview with this fascinating woman.

We’re recapping the recent John Mayer concert at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia after a last-minute Volume Up road trip. Which songs had our dynamic duo up and dancing? And which song nearly made Leslie cry?

Plus more birthday shenanigans, more hot topics, and how the sun, moon and stars affect them all. Don’t miss this episode of Volume Up!

Did you feel that?! We did too!!! The vibe was high as heaven on this week’s episode of Volume Up as Leslie and Charlee were joined in the studio by very special guest cohost Ashley Gordon. 

Ashley is a spiritual coach and host of the Badass Manifester podcast, and she was here for a deep dive into all things manifestation- what it is, how to do it, and why it works. If you’ve ever felt stuck or like your outer world didn’t align with your inner world, THIS is the episode for you!

In the second hour, the ladies are joined by Jordan Jacobsen of Enlightened Cafe. Hear about Enlightened’s mission, the communities they serve and outreach, and of-freaking-course, their delicious food and beverage options. Enlightened is so much more than a cafe, as you’ll hear- it’s also a safe place for folks in recovery and a hub of service to the South Jersey community at large.

Who’s it for? What’s it do? The ladies chat about Stacia’s training for certification in Spain, using your practice as therapy, and how to balance it all as an entrepreneur.

Leslie and Charlee are joined in-studio by Ed & Mindy Morrison and Cecilia Kleiner. Ed and Mindy are coauthors of the new book “Bad Moon Rising,” a harrowing account of the murder of Ed and Cecilia’s brother Mike Morrison.

Mike and his date Debbie Means never made it home from their prom in Mascoutah, IL in 1969. 50 years later, we are speaking to the family about the grizzly murders that rocked their small town, the nature of humanity and human behavior, and the hard work of healing and forgiving. 

In our second hour, the ladies are talking polyamory- or more specifically, romantic relationships where multiple men are devoted to the same woman. What’s the magic number to make such a situation work? DOES such a situation work and if so, are Charlee and Leslie game for it? Is this the new frontier of relationships? You be the judge!

Plus we’re recapping the week (including the kickoff for Tanger Outlets' Live at 5 Summer Concert Series that Leslie is producing), giving you the details on our upcoming July Baby Birthday Bash, and chatting about what happens when you “go out” without alcohol. So turn your Volume Up!
