Deja vu breakdowns and other things we learn on road trips...

Host Emillia Noordhoek shares deeply personal,  heartbreakingly poignant true stories about surviving personal  loss  and transforming trauma into “Random Acts of Living” a call to action to  get her through  some of  her most challenging moments. Recounting an unusual  childhood full of  weird, wonderful and truly funny moments to loss and redemption as  a very imperfect   single mother, artist, partner and community activist, she explores the stories that appear in our lives  in big and small ways, teaching us the joy of living and learning from day dreaming, singing out loud, being mischievous, to more serious endeavors such as art and music (both making and experiencing) community organizing, saving our democracy, social justice and climate change. We are all in this together and the stories that we tell and share with each other give us valuable insight into the state of our lives, both the public and private, because what seems random is really anything but!  Emillia Noordhoek is a social entrepreneur, mentor, and artist having lived the last 13 years on the small island of Molokai, Hawaii. She is a co-founder of both Sust`aina ble Molokai and the Molokai Arts Center and currently finds herself in the Midwest in the middle of the global pandemic and personal crisis. Emillia has been deeply influenced by Native Hawaiian leaders through the Aloha `Aina movement integrating the values she was taught into her daily life.   She seeks to find value and significance in the stories that shape our world and define us as members of this human race on the blue marble spinning in our universe. Join her every week for a unique take on living, breathing, and exploring our humanity through Random Acts of Living!
