    A Creative's Journey From Passion to Purpose with Robert Young

    Welcome to Shaping Freedom, I’m your host Lisane Basquiat. A question that we all need to be asking is how we can find the balance in the passion and purpose that drives us all. How do we find true fulfillment in all aspects of our lives? Today we are welcoming Robert Young, a legacy filmmaker, host of the Bright and Shining Podcast, and founder of R7 Holdings to explore this question. Together we are going to reexamine the intersections of creativity, mental wellness, and passion in our professions and social connections.

    When Our Emotions Need Space w/Abby Kamen

    Today, on Shaping Freedom, I sit down with author, speaker, mother, and someone so full of love and wisdom, Abby Kamen. Coming hot off the release of her new book Generation We, we discuss how trauma can affect us all. While not all trauma may be created equal, we are all equal in the baggage that we carry in the aftermath of our pasts.  In this powerful episode, we discuss how reexamining the relationship with our trauma can help us to reconnect with a kinder and more forgiving version of ourselves, how her son’s challenges in finding his place in the world helped her to redefine what it means to be human and actually taking the time to feel the grief we all experience.

    Challenge Your Beliefs And Change Your Life with Chukky Okobi

    Today, on Shaping Freedom, I have the honor of welcoming an incredible athlete, NLP practitioner, and personal friend, Chukky Okobi. Chukky isn’t your typical mental and spiritual guide, at least not on the surface.  Chukky started his career as an NFL player for the Pittsburgh Steelers, but after his time in the professional sports world, he felt that his own personal life was lacking a sense of direction and clarity.  This is where he discovered the power of neuro-linguistic programming, how to restructure the ways that we talk with ourselves, and how we define ourselves. Together we will sit down with Chukky to explore his life after the NFL, what he discovered about spiritualism, how we think about our self-identity, and how to rethink our lives after our careers change.
