Little Gifts

It’s summer out and we’re making the most of it!! Meaning we were a little too busy to find time to record a new episode this week so we’re re-releasing one of our personal favorites. There are big shifts happening right now and we want to encourage all who listen to lean in to the turns ;) 

In this episode Sue Ellen poses the question, can we reframe the perspective of our life story by marking important turning points? Join Sue Ellen and Savanna as they reflect back on moments in their lives that felt like meaningful turning points that shifted changed them for the better and shifted their perspective going forward. We truly believe that to hear others stories helps us reframe our own, we’d like to invite you to share any turning points from your life!

Rolands back! We’re sharing another conversation between Sue Ellen and her beloved friend Roland. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again! We have so much to be learned when we slow down and take the time to really hold space and listen to each other. We hope this episode inspires you to call an old friend yourself. The audio is a little warbly but it’s worth the listen!

The poem Savanna shared is “Integration” by La Espiritista

In this episode we talk with our most favorite guest Mira Wonderwheel (Savanna’s mom and Sue Ellens daughter) all about her recent experience of donating a kidney to her brother. If you’ve ever been curious about the process or if you’ve never been curious about the process this episode is for you! Mira first got inspired to donate a kidney listening to a podcast, maybe this one can do the same for someone else!
