Elegant Warrior Podcast with Heather Hansen Heather Hansen

On this episode of The Elegant Warrior Podcast, I have the pleasure of chatting with fellow book enthusiast Zibby Owens. Zibby is an author, podcaster, publisher, CEO, and mother of four. Zibby founded Zibby Owens Media, a privately-held media company designed to help busy people live their best lives by connecting to books and each other. Join us as we talk about her love of reading, her new book, and book therapy. 
Zibby tells me about how she became a writer and the huge effort that it took to get her latest book published, which is the story of her life as seen through the books she was reading at the time. She reveals why she doesn’t like rereading books and gives tips on how to make more time in your life for reading, even if you’re a busy mom. 
This episode is a must-listen for all bookworms and wannabe bookworms. If you enjoyed it, please follow or subscribe to The Elegant Warrior Podcast.

This week's episode is an interview with Tiffany Sorya, the founder and CEO of Novel Education Group which offers home school programs to children K-12 with the best homeschool teacher. She is a renowned influencer and thought leader in the education industry, widely recognized for spearheading a fundamental change in the way young people engage with education in the digital age. She’s worked with high-profile clients, including Kendall and Kylie Jenner.
In the interview, Tiffany shares the motivation behind her motto, "Making smart stylish again." We discuss the challenges of encouraging the youth to pursue basic education in a social media-driven world, and how it starts with making them feel comfortable enough to be vulnerable and admit when they don’t understand. Tiffany also talks about what led to her business decisions, and why she didn’t focus on the “what-ifs” when starting on her path.

In today’s episode, we have the pleasure of interviewing award-winning veteran journalist Ashleigh Banfield, host of “Banfield.” She has launched “Rising Tide: The Value in Mentoring Others,” a free monthly symposium featuring interviews with VIP leaders in the industry to share their advice to broadcast journalists of all ages and demographics. Her goal is for “Rising Tide” to be an opportunity for the next generation of professionals to improve their craft through mentorship and networking with those who have risen to the top.
In this interview, we will consider the impact that agenda has on the media and Ashleigh’s hopes to bring fairness back to news reporting. She shares the beauty in seeing the vulnerable side of tv anchors, how showing authentic emotions builds relationships with viewers, an outlook we can apply to our everyday lives. We also discuss how important it is that we show patience with ourselves just as much as with others. Additionally, Ashleigh shares her interesting take on the word ‘elegance.’
