Episode Notes

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
• Being present to the glimmers (the opposite of triggers) in our lives 
• The journey of loving the parts of yourself that you’re nervous for others to see and love 
• And how we can all chose to be true change makers in our sphere of influence
