Rebecca and Dan explore what adventure education is and why making it accessible matters. Dan challenges common assumptions about barriers, how adventure activities become powerful teaching moments for perseverance and problem-solving, and how everyone can find success on the same adventure in different ways.

Lisa Tilstra: The Transformational Power of Personal Storytelling

Lisa Tilstra is a coach, podcaster, and storytelling enthusiast who describes herself as a "creative disrupter." After years of telling stories without recognizing their value, Lisa now understands storytelling's power for transformation, healing, and connection. Through her podcast "Make Life Less Difficult" and storytelling workshops, Lisa helps others navigate complexity through personal narrative.

Rebecca and Lisa explore how to tell better stories that invite genuine connection. Lisa challenges listeners to notice how often their stories focus on others rather than themselves, encouraging us to "pull back the metaphorical curtain" and share more personal narratives. They discussed effective story endings, how single moments can be complete stories, and the art of deep listening. Lisa reminds us that "the more specific a story, the more universal."

What if divorce could be a path to healing, rather than harm? In this conversation, attorney Nanci Smith offers a window into the world of collaborative divorce—a non-adversarial approach designed to help families navigate separation with dignity, empathy, and support. Drawing on over 30 years of experience and themes from her book Untangling Your Marriage: A Guide to Collaborative Divorce, we explore why divorce is more than just a legal process- it's a life transition that deserves the same care and recognition as any other major rite of passage. This episode invites listeners to reimagine what divorce can look like when conflict gives way to collaboration.
