"We are taking down empirical Christianity." Prominent speaker at a recent Conference by the CAC—the Center for Action and Contemplation

I disagree!

"We are not taking down empirical Christianity; instead, we are offering an alternative for those who have ears to hear. We are offering the Story of Love." cbh

Offering Not Oppositions But Alternatives

I don't see my religious role as one of opposition.

I am not a warrior. I am healer. I am a theoretical individual. God has given me a different kind of theology than the one I lived for nearly four decades. I am also not a conversionist. I have no desire to convert nor to oppose.

I live for hope and love and the well-being of individuals hungry for meaning and some kind of destiny. I have a destiny in service of love, along with a desire to offer alternatives of hope and love.

My guest today, Gina Economopoulos, currently serves as an End-of-Life doula. Gina's life path has not been straight line—that why she's on the show, haha. A recovered alcoholic who has served 12 years as a nun in a Franciscan convent, Gina offers words of hope and resilience.

Gina's very presence is a testament to the power of the human spirit to persevere. Her story reminds us that hope can be discovered even in our darkest moments and will leave you inspired.

With that let's get Gina on the show!

I am so interested in having a conversation today with my very special guest Monica Ocejo. The remainder of this introduction comes from a piece Monica wrote about herself… she has a way with words! She writes…

Monica is a Mexican-born fashion designer, entrepreneur, and accidental philosopher who believes in the healing power of laughter, lipstick, and lime.

After launching a successful fashion line and participating in Miami Fashion Week, Monica discovered her true runway was life itself. She's a breast cancer survivor, devoted mom of three, and a margarita enthusiast who isn't afraid to pair stilettos with tortillas. Monica splits her time between running a highly successful business, the Tortilla House, as wells as designing, cooking, and dodging life's unexpected salsas with grace and humor.

Between Threads and Tortillas is her debut memoir and love letter to resilience, heritage, and messy, but beautiful reinvention.

With that let's get Monica on the show!

Please check out Monica's fun and beautiful new book Between Threads and Tortillas at Amazon after October 19, 2025. The Kindle version is available HERE.

Her own story of overcoming adversity serves as a powerful reminder that anyone can transform their life and achieve success.

Show Notes

I am recording this "solosode" on my 76th birthday, today Sept 16th.

As I have thought about this milestone birthday, it occurs to me that a handful of principles have guided me into a life worth living. I love being old and getting older. I think that has much to do with driving toward some kind of intentionality.

So, I want to talk today about 5 principles that continue to mark my life.

Let me know if you are inspired.
