Toni and Jenny are on the road again in the San Francisco Bay Area. This time they meet up with another old pal from Toni’s high school days – Alicia Guckenheimer. Alicia is an artist and childrens book author, a creative soul who has been creating art as early as she can remember with her father. Eight years ago she traded in her shoe career for the colorful chaos of the classroom where she teaches art t to k-8th graders. She teaches through the beautiful lens of painting a world where everyone shines and weaves compassion and helping others into her art lessons. In her childrens book, Dream Big, Start Small she writes a tale of imagination and compassion and the possibility “if you can dream it you can make it and you can change the world.” The three of them discuss how the messages within the book have a very far reach and speak to the importance of joy, having a starting place, self-empowerment and learning inner strengths in the process of behavior change. You can find Alicia, her book and her art classes on Instagram @dream_big_start_small_13 or on her website.
