Thriving Room

Thriving Room

Our interview guests are atypical in a way, such as an activity they devote energy to, a part of their background, or an approach to life. Together we learn what shapes them and take transferable lessons from their experiences. As they express themselves, we explore with you how we articulate, harness, experiment with, embody, and nurture what makes us who we are. Perspectives on emotional, relational, and mental health and wellness inescapably surface, and we can each choose to act on the views that we find useful.
