In this episode of Healthy Mind Healthy Life, host Sayan sits down with Jacquie Elliott to break down why holiday stress and family dynamics can crank up your inner critic. Fast. Jacquie reframes “self criticism” as abusive brain chatter. A deeper pattern of emotional self-abuse that fuels low self-worth, comparison and people-pleasing. You'll learn her ABCs framework to interrupt the spiral, rebuild self-respect and practice self-love in a practical way through awareness, belief and challenge. About the Guest: Jacquie Elliott is a certified spiritual and relationship coach, seasoned radio host and motivational speaker. She's the author of The Silent Bully: A Journey from Abusive Brain Chatter to Self-Love, and teaches simple tools to shift from “tornado head” into boundaries, presence and a healthier inner relationship. Key Takeaways: Name the inner critic for what it is. Jacquie calls it “abusive brain chatter”. Not just negative thoughts but a pattern that bullies, belittles and gaslights you, especially during holiday pressure and family triggers. Use the ABCs framework in real time. A is Aware: notice the script and write it down. B is Belief: reconnect to a loving inner source through journaling, meditation, prayer or a grounding ritual. C is Challenge: replace old core beliefs like “I'm not enough” with one sentence that is 10% kinder and more true. Watch for “Tornado Head”. That spiral where one mistake becomes a whole identity story. The reset is to return “home” to the present moment and get heart centered before you problem solve. Make self love practical. Start with 2 to 3 minutes of meditation. Journal both voices. List your top values and check alignment. Take small actions that build self respect and reduce shame. Build momentum with micro wins. Random acts of kindness and gratitude can create a dopamine lift that supports consistency, confidence and healthier boundaries. Holiday reminder. You do not need perfect mindset. You need a tool you will actually use when things get loud, tense or triggering.

James now helps audiences worldwide move from victim mindset to active ownership of their future.   Key Takeaways: Adversity does not need your approval. it needs your acceptance. James is clear that accepting a life changing injury does not mean liking it. It means acknowledging reality so you can take responsibility and move. His ABC framework is deliberately simple. A. Accept adversity. B. Begin battling. C. Conquer the challenge. If you can remember the alphabet up to C, you can remember the system. Acceptance is a process, not a moment. James spent about five years in denial and depression, yet he kept trying therapies, rehabs and strength work during that time. Progress and grief can coexist. After 18 different rehabs, he stopped chasing walking as the only “win” and shifted to education and life design. College, a degree and a future he could actually live became the new definition of success. Family mindset matters. his family chose a positive, solution oriented lens, doing hours of home physical therapy together instead of internalizing the “nursing home” recommendation. Ownership is non negotiable. once you are up, dressed and in your chair or body for the day, James insists it is your responsibility to use tools, the internet, communities and education to build the best life available to you.   How Listeners Can Connect With Dr. James Perdue   Dr. James keeps it simple.

GG Hawkins speaks with directors Jessica Dimmock and Zackary Canepari about their haunting and thought-provoking HBO documentary Thoughts & Prayers. The film offers a chillingly observational look at the normalization of school shootings in America—not by focusing on the tragedies themselves, but by examining the surreal, billion-dollar industry of “school safety” that's risen in their aftermath. Through restrained cinematography and a surprisingly dark sense of humor, Dimmock and Canepari capture how everyday life continues against the backdrop of unimaginable trauma, and how children are often more articulate than adults about the realities they face. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guests discuss... How the project evolved from a photo series to a full-length documentary The cultural and industrial normalization of school shootings in America Why the film avoids graphic depictions of violence and instead focuses on the systems around it The use of stillness, humor, and wide shots as storytelling tools Casting nontraditional “characters” in a documentary format The emotional challenges of working with children on such a sensitive topic Co-directing as creative collaborators and partners The gear and post-production tools that made the film possible Why the title Thoughts & Prayers was chosen and how satire plays into it Memorable Quotes: "In the middle of learning your ABCs, you pause to practice for mass death, and then you go back to learning... that's the chilling part." "Cut this more like a scene in a Christopher Guest film than in an important documentary.” "None of the adults ever say anything about guns... it's always the kids." "We're not going to practice our way out of this."

On this episode, I cover the ABCs of professional communication, just as I teach them to my MBA students. One of the simplest ways to elevate your professional communication—whether you're writing an email, pitching a strategy, or presenting to senior leaders—is to filter your message through three words: Active, Brief, and Clear. They sound basic, almost obvious. But in practice, they create a powerful discipline that separates high-quality communicators from everyone else. Active: Own the Message Active communication is energetic, direct, and accountable. It starts with the choice to use active voice—"We analyzed the data" instead of "The data was analyzed"—but it goes beyond grammar. Being active signals leadership. It tells your audience who is responsible, what action is being taken, and why it matters. It brings confidence to your tone, clarity to your reasoning, and momentum to your message. Brief: Respect Attention Being brief isn't about cutting until your message feels hollow. It's about stripping away anything that dilutes the point. In a world full of competing priorities and overloaded inboxes, brevity is a form of respect. Shorter sentences, concrete words, clear slide titles, and focused agendas make your message easier to absorb—and easier to act on. Brevity doesn't mean simplicity of thought; it means simplicity of delivery. You're curating the signal, not broadcasting the whole noise. Clear: Make Understanding Effortless Clarity is the culmination of the first two principles. When your message is active and brief, clarity emerges naturally—but it still needs intention. Clear communication uses plain language, not jargon. It uses structure—beginning, middle, end—to guide your audience. It uses formatting and visual hierarchy to make information scannable. Above all, it ensures that your audience never wonders: What does this mean, and what should I do with it? Clarity is not optional. It's the price of admission for influencing decisions. Why ABC Matters When communication is active, brief, and clear, it's easier to trust—and harder to misunderstand. Your audience feels more confident in you. They're more likely to remember your message. And they're far more likely to act. Whether you're writing a memo, drafting a slide deck, or speaking in a meeting, the ABCs give you a repeatable way to refine your thinking and elevate your delivery. Active shows ownership. Brief shows respect. Clear shows mastery. Together, they define the core of effective business communication.

Structure isn't a formatting exercise. It's the foundation of every clear, persuasive communication. Whether you're giving a presentation, writing an email, or leading a meeting, structure is the difference between an idea that gets ignored and an idea that creates action. In the latest episode of Conversations on Careers and Professional Life, we explore why structure matters so profoundly — and how leaders, students, and professionals can use it to communicate with more clarity and impact. Why Structure Matters Human beings aren't wired to process information in random fragments. We make sense of the world through stories — beginnings, middles, and ends. As you put it in the episode, we're not "data digesters"; we're storytellers. And when communication wanders, attention wanders with it. A clear structure reduces cognitive friction. It guides your audience through the idea. It shows respect for their time and sets you apart as someone who thinks and leads with intention. The Universal Arc: Beginning → Middle → End The classic story shape applies perfectly to business communication: Beginning: What's the point? Middle: Why does it matter? End: What should we do? In practice, this means starting with your main idea — the recommendation, insight, or conclusion — and only then walking people through the reasoning. This mirrors the Pyramid Principle, but it also aligns with how executives think: give me the destination first, then show me the path. A Simple Structure That Works Everywhere: What → So What → Now What You referenced Matt Abrahams' framework from Think Faster, Talk Smarter: What: The headline or central idea So What: The significance — why it matters Now What: The implication or action This structure keeps communication focused and future-oriented. It helps audiences quickly understand context, importance, and next steps. And when you use it, people stop interrupting with "What's your point?" because you've already answered it. Slide Structure: One Idea, One Message Every slide should tell a mini-story: A clear title that states the point, not a topic A single idea supported by one graph, chart, or set of bullets Visuals that reinforce your narrative rather than compete with it The slide is scaffolding — not the building. Your voice delivers the narrative; the slide supports it. Meeting Structure: Avoid the Rudderless Hour Unstructured meetings drift. Structured meetings decide. A simple three-bullet agenda can turn an hour-long discussion into a 20-minute decision. Before any meeting, ask: What's the goal? What's the sequence that gets us there? What decisions or actions do we need? Structure creates momentum, momentum creates clarity, and clarity creates action. Editing as Structural Discipline Editing is structuring. This is where Chekhov's Gun becomes a communication tool: remove anything that doesn't serve the message. Ask: If I cut this sentence, slide, or data point, does the meaning change? If not, remove it. Editing isn't erasing work — it's generosity. It gives your audience time and brings clarity. Remember the ABCs! A Simple Method for Structuring Anything Identify your main point. List two or three reasons that support it. Add only the evidence necessary to prove those reasons. Arrange it in a natural sequence — then cut everything else. It's deceptively simple, but rarely done well — and that's why it stands out. The Leadership Signal Ultimately, structure is more than communication mechanics. It's a leadership signal. Structured communicators show that they think clearly, respect their audience, and understand how decisions get made. The episode closes with a reminder worth repeating: Structure isn't just a communication tool. It's a mark of how you think. And it matters more than most people realize.

Jamison Price returns to discuss his new guide on self-mastery, "On Dragons, Lions, & Wolves."He shares three metaphors that define the path from inner transformation to outer impact: facing your dragons (the shame, addiction, and fear within), chasing your lions (the external threats that demand courage), and taming your wolves (integrating strength and wisdom to belong).This conversation explores why self-actualization isn't the end goal—it's shared-actualization, becoming someone dangerous to darkness and dependable in the light.

Contributor: Meghan Hurley, MD Educational Pearls: 1. Initial Assessment Start with a physical examination: Determine if the bleed is anterior or posterior. Perform a primary survey: assess airway, breathing, and circulation (ABCs). Airway compromise = intubation immediately. If the patient is stable, have them blow out any clots, then re-examine the nares. 2. Topical Medications Anesthetics: provide local anesthesia and pain relief. Lidocaine Tetracaine Vasoconstrictors: reduce bleeding. LET (Lidocaine, Epinephrine, Tetracaine) is ideal because it provides anesthesia and vasoconstriction. Cocaine pledgets (less common). Tranexamic acid (TXA). Oxymetazoline (Afrin). Cautery (Chemical): If an anterior bleed is visualized, silver nitrate can be applied for cauterization 3. Technique Tips Use a nasal speculum. Spread up and down rather than side to side to avoid injury to the septum. Place LET-soaked gauze in the nares. Apply a nasal clamp for ~15 minutes to compress the vessels. Note that pledgets may cause upper lip numbness 4. Reassessment After 15 minutes, remove materials and inspect for a source of bleeding. If still bleeding and a source is identified, cauterize the site. Observe for 15 minutes to monitor for recurrence of bleeding. 5. Packing If the above measures fail to control bleeding: Anterior packing: Nasal tampon (Merocel) Convenient for outpatient removal. Balloon device Inflate the anterior balloon for compression. Posterior packing:  More complex, should consult ENT for additional assistance. 6. Disposition & Follow-Up Although rare, toxic shock syndrome is a possible complication of nasal packing. Antibiotic prophylaxis is controversial, but may be considered in high-risk patients. Outpatient follow-up if stable: Tampon: The patient can remove it at home. Balloon: Return to ED for removal. 7. Risk Factors for Epistaxis & Prevention Deviated septum, dry environments, and anticoagulant use Advise on humidifier use, nasal saline, and medication review to minimize future episodes.
