Join us for our discussion with Joni Pflumm, who models a lifetime of service. Growing up in a family who owned a funeral home, Joni was taught the importance of serving others at an early age. She internalized her parents' example and is now guiding others to reach out and make the world around us a better place. Joni says to, "Use your life experience to help others get through the lows and enjoy the highs of life. If you really want to receive joy and happiness, serve others with your heart."

Perseverance...the word usually has a negative connotation.

Join us as we talk with Amy Sampson, who is incredibly accomplished as an Ironman, Boston Marathoner, English teacher, winner of 11 Fullbright Grants, and worldwide traveler. In the midst of living a full life, Amy has been through so very much. On our podcast, Amy transparently shares the depths of her struggles and lots of inspiration to help all of us get through this day-to-day thing we call life. She talks about a balanced approach to depression by not focusing on one thing to get through it, but rather focusing on many things to put together the pieces of the puzzle to health and wellness.

Join us for a very honest, beautiful discussion on dealing with grief. Karen Houck lost her daughter, Alyssa, in November of 2011. She describes her grief as 'a bag of rocks that you carry with you wherever you go.' After laying on the couch for many months, she realized she couldn't quit, so she started Alyssas Wishes, an organization dedicated to preserving the memory of her daughter by focusing on acts of kindness, fostering community connections, and promoting literacy. One of those acts of kindness includes painting rocks with words of encouragement and leaving them for others to find. You can read more about Karen's organization at www.alyssaswishes.org
