We believe you don’t need to be a superstar, an astronaut, to be rich or to have millions of followers to have interesting stories. Throughout our travels, we have met ordinary people with fascinating stories that deserve to be heard by everyone… what do these people have in common?
They are just interesting people!

Yanti shares her life journey with us which took her to many different corners of the world!
Born in Australia with Indonesian parents, Yanti grew up looking different from others and - still to this day - had to answer how she could speak such fluent English considering her Indonesian physical traits. Yanti shares with us the origin of her name, and the importance of her Javanese origins in her life.
Yanti has been a successful lawyer for 17 years in multiple countries. However, after "a mid-life crisis" as she calls it, she made a huge change and became a yoga instructor & studio owner in New York City!
Towards the end of the episode, we also talk about how during the pandemic, by simply reaching out to friends around the globe, she ended up putting together a group of more than 100 women to share their stories & support each other about their domestic violence experiences.
Enjoy!

Rebecca Alexander: crushing life with Usher Syndrome
Rebecca is an author (Not Fade Away: A Memoir of Senses Lost and Found), psychotherapist, public speaker (including a TedTalk), group fitness instructor, extreme athlete and disability right advocate... yes, all of that!
She also has a genetic disorder called Usher Syndrome type 3, which causes her to go deaf and blind. Rebecca first started losing her sight at age 12, then her hearing a few years later. She now reads brail, is fluent in sign language and protactile sign language.
Rebecca talks to us about her journey discovering Usher Syndrome, how she coped with changes in her body as a teen but also how she is doing lots of fun things to enjoy life now (and as she says, "to feel alive") while she still has her sight and hearing (including hiking Mount Kilimanjaro).
Rebecca shares with us why it is important for her to raise awareness for her community and how important it is to find your community. Plus we talk about inspiration porn and how disabled people are just people doing normal things.
We loved this conversation and hope you do too.
