Read to Irish Wolfhounds for “Wolfie’s Tales” at the Irish Cultural Center
This week on The Morning Show, we took a field trip to the Arizona Irish Cultural Center in downtown Phoenix to meet two of the most beloved ambassadors of Irish heritage — Riley and Tipper, the magnificent Irish Wolfhounds behind the heartwarming program “Wolfie’s Tales.” 🐾💚 Hosted at the Irish Cultural Center & McClelland Library, Wolfie’s Tales brings the magic of Irish storytelling to life — with a little extra wag in every tale. These gentle giants, alongside their loving owners, share stories of Irish folklore, friendship, and community, helping kids and adults alike connect through culture, compassion, and curiosity. During our visit, we learned how this unique program bridges history, literacy, and love for animals, all while preserving Irish heritage here in Arizona.

(EP 165) Are you constantly running on empty — tired, tense, and overwhelmed? You’re not alone. 💛 In this exclusive segment, Dr. Tara Coppola, founder of Rising Phoenix Naturopathy, shares The 3-Minute Vital Reset™ — a simple, science-backed ritual that helps you calm stress, restore focus, and recharge your energy naturally.

With small, mindful actions, you can shift from survival mode to self-healing mode in just three minutes a day. ✨ The Vital Reset Routine: 1️⃣ Ground – Feel your feet or palms connect to the surface beneath you. 2️⃣ Breathe – Inhale through your nose for 4 counts, exhale through your mouth for 6. 3️⃣ Hydrate – Sip water; your cells can’t calm without it. 4️⃣ Stretch – Open your chest and shoulders to release tension. 5️⃣ Gratitude – Name one thing you’re thankful for; gratitude literally shifts your nervous system. 💬 “Breathe. Hydrate. Move. Appreciate. Your body already knows the rest.” – Dr. Tara Coppola In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Coppola explains how stress impacts our nervous system, why quick resets work better than all-day burnout, and how to bring your body back into balance — one breath at a time.
