I've been going to The Cleveland Flea for a few years now so I was so thrilled when I finally got a chance to sit down and chat with Stephanie. We met up at one of my favorite Cleveland coffee shops called Rising Star and sat outside on a picnic bench. I left the recording unedited so you may hear a dog bark, a new voice chime in or the buzz of a coffee grinder. I think all of these extra sounds will make you feel like you're sitting right there with us at that picnic bench.

Stephanie was a great podcast guest. She filled me in on what her childhood was like, what pushed her into starting her own business, fear and how The Cleveland Flea got started. She shares a ton of knowledge so if you're not driving make sure you take notes!

As soon as I met Katie I felt like I was in good hands. She often refers to herself as a connector and honestly, that is spot on. Katie Kurtz finished up grad school and launched herself into a career of social work. Soon after, she began to feel an unsettledness. She then found yoga and her passion for connection and service through life coaching and her business (but really it's a movement), Soul Connect Movement. We talk about how she found Soul Connect, female friendship and connection, fear and more. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

I started listening to Katie Dalebout's podcast about a year ago and was immediately hooked. I started digging through the archives of her podcast right away, followed her on Instagram, got her book and soon enough she began to feel like a friend, even though I had never met her. I decided to just send her an e-mail to see if she wanted to be on my podcast and she graciously accepted. I really loved this conversation and am so grateful that Katie joined me on the podcast. The entire time it felt like I was just talking to a friend and those are my favorite interviews. We talk about what is inspiring her, podcasting, her relationship with money, navigating her twenties, female friendship and body image. I hope you enjoy this conversation just as much as I did.

I attended my first Local Girl Gang event this past Thursday downtown at Harness Cycle. It was a delight. As always my nervous, introverted self was reluctant to go but once I was there I had no regrets. I was able to connect with a bunch of Cleveland small business owners. Then just two days later I had the pleasure of interviewing Maria, the founder of Your Local Girl Gang Cleveland. She tells us all about how she got the idea to start the Girl Gang. Some of the other things we talk about include fear, the importance of women supporting women and balancing a full time job while trying to launch a business. If you like this conversation please go ahead and leave a review or share with a friend.

This week on Muse Room Podcast I've decided to share a conversation that I had on the other podcast I host (Neos Dance Theatre Podcast). Neos Dance Theatre is the professional dance company that I dance with. It's a contemporary ballet company founded by Bobby and Brooke Wesner in Oberlin and Akron, Ohio. I started to create a podcast for Neos a few months ago and had a conversation with DeMarcus Akeem Suggs who is the Director of Education and Outreach for Neos. He moved to Cleveland in August to open a pre-professional dance school for the company. Normally I won't crossover between podcasts but I just thought that Muse Room listeners would enjoy this conversation as well. We chat about how he found dance, what his professional career was like, what it took to get a dance school up and running, how he hopes to impact the dance community and so much more.

Notes from the show:

-I ask him how him and Bobby met, which if you aren't familiar with Neos, you may not know who that is. He is the Artistic Director and Co-founder of Neos Dance Theatre.

-Favorite book right now is a book of poetry called, "Approaching the Fields" by Chanda Feldman

-Favorite song right now is "Brooklyn in the Summer" by Aloe Blacc

-Some other musicians that he is really into are:

-Lianne La Havas

-Gregory Porter

-Ben L'oncle Soul

-Samm Henshaw
