My mentor, teacher, and friend Susanne Conrad and I have a conversation about the good, great, hard, and uncomfortable path to accessing more personal freedom and compassion in your life.  

We also discuss: 

  • How to love yourself and also love those who've hurt you, and remain hopeful they can change
  • How to envision a future for yourself when you feel hopeless
  • Why vision work is life changing and how we're making it more accessible to all, especially our youth 

I share some of the earlier steps in my understanding of what was authentic about me and my process to accepting these parts of myself. There was lots of testing and trying, patience, and curiosity. I also talk about the very first time I kissed a boy.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
