Back to School with Crystal Bergfield

This is my first podcast and I talk about what's going on with the truth in this country. Nobody is discussing how our history and current actions affect us all. I'm discussing a few of them here. Let's start a conversation and talk about changing what doesn't work for us. Common sense, not political debating is the way to solve our problems. You can find the rest of the curriculum at my PatreonJoin me there and continue the learning

This episode discusses the evolution of work in our country. I discuss how our mistreatment of former slaves is relevant to our need to move toward clean energy today. Will we learn from our lessons past or will we continue the cycles of abuse and ignorance? We need intelligence to move forward in our country and ensure that all Americans are able to survive and thrive in these difficult times.You can find the rest of the curriculum at my PatreonJoin me there and continue the learning

Hi friends. Part of this podcast is story-telling. Stories allow us all to see how similar we really are. This episode I sit down with a young and passionate animal rights activist who was taught to use her passions to drive her contributions in society. But, as you will hear, she doesn't feel so supported in our country right now to be the passionate, service-driven woman she really is. Can anyone else relate?You can find the rest of the curriculum at my PatreonJoin me there and continue the learning

This week I hosted a panel discussion with some intelligent folks. We gathered around the table and talked about our value. Our country values our ability to produce for the economy; but in a discussion about jobs and wages, we found ourselves avoiding our monetary worth. The question is: what is our worth?You can find the rest of the curriculum at my PatreonJoin me there and continue the learning

Can we all afford the American dream any more? Is there still an American dream? And who is responsible to ensure that we as Americans are being paid what we are worth? There seems to be a shift happening in what we value. How do we move forward?You can find the rest of the curriculum at my PatreonJoin me there and continue the learning

The 3rd week of March I dive into how we stack up with the rest of the world concerning our jobs. In this episode I discuss what work we do most here in the U.S., how much we are working and what the rest of the world is doing and valuing when it comes to work. As Ricky would say, (America) "You have some splainin to do!"Make sure you comment on the episodes if they make you feel some sort of way! I want to hear about it. (Except bullying, nobody wants to hear about that.)Also, check out my Patreon page. This podcast is part of the curriculum, so check in there to get the rest of it!

I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Tori Rerick for this episode. We were out of studio for this episode and I can assure you that the child in the background was being supervised by another adult. ;-)For this week's story-telling, I wanted to highlight the need for paid maternity leave. Did you know that over 50 countries, ones doing quite well financially, have over 6 months of paid maternity leave? So many reasons why this is a good idea. But, every good idea must be supported by the people to gain any foothold in politics. What do you think? Do we need it?Also, check out my Patreon page.

For our final week on jobs, I wanted to highlight a local small business owner who has made it her mission to empower others through healing and offering an affordable space for other healers to do their work. Armed with her education, knowledge, and experience, Leanne Holitza is making an impact in her community. Please enjoy our conversation about the struggles and the joys of owning a small business. And then, take a moment to understand the value of community businesses and how you contribute to their success or failure. Shine on friends.
