I am so grateful for the opportunity to interview Kyle Flemming. Welcome and join us as we learn from Kyle as to how he achieved success pretty early in life; the American dream for most of us. However, said success did not bring him fulfillment; it brought about restlessness and discomfort even as Kyle was enjoying and living the experiences he had fixated on and dreamed about for years. This set about quite a journey of exploring his mental health through different modalities, until the pandemic hit. The pandemic upturned the previous narratives and exposed Kyle to meditation and personal development in ways he was never exposed to before. A few years down the road, Kyle was led to take on the commitment of embarking on a 10 full day silent meditation retreat in the snowy mountains of Northern California. Join us as we learn from Kyle about his journey through life and within.

Most "able-bodied" people will experience limitations and disabilities as the river of our life transforms; yet we feel this resistance to learn and integrate ourselves more into understanding the experiences of people who have grappled with disabilities. Her trials and tribulations aside, Nina is a powerhouse of inspiration and triumph over the darkness she grappled with as a young woman. I am so honored to share her story and bring to light her advocacy around making life easier for those who are as special as she is. She is a trailblazer not only as a woman comedian, an area still dominated by men; but she is also helping to transform what it means to be a woman with a very special voice. You can support and reach out to Nina @ <a href="https://www.ninagcomedian.com/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(17, 85, 204); background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);">https://www.ninagcomedian.com/</a> Love and Light to our audience!
