Ep 181E181: Erik Alexander - Love is Love
Learn more about NOLA Papa and by "The Secret Mermaid Revue" at : https://nolapapa.com/In Eriks Own Words:My name is Erik Alexander and my husband and I are from New Orleans, Louisiana. We have two independently assertive daughters and an eager baby boy trying to keep up with his sisters.We strongly feel that as an LGBTQ family, especially in the south, it's important for us and others like us to help light the way for the ones that need hope. We live in an incredibly divisive time and right now visibility is critical to help destigmatize and normalize same-sex families.We love our children just as any other straight family does, if not more than some.Just like them, we would do anything on Earth for our babies. We do that every single day, regardless if we are two dads.It is my mission to broaden the one-sided view of the stereotypical American family. We too are living the American dream. We are the new normal, a loving family that teaches our children acceptance of all walks of life and the importance of being kind to one another.Our place in this world is earned, not owed.My hope is that through my blog, Nolapapa.com, I am able to bury my insecurities, my fears, and my failures- for all to read, in hopes to see my weaknesses sprout and transform into self-improvement, and resilience, and embrace an unapologetic renewal. My past helped make me who I am today- but who I am tomorrow depends on how I choose to get there, today.

Learn more about Scott at:Scott Shute(1) Scott Shute | LinkedInIn Scott's Own words: "Most of us have been climbing the wrong mountain, and sometimes it seems like the harder we climb, the further we rise, the less we have. On my journey through life, I’ve always felt the pull of two worlds. On one hand, the life of technical, for the operational. On the other, the life of a seeker, with the feeling of a deep connection to something bigger than myself. These two worlds fueled a question how can we be successful at work and also be a good person? With my exploration of this question, I have strived to change work, (and the world) from the inside out.

Ep 169E169: Lawren Askinosie - Doing Work that Matters
Lawren Askinosie grew up around craft chocolate, and with craft chocolate. Still in high school when her father transitioned from courtroom to chocolate-making and started one of the first small batch chocolate factories in America, she assisted him in almost every facet of their new life as chocolate makers—from working the storefront to developing marketing material. Eager to jump into the family business full-time Lawren began college early and upon graduation at 20, dove headfirst into learning the ins and outs of operating a bean-to-bar chocolate factory, building a brand, and marketing and selling craft chocolate.Now the Chief Marketing Officer of the direct trade business that Forbes recently named “One of the 25 Best Small Companies In America,” Lawren is passionate about more than helping to shape the conversation around craft chocolate. She loves assisting Shawn to build sustainable relationships with smallholder cocoa farmers (especially female farmers), telling those stories, and finding innovative ways to connect the dots between the direct trade model, quality, and community. A passionate advocate for women, Lawren works to empower women through every aspect of the business from helping to seek out female-led farmer groups to facilitating girls empowerment initiatives in Askinosie’s cocoa origin communities. Lawren’s first book, which she co-authored with her father, called Meaningful Work: A Quest To Do Great Business, Find Your Calling And Feed Your Soul is available here.Lawren is based in Austin, TX with her husband and three dogs (we lovingly call it "The Austin Annex"). Because technology, she's able to do her job remotely but also spends tons of time at the chocolate factory in Springfield. When she's not chocolate-ing or traveling, she's eating her way through Austin (with particular emphasis on tacos, BBQ and margaritas) and listening to live music.Lawren serves on the board of Girls Empowerment Network, a Texas-based nonprofit that seeks to ignite the power in girls throughout the state by teaching them self-efficacy.

Ep 166E166: Lynne Bowman - Aging with Joy
In Lynne's own words:There is enormous power in resetting your relationship with food, taking control of your health, strength, mindset and mood. But why take cooking or health advice from a snarky grandma who doesn’t own a restaurant, isn’t a reality TV star, doesn’t have a medical degree, and doesn’t particularly like to cook? Here's why: my new book, "Brownies for Breakfast, A Cookbook for Diabetics and the People Who Love Them," is a cool, fun, beautiful, guidebook for anybody who wants to eat healthy: vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, gluten-free and sugar-free. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes more than thirty years ago, and offer myself as living proof that you can cook, eat, sleep and walk your way out of type 2 diabetes, along with other chronic ailments. That’s what I want for you, and the people who love you:“Brownies for Breakfast,” tells you exactly how to do it. I've got stories, I'm fun, at ease in front of a microphone and camera, and love doing podcasts.

Ep 164E164: Lia Pinelli - Eating without Fear
Lia is one smart cookie. Despite holding degrees from both Stanford and UC Berkeley she was unable to crack the code on her struggle with overeating for decades. No matter how many books read, diets tried, or mindful eating methods subscribed to she could not resolve her struggle with food and weight. After becoming a life coach in 2016 she learned about weight loss coaching and was totally skeptical-- after all, if it worked she would have tried it already! She decided to give it a go anyway and was blown away by the results. Not only did she lose weight without using willpower or resistance, but she no longer experienced the over-hunger and cravings that had plagued her since childhood. Weight loss coaching provided the missing link!! It not only helped her figure out what to eat, but it addressed her mindset around food and weight. She learned to think differently which led her to eat differently and in a simple, sustainable way. That was 30 pounds ago. Today she lives happily with her family in California and maintains her natural weight without counting calories or carbs. She’s on a mission to teach other women how to ditch the diet drama and create the lives they crave, unapologetically. Learn more about Lia at: https://liapinellicoaching.com/eatingwithoutfear.....and about the 3 simple tools that allowed her to lose 7 lbs. without dieting Eating Without Fear gives you step-by-step instructions on how to...1. Identify physical versus emotional hunger2. Eat only when you are truly hungry3. Stop when you're full (yes, it's actually possible!)

Pastor Kaji is known for her work in building networks of thousands of immigrant-led advocates across the country. For her ministry on the US border with Mexico, Pastor Kaji was targeted and surveilled by ICE and CBP, the subject of her lawsuit Douša v. DHS. She has emerged as a key voice in finding a way forward for migrants. In the summer of 2020, Pastor Kaji helped to lead many of the rallies and marches organized in response to the murders of Breonna Taylor and George Floyd. In the midst of the uprisings, Pastor Kaji and a group of Black clergy women built a new, member-based organization called Daughters 4 Justice (D4J) to constructively work with and hold to account lawmakers and the NYPD in order to re-envision public safety in NYC. D4J’s basic premise is that a city structured around the safety of Black children will be safe for everyone. Pastor Kaji is known for her particular ministry in service to the spiritual needs of Black excellence. Many national and world leaders – particularly Black women – call on her for prayer, support, care and discretion. She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania and of Yale University, where she earned a Bachelor of Arts degree cum laude and a Master of Divinity degree, respectively. Pastor Kaji completed her term as President of the Yale Divinity School Alumni Association in 2020. Her other nonprofit board roles include Planned Parenthood’s Clergy Advocacy Board, where she served on the 2020 U.S. Presidential endorsement committee for the Action Fund.

Pastor Kaji’s advocacy expertise helps to build the public and policy imaginary beyond intractable discourse. Her clear moral leadership brings her to a number of venues – from the pulpit to news broadcasts, editorial pages and policy rooms.

Ep 160E160: Leighton Boyce - Follow where Happiness Takes You
Learn more about Leighton: About Us | SYNERGY HomeCare of Longmont An Arkansas native, Leighton started her caregiver career at the young age of 12, taking care of her grandmother who suffered from dementia. She loved the time she spent with her grandmother, learning that the best way to keep calm was to not disagree or try to correct her when she didn’t know where she was or what day it was. She met her grandmother where she was, and it made all the difference in her grandmother’s quality of life.She went to college where she studied political science and economics – a far cry from caregiving.She was working at Whole Foods in a customer service capacity and moving up the management ladder thanks to her drive to be successful and do what needed to be done. She and her husband had transferred to a new Whole Foods in Colorado in 2015, where her husband had family.But one day she had an epiphany. She no longer wanted to be a part of people’s obligatory errands. She wanted to be involved in something more meaningful. Like caregiving. She craved it. So she gave her notice, not knowing what she was going to do, but knowing she needed to do something different.In 2017 she started working at SYNERGY HomeCare of Longmont as a caregiver and scheduler. She felt fulfilled and kept asking to learn more aspects of the business. After about two years, the owner approached her and said she wanted to sell her business and wanted Leighton to buy it.“I should have been scared, terrified, even, but for some reason I wasn’t,” she said. So at the end of 2019, just before the pandemic, she became the new owner. She attacked the business from all ends and doubled the company’s revenue in the first year.She takes a strong interest in memory care clients because it is so personal to her.She feels that each of her clients have a wealth of experience and memories that are important to preserve and pass along to families who may not have the time to solicit themselves.She says when we lose a life, we lose a wealth of knowledge.Her husband works in the business with her as a caregiver.Even as an owner, she takes shifts caregiving and can fill in when a shift is uncovered. She finds it keeps her close to the business and evens the playing field with her employees.She believes that she and her caregivers create a symbiotic relationship with their clients. The caregivers benefit by learning from them, understanding their lives and history, while the clients benefit from highly personalized and engaged care. She also believes this connection strengthens communities by creating a shared understanding. In that regard, she says her business philosophy is to focus on community rather than the competition.She calls her caregivers heroes and angels, but the reality is that she has provided many of them with the opportunity to excel in a career that is not often regarded highly or even seen as a career. She once helped a caregiver get a car because that was what she needed to be excellent in her job. Someone she hired was living in hotels at the time – today she is applying to be a homeowner. She hires people of all types, but the common denominator is kindness. She often finds that the people she interviews lack confidence and she encourages them to brag about themselves.She offers a flexible and supportive work environment that recognizes that caregivers have a life and a family and hobbies outside of work. Leighton happily covers shifts if her employees have a pressing issue and can’t come to work. She has an employee value proposition:Caregivers are whole people, with families, hobbies, and lives outside of work. We work to keep non-traditional hours and use unlimited flexibility to create a work-life fit for us and the people we love. Giving caregivers the freedom and flexibility to create their own work-life balance builds trust in our company, but it’s also just the right thing to do. That’s why flexibility is at the core of our benefits and culture.She is also very tactful when she thinks caregiving is not the right calling for an employee. She prints out multiple job postings and suggests they look into them because she thinks they might make the employee happier. Her feeling is that if you aren’t happy in your job, it will affect your caregiving.Leighton and her two sisters were raised by a single dad. He always told her you don’t have to go to college – be an artist, be a dancer. He saw the joy about her and never wanted her to lose that.Family has always been important to Leighton, from caring for her grandmother to today caring for her family of caregivers. She says she has created a family in her business, in which she and her caregivers become part of the client’s family.

Ep 158E158: D. Neil Elliott- You Choose Your Path, Deliberately or by Default
In Neil's own words:As I write this, it has been just over three years since I began my journey, utilizing the knowledge I gained to reach out and contact the Divine and cleanse and rebuild my consciousness. This contact takes place when you gain the knowledge and insights about the Truth of Existence, Creation, and the twin impulses of being, and follow the instructions provided. Only after I had completed all the necessary learnings and steps was I able to reach out properly to make contact with the Divine. When I first started meditating, I felt nothing I recognized as contact. After a few months of meditating daily, I got in the swing of clearing my mind completely of the string of endless thoughts that flow non-stop into the human mind and permeate it. As I continued with daily meditations, daily cleansing, and the rebuilding of my consciousness, my contact with the Divine became clearer, more beautiful, and more powerful. The stronger the inflow of spiritual energy was, the more my body reacted in movements and vibrations. As I became more receptive to the inflow of spiritual power, I began to shift into higher frequencies of consciousness.If you join me in this process, completing the learnings, learning how to meditate properly, and sticking with it, you too may enjoy these amazing and beautiful experiences yourself, as you ascend in consciousness.Learn more about Neil and buy his book at: https://www.dneilelliott.com/ Please leave a review or send us a Voice note letting us know what you enjoyed at:Back2Basics reconnecting to the essence of YOU (podpage.com)Follow us on IG and FB @Back2BasicsPodcast
