Jonah made a bold choice at 17 to intern in Los Angeles and endure a 7-8 hour round trip commute so he could pursue his career. But his most impactful story is the one he tells daily, encouraging everyone he meets on their "soul journey" to remember that our purpose is to expand with each experience and not let fear define our choices. Listen and learn why we should each have an ancestor table.

If you have a pup, find your way to Megan – she is a passionate and compassionate dog trainer, who listens to the animals as well as their owners. She has a kind heart, loves knee football and grits from Jacksonville, and is simply delightful.

Julie is the teacher you will wish you had in school – she is kind, warm, and supportive. She is living her dream, even though she knows she is not done learning and growing. She taught me that table manners can be an expression of love, and that the little sister should never be underestimated.

Jenna has overcome greater challenges than most of us and yet she is one of the most centered and positive people I have had the honor to meet. Listening to her speak about her work and perspective enhanced my day. She lives her mantra – to feel fulfilled even when things are bumpy around us.

I want to be more like Cathy, who has lived her life knowing that if a door is open, you can walk through it without a plan and figure it out along the way! She was able to use that strength to pursue her life's work, which is simply an embodiment of her desire to help others along their journey. Cathy spreads unconditional love and reminds her family and friends not to let anyone dictate what you can achieve.

Brian is one of the bravest people I have spoken with – at 50, he left a successful business behind to move to New York City and pursue his dream of being an actor. He believes that we all have a life purpose, and you never know how or when you will find it. Check out his episode to learn about his "attitude of gratitude" and the most incredible and unique superpower he wants to have.

Laura is a delightful, rare, and beautiful combination of artist and spiritual mentor. As an artist, she creates bronze statutes that have traveled around the world to inspire and raise money for charities and found their way into the homes of collectors. And as a spiritual mentor, she encourages us all to shower our "shadowy bits" with light and love, invite our demons to tea, and remember that we have the power to lead with positivity. Her manner and message will carry you through your day.

Stacy always loved to sing, and now she's an entertainment entrepreneur, performing and connecting with people through her upbeat (and sometimes quirky) music. When she's not on stage, she teaches, helping other musicians follow their dreams. Stacy makes sure to keep a positive mindset – and a healthy dose of humor even during the pandemic.

Paul's enthusiasm for his passion is impressive – he's a blacksmith who creates authentic swords and knives with the same method used hundreds of years ago, in a forge built by his father. It was a pleasure to meet this unique man who loves animals and believes that life is too short to be mean, angry, or miserable.

Since Bevin grew up moving around, she knows what it means to be the new kid, and now keeps her arms wide open to understand everyone she meets. She is both rooted in science as an industrial hygienist (you have to listen to understand), and in music, deriving her talent from her father. It's important to her to break down racial barriers and teach people one on one that inequity should be challenged. It was a delicious conversation, and if I ever get to meet her I will let her drive (again, you have to listen to understand.)
