A Tip For Keeping it Positive (w/ Amanda B.)

Guest tipper Amanda B shares a refreshingly simple way to navigate conversations when you don't share someone's enthusiasm. Instead of dismissing what brings someone joy, try saying "I love that that makes you happy." It keeps the dialogue flowing without dampening anyone's excitement. Amanda B. (she/her) is the writer, host and producer of 6 Degrees of Cats, the world's #1 cat-themed culture, history and science podcast. She leverages her background in research, mental health advocacy, professional development and trauma-informed violence prevention to thoughtfully connect topics as disparate as sainthood, Vikings and Valentine's Day to the world's most populous domesticated pet (...or are they?). Amanda has consulted in education programming and audio production for clients such as The Edmund W. Gordon Institute for Advanced Study at Columbia University and The Podcast Academy and volunteers for LGBTQ+-affirming youth mental health non-profit OkaySo. Amanda is also a musician - she leads NYC-based rock 'n' roll band, Leathered and has supported major recording artists as a guitarist on international stages. The team does not appreciate her impromptu serenades. Editing by Megan Bagala. Music is by Marcus Thorne Bagala. Find us everywhere at https://dailytipspodcast.com.
