Season 2: Episode # 14 Craig Landes Ghost Writer and Ghost Stories

About Our Guest: I have been writing in some form for all my life, but four years ago took the plunge and started writing for a living full time after years of struggling to find my vocational "place". I help people write books as a ghostwriter, write articles for publications under my name and for other people, and am just finishing up my first book, '"A Brief History of White Nonsense."

Keys to a Well Lived life: Gratitude, being your authentic self, looking beyond yourself

Words of Wisdom: Shortly before author Maurice Sendak passed away, he was on Fresh Air with Terry Gross and as they were finishing their conversation, he said, "Oh, Terry - live your life, live your life, live your life." Those are my words in the sweet, earnest tone in which Sendak delivered them.

Guest Recommended Book: Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer is a beautifully written book that will help you understand and appreciate the natural world around us.

Social Groups and Social Impact: I am a member of a Dismantling the Doctrine of Discovery group through my church.

Sustainability with Ms. Kay

Sustainability with Ms. Kay

“Sustainability” is one of those words that is often misunderstood. It is a word we hear, but what does it actually mean?

The United Nations has tasked the International Institute for Sustainable Development with defining “sustainability” and providing information and solutions

According to the IISD, when individuals and society provide for their own needs without ruining the future prospects of their children and grandchildren, that’s sustainability.

Join us for a conversation with Ms. Kay; Founder and Owner of Kay Sewing Studio... She shares with us her journey of being a wife, mother, entrepreneur and going back to school after 50 years old.

After a loss, resilient grievers show little disruption in their ability to function.

In this episode Montrella shares her journey of being an author, being featured Essence Magazine and her motivation to crush mental health problems especially during this pandemic! Mental health is an issue that, until recently, people shied away from talking about but, we have seen celebrities like Lady Gaga and Taraji P. Henson come out to speak about mental health

Montrella is an author, mentor, advisor, counsellor and an influencer speaker. She and Dr. Penn met in a mastermind class and they developed a connection as their life goals is geared towards helping people!
