What if the secret to rediscovering your creativity, your empathy, and even your joy was something you were born with—but lost along the way? In this episode, bestselling author Laura Munson talks about her newest book, The Wild Why, and the journey back to wonder. From the forests of Montana to ancient stone circles in Ireland, Laura's personal stories and teachings invite us to pause, reflect, and reconnect with our inner voice. She shares the truth behind our creative blocks and the myth that we're "not creative"—stories we've absorbed over time but don't have to believe. We also explore why wonder matters, not just for personal fulfillment but for building empathy and a more compassionate society. Laura opens up about her own challenges, including divorce and life transitions, and how they shaped her understanding of inner kindness, creativity, and self-expression. Whether you're juggling work, parenting, or just trying to get through the day, The Wild Why offers a compassionate call to stop in the moment, take a breath, and ask “what if?” again. #TheWildWhy #LauraMunson #BooksThatMakeYou #SelfHelp #Creativity #WritingLife #Wonder

Hey there, welcome to another thrilling episode of True Crimes Against Wine! In this spooky season special, we're diving into the hypothetical chaos of The Purge. With a mix of humor and strategy, we chat about potential self-defense weapons and the hilarity of having to work as a DoorDasher during such a wild event. From debating the merits of a trusty rake versus a solid two-by-four, to the ridiculous concept of leaving 'please take one' notes during the purge, this episode is all about survival with a twist. And, of course, we question why people aren't using the Purge to create some positive societal change. Join us for a laugh as we explore these outrageous scenarios, debate obscure questions, and, as always, share a drink while keeping it real. Whether you're here for the giggles or the wine, there's something in this episode for everyone. Cheers, and happy spooky season!

In this conversation, Melissa opens up about her journey with long COVID, a transformative experience that has reshaped her identity as a person, creative, dancer, and storyteller. She reflects on how the illness has woven itself into the fabric of her life, and how it brought up fear, loss, grief, anger... and also, its own kind of medicine. About Melissa Before the pandemic, Melissa Mansfield was a marketing professional who spent her off hours producing her passion project - a video series about traveling the world through dance, in which she lived abroad learning the iconic dances of places like Havana and Buenos Aires. In 2022, after a two-year hiatus, she traveled to South America to produce a new season, focusing on Cali, Colombia - the “Salsa Capital of the World”. Ten days into her trip, she contracted covid for the first time. This began a two-year journey of illness, loss, grief and - ultimately - recovery. She is now navigating a new way of being a traveler, storyteller and dancer - forever changed by her long covid experience. Follow her on Instagram About me Hello, I'm Pascale!

As a parent of a neurodivergent child, you've probably had to let go of the traditional timelines we're often told our kids should follow, especially when it comes to school milestones. And that requires a big adjustment for us as parents! But what if we all took a step back and focused more on slowing down? That's exactly what my guest today, educator and author Leslie Martino, encourages us to do. With over twenty years of experience as a teacher, homeschooler, and adjunct lecturer, Leslie has a deep passion for helping parents and educators embrace a slower, more child-directed approach to learning. She homeschools her four children and also works as an educational consultant and parent coach, and her new book, The Joy of Slow: Restoring Wonder and Balance to Homeschool Learning, is a powerful guide to this philosophy. In this conversation, we dive into how slowing down in education leads to deeper understanding and makes space for joyful, spontaneous learning. Leslie shares how creating a learning environment that values curiosity and playfulness—not just during structured learning times, but throughout the day—can foster lifelong learners. We also talk about the importance of connection and relationships in both parenting and education, and how that connection is at the heart of nurturing children who love to learn. Even if you're not homeschooling, I promise you'll take away so much from this episode.   About Leslie Martino Leslie Martino has over twenty years of experience teaching—as an elementary school teacher, a home educator, and an adjunct lecturer for graduate courses focused on the role of the teacher in supporting children's individual work preferences. She homeschools her four children and works as an educational consultant, writing curricula, training teachers, and coaching parents to approach learning in an interest-based and child-directed way. She is a speaker on topics of education and motherhood and is also a contributing writer for the Wild + Free homeschooling community.   Things you'll learn from this episode Why it's critical that parents create a learning environment that values curiosity How slowing down in education leads to deeper understanding and makes room for learning to be a joyful and meaningful process? How spontaneity in learning fosters natural responses and engagement, and how to “build in” room for spontaneity in everyday life Why playfulness essential in both parenting and education, and ways to ensure education is an exploratory rather than a linear process Why connection and relationship is at the heart of effective education and fostering humans who truly become lifelong learners   Resources mentioned Leslie Martino's website The Joy of Slow: Restoring Wonder and Balance to Homeschool Learning by Leslie Martino Leslie Martino on Instagram The Call of the Wild and Free: Reclaiming the Wonder in Your Child's Education, A New Way to Homeschool by Ainsley Arment Bored and Brilliant: How Spacing Out Can Unlock Your Most Productive and Creative Self by Manoush Zomorodi Angela Sizer and Maren Goerss on Homeschooling & Thinking Differently About Learning (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Think Differently About Learning: A Homeschool Where Parents and Children Thrive by Angela Sizer and Maren Goerss Becoming a Critical Thinker: A Workbook to Help Students Think Well in an Age of Disinformation by Julie Bogart Julie Bogart on Helping Kids Become Critical Thinkers (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards   Learn more about your ad choices.

For the past few weeks, maybe even the past month or so, I've been on sort of an Ethan Hawke deep dive. I like Ethan Hawke as an actor and while I haven't seen everything he's ever done, I really like Training Day and I would probably put Dead Poets Society and Gattaca in my top 20 — actually, maybe top 30. I know some people find him pretentious, but whenever I've seen him interviewed, he always seemed like a good guy. A few years ago, he did a TED Talk called Give Yourself Permission to be Creative that popped up in my feed recently, and watching it again reminded me how much I resonate with a lot of the same ideas he has about creativity. For example, one of the first things he says in the talk is “…a lot of people really struggle to give themselves permission to be creative, and reasonably so, we're all a little suspect of our own talent.” I think we've all felt the same way at one point or another in our lives. I know I have. Whether it's Imposter Syndrome or the nagging voice of Resistance, occasionally doubting our own talents and gifts seems to be par for the course when trying to live a creative life — and that's before we even get to purpose, which is a completely different animal.If you enjoyed this Iteration, I would love it if you would share it with a friend or two. And if it resonated with you on some level, I'd love to know why.

Today, I'm chatting with Susan Victoria Becher, (a lovely former client of mine!) who is a poet, writer, singer/songwriter, and overall creative being. She enjoys broadening her skillset by trying new things and encouraging others to do the same. She is publishing her YA novel entitled 'Penn and Ava' this summer, with a publishing date set for July 23rd. She is also in the process of writing and recording an album. And she is currently in graduate school to become a Licensed Professional Counselor and plans to graduate in December of 2025. During our conversation, we explore the creative process of publishing a book and recording an album, chat about the healing power of art, dive into the courage of making big life changes and finding communities that truly support us, and discuss small steps to navigate the vulnerable process of sharing our art with the world. Susan is currently running a crowdfunding campaign to support the publishing of her YA novel.

I'm back with the second solo episode of the season and let me just say-- It is STRAIGHT FIRE. Fully downloaded from the divine, I'd say :) I speak about the incredible shifts currently happening in my life, from my husband's retirement to finally convincing my mom to move into supported living. (Can you feel that ENORMOUS sigh of relief?!) It all happened at the exact same moment in time. WILD. I talk about finding the joy inside the hard, alchemizing the pain, and trusting in myself to always be able to support my wellbeing no matter what comes my way. And above all, the ability to set a positive intention and hold that vision. Intentionality is the key to living an inspired life.  Find all the mantras and affirmations I use throughout this episode in my Etsy Shop or on my website. Supporting the podcast can look like all sorts of things like buying my art, leaving a review, subscribing to the podcast, Dming, liking and commenting on Instagram, or just telling a friend about the work I'm putting out into the world.  Every bit helps because I believe we all have a Creative Self, and the more we learn about, pour into and tend to that side of us, the happier we will be.

As we near the end of this calendar year, there appears to be a mad dash to be rid of 2023.   My own preference though is more like  "feeling my way" into this Mercury retrograde cycle. The words, "Listen to the Wisdom of Your (Our)Heart" is echoing in my mind.Mercury is the planet that deals with all forms of communication.  The kernel of wisdom flowing through my awareness as I wrote and recorded this episode,  was essentially one thought.  Is there something important and valued, that will travel with each of us from this year?This thought really caught my attention.  On social media, television, and across the internet in general,  everything is centered around,  get a word,  journal an intention, or buy  something new for  2024. My question is,  what if the past 3 years  actually hold  a powerful message about how to move into 2024 with greater ease,  good feeling,  deeper self-understanding, and with an overall sense of your own wondrous and unique self. What I am suggesting  is that we embrace Mercury in Capricorn, as it brings us to the Sacred Solstice  through acceptance of our soul- life choices.    What this means is the acceptance  of being exactly where you are meant to be in every moment, doing  precisely what you are here for. From a personal perspective,  I received a jolt of energy that I need to review  the various classes and courses, that have been waiting for my time and attention. I have to confess, that I have a number of them waiting for me.   By becoming mindful,  reflective, and listening to my "inner muse" I realize 2024 will be a lot more emotionally satisfying and  creatively liberating.   What I have discerned from this Mercury message  is the need to listen to our hearts before we think,  speak or take action.   The major step is being attuned and  listening  to your own self-talk.  Yes, we are surrounded by the outer world, and many voices.  This is the time though to get quiet, and listen to what you want for your life.  This could be the best gift you can give yourself for moving into 2024.  What I am taking into 2024 is a shifting of my  vibrational frequency.  I'm giving myself gifts of commitment,  completion and  finishing things. I am ready to celebrate the power of transforming, embracing and being inspired by the wisdom of my heart. Are you ready to listen to Your Heart?I am proud to announce my new offering as a Certified Creative Depth Coach. As a Creative Depth Coach, I provide guidance, support and soul insights on how to discover, explore and navigate your life by recognizing your magnificent "Creative Genius". By learning to walk in your own "Light" you become able to move through your life with deep awareness, greater ease and success.Some of my modalities and Soul tools are "Art as Process" EFT Tapping, Sound and Music for Inner Journeying , using the wisdom of Astrology, Tarot, Oracle and Numerology.
