Today’s episode is with my favorite couple Sandi Stuart and Barnet Bain!

She also co-leads a virtual adoption support group with her daughter, an adult adoptee.

Sandi is a member of the Transformational Leadership Council, and The Southern California Association of Transformational Leaders which is where we met.  Prior to teaching and coaching, Sandi served as Executive Vice President of Sales for apparel giant Bugle Boy Industries for a remarkable 26 years.

Some of his documentaries include Chasing Einstein (consulting producer) and When I was Young I Said I Would be Happy (producer).   Barnet served as a core faculty member at Spirituality Mind Body Institute at Teachers College, Columbia University, the first Ivy League masters concentration in spirituality and psychology.   He is the author of The Book of Doing and Being: Rediscovering Creativity in Life, Love and Work (Atria, 2015), and The Third Story: Awakening the Love that Transforms (Spindrift, 2013).
