Zonie Living Ep. 65 - Unlock the secret to staying resilient, creative, and "spiritually young" with world-renowned executive coach and award-winning professor Dr. Ronda Beaman. In this high-energy episode, Bonnie Stevens sits down with the woman once named part of "America's Most Creative Family" to discuss her unconventional journey from a single mom in Flagstaff to an international leadership force.

Dr. Beaman shares how she turned her massive university classrooms into "television shows," the hard science behind her TED Talk "Die Young as Late as Possible," and how a childhood accident fueled her "go-for-it" attitude. Discover practical lessons on building an Adversity Quotient, the importance of role models like Jane Fonda, and her latest mission as a "Letter Doula," helping people give birth to the words they’ve always wanted to say. Whether you’re a business leader or just looking for a spark of joy, Dr. Beaman’s infectious energy will remind you that every morning is a birthday.
