This is a super fun interview with popular NPR radio host and talented interviewer Donna Apidone. Her commitment to her work became a Lifestyle, waking up at 1:30am and getting to the studio by 3am and hosting CapRadio’s Morning Edition. But, 21 years of hosting the show in a 8 x 8 windowless studio and being consumed by the news led her to a world of Meditation. And she is excited now for a new journey and helping others along the way to a calm and complete life.
