On today's Season Finale of the How to be Human podcast we are interviewing Lara Foster. Hey, that's me! We were lucky enough to have Steve Brophy return to the podcast and become guest host for the day. Lara Foster is an author, coach and developer. Her debut juvenile fiction novel The Healing Gem of Arcadia released in October 2022! Her curiosity leads the way in life when she writes and creates new projects like this podcast. She is grateful to the experiences and deep connections she has with humans who have helped her to feel and be fully seen and heard. Lara’s gifts to recognize when she is heard is magnified when she turns that mirror towards others inviting them to fully see and hear themselves. This is where her coaching prevails.

Amongst these transcendent qualities, Georgia walks daily with clients and lateral leade

Sharon DeMattia is AN ARTIST and SCIENTIST. She is a systems thinker, strategic optimist, and creative concepts executive who creates large-scale interactive spaces that explore the interconnected relationships between planet and people. She's a dragon rider, an invitation to the curious, and a curator of creative genius. Sharon received her MS from the University of Colorado, Boulder in Kinesiology and Applied Physiology and worked within the Integrative Vascular Biology Lab doing invasive Human subjects research.  As her understanding of the integrity of query, methodology, and measurement expanded, so too did her understanding of the fragility and limitations of adhering solely to linear processes and prediction models. She says, "When we only measure, we tend to miss the meaning; thus causing ecosystems to collapse into themselves from lack of relational cohesion. The art within science is found in the relationships between complex systems and the blurred edges of the spaces between what is purely eviden
