EPISODE 258: Interview with Helena Goto Helena Goto founded Goto Solutions in 2013 and works with companies to support their people in navigating conflict in the workplace. With Master's degrees in both Business Administration and Conflict Resolution, Helena's background gives her the combined benefit of understanding how a successful business functions, as well as the human dynamics that motivate people to work well together

Recently Helena has applied her dispute resolution skillset at home as her marriage was coming to an end. As a result, throughout the process, she has been able to successfully navigate keeping her family intact. Her book, “A Modern Family. Keeping the family intact when the marriage is over” was published in early 2024, and it shares her personal journey and is essentially a workbook to support others going through the process.

Helena lives in Los Angeles with her three sons, ex-husband, and two rescue dogs.

EPISODE 257: Interview with Chris Veasey.  Chris Veasey is an adventurer, non-traditionalist, and a lifelong storyteller. His uncompromising New York core can be found beneath layers of mountain-calmed temperament and reverence for the English language. Always taught to be practical, he gave up trying to make a profession of entertainment soon after college and opted for safe desk jobs and relationships in our nation's capital. Catching a foul whiff of 30 years old, Mr. Veasey packed his bags and walked away from it all for an entirely impractical hobo epoch.

After a lifetime of normalcy, the liberation taught him that living an unorthodox life is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, this is where his newfound happiness stemmed from. Discovering that there is no direct correlation between playing it safe and contentment is what compelled Chris to write the very book you've come across.

The story he tells is one of nonconformity and trust in the universe, written as a hope that you too will be able to find your own "unstuck" self.

EPISODE 256: Interview with Ali Press. Trapped in a repeating daily nightmare of their own making, Ali quit drinking for good in April 2017.

Drinking away their needs, desires, and wants to be whatever people around them expected, had been their “go to” for far too long. Quitting meant embracing “not being like the others” and addressing a lifetime’s boundary-less people-pleasing.

7 years on, and through numerous deep dives into their core wounds, Ali has changed how they show up in the world, what they do, and how they date and relate.

Ali now supports others through therapeutic coaching to make changes for themselves, and build lives they no longer want to numb out.
