Passion Struck with John R. Miles
I deeply appreciated this interview, and John’s very purposeful approach to the work he does. In the show-notes, John wrote: “If you’ve ever felt stuck, drained by spiritual buzzwords, or wondered how ancient wisdom could actually fit into your modern routine, this episode is both grounding and uplifting.”
* Correction to his show notes, my teacher is not Khentrul Lodrö Thayé Rinpoche. The correct name of my teacher is Guymed Khensur Rinpoche Lobsang Jampa.

P.S. We Expire
“Morgan Motsinger says she’s “highly allergic to surface conversations, and prefers to dig deep to create hope for a better inner and outer life.” It was a pleasure to be her guest on this podcast where we talked about the seemingly random path that led me to an interest in, and then study of Tibetan Buddhism, and to eventually writing a series of books based on the Buddhist teaching of The Six Perfections.”

Daughters of the Moon – Episode 229 – How Joyous Effort Works with Janet Ettele
As nature carries a strong presence in my writing, in this podcast with Kim and Barb (Daughters of the Moon Podcast) I especially appreciated that, beyond the story of my books, our conversation branched into the importance of raising children to know their connection with nature. Also, the important topic of holding respect for all the many world’s traditions that share common themes of compassion, peace, taking care of one another – and the planet!
