Rewind Episode: Hallmark Christmas Movies with Olivia Howell

In honor of Mother's Day, we are doing Christmas in May, as we Rewind to Decemeber 2023 to talk to about Hallmark Christmas movies with one of our favorite moms, friend of the show Olivia Dreizen Howell, Co-Founder and CEO of Fresh Starts Registry(and one half of the sibling duo that we call "The Sisters" around here with her sister, Genevieve Dreizen )! It's an episode full of women executives from the big city who travel to Apple Valley or Walnut Lake or something like that for Christmas and fall for their high school sweetheart or the town lumberjack who has a golden retriever and a pickup. As always, there was a lot of laughing in this episode, but also a lot of insight into how all of the characters in these movies are starting over in some way, which is Olivia's specialty. Enjoy the show, and have fun at the Christmas festival at the town gazebo. A bit about Olivia:When Olivia got married at 26, she didn't think she would find herself signing divorce papers a mere 8 years later. As she stood in the half-empty house, it dawned on her that we celebrate engagements, weddings and babies, but not the boldness and bravery it takes to restart your life. Plus, she wondered, how does one find a new therapist, divorce lawyer, or mortgage lender? Relying on Google, friends, and family can be overwhelming, so why isn't there one place for everything you need to begin again? Fresh Starts was founded on this premise. It's a registry for people who are staring over.

You can also find Olivia at on Instagram , Threads, and LinkedIn.
