Dreams and Detours is a show about the life we thought we were going to have vs the one we are living. We all have a story. I share mine and I speak to others about following their dreams, or getting derailed entirely. And then getting back up again. Life is hard and messy and joyful. The choices we make in our 20's and 30's are not always the ones we want to stick with in our 40's or 50's. Inevitably we come to crossroads, more often than not. If we let fear hold us back, the result can be tremendous dissatisfaction. But if we take the leap toward our dreams, well then, the adventure really begins.

    EPISODE 1

    My Life: A Plot Twist

    In this episode we hear from New York native Daniel Joshua Rubin that life in Hollywood is not all it’s cracked up to be. Expressing his creativity was a principle Daniel was encouraged to do from a young age. Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, he learned early that if you’re going to do something, do it right! This included having an Orthodox Bar Mitzvah even though his family were not religious. Daniel has been a storyteller for over 30 years, getting his start at Steppenwolf Theater in Chicago, with plays produced in Chicago, NYC and London, before heading to LA where he wrote for popular television series on NBC and WB networks. He has collaborated with award-winning artists, further shaping his craft. In the end, Dan walked away from the glitz of Hollywood and shares why it’s not so glamorous after all and what he's discovered instead. Coming soon: Daniel Joshua Rubin's 27 Essential Principles of Story, Master the Secrets of Great Storytelling, from Shakespeare to South Park (Workman Publishing, Spring 2020) Daniel Joshua Rubin’s Social Media links Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/danieljoshuarubin/ Twitter -  https://twitter.com/DanJoshuaRubin Website -  https://www.danieljoshuarubin.com Medium - https://medium.com/@DanJoshuaRubin   Thanks for listening!

    (Re)Ignite Your Fire

    Susan Montanaro, host of Dreams & Detours shares her perspective on being who you were meant to be and not letting life bury you. When our fire has been dampened by another or self-sabotage, our lives are often filled with discomfort and dis-ease. We are meant to bloom naturally, and when we don’t allow ourselves that freedom, it’s almost as if we are not fully breathing or living at all. Thanks for listening!

    Conscious Living with Bev Ehrlich

    Bev Ehrlich is a certified transformational coach helping people to get clear on what it is they really want by guiding them into deeper self-awareness. Her approach is to help clients get out of their head and into their real life, to drop down into their bodies and feelings through contemplative, meditative and prayer practices. We discuss our theories on best practices as coaches and how that differs from conventional therapy.
