Welcome to This Extra Ordinary Life, with your host Heather Offermann (hi, that's me!). In this debut episode I introduce myself by talking about my journey as I weave together my creative/eclectic heart with my knowledge-seeking/deep thinking mind. I crave below-the-surface conversations that inspire me to keep thinking about myself and humanity as a whole in new ways. 

This podcast will dive into topics of both the “ordinary” and the out-of-this-world, nothing really in between. I think as humans we spend so much time in the middle-level areas of thought (work, finances, drama, politics, etc.) and not enough time appreciating the little things, or pondering the bigger questions in life. 

This Extra Ordinary Life was created to help you expand your mind by zooming way in to the most mundane things in life (thinking about these things keeps you in the present moment, a key to creating happiness), and zooming way out to the larger philosophical questions of the universe (thinking about these things gives you a sense of purpose, belonging, and oneness with the world). I'm going to challenge you to think in new ways, without pushing any of my own beliefs onto you. 

I want to plant new thinking seeds in your brains, but I also want you to be able to live your day and reflect on what I’ve said so you can form your own unique perspectives.

Sound good? I'll be releasing new episodes every Monday so you have some food for thought as you go through your weekly grind. 

Stay curious, stay inspired, and see the beauty in all things, big and small — because this life is anything but ordinary.
