    Dale M. Kushner Interview | Wild Freedom | Fairy Tales, Carl Jung, Creativity & Transformation

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with acclaimed novelist, poet, essayist, and Jungian thinker Dale M. Kushner. During a personal crisis years ago, Dale wrote a fairy tale as a way to survive. Decades later, she returned to that story to explore a deeper question: What do fairy tales teach us about creativity, trauma, healing, and transformation. The result is her powerful new work, Wild Freedom: The Princess Who Found Her Name – On Fairy Tales, Imagination, and the Creative Mind, a unique blend of fairy tale, memoir, psychology, and personal reflection. Through this deeply insightful book, Dale examines imagination not as an escape from reality, but as a vital psychological, emotional, and spiritual practice. A longtime student of legendary psychiatrist Carl Jung, Dale draws from Jungian psychology, mythology, dreams, storytelling, and personal experience to illuminate the creative process and the search for an authentic self. She explores how creativity intersects with family, identity, motherhood, desire, and personal transformation. In this fascinating conversation, we discuss fairy tales, Jungian psychology, imagination, trauma recovery, creativity, mythology, dreams, storytelling, personal growth, spiritual development, and the lifelong journey toward self-discovery.  If you are interested in psychology, mythology, creativity, Carl Jung, writing, personal transformation, or the deeper meanings behind stories and symbols, this interview is for you.

    Sarah Collins Interview | Intuitive Life Coach on Mindfulness, Healing, Purpose & Living Fully

    Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with intuitive life coach, guide, and creator of Living Fully with Sarah, Sarah Collins. After spending more than 20 years as a successful civil engineer, Sarah discovered that professional achievement, external success, and constantly chasing the next milestone were not creating the lasting peace, fulfillment, or happiness she truly desired. Despite building a successful career, she quietly struggled with depression, overthinking, and the belief that happiness always existed somewhere in the future. Her search for deeper meaning led her into mindfulness, self-inquiry, spirituality, and an exploration of consciousness, identity, and what it truly means to be fully alive. Today, Sarah helps people recognize the limiting beliefs, unconscious thought patterns, and conditioned behaviors that keep them stuck. Through honest conversations, intuitive guidance, and self-inquiry, she empowers others to stop waiting for life and begin living with greater presence, authenticity, and inner peace. In this inspiring conversation, we discuss her remarkable transition from engineering to coaching, overcoming depression, mindfulness practices, personal transformation, spirituality, emotional healing, intuitive living, self-awareness, finding purpose, and how anyone can begin living more fully. If you're interested in mindfulness, mental wellness, self-discovery, spirituality, personal growth, coaching, or authentic living, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.
