Join host Abigail Wright, in this podcast highlighting the lives of people who balance extraordinary levels of happiness and success.
In 2018, we had the extreme privilege of interviewing Tony Taylor, an author, pilot, and interplanetary navigator. He navigated to every planet in the solar system and was an extraordinary human. Sadly, he passed this August, following his battle with cancer.
In honor of Tony, we've decided to offer his full, extended Patreon episode for free to the public. Thanks to our Patrons for making the original interview possible, to his sister, Lynn Taylor, for making our introduction, and to Tony, for his unabashed spirit and love of life which he so generously shared with us.
If you'd like to share it with anyone, please pass along the original link here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/17720284
We've so been looking forward to this episode with Katie Weatherup, the incredible engineer turned shamanic practitioner of Hands over Heart.

She's super open, vulnerable, and shares with us a way to retrieve parts of our souls we’ve lost along the way.
