Positive Change Award Winner in Society and Culture as CoffeeFitnessUnicorn!!

Welcome to my Virtual Coffee Spot(c). I'm your pocket DJ and this podcast is where storytelling and coffee hang out. As a super-survivor I have turned my trauma and grief into a powerful, creative force for good. And I learned, it's never too late to start a podcast—at 51.
My podcast is both informative and entertaining, but mostly, I hope we connect. I believe we connect through the power of storytelling. For me drinking coffee and sharing stories feels very comforting and relaxing.My hope, my mission, is that you’ll join the virtual table and stay for some inspirational tales. I've learned it's never too late to follow your dreams.
