    THE VOICE OF PIGLET AND THE POWER OF FEAR

    Piglet is terrified of everything. And he's the bravest one in the Hundred Acre Wood. Traci Donnelly sits down with Travis Oates, who has voiced Piglet for nearly 20 years, for a conversation that goes much deeper than animation. They talk about the difference between real fear and false fear, why we're taught to tamp down the emotions that actually protect us, and what it looks like to keep moving forward when everything in you is screaming to stop. It's a conversation for anyone who has ever shown up anyway.

    FOR WOMEN BY WOMEN

    Traci Donnelly sits down with Ani B. Packard, the inaugural Executive Director of Visionary Women, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it takes to build an organization that actually scales. Ani brings a rare vantage point: experience across the private, public, and philanthropic sectors, and she's spent the last several years translating that into something concrete at Visionary Women. In this episode, she and Traci go deep on what growth looks like when mission is the product, how the landscape for impact-driven work has fundamentally shifted, and what it means to lead as a woman in a sector that has always asked women to carry the most while offering them the least.

    WHY SUMMER CAMP IN 2026?

    In this special summer episode kicking off Season Two, Michael Tessler steps in for Traci Donnelly to interview someone who has made a real impact on his own life: Pete Hare, Executive Director of the Keewaydin Foundation. Tessler isn't a neutral host on this one. He went to Camp Keewaydin. This place shaped him. And in this conversation, he and Pete make the case that 130 years of tradition isn't a history lesson. It's an answer to a very current problem. They talk about screens, about what gets lost when kids never unplug, and about why the woods, water, and shining green canoes still provide something that AI can never replace.
