How do you react when the world serves you a double-scoop of bad luck and unexpected loss? What do you do when things fall apart?

When ANYTHING is possible – what an opportunity to learn!

Andrya Bailey and I lined up the call and both signed on. "Hello," said I, "nice to meet you. Now who are you?" And then the magic started!  

Now I grew up on Elias Cannetti, Mikhail Bulgakov, Franz Kafka, bp Nichol... You know, the literature dudes. And women, for sure, but for now the point is that if and when it came to romance novels... Well, have I even read one? I'm not really sure. But here I was, talking shop with a creative spirit who is as much a woman of letters as I am – pun intended, naturally. 

And here's the greatest thing about the podcast format! Because I know nothing about my guest and her work, I know it in my bones that the best way forward is to be open, listening, learning. TAKE ME TO SCHOOL, ANDRYA!

In seeking guests for the podcast, I sometimes go to Amazon books for areas I'm curious about. In episode 109 with Karina Calver, it so happens that she lives in Hong Kong and is a professional counselor.   

Or, in episode 84 with Monica Borschel, I had missed recording with her in Hong Kong as she had moved herself and her practice to California. So mental health is a big area of interest. When we spoke, Monica mentioned EMDR therapy.   

Or, how when I met Kristin Zeising in episode 61 and we discussed her Hong Kong practice and how she's helping people improve their sexual health. As it happens, Kristin was also part of the Great Drain that's seeing Hong Kong professionals depart. Right. Enter Stephanie Baird.  

I  reached out because I saw her book, EMDR Therapy and Sexual Health - A Clinician's Guide. YES! EMDR and sexual health. Perfect. 

Also based in the USA (but with no history linking to Hong Kong), we lined up our schedules and met for a call.  Stephanie is just RADIANT with goodness! She has an infectious joy and the kind of spirit who obviously deeply cares about others. This emerged from her personal experience throughout her life and as a parent, training, author of a clinician's guidebook – literally a manual for supporting other kind professionals – and even how she's supported her companion animals at home. Not only that, but she's more fun than a bucket of vibrators!  

Join us. Learn. Laugh.

The world is always changing. Life is change. Entropy is forever increasing – ish.   

In order to help increase the momentum against the war that Putin-de-merde has visited on Ukraine, I sent out a call and reached out to various people who may be connected to Ukraine and the war. Enter Ostap Kostiukevitch.  

Happy to share, he sent over the address of where we could record and I happily buzzed over. Up on high in an industrial part of Kowloon, a company makes costumes for stage and screen. Greeting me outside the elevator, a tall, bright, clear-eyed guy walks me into his workplace.   

The odor of glue, solvents and new fabric hits me, with colors jumping off the walls and sweet colleagues greeting me. We sit in a room packed with how-to-train-your-dragon costumes and sit for a chat.   

What an inspiration.

When the pandemic is behind us, we will look back at this time, and – well, we will all interpret it from our experience. In my case, although Karina Calver and I live in the same city, having to record the episodes online instead of sitting face to face. This makes things... Different? Strange? Yet as many who work in the realm of mental health and coaching have found, there are benefits to talking with another person from our respective homes. Our dens of comfort.

Life is a gift. The brutality and horror of the current war in Ukraine are creating both the violence of conflict but also the shattered lives of families across the whole of Ukraine and other European nations.  

Not able to sit back and do nothing, Andy Eakins had a visceral reaction to what was happening on the ground and decided to take action.   

Please listen to this generous man's attempt to bring crucial necessities to those in and outside of Ukraine's borders. If you have the means, please be compelled to act. 

The most pressing needs are:  

- Medical field tourniquet straps to stop bleeding after a gunshot or wound

- Your old second-hand, discarded mobile phones (factory reset!) 

- Collapsable luggage carriers so refugees can carry belongings

In episode 41 with Ying Ying Liu, she shared the power of connecting music with animal conservation. As the head of LumiVoce, Ying Ying's energy and passion guide the team and attract renowned musicians and performers from around the world.   

LumiVoce means illuminating with sound and its mission is to inspire and educate the young to fall in love and protect wildlife and biodiversity through the power of music, arts, and education.  

In connection with the 2022 Voices for the Planet campaigns, I set up a call with Chloe Poon, LumiVoce's Operations Manager. Now based in Cornwall, in the UK, Chloe used our moment together to share her connection and passion for the arts, the natural world, and how to find one's true place in our wonderful world.  

So profound. So moving. And so fun!

How many people have felt the rush of sitting on top of a machine, going more than 1000km/hr into the sky above and among the clouds? Even more amazing still, how many have broken away from our atmosphere to break into the zero gravity of space?  

As a child, Pat Daily decided he wanted to become an astronaut. Working backward from that goal, he figured out what he had to do and then put that plan into action. Did he reach all his goals? Who can say? Has he lived an amazing life – I'd definitely say so.   

Join us as Pat takes us on an amazing journey. We will visit Ireland, Houston, Washington state, and stretch out to Mars and beyond.   

And don't forget to pick up his book – SPARK!
