May 05, 2021 Ares Bartell: Writer, Activist, Transgender | Episode 7 |
We're back for Episode 7 with Ares Bartell! Ares is a good friend with a deep mind and unique perspective. He is a member of my AmeriCorps cohort, a published writer, an amateur natural historian, and a trans-man identifying as pansexual. Ares and I discuss what makes him, him; from professional wit to books and insects. We get wonderfully lost in discussions of loss, religion, and heritage, but bring it all back to a very inspiring close. We talk Jack Kerouac, Lovecraft, writing, suicide, heaven, the Gunch, relationships, domestic violence, and so much more.

April 21, 2021 Laura Gilbert: Leader, Seeker, Mother | Episode 6 |
In Episode 6, I am so excited to be talking to Laura Gilbert, a mentor of mine, and the NCOE AmeriCorps VIP Program Manager. She is a leader that guides with compassion, empathy, and constant self-work; but in this episode Laura tells us about her life outside of AmeriCorps leadership. We discuss how growing up in Stockton, CA transformed her perspective on racial inequality, and how dropping out of college helped her find the right path. She tells us about about the friendships made and challenges face while completing two years of AmeriCorps NCCC, and sums it all up with how much being a mother has changed her life. In between, we talk introverts, empaths, travel, seekers, leadership, allies, silencing, compassion, independence, relationships, trauma and much more.
