Themes: Adaptation, adaptability, resilience, lessons from nature, audacity, hope, becoming the change, authenticity Description: This week I explore audacity, the willingness to take bold risk in the face of failure. Isn’t the will to live the most audacious act we have?  I explore lessons from sea life and how they are redefining their environment.  I also explore ways in which audacity is the catalyst to change, and the 4 steps I took to living an audacious life.

Theme: Courage, Mental Rehearsal, Censorship, Dreaming, Activism, Climate Action Description: Many times, courage is not innate.  It requires mental rehearsal and planning. This week I explore the decrease of disruptive discoveries in science while we are also seeing the censorship of scientists in the US around climate change. This episode encourages self-forgiveness, activism, courage and dreaming. Enjoy! References:  * Papers and Patents are Becoming Less Disruptive Over Time.  By Michael Park, et al.
