A French lawyer stated in 1863, "You are what you eat." For a very long time people thought that only referred to physical nutrition, but we consume brain, soul, and spirit food as well. During this Mental Health Awareness Month, I'd encourage you to consider what you are consuming. Does it truly nourish you? If so, should you consume more? Does it poison you?

"No man is an island" stated John Donne. As we approach Mother's Day that statement is a great reminder that we all owe our existence to two parents. And many of us owe our personal and professional success, in part, to those who collaborated with us in both small and big ways. This episode is not a normal podcast episode. It is an actual example of collaboration. As an author, I have frequently collaborated with book store owners like The Shrine Cultural Center and The Book Reader's Venue to put on literacy events. I've collaborated with other podcasters, authors and entertainers. I've even collaborated with fans and listeners of this podcast as their feedback has made my writing, my events, my workshops and my books better. Thanks so much for this collaboration.

Day 395 on the best seller's list; currently #88 in Kindle- Native American Poetry

Zen Ase, a newly divorced 43 year old Southern woman wanted a fresh start. She'd heard there were plenty of fish to choose from in the modern dating pond. What she discovered were plenty of guppies. Exactly 101 of them!

 

The result? A provocative, transparent, raw and delightfully uncensored account of her experiences with the 101 men she encountered on her journey to find "the one". In Plenty of Guppies, Zen spills all the tea on dating psychology, relationships, and self-discovery, while giving readers a rare glimpse into the life of an award-winning artist and best-selling author. The book is an enlightening narrative that explores gender roles and identity outside of societal expectations.

 

Zen has written a refreshingly mature modern day epic of online dating, layering her personal story with erotic poetic verses and passionate prose that frame her journey toward rebuilding a life as a single woman and adjusting to both an empty nest and boomeranging children.

 

Zen Ase’s story is alternately poignant, hysterical, uplifting, shocking, and (at its heart), a real life example of the old adage "truth is stranger (and can be harder to believe) than fiction".

 

Plenty of Guppies is the book every adult who has loved, lost and lived to try again didn't know they needed and will effortlessly respond and relate to.

 The full book can be found on Amazon at the link below.

Prepare to lose yourself in the enchantingly unorthodox dating world of Zen Ase, best selling author of Zennurgize Your Life.

Join me for an insightful conversation with Katherine Golub. She sums herself up this way, "I coach leaders who are committed to social justice to make lasting impacts without burning out.

Through thousands of hours of coaching people like you, I’ve found that you really can have both: you can be extraordinarily effective while still enjoying your life. The same skills that make an impact also lead to joy.

Whether you receive my Saturday Love Letter or join my free course or engage my services in a more in-depth way, it is my honor to help you cultivate clarity, confidence, and joy."
