She is a contributing author to the “Writers Of Meaning” book, and the host of the Nara Fellowship and Writers Of Meaning podcasts. Professionally, Valerie worked in film, video, and radio as a production manager and producer for over 30 years with her father and brother. Some of the media projects to which she contributed were with Hanna-Barbera, Putnam Berkley, and Turner Entertainment. LionHawk Entertainment is her production company, for which she records digital legacy keepsakes for her clients and their loved ones.In this discussion, we explore Valerie's experiences with the concept of community, including a fascinating type of community called Estuary which exists internationally and facilitates learning through the presenting of different perspectives and healthy disagreement. As is always valuable, we emphasise having the humility to understand that our beliefs are not perfect ― and that listening to others' perspectives is essential to understanding how our own beliefs operate.Find Valerie's work here:https://valerieflynn.comhttps://writersofmeaning.comhttps://narafellowship.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@WritersOfMeaninghttps://lionhawkentertainment.comPrefer to listen elsewhere?
