Your Favorite Quotes

"Are you staying in reality?" -- Andrea Catherine

"When I'm cultivating my inner witness, suddenly it's like I'm not alone." -- Natha Campanella

"In order to keep your equilibrium, and feel nurtured and nourished, you need to make sure senses are pleased." -- Natha Campanella

"How would we ever deal with adversity if our parents met our every single need?" -- Natha Campanella

"There is a true hunger for connection, and I know when that need isn't met, that's when I overeat...If I'm in connection with people...it does affirm this human need that I believe we all have to be connected at some level...that does satiate a certain hunger within us." -- Andrea Catherine

"The more we know ourselves, the more self-loving we can be." -- Natha Campanella

Meet Natha:

Extreme sensitivity to the emotions of other people prompted Natha Perkins Campanella to try and make sense of her own spiritual journey early in life. A natural student, she became fascinated with astrology when she realized how well it helped explain some of her most personal mysteries. She's heard people say that "astronomy is a science but astrology is just an art…" (she begs to differ). Natha is a Master Life Coach, a writer and a professional Astrologer who uses a combination of astrology and intuitive guidance to help people understand themselves better, and THAT is definitely an art!

Your Favorite Quotes

"Being other people, I was really good at that, but giving voice to myself….I was not able to do that, because I didn't know how to be myself and speak up." -Elsie Escobar

"My biggest foundation is always thinking that I am not here for myself, I am here to represent a lot more. With that responsibility I feel powerful. There is no way I am going to let all of these people down, because I am representing." - Elsie Escobar

"We have so many blind spots that we don't see. Sometimes parents, sometimes culture, sometimes privilege...is sheltering us. We don't see the totality of who we are sometimes." - Elsie Escobar

"When I feel and sound the most at ease there is a lower quality, there's a less rushed quality [to my voice]." - Andrea Catherine

"How do I cultivate a platform where all voices are welcome and included without disregarding my own privileg?" - Andrea Catherine

"You've got to be intentional about the clarity of your message in reaching it out. You've got to look at your own stuff and ask, 'Are all of these conversations the same?... Would I benefit from opening up to other types of people, to other places, to other experiences?'"- Elsie Escobar

"First, always listen." - Elsie Escobar

Meet Elsie:

I am a ten year plus veteran in the industry and inductee to the Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame. I know the heart and soul of podcasters and podcasting beyond Apple Podcasts and public media. It is with this primary point of view of the average podcast listener (via thousands of hours of podcast listening) and independent podcast producer that I bring a unique perspective to the podcasting industry. My passion within the industry is podcasting's rapidly-changing environment, impact, access, community building, and advocacy.I welcome the opportunity to elevate existing conversations around podcast consumption and initiate ways to reach new listeners above focusing on metrics, advertising and monetization into social change and using podcasting as a tool for personal growth and transformation.
