Email: aaron@circlesedges.org There are moments when the world feels heavy with brokenness, when problems gather around us and something inside wants to move quickly toward repair. Aaron gently lingers in that space, exploring the quiet pull to become the fixer in every room. With steady presence and thoughtful questioning, he invites us to notice the subtle line between compassionate presence and...

Something is shifting again, and this time it feels subtle enough to miss. We are using AI to negotiate our bills. To draft our emails. To guide our conversations. Scripts are talking to scripts while we sit in the middle, repeating words we did not fully form ourselves. Most of us have not stopped to ask what that does to us. In the second part of this AI conversation, Amy and guest, Bill Kirst,...

Content Note: This episode includes a brief first-person account of physical and sexual assault. Listener discretion is advised. This episode is about Radical Acceptance and Radical — and I mean radical — Self Love. Acceptance of uncharacteristic looks. Acceptance of our race. Acceptance of real physical pain. Acceptance of aging. But ultimately, it is about accepting the shadow all the way throug...

Something is happening in our lives, and we can all feel it. Voices can be cloned. Stories can be automated. Images can be generated. And most of us are moving through it without fully stopping to ask what that does to our humanity.. In this first part of a two-part conversation, Amy sits down with returning guest Bill Kirst to explore what it means to live in a world where we are beginning to que...

“Ferocious Compassion requires that I find the courage to speak my truth, to find the courage to be disliked, to find the courage to turn and face confrontation.  Ferocious Compassion guides me to choose authenticity over approval. It allows me the freedom to assert myself, to be vulnerable, to express, not suppress my true emotions and intentions.”    - Author, Sandra Bargman Today we are #LiveIn...

Growth often begins the moment we admit the current container can no longer hold what wants to emerge. Amy shares the behind-the-scenes evolution of Create Magic at Work and the birth of Magic Thread Media, a podcast network created to give expansive voices the space they deserve. Rooted in spiritual intelligence, creative courage, and deep listening, the reflection honors what has been built whil...

Aaron invites listeners into a quiet inner space where uncertainty is no longer something to overcome, but something to notice and meet with care. Through personal reflection and thoughtful inquiry, the episode explores how uncertainty shapes our sense of self, revealing the ways we cling to certainty for safety and how that grip can quietly limit us. Rather than offering guidance or resolution, t...

What if the parts of you you’ve learned to doubt are actually the ones trying to guide you home? In this conversation, Cari sits with Trudy Goodman to explore the quiet but profound cost of not trusting ourselves—and the long, compassionate path of returning to that trust. Not as a concept, but as a lived, embodied relationship with intuition, vulnerability, and truth. Trudy shares how a lifelong...

What if the ways you’ve learned to cope… are also the ways you’ve learned to stay away from yourself? Cari sits down with Lisa Danylchuk to explore what it actually means to lean into pain—not forcefully, not all at once, but with enough support to stay present to what’s real. Together, they unpack the many forms avoidance can take—overworking, overgiving, numbing, performing—and how easy it is to...

What if the life you’ve built—your strengths, your identity, even your success—is only half the story? In this conversation, Cari sits with Henry Most to explore what happens after we’ve learned how to “be someone” in the world. The ways we adapt, achieve, and belong aren’t random—they’re shaped early, often in response to what was welcomed and what wasn’t. Over time, those adaptive strategies bec...

What if the reason this work feels unclear… is because you’ve been trying to approach it from your mind instead of your body? Cari takes the conversation out of theory and into practice, answering the question so many people quietly carry: how do I actually do this? Not conceptually, not intellectually—but in a way that creates real movement. Using the metaphor of Ruth Asawa’s wire sculptures, she...

What if the parts of you you’ve worked hardest to hide are the ones quietly shaping everything? Cari opens a deeper layer of the work by naming what most of us instinctively avoid—the emotions, patterns, and experiences we’ve tucked away in order to function, belong, or feel in control. She calls it “trash,” not to diminish it, but to make it approachable enough to finally turn toward. Because wha...

There’s a moment in every life where something cracks open—quietly or violently—and asks us to look closer. Not at what’s polished or presentable, but at what we’ve hidden, avoided, or quietly abandoned within ourselves. This opening episode is an invitation into that space. Cari Jacobs-Crovetto shares a life shaped by both deep sensitivity and profound disruption—early vision loss, emotional inst...

Most professionals believe their work should speak for itself until they realize opportunity favors those who are understood, not just competent. In a grounded, candid conversation, Shauna Van Mourik explores why personal branding is no longer about self-promotion, but about clarity, connection, and translating internal value into external opportunity. Together, the discussion reframes personal br...

Today we are #LIVEInTheHIVE with Brian Gorman, maverick leadership coach and author of Leading into the Age of Wisdom: Reimagining the Future of Work.  Brian writes: “ When hierarchies falter, networks and circles emerge. When loyalty contracts dissolve, people seek belonging and purpose. When change accelerates, organizations must cultivate adaptability and rhythm. When technology grows powerful,...

Something breaks when devotion outpaces reciprocity, and many high-performing women do not realize the cost until the collapse is unavoidable. In this conversation, Alexandra Norris traces her journey from decades of HR leadership into a profound reckoning shaped by codependence, ambition, and identity loss. Together with Amy, she explores how care becomes self-erasure, why boundaries fail where s...

If your life hasn’t been a neat, white picket fence… If you’ve learned how to function, succeed, even thrive—while something inside still feels tight, unfinished, or quietly aching—this podcast is for you. Finding Treasures in the Trash is an invitation to turn toward what you’ve avoided: the anxiety, the unease, the stories you were taught to disown. Through intimate conversations with teachers,...

Finding Treasures in the Trash has always lived between what we hide and what saves us, and this moment marks its most honest turning point yet. Cari Jacobs-Crovetto shares why the show is stepping out on its own and moving to the newly formed Magic Thread Media, a network devoted to weaving conscious voices into business, creativity, and spiritual life. As she reflects on the early episodes, Cari...

Our lives move in patterns long before we notice them. We learn what keeps us safe, what helps us belong, and what allows us to move through the world with less risk and less pain. In this first quiet gathering of Circles | Edges , Aaron invites listeners into a candlelit, late night space to reflect on those familiar cycles and the masks we wear to survive them. Beginning with a story from his nu...

Why high achievers keep chasing and still feel unsatisfied often has little to do with effort and everything to do with where attention is placed. In this conversation, Amy and Harper A. Bailey unpack how driven people become conditioned to equate movement with progress and achievement with worth, slowly losing connection to their internal signals along the way. They explore how performance mode,...

Something shifts when joy stops being a side effect of success and becomes a conscious way of living and leading.

Happy New Year Everyone! Goodbye 2025 and hello 2026.  I have high hopes for 2026. We can all agree 2025 has been quite an insane roller coaster of a ride, to put it mildly. A Universal 1 Year (2026) is a threshold. It begins a new nine-year story not only for the world, but for each of us. If you imagine the past nine years as a chapter – from 2017 to 2025 – the 1 Year is the moment the next chap...
