Jazmin is a force of love & cultural change whose spiritual values are lived, not just spoken. From her home in San Diego, she works with women through storytelling, trainings, and integrative wellness coaching. Her willingness to share from her soul is what drew me to her when we met in 2022. Jazmin’s understanding of her own healing process has informed her 11 year entrepreneurial journey, her process as a writer, and the events she offers, like this year’s Power of the Pause. Jazmin’s

“Once I get out of the water, for me the race is over.” Michael Weintraub experienced years of panic attacks when he swam in triathlons, but the people he met in the community kept him coming back. Today we talk about breath, the ways the Universe keeps us learning, and Mike’s business as a certified chi run/walk instructor. The trait of persistence or “stick-to-itiveness” is something that fascinates me; Michael is a great case study. He says he wasn’t particularly well-behaved as a child, but he

Few humans bring me to my ground of being the way Linda does. Her work as herbalist, aromatherapist, and community organizer are rooted in the soil of Haverhill, Massachusetts, where her business Wildflower Haven Apothecary flourishes from her garden.Linda’s embodied wisdom is equalled only by her humor, so we laugh often as we talk plant medicine, the importance of friends who challenge us, and divine femininity.

Maria Montessori was born August 31, 1870: happy birthday, incredible human! Today we celebrate Maria’s legacy with a conversation between four women who commit themselves to peace building and community connection. Each of us “follow the child” within while learning from the children we encounter in our world.Cecelia Fabian is from El Salvador, grew up in Los Angeles, and lives/designs/makes daily beauty in Brooklyn.

My day often starts with SoulCollage® and qi gong. Each human finds their own routines & rituals at different seasons.These days I’m semi-obsessed with the Reality Check theme Bryar & Von’Erik prompted in June. I regularly ask friends, acquaintances, and strangers “What do you wish you’d learned in school but learned from life instead?”Today I share a journal entry from 14-year-old me. My complaints about Chemistry homework led to a great question: “Where will I learn to discover?”Next week we’ll

How does she radiate love amidst the fumes of others’ impatience and the vicissitudes of rush-hour?Kecia and I met at 1 More Rep Athletics, and she hosted me for this conversation in her Roxbury home.

Today I start and end with snippets of “If the World Just Danced,” a song recorded by Diana Ross in 2021. Yesterday I felt grateful to help lead Zumba® at Open Streets in Jamaica Plain then witness my former student Liz Lister teach Bachata by the River in Cambridge. While some people exude particular elegance in dancing, I believe everyone can learn within community movement spaces that embody joy while teaching consensual, safe touch.Three weeks ago Von’Erik dropped the title “Reality Check” to

Brief interlude from this summer’s education focus to explore a related theme: reclaiming creative energy.I met Tom Scotto at Zumi’s coffee shop in Ipswich, Massachusetts this winter, where my bicycle helmet prompted a conversation about New England fortitude. Before either of us walked back into the frigid morning we’d become friends. Today Tom offers practical advice for my first cycling event, the American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure on August 16th in Lexington, MA. Check out this link to

A week after we recorded, I realize that I didn’t actually publish this…whoops! I wanted to call this episode “Questing in Kindness” but Von’Erik and Bryar had better thoughts. What do you wish you’d learned in school but had to learn elsewhere? This summer we’ll ask this question alongside brilliant, compassionate humans who bring diverse perspectives to the table. Highlights from this particular conversation include the importance of healthy relationships and brass tacks financial education. Find

Worth noting that SoulCollage® Lives are one of the only spaces where I ask for payment. Trained facilitators of this process understand that it can bring up vast emotion and it’s a great idea to start with an in-person experience if you’re able.

Someday I’ll write a song for the country that I love. Today I practiced the 4th verse of Francis Scott Key’s “The Spar-Spangled Banner” after a morning walk ‘round Prospect Park Hill in Somerville. The Grand Union flag is a beauty surrounded by pollinator gardens and birdsong.Muse on this: what song do you most associate with a place you love? Many of my favorites are protest songs that capture the yearning for freedom. I will be praying for peace while singing out lesser-known verses and songs of

Von’Erik Barren-Tucker has a mind like no other. From roller blading as movement meditation to commending hyper awareness as a form of artistry, this conversation has had me marveling all day long.I prefer in-person connection to screen time, so it was fun to sit down in my apartment living room for this conversation.

We helped grow each other up by sharing church life in the 90’s and early 2000’s.Hannah is witty, winsome, and dynamic on stage. As a kid she made up sketch comedy with friends. We both remember her hilarious turn as Abednego in the kazoo-wielding Biblical musical It’s Cool in the Furnace.
