Welcome!
Welcome to The Awe Cast, a monthly podcast and letter delivering conversations and essays about climate justice, culture, joy and awe straight to ya inbox. Through original personal photography, writing and audio, I’ll share what stirs me into more awe-centered living in our climate crisis.
What to Expect
My letter is exactly that, a letter. It’s not a cookie cutter email or a series of announcements or promotions, its just me talking to you about life lessons I am growing through, culture, inspiration, art, hard topics, musings and more. In each monthly letter, you can expect honest writing, candid audio reflections and powerful original photography. I’ll be sharing my raw point of view on climate justice, creative living, travel stories, current world affairs, mindfulness practices, personal revelations and creative career insights.
Purpose
I think the best kind of living happens in the ordinary moments that often go unnoticed. Writing this newsletter is my fun way of honoring those moments and reflecting on the valuable lessons I glean from them. Mindful living is so important to me, it’s what makes life full of wonder! The Awe Cast is a collective moment for you and I to slow down and reflect on what matters most in life. I hope you choose to join me as I share my insights and photography to help us see ourselves and our lives more mindfully.
