This week on Living Well Together, we’re joined by the fierce, funny, and unapologetically authentic Megan Simpson — retired Army veteran and the Co-Owner of Beckel’s Humidor. After 26 years of full-time service in the National Guard, Megan took a swing at corporate America and quickly realized it wasn’t for her. So, what did she do? She teamed up with her cousin to open a one-of-a-kind cigar lounge that’s become a second home for many. Beckel’s isn’t just a humidor — it’s a hub of connection. Whether you're celebrating, venting, grieving, or just needing a space to breathe, the doors at Beckel’s open with a warm “Welcome Home.” Megan brings the same heart, grit, and structure she carried in the Army to her business, creating a safe and soulful space for people to gather. Tune in for real talk, big laughs, and a peek into a small-town space that’s redefining what community can look like — one cigar at a time.

After Lorne’s retirement from Ramstein Air Base in Germany, the Larsons settled in the Dayton area in 2009, drawn to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and the welcoming community of Fairborn. They built a life here, raising their children, Jordan and Xavier, and embracing the small-town charm and close-knit connections. Nicole and Lorne join us to discuss Jordan Larson INKorporated (Larson INK) , the foundation they created to honor their daughter, Jordan, who tragically passed in 2023 at the age of 21 due to Diabetic Ketoacidosis (DKA) from undiagnosed Type 1 Diabetes.

In this episode of Living Well Together, we sit down with Giselle Rodriguez, a real estate professional with a deep passion for community, wellness, and creating a true sense of home. Raised in a bilingual and bicultural military family, Giselle moved frequently as a child, making it difficult to feel rooted. It wasn’t until adulthood that she realized home isn’t just a place—it’s the people, the small joys, and the connections we build. Giselle shares how her career path took unexpected turns, from working in corporate to discovering a love for chiropractic and holistic healthcare, and ultimately, real estate. What started as a six-month experiment turned into a seven-year journey of helping people not just buy houses, but find spaces that align with their lifestyles and values. We also dive into her passion for supporting small businesses, her belief in the power of simple, everyday moments—like a favorite coffee shop or a local produce stand—and how she helps clients determine what kind of life they want and the home that best suits them.
