This week, we’re getting real about something I know you’re doing too: living for everyone else. Whether it’s making chili on your birthday or saying yes to a project when your calendar is already screaming no, this episode is for the good girls, the independent women, and anyone who’s been caught in the exhausting cycle of people-pleasing. In this solo episode, I’m talking: Where people-pleasing shows up in my daily life (spoiler: everywhere)Why doing less might actually be the key to feelin...
We’re back!!! Season 4 is officially here, and I am so freaking happy to be back behind the mic. I missed this space. I missed you. And honestly, I’m coming into this season with a whole new energy - and a whole new game plan. In this kickoff episode, I’m reintroducing myself (hi, I’m Emily Rose 👋), and sharing the deeply personal, mostly chaotic path that got me here - from growing up the oldest of nine in a big Polish Catholic family to giving an epically bad chastity speech to a group of f...
My guest on episode #11 was born on October 11. I see 1111 all the time, but I feel warm and grateful every single time I do. My college friend Tanner Gelatt joined me for this episode to talk about what brought him from Cooperstown to Buffalo, and led to him being one of the biggest Bills fans and Buffalovers I know. We also talked about how the chaos of this world became a catalyst for deciding to take control of his physical and emotional health with a new daily workout habit: spinning wit...
Y'all. You are really in for a treat this week, if I do say so myself. I was so honored to host Chef Tierra Josey and her wife, Lena Josey, to the studio this week! We talked about Chef's ghost kitchen, SZN, and what the path looked like that led her to launch it. We discussed not letting other people's labels for you stop you from believing that you are capable of your dreams. We talked about the inspiration for one of their newest menu items - a peach cobbler egg roll, and consequently how ...
EVERYONE! My guest this week is Harper Bishop!! He is a writer, photographer, community organizer, and activist. He has held roles at the Institute on Religion and Public Policy, Buffalo First, for Councilmember Michael J LoCurto, Coalition for Economic Justice, PUSH Buffalo, Our City Action Buffalo, and more. He co-founded, and is now a board member, for Cooperation Buffalo, an organization that trains and educates in cooperative economics and supports the start-up of worker-owned businesses...
I swear I did have a guest planned for this week! And actually, I got one. Just not the one I thought. Here's what you can expect: me reallyyyyy drilling it in that, in the words of Rick Astley, I'm never gonna give you up. And by you, I mean posting this podcast every week. But I also talk about the negative effects of choosing comfort over pushing ourselves. There's a time and a place for both... what time and place are you in now? Then I called my sister! And she picked up. So I asked he...
Lucky number 7! So sorry to be late getting this out, but literally nothing was going to stop me from posting it on Friday. Though many things tried! I kick off the episode by explaining why I had to get to the studio and record in spite of the fact that I was hanging on by a thread. And then I pose a challenge to you. Next, I asked on IG for folks to share their 'fail forward' stories of times when things didn't go the way they hoped or planned but it led to a much better outcome or a good l...
Back again with another solo episode! This week I convince you (me) that I am not going to let myself skip posting a weekly podcast for a full year. For real. WE'RE IN IT TO WIN IT. I also shared more about my love for the Insight Timer app, including my favorite teacher on there, Kenneth Soares. I listen to this recording of his just about every single day. My 7-year-old listens to Max, Bee, & the Troll King sleep story every night, too. We both highly recommend! I also shared that ...
Is it normal for solo episodes to be scarier than episodes with a guest? My brain literally ping-ponged throughout this convo. Hopefully, it gives you a little insight into who's hosting this thing. I give a real quick and oddly professional timeline as if I am interviewing for a job. I also share the first ever voicemail my English hubby ever left me (it got him a first date), some things I've learned this year about myself and self-sabotage, and end with my own round of rapid-fire questions...
My girl, Ciara Rayshall, is our guest on the podcast this week! And she brought along one of the most adorable things she's ever made, if I do say so myself, her 6-month-old daughter, Kali. We talked being a mom in 2022, why it's so hard to justify doing nice things for yourself, and how we both struggle with giving ourselves permission to ask for help and the space to nurture our creativity. We talked about her poetry book, "In All the Ways", and about the turning point in her life that lead...
Ben Siegel is our guest on the podcast this week! Ben is many things, but we talked most about his identity as a writer. He has written over 500 pieces for The Buffalo News as a theatre and arts critic here in Buffalo, but he has much, much more inside of him. As the full-time Director of Communications for PUSH Buffalo, Ben talked about the challenges of balancing work and life responsibilities with carving out creative time for yourself. He shared some of his sources of inspiration an...
Sam Scarcello is the guest on the podcast today! Sam is the Head baker and one of two partners at Public Espresso + Coffee. Sam's career path has been anything but linear, going from used book thrifting, to farmers market tabling, to working in a marketing agency, to now running a business with 40+ staff members. Plus he makes a mean cruller. We talked about how he and his partner, James Rayburg, got Public Espresso started, how he went from handling the branding and marketing side of the bus...
Here is it! Podcast number ONE. Let me tell you all the reasons I almost didn't post it: 1. The editing is shotty. 2. There is no jingle at the beginning or end. 3. In fact there is no music at all. Should I get some? 4. I don't really tell you much about myself. But we will get to know each other as we go on here. 5. I'm not crazy about my podcast art yet. Any graphic designers wanna help me out? 6. I'm scared of being judged and that it isn't good enough. And here is why I posted it: we...
This week’s episode is a real treat—not just because my guest is an actual magical human, but also because it happened to be her birthday when we recorded it. 🎉 The universe has impeccable timing, and so does my friend Lauren, who introduced me to the one and only Beth Metal. Beth is a tarot reader, animist, channeler, and all-around spiritual badass. In this episode, we dive into: Her journey from flower-whispering child to full-on mysticWhat animism is (and why she once had to flee a Savers...
This week’s episode is such a fun one, and honestly, I wish we could've kept it going because I have SO many follow-up questions. I sat down with Lindsay Robson, who you might know from Nickel City Pretty, Copper & Steel, When’s Food? podcast, the Buffalo Blogger Network… and basically every cool creative corner of Buffalo. We talked about all of her amazing projects and how she’s managed to keep showing up creatively through all the highs and lows — including her divorce. Which brings us...
Everyone’s in for a real treat with this one — meet my grandparents, Norbert and Rosemarie Marciniak! While visiting them in Las Vegas, I pulled out my mic (much to their surprise) and started asking all the questions: about their childhoods, how they met, what parenting was like in the ’60s and ’70s, and whether hindsight really is 20/20. We even tossed in some audience questions from Instagram! This episode is one my family and I will cherish forever. I hope you enjoy their stories, laughs,...
In this episode of the Mostly All Figured Out podcast, I sit down with Chad Williams, founder of the clothing brand dooProcess. Chad opens up about his journey from growing up in a large, close-knit family in Brooklyn to moving to Buffalo to attend Buffalo State University. Wrestling played a huge role in his life, and although an injury altered his athletic path, Chad's resilient mindset carried him forward. Chad shares the powerful and emotional story of being wrongfully arrested while tryi...
In this episode, I'm sharing a simple practice that's already made a huge difference in keeping me on track with my goals — a monthly review. Taking about an hour at the end of each month to reflect has helped me stay accountable, identify where I fell short, and create a plan to overcome obstacles in the month ahead. For example, I wasn’t as consistent with podcasting this month as I’d hoped. To fix that, I’m putting some new systems in place — like working with a podcast editor (shoutout to...
Y'all, today, I’m bringing you an episode that will resonate with anyone who's ever questioned their path, felt stuck in a role that didn’t quite fit, or wondered, What do I actually want my life to look like? I’m joined by the incredible Kate Welshofer—writer, speaker, content creator, and self-proclaimed mischief-maker. You may recognize her from her days as a TV news anchor, most recently as the host of Most Buffalo on WGRZ. Now, she's a content creator, the creative force behind The Secre...
Alright, let’s be real—vision boards can feel a little cringe. Cutting out magazine quotes like “Be Brave” and slapping them on a poster doesn’t magically make you brave (trust me, I’ve tried). But here’s the thing: vision boards can actually work—if you do them right. In this episode, I’m breaking down: ✨ Why your past vision boards might’ve been a total flop ✨ The one small tweak that made mine actually work ✨ How I used a vision board to manifest my dream home (spoiler: it wasn’t magic, bu...
