Soul Mate. You see and hear that phrase everywhere. Everyone, it seems, is searching for that elusive perfect romantic partner. But in reality, a soul mate is not always a love interest. Your parents, your children, your friends, and your work colleagues can all be your soul mates. But there’s a flip side to the soul mate relationship. Some are actually cell mates who keep you emotionally imprisoned. ot for the transcendentalists.

Internationally recognized Researcher, Teacher, Author, and Past-Life Therapist, Joanne DiMaggio, MA, CHt, has published seven books including the one we will be discussing today, and hundreds of magazine articles for both mainstream and esoteric audiences.

Today my special guest is Jen Tota McGivney author of FINDING YOUR WALDEN: How to Strive Less, Simplify More, & Embrace What Matters Most.

FINDING YOUR WALDEN is self-help meets choose your adventure inspired by the philosophy of Thoreau. It applies a journalist’s lens to a misunderstood literary icon, exploring how experts—psychologists, leaders, and scholars—support Thoreau’s principles as guideposts for today’s Great Reassessment and how they can be adapted today, and why they should. As people reassess priorities to create values-based lifestyles in a profit-based society, Thoreau’s life offers a precedent, and his philosophy provides a path.

Finding Your Walden isn’t about shunning money or success. It’s about grappling with the purpose of the first and the meaning of the second. Thoreau sets us on a path to discover fulfillment and happiness—we just need to stop at a cabin on our way.

In 2004, Tamara Dean stepped away from the sterile hum of office life and moved to a farm in Wisconsin’s Driftless Area—a land marked by steep hills and deeply carved valleys, laced with spring-fed streams. She was searching for a different way of being: to live lightly on the planet, to find grounding in the rituals of self-sufficiency, and to imagine a future that would be resilient in the face of climate upheaval. In her book SHELTER AND STORM: At Home in the Driftless, Tamara shares twelve finely honed essays that weave together nature, history, and science as she unravels the

SHELTER AND STORM invites readers to step into the Driftless Area's untamed beauty and meditate on how we tend the earth in times of uncertainty, what we owe our neighbors, and ways we thrive in community. How do moments of ecological stewardship reveal the deeper threads of human connection? And how do we honor both the land that has shaped us for millennia and the lives of those who will inherit it from us?
