Podcast appearances and mentions of sandra beckwith

It's been a minute since our last episode, and as we step into a new year, it's clear that for many of us, things haven't quite gone as planned. In particular, I'm referring to friends and family in Los Angeles, who are grappling with the aftermath and the ongoing devastating fires, and to those facing social, environmental, and political challenges. I've recently returned from attending the 11th Annual Podfest Expo in Orlando, FL, and as a first time attendee, I am reinvigorated and more committed than ever to bringing you authentic, inspiring, and hope-filled stories. A heartfelt thank you to Chris Krimitsos, the visionary and founder behind Podfest, for creating an event built on education, collaboration, and community. It's a place where, as he says, "Your Voice Matters," reminding us all to use our words and energy wisely. It's no small coincidence then, that my first guest of 2025, has built her business and personal mission on teaching both children and adults, the fundamentals of kindness and collaboration.   Attributes that appear to be in short supply these days and yet as my experience at Podfest just proved, these qualities can exist given the right leadership, nurturing and creativity. And speaking of nurturing and creativity, my guest Sandra Beckwith, is all of the embodiment of these qualities and so much more. She's the author of numerous e-books, 10 and counting, and is a passionate advocate for civility, with her ‘Master Keys for Kids,' a collection aiming to instill kindness, respect, gratitude, and compassion in our youth. These fundamental values, though seemingly very scarce today, are essential for nurturing a more respectful and empathetic society. Its companion series of character tales,  ‘A Manner for All Seasons' is the second release of what's soon to be a trilogy of living into your life purpose, and serves as a tool for families, classrooms and faith communities. Sandra's program, ‘Return to Civility,' uses theatre skills to teach empathy and emotional intelligence, encouraging kids to engage in meaningful interactions. Beyond her work with children, Sandra is the creator of ‘Your Life as a Masterpiece,' a process aimed at helping individuals discern their life purpose and set personal goals. Soon to be available in e-book form, this course invites us to reflect on the art of living intentionally. I had the great opportunity to be one of Sandra's first students years ago when we were both living in Los Angeles. Join us as we explore Sandra's insights and learn how we can all contribute to a kinder, more respectful world. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or simply someone who cares about the next generation, I trust there's something valuable you can take away from this conversation.
