Conversations from Here...

Welcome to Conversations from Here with me Dana Ziegler. These candid, unfettered talks create connection and inspiration across the human story. These are the sharings of how we came to be ourselves, how we found our life’s purpose and how we made it from there to here. I speak with performers, artists, artisans, creators, innovators, entrepreneurs and other remarkable people about what they do and how they came to do it. Also, the music you hear on this show is performed, as always, by Brad Watson.

On this episode of Conversations from Here, I speak with my friend and collaborator, Dr. Jess Lakin. Jess is the founder of Mother Tree Healing Arts-- holistic life coach, meditation guide, healer, sound bath facilitator and creator of transformational retreats for women. In this chat, we discuss creating space for change-- both in the outer and inner landscapes. So, for anyone who wants to create space-- whether external (as in physical space) or internal (as in psychological/awareness space)-- we give you some things to consider as places to start.
This episode is the first in a wellness series called "Where to Start" where Jess and I will roll out several episodes over the next few months. Our hope is that these discussions will inspire joyful exploration and discovery of your own wellness practices. The great Taoist sage Lao Tse once said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." Here is our offering to help you on your way!

I put on my Wellness Coach hat and guide you through ways of creating a more active and expansive way of being.

In this episode I speak to you as my wellness advisor self-- as the founder of Zen Body Living. I discuss how one can begin to clear space for change, to overcome overwhelm and set yourself on a path to a healthier, happier, more beautiful life! Normally this podcast is all about the interview, but, of late, I have felt moved to tap into my nearly 30 years of real-life practices for healthy living, plus a few of my teachings-- and share them with you!

Episode 37: A Controversial Issue

Wednesday Aug 10, 2022

Wednesday Aug 10, 2022

In this special episode, I grapple with an issue that is front and center in our nation today. There has been such divisiveness and polarization over this that I wanted to speak to it. This is a very serious and difficult conversation-- a most adult topic-- so please, keep the kids out of the room. Thank you for listening!

It's been a minute! After taking 6 months off to nest and acclimate to our new home, I wanted to bring you a dispatch from the American South. Here's how it's going so far with local gems, sweet people, great coffee, Land Rovers, car museums and the native insect population!

On today's episode of Conversations from Here, I speak with MORTY COYLE-- singer, songwriter, DJ, proud papa and captain of what is normally The FOCKRs (Friends of Canter's Kibitz Room) on Tuesday nights at the Kibitz. We take a deep dive into growing up in Los Angeles in the 1970s and '80s with extended family and friends, hitting the music scene early, overcoming stage fright, straddling worlds in music-making and in DJ-ing, his life-long collaboration with fellow class-clown Jordan Summers, being a dad to daughter Bea and what's next for All Day Sucker. Great talk!

Friday Dec 10, 2021

On this episode of Conversations from Here, I speak with German-born musician, vocalist and producer THOMAS BARQUEE! We talk about his beginnings as a classically-trained pianist and composer, his foray into the pop scene, his observations on the music business and returning to his roots as a creative artist. We delve into many issues of the day, including the role of the media in public perception, the perils and pluses of charisma, the polarization of opinion and the solace of a connection to Nature in troubling times. A wide-ranging and thought-provoking chat! I hope you enjoy it.
