An introduction to the whispering leaves podcast.

Episode 1 - An introduction to the podcast

This episode includes an interview with my friend and fellow Tburger Gordon Bonnet. Gordon and I haven’t crossed paths in some time so it was nice to reconnect and talk about his many talents and ambitions. Gordon is a retired high school biology teacher, fiction author, blogger, online writing coach & consultant, musician, potter, and an avid runner.

Episode 2 - A conversation with Gordon Bonnet

I am grateful to have met with my friend Alex Solla to chat about how life can change in an instant, how we meet the challenges that we are presented with, and how to maintain a sense of hope when all seems to be lost. His story is an incredible one that demonstrates the remarkable resiliency of the human body and just how vast and rich the mind and inner psyche can be. 

PLEASE NOTE: the following discussion contains references to trauma and  detailed descriptions of medical procedures. Please consider if this information is right for you before proceeding.
