Our conversations are a deep dive into how our guests share and expand upon their unique divinely-given gifts and talents to uplift, ignite and inspire, heal, and give joy to the world.
As we Listen Up to hear their message, we also Listen In to hear what our own heart tells us, guides us, moves us to do.
As we Listen Up and Listen In, we come to realize that we are all interdependent, and that we are all interconnected by a Higher Good that loves us into being our best for ourselves and others.

Meg Zucker shares how she wrote her book Born Extraordinary for parents of children with differences to learn “how best to empower their children.” Born with “one finger on each hand… and one toe on each misshapen foot,” Meg’s parents loved her unconditionally with the perspective that we are all different in some way whether visible or invisible. With her own children, two which were also born with the same genetic condition, Meg teaches them they were “born extraordinary”– something we can all learn and pass on.
