Farewell to Dean Stephens of WCIV-TV

Image
  Working in local TV news was something I wanted to do since I was a child...ask my parents, I would stage interviews and anchor from the couch in our ranch-style home when we had smooth wood hugging the TV and its 4 channels. ABC, NBC, CBS & PBS during the 1980s. My dad is a news lover and from a young age, I always watched news. Most parents in today's world would say "She's too young. You can't expose kids to that!" But when did a Nelson truly listen to other people? I grew up watching Charleston TV news. I idolized local reporters during Hurricane Hugo like Cathy O'Hara, had a crush on Dan Krosse and was even scared to walk up to Kellen Butler when we were both at the Music Farm. Local TV was different back then in the 90s/2000s. I've told the story often but, humor me here... I was dating my boyfriend-now-husband, Darren, and was the traffic reporter for ABC News 4 in Charleston. I had never been a traffic reporter until then, but figured when I ...

Trauma Expert Dr. Jennifer White-Baughan Accepting New Patients

Image
Charleston’s loss is Sausalito's gain. Expert trauma psychologist, Dr. Jennifer White-Baughan Ph.D, has relocated her office from Charleston, SC, to Sausalito (1505 Bridgeway) and a part time office in Mill Valley. Her impact upon not only myself, but many trauma survivors, is beyond explanation and I’m here today because of her EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprogramming) and trauma survivor work with me  due to the murder of my friend in our home.    Ironically, the trauma expert became a trauma patient.   While living in Bali (during her transition from East Coast to West Coast), it was a surreal time for Jennifer— the people, the smells, the beauty — the last thing she expected was to be pummeled by a motorbike in May 2016, knocking her down to the gravel ground that not only imprinted small rocks into her head and face… but imprinted upon her grey matter. She was injured with a severe brain bleed in her visual cortex. Her daughte...

Happy Juice Express Debuts in South Carolina

Image
Great news! Our new client, Carolina Global Inc.'s new beverage Happy Juice Express is debuting in stores as you read this. Its expected arrival date is June 12, 2014 but many stores have received early shipments and the product is flying off the shelves and in some areas, selling out in less than 30 minutes.  From their site, "Happy Juice Express is a delicious fruit-flavored malt beverage served in a 24 oz. bottle with 12% ABV.  While the product is brewed Wisconsin (and many thanks to our friends in the midwest!), the brand, taste, and concept were developed from the blood, sweat and tears of three entrepreneurs from the great state of South Carolina.  In addition to tasting great, the Happy Juice Express brand exemplifies a lifestyle for the free-spirits and go-getters who move through life with a smile."  There's much more to come about this SC born & raised product but it's moving so fast...stay tuned. Not only will you find it in conve...
