    Conversation between Andrea and Barbara about the "WHY" behind their digital starter course "Picking Up The Pieces and Moving On" that's on track to be released January 5th, 2026. Have a listen now to how we humans are meaning making machines and how we can learn our way out of a crisis by tapping the traits we all have inside us. And with the help of your personal field guides, i.e. Andrea and Barbara, you too can climb out of the abyss - whatever your current challenge may be...and build a vision of who you want to be. There's hope and all you need to do is learn new ways of moving forward, as you build your own mosaic path.

    About Boom Talk Media Today - With the Fascinating Lisa Schnebly
    Aug 21 2025
    We’re sitting down with Lisa Schnebly Heidinger, a journalist, author, adventure girl and the granddaughter of the late Sedona Schnebly of the Arizona town by the same name. One of the many joyful things about this interview is that we talked with Lisa some 6 years ago. And this time she's asking us the tough questions!:) It was sheer joy to be on the other side in this interview! We talk about the life paths that unfold before all of us. About how the rapids of life take us on creative, gratifying and sometimes painful journeys, and how we all desire to put our life pieces into perspective so we can continue using them wisely as we envision the mosaic path ahead. Lisa Schnebly Heidinger about Boom Talk Media: “ What I can see over the years, is how you are always offering people a chance to see themselves differently” and... “You are forever striving to “encourage, share and facilitate healing; you are the champions at producing and putting out pieces that make a difference in life” Thank you Lisa! We can't wait to interview you and Julie Morrison - your friend and co-author of your newest book "Arizona FriendTrips." Such a delight!!

    How Chickens Are Like Humans with Amy and Cindy
    Jun 18 2025
    We sit down with two hilarious chicken mammas - Cindy and Amy, both residing in Tucson, AZ less than 4 miles from each other's chicken coops! Who would think that these 2 women have been in our lives for 15+ years! We couldn't wait to "interrogate" them about their experiences raising chickens and how their flocks are very much like humans. We actually couldn't sleep the night before our recording because we were anticipating tons of laughter, and we weren't disappointed. Humor being something that right about now is very much needed and cherished in our world. Pour yourself a glass of wine or hard Kombucha...or a cup of tea...and listen in to how chicken raising came about for these two entrepreneurial women. We're not talking about just 2 or 3 chickens...we're talking about 30+ chickens combined!! Get ready for tales of pecking orders, backyard gossip, and mother hens with attitude!

    Saving the Lives of Those Who Save Ours - with Dr. Michael Marks
    Apr 21 2025
    Other than when we need to call 911, how often do we imagine the toll it takes on the lives of those whose job it is to save our own? More relevant than ever these variable and volatile times call upon those who remain steadfast on the front lines of caring for our citizens no matter what. Listen in while Dr. Michael Marks shares his own decades long journey supporting the mental health of those who sacrifice their own lives in order to save others. In this episode, Michael Marks distills what he’s learned about the women, men— the culture of first responders from veterans of foreign wars to the everyday civilian heroes who work in paramilitary cultures— the fire, police and EMT’s who put themselves into the fray between dire circumstances, their own safety— while supporting themselves and their families. To see how Dr. Marks' resiliency tools help people in the field, copy & paste this link to his video titled "Post Traumatic Growth: A Southwest Story." https://youtu.be/lbw2C3VMJYo
