The Power of Bibliotherapy to Change Your Life with Author, Book Lover, and Mom Melissa Hart EP: 21

Like Laura, Melissa Hart found refuge, safety, and a sense of freedom in books that was missing in her childhood. She and Laura connected because of a shared love of books and the idea that “books make me feel rich.”   Laura reached out to Melissa after reading an essay Melissa submitted to Real Simple magazine about building a Little Free Library in her yard in Oregon. Laura has always loved seeing them, and sometimes longs for one of her own, so when she saw an opportunity to connect with someone who had built one, a great conversation was soon in the works! As the conversation flows, Melissa introduces the idea of Bibliotherapy – using books in an intentional way for connection, recognition, healing, and understanding. She first learned of

Take off Your Mask and Live Your Legacy Forward with Jeff Saperstein

Legacy isn’t necessarily in the past. If we could reverse-engineer our lives with a focus on how we want to show up, and how others experience us, we could create our legacy on purpose, explains business consultant and career coach, Jeff Saperstein. In this paradigm we are living into our lives with the end in mind: How do you want to be remembered? What do you want to be remembered for? Because the truth is you get to choose, and you are creating your legacy every day in what you say and do and how you say and do it. Jeff goes on to highlight the extreme toll we pay when we compartmentalize our lives and believe we can show up in various roles differently. For example, if we create

Jordan Gerding, Talks About The Bravery Required To Be An Entrepreneur & Leaving The Safe Job Behind

How many of us would have the courage to turn our backs on what was soundly forecast as a future payout of several million dollars in retirement and stock options to follow what our spirit was calling out to do? The answer to that question is quite clear – just look around at the people you know, see, and read about. Not many. But that doesn’t apply to Jordan Gerding. And his story is even more remarkable considering his is not even 30, yet. He just recently left his job in the family construction business his grandfather and father have been building for decades, to venture into the unknown and uncertain world of entrepreneurship. It might sound scary – and maybe even unwise – to those who need the certainty

What’s Really Revealed About Your Feelings, Personality & Health In The Words You Use. Insights From Sharry Edwards

When you discover who she is and what she does, having a conversation with Sharry might be a little unsettling… it might leave you feeling a little exposed and vulnerable. You see, Sharry hears frequencies most of us don’t, at least not without the help of sensitive sound measuring devices or equipment. Which means she’ll recognize things about you that you may not even be aware of, or might hope no one will notice! “I grew up in Appalachia in a place with no electronic or manufactured sound,” she explains. “So, I was immersed in all the sounds of nature and I grew up really hearing trees and animals… all living things vibrate.” And anything that vibrates emits vibrational frequencies, which translate to sound, and that means it can be

Refusing to Live in Someone Else’s Box — with Christian Del Rosario, Photographer Extraordinaire EP:17

“You can’t do that.” “You have to do it this way!” “You can’t be good at all of that, you have to choose just one…” While he doesn’t come out and say it that explicitly, these are all messages Christian Del Rosario likely heard – and, thankfully, ignored – on the way to developing the artistry he creates with his cameras. You see, Christian is one of those rare photographers who is able to apply his unique vision and ability to capture the true essence of his subject – be that a person, animal, object, landscape, or structure – and share it with others in the resultant photo. Truly, he is an artist. And his joy and gratitude for being able to combine his three major passions into his life’s

Thriving through Adversity when Alzheimer’s Invades your Life with Patti Hanrath, Founder of Kinergy Leadership EP:16

Imagine having Alzheimer’s take over your closest loved one and framing it as “The Incredible Journey”! That’s been Patti Hanrath’s response over the past four years as her husband, Joe, has fairly rapidly ‘disappeared’ due to early onset of this disease.   The first red flag that something was wrong was easily chalked up to stress and perhaps fatigue; but the second clear sign came only a couple of weeks later as Patti and Joe were playing a card game with friends. It took the medical community nearly a year to accurately diagnose what Joe was experiencing, and while it was devastating, it was also a relief. Patti says, “It was a relief to know what we were actually dealing with… it was finally concrete.” And the knowing allowed them
