    Follow Your Heart - Evelyn LaTorre
    Jun 16 2021
    Another episode, another fascinating conversation on Choosing Your Reflection -- this week with author Evelyn LaTorre. Originally from small-town Montana, Evelyn got a taste for a larger worldview young and decided to let it grow as fast and vast as possible by joining the Peace Corps where she met her future husband in Peru. Two sons, three decades, and two books later Evelyn takes us through her wedding experience, including an unexpected guest, a handmade dress, and a letter to her parents that took longer in transit than her engagement. Special Guest: Evelyn LaTorre.

    The Essence of Who We Are - Mike Iamele
    Jun 2 2021
    This week on Choosing Your Reflection we speak with author and brand strategist Mike Iamele. A consummate storyteller and a stickler for intention, Michael walks us through how he and his husband chose subtle details for their rings, outfits, ceremony, and reception, all of which were imbued with purpose. When a highly honored guest pointed out that perhaps only Mike and his partner would notice the subtleties, Michael is quick to reiterate another tenant of his vision: “but they'll feel it!” Join us as we hear the story of how Mike and Garrett displayed "the essence of who we are" in beautiful Aruba! Special Guest: Mike Iamele.
