Episode 03: You Belong with Tara Emrick

Season 02 - Episode 07: Raising Kindness

In this interview, we talk about a favorite topic and an important one – volunteering with our children. Many parents have a strong desire to incorporate volunteer activities into their children's lives, but finding places and opportunities can often be a challenge, especially for younger children. In this episode, I talk with Raising Kindness co-founders on the unique and creative organization they founded to help kids and parents give back in a fun, easy, inspiring way. If giving back an important part of your parenting strategy? If so, I'd love to hear what you are doing to incorporate this into your lifestyle. And if you are in Denver, be sure to check out Raising Kindness and the incredible opportunities to volunteer with them.

Season 02 - Episode 04: Philanthropic Travel with Lydia Dean

When we started this conversation, I knew it would be meaningful to me. I've had a heart for travel for some time now. My eyes have been opened to a global connection and the wonder that transpires when we transplant ourselves among different people, values, and traditions for some time now. But what I so loved about this conversation with Lydia Dean, Founder of GoPhilanthropic, was her pathway to listening to the calling of doing this important work, her own reflection on what it took to create something like this, and to do in the most responsible and effective way. In this episode, we talk about her personal story and struggle with living a life that didn't feel was living up to her calling, how she took years to uncover what she was meant to do, and how she has been putting it into action over the last decade. Listen all the way to end for some of the best advice on living your own calling.
