MindFULL conversations
MindFULL conversations brings "mindful conversations" to folks seeking practical information for self-awareness, and the ability to see themselves reflected in what inspires them, validates their insights, and normalizes what they're pondering. With actionable tips and useful conversations about career transitions, new ideas about books and the journeys it takes to write them, and creative perspectives that will shift you around life's everyday moments, MindFULL conversations unlocks what's inside of YOU.
This podcast will:
- Inspire you to take action.
- Delight you with new ideas.
- Encourage you to take one step toward your dreams.
- Help you to find new ways of being in the world you hadn’t thought of.
And how does this happen? By releasing something inside of the conversationalist, and the listener, with an engaging question.
For over 30 years, your host, Robin Glickstein, Ed.M., was on the client and agency side of the business and collected 100s of ideas. She spent 25 years hearing 1,000s of personal insights from all kinds of people and learned to hone her questions and unlock insights. With nowhere to put all the ideas that she was having, Robin began The MindFULL Creative, a blog written from noticing how her mind was so FULL of inspirational stories and creative ideas (tips, insights, personal musings and awesome folks doing wonderful work, etc.). She then went on to learn about a podcast that encouraged her to bring her ideas and insights to a new level. Prone to micro-conversations with folks in line for groceries, on planes and almost anywhere she goes, Robin's mind continued to be FULL and thus, MindFULL conversations (lower c) was born.
In this podcast, you will hear conversations with guests who have made the leap to where they are today – and actionable strategies that can help you jump!

It Only Takes One!
In this episode, my friend Howard Waldstreicher, tells us how he re-invented himself at 59. Howard started out as a former software engineer, then became a top-tier fitness trainer and post Covid, found his way back again to becoming one of the oldest data engineers at Facebook.
Howard shares his stories and mindful insights. He proves that Life Experience cannot be taught, but new skills can.
3 Takeaways from Howard:
1. Listen to your Mother – Howard’s Mother always said, “Never give up. It only takes one!” He sent out hundreds of resumes and almost gave up…
2. You can reinvent yourself by re-inventing your skills from something you might have done in the past. He was a programmer in his early days. He took classes and sharpened his modern day skills.
3. Return to work programs can help you find your way to something new. Howard found his way to Facebook through the career rentry program called iRelaunch. Check them out here: https://www.irelaunch.com/
