Little Waves Project - Stories That Inspire

“I wanted to create a space where people can connect with others who are as curious as they are” - Breanne Kiefner This episode left me feeling enlightened, like I had grown from hearing a new perspective. Breanne brings so much wisdom from her experiences into our conversation. Because she was instantly able to drop into the present moment, I found it easy to talk with her about her learnings as a mother, business owner, and more. Breanne is the creator and owner of Root Adventures, a company that designs trips and online experiences that allow all types of people to connect with nature, people, and become their best selves. She speaks to some of the challenges of owning a travel company during the pandemic and also gives us a sneak peak into the exciting virtual programs she is designing to make sure she can help as many people as possible connect during this challenging time. I so appreciated her honesty about what it was like to become a mother, deal with mental illness and work through challenges with her partner. We can all take a page out of Breanne's book as we strive to show up as our true selves, to make sure we can live as our best selves.

“Everyone deserves to be heard.” - Cole Egger This episode is a perfect example of how a little wave can turn into a tidal wave. Cole Egger comes to us as the Co-Founder and CEO of Listeners On Call, a company that focuses on providing a platform for human connections based on shared experiences. Cole shows up to tell us about his mission with Listeners On Call as well as his personal experiences that led him to starting this company. I think Listeners On Call is going to make a massive ripple effect, changing the game for mental health awareness and providing quick support for people who are struggling to find it today.

Ep.10 | Erin Antoville (Alzheimer's Disease, Nature Based Spirituality, & Losing A Parent)

"Your work is never done." - Erin Antoville Erin comes with an open heart and an appetite to share the things that have helped her on her journey to where she is today. Erin opens up about the challenging times she had as a young girl dealing with the divorce of her parents and losing her mom. Her wisdom speaks when she explains that “everyone is carrying an invisible backpack,” a phase used to illuminate how you can never know what someone is dealing with just by looking at them. I love Erin’s story because it shows you how fostering the connection with yourself can allow you to thrive in life.
