  • Positivity Resonance
    Aug 28 2024
    This episode was recorded when the world’s attention was on the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. So Toast might’ve gotten a little carried away or confused about some stories she related, so just to clarify, the stories of sportsmanship that we discuss did not happen at the 2024 Summer Games. But they did happen. And we’ve included links to more about that in the show notes on our podcast blog. https://sienaandtoast.com/podcast/positivity-resonance Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Micro-Connections
    Aug 14 2024
    Micro-Connections are small moments of connection with other people. Literally moments, not even minutes. Just a moment of holding the door open for someone, for instance. In this episode, we talk about why micro-connections are so important and powerful, for individuals – especially for people with a history of trauma– and for societies. The book Siena references is What Happened to You?: Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing by Dr. Bruce D. Perry & Oprah Winfrey. And the other podcast episode we mention is 205 Relationship Quality Is Life. https://sienaandtoast.com/podcast/micro-connections Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
