The Edge of Everyday with Sandra Bargman
Actor, Inter-spiritual minister and Impactful Communication teacher, Sandra Bargman leans into the understanding that life isn't black or white, but rather it's where these two meet where we find the most creativity, chaos and ultimately, understanding. Based on her hit one woman show of the same name, The Edge of Everyday podcast is an exploration of the edges we all face and grapple with in our challenging times. Sandra Bargman shares her own stories and perspectives around opposing beliefs, the tension of paradox, the sacred and mundane, and our biggest edge, fear of change. Real conversations with real people that spark provocative invitations to leap out of what’s safe and explore the outer edges of their lives.

The Evolving Identity of Kindness with Pooya Mohseni
Today we are #LIVEintheHIVE with actor and activist, Pooya Mohseni for a compelling conversation on the evolution of IDENTITY.
My listeners know that my opening question to all my guests is “WHAT Identity do you lead with”? The answers are always fascinating.
Identity is a big concept to unpack, especially in today’s world. People who are overly concerned with the impression they make, or more importantly, people who feel a core aspect of themselves, such as gender or sexuality, is not being expressed, can struggle acutely with their identity. Reflecting on the discrepancy between who one is, who one is perceived to be, and who one wants to be can be a powerful catalyst for change.
* Identity, race, gender are all a social constructs, All of Life is a spectrum.
* Fear of Change Vs the embrace of Change. * Transitioning from one closet to another - the closet of CIS privaledge.
* The embrace of our shadow side, and using our anger for transformation.
* The hierarchy of CIS and Trans competition.
* We share about the play we did together in 2015 - and her upcoming work - AND making her Broadway debut,
