17. Building Community Through Courageous Conversations - A New Movement Is Happening in Colorado Springs
Some conversations are easy—small talk, pleasantries, the usual. But what about the hard conversations? The ones that push us, challenge us, and ultimately help us grow? That’s exactly what Brooke Mikulas is all about.
As the co-founder of Kinship Landing, Brooke built a thriving boutique hotel rooted in deep community connections—despite launching in the middle of a pandemic. But her passion doesn’t stop there. Through her newest venture, Sonderwin & Co, she’s creating spaces for people to step outside their comfort zones and engage in the kinds of conversations that truly matter.
From end-of-life planning over “Morgues and Margaritas” to retreats designed to foster raw, unfiltered dialogue, Brooke is proving that when we embrace courageous conversations, we don’t just connect—we transform.
If you're ready to rethink how you approach tough topics, challenge yourself, and build deeper relationships, this episode is for you.
Hit play and join the conversation!
