S14 Ep 136S14 Ep136: Christina Ramirez- The Magic of Finding a Home

Christina talks two magical occurences in this episode-the first is about home, and where she and her kids would live...Santa Fe is already a dicey place to find a home in this market, but somehow, one day, everything came together to find a place to lay their heads! It took one sleepy teenager, and skipping a day of snowboarding, but in the end, they got exactly what they needed.The next miracle has to do with her kids and their musical abilities...2 and 3 year olds in a band? It's hard to imagine kids that age being that committed, but they really were, and are-and are now attending the Santa Fe School for the Arts. But it was what one elderly woman told her one day that allowed Christina to know that the relationship between musician and instrument is far more sacred than she imagined.To check out Christina's book "Empowered by Discomfort" click here: https://www.amazon.com/Empowered-Discomfort-Challenges-Confidence-Principle/dp/B0BY5YFYSWTo check and see what my guest is all about, visit her website https://cristinamramirez.com/And, my lovelies, I will see you next week for another episode full of magic and mystery!

S14 Ep 134S14 Ep134: The Interview: Amy Wong Hope-Magical Ancestors

Amy is indomitable, and her miracle story really touched me, especially as I am doing my own deep work to excavate just who I am...(a life-long process really, if we're lucky!) Sometimes it's our ancestors who give us gifts, sometimes our ancestors give us lessons, and sometimes...they give us stories we need to unpack and heal. Amy shares just such a story in this longer episode, and it'll be sure to touch your heart!We also talk trauma, the lacquer that coats each of us thanks to the stories our culture and families and friends share with us (helpful or not!) and the size of the chisel we're going to need to chip that lacquer off! (Hint: it's pretty big). BUT, as Amy shares, there is infinite hope in all this chisel work, and when we are done, (Hint: also we might never be done) we can bring our more authentic and shinier selves to the world. Thanks so much for listening, and please remember, sharing is caring! This little pod needs to be out in the world, changing hearts and opening minds...be shameless and share with everyone!See you next week for another episode of the pod, and until then?
