Today’s guest is Kristin Moshonas. A yogi for most of her adult life, Kristin embraced a lifestyle of wellness, mindfulness and spirit with the birth of her children, becoming a yoga teacher, then therapist (IAYT 1,000 – HR), and finally adding a more strategic role as Director of Programming, NY for non-profit, Kula for Karma (2017). It is here that she began to delve more deeply into the space of trauma-based healing practices and work with underserved populations. She has co-created, directed and taught in therapeutic programs across the city from The Doe Fund to Covenant House, The Hope Program to Bellevue Hospital and NYC’s Dept. of Education, in the process realizing that helping those who are struggling to find moments of peace and pathways to self-empowerment and growth are what truly give the practice and her teaching purpose. Kristin calls upon previous career experience as a creative marketing executive (Conde Nast, Hearst, Time Inc.) to develop special brand initiatives for Kula, such as the currently running conversation series, Begin Again, and Sam Waterston hosted documentary series, Visionaries (PBS), featuring her work at The Hope Program.

Most recently, she joined the team at Access Mindfulness as Executive Director. AM was born
through an open-hearted vision to help make the transformative power of mindful awareness
accessible to all, working with children, adolescents, full school communities and other non-
profits. In this new role, Kristin adds teaching certifications in MBSR and Inner Strength
Foundation and looks forward to growing the awareness of AM in both NYC and The Hudson
Valley.

Deeply committed to supporting mindful community, she launched Ten of Zen at the start of the
pandemic shutdown, a free daily guided meditation. Over two years later, this remains a Friday
morning offering via her personal social channels, open to any and all who wish to participate.
 

Kristin is a graduate of The University of Vermont and The Sorbonne and finds great joy as a ski instructor, hiker, world explorer and mom to two teenage boys to men.

Today Kristin and I talk about mental health, how it impacts our overall health and relates to so many aspects of living a rich life, and how to tend to it. We learn about Kristin’s path to mindfulness, what that looks like for her, and the work she does at Kula and Access Mindfulness. We hope our conversation inspires you to nurture your mental health daily!

Still in quarantine, still making it happen!

Today’s guest is MK Burnell, host of the brand new podcast More Music Please: Quarantine Beat, where she chats with music industry professionals about life during COVID… and whatever else comes up. Until the pandemic shook things up, she was a radio host and music director with a particular passion for supporting local and emerging artists. She lives outside of Kingston with her partner and dogs. When not in lockdown, she performs with bands Locofreeq, Uncledad and Cold Flavor Repair.

We check in about how she’s doing during the pandemic, how she got through being let go from her radio host gig mid quarantine, starting a podcast, some of her favorite musicians like Lana Del Rey and Taylor Swift, making music with her bands, mindfulness and hiking. So good.

We listened to a favorite song of MK’s, “13 Beaches” by Lana Del Rey.

Tune into her podcast, new episodes released every Monday!

Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.

We heard music from our fave, Shana Falana, http://www.shanafalana.com/

#86 “Women Helping Women” with New Start for Women Program Director, Jordan Scruggs + Grief Coach, Claire Papell’

Writing from Espańa and after a little schedule mixup on my part, sharing the proper episode for today’s show. Don’t worry, Keiko and Claudia are next week, I promise!!! I am so excited to be sharing these interviews that I recorded with these two fabulous women who embody a big theme of this show, Women Helping Women!

My first interview is with Jordan Scruggs, a past guest with an exciting new job at SUNY Ulster as director of the New Start for Women Program. Jordan shares all the details about this program which to me is a great example of how one community is working to help lift up women who so deserve it. Jordan shares the fears and excitement of a career change and the lessons she’s already learning on her new job about the reality of what life can be like for these women. I can’t wait to have the women in the program on the show to hear about their experiences and the sisterhood they are already forming!

Midway through today’s show you’ll hear my chat with Claire Papell, a Grief Coach for Women holding space for women to heal and recover from the loss of a loved one. I was introduced to Claire by friend Amy Short and was so impressed by the meaningfulness of her work that I wanted to have her on as a guest. Claire is an advanced certified yoga teacher and a continuing student of yogic philosophy and spiritual wisdom which she brings into her work. Claire shares about her own past trauma and how it has led her to the work she does in holding space in a world that is often trying to push and pull us into places we are not yet ready to go. Thank you Claire!

Brava ladies!
