Prayers and DuctTape

07/13/2024

🎙️🎉 Hey everyone! We're back! 🎉

Have you been wondering where we went? Well, nothing like a near-death accident to make you want to talk! 😂

I'm thrilled to announce that this Tuesday night, we're recording our first episode in quite some time. We’ve got some exciting changes in store for you: a new producer, a new format, and some amazing guests lined up.

In this upcoming episode, we'll be diving into all the details of my accident - from what happened to the funny rumors that spread, and how it has truly changed me. I have no doubt there will be tears, but also a lot of laughs. It's going to be an emotional and uplifting journey.

After recording, we will announce when the show will be uploaded and what platforms.

🙏 ❤️ I want to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you for your continued prayers and support. Your love and encouragement have meant the world to me during this challenging time. This incident has opened my eyes to the blessings that I didn't even realize were right in front of me. I'm calling my next phase of life, “Volume 2: The Live Life Crisis." It's time to visit all those places I've always dreamed of, tell loved ones how much they mean to me, do things that I want to do (like podcast), and, dammit, indulge in that dessert. Life isn't just about work, bills, politics, taxes, and everyday stresses. There are also beautiful moments and positive things sprinkled in there. Sometimes they just get hidden or pushed to the side. But I am determined to explore the positive and offer a prayer of gratefulness, but also realize that I’m still ornery and that’s the duct tape side of me.

So, stay tuned for "Prayers and Duct Tape" - the new and improved version.

Much love and appreciation,
Debi

Been wondering where we have been? Well, between getting ready for the holidays, spending time with family and just overall life, we have had to take a longer break than we anticipated. But, thank goodness we are back recording tomorrow night. Fingers crossed, a new show will be uploaded within the week.

Thank you for your support and the positive comments. We know we may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but we’re someone’s nice tall glass of wine 😝

Wow 824 likes‼️ This may seem like a small number to some or not that big of deal, but I can promise you that to Brittany, Tyler, Mark, Tom and I, this means the world. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts ❤️ for listening, engaging, sharing, and making our little podcast grow and grow.

When I first had this idea, it seemed so unachievable. I had (and still don’t have) any concept of what it takes to put something like this together, much less produce and post it. Thanks to our producer, Tom, he came to the rescue and anything he didn’t know, he figured it out. When I say we could not do this without him, I 💯 mean it.

We have two co-producers, who, along with Tom, are life savers. They literally save me with their knowledge, wit and style. They keep us on track and when they are on set, they give me the peace of mind of knowing they have our backs and will keep everything going smoothly.

Then there is Brittany…My co-host, my partner in crime, my right hand, my daughter from another uterus 😮 She was the very first person I shared this idea with, and the first to push me to follow this dream. She is my biggest supporter and I am her biggest fan. I love you girlie.

To those listeners who have been a part from the beginning or who found us along the way, know that every time you listen, we are giving a piece of ourselves to you. Sometimes we need stronger duct tape to keep us in line and others we need every prayer we can get. Whether you agree or disagree, you keep coming back and with your help and our contiuined efforts to get the word out, we hope our dream just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Who knows how far this dream can get with a little help from each person who listens.

Welcome to a part of my world that I dearly love. Our podcast, “Prayers & Duct Tape.” This podcast may not have a huge audience…yet…but that doesn’t mean our team doesn’t treat it likes it’s just as important as if we were a “Kelce” 😜 🏈

We just wrapped up our next episode that features clips from our Halloween masquerade ball where Tyler and Mark talked to a few guests, we discuss the staffs recent trip on Canoe the Caney ghost hunting style, and last, but certainly not least, we got to sit down with psychic medium LOGAN TAYLOR from the show, “Living With the Dead” which is now streaming on Hulu and Disney+. We think this is our best episode to date. It was at least the most fun.

Stay tuned for Episode 6. Be sure to like our page, comment and share. We are trying to build this page up and get the word out about our little podcast.
