Come along for a ride with Dr. Gigi Kroll, a leading voice in women’s health, to discuss how her practice has evolved over the decades—and why she made the intentional decision to transition from delivering babies to focusing on the middle years of a woman’s life.

Dr. Kroll shares how declining hormone levels impact musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, cognitive, metabolic, and dermatologic health, and why women deserve compassionate, cohesive, and highly informed care at every stage.

We also discuss her first annual Women’s Health Masterclass, hosted in partnership with Pause to Action at Newport Beach Country Club, where leading experts gather to close the knowledge gap in midlife medicine.

Liz Canady & Susan Bush – the powerhouse gifting duo and founders of Blue Atlas Marketplace on Balboa Island in Newport Beach, CA.

Greta Harrison – designer, creative visionary, and founder of Newport Nowhere, the West Coast-inspired design studio known for its signature toile patterns and coastal artistry.

Together, these local entrepreneurs share the story behind their new collaboration—a thoughtfully designed collection of stationery, candles, entertaining pieces, dog accessories, and curated gifts now available at Blue Atlas Marketplace. Each item celebrates Newport Beach’s iconic landmarks, coastal lifestyle, and the deep sense of place that inspires both brands.

We cruised the Newport Beach Harbor, talking about how their passion project turned into one of Orange County’s standout bespoke catering businesses, The Hardware House Kitchen. From their early beginnings to building a brand centered on coastal California cuisine with Italian roots, they share how their love for food, partnership, and community shaped their journey. If you’re searching for catering for pizza parties, bridal showers, weddings, and other special events, or cooking classes, this conversation offers an inside look at the heart behind their beloved business.

We cruised the harbor with Jake Luna, founder of Newport Run Club, to unpack how one unexpected decision changed his life—and sparked a growing community. Jake shares his personal journey of moving to Newport Beach, navigating the challenge of making new friends, and how running—something he never enjoyed—became the catalyst for connection.

What began as a casual conversation at happy hour quickly turned into running with a few friends, and within weeks, the launch of Newport Run Club. In this conversation, Jake reflects on how the club evolved from a small group into a true movement, welcoming everyone from young professionals to parents running with their kids, grandparents, and high school students.

More than fitness, Newport Run Club has become a place where strangers show up and leave feeling like they belong.

Now celebrating its 6th season, Once Upon a Christmas transforms a tiny Balboa Island shop into the North Pole, where families step through hidden doors to meet Santa’s talking reindeer, help his elves make toys, and end their journey in Santa’s cozy living room — where he already knows each child’s name and story. ✨ In this interview, Alison and Elf share how the dream began, what inspires their immersive storytelling, and why this heartwarming experience has become a cherished Newport Beach holiday tradition for so many families.

In this Duffy Chats episode, we sit down with body-positive influencer, content creator, and #SameStyleDifferentSize founder Sabrina Chazen to talk about size inclusivity, style confidence, and how she’s inspiring a global community to embrace fashion at every size. Sabrina opens up about her journey, her mission, and the message behind her viral movement — reminding women everywhere that style has no size and confidence is for everybody.

Join us on this special maiden voyage of Duffy Chats as we cruise Newport Harbor with none other than the legendary Marshall “Duffy” Duffield — inventor of the world’s first Duffy electric boat, former mayor, and two-term Newport Beach councilman.

Duffy shares the surprising story behind his iconic creation, including how the boating world first reacted (and the early years when people laughed at the idea of an electric boat). He also recounts the moment he realized the Duffy was becoming a coastal lifestyle staple. From a handful of boats a year to a global symbol of effortless harbor cruising, this is a conversation filled with history, heart, and a little humor.
