Host Stephen Saint-Onge talks about the power and the need for nostalgia as touchstones in our crazy world.

Stephen talks about the fact that we cannot control what we see and hear on the news - we may feel powerless - but we do have control over what our home environments and our home base are. We can surround ourselves with good things. We can remind ourselves as to what is important and meaningful in our own lives. Nostalgia connects us to the past -- but it can also serve as a powerful tool to sustain us in our lives right now.

Host and designer Stephen Saint-Onge talks to internationally-recognized actress, director and business owner Melanie Mayron about her work on the show Thirtysomething that brought into the public eye in a big way, her film work with stars such as Jack Lemmon, Vanessa Redgrave, Sissy Spacek - to her current work as a film and television director on productions such as HBO Max's Julia (about Julia Child) starring Sarah Lancashire, David Hyde Pierce, Bebe Neuwirth and Isabella Rossellini, Stars network's The Serpent Queen, ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars to name a few.

At the same time, she started a successful family-owned, American-made, organic product line with her dad called www.mayronsgoods.com. Stephen and Melanie talk about how that started and why she wanted to bring these organic products to the marketplace.

Her passion for home design and renovation are also discussed.

Currently, Melanie is acting off-Broadway in the original production Mad Women of The West. She talks about "it's never over until it's over." She says that she never expected to be on stage again acting - after 35 years - but now she finds herself doing just that. Melanie says: "You never know where life will lead you!"

Melanie wears many creative hats and talks about her journey as a working actor and director in Hollywood and beyond - being a working mother to two grown children and sharing her perspective on getting through the tough times and the importance of being able to keep moving forward. She says she is her "third act" and she wants to keep doing work that is challenging, fulfilling and allows her to use all her talents at this stage of her life.

A wonderfully-inspiring conversation between two friends, a glimpse of Hollywood, of design in film and television - as well as a story of following your path and doing work that you love. A great example of the ebb and flow of the seasons of life!

If you are on a journey to change your life - this conversation will help you tap into finding your joy, be reminded of listening to what is right for you and simply be inspired by this creative artist that has lived a creative life - but is still doing great things as she enters into her third act.
