Sheri's son was diagnosed with Tcell Lymphoma at just 2 years old. Through this experience, she realized just how important it was to band together with other families experiencing pediatric cancer.

Zack is one of my favorite people (if you can't tell already with him showing up 3 times this season alone.) His mindset is straight savage. He is constantly challenging the stereotypes that keep men small while advocating for other men to step into their awareness. I met up with Zack at The Mecca Gym which hosts a beautiful array of equipment targeted towards assisting powerlifters reach full potential. During this meet up, I witnessed Zack at 5' 3" and 148 lbs deadlift 405 lbs x5 times!

Have you ever wondered what it's like to be a life coach? I have!

I sit down and talk with Mike Bryant and Zack Henson about Khaos Kreed, societal standards impacting masculinity, and relationship barriers due to social media. I’ve been listening to the movement of an evolution of men lately. It’s out there. Men rejecting the “boys will be boys” mentality and stepping into their responsibilities to be GOOD, SOLID MEN. I am really interested to hear more of this Genre of Renaissance man so I am featuring some of them this year on the podcast. I am inspired that men are embracing full consciousness and spreading the message that you don’t have to be a certain “type” of man to be “A MAN”. Such is the case with Zack Henson. Listen in to hear about The Evolution of Man.

Do you look at yourself any differently than a 16 oz cup?! Well, you shouldn't! Each one of us is a physical container existing in a society that expects us to fill up to overflowing. In this episode I talk about capacity and the need for accountability. I touch on failure and how integrating that into our life process can promote our "highest and best use". I would love to hear your feedback. You can leave some by voice message on anchor.fm or comment on any of my social media accounts.

I have had a few undesirable experiences with the family court system pertaining to divorce and custody modification. My husband and I are currently navigating blending a family with his meddling, high conflict ex as a main obstacle. There was a point where I said, "WHERE ARE THE SUPPORT GROUPS FOR THIS STUFF?" As soon as I said that I opened up Instagram and found a blended family workshop that Ashley from Our Splendid Life was hosting. I signed up immediately. I went to the workshop and it was full of impactful information. I wanted to interview Ashley about her upcoming support resources available including upcoming workshops and her online course. She agreed to come join me for this episode. I wanted to know more about her personal experiences that drive her motivation to provide resources for blended families. At the last minute, I asked my son if he would be comfortable talking about the kid perspective to "high conflict" custody disputes and he said, "Sure!". The second half is my interview with my thirteen year old son, Jonah. You can find out more about Ashley and what she is providing on oursplendidlife.com .

On a photo session, I was able to have a conversation with Allie about her struggle with society fed body obsession. We talked about how overcoming an eating disorder put her on a new path of coaching women about intuitive eating and loving the body they're in. I thought it was important to have Allie on A Fresh Perspective Podcast to talk about an issue that is not really discussed. Along with Allie's input, I invited her sister Whitney to offer perspective on the support aspect. I'm really pleased with how this interview went. I would love to hear your feedback and see your permission slip that I talk about in the end of the episode. Tag @a_fresh_perspectivepodcast on Instagram or message it to me on Facebook!

I wanted to get an insider's perspective on the current mental health field. I was curious about how stigmas may impact a professional's ability to treat a client. I also wanted to talk to Carly ABOUT her, what motivated her to get into counseling, and her personal experiences that have shaped her as both an individual and a professional.

Quickly approaching a deadline to write my conversion story, a big catalyst for thought on the topic encouraged me at Relief Society yesterday. Listen in on some of the connections I made about the conversion process and what "conversion" as a whole can mean over a span of time for members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

My husband and I are a couple who have a 7 child (soon to be 8) blended family. We also have a meddling/high-conflict ex spouse to keep out. In this episode talk about the Crazy in our lives and what steps we've taken to eliminate as many wedges as possible to restore sanity in order to foster a new marriage. Excerpts are read from the book, Say Goodbye to Crazy: How To Get Rid Of His Crazy Ex And Restore Sanity To Your Life By Dr. Tara Palmatier and Paul Elam. I highly recommend purchasing this book if you are dealing with a high conflict ex. Check out all of the links mentioned in this episode on my blog: bandbartistry.org

As a new convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I wanted to keep an account of my "first time" experiences in real time. Being Fast Sunday, I thought this was a perfect opportunity to share the blessings I've received from my family who are deceased and my Friendly Ustick Ward family. I was able to go to the temple in Meridian, Idaho and perform baptisms for the dead. If you'd like to check out my blog go to: www.bandbartistry.org

I interviewed Zack Henson, the powerhouse personality behind the brand, Khaos Kreed. At 5' 3" I was interested in his perspective as a short male in our society and the stigmas associated with that. On the opposite side of the height spectrum as a 6' woman I wondered how much we'd have in common. Check out the episode to see for yourself. The correlating blog post is on bandbartistry.org
