Waylon talks about how, as human being and as a writer, we can uncover our voices. Hint: it’s not as impossible as it feels. “Ironically, simply getting present with yourself and out of your own thoughts will enable you to find the words that are genuine and helpful to others.” ~ Waylon Lewis Learn more about Elephant Academy's Find your Voice course: https://bit.ly/FindYourVoiceFall2024 Subscribe to get our full conversations weekly: https://elephantjournal.com/videos

241. How to Find your Voice—as a Writer, & as a Human.

Waylon shares a little (big) way we can thank mothers and all good parents everywhere: “I want to do a video in honor of Mother’s Day and of wonderful parents everywhere, including fathers. But particularly single parents, and particularly single mothers, and particularly my mom, who is a single mom. One of the gifts of society—or lack or lack of gift—can be supporting single parents..” ~ Waylon Lewis Subscribe to get our full conversations weekly.

240. What we can do for Mom, this Mother’s Day.

In this week’s Mindful Monday video & podcast, Waylon talks politics. "Stop covering politics," some of our dear readers cry every time we post something relephant. Look: politics are life. Equal rights, empathy, fair economy, healthcare. We can't ignore what's happening, and you shouldn't either. ~ Waylon Subscribe to get our full conversations weekly.

239. Let’s be Smart about our Political Passions.

Waylon shares with readers one simple, quick reminder about the act of being vulnerable. “Vulnerability is not weakness. It’s true strength—if it’s genuine, not mere emotionalism. ~ Waylon Lewis  >> Read more about emotionalism: Emotionalism Isn’t Cool. >> Curious about Elephant Academy and what we teach? What we offer is hard to explain in a handful of words without them turning into word soup, but it’s got a little something for everyone out there on the path of discovering their passion, finding their voice, and, yes, embracing their vulnerability. Find out more here.  Subscribe to get our full conversations weekly.

238. Vulnerability is not Weakdd.

Waylon encourages us to honor Earth Day every day, not just one day a year. Giving a care for our one and only planet is not about being perfect, or being a goody-two-shoes, but about living a mindful life and ensuring future generations can as well. "Ultimately, like any kind of love, any kind of open heart, caring is ultimately our only conduit or connection to a meaningful life—even if sometimes caring means we're sad. Let's try to actually honor Earth Day and actually honor equity and actually honor and address our climate crisis in a meaningful way." ~ Waylon Lewis  Subscribe to get our full conversations weekly.
