Elizabeth Sanderson, Chief Marketing Officer at Sunflare Solar, joins us for this episode. After gaining 20 years of experience in advertising, she suddenly felt that it was time for a change.

This brought her to work for a non-profit in Australia for 6 years. She then returned to the USA feeling that she still wanted to do something good for the world, which is when she was drawn towards Sunflare Solar.

The company aims to bring solar power to places that it hasn’t before, such as RVs and trailers, with the mission to reduce CO2.

Elizabeth goes deeper into how she found the clarity that caused her to leave her industry, which even included physical indicators. When a friend referred Elizabeth to interview with Sunflare Solar, she was impressed at their vision because of her strong love for the environment. 

Elizabeth relates the use of solar energy to her philosophy of only using what we need, which leads Kathy into talking about her experiences of camping with her family.

No worries if you are new to solar energy, because Elizabeth shares tips for anyone who wants to start using it.

The Law of Attraction for Kids with Michael Detrick

Today’s guest is Michael Detrick, author of “Think, Think, Think: The Law of Attraction for Kids.” He has a bachelor’s degree in metaphysical science, over twenty years experience working in nutritional and natural health, and is a grandfather.

With his father being in the American military during Michael’s youth, Michael travelled to many different places and experienced lots of cultures. Michael wondered if there were any materials written specifically for kids about the benefits of having a positive attitude but did not find any, which inspired him to take it upon himself to create this resource.

The main character in his book thinks negative and fearful thoughts about a bully in his neighborhood, but then stops himself and begins thinking happy and positive thoughts. Michael shares his writing process, writing style, and what he wants children to do after reading the book. He also educates us about why silliness is so important for kids and parents.

In 2006, Julie Potiker thought she might have a brain tumour. Fearing the worst, she visited a neurologist, eventually finding that mindfulness training would be ideal for improving her health.

Once upon a time, mindfulness was dismissed more as “woo woo” and for hippies. However, scientific research has shown time and time again that there is truth to these methods, backing up things that previously had seen less legitimate.

For Julie, things got very difficult when her twins were 13 years old. She felt like life was just too difficult.

After taking her first round of mindfulness training, she eventually went on to study yoga, meditation, and prayer. She’s now taken her transformational teaching out into the world and has written a book “Life Falls Apart, but You Don’t Have To: Mindful Methods for Staying Calm In the Midst of Chaos.”

In this episode, Julie shares the details of what led to her tipping point in life, why she wrote the book, and methods you can use to improve your own mindfulness, decreasing anxiety and depression, and increasing your wellbeing. Sponsor:

Camping gear can take up lots of space in storage and it can be stressful trying to figure out what to buy. This is where Jenny Owens got the idea for her business, CampRents!

Jenny realized that in areas without a local backpacking shop, camping supplies may be a barrier to people getting outdoors. CampRents ships almost everything you need for a great camping trip right to your door, and then you simply ship it back when you’re done.

With home sizes shrinking, today’s sharing economy, and more people getting outdoors, Jenny saw a demand for such as service and decided to pursue it.

In this episode you’ll hear lots of tips for camping and getting outdoors, along with a rundown of how CampRents works. They even have a charity arm dedicated to getting children outdoors.

To check out what CampRents has to offer, check out their website camprents.com.
