Today we are talking about an issue that seems everywhere. It seems like a hassle for everyone -managing our digital footprint. We are talking about the thousands of pictures, videos we take, the forwards we receive via social media and instant messaging. So digital decluttering is not just about organizing our own digital assets but also about being responsible and environmentally conscious about our behavior. 

In this episode, we host Kiera Liu, a sentimental memory maker, professional photographer, and visual storyteller behind Frame of Life.

Plato once said: “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” To wrap up Season 3, we invited musician, teacher, entrepreneur, performer, and woman of Wayland Penny Wayne-Shapiro to our studio. In this wide-ranging conversation, we cover music education, humorous anecdotes, prejudices musicians still face, how learning music really is a preparation for life--whether you take it up as a career or not--and much more. We also discuss Penny's remarkable journey from Worthing, Southern England to Wayland, Massachusetts. Starting from her education at Royal Academy of Music in London to English National Opera Orchestra, Boston University School of Music and the founding of Wayland School of music, her journey is inspiring. There is something for everyone in this captivating conversation. Take a listen.

In this episode, we are in conversation with Leah Levine, a wife, mother, educator, and a practitioner of mindfulness. We chart her story through her upbringing in Massachusetts to her harrowing experience as a mother of a young child diagnosed with cancer. What is remarkable in her story is not just the way she handled her daughter’s sickness but also how an entire town came together to give back to her and her family for all that they had done for the community. Cancer is never easy to deal with and it can never be easy to go through a hardship that brutal as a parent. Take a listen to this story of courage, community, and triumph.

In this episode, to shed spotlight on men who are making our communities a better place, especially for women, we introduce a new category in our stories: Man of Wayland. Our first guest in this category is Malcolm Astley. In this nostalgic, stirringly painful, and inspiring conversation, Malcolm talks about his huge grief in the wake of the murder of his teenage daughter Lauren Dunne Astley and also her fond memories. In this riveting conversation, we cover Malcolm’s remarkable advocacy and action for teen violence prevention and healthy relationships. To fill the massive gulf in relationship education for youth, Lauren Dunne Astley Memorial Fund has been working with government as well as private partners to bring awareness and requisite funding to the movement and developed its own workshop called “Loved to Death”.
