Tanya Rogers is truly one of the coolest people I know. Hers is a story of grit and resilience. Listen in to hear about how Tanya worked to overcome a difficult childhood, dropping out of high school and college before going back to school and ultimately becoming a NASA scientist and completing a PhD. My favorite part of this episode was learning about "the Karass" that Tanya has created--a beautiful community filled with care and support. You'll be so inspired.

Also, be sure to check out Tanya's kickstarter at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/pco2/carbon-capture-paint-from-the-peoples-co2. She has invented the coolest paint, one which is beautiful AND helps clean up the earth's air at the same time. The kickstarter is live until May 20th at 6 AM MST.

You can find her company on IG @peoplesco2, or at their website: https://www.thepeoplesco2.com/

You may have heard of The Addition Principle, even if you didn't hear it by that name. It is a powerful tool for letting go of unwanted thoughts and behaviors. Learn what it is, how you might use it, and how it is helping me to move forward in some long overdue ways.

In February, 2023, a darling little 8 year old boy in my community fell off the slide at school and passed away as a result of those injuries. I wondered how I might help, and wished I had more insights on what to do. I attended Dallin's funeral and was blown away at the powerful sermon on miracles that his beloved mama, Kathryn Cunningham, shared with all those in that packed church.

I am honored to share this sacred episode with you, where we talk about grief, Dallin, community, and miracles. You'll receive insights on how to show up for people in your circle who are grieving, and be inspired to look at your own life through the lens of miracles.

Kathryn's book, Walking Through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, written about those first days after the accident, is available now for preorder. at https://amzn.to/49RjHRs.

Kathryn's book launch and celebration will be held May 17th from 7-9 PM in Stansbury Park, UT. You can Venmo Kathryn directly and pick up a book at that event.

About Kathryn:

Kathryn Cunningham was always the kid with a story to tell. As a mother, as a teacher, as a friend, she is always at her best when there’s a story involved. She has gathered her stories and honed her skills as a French major at BYU, as a proselyting missionary in Germany, as a military wife in Korea and Germany, as a member of the writing team for the refugee advocacy organization TSOS (Their Story is Our Story), and as the CEO of her growing family as they explored the world together. The list goes on! She never dreamed that one day she’d have to tell the story of how she lost her son, but she’s grateful for the experiences, the mentors, and the gospel truths that have prepared her to do it.

I recently wrote a piece called:

Sometimes I Build my Eternal Family in a Bar: How Parenting Through a Lens of Faith Over Fear Builds Family Relationships

It was written straight from my heart and it got a fair amount of traction on FB. In this minisode, you'll get to hear me read the piece, learn what I wrote it for, and get some extra info on The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints for context.

This episode will give you hope that it is possible to live and love your faith AND stay close to your children, even if they choose to leave the faith you raised them in.

This episode is pure gold! What happens when you get an orthodox Jew and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints together? It felt like magic to me.

I listened to less books this week than any week over the last 18 months. Crazy!

One of those three, Community by Peter Block, was absolutely amazing. Listen to my review on that one and also find out what else I've been up to. It's been a big week for me!

I recorded the longest interview to date this week because the conversation was so good we struggled to end it. Barbara Heller is a teacher, songwriter, singer, actress, writer, podcaster, screenwriter, comic--a woman of many talents. But my favorite thing about Barbara is the way she inspires those around her with confidence to use their unique gifts for good. This little snippet will give you a taste of the goodness to come on April 17th when that episode drops.

I had so much fun in this episode, talking about Taylor's super cute car and my dream of being an old lady on a pink Vespa. I was also reminded of the power of community to heal our hearts after deep betrayal. I love Taylor's dedication to community over competition and I'm excited for you to get to connect to Taylor's energy, enthusiasm, and infectious laugh.
