Podcast appearances and mentions of Susan B Katz

No one is an island. Even though we need to occasionally step away to engage in our solo pursuits, we still need a place that we can come home to. Having roots makes us feel like we are part of a community and are not alone on our quest. That's why connecting with others is a fundamental need we must fulfill to thrive. One person who exemplifies the importance of community and being connected to the world around us is ethologist and conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall. From her decades of learning and observing chimpanzees in their natural habitat to her more recent years spent educating and building awareness about conservation and solidarity, she's been guided by a deep spiritual and moral conviction to reveal the common thread that connects us all. Jane reminds us that we are connected and we are all vital parts of a beautiful whole. When our head and heart work in harmony, we can deeply understand all living creatures, including our fellow humans. To discuss Jane Goodall's long and illustrious career and her message of love and hope, I invited Susan B. Katz. Susan is an award-winning, bestselling, Spanish bilingual author/illustrator. She has over a dozen published titles. Her book, The Story of Ruth Bader (baiter) Ginsburg (gins-burg), recently hit #18 on Amazon's overall Bestseller List and #9 in children's books. Meditation Station, a picture book about trains and mindfulness, won the 2020 International Book Award for Best Mind/Body/Spirit Children's Book. She also earned the Moonbeam Gold Award for Best Picture Book in celebration of My Mama Earth.

By teaching children meditation and mindfulness skills we help them increase their well-being and enable them to meet the stresses of the world with presence, self-compassion, and openness.
