Another week, and another episode chock full of inspiration! This episode does contain some adult subjects (not explicit), so it may not be the best episode to listen to if you have younger ears about. The first story is about some unsung heroes who did amazing things but almost nobody knows about them. Then we talk about the brave and bold Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe, who has saved thousands of young women from a life as slaves during a brutal conflict in Africa. Finally, we talk about a young man who turned a shark attack into a mission. Come bask in the inspiration.

Hey look at that-- we got two in a row now. We are going to try to get back to our every Wednesday releases. This is a fun episode, even though it has a couple discussions about mental illness. The first story is about Aurikatariina, the self-proclaimed "best cleaner in the world", who uses cleaning houses to improve mental health. Then there is the amazing Nellie Bly, who practically invented investigative journalism, improved mental health care, traveled around the world and well, did not fit the mold of the women of the late 1800s. You will become a fan of Nellie Bly. Finally, got a couple of quick stories about marathons, that may just inspire you to run. Come have a listen and find something to inspire you.

Life is still crazy, but we need inspiration more now than ever and we want to share it with you. This episode is lots of fun and is full of inspiration. First, there is the story of how some Africans are making a difference while learning to live with nature. Next, the unbelievable true story of a man who made a beer run to Vietnam, during the war, to remind his friends that they are cared about. It is a crazy story, but definitely one you won't want to miss. Finally, there are the Nine Nanas who covertly helped their neighbors for more than 30 years. You will love this episode!

I know, we are falling behind on getting episodes out. This is just a crazy time for us. However, we want to make sure that we get some episodes out since many are feeling down right now. This episode has happy dog stories, the first Black woman to be on the US Supreme Court, and the hilarious and generous Anna Kendrick. You won't want to miss it. Grab a cup of hot chocolate, and take a little time to stoke the fires of inspiration.
