Nancy Francese represented Team 70s at our Holiday '24 show! She closed the night in formidable fashion, moving us all to (heartfelt and hopeful!) tears as she shared the story of her life and love with her husband. A retired teacher and published writer, Nancy can often be found enjoying time with her grandchildren at Crazee’s.

Michelle Akin represented Team 30s at our very first October 2024 show! After a decade of amassing thousands of followers on YouTube and Instagram showcasing her comedic wit, musical talents and news about her creative coaching practice, Michelle shared the story of how she famously quit social media in 2023, and never went back.

In her story for Generation Women, our Team 50s speaker Lucie Dickenson shared the heartwarming tradition of making ravioli with her family at Christmastime. After a long time away from the family table, Lucie found her way back and reignited this cherished ritual with her own family. She generously offered her recipe—not from a cookbook, but from memory and tradition—to inspire us all to embrace the joy of cooking together during the holidays.
