Hi Friend, and welcome to the Idea of Us. A Podcast that highlights good by interviewing great minds and learning best practices. We discuss the big questions: What and who is us? What is good, and how much good is good? Also, what does it mean if we truly care for each other? In this episode, I have the honor to speak to Arjana van der Plas about the topic of homelessness. Arianna is a multitalented and faced person. She is an Engineer, Yoga teacher, Leadership Coach, and co-founder of Women’s Hub Zurich. A safe space for women to build community, grow & develop and support each other. A digital session of the Women's Hub is also where we met the first time and we connected over LinkedIn where I saw that she was working in the impact space and learned more about the project behind the fog. Which is a project where she together with other change-makers are shares stories about people that don’t have a home in San Francisco. Their mission is to humanize homelessness one story at a time and I am so excited that she agreed to share all our insights, wisdom, experience, and perspective in today’s Show about a difficult topic that needs to be addressed and solved. In this episode, you will learn more about Arjannas's inspiring story and the topic of homelessness in San Francisco.

Hi Friend and welcome to the Idea of Us. In this episode, I will discuss the topic of toxic positivity. I saw a beautifully constructed post about that topic on the Instagram page from Sarah MC Donald Artist and the context, as well as the art, captured my mind and soul immediately. I shared it with my community on Instagram it resonated with a lot of people. So I thought it only makes sense to research more about it and discuss this. This time today I will share my own perspective and research about Toxic Positivity and how the philosophy of Stoicism can contribute to it and hope you will enjoy it.
