I created this podcast with the vision of engaging in meaningful conversation with individuals who have identified their core values and have created successful business and/or careers that are rooted firmly in those values. As a consultant and executive and leadership coach and a social psychologist, my mission is to help organizations and people align their values with both their careers and their lives. As such, Catching North Stars is a way for me to identify folks who are creating meaningful work and to share their journeys and successes with others. My goals for the podcast are: 1) to learn and share with others how deep purpose can be transformed into meaningful work; 2) to shine a light on the work of inspirational individuals; 3) to use an Organizational Psychology lens to focus on areas addressing work and workplace issues; and 4) to engage in questions about the meaning of the work and its potential impact on society. I hope the journeys of my guests will inspire you as much as they inspire me!
With great respect, Alexis Halkovic, PhD

In Catching North Stars, Alexis Halkovic interviews inspiring individuals whose core values have driven their careers.
In this episode, we speak with Kalia Garrido - entrepreneur and co-founder of Hike2, creator of Healthy Women Leaders, public speaker and author of "The Well Within: Unlocking Your Personal Power Through Radical Self-Care." Kalia shares her story of how she discovered a deep personal need to find alternative forms of self-care when her tried-and-true workout practice was no longer enough to manage all she was holding. Seeking out inspiration from other women, Kalia discovered her own reservoir of power within herself.

Many of the world’s most caring teachers have made a commitment to love every one of their students, regardless of racial background, but how does this work in practice? Yolanda Sealey-Ruiz, PhD, has been exploring how racial literacy facilitates personal growth for educators and other professionals to attain this goal.
A professor of English Education at Teachers College Columbia University, Yolanda shares her journey to developing her ideas about racial literacy, including her work on the Archaeology of Self, which is a pathway to overcoming racism in oneself and in the world around us. Her poetry is one artifact of this exploration.
