Bio:
Registered Nurse by training but in my heart, I have always been an alternative wellness practitioner. Certified Kripalu yoga instructor and therapist, I also teach adaptive yoga for M.S. and Parkinsons disease, Reiki, and Manual Lymphatic drainage. I enjoy painting and travel; I was a nomad before that word became popular. Thailand, India, Brazil, Peru, and the Caribbean...I have my sights set on Africa in the near future. 

Podcast Highlights:
 
Joie started traveling internationally with her kids when they were young, staying in places for months at a time. This inspired her nomadic lifestyle.

The pandemic was a catalyst for Joie to leave the US and settle in Oaxaca, Mexico. Loving the sense of community and culture there.

Tips for getting started. First, visiting a place you want to live is ideal. Many alternatives for housing include Housesitting, Airbnb’s and connecting with people living in the community.

Joie’s biggest takeaway is increased self-love, gratitude and trusting herself. Travel helped her learn to nurture herself and connect deeply with who she is. And learned to build and keep friends’ long term by establishing a community. Contact: serenityoftime@gmail.com

Bio:
 
Don Kilcoyne, a versatile performer, earned his first acting paycheck in 1991 as a pirate at a local Renaissance Festival. His extensive career spans off-Broadway, TV, film, regional festivals, folk band performances, and improv teaching. Immersed in the pirate theme, he created environments for the New York and Maine Renaissance Faires, sang and played percussion for The Crimson Pirates for 20 years, and published three supernatural thrillers. In addition to crafting bespoke entertainments for local businesses, coaching improv, and working as a marketing creative director.
 
The Birth of Nasty Nick Bellows
Don Kilcoyne's creative journey as Nasty Nick Bellows showcased his whimsical style, but personal struggles and a loss of direction emerged as he neared his late twenties.

Sad Turns and Creative Recharge
During his father's battle with cancer, Don found solace in his creative work as Nasty Nick Bellos, using weekends to recharge while supporting his family.

Navigating Challenges and Messines
Don struggled with feedback initially but credits his wife, Kelly, and former boss, Carlos Casado, for improving his listening and reflection skills. He values improvisation training for turning challenges into self-improvement opportunities and stresses openness to personal growth, recognizing triggers, and broadening perspectives.

Pirates as Good Guys
Don reframes pirates as often being the 'good guys' in history, fighting against oppressive navies with democratic and socialist principles. He highlights legendary female pirates like Anne Bonny and Mary Reed, known for their strategic prowess, challenging stereotypes associated with piracy.

Currrent Projects and Upcoming Events
Current projects, including the Maine Renaissance Fair, a fun beer review project called 'BrewVint” on YouTube with his wife, and collaborations with the Trailing Tap House in Greenwood Lake and the Maine Renaissance Fair. Contacts:
