    What goes into writing The Cross Quarter Mysteries with Louis Flint Ceci

    Engage with us via Text Message! This is my guest Louis Flint Ceci’s 2nd interview as he is promoting his newest book the Cross Quarter Mysteries. This book as the title indicates contains multiple mysteries and our wide ranging discussion moves from the writing of the novel itself to concepts within the book. We talk about how time and place become characters themselves. We discuss how faith and belief are as unique as each individual. We consider what it is like to stay in the mystery rather than  rushing to find a simple answer. Lewis has combined research and personal history  into a sweeping tapestry that is The Cross Quarter Mysteries I hope you will also find this discussion with the author Louis as fascinating as I do.  If you enjoyed this podcast please give us a rating and write a review where you listen to podcasts.

He’s filled with inspiring stories about songwriting and how he’s used his own experiences to overcome challenges, learn about himself, and find healing through various forms of expression and creative activities.

    Tapping into the power of Dreams using Poetry with Tim Xonnelly

    Engage with us via Text Message! I’m thrilled to have POET TIM XONNELLY join us! Tim’s just released a wonderful book of poetry called THE INVASION OF PANTOMIME. I’d say Tim is deeply connected to poetry. The conversation really took off when Tim talked about his connection to dreams and dreaming. Reading his book, it’s clear how much he values his dreams and how open he is to learning from them. I was also impressed by Tim’s genuine acceptance of what poetry does for him. He compares poetry readings to comedy shows, saying that in poetry, it’s perfectly okay to tackle heavy topics without trying to lighten the mood. That really shows how much respect Tim has for poetry. You’ll hear some of Tim’s pieces during our discussion, and I hope you’ll feel inspired to try your hand at writing your own poetry. I often feel inspired to be creative when I hear artistic expressions.  You can contact Tim at: mailto:xonnelly2012@gmail.com If you enjoyed this podcast please give us a rating and write a review where you listen to podcasts.

    Creative Engagement Christine Blosdale The Expert Authority Coach

    Engage with us via Text Message! From the very first moment, Christine Blosdale captured my attention! As I’ve been hosting this podcast for five years, I’ve received many requests from potential guests to be interviewed. I share this because I’m proud that I’ve created a program that people find valuable. I’ve also been fortunate and grateful that I haven’t found myself at odds with more than a couple potential guests. When I saw that Christine’s podcast is called the Expert Authority Coach, my instincts told me to pause and think, “Wait a minute!” The words “Expert” and “Authority” might just be red flags. So, I asked Christine a few more questions, and I’m so glad I did. I was thrilled to discover that beneath these seemingly questionable terms lies a warm invitation to explore confidence and authenticity, all while ensuring that each of us is recognized and valued for our unique contributions. I challenged myself to bring Christine on the program to step outside my comfort zone, and I’m glad I did.  Christine’s book is titled: The Social Media and Branding Survival Guide: Digital Marketing So Irresistible, Even Your Ex Will Want To Follow You https://amzn.to/4cgYMMy To find out more about Christine: http://www.expertauthoritycoach.com/ Book a FREE Expert Authority Evaluation - http://FreeExpertAuthorityCall.com If you enjoyed this podcast please give us a rating and write a review where you listen to podcasts.

    Encouragement Session Zacha Belok Leadership Coach, Facilitator, Somatic Practioner

    Engage with us via Text Message! Walking my guest, Zacha Belok, through this Encouragement Session, I felt a wave of hope wash over me. Zacha is a leadership coach, facilitator, and somatic practitioner whom I met at a Billy retreat. He was leading a multi-day workshop, and I could tell he had a deep understanding and a wealth of experience. What truly fills me with hope is Zacha’s honesty. It’s so rare in our modern world when leaders and teachers feel the pressure to be experts and have all the answers. Zacha brings a profound awareness that he’s guiding participants into new and innovative experiences, leading from a place of honesty and a willingness to learn. So, in encouraging Zacha, I feel uplifted by his honesty, wisdom, and reminded that my own process is to discover encouragement with each conversation.  For more information visit: https://zachabelokcoaching.com/ If you enjoyed this podcast please give us a rating and write a review where you listen to podcasts.

    Creative Engagement William Jaquet Musician Singer Songwriter

    Engage with us via Text Message! I found myself at a retreat in Devon, in the UK seated at a long table next to a wonderful singer songwriter William Jaquet, I knew I should invite him to be on this program right away. William is a very warm and friendly presence and on this rainy storm night we found a relatively quiet space to capture this conversation. I had heard William play in the evening the night before without knowing until later that he’s been a part of the band Luvcat on tour, and that he’s been writing and recording with his own band Big Society. Just hearing William’s beautiful voice with an acoustic guitar was quite a rich experience, I knew there must be a wonderful story lurking in there somewhere. I always end my interviews with words of encouragement from my guests and thankfully William allowed me to tease him a bit, because as you will hear I needed to hold his feet to the fire to get him to look beyond the grind of getting to a really well written song and to think of the miracles and benefits of investing in creativity. To me this speaks to his devotion to holding himself accountable and wanting to keep the bar as high as possible.  To find out more about William’s bands and music go to: Here’s the instagram for William's new act - https://www.instagram.com/beatendocket/ Here’s the instagram for William's band - https://www.instagram.com/thebigsocietyband/ If you enjoyed this podcast please give us a rating and write a review where you listen to podcasts.
