Debbie Deming: on Furniture Tipping

moving the podcast – interview from May 20, 2014

~~~

Episode 26. Debbie and I talk about the startlingly high number of children who are killed or injured by furniture tipping over on them. Debbie shares her personal story of loss, and talks about the organization she and her husband founded to prevent other people from losing the children they love.

“It just didn’t feel right to live with that knowledge and let other parents who don’t know the dangers just go about their life, and just hope that they’re not the next ones.”

8:30 ~ common questions Cherie is asked
12:00 ~ honesty and vulnerability
16:45~ the stigma of “lonely”

Asia Nelson: on Yoga and Other Adventures

moving the podcast – interview from January 28, 2014

~~~

Episode 23. Asia talks to me about yoga and about her experience hosting an international travel tv series. She also shares all about the business she built around her passions for yoga, learning and teaching other people. I learn that yoga is really a mind-body workout, with physical, mental and emotional benefits, and that it’s perfectly okay to be multi-passionate!

“It’s a living thing, you know? It is an actual relationship that you’re developing with yourself. So as long as there is something more for me to learn and to accept and to move through, then there will always be a role for yoga within my life.”

0:00 ~ 26 countries in 9 months
9:45 ~ “television is not an easy industry”
14:15 ~ finding yoga (by accident)
20:35 ~ a mind-body workout
32:05 ~ Pranalife Yoga and Teacher Training
38:20 ~ finding your bliss

A clip I had to cut for length, where we talk about being multi-passionate:
