Living Dynamic Balance
Anything is Everything is my first podcast!
I have been privileged to have lived a life where talking to strangers has been enjoyable and comfortable since i was a wee one. Because of this, i often find myself sharing intimate conversations with people that i would not typically find myself in. Which kind of makes it typical..
This podcast was inspired by these random interactions, where i often learn a lot about people, life, and always myself. I had the thought that these random conversations would be of benefit to someone, if they were recorded.
The content of these conversations are always spontaneous improvisation, just as random conversations tend to be, following their own flow and having their own life. The majority of the podcastees have been in health care so far, as this is my area of interest, but this will not always be so! Or so it may, who knows.
An intention is to show that though we are seemingly separated by countless divisions of being, we are actually all connected by what we deem important in life. That there is a general goodness and safeness to life. That we can connect through communication and learn something in the process.

Simon Calnan
There is no one i would rather host in my first podcast episode! Simon Calnan is so kind and insightful, one of those people whos presence is part of his medicine.
We uncouver some real gold nuggets through exploring Simons experiences, starting from leaving home while being chronically sick. We go over the classic mind over matter, the gifts that discomfort brings, miracle healing, the circular nature our our paths and how selfishness can translate into selflessness!

Zahara Devi Rose
I am so grateful to have been able to record this conversation with Zahara! She has so much knowledge in so many areas and is able to speak from the heart while she shares it. I learn a lot every time i talk to her, as when we talk it is often not about the weather! S
The is so able to dive deep into conversations that are often had behind closed doors.
I take this opportunity to prompt Zahara to share her insights into the world of sexuality. She shares how money is related to our sexuality, the importance of relaxation within making love, honoring our internal yes' or no's, shares knowledge of the sexual assalt trauma response, and shares a great saying that i won't forget; trauma is not the issue, it lives in the tissue.
Enjoy the talk! And please do yourself a favor and reach out to Zahara and take advantage of this masters facilitation and coaching!

Episode 5
Robin Clements
of Breathwave
I am very grateful for all the in person and conversational experience I have shared with Robin Clements. I was lucky enough to walk the path towards Breathwave, a consciously connected breath pattern that is facilitated and experienced in ceremony. Robin is a shining light in the breath community and anyone who takes his training tends to agree!
We talked about all sorts of things including the initiation of parenthood, surrendering expectation, who he found the breath in Mexico, understanding breathing patterns and how they arise, being too attached to beliefs, the compassionate warrior, and finishing up with messages from Robin to the masculine and feminine in all of us. Such a beautifully inspired conversation.
