MindFULL conversations
MindFULL conversations brings "mindful conversations" to folks seeking practical information for self-awareness, and the ability to see themselves reflected in what inspires them, validates their insights, and normalizes what they're pondering. With actionable tips and useful conversations about career transitions, new ideas about books and the journeys it takes to write them, and creative perspectives that will shift you around life's everyday moments, MindFULL conversations unlocks what's inside of YOU.
This podcast will:
- Inspire you to take action.
- Delight you with new ideas.
- Encourage you to take one step toward your dreams.
- Help you to find new ways of being in the world you hadn’t thought of.
And how does this happen? By releasing something inside of the conversationalist, and the listener, with an engaging question.
For over 30 years, your host, Robin Glickstein, Ed.M., was on the client and agency side of the business and collected 100s of ideas. She spent 25 years hearing 1,000s of personal insights from all kinds of people and learned to hone her questions and unlock insights. With nowhere to put all the ideas that she was having, Robin began The MindFULL Creative, a blog written from noticing how her mind was so FULL of inspirational stories and creative ideas (tips, insights, personal musings and awesome folks doing wonderful work, etc.). She then went on to learn about a podcast that encouraged her to bring her ideas and insights to a new level. Prone to micro-conversations with folks in line for groceries, on planes and almost anywhere she goes, Robin's mind continued to be FULL and thus, MindFULL conversations (lower c) was born.
In this podcast, you will hear conversations with guests who have made the leap to where they are today – and actionable strategies that can help you jump!

Telling Your Story: Love, Loss and Bold Living
Everyone has a story. Have you every thought about telling yours? Today’s guest, Nancy Sharp has quite a story to tell and is a nationally recognized speaker and trainer on resilience and making bold change through storytelling.
Nancy never set out to change people's lives, but hard experience led her on a journey of resilience to do just that. Today, she draws upon her unforgettable story--along with proven research and customized, practical tools--to help individuals, teams, and organizations push beyond disruption and adversity toward growth and change. Her prizewinning memoir Both Sides Now: A True Story of Love, Loss, and Bold Living is a portrait of the surprising turns life takes and the resilience it takes to keep stepping forward. I had the honor of narrating Nancy’s book and getting to know Nancy. Lucky for many, Nancy is now adding certified instructor in Guided Autobiography to her long list of accomplishments. Guided Autobiography (GAB) is a proven method of helping people of all ages and backgrounds capture and share meaningful moments and life stories. Listen in as Nancy tells us how we can be the authors of our own stories.
Episode Takeaways:
1. “Seeing Takes Time” - We need to reframe who we are so we can move forward with new stories about events that happen, or don’t happen, to us.
2. “If not now, when? “ - That simple question can guide us and reminds us to get out of the past and move forward.
3. “When we own our stories we own our lives” - Resilience is learning to integrate lessons and losses to transcend challenges. It’s not just bouncing back. It helps us understand what we need to learn and integrating the lesson to help us climb the mountain with all we have to carry.
