In today’s episode I sit down with DJ Sworth — his positive energy and outlook gives us all permission to live in the moment, carry a vibe & dance the night away. In this conversation we start out by talking about his journey into music and the ins and outs of being a DJ.

Then we do a complete 180 and dive into a topic very close to our hearts that a lot of people have experienced but typically keep to themselves. We take turns sharing the story of losing our mothers— processing the pain and grief while reflecting on the beautiful blessings & lessons our mothers continue to teach us till this day. I hope in this moment of shared vulnerability we can help others deal with loss and see the beauty that arises from it. If you enjoy this episode, make sure to share it with a friend.

In today’s episode, I sit down with Carlos the rollerblader. They are an Emcee, community organizer and Portland’s go to person if you're needing some advice. In this conversation we discuss 'the power of choice' while we navigate a free flowing barrage of topics, concepts and scenarios. Somehow we managed to have this entire conversation without talking about rollerblades, but these are the talks I appreciate where there is no overarching goal other than to show up as ourselves.

In today's episode of Opening Presence I sit down with Julia BOND - she is a dancer and fashion designer. In this conversation we discuss the importance of aligning our heart and mind to arrive at our most authentic creative expression. As artists we naturally challenge rigid & oppressive  systems as we evolve & dive deeper into our purpose. Julia is a fearless leader and liberator of limited perspectives. She walks the walk and I’m honored to keep a steady pace as a co- creator. If you enjoy this episode, make sure to share it with a friend!
