Have you ever felt the yearning for deeper spiritual understanding, one that transcends the traditional boundaries of organized religion? That's precisely what Shannon Savage-Howie, a contemplative coach with a rich spiritual tapestry, shares with us in a heartwarming narrative of transformation and enlightenment. From her Protestant roots to a robust spiritual practice, Shannon's journey is a beacon for those navigating the tumultuous seas of life in search of peace and purpose. Our discussion unpacks the essence of contemplative coaching and how it can be a lighthouse for anyone seeking to anchor their experiences in the depths of spiritual growth.

The episode takes a poignant turn as we commemorate the resilience of a community scarred by tragedy. We pay homage to the indomitable spirit of Thousand Oaks in the wake of the grievous 2018 shooting and wildfires, exploring the cathartic "Thousand Oaks Remembers" storytelling project. It’s a narrative of healing, of stitching together the fabric of a community with threads of shared memories and collective strength. And as we conclude, we celebrate the everyday heroes like Shannon, who cultivate havens for healing. Let their stories of kindness remind us all that our actions can indeed pave the way for a more compassionate and connected world.

It's one thing to highlight the kindness that we see in the world, but it's another to, as I put in many of my social media posts, #bethechange. I am donating all of my royalties from the sale of my book, Change A World; In Order to Change The World to local and national non-profits. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
