  • How to Change the World with Conversational Activism - Jonathan Rivera!

    OK, this is a MUST listen! Jonathan is changing the world, one conversation at a time! The only way to fight division (which Jonathan correctly identifies as the other pandemic) is to sit down with people who have differing opinions and have a conversation with them. Not a debate or an argument but active listening. And in doing so, he finds the commonality between himself (and all of humanity) and the people he interviews. I'm completely blown away with his philosophy and huge heart and I know you will be too.

     

    Here is a blog post/transcription of this podcast.

     

    Here is where you can find Jonathan Rivera.

  • Short Byte: KA's Pivot

    KA talks about her pivot, which stems from a recent incident that was the impetus for an epiphany, and who doesn't love an epiphany? Turns out she doesn't have to do "all the things" that people say successful people have to do. KA gives herself permission to take a step back in order to achieve a life balance because "one size does NOT fit all".

    KA's top 5 #1's are writing, reading, exercising, eating well and travel.

    What are YOURS?

  • Minimalism, the Philosophy and Practice with Diana Olynick!

    I was blown away, once again, this time by Diana Olynick who is a minimalist, and so much more! She talks about the minimalist philosophy, which is beautiful and quite an important reminder for all of us. If she can be a minimalist while raising two young children, we have no excuses. Diana also touches on labels and how they limit us. She rewards us with her delightful sense of humor and huge heart. I can't wait for you to meet her! And as always, I am learning more from the people I interview than I ever thought possible!

     

    Cheri Huber - the author that Diana talks about:

  • Circus Fitness - You're Never Too Old to Fly! - KA Solocast

    I talk about my personal journey of working out as a non-professional circus aerialist, handstander and contortionist. I can't "truly" be called any of those labels as I'm a complete novice but I have been doing circus consistently for 11 years and have learned more about myself and my body than ever before. Plus, I'm fitter, in my 50's than I've ever been in my life. And I feel GREAT (except when I do dumb things to injure myself LOL). Welcome to my passion and another dream, achieved!

    Jenny Ambrose had a dream that defied convention. It doesn't fit into a nice little box of understanding. But it does fill a niche that was previously unfilled!
