In this episode, I talk with my friend Zach about disruptions, whether or not they are helpful or hurtful and whether or not they are surprises or intentional. This is my final episode for the foreseeable future, due to enough disruptions in my life. Maybe I will continue after things settle down, but for now, this is goodbye.

I interview Jen Fuller a Portland-based glass artist about how her art is part of a deeply spiritual, continual conversation that includes different parts of experimentation, education and expression to explore topics such as facing ones own mortality.

I interview Christy Drogosch about being confident in front of her high school students, having an ex husband who is one of her best friends, what happened with their shared friends and why she wants other people to see her as the crazy lady next door.

I wrap up this group of episodes, this being the twelfth episode in the series so far. I also invite you to email me if you want to be interviewed and share a little about your own growth with podcast listeners. Wishing you the best and hoping you express your true self more and more each day.

I interview Amy Dallas who works in the video game industry and has done so for many years. We talked about the time we met and how it was a tangent from what her life has been and is now. We also talked about her more usual life as a professional in the video game industry, including going to conferences and having to choose a topic that made her feel vulnerable in front of a room of so many people she did not know personally but with whom she shared a common professional interest.
