Join me for an eye-opening, inspirational, and stimulating conversation with the brilliant Agi Sardi. A true innovator in the world of STEM and IT, she is on a mission to educate and inspire women and girls to follow in her dynamic footsteps. Agi is passionate about equal rights and ridding the world of racism, prejudice, and intolerance, and her beautiful spirit shines through the screen and to everyone who is lucky enough to cross her path. Agi’s Book Recommendations For Human Rights Advancement: Caste by Isabel Wilkerson The Sum of Us by Heather McGee The 1619 Project: A New Origin Story How to be an AntiRacist by Ibrim X. Kendi The Nordic Theory of Everything – In Search of a Better Life by Anu Partanen For the Mind and Spirit: One Day My Soul Just Opened Up by Iyanla Vanzant The writings of Pema Chodrön and Jon Cabot-Zinn. Notes from Agi: The writings of the anti-racism/Black Lives Matter authors above shine the light not only on the importance of equality for all, but the importance of social democracy for an equitable future (e.g. diminishing the cruelty of capitalism). Anu Partanen’s book and podcast are so informative on how we, especially WOMEN, can work toward those goals. https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/re-imagining-capitalism-anu-partanen-trevor-corson/id1445901378?i=1000465248727 https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vUFBZNTY2NzY3ODY3NA/episode/M2ZkMDc3N2EtMWQ4NC0xMWVjLThiYmEtNjdjNzU5NzJkNDk0?hl=en&ved=2ahUKEwiGp92E-Mj2AhWJjokEHfzwA0EQjrkEegQIAhAF&ep=6 LEARNING FROM THE WORLD’S HAPPIEST COUNTRY: Reasons to be Finnish https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/reasons-to-be/186-learning-from-the-worlds-HMOpzhQ2L_V/

Join me for an incredibly inspirational interview with Susan Werrick. After a divorce she decided to transform herself, physically and mentally, to become a championship bodybuilder and entrepreneur.

She gives spectacular advice on how she makes choosing happiness a priority in her life, and how she is taking the gifts of the past year into a new chapter for her, her family, and her tremendously distinguished and successful career.

A beautiful combination of motivational insights and pure joy; I know you will enjoy our talk as much as I did.
