ThriveMind Studio Podcast: EP9 - Finding a Way Forward

EP 9: Finding a Way Forward Featuring Maya Frost & Eric Cooper In this episode, host Courtney Finstad is joined by Maya Frost, founder of Collapse Forward, for a meaningful conversation about grief, mindfulness, anxiety, and finding a way forward through life’s challenges. Together, they explore how curiosity, imagination, and simple daily practices can help us navigate uncertainty, build resilience, and reconnect with a greater sense of agency and possibility. Drawing from her own experiences with profound loss and transformation, Maya shares practical insights on mindfulness, the power of noticing what is present, and the importance of creating space for reflection in a world filled with constant noise and distraction. This conversation is a reminder that healing does not require perfection or certainty—only a willingness to pay attention, remain curious, and take the next step forward. In our Voices of Impact Nonprofit Spotlight, we are honored to feature Eric Cooper, President and CEO of the San Antonio Food Bank. This conversation highlights the realities of food insecurity and the critical role community organizations play in supporting families in need. Together, we explore how innovative programs, strategic partnerships, and a commitment to both feeding people today and creating pathways for long-term stability are helping build stronger, healthier communities across South Texas. This podcast is sponsored by Kalypso Publishing and proudly produced by Techne Innovations. Watch here on YouTube or listen on your favorite podcast platform: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3Lz2MzP... Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast... Amazon/Audible: https://www.audible.com/podcast/Thriv... Learn more about Maya Frost: https://mayafrost.com Connect with Maya on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayafrost Learn more about the San Antonio Food Bank: https://safoodbank.org Support the San Antonio Food Bank: https://safoodbank.org/give
