This episode's two flavors:  Gourmet Red Pepper and Feta and Lay's Burger King Flame-Broiled Hamburger have nothing in common except that I got them both in Turkey.  And also that they reminded me of Sevinç Gürmen Hall and her stage persona, Joy G. Wild.

 
"Sevinç" is Turkish for "Joy"--as in the Joy of Pole--the studio where she creates an inclusive, supportive community of pole dancers, movers, acrobats, and fun people of all genders.

We became friends in Turkey where our paths crossed as a couple out of a handful of circus performers living and working in Istanbul, and we continue to be friends as a result of our common interest in mobility and movement training and a weird coincidence that we talk about in this episode!
