    Love the new format. So often we stay within our own bubbles of pain and adversity. Finding common ground through different walks is something we need more of right now.

  • Thanks for inspiring!!!!

    Loved your launch interview. Personal, inspiring, uplifting. Especially appreciate your “non dual” insight that life brings us each joy and sorrow and how we accept this allows us to feel free, wholly alive and present...no matter what our physical condition is. Thank you!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

LIVE in conversation with Kimberly Warner
Q: What sparked the memoir and how did the idea of Unfixed begin to take shape?
Kimberly explains that the memoir grew out of a combination of personal memory, family history, and a drive to make sense of instability through writing; it evolved into a broader project about living with uncertainty and choosing curiosity over fixation.
LIVE! Unfixed: Uncut with acclaimed author Rachel Weaver
Q: But what is the very thing that you couldn't fix that ended up saving your life?
The realization that healing was not a single fixed outcome but a process that could be shared with doctors, family, and the possibility of a new approach; the patient-doctor relationship and sustained hope played key roles in changing the trajectory of her health.
Nina Listens for the Heartbeat
Q: What inspired you to write from the Earth's perspective, and how did you approach representing such a vast time scale?
The Earth's voice emerged as a way to cultivate empathy and to remind readers that we are inseparable from the natural world; I worked with deep time concepts, consulted scientific input, and allowed the voice to evolve from anger to compassion to reflect a more hopeful relational stance.
LIVE! Unfixed: Uncut with Eleanor Anstruther
Q: What message do you want listeners to take away about activism and storytelling?
Activism is embodied in everyday acts and long-term commitments, and storytelling can honor those acts by elevating the people and places that made history, encouraging action through empathy and shared purpose.
LIVE! Unfixed: Uncut with Eleanor Anstruther
