Conversations with Friends

Putting up Episode 4, after a bit of a gap! Honored to have Adam Gohn, Creator of the podcast “Conversations and Higher Vibrations” as a guest on my podcast, Conversations with Friends! Adam starts by discussing the relaxed nature of the podcast and his intention of exploring lived experiences leading to life insights. We talk about Adam's path to spiritual healing and growing awareness, which began online through social media connections and his engagement in spiritual content, plus more. Adam shares his process of giving up alcohol, finding inner peace through therapy and spirituality, and how he started practicing healing sessions. He explains various spiritual practices, emphasizing the power of declarations over traditional prayers, and shares successes from his healing sessions, including a few where he helped his own children. Both Adam and I reflect on the significance of family, authentic connections, the importance of the biofield and balancing the spiritual with everyday life. I share a profound experience with spiritual healing, showcasing the transformative power of belief and intention.

In this episode of 'Conversations with Friends,' I have the pleasure and honor of interviewing "punk rock" Lisa Nicoll, a multidisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, New York. We have quite a talk about her creative journey and delve into her artistic endeavors in writing, photography, musical composition, and theater. Lisa shares her experiences with the sacredness of space, liminality, and how real-world elements influence her creative process. She has a passion for punk rock that she taps for a burst of rebel yell energy,  holding boundaries and remembrance of her full spectrum hue-man. We also touch upon each of our paths to greater awareness, the significance of authenticity in art, and the intersection of mysticism and daily life. Additionally, I read one of Lisa's compellingly awesome poems and discuss its profound impact. Lisa also turns the tables and asks me some pertinent questions that make this back and forth so rich with syncronicty and insight. This episode is filled with deep reflections, artistic insights, and the joy of true connection.

In the first episode of 'Conversations with Friends', host Jill Woodworth sits down with Tonya Matthews to discuss her profound journey as a passionate, big hearted individual who takes seriously the value of every child. While she is a former foster mom, and that is the majority of what we discuss on this episode, Tonya has had a multitude of lived experience, from which she has learned and grown and continues to operate in many realms. She brings this depth into everything she does. In this interview, Tonya shares her experiences caring for children with significant needs, navigating the intricacies and systemic challenges of the foster care system, and the emotional highs and lows of fostering and adopting. The episode dives into topics such as the impact of faith, maintaining relationships with biological parents, and the resilience required in foster parenting and systemic breakdown and compartmentalization that creates challenges that are not necessarily for the good of anyone involved. Tonya operates with much finesse holding this knowing and working against the grain to do what is right and from the heart. This candid and heartfelt conversation highlights the dedication of foster parents and the lasting impact they have on children's lives.00:00 Introduction to Conversations with Friends02:48 Meet Tonya Matthews: A Former Foster Mom04:46 Tonya's Journey into Foster Care07:04 Challenges and Rewards of Foster Parenting09:34 Navigating the Foster Care System3:57 Advocacy and Systemic Issues22:25 Personal Reflections and Parenting Lessons31:51 Reflecting on Parenting Challenges32:42 Joyful Moments with Foster Babies33:54 Medical Challenges and Learning36:10 Genetic Disorders and Their Impact40:23 Navigating the Foster Care System44:37 Deciding to Adopt52:04 Faith and Community Support56:38 Conclusion and Future Plans
