In the Mix (Episode 215)

October 26, 2026

This episode of In the Mix is about going a little deeper and starting something new. Host Dina Deleasa Gonsar sits down with three guests who are each opening a new chapter. Dr. Ashley Davis-Staten, a Doctor of Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine and founder of Novana Naturals, asks whether we’re as careful about what we put on our bodies as what we put in them. She also shares how her book Nourished can help you understand your body’s natural rhythms. Next, PJ Hogan of Sandbar Story Shack shows us a whole new way to find a beach read: a mobile indie bookstore in a little trailer by the shore. Finally, debut novelist Deborah Elaine Capuzzi talks about her faith-filled second act and her uplifting new novel, A Woman Who Remains Forever. Stay tuned, because holiday inspiration is coming in future episodes!
