In this episode, I interview Rev. Dr. Nori Rost. Nori is the minister at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church and has been a community activist in Colorado Springs for 20 years. Despite prejudices she has faced as a woman in ministry and as a lesbian, she continues to be a person of compassion and inclusion. She is an example of someone who trusts where she is being led and is not afraid to take those leaps into the unknown. I hope you enjoy this glimpse into her journey.For More information about Rev.

In this episode, I interview Dr. Ahriana Platten. She is the Senior Minister of a Unity Spiritual center and hosts a podcast called In Good Faith Conversations. She is an advocate for interfaith dialogue and collaboration.Throughout her life, she has journeyed through various faith traditions and is a perfect example of someone who follows their faith where it leads them without becoming stuck in one modality of expression. I was most impressed by the way she evolved fluidly, and was able to make those spiritual transitions in her life without fear, hesitation, or guilt. Her confidence in her identity and her ability to connect to the divine through diverse expressions is inspiring and liberating.She offers practical and simple input on how to live paying attention to the sacred in every day life, and how to live compassionately toward others.For more information about Ahriana, check out these links:Ahriana PlattenIn Good FaithUnityParliament of the World's Religions
