  • 068: Be Still
    Amidst the constant tornado of life as a mom, entrepreneur, comedian, chronic overthinker, cat owner, big dreamer, I have really sunk my teeth into the power and importance of being still. Taking time to stop moving, turn off all the devices, close my eyes and listen to the quiet. By internalizing that opportunity to participate in stillness, I am better equipped to dive back into life without as much overwhelm. It offers a quick reset for you to get in touch with your soul!

  • 067: Launch It, Then Build It
    This short ep gives a quick peek back at when I launched my “Yes, And” coaching program for 1:1 clients a few years ago. I had doubts that anyone would even want to work with me, so I made the decision to give myself the permission to TRY. To announce that I was doing coaching BEFORE I finished creating the entire program. And you know what? I’m so glad I did. The product I built along the way was more tailored to what my clients actually needed.

Our stories are such an important part of our journey and can be a powerful tool for connecting us to others personally and professionally. So let’s make our messaging count! As always, I find a lot of inspiration and helpful tips for myself as a speaker when I tap into my experience with improv.

  • 065: Manifesting & Manning Up
    In this episode I recount a discouraging incident where I was reminded about the work we have yet to do in this world to change the way we use words as we encourage and rear our children. And, the lessons I’ve learned about being way too vague in how I visualize my wildest dreams and how I plan to take this awareness and step up my manifestation game.

  • 064: Mental Health - Healing and Helping others with Connection and Comedy

    MENTAL HEALTH. It's a big scary topic for many, yet it affects SO. MANY. Let's lighten it up. Let's make it more approachable, shall we? 

    My guest for this episode is a woman I have admired for many years. Emily Richman is a licensed mental health counselor, actor, director, and stand up comic.  In addition to her therapy work with adolescents and adults she regularly directs and performs in theatre productions in Eastern Washington and performs standup wherever they will pay her. She was a speaker for the 2019 TedX in Richland. 

    She is a pure joy to talk to and a great example of someone who knows how to put in the work towards healing from personal traumas while helping others on their own journey. It's a rare treat to have such a comfortable conversation around a topic that we really all need to be more comfortable with - Mental Health.

  • 062: LGBTQ+ Adoption

    Mark and Jeff are adoptive dad's who joined me to share their journey to adoption. They have a wonderful story of their own path to parenthood and embrace the role they serve in the world to educate and inspire others in the LGBTQ+ community to "just go for it" if building a family through adoption is on their hearts. Their story is one of inclusivity, overcoming past barriers in their belief of what was possible for their own family, and enthusiasm for the future of adoption as a perfectly viable option to create the new "normal" in family dynamics everywhere.

    We were also joined by Stephanie Pearl, Executive Director for A New Beginning Adoption Agency, who has been a trailblazer in creating families based on LOVE, not on societal, cultural, or religious expectations.

    There is grief and loss on all sides of the adoption triad. Working through this process in an open, healthy, productive way can bring so much peace, closure, joy, and hope to those involved.

  • 060: Foster Adoption
    At any given time there are well over 400,000 kids in the US Foster System, and these young humans have ended up in this system at no fault of their own. There is often a history of trauma from abuse, neglect, and the inability of their caregivers to provide food, shelter, and safe place to grow physically and emotionally. When a kids' basic needs are not met, they are being set up for failure and a higher risk to become a statistic in the most undesirable ways. We need more families who have a passion for kids and are willing and desirous of creating a safe place to land for these youngsters. It's a challenging road and a lot of training and prep is needed for prospective adoptive families to understand how to navigate trauma and give their newest family member a true sense of stability.
    About the guest: Amber Kidd, BSW is the Foster- Adopt program coordinator at A New Beginning Adoption Agency. She has almost of decade of experience working in adoption. Her primary roll now is to help prepare families for permanent placement of their child. In addition, she is the key social worker in advocating on behalf of A New Beginning foster-adopt program families to nearly 4000 child caseworkers across the United States. Amber has been essential in building such a successful program, creating and facilitation post placement services, family support and education that increases child placement permanency (fewer disruptions). If she isn’t working directly with families, she working directly with a child’s caseworker advocating for placement with the right family.
