Critical Thinkers: Raise One, Be One - with Julie Bogart
New World Normal
03/17/22 • 52 min
Albert Einstein is often credited as saying, “Everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” The quote’s true origins are unknown, but the sentiment has a Facebook-shareable quality to it and has gained traction as modern attitudes toward education grow and shift.
In this episode we chat with the author of The Brave Learner and Raising Critical Thinkers, Julie Bogart. Julie draws on years of research and experience to discuss the flaws in our educational system exposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. School closures and distance learning have also offered families an opportunity to evaluate the direction of today’s schooling practices, and many agree: It’s time for change.
Topics Covered:
- The longstanding vulnerabilities in our educational system and the harm ultimately caused by standardized testing and teaching practices
- The uptick in homeschooling that has resulted from the pandemic and continues even as restrictions lift
- How can parents help cultivate a dynamic and diverse learning experience for children?
- Training our own critical thinking skills by interrogating our gut reactions
- Why it’s good to disagree
- Technology’s role in learning and the importance of unplugging regularly

Sit Back and Get Uncomfortable
New World Normal
06/23/22 • 53 min
As the world slowly recovers from the pandemic, we once again venture out into our communities, settle back into our routines, and return to our regularly-scheduled broadcasting as well as we can. Though any TNWN listener could tell you that “normal” isn’t always a good thing and that our own comfort doesn’t equate to someone else’s, today we will be examining why in more specific detail with our guest, Kerri Kelly.
Kerri Kelly is an activist for wellness, a yoga instructor, and a catalyst for change in her communities. She’s also the host/founder of the podcast/initiative CTZNWELL, promoting the idea that we must democratize wellness in order for all of us to truly thrive. Her upcoming book, American Detox: The Myth of Wellness and How We Can Truly Heal, is an extension of that work. Settle in and get uncomfortable, because sometimes it takes a little discomfort to grow and heal a community.
Topics Covered:
- How do we recondition ourselves to avoid the pitfalls of normalcy?
- Creating a culture of accountability
- Recovering as a community from wide-scale traumas like 9/11 or a pandemic
- How do the relationships within our community help us grow, personally?
- What are the limits of allyship as we know it? Can we do better?

Ism's and Syndromes and Labels - Oh My
New World Normal
07/14/22 • 54 min
“Live your truth,” we’re told by our society, and it’s a wonderful message. However, the unspoken expectation is that our truth needs to be beautiful on social media, it has to compare with other people’s truths, and it must represent the values of our employers. It’s a contradictory expectation, and we must grow beyond it. There’s a cognitive dissonance in our culture, and today’s guest is doing her best to disrupt that dissonance.
Melissa Chureu is a neurodivergent attorney and life coach who has been doing groundbreaking work in bringing mindfulness to an unexpected place: the legal sector. In a field of frequent toxicity, it isn’t easy to practice self care or meditation. Melissa speaks about her mindfulness practices and how we can live our lives presently and peacefully in a world that isn’t always peaceful.
Topics covered:
- Representing ourselves to the fullest in all facets of our lives
- What do we do when we can’t turn off the TV and avoid the news?
- Imposter syndrome, and why it isn’t entirely the “imposter’s” fault
- Introducing unique self-care practices into the justice system

Our Future is an Expedition
New World Normal
06/09/22 • 52 min
When a problem is too big for an individual to handle, it’s easy to get stuck and to feel apathetic. For instance, we can commit to curbing our plastic use by eliminating straws. However, on an individual level we also understand that this choice is only our own. The rest of the world will keep using straws. What’s the point? This is why, in nature and in society, humans occasionally require support and a like-minded collective in order to accomplish big things.
In today’s episode we speak with a like-minded disruptor, Sunniva Sorby. As a Norwegian-Canadian environmental advocate, Sunniva is an inspired individual with a special place in her heart for the poles. She’s taken the initiative to get involved with her passions in any way possible, like being in the first group of women to ski to the South Pole, traveling to the U.S. in solidarity during a major election, and taking part in scientific expeditions to gather valuable climate data. Our environment currently has an expiration date. Sunniva feels this urgency, and works to educate and inspire others to reevaluate their priorities and take action on climate change.
Topics covered:
- How the effects of climate change can be observed in our day-to-day lives
- How can we possibly be optimistic about climate change?
- Why would anybody ever ski to the South Pole?
- The best ways to get involved in the scientific community as a layperson
- How is the global community like an expedition?

Put some hygge in your workflow
New World Normal
05/27/22 • 52 min
The dreadful treadmill of office culture looms before us as COVID restrictions lift. Back to the normal life of commuting away from our families, back to Monday through Friday spent under harsh fluorescent lights, back to the 9-5 grind that can absorb more time than “9-5” implies. With a taste of work-from-home independence, many have realized that “normal” wasn’t working for them. So what now? Today we chat with Kimberly Crossland, a business coach who founded Roadpreneur and Cruisin’ and Campfires.
Kimberly’s unique exposure to Denmark’s well-balanced workplace culture left her with a different idea of “normal,” one that would surprise most Americans. Upon her return to the country, Kimberly knew there was a better way to work. As a result, she built her businesses around the idea that people should be able to have it all: A good job, flexibility, family, travel, and the joy that comes with it.
Topics covered:
- Kimberly tells her entrepreneurial story, beginning in Denmark and culminating in two successful businesses
- Where does America’s workplace culture fall short?
- Setting boundaries with ourselves when we’re self-employed
- How do you pronounce “hygge?”
- The benefits of social media

Burn Out to Burning Purpose
New World Normal
05/12/22 • 40 min
Sometimes we feel like our work has no impact on the world around us. It keeps coming back fresh every day, it keeps us from what we truly love, but it also keeps the lights on. How do we break out of this mundane, exhausting cycle? The first step to social disruption is squashing the stale standards we set for ourselves. Geri Paige Butner, today’s guest, is a living example of this.
Geri is a business coach who found her niche in the wake of the pandemic after leaving her corporate job and going on a journey of self-discovery. Burned out and looking for purpose, Geri noticed that she was not the only one reflecting on her life and work in this way. Many others had found that the 9-5 culture was holding them back and that they were ready to find something new. Like the old saying goes, “if you want something you’ve never had, you have to do something you’ve never done.”
Topics covered:
- Geri shares her journey from office burnout to doing what she loves
- Asking ourselves the important and often difficult questions to further our own happiness
- How COVID was a catalyst in building stronger communities
- Changing attitudes towards traditional 9-5 jobs

Arranging Your (Own) Death
New World Normal
09/22/22 • 53 min
Author’s note for the head honchos: I really liked “Death Becomes Her” as a title!
We’ve heard from many coaches on this podcast. Life coaches, finance coaches, business coaches, but who’s ever heard of a death coach? Everybody does it, but many of us get nervous when speaking about death. We still have plenty of years, why should we rush into all these gloomy documents? Today’s guest, Julia DeCaneva, sheds light on the stigma and offers solutions.
Julia is a cancer survivor with a knack for organization. She spent some time as a professional home organizer, which would later carry into her work as a coach in mindfulness. She now works as a death doula to help us make the most out of our lives and, by extension, our deaths.
Topics covered:
- Intentional living and how it makes our deaths better
- Why we should talk about sickness while we’re well
- The importance of saving your passwords!
- How can organization and decluttering ease our passing?
