WORLD GONE GOOD

Paige Parsons Roache and Sherri Johnson are two health-focused, powerhouse self-starters, raising their individual families plant-based, all the while maintaining their BFF status with one another. What started as two people who just happened to go to the same gym turned into two women on a mission to educate and inspire through their show Plant-Based in the Burbs. In this oh-so-good episode, Paige and Sherri share how they maintain their friendship and uplift one another, how going vegan has both empowered and educated them along with their families, and most importantly, how important laughter has been through it all. Go ahead and share this one with your own BFF. Let's celebrate friendship together, yes?

Abi Murray invites us to a cup of coffee and a nice conversation care of the Chatty Cafe Scheme. This all began on a typical wet and windy UK day when Abi's sister Alex Hoskyn was in a supermarket café with her four month old son, who wasn't great company, and she herself was feeling a bit tired and a bit fed up. Alex looked around the cafe and saw others who looked just as down as she felt herself and she started to think about the positive impact we can have on one another simply by sitting together and communicating. She knew from her own experience that when you are feeling lonely, a short conversation with another human can really brighten your day. It was in that very moment her ‘Chatter & Natter’ table idea began (in her head where all dreams do) and it soon became reality. Now in 900 cafes throughout the UK and an additional 200 in Australia, the Chatty Cafe Scheme allows anyone feeling lonely to take a seat and connect. Abi shares the journey she and Alex have been on and the importance of creating community. We also speak with volunteer John Ford about his experience with this organization and what it's meant to him to connect with others as someone who moved to the UK from another country himself. Grab a cup of coffee and join us, won't you?

Brad Singer sees himself as just another average guy (his words, not ours). Just another average guy who has climbed Mt. Everest and Mt. Kilimanjaro, hiked the Grand Canyon, rim to rim, multiple times and has swam out to Alcatraz Island and back. Did we mention he's not in his 30s? Or his 40s? Or even his 50s? Brad is a good reminder it's never too late, we are never too old, and yes, my good friends, we still have time to go on some adventures. If you've been waiting for your sign to go for it, look no further than this oh-so-good episode to inspire and uplift you.

Anita Harwood needs our help finding a man named Marty who helped her on that fateful day of September 11th, 2001. This is one woman's good journey, traveling from the UK to the United States to attend a Michael Jackson concert, only to find herself in the middle of New York City on the morning when everything changed. It's also the story of kindness, specifically the kindness of one stranger who said yes when 18 year old Anita and her best friend needed it most. We found this story on Upworthy's Instagram page and reached out to Anita to see if she might want to come on World Gone Good, tell her story, and see if you, our good audience, might be able to help out in finding the missing Marty. If 9/11 taught us anything, it is this: good or bad, we are all in this together. Give a listen to Anita to see if you might be the person who helps her locate this stranger to give him the hug and thank you she's been waiting over 24 years to give him.

Our new season begins October 8th, direct from our new studio in London. We are embracing the world in the title of our show to bring you all new guests with all new stories to uplift, inspire, and maybe even laugh a bit. Enjoy this short bonus before the new season arrives.

Izumi "Asura" Serra is a healer, a teacher, a singer, and a sound journey-ist (it's a word because I said it's a word). Through her bowls and bells, gongs and drums, and yes, even her own voice, she channels emotion, compassion, and rejuvenation. In this good episode, she shares her life from growing up in Japan to coming to the United States, becoming a teacher of young children, and how it all led her to rediscover her passion for music - and yes, sound itself. Through her company, Music of the Spheres, she provides a safe and nurturing space where one can connect with your body, mind, and spirit. Her classes and workshops empower anyone to embrace joy and take charge of creating the life they are truly meant to live. This episode also features a sound journey for you to take part in as Asura plays just for us. Who's up for a sound journey? It's gonna be a good one.

Mike Matthews had an incredibly close relationship with his Grandma Eileen. So when one of his co-workers needed some support and a sounding board, he gave them her phone number and said, 'Give my grandma a call. Trust me.' And after this co-worker did call Grandma Eileen - and had a great experience - Mike came to the realization that he needed to share her with the world. That's how - and when - Grandma Stand first started. The concept is simple: A purple stand where a Grandma waits, take a seat, ask the jumping off question and the rest just flows naturally. This is a redefining of the phrase, 'generational wealth,' where both parties who participate in these conversations experience the riches of what each other has to offer. We've been focusing on community and what Mike and Grandma Stand are doing truly nails this. Who knows - maybe you have something you'll want to ask OR maybe you'll be the grandma with all (or some) of the answers.
