In episode 6, we meet Jennifer. I was moved by her capacity to name the power of the unspoken in balance with the things that we shout out. She is an inherently empathetic being, which is a strength in her field of expertise and as a Black woman in America, she has also endured the unspoken assumptions and biases on an everyday basis. Her indomitable spirit is palpable and she gives us all reasons to shout out for what is important and necessary, no matter how hard that work is. Take a comfortable seat and listen to her story. You can find Dr. Jennifer Hutton at www.drjpop.com

Meet Joey, a full-time artist, a writer, a restaurant worker, a musician, and an honest and open man. Joey invites you to feel with him, as he talks about disbelief in past relationships and how he has learned to replace self-destruction with practices of connection. He points out how being connected to yourself, takes a lot of work. He knows that the Beatles and Radiohead are the best bands ever and he now feels loose in his body. With humor and love, he intimately offers himself to the interview and to you the listener. As he says, “Let’s do it”, take a listen. You can find Joey here: https://www.josephpalestina.com

In this episode, we meet Adrienne. An early riser who has a lot of time with herself, waiting for the rest of the world to wake up. She lives deeply in her body and describes her inner body experience as “electricity”. She knows movement. She moves and she moves others. Adrienne shares with us the perils of being undervalued in the fitness world and how that inspired her to move into ownership of her own business. She is an OG of fitness, a force of laughter and exuberant curse words, and a community leader. Listen to her fire and wisdom. You can find Adrienne here: https://www.arcstu.com

This is disbelieved and today I want to share with you our first interlude: An interlude is a pause between the interviews where different people will share short stories of times when they felt disbelieved. My goal is to give you, the listeners many chances to hear from people about when they have felt disbelieved or disbelieved themselves. So that you might reflect on your own experiences and perhaps even get to know what those moments created in you. In time, as we understand all the ways disbelief appears in our life, we might be able to see it when it happens and instead of our responses being afterthoughts, you/me/we might be able to tackle it head-on.

In today’s episode, we meet Daniel. He is a singer, a writer, a healer, a confidant, and a communicator. Daniel paints a visceral picture of what it is like to stand tall and feel dropped-in to the body in a world that wants to tell a lie about who he is. Despite having a lot to be mad about in this crazy world, he wields his powerful self with resonance and song. Listen to his story. You can find Daniel here: https://www.danieljamesbelnavis.com

In this episode, we meet Morgan, a spiritual warrior, whose inner essence is both a powerful tiger and an easy smile. You can feel Morgan's grace and wisdom come through her words.

Listen to her inspiring interview. You can find Morgan here: https://girltrek.org
