A New You: Clay in the Potter’s Hands I hosted

A New You: Clay in the Potter’s Hands

I hosted a short-lived, low-budget cable talk show in Boston called The New You in the 1980s, and it was an intimidating and exciting experience. I hadn’t thought about it or even remembered it until I realized the theme of this edition would be “New Year, New You.”

I was armed with a Bachelor of Science degree in Communications & Speech from Suffolk University, concentrating in Journalism, and I took a lot of odd jobs back then to hone my craft, which would become my life’s work. An internship at WNEV TV (now WHDH) led to a job as an assistant editor on the evening news desk. It was fast-paced, and I was made for it. Writing, interviewing, and doing voice-over work were low-paying, but I loved it all and wanted to learn everything. Strangely, I still feel as I did then. Experience it all. Learn it all. Embrace it all. Born with a tenacious and curious spirit, I never embraced boredom well.

A recent epiphany allowed me to realize I continue to practice and build my career with just about everything I learned in college. Writing workshops, TV and radio, and the speech and debate team would equip me for my business and lay a foundation for the VIE Speaks podcast. I feel like I’ve reinvented myself many times, but it was me maturing and equipping myself like clay on the potter’s wheel so I could become what I was meant to be.

I also have an affinity for and an interest in helping people. Meeting 17-year-old Daniel Nuñez on a plane to Maine was one instance I won’t forget. We discussed his admissions meeting at Duke University and his blog, Bridge of Wills, which aims to unify our country amid the political angst. I was so impressed with Daniel that I asked him if wanted to write about it in VIE. He is well-spoken and wise, representing Gen Z superbly.

And now we have one of the most famous and well-known actresses in modern history gracing our health-and-wellness-focused cover! Join Jennifer Aniston as we delve into her favorite way to stay fit in our feature story, “Strength Redefined: Pvolve x Jennifer Aniston Ring in the New Year.”

This is the way to start the New Year off right!

We loved hearing from our cover star, Jennifer Aniston, and her personal trainer, Dani Coleman, who tells us how the Pvolve Method is revolutionizing women’s workouts across the US and beyond with its virtual and in-person programs. We also caught up with author Meghan Ryan Asbury and podcaster Sadie Sutton, two bright young ladies whose journeys have led them to impart wisdom about mental and spiritual well-being to their peers. The experts at SunLife Organics, Methodology, and Surya Spa also have insights to share on how to maximize your potential. We hope this issue helps you kick off 2025 with a renewed hope and motivation to care for yourself—body, mind, and soul.

We all understand the milk and cookies for Santa,

We all understand the milk and cookies for Santa, and even the carrots for the reindeer. But how did toy trains come to circle Christmas trees and Santa begin riding real trains all over the country?⁠
⁠
Read all about it on VIE at the #linkinbio!⁠
⁠
Christmas celebrations (and Santa) began to take modern form in the mid to late 19th century. Christmas trees started becoming a thing around 1820. In1869 America’s continental railroad arrived changing life as everyone knew it. Trains, especially steam engines, symbolized adventure, travel and exotic goods. ⁠
⁠
The first toy trains appear around 1850 around the same time Christmas trees started to appear in homes in the U.S. Little trains just seemed to add to the delight and magic of the holidays. The tradition of trains under the tree grew in the 20th Century when companies like Lionel Corporation began manufacturing affordable train sets that ran on a circular track—ideal for running around Christmas trees. Soon model trains were in department store windows, botanical gardens, and the movies, etc. In WWII returning soldiers arrived home by train and cemented that railroads connect people. While nostalgic and traditional, many a train set still chugs under Christmas trees and all across the country. ⁠
⁠
Maybe the most authentic Santa train ride in the country, and what Smithsonian calls a “national treasure,” is the East Broad Top Railroad in central Pennsylvania. Rural farms and ancient mountains are the backdrop for this 150-year-old railroad and its 108-year-old steam engine. That impressive duo chugs along the small narrow-gauge line and pulls the annual holiday Santa train. Throughout November and December, the East Broad Top Railroad runs a special holiday train driven by nostalgia, festive lights, cookies, and hot chocolate. Families can also write their letters to Santa inside the railroad’s historic 1906 train station. ⁠
