    2026/10/27
    Being different doesn't mean being less capable. It often means seeing the world in ways others don't understand. I had the pleasure of speaking with Yenn Purkis, an autistic, ADHD, non-binary advocate and author who has turned personal challenges into a powerful voice for disability rights and neurodiversity. Yenn shares their journey through school bullying, mental health struggles, schizophrenia, and learning to accept their identity.

  • Episode 486 – Bravely Leading: Finding Unstoppable Courage in the Face of Fear with Darlia Clark

    Episode 486 – Bravely Leading: Finding Unstoppable Courage in the Face of Fear with Darlia Clark
    2026/10/23
    Fear doesn't have to stop us from achieving our dreams. Sometimes, it can be the very thing that pushes us forward. My guest, Darlia Clark, knows this from personal experience. Growing up in Tennessee, she faced bullying, vision challenges, and struggles with confidence, yet she went on to build a successful career leading major corporate brand conversions. Darlia shares how she learned to manage fear, build self-confidence, and lead teams through difficult challenges without losing her authentic voice. We also explore the difference between being a boss and a true leader, the impact of family support, and how small steps can lead to personal growth. Darlia's journey inspired her new book, Bravely Leading: Where Fear Meets Flight, which draws on her experiences with leadership, motherhood, and overcoming breast cancer. I believe you'll enjoy her perspective on courage, resilience, and why moving forward matters more than having everything figured out. Highlights: 01:01 How childhood bullying shaped Darlia's confidence. 11:26 How a bold decision launched her leadership career. 16:59 Why overcoming fear starts with small steps. 28:24 How her father taught her to lead with confidence. 38:47 Why authentic leadership means staying true to yourself. 49:17 How life's challenges inspired her book on courage and resilience. About the Guest: Darlia Clark is a senior executive, speaker, and author whose career has been shaped by navigating uncertainty, fear, and moments that required courage before confidence ever arrived. Raised in small-town Tennessee, she made an early leap to Atlanta, learning firsthand what it means to leave comfort behind in pursuit of growth. That willingness to move forward before feeling ready became the foundation of a career defined by resilience and reinvention. Her professional journey began far from boardrooms, rooted in retail floors and hands-on work that taught her resilience, adaptability, and the importance of human connection. That foundation carried her into executive leadership, where she has overseen national and global initiatives valued in hundreds of millions of dollars. As Senior Vice President at Principle Global, Darlia led one of the largest brand conversions during the height of the global pandemic, guiding teams through labor shortages and supply-chain disruption while still delivering meaningful results. Life beyond work deeply influenced how Darlia leads. Motherhood, personal loss, surviving breast cancer, and long seasons of fear and anxiety forced her to slow down and reassess how she moved through the world. She learned that fear and anxiety are not signals to stop, but often indicators that something meaningful is unfolding. Growth, she discovered, lives on the other side of staying present and continuing forward, even when uncertainty feels overwhelming. Darlia is the author of Bravely Leading: Where Fear Meets Flight, a candid exploration of resilience, reinvention, and leading with authenticity when fear refuses to disappear. Through her work, she encourages leaders to keep moving, trusting that discomfort can be a doorway rather than a barrier. She lives in Atlanta with her husband, two daughters, and two dogs. Darlia believes that true impact is built through resilience, humility, and the courage to move forward—especially when fear is loud and the outcome is still unknown.

  • Episode 485 – Reconnecting Kids with Nature Through Unstoppable Storytelling with Vardhini Amin

    Episode 485 – Reconnecting Kids with Nature Through Unstoppable Storytelling with Vardhini Amin
    2026/10/20
    What happens when children lose their connection with nature, and how can storytelling help bring it back? Vardhini Amin, a children's book author and professional photographer from India, joins me to explore the power of imagination, creativity, and reconnecting with the natural world. Drawing from her childhood, her love of gardening, and her experiences as a mother, Vardhini shares the inspiration behind her fantasy book Forest Borns, where trees have souls and nature comes alive. We discuss how screen time, structured schedules, and changing family habits affect children's creativity and their connection with the outdoors. Vardhini also explains why storytelling can teach empathy and environmental awareness more effectively than lectures. Our conversation reminds us that nature is not separate from us, that children need the freedom to explore, and that even one person can make a meaningful difference. I believe you'll enjoy Vardhini's perspective on helping children and adults rediscover the wonder of the world around them. Highlights: 01:30 - How Vardhini's childhood inspired her creative career. 20:32 - Why children are losing their connection with nature. 29:00 - How storytelling helps children develop empathy for nature. 35:53 - Why unstructured play builds creativity and imagination. 40:33 - How gardening inspired her children's book Forest Borns. 44:58 - How one person can make a difference in protecting nature. About the Guest: Vardhini Amin is the award-winning author of The Forestborns, a fantasy novel for children published by Hachette India in 2024. The Forestborns tells a story of courage, healing, and the invisible ties that bind all living things. Set in a hidden realm where the souls of trees and plants slip from their rooted bodies after sunset, it follows Siah, a young sandalwood tree soul forced onto a dangerous quest to protect her kind. Nearby, a girl named Avni, who finds comfort in the forest while grappling with her own grief, begins to sense a growing threat to the woods she loves. As their journeys quietly converge, ancient magic stirs and a fragile bridge forms between two worlds, leading to a miracle the forest will never forget. A portrait photographer with over a decade of experience, storytelling has always been Vardhini’s true calling. She grew up on a steady diet of fables and fantasy, and that early love for imaginative worlds continues to shape her writing today. Her stories often explore the quiet magic hidden in everyday life- trees that speak, forests that remember, and unexpected friendships that change the way characters see the world. As a writer, she is drawn to the emotional worlds of children and young readers. Her work blends imagination with emotional realism, exploring themes of fear, belonging, resilience, and hope. Through her stories, she hopes to create spaces where young readers feel seen and inspired to look at the world around them with curiosity and empathy. Through The Forestborns, she hopes to rekindle a sense of wonder about nature and encourage young readers to see forests, plants, and wildlife as living companions in the shared story of our planet. When she isn’t writing or behind the camera, she finds calm among her indoor plants—a peaceful counterpoint to the joyful chaos of life with her two sons and their two adopted cats.
