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!

Composing Peace in Ukraine
Today's mindful conversation is with Ostap Manulyak (OS-TAP ManOOYA).
Almost exactly a year ago, I had a spontaneous conversation with my friend John Yackus, who phoned it in from the border of Poland, where he and other retired United pilot friends had joined the World Kitchen to distribute food to folks fleeing Ukraine. Sad to say, that today, the war is raging on. John and his friends went back to Ukraine last month and John met Ostap and called me and said, "I have a guy for you to talk with".
Ostap Manulyak is an assistant professor in the Composition Department of the Lviv Music Academy and a co-founder of Art Association NURT, director of the Festival of electroacoustic music VOX ELECTRONICA and Experimental Educational Studio of Electroacoustic Music (EESEM) of Lviv Music Academy. During the 2018-19 academic year, he was a visiting researcher at the Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustic (CCRMA) of Stanford University (California) as Fulbright Fellow. He has recently received several awards. In 2020, he received the Mykola Leontovych Award for choral composition and in 2021, the Stanislav Liudkevych Award for works composed since 2018.
In our MindFULL conversation, Ostap refered to many interesting web sites:
Website links for Unarmed Civilians killed that are Culturally related https://apnews.com/hub/war-crimes-watch-ukraine
A few stories which he translated to English https://drive.google.com/file/d/16ZVv0y1Ogywl_YJkg8hDX0aBvjeaXZaV/view?usp=share_link
Carols of Bells link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shchedryk_(song)
NYC – Ukrainian Festival https://www.ucmfnyc.com/
And a few stories about artists who joined Ukrainian Armed Forces https://ui.org.ua/en/culture-fights-back-2/
Give a listen to our conversation! I think you will agree with him that keeping art initiatives alive is very important to showing that Ukraine stands tall and has not lost!
