For Kathy Kasten, the answer may have less to do with the work itself and more to do with the person doing it.

In this conversation, we explore the experiences, decisions, and unexpected turns that shaped Kathy's life and work. Along the way, a recurring pattern emerges: an ability to recognize potential, notice what others overlook, and turn an opportunity to serve into something meaningful.

Her story raises a larger question about the paths we take and the identities we accumulate. What if the different chapters of our lives aren't as disconnected as they seem? What if something essential has been there all along?

Sometimes, understanding where we're going begins with recognizing what has never really changed.

What emerged wasn’t resignation, but resolve.

In this conversation, Jennifer shares how a long season of physical struggle became the catalyst for a different way of living, one rooted in listening, self advocacy, and a deep commitment to nourishing the body rather than managing it.

In this episode of Cellophane,
I sit down with Cam Earle-Dennis, educator, behavioral scientist, and founder of reMINDed, whose work connects neuroscience, trauma-informed practice, and social-emotional learning.

But Cam’s work didn’t begin in a research lab or a strategy meeting.
It began as a quiet third grader who stopped speaking after being mocked for her Jamaican accent, until one teacher saw something in her she hadn’t yet seen in herself.

That moment changed everything.

From surviving Hurricane Andrew and witnessing communities move beyond pity into compassion to now building programs that help schools rewire how they support students and educators, Cam’s work is rooted in one simple belief:
Love is not just a feeling.
Love is a verb.

What emerges is not just a story of drive, but of authorship, the decision to be the one responsible for her life, her work, and ultimately, her legacy.
But beneath the polished presence of a media professional is a deeper truth. Carla is not simply an on-air personality. She is a builder, a connector, and a risk-holder who has carried the full weight of entrepreneurship for decades, often unseen.
As she steps into a new chapter, her focus shifts. The same independence that once fueled personal ambition is now being redirected toward creating opportunities for young people, helping them find their own path, skill set, and sense of possibility.
This episode explores the tension between independence and support, the myth of balance, the quiet work of staying grounded during moments of doubt, and the choice to keep moving forward, even when the path feels uncertain.

It is not through deficits, but through strengths. What began as a college assessment became a lifelong lens that now shapes how she leads, coaches, parents, and lives.
But this isn’t just about strength-based leadership.
It’s about authenticity and the quiet cost of living out of alignment.
It’s about the difference between happiness and contentment.
It’s about the unseen hunger in people, no matter where they live or how successful they appear.
And it’s about the courage it takes to actually name what’s right about yourself and not immediately talk to yourself out of it.

Along the way, Bethany reframes what it means to be stuck, challenges how we think about well-being, and offers a simple but confronting question:
Can you name one thing that’s right about you?

It is not through deficits, but through strengths. What began as a college assessment became a lifelong lens that now shapes how she leads, coaches, parents, and lives. <br /> But this isn’t just about strength-based leadership. <br /> It’s about authenticity and the quiet cost of living out of alignment. <br /> It’s about the difference between happiness and contentment. <br /> It’s about the unseen hunger in people, no matter where they live or how successful they appear. <br /> And it’s about the courage it takes to actually name what’s right about yourself and not immediately talk to yourself out of it. <br /><br /> Along the way, Bethany reframes what it means to be stuck, challenges how we think about well-being, and offers a simple but confronting question:<br /> Can you name one thing that’s right about you? <br /> This conversation about clarity, identity, and the kind of self-awareness that doesn’t just change how you work, but how you live.no01:04:47What’s Right About You: How Owning Who You Are Changes Everything with Bethany von Steinbergsfull
