This week, Marta opens up about a subject close to her heart: her brother Mark, and more specifically, his and her family's dance with autism. In this episode, Marta and Fiona explore their experiences having brothers with autism. Autism is often invisible in its nature - until it's very visible - and we hope this conversation offers you a glimpse into the world accessed by families affected by it. While we know not everyone will be touched by autism, we bring this conversation to you because we all engage with differentness. We all have family systems from which we are rooted. May you be enlightened by the joy autism can bring, and softened to hold a little more compassion for those you encounter. As Fiona's mom likes to say, "in a world where you can be anything, be kind." Big love. Connect with Marta Website | Instagram | LinkedIn

In today's episode, Marta interviews Dr. Glenn Fox, a neuroscientist and Assistant Professor of Clinical Entrepreneurship at the USC Marshall School of Business.

Marta and Glenn dive into his formula for peak performance, the backbone of his course "The Science of Peak Performance," which is heart -> command -> lift. Along the way, they discuss laying down their egos in order to follow their hearts, practicing positive self talk and self-compassion, and how to reward--or, better yet, reinforce--desired behaviors as parents. This episode is guaranteed to prompt you to purchase some juggling balls, or, at the very least, inspire you to go and do something fun. We recommend taking some notes from this one!
