The Lion King: Tiny Desk Concert
Imagine you are at work and then this happens one cubicle over. I love Tiny Desk Concerts so very much. Fun fact: The first Tiny Desk Concert came about in 2008 after Bob Boilen and NPR Music editor Stephen Thompson left South by Southwest frustrated that they couldn’t hear the music over the crowd noise. Thompson joked that the musician, folk singer Laura Gibson, should just perform at Boilen’s desk. A month later Boilen arranged for her to do just that, making an impromptu recording and posting it online. The name is taken from Boilen’s 1970s psychedelic dance band called Tiny Desk Unit.
Yours Truly on How I Built This
Have you ever dreamt of something really big? So big you felt it could only happen in 5-10y? (If at all!) And then, BOOM it’s reality and the universe giggles and whispers “naaah, you’re ready”!
Gasp!
It has been my secret dream to be on How I Built This, to have CreativeMornings one day be recognized for the completely magical, radically generous, collectively powerful, heart-centered organization it is.
The episode came out yesterday. I am swimming in a sauce of gratitude for anyone who has attended, contributed, supported, loved on CreativeMornings. As Thich Nhat Hanh said: “The next Buddha will not take on any individual form. Maybe he will take the form of a Sangha, a community practicing understanding and loving kindness…”

Ludovico Einaudi (The Royal Albert Hall Concert 2010)
I have clearly fallen down a Ludovico Einaudi rabbit hole and I am loving it. This 2010 Royal Albert Hall Concert is an absolute dream. I recommend listening with headphones!
Kait Dunton
This piece took my breath away. Thank you for sharing your gift Kait Dunton.
Featured on Time Sensitive Podcast
I am feeling honored and a bit nervous sharing this interview of yours truly featured on the remarkably thoughtful Time Sensitive Podcast, a labor of love by Spencer Bailey and Andrew Zuckerman. (I originally met Andrew because he has been reading my blog for years.) They are two deeply thoughtful and smart humans nurturing deep conversations. Grateful to have been invited and been allowed to share where my heart and I are at in this moment in time in 2022. You can listen to and also read the interview here.

Grab a cup of tea. Put your headphones on. Listen.

Earth.fm
Here’s your chance to listen to nature sounds from all over the world. It’s like Spotify, but for nature sounds. There goes my day. Absolutely lovely.
A Wanderful Conversation
This is most likely my favorite podcast I ever had the honor to be on. (I love David and the magic he brings to the world with his labor of love Street Wisdom.)
Leading Above The Line
This episode of the Farnham Project Podcast is pure gold. Listen to Jim Dethmer, founding partner at the Conscious Leadership Group and the co-author of the insightful book, The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership, spew an impressive amount of wisdom. It’s so dense I had to listen to it twice, the second time with a pen and paper to take notes. Wow. Here’s to leading and parenting above the line.
The Energy You Allow
“You are responsible for the energy you bring. And you are responsible for the energy you allow.”
I listened to a Super Soul Podcast this weekend (don’t remember which one) and overheard Oprah say this quote. Whoa!
Tank And The Bangas: NPR Music Tiny Desk Concert
I love you Tiny Desk.

Living Adventurously Podcast
I had the pleasure to meet Alastair at the 2018 Do Lectures, where he gave a deeply inspiring talk, challenging all of us to bring a sense of adventure into our day to day.
I just recently discovered his Living Adventurously Podcast. So glad I did.
