Sarah Kostin, transformational coach and author, joins Wyn & Kate for a chat about creating a book from the space before thought…the space under the noise of our personal thinking.  They explore how creativity shows up and sometimes we let it flow and sometimes we block that flow with our thought and yet it’s always available.  Sarah also shares openly about times when her dark thoughts looked very real, her willingness to put those moments into the book and how she had to surrender her ego.

In response to a listener’s question, Kate & Wyn chat about other people’s expectations of us and how it is different than our own…or is it??

How much freer would we feel if we saw all expectation for what it is…just noise.

Joining Wyn & Kate for this episode is Eirik Olsen, co-founder of One Solution Global.  Eirik shares the reason behind wanting to start the non-profit and how they came up with the name.  He goes on to discuss the desire to combine the truth of how we function as human beings with working to find practical solutions for today’s problems. 

Eirik talks about how creating something new is the natural side effect when we get under the noise of our own minds, and how much he enjoys seeing the young people of One Solution create from that space. 

He also shares when he’s bumped up against his own beliefs and how solid they looked at times.  And how his life has become so expansive when he began to see those thoughts for what they are.

Eirik’s Bio

Eirik Olsen became fascinated by the relationship between the mind and human capability after his experience in the military and deployment in the Middle East. He spent the next decade working with individuals, groups, organizations, executives, youth, health clinics, and programs for families and communities. After running a successful consultancy and training institute around the mind and resilience, he co-founded the One Solution Foundation to try to tackle the biggest challenges we face as humanity: conflict, war, climate change, poverty, etc by elevating the conversation around the mind as the missing key to sustainable change. He considers himself a student of humans, creativity, and the mysteries of life and loves the dance between a macro-level vision and on-the-ground grassroots work.

Melissa Palazzo-Hart joins Wyn & Kate for a beautiful chat about how different life can be when we see how life truly works.  Melissa shares how she used force and adrenaline to create an incredibly successful career while simultaneously suffering from depression and illness.  And then she found another way of being in the world that included more peace and flow than ever before…a life where she doesn’t have to follow every negative thought down the rabbit hole.  She found that she could let go and trust.

Melissa’s Bio:

Melissa is a creative, high-energy, entrepreneurial Business and Marketing professional with over 20 years’ experience in leading marketing, strategy, operations, and talent for some of the most prestigious agencies and brands. Throughout her tenure, she has created campaigns for some of the biggest names in entertainment and media which have been awarded Emmy Awards, Cannes Lion Awards, Effies, Telly Awards, Game Marketing Awards, Broadcast Design Association Gold Awards, and Clio Awards. Melissa serves on the Executive Board of a Place Called Home, a community-based organization which focuses on creating positive opportunities for children and teens in South Central Los Angeles. She is an Executive Member of Women in Film and YPO Hollywood.

She believed that she had to work “hard” and experience extreme stress to be successful. This led to A LOT of success and a robust bank account but also sickness, exhaustion and not much joy as she checked “accomplishments” off her list without pausing to enjoy them. She has found another way of doing business and life thanks to an understanding of the role thought plays in all her experiences. She now lives a life of reduced stress, better health, authentic connections, and higher performance.

Melissa is a mom first, and female leader second, who is part of the 1% of women that have ever managed to smash through the C-Suite glass ceiling of Corporate America. As a pioneer of women in the boardroom and the dining room, she’s taken the arrows so that her peers and the next generation don’t have to.

Melissa has lived both the nightmare – and the dream – of being an independent woman fighting the old school system. She’s won the game and her mission is to help other women live a life of more Purpose, more Success and whole lot less Stress.
