Over the years, I've taken myself on many-a-writing retreat and each of them has been magical in its own way. On my latest retreat, however, one of my circle-sisters wrote a short story to share her experience and it was so fun, I knew I had to share it in a bonus summer episode!
It was suc...
On today’s episode, I’ll fill you in on where I’m at and what my plans are for summer and for this podcast.
For now, I’m on hiatus.
I realized that I’ve been podcasting for the last 4 years - and specifically these last two years on my own - with nary a week off!
One o...
I wasn’t actually planning on this episode, I had intended to end the season today, but it dawned on me that it has been exactly one year since I gave up social media, and I thought that deserved an episode.
(Social media = Facebook and Instagram for me)
Not because I want the kudos or...
In an effort to continue sharing ways to gather, connect and create, I wanted to talk with Parisa Shirazi Chavoya, owner and Founder of Parisa Yoga Shala about this sacred experience of sound, where the instruction is simply to show up, put your phone down, lie on the floor, feel the vibrations ...
Before the checklists fill up and the calendar gets away from you, there's one question worth sitting with first: How do I actually want to move through this summer? Not just what you'll do, but how you'll show up, especially when it comes to your screens and devices.
Today's episode with Dr. The...
In this episode I sit down with my friend and certified Forest Therapy Guide Megan Bollen to talk about forest bathing — what it actually is (hint: it's not a hike), and what happens when people finally slow down long enough to let nature do its thing.
We also talk about Megan's own path to...
Front porch or back porch? It sounds like a trivial choice. But as Dr. Jane R. Shore unpacks this question in a recent Substack essay, that decision carries real weight, shaping who we encounter and how connected we might become in our own neighborhoods. And indeed, in our own lives!
What does it really mean to learn with people, not just from them? In this episode, I talk with Dr. Jane R. Shore, learning scientist, researcher, visual storyteller, and founder of a beautifully illustrated Substack, School of Thought, to explore her framework for People-Based Learning and why ...
As kids we didn't need a reason to start a club. A treehouse, a secret handshake, a made-up name (as in my case, The Silver Binder Club) ... and that was enough.
But somewhere along the way we convinced ourselves that clubs needed a purpose, a committee, and very likely, an exorbitant membe...
This week another short and sweet story about what it means to be a good neighbor.
A full-circle story of gratitude, connection, and what happens when we share of ourselves with abundance.
If you need a pick-me-up this week, give this episode a listen and be inspired by the good deeds ...
If showing up to a room full of complete strangers, or to a networking event, or to any situation where you must interact with people you've barely met gives you even the slightest amount of anxiety ... today's episode is for you.
Today I talk with Nydia Maurás-Jones, cofounder of Banter De...
Now there's a podcast title that will gain NO SEO traction whatsoever.
But it's worth it.
It's a name my mother invented for my daughter, and you'll hear all about how it's run, how it got that title, and why I wanted to share it with you.
Short and sweet this week. If you want a ...
Today on the podcast, I’m excited to introduce you to a small (but mighty) practice that has changed my life, and the woman who created it. Laurie Wagner is a writer, teacher, retreat leader, traveler, published author, and the founder and guiding force behind Wild Writing, a practice she ...
Garrett wears so many hats that we could have gone in so many different directions with this conversation, but in today’s episode, we talk about his latest undertaking: The Declaration of Interdependence Relay. (Or just The Relay, for short).
50 gatherings in 50 states in one year.
You...
In today's episode, my friend and neighbor Maura Flaherty, shares the secrets of her longstanding Cookbook Club. For the last 4-5 years, she and 6 other women have been meeting and sharing recipes from a rotating cast of cookbooks and (sometimes) celebrity chefs.
And while the recipes have ...
Today on the podcast, I'm reflecting on the last four episodes of the podcast, where I've talked at great length about screens. It's a conversation that isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so it's important that we keep talking about it. But if this conversation about screen time brings up feelin...
Today on the podcast, I'm excited to introduce you to my niece, Sophia and my sister, Molly.
In less than a week, Sophia will turn 13 and I wanted to bring her on the podcast so that - for this last episode of the February series on screens - I could stop talking about teenagers in the hypo...
A few weeks ago, Thekla Brumder Ross and I hosted a live panel with last week's guest, Kat Zilka, Founder and Executive Director of Dis/Connect, and two of the high schoolers who are a part of the Dis/Connect movement.
It was eye-opening, to say the very least!
Today on the podcast, Th...
Today's guest is the founder and Executive Director of Dis/Connect, a local non-profit attempting to create screen-free spaces for teens and young adults in our community. But let this conversation inspire you, wherever you live, to look for those spaces in your neighborhood.
If you’re in t...
In today's episode, Christina Dinur and Amanda Metropolus from RECONNECT MILWAUKEE talk about how and why they founded this group and what they hope to offer kids instead of endless (and mindless) screen time.
A screen free childhood movement is growing (see links below) and it's powered by...
