Welcome to this special summer series of the Campfire Circle podcast where we’re bringing back mini-moments from past episodes that are just as relevant today – if not more so.
This episode is from a longer conversation with Dr. Devona Stalnaker-Shofner, a professor and mental health counselor. We are diving into how we can nurture future social change agents and ground ourselves in our “why.”
Finally, we talk about a new form of leadership that’s rooted in purpose and values instead of power and control.
This episode is over two years old, so there’s some mention of dated news stories. What Devona shares, however, is timeless.

This episode is from a longer conversation with Ché Elizaga Castro, a brand strategist and storyteller. We are diving into the power of story for change, especially our personal stories and the things we've grown through to become the guides we are today.
We also talk about the evergreen, timeless power of brand storytelling (even when faced with rapid changes in marketing.) Algorithms are always changing but stories will always be relevant.

Welcome to this special summer series of the Campfire Circle podcast where we’re bringing back mini-moments from past episodes that are just as relevant today – if not more so.
This episode is from a longer conversation with my friend Aila Malik, a lawyer by schooling, nonprofit executive by trade, and change agent in many ways. We are diving into how our personal experiences shape our social change work at nonprofits and beyond. Aila also shares the framework she uses to drive change at the social impact organizations she consults with.
If you're a nonprofit leader or part of a social impact executive team, this episode is especially for you.

Aila and Tania mention a couple of models and frameworks to help them guide and drive change. The first is William Miller and Stephen Rollnick’s Motivational Interviewing, which you can read more about here. The second is Prochaska’s Stages of Change Model and you can find more information about it here.
