The Strength of Collective Hope in Uncertain Times w/ Dr. Nyree Clark

Episode 55

Wednesday, November 13, 2024 • Duration 41:14

I sit down with a true force for change in education — Dr. Nyree Clark, the Coordinator of Equity and Access at Colton Joint Unified School District — to discuss what it takes to hold onto hope in challenging times and build communities that support us beyond our comfort zones to break barriers and foster equity.

Reflecting on the recent election, we explore the real work that begins after pivotal moments in history like the one we are collectively experiencing right now. We talk about allyship and equity as lifelong practices — not just boxes to check. Through our conversation, we dive into the magic that happens when we lean on each other, tackle barriers as a united front, and bring our hearts fully into the work of equity.

This conversation is a guide to finding light in the darkness, nurturing hope, and embracing how “free” we can truly be when we let go, lean in, and grow together.

The 'I Am' Effect: Creating Your Life One Word at a Time

Episode 45

Wednesday, August 21, 2024 • Duration 23:12

In this solo episode, I dive into the profound impact of the words we speak to ourselves, especially when no one else is listening. Everything that follows the words "I am" has the power to shape your reality. But how are you speaking to yourself in those quiet, introspective moments of your day? Are you building yourself up, or are you tearing yourself down?

I explore the transformative power of self-talk and how the narratives we create can either lift us higher or hold us back. I’ll share insights for shifting from negative, self-defeating thoughts to positive affirmations that empower you to navigate life’s toughest moments with grace and resilience. We'll uncover how to speak to ourselves with the same love and kindness we would offer to a dear friend, and learn how to harness the power of "I am" to create a reality that supports your growth and well-being.

In this episode, James Layman and I dive into:

The through lines that connects each of us together
The life-changing wisdom his mom shared with him 6 weeks before she passed
What we can all learn from kids, Costco sample attendants, and death

The Keys to Leading Greater Impact: Gain Clarity on Your Why, Amplify Youth Voices & Be Open to Change w/ Miles Palacios

Episode 41

Friday, September 29, 2023 • Duration 01:18:20

How can each of us lead greater impact for good with our resources, access, and privilege? This is the question Miles Palacios and I get curious about in this episode.

We also dive into:

The importance of investing in youth and amplifying their voices and lived experiences.
Why do we do what we do?
Does injustice have to be personal to change?
How self-leadership is self-care.
Reframing open door policy to an empty office policy
And the importance of questioning the self.

Miles Palacios (he/him/his) is an Oregonian born and raised. His partner, Sophia, and him reside in Downtown Beaverton with their small family of two lovely cats. He comes from a big family of four siblings and two parents who both worked in the public sector — his father Marty was a public school educator and administrator while his mother Debbie worked for the City of McMinnville.

From childhood, his parents always expressed to his siblings and him the importance of building foundations — systems of support for those around us. As a result, much of his life, career, and purpose has revolved around creating foundations and platforms that amplify those who need to be seen and heard the most.

He is the Executive Director of the Oregon Association of Student Councils and the Director of Tualatin Hills Parks and Recreation District.

Lucca Petrucci's Keynote at Fresno State's 2023 Rainbow Graduation

Episode 40

Friday, June 2, 2023 • Duration 18:09

In May of 2016, I graduated from Fresno State as a curious and nervous newly out gay man.

7 years later, on Saturday, May 20th, 2023 I led the keynote address at Fresno State’s 10th Annual Rainbow Graduation as a confident queer human who has so much freaking love for the LGBTQIA+ community and belief in all that is possible for them in their lifetime.

It was a dream come true to share my story and an important message about authenticity with nearly 200 undergrad and graduate LGBTQIA+ students, parents, families, professors, university leaders, city officials, and community members.

I am so excited for you to experience this true full circle moment in this episode!

The Cycle of Life, Death, & Rebirth We Experience Many Times

Episode 39

Friday, May 5, 2023 • Duration 44:15

Last December, I experienced the deepest depression of my life. In this solo episode, I share the small, slow, and challenging steps I took to move through sadness, anxiety, and apathy into hope, joy, and excitement for life again.

Today, 4 months later, I now know, I was experiencing the death of an older version of myself. I was shedding beliefs, ways of thinking and being, and opinions that no longer served me to create space in my life for my highest potential and more love and abundance.

In our lifetime, we experience many cycles of life, death, and rebirth, just like a flower does through the seasons. This is a normal part of growing into the most authentic and expressed version of yourself.

I talk about this topic because I really wish someone told me everything I express in this episode. It would have helped me move through one of the darkest moments in my life more easefully.
