This is a very different episode. I want to tell you what's been going on with me during the entire life of this podcast. I'm shattered but I won't give up. A sharp corner has been turned.

This is part 2 of my 2-part interview of Benjamin Kintisch, Cantor, chaplain, music teacher, and creator of Life Review: The Hospice Musical. His musical theater background and his current work as a hospice chaplain intersected and gave birth to this inspiring and important musical about life and death. I call this a "Bridge Episode" because this is the first interview that I am posting to both of my podcasts: this podcast, I Have Dreams Dammit! Podcast and my other podcast, Death Talk Podcast.

Is the opposite of burnout, balance?  Or is it connection? Maybe it's both. And maybe the "balance" is about perspective - our perspective from which we observe whether we are in balance or not. What does "balance" mean to you? 

Is it possible that you get sick or get into emergencies on a subconscious level to get attention and support from some people in your life? Some people are only there for us when we are down or in an emergency. It's great to have their support in those moments, but it would be great to have their support even when things are going well. We need someone to cheer us on!

Your real adventure doesn't begin when you begin, it begins when you leave your comfort zone behind - when you chose the unknown over the known - when you chose adventure over stagnation.

I want to help people heal right now and so I'm releasing my documentary, Soul Providers: Los Angeles today online. You can watch it live with me on Facebook today (Sunday, 3/26 at 4pm PST) or you can watch it anytime on my YouTube channel.

I recorded this episode in my car with my handheld Zoom recorder. I wanted to get a message out to you to stay strong during this crazy "social distancing" pandemic time.  It's scary. It's uncertain. Yes. But it can also be a time of deeper soul searching. It can be a time where you do some things you have been putting off. How will you spend your time during this time? After Derrick died, my life was altered dramatically. All of the things I loved and thought made me "safe", went away. I learned a lot about attachment and loss during that time that I hope helps you should you need it right now.  If you need someone to talk to, feel free to email me at [email protected] YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
