What a pleasure it was to have a real conversation with Chris.  His thoughts on the Covid-19 Corona virus and the benefits of it.  We also discuss his new kids book, The Boy Who Spoke To The Earth. He shares briefly about his movie Under An Arctic Sky. A must listen. Hear thoughts about Chris Burkard, you have never heard before!

I highly recommend you watch the recent movie he produced, Under An Arctic Sky!  It’s an amazing movie of hard core weather in Iceland and you see how hard he labors to get the perfect and rarest photos and video! His film project documents a journey to remote corners of Iceland in the middle of winter in search of the perfect surf.  The surfers set sail along the frozen shores of Iceland.  A twenty-five year storm arrives and changes their filming plans. If you want to see some of the most beautiful, scenic and artistic cinematography, then watch, Under An Arctic Sky.

Thanks Chris Burkard for your time, what a treat it was to converse with you.

Cheryl B. Engelhardt, music composer, 10 years of anxiety attacks to finding solace.

Cheryl B. Engelhardt is the composer and author of “Luminary” - music and affirmations for mindfulness, focus, and growth. The New York film, commercial, and social justice choral composer turned to creating music specifically for self-awareness after her decade-long struggle with panic attacks. In attempts to find music that supported her anxiety management, writing “Luminary” in a small abandoned mountain town in Greece became her solution. Cheryl graduated from Cornell University and lives in the Hudson Valley in New York.

After graduating from Cornell and spending several months SCUBA diving for the United States Geological Survey, she landed a job at a New York City commercial editing house which led to her next job at a jingle composing studio. There, Cheryl started first as a technology assistant, then as a composer and music supervisor, writing music for Fortune 500 companies' commercials. During this time, her love of performing took over and while working in the ad industry, she put together her band and recorded several albums. Currently she is now focused on her lates project, Luminary.

She has found a way to quell her anxiety with music, meditation, and exercise. She shares her method and her music expertise on The Minds Gym Podcast. Just another way to help calm the mind.

Jordonel from racism, drugs, divorce, lost job, a sick son, and losing her house to trusting humanity and becoming vegan!

Jordonel, a twice divorced mother of 4, dealt with racism and it was hard to deal with growing up, she spent a lot of years on a farm her mom purchased so she could have animals and find peace. She came from biracial parents.  Her mom also brought many children from unfortunate situations into their home without pay.

She studied Psychology/Behavioral Science for 6 years at UVU.

Before becoming clinically depressed. She sought help and began gaining weight from medications, and other physical ailments took control of her body and life. She spent 4 years mainly in bed.  She would drink heavily when going out with friends.
While in bed for years she began researching ways to heal. Worried she would be dependent on pharmaceutical drugs, she started dropping as many as possible.  She went from about 20 drugs a day to being off drugs completely.

In the midst of all of this she was angry and didn't have healthy relationships, nor a positive outlook on the future.  She has been vegan since July 6th 2017.  She has knocked unhealthy addictions out of her life ever since! With a friend she started a 21 Day Vegan Challenge online, it's free. She now helps mentor people through their transition. Life throws challenges but having a healthy mind has dramatically changed how she deals with things.

Last year her oldest son survived having a tumor taken out of his brain and three from his lower spine.  She lost her job, her home, and she has now found faith in humanity.  A great listen, and amazing story of perseverance.
