Rep. Galonski has served Ohio in a legal capacity for over 15 years-- from a magistrate in domestic relations court, to juvenile court, and currently state legislature.
Listen as we chat about how she advocated as a flight attendant to get similar negotiation privileges as pilots, how she has managed to thrive as often the only woman at the table, lack of diversity in the workplace, and how the average citizen can make impactful changes in their state. This debut episode braves important, but sometimes difficult conversations.

In this episode we are joined by Coach Jim Place, a double UD alum, high school football coach of more than 50 years, and a Character Education Expert. Coach Place describes what makes up one’s character and attitude and the power they both hold. He teaches the basic tools used to define one's personal character and core values, and inspires listeners to recognize the power of small, every day choices.

In this episode we are joined by Ann Brandon who is currently the Director of Prevention at The Ohio Alliance to End Sexual Violence. Ms. Brandon was also involved in the beginning research of Green Dot Philosophy in Northern Kentucky. In the interview, Ms. Brandon shares what is happening throughout Ohio on local and state levels to prevent sexual violence. She reminds us the importance of intervening in instances of power-based personal violence, of learning about the experiences of those from different cultures and backgrounds, and how crucial self-care is every day!
