#0089: Sara Duchovnay on the impact of the opera diva myth, divorce rings + life on the other side of your worst fears
During this episode, we discuss how she came to love opera and explore the impact of the word “diva,” including the meaning, the myth, and the potentially harmful impact of that label. We chat about the glamorous and not so glamorous sides of running a jewelry business. Plus, Sara opens up about several deeply personal topics like handling bullies and being victimized in the workplace, being your own self-advocate, and surviving emotional abuse at home.
I hope you delight in Sara's story of how she became the (jokingly) the “Mistress of Specialized, Unnecessary Knowledge.” Oh, and if you want a visual reference while you're listening to our conversation, check out Songbird Sara Jewelry on Instagram.

#0088: Alice Bowman on leading a diverse team, facing obstacles + calling a spacecraft 4 billion miles from Earth
Alice has participated in two historic flybys, which are billions of miles away. (The irony that I usually walk upstairs to work is not lost on me.) She's now the second guest who has graced this podcast from the space exploration community.
Of course, we're going to talk about space exploration in this episode, but we're also going to talk about what has needed to work well among a team of Earthlings for it all to be possible plus the lessons that Alice has personally learned along the way.
According to Alice, there are many ways to be involved in space exploration, including how to communicate with a spacecraft, the aspects of project management, and leading a diverse team. In fact, Alice shares openly about creating a safe environment for all team members to flourish, including the importance of excellent communication, listening without prejudice or agenda, and respecting and trusting your team's diverse expertise.
When it comes to Alice’s journey, it took a lot of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. She shares how she overcame self-imposed barriers and grew her self-confidence. Alice also shares one of the scariest moments she has ever faced at work and what she learned from it.

#0087: Claire Sprouse on low-waste sustainability, non-preachy activism + serving inspiring food and drinks
Today, we discuss Claire's passion for sustainability, which happens to be a primary value at Hunky Dory. It’s the driving factor behind everything they do at the restaurant. As Claire explains, you don't need to be a scientist to create sustainable, effective processes. Inviting people to Hunky Dory's brand of activism in a non-preachy way is what she and her staff strive to do. We also take on the high and low points of adulting, creating a sense of inspiration by way of her food and drinks, and focusing on the human experience within the hospitality industry.
We recorded this conversation a few weeks before New York City would become a pandemic hotspot and effectively shut down, including Claire's restaurant. So far, Hunky Dory has pivoted and is hanging on. So, if you're near Crown Heights in Brooklyn, please grab some grub to-go. For you far-flung folks who dig Claire's low-waste hospitality initiatives, find the link below for Claire's GoFundMe campaign.
