It's finally happening!

If you know the name Cynthia Richards, you know this is going to an Oprah-level episode (seriously, she gives me so many glow ups, it's nutty).

Cynthia is a powerhouse of inspiration, who co-founded the events agency Event Spectrum (Hi Zora!). Here, she shows how some of the indelible ideas of connection are STILL essential in our media drenched universe. LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE!

Segment 01 - Likeability
Are you truly, honestly likeable? Why? How? Be conscious of this simple idea, and everything changes.

Segment 03 - Values

Segment 04 - The Commitment of Doing Nothing
Sure, we talk about "self care" and relaxation. Then we jump into the social media river and watch our anxiety spike. Here's an actual, honest-to-goodness guide to do less.

Every time I talk to Brandy Ryan, our 15 minute scheduled call turns into 90...and we have to force ourselves to stop talking to one another.

Segment 01 - Walking
Need to solve a problem...walk it off (but not in the sports-y kind of way).

It couldn't come at a worse time...
