What kinds of things does your feeble human brain invent when you're near deep water? Laura recounts her first trip to the MDSA beach at Lake Minnewaska, bringing all kinds of great metaphors about fear, excitement and the like. Do you have flippers? Do they have a weird name? Any idea what Bay was going to say at the end of the episode?

A year after Laura's "Theme Park Map For Your Busienss" idea spawned tons of possibility and the most epic workshop ever, Laura and Bay revisit the concept. What's evolved? What are they seeing differently? How is this concept helping them adapt to the ever-changing industry of coaching?

Not feeling excited about the new Snow White movie? Don't worry, Bay's got you covered. 

How do you pack for time away - like a normal person, or as if you are a Boston terrier? Laura and Bay discuss tales of adventures through the ages, jet lag, and being sick on the road. Oh, and what terrible movies have you seen recently?  PS. Sustain-Ability workshop happening next Tuesday, June 24! https://wonderlandandcompany.com/sustainability/

Come on, who hasn't bought a mini version instead of a full size version of something and then regretted it? Welcome to this week's episode of West of Wonderland - join Bay and Laura as they debrief Sustain-Ability, discuss the need for help to create the perfect meet-cutes for their upcoming Wayfinders Leadership Circle! Why is it so weird to ask for the kind of help you actually need, instead of the help that seems palatable? Next free Sustain-Ability event on June 24: https://wonderlandandcompany.com/sustainability

Is there anything more triggering than a birthday - yours OR someone else's?! Welcome to the new era of West of Wonderland, which is basically the same as the old one, except maybe a little bit more polished (...maybe). How are boundaries and desires related? What's your favorite analogy about empowered boundaries? Do you also need help and reminders about not overriding your own boundaries? Are you tired of Laura and Bay harping on boundaries?!

What exactly is the Canada of the United States? Oops, we mean, welcome to the 200th episode of West of Wonderland! Laura and Bay are joined by two of West of Wonderland's best friends, Emily and Meaghan, to traverse everyone's favorite terrain: un-coze-ing yourself, secrets, reflections, and simple questions like "What is 99.8% of YOUR purpose in life?" Join this magical, heartfelt celebration of 200 episodes - almost four years - of West of Wonderland shenanigans! PS. Catch a bubble!

West of Wonderland have been working soooo hard lately, so they're going to take this week's episode to be ridiculous. Friend-of-the-podcast Jason Frazell has supplied Laura with a ChatGPT that has mansplained Disney Adults to her. Bay and Laura discuss and reenroll themselves in why they love what they love (hint: it's VelociCoaster and Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure ™). How long can YOU talk about your favorite ride?

How do we "be with" opening up to large swaths of the unknown? What's the day to day life for you when you're building something new and waiting for it to pan out?  What do you like to fill your favorite pans with? Do you call them Rice Krispie Treats or Squares, and what's your favorite way to make them?

How much do you know about Candian elections and government? Laura interrogates Bay about the Canadian electoral system, as Canada is in the midst of an election. What info is new to you around Canada, does anything surprise you the way it surprised Laura?! (P.S. Join us for our live recording of episode 200! https://www.laurawestman.com/wow-live )
