Show Notes

A special episode where I discuss my reaction to the Holidays this year, my search for self-care and Season 2 of Taking the Leap!

I'm also excited to announce a sneak peak at the new podcast that I just launched with Jasmin Cheng called Here Be Dragons. We explore navigating life in the new economy without a 9 to 5 job.

You can learn more at: www.herebedragons.fm or on itunes.

Wishing you all the best in 2016!

Show Notes:

Ramey Barnett is one of the smartest, funniest and most fiery people I know. But I was still floored when she and her wife quit their jobs and took a year to find themselves. The year is up and they are not going back. We talk about courage, their journey and how they took control of their lives.

Language advisory: There is some swearing in the music in today's show.

Show Notes:

Terry was one of the people who inspired me to become a writer. He walked away from NASA at 50 and turned to writing an epic science fiction series that is now generating enough revenue that Terry is considering becoming a full-time writer. We talk about fearing rejection, finding your audience and the myth of "overnight success."

Show Notes

This week I am speaking with Charlotte Eriksson, otherwise known as The Glass Child. She is a poet, writer, storyteller, musician and artist. We are speaking about her first book, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles. This book starts with her leaving home at 18 and choosing to live on the streets of London in order to follow her purpose. I love her story. 

I adored Charlotte's epic and heart-tugging story in her lovely book, Empty Roads & Broken Bottles: In Search for the Great Perhaps.
