Grown Up

This past year has been quite challenging for me. As the final few episodes approach, I'll be reflecting on the podcast's progress over the past 4 years, discussing my current journey, and preparing for the new year. In this second part of the Reflect and Reset series, I'll be talking about embracing honesty, acknowledging my flaws, and striving to be a better person based on the lessons I've learned. Unfortunately, we won't have any N.O.W. Spotlight Artists to feature as we head into the new year, but I'm working on a great lineup to kick things off with a bang! If you have any suggestions for independent artists, please feel free to send an email. I would love to check them out and show my support.

On this month's episode of Grown Up, I bring back Certified Life Coach Esther Murray! The last time she was here, we discovered her amazing personality and learned about the role of a life coach and the potential benefits they offer if you consider seeking outside help. For her second time back, Esther and I had a casual conversation like two old friends who have known each other forever. Although I had to take some parts out for time constraints, we discussed various topics, from personal growth to perceived failures that were blessings in disguise on our journey. Esther is truly an amazing spirit and you can hear that throughout the episode. I encourage you to take in every word of this conversation and stay to the end so you can catch the wave of the N.O.W.

In this episode of Grown Up, I discuss a topic that has come up many times for me during this self-discovery season: authenticity. In the show's first half, I talk about a part of myself that I have consciously not shared based on fears and worries. As I eventually would discover, it was truly all in my head, and having this talk with myself put so much into perspective. Later on, I am joined by a guest who is fearless in his own right. Actor, screenwriter, and producer Jonathan Burke joins the podcast to discuss his entrepreneurial journey in the TV, Film, and Broadway industry. We discussed his first memory of discovering his passion, how he has built himself up, and more. Of course, at the end of each episode, we feature a new artist for the N.O.W. spotlight segment.
