How A Wasp From Texas Discovered Peruvian Shamanism with Barbara Snow

Tue, 26 Jul 2022 18:00:00 -0700

Barbara Snow was born and lived most of her life in the States; she now lives in Villa Banba, Ecuador with her dogs and is a writer of what her friends call "science faction", crafting stories of process that enlighten and entertain. She has written and published around 20 books.

Her biggest transformation came early on, when her bridegroom of 6 weeks had a stroke and she took care of him until he died. Coming through the dark night, Barbara was introduced to Shamanism through a Peruvian Shaman named Oscar Miro-Quesada and she credits this spiritual path as saving her life.

Barbara shares how she has followed her guidance and given herself a lot of permission to be wildly creative, periodically reinventing herself and finding new ways of living fully expressed.

From Zimbabwe To Scotland Against All Odds, Making and Teaching Art with Donald Hargrove

Tue, 12 Jul 2022 15:27:00 -0700

Donald Hargrove's most recent collection of digital paintings "The Landscape of Origins" is an exquisite testimony to his connection to nature and the essence of life.

From a young age, Donald Hargrove knew he wanted to be an artist. Born and raised in Zimbabwe (Rhodesia then), Donald's life was shaped by deep friendships with his neighbors, his love of the land, and the joy he first experienced at the Mzilikazi Art Centre.

Most recently, he survived extraordinary surgeries that saved his life from a disease that took his right arm, shoulder girdle and major musculature on one side, and reconnected him with his love of art making during the intense lockdowns of Covid in Scotland.

He is exhibiting again, and shares his journey of healing and creative discovery here with Julie.

The Gospel of Thomas As My Workbook with Hannah Rappaport

Tue, 31 May 2022 16:10:00 -0700

Hannah Rappaport made a dramatic exit from her conventional life as housewife and mother and entered the world of Gnosticism at the age of forty.

Always someone who experienced visions, she experienced this initiation as her entrance into what she knew was her life's work, living true to her soul's purpose from the inside out.

Now living in Taos, New Mexico, Hannah and Julie uncover the spiritual thread of her life and where it has taken her.

Born in Israel Jewish
Being raised in California with loving parents in the time of sex, drugs and rock and roll
Being a housewife and a mother
Releasing her identities and roles and becoming a mystic
Being guided every step of the way
What life looks like now

Decoupling My Identity From Work And Money with Danielle Cadhit

Tue, 17 May 2022 16:10:00 -0700

This transformational tale is a fairy tale for modern times—how the young successful consultant found her way back to her love of life.

After being successful as a corporate consultant to big pharma, Danielle Cadhit experienced burnout and went on a sabbatical where she prioritized her gut experience and her playful side. She ultimately reinvented herself in a way that honors her playfulness, and creativity as much as her work savvy and innovation. She is no longer defined by her money or her job.

This tale inspires all of us to heed the signs of deep discontent and not be lured by external success; instead, to find another way to live, even if it means leaving something you're good at.

The gifts and challenge of being born to immigrant parents
The script of success
Her big pharma consulting success at an early age
Burnout
Her turn towards nonprofit work
The ball pit and her return to play
A seven month sabbatical
No longer being defined by her job/money
Coming home to herself

I Could Have Been A VP But I Had To Dance with Sandi Scheuber

Tue, 19 Apr 2022 16:04:00 -0700

Sandi Scheuber has lived parallel lives, one as a systems engineer for a large organization and the other as a dancer and choreographer. She has experienced times of great courage putting dance first along with many years of dance being after hours only.

Here she shares with Julie the value of purposefully not advancing up the ladder in her life as an engineer in order to make real time for her dancing life.

This is not a story of leaving everything behind to follow one's passions. This is a story of how one woman took the safe career path but has also boldly followed through on her dream of dancing, letting her passion lead the way.

Moving through uncertainty and not knowing

The Buddha That Transformed 11th Ave with Dan Stevenson

Tue, 11 Jan 2022 13:42:00 -0800

In 2009 11th Avenue and 19th Street in Oakland was an intersection that attracted garbage dumping, and gatherings of street people whose energy was dark and divisive. It was in this environment that Dan and Lu Stevenson, living in the neighborhood, got the creative idea to install a Buddha statue on the corner and see if it might change things. And did it ever!

Here Dan Stevenson talks with Julie about how their neighborhood was transformed--how the Buddha became a unifying force that shifted the energy of their neighborhood for good.

Thriving As A Social Entrepreneur With Madeleine Shaw

Tue, 30 Nov 2021 14:02:00 -0800

"We are living in a linear world and yet we are cyclical beings…We are in an override mode with our nervous systems and our minds…Yes we want solutions that work for the planet AND we need to not drive ourselves crazy or burn ourselves out as we approach those goals." Madeleine Shaw

Madeleine Shaw's new book, The Greater Good, as described on her website, is an inspiring, practical and deeply personal look at a growing movement of non-traditional entrepreneurs whose ventures are focused on creating social and environmental change.

Here, Madeleine talks with Julie about the core elements she writes about in her book and expands our notions of what it can look like to be in business in a way that honors who we are and what we have to give. Her own path from feminist activist to social entrepreneur was a radical shift of focus and put her on a transformational path that continues today.

Madeleine shares from her new book "The Greater Good":
• We are cyclical beings and can design our lives to work with our humanity
• Thriving doesn't have to mean scaling
• Madeleine's first product design was a personal solution to period pads
• Alternative ways to structure your business
• Empowering people on the fringes
• Her vision for the future and the role of everyday people starting businesses that solve the world's problems

Following The Thread Of The Horse with Sara Stenson

Tue, 07 Sep 2021 14:21:00 -0700

Sara Stenson can't remember a time growing up when she wasn't riding horses—starting as a child on her family's ranch in Wyoming. Here she walks Julie through a serendipitous path of how working with horses became her livelihood and her calling in life. She started as a young massage therapist, became a teacher of equine massage, and then established her own equine academy. Sara also reads three of her poems.

Inspired by Trash: Recycled Materials and Creative Process with Sara Basehart

Tue, 29 Jun 2021 16:56:00 -0700

Sara Basehart shares how recycled materials and creative process make beautiful art and a successful retail business in Taos New Mexico.

Sara Basehart is an artist whose medium is recycling. After building an earth-ship with her husband in the high desert of Taos New Mexico, Sara became immersed in a whole new art form based on trash compilations screwed to wooden bases reclaimed from the local ReStore and other sources. Each piece can take up to 5 years to complete.

An earthship is a house built out of cans, tires and bottles plastered with adobe dirt and solar powered as well as rain water collecting. It was a shocking moment of truth when she realized she should be living her whole life by these same concepts: recycled, reused, renewed, and transformed with her two hands.

You can see some of Sara’s on her underused Instagram @recycledrebellion but mostly found in Seconds eco store, my small business in downtown Taos, NM.

Born Into Art, A Taos, New Mexico Creative Ride-- with Georgia Gersh.

Tue, 01 Jun 2021 13:09:00 -0700

Georgia shares how her early childhood years growing up on a commune with her well known artist parents began her journey with living with art and artists in a remarkable way. After years of engaging in theater and making art on her own, Georgia returned to Taos years later to open up a gallery/store selling local art. Georgia’s sense of ease with how she makes and curates art is a beautiful story of the impact of growing up in the foothills of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains in an environment in love with all things creative.

Fateme was completely immersed in doing and achieving while working as a PhD Chemist & top-level strategist for a pharmaceutical company.

Then her book of flow poetry came tumbling out.

She experienced writing The Whisper as a remembering. She remembered herself as a young girl who wanted to be 3 things in life: A designer, a poet and a crazy scientist. She'd been neglecting her inner poet, forgotten for years, but now she had returned!

Fateme seamlessly shifts the paradigm of how we enter business and how we approach our life as a being with many dimensions. She shares what it means to her to change the question from "How?" to "Why?", what she experiences when she speaks to organizations on a stage, and what it means to be "Heartest".
