Rob Bell and I explore the transformative process of writing “Where’d You Park Your Spaceship?”, his galactic book series with memorable characters set within a post-apocalyptic universe.

We also talk cositas like bread; parenting; grief; and the emptying of our assumptions to enjoy life now.

Rob Bell is the New York Times Bestselling author of fourteen books and plays which have been translated into 25 languages. His podcast—one of my personal favorites—is called The RobCast. His work is quoted and celebrated by greats like Oprah, Brené Brown, Elizabeth Gilbert, and fellow Wonder-keepers.

Tune into this second part of my conversation with Melody Gonzalez, where we explore the depths of dance and how we see the embodiment of peace from the individual to the communal level as integral to the world we are creating together. Thank you for listening to Cositas, Wonder-Keeper community! With love, Priscilla :)

Melody brings us into worlds of wonder through embodied story-telling: from dancing Brazilian Samba to Puertorican Bomba and so much more. Melo invites us into the universal medicine that is moving our bodies.

Melody Gonzalez is the co-founder of Peace Inside Out and she facilitates community restoration and healing spaces. She is a mother, dancer, musician, birth keeper, Zumba/Meditation instructor, and interpreter/translator at Guani Tenoli (find her at guanitenoli.com and on Instagram as @melodia_libre).

In this episode Priscilla sits down with her sister—the wonderful singer/songwriter CRYS—on her 29th birthday.

Together they reminisce about growing up as “Irish twins” and they share the lessons they’ve learned through letting go of past seasons and starting anew over and over in life. Through this delightful conversation they flow with special sister stories from their childhood to their shared youth.

They dive deep into how we are all creative beings and why we should take up space to do what we are here to do. CRYS encourages us to release the urge to compare ourselves to others in ways that aren’t helpful, and to instead base our creativity on inspiration that’s all around us.

CRYS tells us how she makes space for songwriting and easy ways that we can create our own writing practice!
