I feature a Non-profit Org to spread awareness. I share bookkeeping tips and stories from my life as a business owner. Inspiring other business owners by showing the wild hearts of entrepreneurs and how they cannot be tamed. And just to chat, laugh, and enjoy one another. Shireen approaches business and life, in general, through the lens of wanting to multiply the light in the world. Whether client, colleague, or friend, she has a special understanding of people. Separate from bookkeeping, her Friends From Wild Places podcast serves as a platform for connection where business owners can share their work and life experiences and even their wild hearts and passions in a safe space. The podcast also allows entrepreneurs to share about nonprofits that have special meaning for them.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-14T16:18:54.520527+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/friends-from-wild-places-5319610"},"episode":{"title":"Grief With Gentle Hands","slug":"grief-with-gentle-hands","published_at":"2026-02-14T18:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/friends-from-wild-places-5319610/grief-with-gentle-hands","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/friends-from-wild-places-5319610","url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/1958102/episodes/18642282-grief-with-gentle-hands.mp3","audio_url":"https://www.buzzsprout.com/1958102/episodes/18642282-grief-with-gentle-hands.mp3","summary":"A profound exploration of how to navigate profound loss without rushing the healing process.
