In this episode Neil and Will sit down with Claudean Oakley a past nursing director, naturalist and wellness expert that has written a book "Pastology", about not letting your past predict your future.  More specifically, it was an opportunity for her to remind Appalachians, they are becoming highly esteemed; they appreciate their surroundings, culture, past history and embrace opportunities to grow.  In a time when a lot of Appalachian Authors are writing about the natural beauty, poverty or coal mining - this book takes a different reflection, specifically on the past.  Take a listen as Claudean describes her own past and how she took insight from viewing cadavers, among other things.  In addition, some like it hot - that would be Neil and Will - and it's someone's bday!  Also, don't forget the #AppBiz of the week: Love is Real Wellness Cafe!
