In this episode with Noa Elan, CEO of Plura, we cover the topic of finding the "balance" between our professional lives/choices and who we are/what we care about in the world. It's a dance for many of us and this episode gives examples, tips, and insights to help further explore our own unique paths of alignment in work and life.

Some questions we explore include:

• "Is it possible to have a corporate job and still be my fully expressed self in the world?"
• "Can I do what I love and still have financial security?"
• "How do I build a career that feels purposeful and in alignment?"
• "Are there more than the two common paths that can feel like all or nothing?"
• "How do I navigate worrying what people think? Or even the real consequences we can face?"
• "How do you build your life with more scaffolding than your job?"
• And many more!

Noa shares with us her own journey including her "fall of rage" and how she found her way in creating a path where she is in alignment, passionate about her work, and doing something she loves, while still working in the tech world that he knows and loves.

In this episode, I sit down with Dave Klaus who is a Life Coach, Consultant, Zen Priest, Facilitator, and former Criminal Trial Laywer with the Alameda County Public Defender. We explore his own journey breaking out of the patriarchal systems that often define manhood for so many and into a more heart-centered, vulnerable way of being and relating in the world.

Dave shares his own journey and how it has led to his work helping other men through various modalities, including the Mankind Project and The Freedom Within Project (which is a nonprofit working to reduce recidivism and change the culture inside prisons and jails through self-awareness and emotional literacy).

We talk about the power of emotional literacy, and the transformational experience that sharing and healing in community can offer. And dive into the common themes that many men face in our society today including isolation/loneliness, the struggles with navigating friendship and relationships, shame, and healing from trauma. Plus, the many ways men can explore growth, healing, integrity, joy, self-love, and so much more through intentional men's work.

In this episode I sit down with community organizer, artist, and scholar, Lily Lamboy, who is also the Co-Founder and Managing Director of The Modern Family Institute, a nonprofit that researches and advocates for diverse family and relationship structures. We dive into what a "modern family" is today and how current legislation, systems, structures, and research are not accurately reflecting and supporting the non-nuclear families that are abundant and growing in our society.

Lily shares insights on how we can rethink family and community care, the challenges we're facing with the nuclear family model driving so much in our culture, how we can create our own unique family structures, and examples of what non-nuclear families might look like in today's world... plus a whole lot more!

**This episode was recorded on March 25, 2024 and since the recording, two very exciting pieces of legislation have been passed in the Bay Area supporting these initiatives. You can read more about legal protections passed in Berkeley and Oakland at the articles here and here.
