Announcement
We are taking a summer podcast break so I can finish my book, work on client projects, and revamp our podcast. You can look forward to new episodes in September.
In the meantime, listen to a few podcast episodes below and try my new breakfast recipe. I would love to get your feedback.
An Incredible True Story
I have An Incredible True Story three-part podcast series with the author of Marcel’s Letters, Carolyn Porter. Our first conversation aired on December 18, 2017. Carolyn Porter is an unlikely person to find herself on a mysterious hunt to find a family across the continent and embark on a journey that almost costs her her life. Who would have thunk that a graphic designer and typography geek would be leading such an exciting life?! You can listen to all three episodes. Her book is also a great summer read and is one of my favorites. DOWNLOAD EPISODE I

My Oatbake Recipe
As an experiment on January 15, 2021, Matthew, Olivia, and I decided to try a plant-based lifestyle. Matthew says we are 98% vegan, which gives us flexibility when needed, like at the graduation parties we attended in June. Of the 10 graduation parties, I caved once and ate some fried chicken tenders. I was grateful for the chicken that gave its life to end up on my plate. One and a half years later, we are still at it. Feeling great and happy with our choice. The key is having choices.
My experimentation with new recipes continues. One morning after a walk around Lake of the Isles, we stopped at Isles Bun and Coffee Shop in Minneapolis. I ordered an oatmeal bake for the first time. OMG! Quickly, I became obsessed and needed to figure out how to make an oatmeal bake. After trying a few recipes, I came up with my own version: WeMentor Oatbake. My sister, Monica, coined the name after tasting it. Here is the recipe for the chef to try in your house. It is a bit labor-intensive but well worth the effort. It can last an entire week.

Conscious Attentive Leadership Mentoring
After listening, do these three C.A.L.M. Activities:
- Take this risk or do this adventurous task: Download the WeMentor Oatbake recipe and enjoy a new healthy and yummy breakfast. Do kind things for yourself and others all summer. We need to take care of ourselves and others.
- Apply Self-Compassion: Self-compassion extends compassion to oneself in instances of perceived inadequacy, failure, or general suffering. Kristin Neff has defined self-compassion as comprised of three main elements: self-kindness, common humanity, and mindfulness. Be kind to yourself. Keep in mind how we are all connected. We are in extremely troubling times and must be mindful of meeting our basic human needs of love, connection, safety, and protection.
- Welcome Appreciation: “Thanks for listening. I appreciate expression. I appreciate choices. I appreciate our human rights. I appreciate you and will bring more meaningful podcast conversations to you in September. I appreciate truthfulness and using our voices to speak up and elevate all of us.”
Your Turn. Start with, “I appreciate what I heard from today’s Mentor, Nancy Meyer. I appreciate this week’s adventurous task because….”
“Most of the problems in our lives and world are caused by relational dysfunction, a dysfunction in how we relate: as social groups, as individuals, to animals and the environment, and even to ourselves. Therefore, developing relational literacy—the understanding of and ability to practice healthy ways of relating—is essential for personal, social, and ecological transformation.” —Melanie Joy, psychologist, author, theorist, educator
