  Season Three, Episode 135 Join your hosts, Carmen and Sophia Micsa, to learn about our guest, Rebecca Rosenberg , and her quest to beautifully depict ambitious and brilliant women in history whom she never learned about in her history classes. Rebecca does a splendid job in all her books, uncorking women's pasts across the globe, one glass at a time. Bestselling Novelist | Champagne Historian | Globe-Trotter, Rebecca Rosenberg believes that every great woman, much like a fine vintage, deserves to be celebrated. Her mission is to shine a light on the spirited legacies of real-life women who changed the world, bringing their brilliance to modern readers with flair and inspiration. Through her acclaimed CHAMPAGNE WIDOWS series, Rebecca highlights visionaries like Lily Bollinger, Veuve Clicquot, and Madame Pommery — women who turned a regional wine into a global symbol of joy. On this Seeds of Sunshine episode: We discuss Champagne Widows during our book club, including how the heroine, Barbe-Nicole Clicquot, became a widow and grappled with a new, overbearing partner, the difficulties of making champagne, and the Napoleonic Code, which prevented women from owning a business. Rebecca explains how she came up with the idea for her book after visiting the Champagne region in France. Rebecca weaves historical facts and explains where she took creative license in crafting the story. Rebecca believes that we are never too old or too late to pursue our wildest dreams, just like her strong women characters in her novels.

  Never Too Old to Start with Carmen Micsa

  Jun 17, 202621 min

  Season Three, Episode 133 Join your hosts, Carmen Micsa, podcaster, Broker/CEO with Dynamic Real Estate , and published author of the tennis book Change Your Grip on Tennis Through Tennis to learn more about my competitive college tennis experience playing for American River College at 53, proving that I wasn't too old to start a new adventure and to keep growing as a person and tennis player while inspiring the younger generation to try new things and be fearless. On this Seeds of Sunshine episode: I discuss the event that led me to join the American River College team and return to school just to play tennis, improve my game, and inspire my teammates to reach for more. I express my gratitude to coach Kevin Kurtz from Rio de Oro Racquet Club, who encouraged me to return to college tennis and play my second season with them 12 years later, as we are never too old to start or continue what we began. After Coach Kevin planted the seed, I got in touch with Coach Steven Dunmore, who had led the ARC team to win three championships in Ojai, Southern California. I started training with the team and taking online classes for the fall semester in 2025 and the spring semester this year, 2026. One of the highlights of my playing for ARC (American River College) was traveling with the team to the Ojai Tennis Tournament for the California Community College Athletic Association (3C2A), where Alex and Sophia, who study at UC Santa Barbara, came to cheer on me. They were proud that their mom was back in college, taking online classes such as Spanish and Poetry, and playing competitive tennis with teammates the same age as them. This incredible opportunity taught me that it is never too late to teach an old dog new tricks and that, at 52, I still felt like 22 because I was a runner and did strength training. I also learned so much from Matt Brunnquell, our assistant coach, who put his heart and soul into doing great drills with us and taking our games to the next level.

  What the Subconscious Mind Already Knows with Christine Brodmerkel

  May 3, 202637 minS2

  Season Three, Episode 132 Join your hosts, Carmen and Sophia Micsa, to learn more about what our subconscious mind knows and how to harness its power. Christine Brodmerkel is a clinical hypnotherapist with a master’s degree in counseling psychology, a certified professional coach, and a lifelong student of healing and human potential. Long before she became a practitioner, she was on her own self-healing path—curious about why we think what we think, feel what we feel, and repeat patterns we genuinely want to change. Her work bridges practical psychology and deeper consciousness. Christine specializes in helping people understand how the subconscious mind shapes their beliefs, behaviors, and emotional responses—and more importantly, how to work with it intentionally. On this Seeds of Sunshine episode: Christine learned from her parents the importance of staying on track with everything that she did in life. In working with her clients, Christine looks to help them heal emotionally and spiritually. By starting with the conscious mind, such as deciding what to wear today, Christine delves into the subconscious mind later on to help her clients heal. Our emotions rise from our subconscious mind. Christine describes the subconscious patterns and how they operate. When Christine helps her clients through hypnosis, she helps them introduce new information into the subconscious mind. Through hypnotherapy, Christine can change her clients old reprogramming to a new one. Additionally, Christine believes that we can all communicate with our subconscious mind and reprogram it with the right guidance.
