Sometimes, the universe drops someone into your life -- and that's how it was with Rochelle Asberry! I was fortunate enough to meet her after I spoke at Linking Indy Women a few months ago. We met for breakfast and had so much to talk about -- and so much in common! In today's episode, Rochelle and I talk about her journey to finding success as a health and wellness coach -- including a successful massage therapy practice. Rochelle also talks about what it means to truly embrace the present and find joy in all that you do. She loves the concept so much, she wrote a whole book about it! I especially loved the inspiration she found to start a non-profit called Kind Hands Foundation, which provides health and hygiene products for … [Read more...]
Sanity and Civility in 2019 with Audrey Scagnelli
Ever felt like you were going crazy when political issues get hot? I feel ya. So does today's podcast guest, Audrey Scagnelli. Bipartisanship and civility is kind of her middle name.

Church Politics: Diversity & Jesus with Trillia Newbell
Trillia Newbell has a voice that radiates joy. You'll hear that in today's episode, when I speak with her about her career as a writer, her love of the gospel and about important topics like racial diversity, Christians in the age of Trump and a hope greater than this world. Trillia is the author of many books, most recently a bible study on Romans, but her book "United: Captured by God's Vision for Diversity" is where I first read her words.

Trillia's wise words about staying joyful, hopeful and embracing the neighbors and friends God has put into our lives were … [Read more...]
Hero in Our Time: Jessica Hulsey Nickel’s Fight to Save Lives
Jessica Hulsey Nickel's first advocacy project came when she was in elementary school -- and she hasn't stopped educating others about addiction and prevention since then. It's been 20 years --and since then she founded the Addiction Policy Center. As a little girl, her parents both suffered from drug-use disorders and she spent long stints in foster care and living with grandparents as her parents navigated their way through grueling addictions. Her tough beginnings led her to a life of passionate advocacy, rather than becoming a statistic of the drug epidemic herself. She found herself at Princeton University and not long after, working with every President from Bill Clinton to Donald Trump. She's re-creating the … [Read more...]
