SUNDAY EDITION WITH ANTHONY CORONA 🎙️🧠💙

REWIRING THE MIND, REFRAMING THE JOURNEY

A Personal Conversation with Melissa Archer

Introducing her revolutionary new APP  NeuroRewire: Rewire & Reframe 

Presented by Anthony Corona Media, Home of the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Digital Media Content Services.

What if some of the reactions we have carried for years are not permanent parts of who we are?

What if the stories we tell ourselves can change?

And what if the brain can learn another way?

This week on Sunday Edition, Anthony Corona welcomes actress, web developer, entrepreneur, and self-proclaimed nerd Melissa Archer for a deeply personal, revealing, and sometimes wonderfully unexpected conversation about neuroscience, resilience, emotional well-being, and the remarkable possibilities of learning to think differently.

Of course, millions of daytime television fans know Melissa from her unforgettable performances as Natalie Buchanan on One Life to Live and Serena Mason on Days of Our Lives.

We spend a little time revisiting her career, but this conversation takes us somewhere very different.

For the full exploration of Melissa's acting career, memorable characters, and experiences in daytime television, we encourage listeners to enjoy our earlier Next Generation Entertainment Soaps special, A Dramatic Evening with Melissa Archer.

This time, we're going beyond the characters and behind the curtain.

We're talking about the woman herself.

The creator.

The thinker.

The woman who found herself asking difficult questions about her own mind and ultimately decided to do something with the answers she was discovering.

And yes, we discovered something else along the way.

We share a mutual love of Stuart Smalley, the unforgettable Saturday Night Live character whose daily affirmations reminded us that we are good enough, smart enough, and, doggone it, people like us!

There is plenty of laughter in this conversation.

But there is also a remarkable amount of truth beneath the humor.

Because sometimes the most difficult conversations we have are the ones taking place inside our own heads.

TWO DIFFERENT JOURNEYS. SOME REMARKABLY SIMILAR DISCOVERIES.

Melissa opens up about anxiety, performance, neurodivergence, confidence, difficult auditions, and some of the deeply personal experiences that led her to examine how her brain responds to the world.

She shares intimate details about challenging periods in her life, the emotional patterns she began recognizing, and the questions that eventually led her to explore neuroscience, neuroplasticity, and the practice of reframing our thoughts.

Anthony comes to this conversation from a very different journey, including the experience of sudden blindness and the continuing process of learning, adapting, and discovering who he wants to become.

Different lives.

Different circumstances.

Different reasons for asking some of the same questions.

Yet both have found themselves exploring the possibility that some of our most familiar reactions can be challenged, reconsidered, and gradually reshaped.

What happens when we recognize an automatic response before acting on it?

Can we learn to approach an uncomfortable situation differently?

How much of what we tell ourselves is based on what is happening today, and how much comes from experiences we have carried for years?

And how do we begin changing those patterns without pretending that the difficult things we have experienced never happened?

These are not abstract questions for either of us.

They are part of our lives.

FROM PERSONAL DISCOVERY TO NEUROREWIRE

Melissa's journey eventually led her to create NeuroRewire: Rewire & Reframe, an app designed to help people recognize negative thought patterns, practice reframing, and develop a more intentional relationship with their thoughts and emotional responses.

Drawing upon concepts associated with neuroscience and behavioral practices, the app introduces exercises involving breathing, emotional labeling, positive evidence, affirmations, reflection, and repetition.

But this is not simply a conversation about technology.

It's about the personal experiences that inspired the technology.

Melissa shares what led her to begin researching these ideas, how her background as a developer helped her turn those discoveries into something practical, and why creating NeuroRewire became such a meaningful project.

Perhaps most importantly, she explains why she wanted the app to remain free.

Not a brief trial that eventually demands payment.

Not a collection of essential features hidden behind a subscription.

A tool people could download, explore, and use without a financial barrier.

An optional tip jar allows people to support the project, but the app itself is free.

For Melissa, making these tools available to people matters.

And for Anthony, who approaches technology through the lived experience of blindness, that commitment opens an important conversation about accessibility, inclusion, and the different barriers people encounter when searching for useful resources.

ANTHONY'S OWN 30-DAY JOURNEY

Anthony has been using NeuroRewire for a little over 30 days.

And he has noticed a difference.

A real difference.

In his initial reactions.

In his response times.

In the way he processes certain thoughts, emotions, and situations before deciding what to do with them.

He's learning to recognize familiar patterns, question automatic responses, and give himself an opportunity to choose another approach.

Does that mean he has suddenly figured everything out?

Of course not!

But the experience has encouraged him to keep exploring what it means to become more of the person he wants to be.

NeuroRewire has become another useful tool in that personal toolbox.

And that is an important distinction.

Neither Melissa nor Anthony is suggesting that an app can magically solve life's problems, erase trauma, or replace individualized mental health care when it is needed.

This is about exploring practical exercises, practicing new habits, and recognizing that meaningful change can take patience, consistency, and time.

Sometimes the first step is simply noticing what is happening inside our minds before deciding how to respond.

And sometimes that small moment of awareness can open the door to something bigger.

THE CONVERSATION CONTINUES

We also discuss what Melissa hopes people will discover through NeuroRewire, the importance of making wellness resources approachable, and what she has learned about herself through the process of creating something intended to help others.

And we want to invite you into this exploration.

Download NeuroRewire.

Give it two weeks.

Explore the exercises.

Spend some time with the process.

Then come back and tell us what you discovered.

Did you notice anything about your automatic reactions?

Did certain exercises resonate with you?

Were there things that worked particularly well?

What didn't work?

And what questions would you like us to explore in future conversations?

Everyone's experience will be different, and we are interested in hearing those experiences, including the challenges and the questions.

Sunday Edition has more planned in our Mind Wellness arena, including personal conversations, practical resources, and Tech Spotlight explorations of technology that may help us better understand ourselves and the world around us.

Because this is not the end of a conversation.

It is another beginning.

Join Anthony Corona and Melissa Archer for an intimate, thought-provoking, and occasionally hilarious exploration of the human mind, the stories we tell ourselves, and the possibilities that emerge when we begin asking whether those stories can change.

And somewhere along the way, don't be surprised if Stuart Smalley makes another appearance!

After all, perhaps learning to believe in ourselves is one of the most interesting journeys we can take.

SUNDAY EDITION WITH ANTHONY CORONA

THE WOO-WOO LED YOU BACK TO YOU

A CONVERSATION WITH JAMIE ESTELLE ROTH

Sunday, October 11, 2026

1 PM Eastern

On Corona FM and 2020 The Beacon

Sometimes the journey we begin is not the journey we end up taking.

And sometimes, when we are desperately searching for a way back to the

life we once knew, we discover something entirely different.

We discover ourselves.

This Sunday, Anthony Corona welcomes bestselling author, podcast host,

and fellow traveler on the unexpected journey of sight loss, Jamie

Estelle Roth.

Jamie was in her fifties when she woke up one spring morning having

lost the vision in her left eye. What followed was a devastating

progression of sight loss that would change her life, her

relationships, her plans, and ultimately, her understanding of

herself.

Like so many of us who have experienced sudden, life-altering

circumstances, Jamie went searching for answers.

Traditional Western medicine. Eastern medicine. Alternative therapies.

Spiritual exploration. Metaphysical practices.

And what Jamie affectionately calls the "woo-woo."

She was searching for a cure. Searching for relief. Searching for

something that might restore what she had lost.

But somewhere along the way, something remarkable happened.

As Anthony observed during their conversation, the woo-woo did not

lead Jamie to a cure.

The woo-woo led her back to herself.

"THE WOO-WOO LED YOU BACK TO YOU."

And that realization became one of the defining moments of a

conversation filled with humor, vulnerability, honesty, and unexpected

connections.

Anthony and Jamie share different stories, but there are striking

similarities in their experiences of sudden blindness, grief,

adjustment, acceptance, and the sometimes complicated process of

rebuilding a life we never imagined having to live.

Together, they explore what happens when the answers we desperately

want are not necessarily the answers we receive.

How do we move from searching for a cure to discovering a new sense of purpose?

What does surrender really mean?

Can acceptance and hope exist in the same space?

And can we embrace spiritual exploration while still asking questions,

maintaining skepticism, and recognizing the realities of our

circumstances?

Jamie shares the journey behind her bestselling memoir, "Should've

Seen That Coming! Navigating the In-Between Moments of Acceptance,

Surrender, and Resilience."

With the book's second anniversary arriving tomorrow, Monday, October

12, we also talk about the experience of bringing her own words to

life by narrating the audiobook herself.

There is something especially powerful about hearing someone tell

their own story, in their own voice.

We also explore Jamie's podcast, "My Higher Self Has Questions," where

she brings curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism to

conversations about mysticism, intuition, spirituality, and personal

growth.

And don't we all have questions for our higher selves?

Beyond her writing and podcasting, Jamie creates spaces for women

navigating the transitions of midlife, including menopause, empty

nesting, changing identities, and the conversations that too often go

unspoken. Through her in-person gathering circle, The Gathering, she

encourages honesty, connection, and the freedom to explore life's

complicated chapters.

For Anthony, this was more than an interview.

It was a conversation between two people whose lives took unexpected

turns, who recognized pieces of their own experiences in one another,

and who discovered that even when our stories are different, the

emotions and questions surrounding them can be remarkably familiar.

It is a conversation about blindness, certainly.

But it is also about resilience, identity, humor, healing,

spirituality, and finding our way forward when the map we once

followed no longer exists.

And perhaps, somewhere along the way, finding our way back to ourselves.

Join us for another Sunday Edition where personal stories become

meaningful conversations, and meaningful conversations remind us that

none of us has to navigate life's unexpected chapters alone.

AN INTIMATE EVENING WITH MONICA 🎶

One woman. One life. Twelve songs. And a whole lot of stories between the notes.

Every life has a soundtrack.

For Monica, music has marked beginnings, carried her through unexpected turns, connected her to faith and family, and given her another way to tell her story.

In this very special An Intimate Evening, Monica invites us into that story.

And what an evening it became.

So many friends and members of our community showed up to cheer Monica on, listen to her story, laugh with her, and surround her with the kind of warmth that made this conversation feel less like an interview and much more like a room full of people getting to know someone they thought they already knew.

Monica is modest. She is funny. She is wonderfully spunky. And underneath all of that is a woman who knows herself remarkably well and who was willing to be vulnerable about the experiences that helped her become that woman.

We travel back to Monica's childhood in New York City, where she grew up as the oldest of four children and the only blind person in her family. We talk about her Dominican heritage, growing up speaking Spanish and English, and beginning violin lessons at just six years old at the New York Lighthouse for the Blind.

And, yes, we make our way to Sesame Street. 💚

Monica shares memories of being that bright little girl appearing alongside Oscar the Grouch, teaching him about Braille, playing Vivaldi on her violin, spending time at Mr. Hooper's store, and appearing with Aristotle, the blind Muppet.

Nearly fifty years later, those memories look a little different.

The little girl simply lived them.

The woman now gets to understand what they meant.

But this evening became about much more than childhood memories.

Monica speaks beautifully and openly about faith, including the journey that led her to really find her own footing spiritually while she was in college.

We talk about education, family, independence, career, love, and the people who arrive in our lives and quietly change their direction.

That includes the college roommate who introduced Monica to a man named Tom. ❤️

And Tom joined us.

Monica's husband of 24 years came aboard to share some very funny memories, but also some deeply loving and touching reflections on the woman who is very clearly still his lady love.

Our Behind the Music cohost Tim was there as well, doing what Tim does so well, listening, reflecting, and adding his own perspective as Monica's story unfolded.

We had planned to spend much more time getting inside Monica's recording process and talking about how she selects songs, interprets them, and creates the performances we have come to enjoy through Behind the Music.

We barely got there.

There was simply too much life to talk about.

Instead, the music Monica personally selected became our roadmap through conversations about childhood, blindness, family, Sesame Street, college, faith, marriage, friendship, and discovering who you are along the way.

Barbra Streisand. Whitney Houston. Mariah Carey. INXS. CeCe Winans. Music from The Greatest Showman. And more.

Twelve songs serving as guideposts through one extraordinary life. 🎵

There is laughter here.

There is vulnerability.

There are memories that haven't been visited in a very long time.

There are moments of faith, love, reflection, and the comfortable chaos that happens when a planned interview gives way to a genuine conversation.

And somewhere along the way, An Intimate Evening with Monica became exactly what this series was created to be.

Not a biography.

Not an interview.

A journey.

And then, because Monica is the generous, loving person she is, she decided to share the spotlight. 🎤

Monica and I recently experimented with one of those love songs almost everyone remembers.

Only we flipped the script.

Literally.

And we close out this very special evening with Monica's generosity, a little surprise, and our duet of Always by Atlantic Starr. ❤️🎶

Come meet Monica between the notes.

MANIPULATION: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

Presented by The Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts 

When does persuasion become manipulation? When does influence cross

the line into control? And is manipulation always a bad thing?

Izzy leads a candid Sunday Edition conversation about the ways

manipulation shows up in relationships, families, advocacy,

organizations, and everyday life.

Anthony joins as co-host, with panelists Lavette, a.k.a. Weevie

Wonder, Ahmed, and Jeremy bringing their own experiences and

perspectives to a conversation that moves beyond simple definitions

and into the complicated gray areas of human behavior.

We also welcome Lavette, a.k.a. Weevie Wonder, as a new contributor to

the Sunday Edition family and a creative content provider in her own

right.

A Sunday Edition conversation about persuasion, influence, boundaries,

intention, control, advocacy, relationships, and that sometimes very

thin line between getting someone to see your point of view and

manipulating them into it.

Listen, think about it, argue with us a little, and join the conversation.

THE TOAST

Some stories are meant to be heard.

Others linger.

And some, apparently, refuse to leave you alone until you finally let them out into the world.

The Toast is lush, romantic, funny, tender, and occasionally heartbreaking, a story about love, life, the choices we make, and the moments we don’t realize will matter until long after they’ve passed.

Three men and a little lady. A pack of absolutely adorable dogs. And one rather complicated question: Who belongs with whom, who belongs to whom, and who deserves a happily ever after?

Surround them with friendship, romance, laughter, heartbreak, complicated histories, unexpected turns, and those wonderfully ordinary moments that somehow become the ones we remember most.

There are life lessons tucked between the laughter. Heartbreak hiding around a few corners. Dogs who understand considerably more than anyone gives them credit for. And at the center of it all, people trying to navigate love, loss, hope, friendship, family, and everything that happens in between.

This story came back to me.

Not all at once. Not with some grand announcement. It simply began nagging at me again, quietly at first and then persistently, as though these characters had decided they’d waited long enough.

The Toast is not based on anyone’s lived experience. These characters are mine. The story is mine.

But some of the feelings are borrowed.

The original spark came from a real-life, full-circle story of love that touched me deeply. Something about it stayed with me, and eventually those feelings found their way into fictional characters, different lives, and a story entirely their own.

I wrote The Toast years ago and then put it away.

At the time, I don’t think I had found the voice to give the story the meaning I felt it deserved. Sometimes the writing is finished before the writer is.

Maybe some stories have their own timing.

Maybe we don’t always understand why something from our past suddenly reaches forward and asks to be looked at again.

Whatever the reason, this one wanted another life.

So I listened.

And now, after all these years, The Toast is finally being birthed into life.

We don’t want to tell you too much.

This is one of those stories best entered without a map.

Pour something you love. Find a comfortable place. Put on your headphones and give yourself permission to disappear for a while.

Meet three men, a little lady, and a pack of dogs.

Stay for everything that happens when lives become tangled together.

Because The Toast isn’t simply about what happens.

It’s about what remains after it does.

It’s about the people who change us. The moments that stay with us. The things we understand only after enough life has happened to teach us how to understand them.

And when the final words have been spoken, don’t be surprised if you sit there for another moment before reaching for the stop button.

The Toast.

A story that may leave you thinking.

But more importantly, feeling.

And maybe, somewhere in there, remembering a story of your own. Actions available

THE TRUTH THAT MATTERS

An Original Audio Drama

By: SUEELLEN MELO

A writer.

A photographer.

And a night of violence.

When you fear the end is near, you get real about yourself and your world.

As a writer and photographer go in search of one truth, they find others about the world, themselves, and each other.

The Truth That Matters is the latest original audio drama from writer SUEELLEN MELO, taking a search for truth and placing it against a night when suddenly much more than the story itself is at stake.

What begins with two people looking for answers becomes something far more personal.

What do we discover about ourselves when circumstances strip away the things we use to protect ourselves?

What truths become impossible to avoid when we begin to believe there may not be a tomorrow in which to deal with them?

And what happens when the truth we thought we were searching for is not necessarily the truth we find?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

SUEELLEN MELO is a writer, performer, podcaster and frequent contributor across the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Digital Media Content Services.

Her creative life has included writing for a student newspaper, published poetry, song lyrics, theater and performance. She also co-authored transitional songs for a production of California Suite.

During the COVID era, SUEELLEN became involved with Community Karaoke, which eventually led her to Behind the Music and then to Next Generation Entertainment Soaps, where she fulfilled a longtime dream of becoming a podcaster.

Today, she is one of the co-hosts of Next Generation Entertainment Soaps and a familiar voice throughout the Sunday Edition family.

But SUEELLEN is also a writer in her own right.

Her contributions have explored disability, advocacy, accessibility, entertainment, human relationships and the complicated spaces where all of those things sometimes collide.

The Truth That Matters gives us another opportunity to experience that storytelling in a completely different form.

EDITOR'S NOTE

We love SUEELLEN's contributions to the Sunday Edition family.

Yes, she is one of our co-hosts on Next Generation Entertainment Soaps.

Yes, she is a frequent contributor throughout our programming.

But she is also a terrific writer in her own right, and The Truth That Matters is another reminder of exactly that.

The story is fascinating and nicely paced, with a whole lot of atmosphere.

It takes its time when it should, moves when it needs to and allows the tension to build around the characters rather than simply announcing itself.

And then there is the production.

Working in collaboration with Danielle and The Amirra McCoy Project Audio Drama Podcast, the production work gives SUEELLEN's story room to become something more than words being read into a microphone.

It becomes a lush audio drama.

Those familiar with the Sunday Edition presentation of Under Candlelight already know what Danielle and The Amirra McCoy Project can do with audio storytelling.

Atmosphere matters.

Sound matters.

Silence matters.

Pacing matters.

And when all of those elements are allowed to work with the writing instead of fighting for attention, audio storytelling can build an entire world without showing us a single picture.

That is what makes this one such compelling listening.

So turn down the distractions.

Put on the headphones if you have them.

And spend some time with a writer, a photographer and a night when searching for one truth may uncover quite a few others.

The Truth That Matters.

Written by SUEELLEN MELO.

Produced in collaboration with Danielle and The Amirra McCoy Project Audio Drama Podcast.

THE SUNDAY EDITION FAMILY OF PODCASTS PRESENTS

BEHIND THE MUSIC: THE AI EDITION

Hosted by Danielle, Amethyst and Mark

We are so thrilled to present the premiere of a brand new addition to the Sunday Edition family, Behind the Music: The AI Edition.

And this one is something very different.

Anthony Corona was more than happy to pass the mic to Danielle, Amethyst and Mark for a fascinating, creative and wonderfully entertaining exploration of what happens when human imagination meets artificial intelligence.

The AI Edition brings together AI generated music, audio drama clips, soundscapes, storytelling, conversation and a look behind the curtain at the creative process itself.

Danielle, Amethyst and Mark share some of their own processes, exploring how an idea moves from the mind to the mouth, from fingertips to technology, and ultimately into music, drama and sound.

Several contributors joined us as well, sharing their creations and, just as importantly, the journeys behind them.

How did the idea begin?

What tools were used?

What changed along the way?

And what happens when technology becomes another instrument in the creative toolbox?

The results are fascinating.

The music is fabulous.

The stories are compelling and entertaining.

And the conversations about process are educational, accessible and inspiring.

Behind the Music: The AI Edition is designed to be a creative and supportive environment where people can experiment, share, learn from one another and have some fun along the way.

And the Sunday Edition family of podcasts and digital media content services could not be more proud or excited to provide a home for it.

The AI Edition will return once a month as a gathering for creators, storytellers, experimenters and anyone curious about what can happen when an idea meets a new set of creative tools.

And there is room for you at the microphone.

Want to participate in a future AI Edition?

Or perhaps our regular Behind the Music is more your speed, featuring karaoke performances, original music, instrumental pieces, spoken word and other creative contributions.

We would love to hear what you create.

Take 2 Radio, in partnership with Sunday Edition, welcomes acclaimed actress, director, producer, and activist Rosanna Arquette for a candid conversation spanning more than four decades of film, family, creativity, friendship, and advocacy.

Rosanna reflects on growing up in an extraordinary artistic family. Both of her parents were in the business, and creativity was woven throughout the Arquette household.

She shares some of her earliest artistic influences, including seeing The Red Shoes as a young child and dreaming of becoming a ballerina.

Rosanna also takes us back to early in her career and shares memories of working with the legendary Bette Davis. She reflects on the lessons she learned from another powerful woman who was willing to stand up against the Hollywood studio system, even when doing so could have cost her everything. That courage, combined with Davis's undeniable talent and drive, left an impression Rosanna still carries with her.

She also shares personal memories of working with and becoming friends with David Bowie. Rosanna takes us beyond the icon and introduces us to a side of Bowie the public did not always get to see. She remembers his kindness, generosity, and the ways he quietly served as a mentor, sponsor, and friend to artists who needed encouragement, opportunity, or support. She reflects on their friendship and the lasting influence he continues to have on her life.

Of course, no conversation with Rosanna would be complete without Desperately Seeking Susan. She shares memories of working with Madonna and director Susan Seidelman, and talks about the bond she and Susan formed through the film that continues today. Rosanna also remembers celebrating the 40th anniversary of Desperately Seeking Susan with Susan in Italy last year and reflects on the remarkable life the film has had across generations.

The conversation turns to the Arquette family. Rosanna explains that she and her siblings generally do not spend much time talking about their work when they are together, but her pride in them is unmistakable. She reflects on Patricia Arquette, David Arquette, and Richmond Arquette, as well as the late Alexis Arquette.

Rosanna remembers Alexis with particular love and pride, honoring her work and advocacy for transgender people and the broader LGBTQIA plus community.

Rosanna is equally candid about her own career behind the camera. She discusses directing and producing Searching for Debra Winger, her acclaimed documentary exploring the complicated choices, pressures, expectations, and realities faced by women working in Hollywood.

Those themes lead naturally into a larger conversation about activism. Rosanna has long used her voice to advocate for women, equality, safety, and accountability in the entertainment industry. She speaks frankly about harassment, inequality, the pressures women continue to face, and what she sees as a growing refusal by women to quietly accept oppression.

The conversation also touches on balancing career and family, her admiration for Dolly Parton, recent and upcoming projects, and her experiences meeting fans at conventions and discovering just how deeply some of her work continues to resonate.

It is a conversation about much more than a celebrated career.

It is about family.

It is about friendship.

It is about the artists who influence us and the people behind the icons.

It is about the movies and people that stay with us.

And it is about finding your voice, using it, and refusing to surrender it.
