Season 3

Episode 2

Featuring: Jay Jarabek

Special Guest Appearance: Angela Mabb

Cohosts Jeremy Grant-Skinner and Tara Whiteman-Fager bring listeners to a time and a place from their past; a return to their hometown of rural upstate New York. They are joined by Jay Jarabek- Fort Plain High’s 1990’s “newest” addition to the community; through synchronistic means, Jay arrives as a track coach and biology teacher. While waiting for the last member of The Trio to join them, the dynamic duo successfully convinces their guest to take a metaphorical jog up a certain number of stairs that leads to their beloved high school. While moving up the stairs, they reflect on their experiences with transgenerational trauma. In this space, they discuss the struggles of living and working in a small town that has such high incidence rates of transgenerational trauma. Later, they are joined by a special guest, and The Trio is now complete with scientist Angela Mabb. The former students and athletes of Jay cleverly turn the tables and give their retired mentor a pop quiz! Throughout the conversation, they express what an integral part Mr. Jarabek played in their formative years, especially growing up where resources were limited and time traveled very differently. In turn, Jay shares a never before told story about himself; and it isn’t just talk and tales of being tattooed! Want to hear for yourself what Now’s The Time Podcast guest Jay Jarabeck reveals? Well then, tune in and turn it up!

Don’t forget to participate in the pop quiz poll found on Spotify and their socials! Hint: It is in regards to the stairwell!

Tara and Jeremy share over forty years of friendship, history and inside jokes. As you can imagine, these stories will take time to unravel.

Tune in and listen while they discuss their purpose for creating this podcast and why these conversations are important enough to share with you. Tara and Jeremy employ rhythm through voice and storytelling whilst dancing the fine line of intermixing comic relief with TRIGGER WARNING CONTENT. Listeners are bound to leave with at least one educational tip, an inspiring sentiment, and a laugh. Fine Print: No more than one of each is promised at this show! In all seriousness: Triggering content may include, but is not limited to, occasional harsh language, talk of trauma and mentions of other controversial topics.

Wrapping It Up!

That’s it listeners! We are officially done with Now’s The Time Podcast…

Finished with season 2 that is!

Quick re-cap:

Pre-Season: In 2021 Melissa invited Tara onto her Today I Choose Podcast to talk about Traumas & Triumphs: Neurology of the Heart, Self-Care, Tattooing, & the Mind-Body Connection.

Next they found themselves SPILLING the tea while IRL SIPPING some too.

Beginning with their first guest, an artist by training & at heart, the late Katie Varette. A once in a lifetime opportunity intended to help Tara explain her “always in process-paperback book- rough draft - science meets spirituality and such- memoir style publication: “Scientific Poetry and Prose; An Abstract Prequel to the Talk and Tales of the Tattooed Women”.

Moving on with the help of Melissa & her expertise, the dynamic duo eventually wind up on a metaphorical plane ever oscillating between the coastlines as Tara explains herself into, through and out of season 1 of Now’s the Time Podcast.

Bringing us right up to speed on the finale of season 2…

where the recording space went from a wide open room to a designated “studio”.

And NOW - after a few minimal but essential upgrades, listeners are NOW ABLE to tune in with Melissa & Tara in THIS LAST EPISODE of season 2 as they tweak and fine-tune things. Re-align with purpose. And then drop the mic.

Stay tuned for the projected trajectory and or agenda or whatever it is that Season 3 is going to offer! You never know what to expect at the hands of these witty minded women. Trust. It will be energetic, eclectic and have all the essential elements of surprise, exploration, education and elevation!
