Episode 132: Interview with Jon Slifka - His Disability Does Not Define Him
Tangential Inspiration
05/24/23 • 49 min
We were lucky enough to be able to interview Jon Slifka. You probably haven't heard of him, but you will, and for good reason. Jon is an amazing advocate for the disabled community in Connecticut and elsewhere. In a wheelchair himself, Jon has used his experience to help improve access and quality of life for other people with disabilities. And the part we love best about Jon is his amazing attitude. He has made his disability a strength and is using it to help others. An up-and-coming inspirational speaker, you are going to get to hear Jon before he becomes a household name. We are so thrilled to be able to share this interview with you and are so inspired by Jon Slifka. Enjoy!

Tangential Inspiration
06/14/23 • 38 min
Need an inspiration break? Here it is. Three great stories to inspire you and to remember the good in the world. Colleen shares a story about a grumpy cat that inspired her owner to help elderly pet owners and the author of the Mitford series, who against the odds became a New York Times Best Selling Author, and created the charming people of Mitford. Teresa talks about Clara Hale, who took in babies nobody wanted, reunited families, and pioneered a new way to deal with drug-addicted mothers and their babies. Truly a heroic person and an inspiration. Great stories this week, we would love for you to join us.

Episode 130: Charles Schulz - Four Frames of Wholesomeness
Tangential Inspiration
05/10/23 • 36 min
In a world where there is so much just negative and trashy stuff, it's nice to find some kindness, decency, and wholesomeness. We found some and we are willing to share it with you. Starting off, Jerry Seinfeld's wife, Jessica Seinfeld, is not only a superstar in the kitchen, with a lot of great cookbooks, but she is also helping young families in need in New York City. Some of our younger listeners may not be familiar with Charlie Brown and Snoopy, but our older listeners no doubt have some found memories of Charles Schulz's group in Peanuts. For 50 years, Charles Schulz brought wholesome humor to newspapers and television. Everyone should learn more about as well as learn from, Charles Schulz. Finally, hear about a barber in Cincinnati who is giving his time to help special needs children look their best. Lots of great stuff. It's like a purifying cleanse of decency washing over you. Give it a try, you will feel better.

Inspiration. That is what you will find in this episode, plain and simple. Teresa continues her deep dive with Part 2 on the indomitable Coretta Scott King.

And learn about Myrtilla Miner who opened up one of the first schools for Black girls in the years leading up to the American Civil War. Take approximately 28 minutes from your day and drink in the inspiration!

You always hear about the scandals and dirty laundry of Hollywood celebrities. But what about the good guys out there trying to improve the world with the gifts they have been given?

Colleen talks about Matt Damon and just how incredible the gift of clean water can be to people. And then, Colleen talks about what makes someone inspiring and what can we do to help inspire others.

Spring is in the air and so is inspiration! Teresa starts off with the amazing story of Birute Galidakas, who lived in the jungles of Borneo for years studying and helping to protect the wild orangutans. Then there is the magic of the Landfill Harmonic, a group of children from Paraguay, who use instruments made out of landfill garbage, to play incredible music around the world. And Colleen talks about the wonder and comfort of the Danish tradition of Hygee (sounds like HOO-GA). You will feel cozy, just learning about it. Grab a blanket and a cup of tea and have a listen.
