The Naked Conversation Podcast BB

I had the honor of interviewing this incredible individual about living with a limb difference and how her YouTube channel, Stump Kitchen, evolved into a sacred space for communities around the world, and how it is giving voice to those that never had one.


In this naked conversation, she gives us the backstory on how Stump Kitchen came to be, shares about finding love and raising a child, and talks about letting go of the judgments and perceptions of others.


Alexis joins us from Edmonton, Canada.

How does one find the courage to pursue one's dreams, to leave the comforts of home for a new, foreign place, to give it your all and surrender to passion?


I’m pleased to go down memory lane and reconnect with a high school friend from Hawaii, Viet Vo. I reached out to Viet for an interview because he left Hawaii for NYC to pursue acting.


Viet has been living in NYC for 14 years and has been in TV productions, theater shows, and commercials.


In this naked conversation, he talks about the chain of three events that pushed him to take a leap of faith and move to NYC. He shares what it was like landing his dream role after his sixth attempt in the theater production, Vietgone, and reveals what it is like being an Asian-American actor.


Viet joins us from New York City

From a young age, Donovan had one mission and that was to stay alive.


At birth, he was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) and believed that his time on earth was much shorter than the rest of his peers. So much so that at the age of 13, he asked his mom if he should write a will. But he woke up one day and after he had received a double lung transplant and realized he was going to live.


This September he will celebrate 13 years post double lung transplant.


In this conversation, Donovan talks about what it was like to find meaning and purpose in his life after his surgery, talks about survivor's guilt, and shares his passion for his work in addiction and counseling.
