Dancing in the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney
Let's face it, life is uncomfortable. Whether it's interacting with other humans (or trying to), going after our goals and improving our lives, or understanding other people's perspectives, preferences and proclivities, being able to face the discomforts in life with courage, compassion, confidence and resilience will make life a lot more enjoyable! So join me as we DANCE IN THE DISCOMFORT ZONE! We'll explore new ideas, learn how to build our confidence, courage and resilience, and laugh a little too, because life is serious enough. We need a little cha cha, and a little ha ha every once in a while! Welcome to the Discomfort Zone with Anne Bonney!

Olesia Sinkova: Ukrainian refugee, mother, yoga teacher and dragon feeder
The situation in Ukraine fills the media with terrible news, but hearing the story from someone who was directly impacted brings an increased level of intensity. This week's guest Olesia Sinkova (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100018842642011) fled Ukraine 2 years ago with her 3 children, her husband and 2 backpacks. They left behind their lives, their jobs, family, friends and their 2 beloved cats to find a safer life in Germany. In this episode, she tells her story, and how she has brought herself and her children through the horrors happening in Ukraine.
We talk about
- The experience in her village, 15 miles from where the main bombardments were happening.
- How she spoke to her children about all the loud noises of war they could hear while playing in the woods near their house
- How she got through her anxiety and depression
- How she's helping her fellow Ukrainians in Cologne, Germany to deal with their feelings of escaping their homeland
