This episode of In the Mix, host Dina Deleasa Gonsar brings together inspiring guests and practical finds for mindful, intentional living. Dina chats with Ann Marie Cordisco of Anchored Homestead in Newtown, CT, about her handcrafted small-batch infused sea salts, seasonings, and sugars rooted in family traditions, natural ingredients, and sustainability—quiet luxury pantry staples that elevate everyday cooking and foster connection. She also shares a heartfelt conversation with U.S. Army Veteran and award-winning children’s book author Yvonne Sundberg, who opens up about her grief journey after losing her husband in 2024, inspiring thousands through worship, dance, faith-based encouragement, and messages of hope and resilience on social media. Recovery expert and author Marci Hopkins discusses her empowering new book Wake Up, You’re Not Broken: What to Expect in the First 30 Days (now available following its April 2026 release), offering a compassionate day-by-day guide to early sobriety, challenging stigma, and affirming that healing is possible. Dina highlights Ello Clean Start, the innovative non-toxic ceramic tableware line for toddlers—BPA/PFAS-free porcelain with soft silicone bumpers, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, perfect for worry-free baby-led weaning and mealtimes. Finally, Jennifer Gressman, CEO of Site Impact, explores how AI and human insight are reshaping digital marketing through data-driven, permission-based email and multi-channel strategies that create more relevant, resonant ads, brands, and product experiences.
