Carol Morris has always dreamed of opening her own store. She took that opportunity once Covid slowed down. She was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a bit over six years ago and needed to switch her work environment to reduce her stress level and spend her days in a place that felt like home to her. That is why she calls this My Happy Place. She hopes you call it that too!!

Rachel Fowler is a sustainable interior designer and founder of Rachel Fowler Interiors, a design studio that has sustainability and animal-friendly design at the heart of its operations. After travelling the world as a children's intensive care nurse, Rachel decided to go back to university and start a career in design. She has also completed the Healthy Materials and Sustainable Building course by the New College University in New York, and a Circular Economy course with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Rachel is passionate about how the materials that we choose for our interiors effect our health and well-being, as well as the health of the planet. Her design studio aims to remove the long-winded task of researching materials and help you to create sustainable and humane interiors. Rachel's new book ‘My Happy Place' acts as go-to guide for anyone looking to create healthy, humane, and sustainable working and living spaces.

I've talked with a few guests in the past about doing our part to decorate our homes with sustainability in mind.  But I think we need to give it a little more focused attention, especially now that we also know more about how certain additives in the production of goods can also negatively impact our health.  It's a big topic and I know it can feel overwhelming because there's a lot of information out there, which means it's hard to synthesize, especially when you're just trying to buy a dang roll of paper towels or a floor cleaner and you don't have time to do a ton of research.  So I'd like to break down the topic of environmental responsibility and our health into several episodes over the next year or so.  Today, I'm talking with designer Rachel Fowler who's out with a new book, "My Happy Place: healthy, sustainable and human design for life and work."  She's going to get the ball rolling here in that the bulk of what we talk about is the big picture of what's really going on with how we purchase, consume and dispose of home-related things.

Ready, Set with Ashley Good Episode 033 This week, artist Ashley Longshore calls in from Louisiana! Ashley shares her experiences about carving her own path into the art world, the public's perception of pop art, and her new series "My Happy Place." I also get the opportunity to take a jab at Picasso with my favourite living artist.

Katie Fehlinger is one of Andie's all-time Sheroes!  Philadelphians know her as the former meteorologist on CBS 3 but now she is a published author. She says "The 2:45 A.M. alarm was always going to have a shelf life."  She was a big market on-air TV meteorologist but out of the public view, she was miserable. She decided to fix her own situation. In "My Happy Place", Katie lays out her DIY roadmap to authentic personal bliss: how she self-audited and beat down roadblocks to actualize her most joyous path, plus her practical steps to ensure the good times keep rolling. A relatable, hopeful memoir/how-to hybrid, "My Happy Place" is for all the people-pleasers trying to take back control of their own lives. To order Katie's book, click HERE.

Interview with Philip Van Zijl - Godfather of The "Spearfishing Mafia"! This episode covers Philip’s spearfishing journey from the jump to competition diving starting in Cape Town, South Africa to New Zealand and plenty of places in between. He’s a champion of the sport, an absolute legend. He’s a major contributor to the spearfishing community, and a big proponent of paying it forward. Something he’s coined “The Spearfishing Mafia”. Our community, sport, and the hobby are niche. It’s even more niche than SCUBA diving. Take advantage of it, and build your network.  Big thanks to Philip for taking the time to “pay it forward” on the Noob Spearo Podcast! This episode is provided to you through the support of  Time Stamps!  10:00 Introduction Philip Van Zijl began diving in Cape Town in 1968 at the young age of 16, without wetsuits and just basic gear taking the train to get to where he needed to be. Yellow tail, crayfish, and other good species were some of his earliest accomplishments, always a good feed! A master of limiting out on crayfish during his years in school. He even paid for a year of his time at university from the fruits of his diving! A strong proponent of speargun awareness, make sure you listen to find out why…  Philip personally procured one of his 120cm spearguns from the legendary Rob Allen, what a story! Think you’re bad about keeping old gear? Philip still has his first catch bag he bought in the 60’s.  26:00 Early struggles spearfishing Personally, rigging your own speargun was a bit more difficult without YouTube… “If you give out kindness, it comes back to you.” – Pay it forward! Learning new spots, on your own – pays dividends later on! Sharing your expertise, and knowledge, doesn’t necessarily mean sharing your spots Proper weighting, weight secure locations (Harness vs. Belt)  31:35 Most memorable catch His last dive in Tauranga, NZ with a mate who brought him to a secret honey hole. 15-20 meters visibility, perfect conditions. Kingfish, historically uncommon for the area but are making a comeback. He was diving with some friends, stomach started to sour, and then returned to the boat. After viewing a bait ball of Kahawai, he grabbed his gear and jumped back into the water. Viewing a school of Kingfish, he pulled the trigger and bagged a PB weighing in at approximately 27 kilos! To hear his second most memorable catch on a “popgun”, tune in to 35:43!  38:50 Favorite species to hunt Snapper, hands down. A challenging quarry, requiring a combination of burly and stealth. 3-4k tops, but no monsters like on the GBR. Slow movements, be calm, don’t look directly *at* them, and let them get within target range. Maintain gun awareness so that when the shot presents itself, it can easily be taken. Learned from losing a 6k Trevally years ago. Learn about the duality of the gun safety discussion here!  42:50 Scariest moments in the ocean While shooting a Blue Moki, the bugger got off the spear and high-tailed it into a crevice. Meanwhile, a surge came and pushed Philip into a crevice in which he was stuck. Every spearo’s nightmare. Trying to remain calm, he considered that a surge which can push you in, can also pull you out. Going for broke, he expelled the air in his lungs to reduce his physical profile and was able to get pulled out on the next surge out to sea. Probably the scariest moment of his life. Lesson learned – be very careful when working a crevice while fishing for crays or otherwise.  48:00 Veterans Vault: The “Spearfishing Mafia” Giving back to the spearfishing community is as important as the sport itself. Hospitality within the spearfishing community is unique to the sport – PAY IT FORWARD! Bring your gear as often as possible when traveling so you never miss an opportunity! Reaching out on social media prior to travel and networking can be an incredible asset When traveling with spearfishing equipment, keep “gun” out of your vocabulary. Just refer to it as fishing equipment. It can save you valuable time Cooler bags can be worth their weight in gold when traveling Sharing spearfishing equipment when mates are traveling can not just save on cost but strengthen relationships Be a good host – it comes back around; when you aren’t, well then it won’t will it? How to avoid losing a knife - use some paracord or dyneema, tie it off to a pencil or other instrument, then tie that to the end of the knife. This way, when you drop the knife (not if, but when) it will stay secured  75:00 Equipment Bag Catch-bags are a must, saves you from going back to your plat “float boat”. Avoid harassment from sea lions, seals, or the tax man by simply using a catch-bag. Actually, saved a fishing competition by using one as the sea lions were going from float to float getting chubby on the hard work of humans. Carry two knives – one on thigh and one on arm. To avoid losing knives, use some paracord or dyneema, tie it off to a pencil or other instrument, then tie that to the end of the knife. This way, when you drop the knife (not if, but when) it will stay secured.  1:06 Spearo Q&A Describe what the spearfishing experience means to you? “My Happy Place, oh and the food.” Single best piece of advice ever given for spearfishing? “Dive to your capabilities, don’t overdo it. Have fun, enjoy it, recharge yourself.” Most influential person in spearfishing to you? Jacques Cousteau, major influence. Spearfishing/Freediving library? 99 Tips to get Better at Spearfishing! Had to start all over, what would you do differently? Get a decent wetsuit, a lot earlier. It makes such a difference. A decent speargun too. OMER fins, good foot pockets. Being comfortable when diving is more important than you think! Carbon fins have made a huge difference, but hey back in the 60’s we didn’t have a choice. Don’t look at the brand, look at the fit, and you’ll appreciate it later. You don’t need to spend a fortune to have an effective dive kit. Who is the best person to go spearfishing with now? I’ve got a Band of Brothers here now. I tell my wife it’s my Portuguese adopted son. There’s a few spearos around here and we all go spearfishing together.   Where can people connect with you? Philip Van Zijl Sr. on Facebook, message me and let’s connect for a chat or a dive! Any parting guidance or wisdom for the community? Set the example. A lot of people have different perspectives of spearos, 90% of us are ethical and moral hunters. Don’t publish death piles. It just gives ammo to the greenies. Pay attention to the size of the fish. If there’s a doubt, don’t shoot. If it’s marginal, don’t shoot. If it’s huge, then its legal.

When Lisa and Deidra were first introduced to each other, the topic quickly became about a desire to help women and children. Both women had a healthcare background, both married to physicians, and both women wanting to make a real difference in the lives of others. In 2012, My Happy Place was created, a non-profit 501(c)3, offering bedroom makeovers to sick children. In 2016, it was time to add the other half of the equation into the scheme of things and My Happy Haven was born. My Happy Haven offers bedroom makeovers to women with cancer. Cancer affects us all. We all know of a friend or close family member living with a cancer diagnosis. With a cancer diagnosis comes fear and the uncertainty of what the future will bring. Lisa, having been diagnosed with breast cancer herself in 2014, also lost both of her parents to cancer. Believing that there's good that comes from every bad outcome, Lisa used her cancer experience as a catalyst to create My Happy Haven and help other women on a cancer journey.

Rapper Some Guy Named Lee joins the podcast to talk the release of his new project, "My Happy Place".

It's all about BABY LOVE as we wrap up our solo Spice episodes with the incredible career of Emma Bunton. Baby Spice is the only Spice Girl to release recent music with "My Happy Place" so they spend some time talking about those gorgeous covers. Bunton can do no wrong so it was hard the for the hosts to pick their favorite Emma moments within the Spice Girls but "2 Become 1" is a stand out for both of them. They dial it all the way back to when "What I Am" was the theme song to her own show on VH1 and then chat about her first album, "A Girl Like". With breakout hits like "What Took You So Long" and "Take My Breath Away" how can you not love this 'freckle-faced' era?! James and John can't contain their excitement as they talk about the second album, "Free Me", by far their favorite - Motown inspired with Bossa Nova undertones is perfect for sunny days and beach heaven. They talk about how hot Emma looked in the videos, how fun the "Maybe" and "I'll Be There" videos are and then have a few things to say about the random release "Crickets Sing For Anamaria". When it comes time to the third album, "Life In Mono" they certainly have some opinions that you'll either love or hate. Aside from music, Emma has done so much in entertainment, from presenting TV, to hosting on radio, so of course, they talk about Absolutely Fabulous, Hear Radio, Eastenders and the random appearances in Bollywood movies!! Emma Bunton can literally do it all. That sweet voice, that kick ass attitude, James and John celebrate everything Baby Spice has given us!

Special Guest from Madison Wisconsin the Fabulous Drag Queen, Bianca Lynn Breeze. We talk about how Bianca came about, Rupaul's Drag Race and a episode of rapid fire questions. https://www.instagram.com/blbreeze/ I play a new song from Emma Bunton's new album, My Happy Place and more! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/curt-collins/message

In episode 21, we sit down for a discussion with Nathan Maki, author of several works of historical fiction, including The War Within Series and his newest release, The Keeper's Crown. We discuss his writing process, Bible quizzing, the new book, and the orphanage that his parents operate in the Congo. Be sure to check out his new book; you won't be disappointed!You can find Bro. Maki's books here:Amazon: https://goo.gl/vvGo5YBarnes & Noble: https://goo.gl/z9KsCKAuthor's Website: www.nathandmaki.comAbout the new book:A Roman soldier in exile, a rebel Jewess, and an Apostle in chains…can faith, hope, and love unite them?Some early reviewers had this to say:“Unequivocally five stars all the way!”“Fans of Francine Rivers’ Mark of the Lion trilogy will enjoy Nathan Maki’s immersive The Keeper’s Crown.”“This novel unfolds like a movie and draws you into the sights, sounds and smells of first century Palestine leaving the reader with the ‘you were there’ experience.”“Impeccably researched, this tale is difficult to put down and is sure to be a favorite of fans of Roman era historical fiction and the story of early Christianity.”“A great read from beginning to end.”In The Keeper’s Crown, readers will see Paul’s life and ministry in an immediate and accessible way, through the eyes of the young soldier who kept him under guard in Rome. The book follows Paul from his arrest in the Temple in Jerusalem, through his trials, transportation to Rome, shipwreck on Malta, imprisonment, appearance before Nero, and his eventual martyrdom. Along the way we meet such familiar figures as the governors Felix and Festus, King Agrippa, Timothy, Onesimus, Epaphroditus, Demas, and Emperor Nero. Readers will see the gospel of repentance, baptism in Jesus’ name, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost played out before them, backed by Paul’s own words from his Epistles. Paul’s courage and determination and the overarching theme of “What is Godly Success?” will challenge believers to dare greatly and obey God’s will no matter the cost. All of this presented in an engaging, action-packed book that gets the message across without being “preachy.” Order yours today!Paul turned the world upside down. Nero set it on fire.Caught between them, can Quintus and Jael survive long enough to find the Truth?From the Back Cover:~Quintus~As a boy, he dared to fight Nero. Worse, he won. Stripped of his family, the love of his life, and his self-respect, he sets out on a quest to win a victor's crown, rescue his parents, and restore his family's honor. But his path to glory in the restless province of Judaea is threatened by the corrupt governor Felix, the murderous priest Melechi, and most of all by the rabble-rousing Paul of Tarsus. When Quintus finds himself in Rome chained to Paul all hope of a crown seems lost, but Paul's example makes him question the true meaning of success. And why does Jael, the mysterious young Jewess who once saved his life, now respond with barely restrained flashes of hate? ~Jael~The Romans took her father and her brother from her. Now Jael vows to fight for her father's faith, fulfill her brother's oath, and avenge their deaths. But the further she travels with Paul and Quintus the more she feels torn. Can she follow her heart and still keep her vow? ~Paul~ He turned the world upside down. Paul never expected to end his ministry in chains, but even still, he is determined to carry the gospel to Rome and the Emperor Nero himself. But what if those who need the gospel most are those closest to him? As the Great Fire strikes Rome, fanning Nero's persecution of the Christians to a white-hot fury, murderous secrets, impossible choices, and steadfast faith will lead to tragedy and triumph.Excerpt from the BookThe prisoner looked over his bare shoulder at Quintus. “Is it lawful for you to scourge a man who is a Roman, and uncondemned?” His voice was steady and calm, as if he were asking a newcomer to a bathhouse about the weather outside.A Roman! Quintus froze. If this man’s claim was true, by law they should not even have fettered him. They certainly could not scourge him. “Hold,” he told the inquisitor. “Don’t touch him until I return.”Quintus sprinted the stairs three at a time. He found Lysias nursing a cup of wine and staring blank-faced at the milling crowd in the Temple courts below. Lysias turned and cocked an eyebrow. “Has he broken already? I had him made of sterner stuff.” “Watch what you’re doing with this one,” Quintus said. “This man is a Roman.” The tribune set down his cup so abruptly its contents sloshed over his hand. He didn’t seem to notice. “Take me there.” When they reached the dungeon, the prisoner was still bound as Quintus had left him. His arched back and lean, outstretched arms reminded Quintus of a juniper clinging to a wind-lashed crag. If he felt discomfort from the strained position he gave no sign of it.Lysias paced around to face him. The man’s eyes were closed, and his lips moved without a sound. “Tell me,” the tribune demanded, “are you a Roman?”The bound man looked up and met the tribune’s eyes with a frank gaze. “I am.” “Hmm.” Lysias ran a knuckle back and forth across his lips as he slowly shook his head. “With a great price I obtained this citizenship.” “But I was born free.” The prisoner’s eyes gleamed an inner light. “My name is Paul.”Author Bio and Fun FactsNathan Maki lives in Prescott, Ontario, Canada with his wife Rachel and son Alexander. He has turned his degrees in Journalism and History into a writing career, and along with The Keeper’s Crown he is author of the best-selling War Within series, also set in Ancient Rome.

His team took 2nd place in North America one year.Nathan graduated  from Carleton University with highest honors in Journalism and History only to become a landscaper, author, and pastor.

My guest today owns a business that I refer to as “My Happy Place.”  Her name is Janine Narayadu and her business is The Bethesda Salt Cave. In addition to housing a relaxing and healing salt cave, customers can benefit from massages, yoga classes, and sound bowl concerts. And…as an extra bonus…they have a unique store filled with salt lamps, jewelry, and natural products that Janine creates. In this podcast Janine shares her story of discovering salt caves and their healing properties, and how she turned a solo massage practice into a rapidly expanding business. Janine has led a unique international life. Born in South Africa, Janine became a police officer. From there she moved to Vienna, Austria and was married to a professional French horn player. It’s there that Max, her son and now business partner, was born. Janine eventually divorced and moved to the U.S. and now lives in Maryland with her husband who works for the World Bank. You might be wondering – What’s a salt cave?! Well…it’s a room that’s literally filled with salt. In the case of the Bethesda Salt Cave, there are 30 tons of Himalayan salt on the walls, and 6.5 tons on the floor, and salt is pumped into the air with a Halo Generator. Think about walking on a sandy beach, but instead, you’re walking on grains of salt. You relax in an anti-gravity chair, listening to soothing spa music and just breathe! The salty environment is healing and relaxing. Find out more about the Bethesda Salt Cave at bethesdasaltcave.com.   Do you ever feel like you need a little guidance in your career or personal life? As a life coach, I am here to assist you in making and meeting the goals you have set for yourself on both business and personal levels.
