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!

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.

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.

You know Colleen loves a good cookbook. So this episode Colleen covers one of the pioneers of the modern cookbook, and an amazing modern woman, Julia Child.

Tangential Inspiration
05/03/23 • 52 min
Theodore Roosevelt- President, Rough Rider, Soldier and . . . nature lover?
