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!

Reflections on Inclusion, Diversity and Self-Publishing
Have you ever thought about writing a book about the work you do? Or, how about self publishing a book you've been wanting to write? Sarah Cordivano did both! Sarah works as a Head of strategy and governance in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Berlin. She’s originally from Philadelphia and moved to Berlin 6 years ago. Sarah’s background is in data analytics and project management and she has just written a book: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion: How to Succeed at an Impossible Job. The book is aimed towards anyone who is starting a job in DEI and wants to know how to get started, how to set a strategy and how to maintain a healthy relationship with the job. It’s very practical and hands-on. Sarah joins us to discuss her book AND her journey in writing it! Listen to Sarah for ideas on how you can write and self publish a book, too!
Takeaways:
1. Actively try to work towards maintaining a healthy relationship with the work you do, and specifically think about good work-life balance -- making sure your time outside of work is as fulfilling as your time spent at work.
2. When you are working towards a significant milestone accomplishment, there’s an important balance between being grateful and appreciative of all the people in your life who have supported you and inspired you, and also being proud of the effort you put into your achievement to make it a success
3. If you are curious about self-publishing, explore how-to videos on YouTube. Self-publishing can be as easy as writing your book in a word document and uploading it to Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing).
