85. A Conversation about Worthiness - with special guest Tom Stodulka

This episode is about worthiness and my special guest is Tom Stodulka – author of ‘Life is a Dance’. We chat about the qualities of worthiness, resilience, and how to stay in that space of openness in a time when your life is very challenging.  I also read Tom’s poem called “An Ode to Kindness”. Tom was born in Bathurst, NSW in 1951, in one of Australia’s post WWII refugee camps, a huge improvement on the UN Displaced Person’s Camp in Naples where his brother Andrea was born. In 1976 whilst at sea in the Pacific Ocean with the Navy he wrote his first poem and found a way to express his own artistic creativity. Life, love and work intertwine with nature in a unique series of poems. No matter what the day-to-day challenges are, as life unfolds from youth to almost three score & 10, Tom tries to face each day with positivity. Journey with Tom through tales of Australian life, discover local flora and fauna and learn from his experiences in his work as a mediator. Tom shares his deep appreciation of nature, his passion for his work and takes the reader on a journey through life. Tom’s two books are called ‘Life is a dance’ and ‘Storm Clouds & Silver Linings – my journey’.  To get your copy of Tom’s books you can go to: www.tomstodulkaauthor.com If you’d like to be interviewed on the Finding Your Soul podcast, you can book in for a 30-minute complimentary ‘what’s it all about’ chat here: https://bookings.gettimely.com/pipcoleman/bb/book
