    Today's guest is: Erin Lingo

    Erin Lingo is an Embodied Leadership and Somatic Coach, a yoga teacher, nonprofit leader, partner, and parent, and the founder and principal coach of Erin Lingo Somatics. After 15 years in nonprofit leadership, her growing awareness of her own "stuckness" coincided with the challenges and opportunities of the COVID pandemic; her curiosity took her into a deep study of somatics, embodied leadership, coaching models, and mindfulness to ultimately coalesce in a coaching practice that emphasizes leadership and personal influence, nervous system regulation for the benefit of ourselves and our communities, internal awareness and emotional literacy, and freeing ourselves from old patterns. Erin incorporates somatics, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, movement, and leadership best practices into her coaching work, customized for each client's needs. She believes in building leadership capacity from within, using a holistic, trauma-informed approach that combines mind, heart, and body to help leaders – within or outside of an organizational context – to lead differently, increase their own skills of resilience and care, and better navigate work challenges, personal relationships, and community engagements with integrity and alignment with their values. www.erinlingosomatics.com

    Today's guest is: Heather Eijzenga

    There was a sudden rainstorm at the playground. Heather ran for cover and that’s when she saw it - a small camera, rusting under the slides. Water dripped from the viewfinder as she held it up to her eight-year-old cheek and saw the world in a frame for the first time. Although hooked on images, she didn’t set out to become a photographer. Instead, she went into biology, traveling and working in wildlife conservation until finally, ending up in Hawaii. After her son was born, she circled back to the viewfinder, which had been using to photograph wildlife, and started using it to photograph the wildest life of all - families. Heather loves the chaos, energy, and little gestures inherent to each family. She is fascinating how these movements can be so beautiful. Now, Heather has been photographing local and visiting families in Hawaii for over 12 years. She takes them on mini adventures where they play and explore. Best of all she sees their world in frame for the first time, and helps them see just how beautiful it is. hilittlebird.com

    Today's guest is: Martin Fitzgibbon

    Musician, songwriter, singer and author Martin Fitzgibbon was introduced to the art of drumming aged 8. By the age of 16, he had ventured into the uncertain, exciting and precarious world of the professional musician, playing in every kind of venue including a few he was reluctant to admit to his Catholic mother. Fitzgibbon explains, “You did what you had to do just to get by. I played in Soho nightclubs for a while and there were some pretty unsavoury characters you had to deal with, but as a kid it was a great education in many different ways”
    Money has never been a real motivation either. He says “Sure you need and deserve to get paid for what you do, but I enjoy musical variety and if I liked the sound of a proposition, I said yes first and then found out what numeration was going to be later” As a result he has no regrets and has worked in almost every musical genre, in many parts of the world, whilst pursuing his craft.
    The drummer in the original production of The Rocky Horror Show, which
    premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in London alongside Tim Curry and Richard O’Brien, among others, Fitzgibbon continues to perform and is currently preparing to record a solo album due for release in early 2025

    Today's guest is: Kristine Jenson

    Kristine Jenson has been practicing yoga and meditation for over 30 years and learned the art of mala making 10 years ago. As friends and family began to ask Kristine to create malas, necklaces, and bracelets for them, she decided that she should explore the idea of opening a business. Not wanting to be just another commercialized business, she meditated on the idea of how to make it something more meaningful. The message she received loud and clear was to make the business be about her beloved niece Devon, who died from a heart defect in 2003. Since she opened Jenson Natural Jewelry in 2017, she has been able to share Devon’s story worldwide and has created a legacy in her name by donating 10% of her business profits to Children’s Hospital in Devon’s memory as well as to other non-profits that Kristine cares about. She has been able to take the heartbreak of losing her niece into a company that spreads hope and love to the world. www.jensonnaturaljewelry.com

Marianna seeks to inspire, educate and lead people on journey's of highlighting developing self-awareness and mindfulness through ancient wisdom incorporating Vedic teachings, Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, and Stoicism to support mental, spiritual and physical wellbeing. Marianna believes a big component to healing is understanding our nervous system to get regulate and tap into the parasympathetic state to allow oneself to heal. Marianna's current offering's include an e-book called "Unraveling: Understanding the layers of self through through yoga and yogic philosophy to promote mental wellness" which looks at how the different limbs of yoga can support mental wellness and how understanding our different layers of self (koshas) can also bring about homeostasis in the mind, body and soul. https://www.theconsciouseducator.ca/
