In 1999, New World Library senior publicist and social media manager Kim Corbin created iSkip, a skipping movement that attracted worldwide media attention. In this uplifting conversation with Energy Speaks author Lee Harris on his popular Impact the World podcast, Kim discusses her unique calling as a "skipping activist" and offers a unique perspective on the ups and downs of the creator's journey. She also offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into what it's like to work at New World Library. We hope you’ll enjoy the interview. 

Now more than ever, we as a society are addicted to our phones — and to getting “likes” on our social media posts. And it can work like an actual addiction in our brain chemistry, activating the ventral striatum part of the brain, which is the same area that lights up when we gamble, enjoy a slice of cake, or have sex. But as so many of us know, getting love and approval from outside ourselves is fleeting, and soon we are picking up our phones again, searching for more approval. 

Diana Rowan, author of The Bright Way: Five Steps to Freeing the Creative Within, believes that our collective shelter-in-place experience will ultimately inspire us to honor connection like never before. We hope you’ll enjoy this interview with her about the importance of creativity in challenging times. For more New World Library author interviews, please visit our YouTube channel.

Stop whatever you’re doing. Pause. Close your eyes. Place your hand over your chest and take a deep breath. Allow your thoughts to settle like dancing flakes in a snow globe. Then connect with the wisest part of you.
