According to the 19th century writer John Ruskin, “The measure of any great civilization is its cities; and the measure of a city's greatness is to be found in the quality of its public spaces- its parkland and squares.” In this episode of ON CITIES, host Carie Penabad will speak with Meg Daly and Isabel Castilla about the role of contemporary public space in America. High quality public space is vital for the social life of a community, the economic competitiveness and environmental performance of a city and the overall health and well-being of its population. Yet despite these virtues, the development of public space in America is increasingly challenged due to the surge of privatization and the rise of land costs in urban centers throughout the country. Castilla and Daly will share the success story of The Underline project, a new 10-mile linear park that is transforming the land below Miami's elevated Metro rail into a linear park, urban trail and public art destination. When complete, the project will provide 120 areas of new public space for the city, radically transforming the citizen's relationship to nature, transportation and recreation.

Today, I am thrilled to have my friend Meg Daly as my guest. Meg is a speaker, podcast host, and the founder of the Live More Drink Less 30 Day Reset. She specializes in helping gray area drinkers and empaths discover ways to find more calm in their every day lives.In this episode, Meg shares her personal journey of learning to face her emotions head-on, rather than running away from them. We explore the common compulsion to escape from heavy feelings and emotions through various coping mechanisms, such as alcohol, food, shopping, and sex. Meg emphasizes the importance of allowing emotions to simply "be" - recognizing them, naming them, and letting them pass through.Highlights:Embracing emotions: Why acknowledging and sitting with our emotions, rather than running away from them, is a key component of healing and personal growth.The power of choice: Recognizing our ability to decide how we want to feel and taking charge of our emotional well-being, even in the most difficult circumstances. Change and mourning: Understanding that change is a natural part of life and allowing ourselves to grieve and process the emotions that come with it. Asking ourselves the right questions: Learning to check in with ourselves and determine what we need in the moment to move forward and create a more fulfilling life. Join me for this deeply insightful and empowering conversation as Meg shares her wisdom on navigating emotions, embracing our personal power, and living a more balanced and fulfilling life. Links:https://megkdaly.com/https://www.facebook.com/groups/2710231689214768https://megkdaly.com/category/podcast/Oh, and by the way, if you didn't know, I have an awesome course called Creating Healthy Boundaries; it's affordable, easy to follow, and will make a big difference in how you feel.

Do you often wonder what your life would be like without alcohol? Do you hate the all-or-nothing mentality surrounding drinking? Being sober curious means literally, choosing to question or get curious about every impulse, expectation, and invitation to drink instead of mindlessly going along with the dominant drinking culture. Sober curiosity means something different to every individual, making it an inclusive cultural movement. It's living in the gray area. Today's guest is Meg Daly, certified coach, former teacher, and founder of the Live More, Drink Less Community.

As Meg Daly confronted two broken arms challenging her mobility, she found herself riding the Metrorail and reflecting on Miami's lack of pedestrian infrastructure and park space.  Turning to her father and partner, Parker Thomson, they formed a coalition and executed on a plan to fund a $140 million linear park that will span 10 miles, now named the Underline.In this episode, Daly opens up about the genesis of that project, how she got it funded, and mobilized the community to enhance connectivity in the city.  She, Azhena, Ehrlich and Hoffman also discuss the powerful role disruption can play in redefining our infrastructure & public spaces.Daly challenges us with a call to civic engagement, imploring us to lead movements that will change how we interact with our cities.  Or, as she put it in the interview, “don't just applaud from the sidelines.”

Miami's first-ever linear park project is not one to be missed. You may have spotted this park while strolling through Brickell, this unparalleled project is redefining the outdoor experience here in the city (2:30). The Underline is revolutionizing the land below Miami's Metrorail system and converting the space into an interconnecting ten-mile linear park, urban trail, and public art destination (5:29). The ten-mile space is set to span from its completed phase one located in Brickell Station, reaching the third and final phase for the last stop on Miami's Metrorail, the Dadeland South station (12:29). Phase two of construction has recently begun and founder Meg Daly joins us in this episode to discuss the ongoing project and what this means for our community.  Host: Omar De Windt Producer: Veronica Aizpurua Follow: Spotify / Apple Podcasts / YouTube

Seven years ago, Meg Daly had a crazy idea. With two broken arms from a recent bike accident and a new lens for how she looked at the world, Meg walked below Miami's Metrorail and saw nothing but potential. Space that to anyone else would be considered dirty, dangerous, and not worth a second look, but Meg saw an opportunity for a chance to bring more green into Miami - specifically in an underutilized space. Her vision slowly started to come to life in 2014, and today https://www.theunderline.org/ (The Underline) is open to the public.

Meg Daly, professor of evolution, ecology and organismal biology, studies animal systematics and ecology and serves as associate dean of undergraduate education. She's particularly interested in studying how and why marine animals live where they do, most recently looking at sea anemones that live in temperate marine intertidal ecosystems. She shares her research with David Staley on this week's Voices of Excellence

In today's episode of The Real State, we explore the intersection of Real Estate and public spaces and how Miami innovators and leaders have transformed the unused space beneath the Metrorail into a community engagement platform. We are thrilled to have as our guest, Meg Daly, CEO/President of Friends of The Underline, Chairwoman of The Underline Conservancy, and a board member of the Miami-Dade Transportation Trust.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Underline, a 10-mile linear park, urban trail and public arts destination, will meander from the Miami River to Dadeland South under the Miami Metrorail. With its first section, "Brickell Backyard" newly opened, Meg Daly, Founder and President of Friends of the Underline, talks with Lea about Miami's past, present and future.-- Lea and Meg both grew up in  the Miami area a generation apart. Lea remembers Miami Beach of the past 50 years: no air conditioning, the airport not much more than a hangar, mosquitos sprayed from above with DDT, and much more.-- Meg tells of growing up in an activist family in the Miami suburb of Coral Gables, in a vintage Spanish-style house. Her family came from Boston in 1960 and was active in keeping the gorgeous Biltmore Hotel from being destroyed. -- At the beginning of the Millennium, when Miami still did not have a cultural center, Meg's father, Parker Thompson, who would later help plan The Underline, was involved in developing the Arsht Performing Arts center. It influenced an arts scene including museums, Art Basel, Wynwood, and new neighborhoods designed by great architects, spawning great restaurants.-- Along with progress came heavy traffic  -- and that is where The Underline comes in, bringing us a 10-mile linear park by 2025, leading to a network of parks and trails with native plants, butterflies,  places to connect --"it equals life!"-- Meg talks about the first section completed, "Brickell Backyard," from the Miami River through Brickell Village.-- And the four thousand new trees and green design will help Miami get through climate change.And last, Meg remembers how she conceived of The Underline --combining past, present and future in an engrossing memory._____Meg Daly is a full-time volunteer, Founder and President of Friends of The Underline,  transforming the underutilized land below Miami’s Metrorail into a 120-acre linear park, urban trail and public art destination spanning 10-miles in the urban core.

How does someone turn a really big idea into reality and transforms a city? Just ask Friends of The Underline founder and president, Meg Daly.The Underline is Miami's newest park below the Metrorail, transforming a 10-mile linear park, biking and jogging trail, and outdoor art gallery.Eight years ago, after Daly broke an arm and couldn't drive to her physical therapy appointments, she started taking the train and walking under the tracks. At the time, the path was neglected, dirty, and unwelcoming. Daly recognized that this area could be a valuable part of the city and started advocating for its transformation, working with partners to raise $120 million (to date) for the construction of a new park inspired in part by the High Line in New York.We talk about what started this unique project of Friends of The Underline and how to sell a really big idea.Podcast show notes available here:https://themiamiguide.com/show12More info about Friends of The Underline:Website: https://www.theunderline.orgInstagram: @theunderlinemia

Enjoy this episode My conversation with Meg Daly is genuinely inspiring. After listening, I’m sure you will be encouraged as well as getting your MOJO back. Meet Meg Daly and get your MOJO How do you move from “wanting” to “being?” For me, the journey from one state to the other is the essence of truly living. I know exactly what it’s like to wrestle with the often confusing process of “becoming.” Finding my own story amidst what I thought I (https://www.localfirstpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Meg-Daly-home-page.jpg) “should” do or “should” be were often the predominant roadblocks in my life.  Embracing my own “story” has led me to being of service to others who feel trapped in everyone else’s agenda and blocked from breaking free into their own life story. Professionally I’ve enjoyed 20 years of corporate leadership experience where I honed the skill of tapping into the strengths and energy of others to support them in reaching the next level of performance. I’m passionate about helping people harness their unique gifts in order to effectively create happier lives with their work teams…and home teams as well! By cultivating true self-acceptance and self-possession, my clients are able to shift powerfully from “I want_______” all the way over to “I am experiencing_______.” I am a writer, teacher, and guide for individuals and companies desiring an energy boost out of pushing/pulling/striving and into thriving. My work is based on the simple process of turning down the negative volume in our minds and tuning into our imagination and numerous gifts. When we begin to feel the way we want to feel on a consistent basis, we find the work we are here to do occurs naturally and with ease. 5 Key Points: Tell the truth to yourself Tune into what is that you desire Tap into the power of your imagination Create the space needed in your life Connect with others, ask for support   Sponsors Love the podcast? When you sign up for listener support (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?token=xfv6L9gGNq_0Bn70fUWITM5Gks64Z4wPgQXxQIJWseTkRGIve6Cu7jfPRM1iunHhiHtcKW&country.x=US&locale.x=US) , you’re basically buying me a coffee each month.

After self-proclaimed native, Meg Daly, broke both of her elbows in a biking accident and was forced to slow down and smell the asphalt on her walking commute to physical therapy, she got a crazy idea.  Transform the unused space underneath the Metrorail into a 10 mile linear park, urban trail and living art destination called, The Underline.  You might say it's Miami's response or ode to New York's immensely popular, The High Line, flipped upside down. In this interview, we talk about who was the first person she told about her "crazy idea" and how she went from never having been involved in the community to overseeing a $120 million project and what the future holds for creative public spaces in Miami.  We are very excited about The Underline, the business opportunities and jobs it will create, the art and culture it will invite people to interact with and once you know more about this highly anticipated project, you will be too. We hope you enjoy the conversation, Jeanette + Alex For behind the scenes show notes, photos and more visit www.plantedinmiami.com Follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Pinterest @plantedinmiami

After breaking both her arms in a bicycling accident, Meg Daly was forced to explore Miami without a car - Something that Miami is not designed for!   One day, while walking in the shade under Metrorail, she envisioned a safe, beautiful space for walking, biking, and gathering. Her vision is being realized as The Underline, a 10 mile linear park, urban trail, and living art destination that will link to other trails in the Miami area.    Step-by-step Meg has assembled an army of almost 1,000 volunteers and has attracted government, foundation, and private partners. She now feels connected to her city and community in ways that she never thought possible, and is leading Miami to a better future!    Meg has lived in Miami for most of her life and has been married for 30 years to John, an entrepreneur, composer and former Olympic butterfly swimmer.

Don’t be rigid, be flexible. Never lose your vision. Dream big, because people always try to chip away at your idea and make it smaller. Don’t get discouraged, but be realistic."   "Surround yourself with people who know more than you do and HAVE FUN!  If you’re not having fun don’t do it."   “This is probably the most fun I’ve ever had in my life and I feel like everything I’ve done in my past has brought me to  this moment.”   “I’m deeply entrenched and invested in the city  now.”   “You’re pushing a rock uphill and you’re doing all the work.  And then you get to a tipping point where you’ve got this momentum and then it goes over the top and the momentum comes in the shape of other people coming up with great ideas and other people bringing their expertise to the table.
