As a board-certified internist specializing in menopause, I'm sharing why 40% of women are taking control of their hormone replacement therapy through self-titration to finally relieve perimenopause symptoms. In this video, I break down the latest research on adjusting your estrogen and progesterone doses at home, how to manage fluctuating hormones safely, and why standard HRT prescriptions often fail. Learn how to work alongside your doctor to personalize your hormone therapy regimen so you can eliminate brain fog, night sweats, and mood swings for good.
Most moms I talk to are running on empty and still showing up for everyone else first. But what if feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and responsible for everyone isn't actually the price of being a good mom? In this episode of Successful with ADHD, I'm joined by Heather Chauvin, leadership coach, TEDx speaker, host of Emotionally Uncomfortable, and author of Dying to Be a Good Mother. After being diagnosed with stage four cancer at 28 while raising three boys, Heather was forced to rethink how she was living, parenting, and using her energy.Heather and I get into ADHD, motherhood, burnout, emotional regulation, boundaries, executive functioning, and the invisible mental load so many women carry. We talk about what happens when you stop being everyone else's executive function, why letting your kids struggle can actually help them build independence, and how operating from the energy you want to feel can change your relationships. I also share a deeply personal part of my own story and what happened when I finally started stepping back. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything and somehow still failing, press play on this one.Episode Highlights[0:45] - Meet Heather Chauvin and hear how a stage four cancer diagnosis changed the way she approached motherhood and life.[2:19] - Heather shares the internal shift that made her decide she was no longer willing to feel depleted.[4:10] - Facing fear, survival mode, motherhood, business, and cancer all at the same time.[6:39] - The difference between simply coping and asking yourself how you actually want to live.[8:29] - Why getting another planner or writing another to-do list won't fix an identity built around doing everything for everyone.[12:20] - Looking beyond ADHD and other labels to recognize our basic human needs for regulation, nourishment, movement, and connection.[17:02] - Heather breaks down Energetic Time Management and her powerful “Wouldn't it be nice if…” practice.[21:11] - Holding boundaries with ADHD kids without rescuing, controlling, or falling into a guilt spiral.[23:04] - Why emotional discomfort can feel horrible at first—and why yelling can actually be a stress response.[28:21] - I open up about nearly getting divorced, carrying the executive functioning of my household, and what changed when I finally stepped back.[30:45] - The fine line between helping, rescuing, codependence, and interdependence.[34:54] - Getting the mental load out of your brain and allowing other people to take responsibility—even when they do things differently.[36:22] - ADHD executive functioning, independence, and why letting our kids fail can be an important part of helping them grow.[37:17] - Moving through shame, regulating your nervous system, and creating the accountability your brain actually needs.[41:12] - Collaborative problem-solving: asking kids what their brains need instead of assuming we have all the answers.[43:08] - Why Heather believes the more responsibility you have, the lighter you should feel.[47:49] - Delaying difficult conversations, using ADHD-friendly communication strategies, and knowing when it's better to text, write, or walk.[50:02] - Heather leaves overwhelmed moms with one belief she wants them to stop carrying.Links and ResourcesHeather Chauvin is a leadership advisor for high-performing women raising children and building lives that demand more than conventional time management can hold.Her work sits at an unusual intersection: Trained as a Social Worker, she spent the early part of her career inside the systems most of her clients are now navigating from the other side (schools, mental health services, family courts, the quiet machinery that shapes how children, especially neurodiverse children, are seen and supported). That lens still informs everything. She knows what's happening underneath the surface of a family, a marriage, a woman holding it all together.What she layers on top is lived. A stage 4 cancer diagnosis at 28, while raising three young sons and building a career. A TEDx stage. A book — Dying to Be a Good Mother. A podcast with more than 11 million downloads. Years of working privately with executives, founders, and mothers who look successful on paper and feel quietly depleted underneath.Her clients describe her as the advisor in their back pocket, someone who can hold the strategic conversation and the spiritual one in the same breath. The cash flow plan and the question of what makes you feel alive. The team restructure and the marriage or health diagnosis. The next career move and the child who needs you to show up differently than you were taught to.The throughline is this: The more responsibility you carry, the lighter you should feel. Heather has spent 15+ years proving it's possible — for herself, and for the women she works with privately.https://www.instagram.com/heatherchauvin_/Thank you for tuning into "SuccessFULL with ADHD."

Today we're chatting with Jessica Barr, owner of Messy Jessy Vintage, a Brooklyn-based vintage brand specializing in women's wear and bridal, with a showroom she shares with two fellow dealers and a rotating presence at markets and events across New York, including the Manhattan Vintage Show. Jessica studied journalism in school, and became fascinated with sustainability and inequality in fashion — studies that eventually led her to a dedicated practice of secondhand shopping and, not long after, selling vintage itself. Her real education in vintage came post-grad, working for Matt Smith at Newburgh Vintage Emporium, where she sharpened her eye for feminine silhouettes and fell hard for 1970s dresses. From there, her Etsy shop grew from a side hustle into a full-time business, eventually landing her in a Brooklyn showroom. In the last year, vintage bridal has become an unexpected and deeply personal part of her business, drawing in brides for laid-back appointments and building a community she never anticipated. We're getting into it all — the treasured thrift store finds, the incredible vintage buys from a theater's costume department, road trips across Massachusetts, and the labels and styles she can never resist. All that and more on today's show! Let's dive right in! DISCUSSED IN THE EPISODE: [02:52] Jessica grew up loving fashion, including Jennifer Aniston street style and Phoebe from Friends, and hunting down pieces from Poshmark in high school [04:45] She studied journalism in college with a focus on sustainability and inequality in fashion [08:25] Reconstructing a shredded 1980s Pink Floyd tee from the thrift store [10:21] Working for Matt Smith at Newburgh Vintage Emporium post-graduation [13:11] Developing her vintage brand's point of view: 70s dresses, cottagecore, feminine eveningwear [14:39] How vintage bridal became part of the business, and selling her first wedding dress [17:24] Balancing TikTok trends with personal sourcing vision [19:16] Why her bridal content resonates so strongly [23:37] Going full-time in vintage when she moved to Brooklyn, and the hustle of NYC's saturated but supportive vintage market [27:56] Opening a shared Brooklyn showroom [34:01] How her sourcing has shifted toward wholesale as the business has grown [41:31] Holy grail finds and go-to labels [48:22] Favorite pieces from her personal collection, and her current vintage wishlist EPISODE MENTIONS: Messy Jessy Vintage @messyjessyvintage Newburgh Vintage Emporium Matt Smith on Pre-Loved Podcast The Manhattan Vintage Show Armoury Shop Lucky Fool Vintage Studio Dorothy Brimfield Antique Flea Market LET'S CONNECT:
New Teacher Talk welcomes Abigail Jarrett, an educator who specializes in managing extreme student behavior, for a candid conversation about what to do when a situation escalates past anything your training prepared you for. Dr. Beth Wilkins opens by naming something every new teacher needs to hear: when behavior reaches this level, it is usually not a reflection of your skill or your effort. Abigail describes the scenarios that can feel like a new teacher's worst nightmare, a student throwing chairs, screaming, hitting classmates, or bolting from the room, and reframes them as communication. Behavior like this usually signals a student who is overwhelmed, dysregulated, or out of coping skills in the moment. Understanding that matters, but as Abigail is clear to say, safety always comes first. Drawing on a firsthand account from her own first-grade classroom, she offers five concrete strategies you can hold onto when things escalate, along with the prevention and repair work that happens before and after the hard moments. What you will take away: Why extreme behavior is communication, and why safety still comes first How to stay calm and steady even when you are not feeling calm The difference between misbehavior and crisis behavior, and how to tell quickly Why relationships built before a crisis are your strongest prevention How to debrief afterward in a way that builds skills instead of shame Resources mentioned: The Explosive Child by Ross Greene, the Collaborative and Proactive Solutions model, and the behavior specialists, counselors, and special education teams already in your building. If this episode gave you something to hold onto, or there is a topic you want us to cover next, leave us a review. We read every one, and your feedback shapes future episodes. #NewTeacherTalk #ClassroomManagement #BehaviorSupport #CrisisResponse #NewTeacherSupport #StudentBehavior #TraumaInformedTeaching #CollaborativeProactiveSolutions #TeacherWellbeing #K12Education
Today's episode is a heartfelt conversation about the importance of helping neurodivergent children understand themselves and their brain profile, and how this understanding can foster confidence and self-advocacy. Emily talks with Dr. Liz Angoff about the need for transparent communication with children about their diagnoses, and the use of relatable metaphors to explain complex concepts. They discuss collaborative approaches in assessments, the challenges of co-occurring diagnoses, and the role of parents in supporting their children. How can families find practitioners who align with neurodiversity-affirming practices, and how can that lead to understanding and acceptance for both children and their families? Get comfortable, we're revisiting a conversation that covers a lot of ground. TAKEAWAYS Helping kids understand their brain profiles is crucial. Self-understanding fosters confidence and self-advocacy. Using relatable metaphors can aid in explaining neurodiversity. Labels can serve as anchors for understanding experiences. Children often internalize negative labels if not addressed. Collaborative assessments enhance understanding for both kids and parents. Empowering parents shifts the narrative from deficits to differences. Finding the right practitioner is essential for supportive assessments. Normalizing neurodiversity can change family dynamics for life. Mental health clinicians: Telling a child about a new diagnosis can feel like navigating a minefield, but it doesn't have to. We're hosting a training with Dr. Liz Angoff, called Explaining a Diagnosis to Kids in a Neurodiversity-Affirming Way, on Friday, September 11th from 2:00 to 3:30 Eastern. The course is worth 1.5 continuing education hours, and is approved through both the APA and NBCC. You'll learn how to replace pathologizing jargon with empowering, neurodiversity-affirming language that builds self-advocacy and resilience. Register for this course today. We're getting closer to our annual, free Creating Neurodiversity-Affirming Schools Crash Course. Our panel of experts will talk all about how to approach the new school year and set our neurodivergent students up for success. The event is Tuesday, September 22 at 7:30 PM Eastern, and again, it is free to register and attend. Here's a link to register and join us! Dr. Liz Angoff is a Licensed Educational Psychologist and a Diplomate in School Neuropsychology, specializing in assessment and consultation for children and their families in the Bay Area, California. Her work centers on helping neurodivergent children better understand and embrace how their brains work, fostering confidence, self-advocacy, and empowerment. She is the author of the Brain Building Books and Our Brains, a series designed to support children in navigating their learning and identity through affirming, accessible language. Through her practice and writing, Dr. Liz is committed to demystifying the evaluation process and creating tools that help families and educators work together to support thriving learners.

I got to reconnect with Emily Bowie, a partner at Thorne Advisors, and someone I actually met years ago in a tiny mastermind back when she was doing something completely different in her business.We talked about what actually makes a partnership work (and what makes it collapse), why staying in your lane protects your reputation, how bookkeepers can collaborate with tax pros instead of competing with them, and why quality standards matter so much in an industry where anybody can hang a shingle. We also went deep on personal finance, debt, and the soft skills that separate a good advisor from a great one.In this episode you'll hear:What keeps a partnership from turning into a horror storyHow to collaborate with tax preparers and other CFO professionals the right wayWhy "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" applies to adding services to your firmWhy checking in on a client's personal finances pays dividends for the work you do on the business sideResources mentioned in this episode:Thorne Advisors: https://www.thorneadvisors.com/Elevate 2.0 → learn the skills to become an advisor https://www.ambitiousbookkeeper.com/elevate5 Cash Leaks & 5 Missed Tax Deductions - https://www.thorneadvisors.com/cashleaksMeet EmilyEmily Bowie is a Cash Flow Strategist with 15+ years of experience, including her time as an audit manager in Big Four accounting. She's known for bringing calm, clarity, and structure to financial conversations that often feel stressful or avoided. Outside of Thorne Advisors, Emily leads her church's financial ministry, is a mom to three young kids, and enjoys a good DIY project almost as much as a well-organized set of financials.Co-led by founder Andrea Mason and CFO Emily Bowie, both CPAs, Thorne Advisors helps women protect what they earn while building sustainable wealth that actually supports their lives. They deliver a true 360-degree view of finances, spotlighting cash leaks, tightening income strategy, and creating tax plans that align with real goals, not just compliance checklists.Connect with Emily
"For those of us in health and medicine and related fields that were really focused on promoting HIV prevention through PrEP, one of the ways that we realized that where we needed to invest was around health communication, increasing awareness that there was a new strategy available, demystifying what it was and what it wasn't.” – Pedro A. SerranoThis episode of The HPP Podcast features the work of the Chicago Queer Latine Collaborative. Pedro A. Serrano, Harita S. Shah, and Gregory Phillips II share how The Collaborative utilized a health communication campaign to engage LGBTQ citizens in PrEP awareness and uptake. The authors share the relevant background information, the context for the work, how The Collaborative was developed, and how to effectively engage similar communities. Best practices for engaging relevant stakeholders and optimizing financial investments are shared by the authors.

Guest speaker Russ Peterson continues the network values series with 'collaborative,' tracing the word to the Latin for working together and finding the pattern in Acts, where the temple-observant Jerusalem church and the multicultural Antioch church strengthen each other in both directions — Barnabas sent north, famine relief sent back. The Jerusalem Council then models how collaboration survives disagreement: much debate, then silence and listening, and finally shared ground rules the Spirit worked out among them.
Kim Wiggins is a world-renowned painter from New Mexico, and one of the most recognizable artists working in the American West today. His bold, swirling canvases have made him one of the leading artistic voices of what's come to be called the New West. His work hangs in the Autry, the Booth, and the American Museum of Western Art in Denver, and this past year he won Best in Show at the Prix de West, the most prestigious award in Western art, becoming the first modernist ever to take it home. Kim comes by all of this honestly. Both sides of his family came west in covered wagons in the late 1800s and settled into ranching along the Pecos River. His mother was running two ranches and a nightclub in Arizona by her mid-twenties; his father was a photojournalist for Life and Sports Illustrated, and a bush pilot who once had to sprint back to his plane in the Amazon and count the arrows in the side of the fuselage. Kim grew up surrounded by creativity– Thomas Hart Benton paged through his sketchbook and he ate lunch with Georgia O'Keeffe at Ghost Ranch. He began focusing seriously on painting while stationed in Europe with the military and soon became the youngest member of the Society of American Impressionists — a career most artists would give an arm for, and one he walked away from completely. We talk about why he walked away, which starts with a moment at a show in St. Louis when he spotted one of his paintings across the room, hurried over, and discovered it wasn't his. We cover the lean years that followed, including knocking on doors in Lubbock in the summer heat with a car full of paintings. And we get into the ideas behind the work: why a loss of innovation is the death knell of a civilization, why he watches children in galleries instead of collectors, the paintings he made for the NAACP after his son asked him a question he couldn't answer, and his conviction that a gift, by definition, belongs to someone else. I first met Kim back in 2022 at Maxwell Alexander Gallery's ten-year show, where he was on a panel I moderated, and I've wanted a longer conversation ever since.

What if some of the most disabling symptoms in EDS, HSD, POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS, and long COVID are being driven by something we still struggle to see on standard testing? In this episode of Bendy Bodies, Dr. Linda Bluestein is joined by guest co-host Dr. Ina Stephens, Associate Director of the UVA Health EDS and Hypermobility Disorder Center, along with Brain Inflammation Collaborative co-founder Christy Jagdfeld and neuroscientist Dr. Megan Fitzgerald. Together, they explore the rapidly evolving science of brain inflammation, including what it actually means, how it differs from conditions like encephalitis or brain edema, and why it may matter in complex multisystem illness. The conversation dives into microglial activation, mast cell involvement in the central nervous system, and the challenge of detecting subtle neuroinflammation in living patients. The guests also discuss emerging research tools, including ultra-high-field MRI, PET ligands, and blood-based extracellular vesicles, that may eventually give clinicians a clearer window into what is happening inside the brain. The group also takes a closer look at the Brain Inflammation Collaborative's Unhide platform, which is collecting real-world, patient-reported data across more than 30 overlapping chronic conditions, including EDS, POTS, MCAS, ME/CFS, and long COVID. Early findings raise important questions about quality of life, symptom burden, the limitations of the Beighton score, and why pediatric research may be especially important. The episode closes with practical implications, including why pacing matters when exercise can worsen symptoms rather than improve them, and what patients and clinicians should watch as this field moves forward. Takeaways “Brain inflammation” can involve subtle processes such as microglial activation and mast cell signaling that may not appear on routine MRI or CT scans. Emerging tools such as ultra-high-field MRI, PET imaging, and blood-based extracellular vesicles may eventually help researchers detect and track neuroinflammation in living patients. The Unhide platform has collected real-world data from thousands of participants with overlapping chronic conditions, offering a new way to study symptom burden and quality of life outside traditional clinical trials. The Beighton score may not reflect functional severity or symptom burden, highlighting the need for better ways to assess hypermobility over time. Pediatric research is urgently needed to understand how these conditions develop and whether earlier recognition could change long-term outcomes.

Today's episode explores one of our favorite topics, fascia, from a fresh perspective. Host Rachel is joined by David Lesondak, Senior Structural Integrator and Fascia Specialist at UPMC's Center for Integrative Medicine. David is an author, educator, and fascia specialist whose work focuses on helping people better understand and appreciate the fascial system. David unpacks what fascia is, why it matters, and what yoga practitioners need to know to support fascial fitness. He explains the importance of feeding our bodies a varied "movement diet", including pandiculation, hydration through twisting, myofascial release, elastic recoil, skipping, and bouncing. The conversation also explores the need for collaboration between yoga, bodywork, and other treatment modalities, and touches on whether fascia could actually provide a framework through which we experience embodiment.

Principal Matters: The School Leader's Podcast with William D. Parker
A Quick Note to Listeners: Before each week’s interview, Will Parker and Jen Schwanke take some time to answer a listener question. This week’s question is: I'm new to my role as a principal after years as an AP, and I've set my calendar for what I believe are the most important priorities. How do I prepare for the unknowns — those responsibilities or expectations I won't be aware of until they happen for the first time? Listen in to hear their response! Meet Kurtis Hewson: Kurtis Hewson is an award-winning educator, former teacher and administrator, and a respected post-secondary instructor. He is the co-founder of Jigsaw Learning and works with schools and districts across North America and internationally to design and implement Collaborative Response frameworks that improve outcomes for all learners. Known for his practical, systems-level approach, Kurtis supports thousands of educators each year in strengthening collaboration, assessment, and responsive instruction. He and his wife, Lorna Hewson, have an upcoming book, Collaborative Team Meetings: The Piece Connecting PLCs and MTSS, focused on helping schools build powerful collaborative team meetings—an essential structure within the Collaborative Response framework that empowers educators and directly impacts student success. Joining us from Lacombe, Alberta, Canada, Kurtis brings both classroom experience and leadership insight to help schools create systems that truly support every learner. He previously joined me on Principal Matters in 2024. You can listen to that episode here. Moving from Groups to Teams: One of the most powerful themes from our conversation was the distinction between working in groups and working as a team. Kurtis reflected on lessons learned from Richard DuFour and explained that many schools operate as collegial groups where people enjoy one another, share ideas, and support each other. While those qualities are valuable, true collaboration requires something deeper. Teams are willing to challenge assumptions, examine practices openly, and engage in conversations that can sometimes feel uncomfortable because they are focused on growth rather than simply maintaining harmony. The schools that make the greatest progress are not necessarily the schools with the most programs. They are the schools that intentionally build trust, safety, and structures that allow adults to learn together. As Kurtis put it, collaboration often means becoming comfortable being uncomfortable because meaningful learning happens when we invite others into our thinking and practice. The Four Layers of Collaboration: Kurtis described four layers of collaboration that exist in effective schools. He emphasized that these layers apply whether a school has five staff members or 150. Each serves a distinct purpose, but together they create a connected system of support. The first layer is Collaborative Planning, where teams focus on curriculum, standards, assessments, and instructional planning. This is where traditional PLC work often lives. The second layer is Collaborative Team Meetings, which Kurtis describes as the missing piece. These meetings focus on instructional challenges, shared problem-solving, and expanding the collective capacity of teachers before concerns escalate to formal intervention processes. The third layer is the School Support Team, which coordinates additional interventions, services, and supports for students who need more than classroom-level responses. The fourth layer is Case Consult, where teams focus on individual students or families whose situations require highly personalized attention and, in some cases, support from outside agencies. What struck me most was Kurtis’s observation that many schools have the first, third, and fourth layers in place but often overlook the second. Without that bridge, teachers can quickly move from classroom concerns to formal referrals without fully leveraging the collective expertise already present within the building. What Makes Collaborative Team Meetings Different?: Traditional meetings often begin with a student. Collaborative team meetings begin with a challenge. Instead of launching into a lengthy discussion about a particular child, the teacher identifies a key issue such as reading comprehension, task completion, classroom engagement, or on-task stamina. The conversation then focuses on strategies rather than stories. This subtle shift changes everything. When teachers discuss the challenge first, they quickly discover that others are experiencing similar issues. The conversation becomes less about diagnosing a single student and more about expanding the team’s toolbox of responses. The result is a culture where educators learn from one another and leave meetings with practical ideas they can implement immediately. A Meeting Structure That Builds Collective Efficacy: One of the most practical parts of our conversation was Kurtis’s explanation of what these meetings actually look like. Several elements are consistently present in effective collaborative team meetings: Begin with celebrations and successes. Ask what contributed to those successes. Identify a specific instructional challenge. Invite colleagues to share strategies and ideas. Commit to one action step before leaving the meeting. Rather than treating success as something to acknowledge briefly before moving on, Kurtis encourages teams to examine it closely. Asking, “What did you do that contributed to that success?” helps educators identify effective practices and share them with colleagues. Over time, this creates stronger collective efficacy because teachers begin to see the impact of their actions more clearly. Why This Matters for School Leaders: I was particularly struck by Kurtis’s observation that collaborative team meetings are not ultimately about meetings at all. They are about creating habits of thinking. The real evidence of success is when teachers begin asking one another for ideas, experimenting with new approaches, and seeking solutions together long after the meeting has ended.As we wrapped up, Kurtis challenged us to think beyond immediate solutions and instead create structures that empower others to respond effectively. Sustainable improvement happens when systems, not just individuals, become stronger. Now It’s Your Turn: As you prepare for a new school year, consider where collaboration is strongest in your school and where it may be breaking down. Are your meetings creating new learning, or are they simply sharing information? Are teachers leaving with practical next steps, or are conversations ending without action? Most importantly, are your systems helping adults learn from one another in ways that ultimately benefit students? Those questions may reveal the next leadership move your school needs to make.

Ron Friedman surveyed six thousand teams expecting to find that the most collaborative ones win. The data said the opposite. Ron is a social psychologist (PhD, University of Rochester), bestselling author of The Best Place to Work and Decoding Greatness, and founder of Super Teams. The headline number: the average team burns eighteen hours a week in meetings and another eleven on email and messages — twenty-nine hours gone before anyone does real work. Super teams aren't smarter. They're just deliberate — fifty percent better at avoiding unnecessary meetings, fifty-four percent better at killing recurring ones.Guest Links: superteams.comHost Links: scalingcoach.com/Q20 | busyisbroken.comMentioned in this episode:PhD Research on CEOsQuick favor: I'm in the middle of my doctoral research, and I need CEOs Here's the question: is there a point where working more hours actually indicates a worse leader?

In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Munir Ghesani, Chief Medical Director at United Theranostics, to explore the cutting edge of personalized cancer treatment and the business of scaling innovative healthcare delivery. Dr. Ghesani discusses his three decades long path in New York's academic medicine scene to leading a fast-growing outpatient theranostics group, detailing why he left academia, what makes theranostics uniquely effective for patients, and how United Theranostics is building a national footprint through a decentralized, community-based model. We'll unpack how their patient-first strategy is shaking up referral dynamics, why community settings are the future of cancer care, and what it takes to recruit medical talent and manage rapid clinical expansion. Plus, Dr. Ghesani reveals the business challenges of clinical trials, payer dynamics, and how a rigorous approach to risk keeps innovation on track. Whether you're in healthcare, investing, or looking to build a next-gen medical services brand, this episode connects patient outcomes, operational strategy, and smart growth in healthcare. Key themes discussed Transition from academia to private theranostics practice Personalized, patient-centered cancer treatment models Patient access and geographic convenience Clinical trials and innovation in care delivery Recruitment and training for high-growth clinic expansion Collaborative physician partnerships vs. pure referral Regulation, quality control, and risk management in trials A Few Key Takeaways 1.Theranostics-Personalized, Precision Medicine: Theranostics is revolutionizing patient care by merging diagnostics and therapeutics to deliver highly personalized treatment plans, particularly in oncology. Unlike traditional, one-size-fits-all treatments, theranostics involves tailored scanning to target therapies specifically to affected areas, ensuring treatments are both targeted and trackable for efficacy 05:07 06:02. 2. Outpatient Model Drives Access and Community Impact: The majority of cancer care occurs outside of major academic centers, with about 80% delivered in community settings. United Theranostics focuses on suburban locations, making advanced treatments more accessible and convenient for patients who would otherwise travel significant distances to academic hubs 08:42 14:13. 3. Dual Audience Strategy: Physicians & Patients: United Theranostics balances building awareness and trust among both referring physicians and patients. While most referrals come from medical professionals, growing patient awareness is generating direct demand, reinforcing the need for strong brand positioning, serving as both a partner to doctors and a recognized consumer brand in its space 10:05. 4. Scaling Without Compromising Quality: With ambitions for 50 clinics in every state within seven years, United Theranostics is scaling through greenfield development and a strong recruitment pipeline from academic institutions. The company prioritizes training, regulatory compliance, and quality control, resisting the urge to rapidly acquire or retrofit existing practices 14:29 15:25. 5. Clinical Trials as a Competitive Advantage: Clinical trial partnerships are fueling United Theranostics' growth and reputation, drawing patients locally and nationally for cutting-edge, not-yet-FDA-approved treatments (covered by drug companies). The organization's comfort with complexity and strong academic roots allow it to handle demanding cases, setting it apart from less equipped competitors 18:28 19:58.

And all that grew from those early years is one of the reasons we started the Living Joyfully Network, so please check that out in the show notes, or go to livingjoyfully.ca and click on the network to join us. But we are so excited to reconnect and see what Halie’s been up to, and so Pam, do you want to get us started today? PAM: Absolutely, absolutely. Hi, Halie, and it is so lovely to see you again. I was hoping, could you share a little bit about you and your family, just to introduce everyone else? HALIE: Sure, so I’m Halie. It’s great to see Pam and Anna again and meet Erika. So, I am 26 now. I’ve always been a radical unschooler, never set foot in a classroom a day in my life. My mom and I traveled a lot when I was younger, lots of cross-country road trips to visit friends and family. We’d have wonderful, rich, deep discussions on those road trips and cover so many topics. It was so much fun learning about people and visiting local bookstores and shops on our travels. When I was seven, we moved to Vermont, my mom and I, to be closer to my grandparents. So, I’ve mostly grown up in northern Vermont, although I lived in North Carolina and Utah when I was little. My grandparents have been super supportive of unschooling. They were a little skeptical at first, but we took them to the Live and Learn conference in 2005, and they got to hear from grown unschoolers, and that really helped them understand what this whole crazy thing was. I’ve just been super close with my mom and my grandparents and living in the woods in northern Vermont, tucked into a little family cabin in the woods. We have the same driveway as my grandparents. And I’ve got horses and miniature donkeys on the property, so it’s just been a lot of fun getting to follow my interests and grow up in nature. ANNA: I love that. ERIKA: That’s beautiful. So, I’m curious, what were your interests when you were growing up, and how did you end up pursuing them? HALIE: Well, two of the biggest passions I’ve had that have lasted the longest have been reading and horses. When I was young, I had a huge collection of toy horses, a very particular brand that was very realistic. That was important to me. And my cousin and I would spend hours and hours, months on end, with these imaginative, in-depth games. All those toy horses had personalities and magic powers and complex relationships, and we processed a lot of world issues through our games. And then when, I guess let me back up, when I was five, we lived in Utah, and my parents and I audited a college course on horsemanship. And so we would go, I have been in a classroom. In my first college course, I was five. We learned about horse breeds, and then we would go for weekly riding lessons. And while we were in Utah, we ended up with a few horses. And we didn’t really know what we were doing, but we had a lot of fun. And then when my mom and I moved to Vermont, we were able to bring Garnet, my older horse, she’s my older horse now. Just one of our horses from Utah came with us. And the year that I was nine, we, together, my mom and I spent the full year driving an hour to our mentor’s barn and learning natural horsemanship. In Utah, we learned traditional horsemanship, which is very power over, dominance, control-based. And that didn’t sit right with us. So, when we moved here and started learning natural horsemanship, it was a whole new paradigm. It was basically the difference between traditional parenting and education and unschooling and peaceful parenting. My mom loved to see those parallels. And my mom’s master’s degree is in early childhood education, family mental health. She’s done tons of research and always knew we were going to be unschooling. And so we would go together every day from like 10am to 7pm and help this lady with her barn chores and work with her horses. And she coached me in kind of unlearning the old paradigm and relearning natural horsemanship with my horse Garnet. Garnet had to unlearn those old power dynamics that she was fighting against and relearn this new relationship built on communication and trust and partnership. So, that was my deep dive into horse training, which then has continued my whole life. Off and on with that particular mentor, then bringing Garnet home, getting my mom a horse, then I got miniature donkeys for my 12th birthday. So that passion bled into what I’m doing now and wove through my time at college as well. The other passion that I’ve always had is reading and how it's connected to fantasy books and therefore medieval history for me. My parents read to me when I was little, my grandfather would read to me for hours on end every night. And it was an interesting conversation about unschooling at that point with my grandparents because I didn’t learn to read independently until I was 11. And they kept getting very nervous and trying to push me and would say, just read the first page. Okay, well, just read the first sentence. Okay, just read the first word. And my mom would have to talk to them and say, back off, trust the process. If you pressure her, it’s just gonna cause more resistance. Just make it fun. Take the pressure off. I have very fond memories of my grandfather reading to me. And then I got to the point where when he was at work, I wanted to know what happened in the story. So I started teaching myself how to read. And he had read me the Harry Potter series twice. And so that ended up being the first series that I picked up on my own. And I’d say in the first book, I was actually reading maybe 20% of it. But I knew the story. And by the last book, I was reading probably 90% of it. ANNA: I love that. That sounds familiar, doesn’t it, Pam? PAM: That was very familiar, because I was reading the series. And as the books came out, we would have a big to do and I’d read and everything. But yes, I couldn’t read all day, which was what Lissy would have loved. And so we picked up the audiobook versions. So she started reading along with the audiobook as well. And that was it, one day, she just came down and said, Hey, I’m reading. I read the first three chapters or whatever, whatever. So, that was a very familiar introduction. And that’s the difference between thinking about learning to read as an end goal, like I need to learn to read or my granddaughter needs to learn to read. And then picking easier readers or whatever to try and help that process along versus when an interest and a need, like your interest and the interest in the Harry Potter books, both of them came together to where it just felt like a time where you wanted to dive in, into it, right? Because sometimes our brains just aren’t ready for it. I feel like when your mom was easing them into, just trust the process, just let things unfold. That doesn’t mean sitting back and doing nothing. Reading the books to people getting the books, finding the books that are super fun and interesting for them. Because you don’t have to be behind in anything. Just because the act of reading is not a skill that someone’s picked up yet. There’s so many other ways to get at that, the stories and information, all those pieces. So yeah, that’s super cool, Halie. ERIKA: I just love the threads, the through lines when you grow up and you can look back and say, hey, this is something I’ve always been interested in. Playing with the toy horses when I was super little. And then that is a through line through your life. And with all that, it just feels like all this space and all this support for you to really dive as deeply as you wanted into your interests. I just love that story. ANNA: Just make it fun, just share that love of reading, share the love of whatever the thing is we have with our kids. And then it’s so beautiful. HALIE: My grandmother, once I learned to read, she was like, well, when are you going to stop reading and go outside again? Because all you want to do is read. ANNA: That’s how it works a lot, isn't it!? HALIE: I’ve always gone all in with whatever I’m doing for a long time. And the love of reading then translated to a love of medieval history and getting really interested in Renaissance fairs and archery and sword fighting. And then I connected that with my love of horses. And I taught myself mounted archery so I can be shooting the bow and arrow while riding my horse. ANNA: I love seeing how the threads weave together, but over the course of a decade. PAM: That space. Yeah, yeah. I’m just gonna leap off that for a second, Halie, just for people listening to get an idea of just how these things flow. We’re going to a Ren Faire this weekend. My son is working at it. He’s doing the jousting and the fighting. He’s a stunt actor. So, that piece is super cool. His interest in stunt acting started way back as a kid. He was always a rough and tumbley kind of person and then started with karate. So, that just wove over the years. And then Lissy’s interest in Harry Potter. Then she got into reading fan fiction. Then there was a fan fiction writer who would use music quotes at the beginning of their chapters, which got her interested in music. She was also interested in photography at the time. And then eventually photography and music have woven together. Now she mostly photographs musicians. I love hearing the stories about all the interests and how they weave together. It’s not like you were interested in horses, so you have to be interested in horses forever. I would look at how it all weaves together and weaves through various interests, right? It’s like interest just almost seems like such a small word. ANNA: But it’s that space and time, right? It’s that space to pursue and find the weaving. I think when we think about a curriculum or if we’re trying to do something for our child’s learning, it’s so limiting, right? Because it’s this one very linear path and you can see through Halie, your story and all of our stories that we’ve talked about so many times, it’s never linear. It’s just all of these different bits weaving together and the web that we create. So yeah, I just, I love hearing about those threads and I think we’ve got more coming. So, I’m excited for what’s next. PAM: Now, a little bit earlier, you mentioned college and you did decide to pursue a bachelor’s and master’s degree. So I was hoping you could share about that experience as well. HALIE: Sure. So, I wanted to go to college because I wanted to get a master’s degree because I wanted letters after my name. And part of that was that my parents both have higher degrees. They didn’t push it. But I also felt like I wanted to prove to the world that unschooling worked, which is maybe not the best way to go into that. But I did not want to go to a traditional college. I was very against that. It did not feel aligned with how I learn or what I wanted to do at all. And so I was really thinking about it for a couple of years. And my mom knew of Goddard College, which happened to be an hour and a half from us. And they were like unschooling for college. They were entirely self-directed, self-designed, low residency. So we would go for a week at the start of the semester, work with our small advising group, like four to eight students of all different ages and interests, with an advisor. And through that process, create our study plan. There were no tests and no grades. It was all about communicating with your advisor, writing things, getting really detailed feedback. And then you would write a self-evaluation and your advisor would write a narrative evaluation at the end of the semester. So we went to Goddard for an open house the same day that we went to a college fair, and it was a very stark difference. And I immediately knew I was home when I got to Goddard. The people were lovely, very social justice oriented. My cousin, who was living with us at the time, she and I went to Goddard together. And it was a nice kind of buffer. We could support each other as we expanded out a little bit more into the world. So, Goddard was really special. I got my four-year undergraduate degree there, graduated in the fall of 2022. I took a year off and then I went back with the plan to get a two-year master’s program. And I was a year in when Goddard closed, which was super, super sad. I think largely it was for financial reasons. They had a partnership with Prescott College out in Arizona that helped take Goddard students and continue their path and help them graduate. So, I completed my master’s a year ago. And yeah, it was really special. I think we need more schools like Goddard. I started my first semester with something that I was comfortable with, which was horsemanship. And then I moved away from that for the middle semesters and explored everything from creative writing to astrophysics. And then the way Goddard worked was they wanted you to explore lots of different things for the first three years and then hone in on a big senior study project that would be like your major. And so I came back around to partnership-based horse training, horse psychology, and I ended up getting a young horse, Chantilly Lace. She was only 14 months old, a little Arabian filly, and she was my senior study. Training her for that first year and doing a lot of research and journaling and writing about horsemanship in general, and particularly natural horsemanship. So, that was my undergraduate senior study. And then part of that senior study, I was learning about equine-assisted psychotherapy. And a big part of our conversations, between me and my mom, growing up have been psychology and sociology and trauma-informed care and social emotional learning. And so, I was researching equine-assisted psychotherapy and I decided I didn’t want to be a therapist, but I did speak that language and I did see the value in working with horses to develop interpersonal skills. So, I went back for my master’s with this focus of can I start a business to support people through activities with the horses? And that was my master’s program. So my master’s was also self-designed equine-assisted learning and business design. ANNA: Nice. So cool. I think it is really interesting. I didn’t know that Goddard had closed. I was familiar with it before, but I didn’t know that it was closed. So that is sad. But I love how you were able to take all these different pieces and that they really encouraged that and then weave it together to find this path that felt good in that moment. I love that. And so that kind of leads into my question, which I’m super excited about, because I also am very into horses and have been since I was little and natural horsemanship and all the things involved with just that beautiful relationship and how it translates so beautifully to humans as well. And so you have started a business called Growing Edge Equine-imity. I’m curious, what made you want to start that business? Can you tell us a little bit about your vision for it? Just a little bit about how that it sounded like that really started in your master’s program, thinking, OK, I want this business. And so what that looked like, where you are now, and what your hopes are for it. HALIE: Yeah. It’s been a year since I technically started the business and it’s feeling like a really exciting point in time. Things are beginning to come together. So, Growing Edge Equine-imity. I guess I’ll start with the name. I wanted it to be Growing Edge because it’s about personal development and finding your growth edge, having a growth mindset. And I wanted “growing” to show it’s a process. It continues. And my mom, I’ve got to give her credit for the equine-imity part of combining equine and equanimity. She thought she was very clever with that. I love it. So it’s an equine-assisted personal and professional development business. And the goal is to empower parents and educators in understanding self-directed education and shifting adult youth relationships from power over to power with. And I think a lot of that is about reflecting on how us as adults were raised and what kind of cultural conditioning we’ve received and unpacking that and really thinking about what are our values and what are our hopes for our children. What kinds of baggage do we need to unpack, what conversations do we need to have, and what skills to develop so that we can show up and support the children in the way that we want to. It doesn’t have to be about unschooling per se, but since that’s my experience, I really wanted to start there combining my love of horses, my unschooling experience, and the fact that this psychology and sociology has been so interwoven into my life. So, the business was really a way of pulling these threads together in a way that I could hopefully make a living while also supporting people and making a difference in the world in a way that’s really fun and meaningful to me and brings my personal passions together. So that was the goal of the business. ANNA: Wow. PAM: I love the way. I feel like. I was just going to say I love the way the threads all weave together, right? That, to me, that’s the beautiful piece, like Anna was talking about before, the space and time to really discover these various threads and then finding and exploring ways to weave them together so that it’s not like, okay, I have to choose one now and ignore the other things that I’m interested in, at least for a while I can pursue this one thing. And it is really beautiful the way you’ve been able to find those pieces and then bring those into your masters. And through that lens, because you had said you were doing some business stuff too in your masters as well, right? So just weaving all those pieces together. I love that so much. ANNA: Yeah. I was just going to say it too, very similarly, but I feel like the best ideas and the ideas that change the world are that, right? It’s all the pieces, it’s bringing in these passion-driven pieces and these explorations. I am super excited about what you’re putting out into the world. And I think so many people will be drawn to it because it really hits so many notes for people. And I think just your passion and love for it is also just going to continue to attract things. I’m excited about your journey with that. ERIKA: Yeah, it’s so beautiful. And I love contrasting that with, if you get that tunnel vision of, I’ve become an adult, I've got to just go get a job. I have to make money and kind of losing parts of yourself. Which I feel like a lot of people do in our culture. I just love the creativity and the intention and thoughtfulness that you’re putting into your path where it’s like, no, I can make a difference and I can continue to explore my passions and there’s value to this, all of these interests. It’s so much more personal and it’s so connected, which I think then makes the work really land, for other people. So yeah, that’s so beautiful. PAM: I was just going to add, I happened to be at an extended family picnic last weekend, a few days ago. And somebody, of course, has been asking what my kids were up to. And I explained what they were doing. And they looked at me and said, they’re just doing the stuff they like to do, but as adults. And I was just like, yeah, it doesn’t have to be just what you were saying, Erika. Now I need to get a job. Those don’t have to be separate things, right? We really can weave them together so beautifully. ANNA: From the start, because I feel like the piece that I see in the work that I do with people is that in their 40s, they’re going, wait a minute. And they’re trying to re-tap into those feelings from when they were younger and had these driving passions and had these visions for what they wanted to be in the world and do in the world. But like you said, Erika, they just set it aside because, oh, okay, it has to look like this. And so I do think this is one of the gifts of unschooling is that you really can have a head start on that, on really understanding yourself, self-awareness, just all of those pieces that you don’t have to unlearn later. ERIKA: It feels like we have taken the interest seriously all along, not as this is a little side thing that if you have enough time, you can squeeze into your life. It’s like, no, if you’re able to really dive in and pursue your interests, then you’ll actually be able to use them in a meaningful way for your whole life. It just makes such a difference because people are so different. There isn’t one right path to being an adult and working. And so, yeah, I just love that so much. And I know everyone loves hearing these conversations with grown unschoolers. I know people will be excited to hear what you’ve learned along the way. So my question is, what piece of advice would you like to share with unschooling parents who are just starting out on the unschooling journey? HALIE: That is a good question. How much time do we have? I mean, I think trust is the most important. I think trusting yourself and your own instincts and also trusting your children and that they also know what’s best for them. I think with trusting your instincts, being able to separate what’s actually your instinct and what’s cultural conditioning and being able to figure out where the difference is and trust your instincts and critically analyze what the cultural messaging is. And then have real authentic conversations with your children so that you can ask them what they need and you can be partners and be on the same team. I was thinking about this this morning and I have a little flow chart in my head. If you think about what’s your end goal, what’s your why? Why are you doing this? Why does it matter? Where do you want your children to be as young adults? And then backwards map it and think about what are the steps to get there. In my mind, if the end goal is collaboration between you and your children in this journey of life, then what does that collaboration need? And I think it needs trust and communication. And trust, for me anyways, emotional trust means congruence. So, your inner experience and your outer portrayal need to be aligned in a way that’s not dumping your emotions and needs on everybody around you, but being authentic and honest with what you’re feeling and who you are. And so part of getting to this point of healthy congruence, which is really what the horses help you with too, because horses live in the moment and are totally authentic and respond to that congruence. But to get there, you need this self-responsibility aspect and this self-compassion aspect of also doing what you need to support yourself and give yourself grace for when you’re not perfect, because no one’s ever perfect. And then also the communication aspect of learning how to communicate with your teammates, if that’s your friends, your family, your children, and how to work through conflict. There are obviously tons of resources out there. We’ve particularly been drawn towards nonviolent communication with Marshall Rosenberg and Ross Green’s Collaborative and Proactive Solutions. But the other concept I wanted to mention is the idea of rupture and repair in a relationship. You’re going to run into dings, and that’s an opportunity to literally practice resilience. Because if you can come back in a calm time and address those issues, your relationship grows stronger because of that. And again, there is no real perfection, which drives me crazy. I’m a person who wants to know what’s perfect and then wants to meet that standard. The thing that I’ve had to realize is not only are we incapable of being perfect 100% of the time, but the definition of perfect is fluid between moment to moment and person to person. And so really it’s about showing up with full presence and having compassion for yourself and others and being willing to have real, authentic conversations and go back and address things when things feel sticky. ERIKA: That’s awesome. I feel like you’ve talked about a lot of the things that we have recently been talking about too, just about paradigm shifts in parenting. And I think that is so huge about realizing we can’t be perfect. And that in fact, those moments where we are imperfect are the perfect time to then be building trust in our relationships. That just takes so much pressure off of me as a parent, but it also, it’s true. I’ve seen it happen for us. And we can’t be perfect, but when we can repair, we’re all stronger. We all have this shared experience with each other that we can build on for the next time. So I loved those answers, Halie. ANNA: Oh my gosh. So, so much. And I love that idea that perfect is fluid because I think all of us can get caught up in that, wanting to do the best job, the right thing, that piece. But it is, the people are different idea that we talk about a lot. It is different in every situation. And those are the perfect opportunities to learn and grow and make that repair and deepen the relationship. And so I think it is helpful for parents to realize that this is not about doing X thing perfectly. It really is just about the presence. And so I loved that, that kind of an opposite of perfect is letting it go to just being present, being present, that’s the work that we can do to show up for the people in our lives, to learn about ourselves, to learn about each other. And so, yeah, I just thought that was so beautiful. Thank you. PAM: That presence is really how we can learn and navigate that moment. Like being truly present helps us see the next baby step of repair, right? It’s hard to have a rupture, then come up with this whole repair plan and then bring it back and do the thing, right? It really is a team effort, it’s in that presence and that trust. Their trust in us, to hear us as we come and approach a repair, but also our trust and our developing trust with experience just in the process itself. Because for me, again, I’m another one who wants the right answer, just tell me what to do, tell me how to fix it, and I’ll do it. But time and again, through experience, just showing up and having those authentic conversations leads all of us into the way to execute in the right word, but for the repair to happen, right? And it’s not a one and done. I can see so many people, I want to have this repair conversation and be done. And now we’re all back to normal, right? But that fluidity of perfection, that fluidity of life, it’s just showing up again and again and being present and being open and curious and trust. And yeah, that was all beautiful. ERIKA: I liked how you said that there’s resources for this too, though, because I feel like so many of us as parents, we did not grow up with this being modeled. What does validation look like? What does this kind of communication look like? But there are resources out there. So we can learn and just try things out with our family. So yeah, I loved that point as well. ANNA: Yeah, for sure. Well, Halie, thank you so much for joining us. It was just such a treat. And I just feel like we will definitely be staying in touch. I feel like we’ll see you again down the road because I think there’s just so much to what you’re doing and all that you’re putting out into the world. That’s so beautiful. And I want to thank everybody for listening. And we hope that you enjoyed this conversation. It was just so great to catch up with Halie. And I know, like Erika said, people really enjoy hearing from grown unschoolers. And sometimes we’re like, it’s not about a product or it’s not one path. Halie’s path is her own. But I think it does show this weaving in of these different pieces, these threads and how it can look so different than what the traditional paths are. I do hope you’ll also check out Halie’s website, which is growingedgeequineimity.com. But we’ll also put it in the show notes so you can find it there. And before we go, I want to invite everyone to join us at the Living Joyful Network.

Collaborative partners Lindsey Kraft and Ben Folds take us behind the scenes of their new musical project, We've Been Here Before, currently running at the SoHo Playhouse. Lindsey shares how picking up the piano at age thirty-nine led to an outpouring of songs that revealed truths about her life before she could fully articulate them in prose. Ben explains why he was drawn to the show as producer, music director, and on-stage performer, diving into his philosophy that genuine art must pass a fundamental pass-fail test of sheer necessity. They discuss building work from the ground up, the courage required to reinvent oneself, and why audiences respond so intensely to vulnerable, unvarnished storytelling on an intimate stage. The conversation takes plenty of unexpected, hilarious, and thoughtful turns along the way. Lindsey recalls her brief junior high basketball career that came to a swift end after getting guarded on the court by future WNBA legend Sue Bird, as well as her early acting gigs on television shows like Southland and Grace and Frankie. Ben offers a refreshing, counterintuitive breakdown of imposter syndrome, explaining why he considers it a self-centered burden placed on the audience rather than a mark of true humility. The duo also touches on musical psychology, orchestrating violin lines to act as live dramatic characters, and Ben finding his key theatrical moment on stage playing the triangle for a telephone ring. Lindsey Kraft is an actor, writer, and composer known for her screen roles in Grace and Frankie, Getting On, and The Big Bang Theory, alongside her stage playwriting work on Wedding Bash. Ben Folds is an acclaimed singer, songwriter, producer, author, and former frontman of the band Ben Folds Five who has composed for film, television, and major symphonies around the world. On We've Been Here Before, Lindsey serves as writer and star, with Ben producing, music directing, and performing on stage.

I interviewed Pei-ying Lin about Happy Shadow on Sunday, August 31, 2025 at Venice Immersive in Venice, Italy. Here is the story synopsis for Happy Shadow: "Joey believed that happiness was lost to her forever as she grew up. Her shadow, a constant companion, yearned to bring joy back into her life but felt helpless. Nothing changed until the player stumbled into Joey's inner world through her diary while chasing butterflies. With Dusty, a whimsical dust elf, the player collaborates with Joey's shadow, using their own shadow to solve puzzles. Together, the player helps Joey confront her deepest fears and defeat the monster lurking within. In Happy Shadow, the player joins Joey's shadow on an interactive journey, experiencing her confusion and struggles firsthand, and ultimately rediscovering the pure happiness she once knew." Here are the contextual domains that are explored: Body and Identity [1] as a vehicle to connect to the Life and Vitality [1] within the experience of a home environment [4]. Here is the Elemental Center of Gravity: 1st Center of Gravity of Air Element / Mental and Social Presence: Multi-player game where you solve puzzles with other people, but within the context of a story.2nd Center of Gravity of Fire Element / Active Presence: Embodied interactions where you have to make different shapes to progress the story, so very much having interaction-gated story experience.3rd Center of Gravity of Earth Element / Environmental and Embodied Presence: Embodied Actions, and the piece is a VR CGI and animation piece, that's primarily in the vein of shadow puppets that you see the characters play out the drama on a bedroom wall4th Center of Gravity of Water Element / Emotional Presence: Music, and a very metaphorical story. Sometimes a player would have difficulty solving a spatial puzzle, which would delay the unfolding of the experience for everyone Archetypal Themes and Character Explored: Self, identity, aliveness, vitality Artist Statement: "This immersive VR interactive project was inspired by Rene Liu's song To My 15-Year-Old Self during its second year of development. I have always believed that the body grants freedom to the soul — allowing us to express emotions purely through physical experience. Yet as we grow older, consumed by endless to-do lists and distant ideals, we tend to forget the simple happiness that once came so naturally. We dance, we paint, we create — simply because it makes us feel alive. This project is dedicated to myself, and to all the hardworking souls around me, as a gentle reminder that what we have, right now, is already enough." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4-I_cHTsVEc This is a listener-supported podcast through the Voices of VR Patreon.
