Your Fellow Human

Lianna Marie

These interview style episodes are all about the way we as people view life, the things we love and the things that cause us pain, the way we think, hope, and fear. We each hold a unique place in this world, complete with our own dreams, culture, and perspective. It is the individual stories of those I meet along my journey that shape the way I see the world. I’m excited to share these stories with you and hope they allow you to fall in love with humanity as they have for me.

I got to meet violet here in Turkey, but it is a place that was meant to be temporary for her, yet one she has grown up in. We chat about life in search of freedom, of dreams that we can feel we are meant to let go of, and how when they are meant for us they find us again. she shares about growing up as an immigrant, about the times she used to plan how she might live as a teen, and how that changed and she has found gratitude in what life has become. She shares why finding one win per day is all we need to keep growing, how joy can at times feel like something we should put aside, and how we get to make the most of what life is and how gratitude increases the joy we have. We chat about how a timeline is our own, how we aren’t behind but pursuing the life set for us, how learning can combat fear, and how we are always in control of how we choose to see things, how we choose to understand something, and how we have empathy for others around us. Violet is one that will smile and say hello with a spark that reminds you getting to meet someone is a gift, she is someone who will remind you that your dreams should be chased, that people should be treated with kindness, and that knowledge really is powerful So tune in today and meet Violet, a human that will remind you to be human, to love yourself, but never lose sight of loving others, and to hold on to what you have near you that feels like home  And to you Violet thank you, thank you for letting me ask you questions, for being so warm when I met you, for making the time and being so real in allowing me to learn more about your story and who you are. You are such sweet soul and one that I am honored to know. I can’t wait to see what you continue to create in this world

    Did you settle in life or are you living the way you will look back on with peace? Today I want to introduce you to Haley, I just met this sweet girl and I will never stop being grateful for how friends bring new friends into my life.
