Are you finding that dating, especially after a long relationship or marriage, feels more like a job interview than a playful adventure? Connection gets lost when you're stuck in checklist mode.  But you might find flirtation awkward and unfamiliar so you default to a dry and serious conversation. In Episode 446 of The Charisma Quotient, "Dating Isn't An Interview: Finding Fun & Flow Coaching With Kimmy" Kimmy sits down for a coaching session with Florence, a divorced mother of twins and career nurse, who is bravely navigating the unfamiliar waters of dating after nearly three decades out of the game.  Together, they unpack the challenges of dating in your "second act," where the urge for efficiency, protection, and seriousness can unintentionally sabotage connection, fun, and flirtation. The conversation explores the impact of childhood roles, cultural norms, and years spent in caretaker mode on how we now approach new relationships—often with more caution and control than curiosity or playfulness. Through honest reflection and real-life coaching, Kimmy helps Florence identify her internal roadblocks, develop actionable strategies to shift her mindset from "finding the one" to simply enjoying the journey, and practice the art of flirting without pressure.

Global payouts are evolving faster than ever.

Today, we embark on a profound exploration of autism, guided by the insights of Dr. Theresa Lyons, an esteemed international educator and the visionary founder of Navigating Autism. The crux of our discourse centers on the transformative power of clarity and actionable science in the lives of families navigating autism, illuminating paths previously obscured by uncertainty and misinformation. Dr. Lyons, with a PhD from Yale and experience across more than 21 countries, combines rigorous research with practical wisdom to help parents feel more confident and make informed decisions. We delve into the misconceptions surrounding autism, revealing that it is not an immutable condition, and highlight the growing body of evidence suggesting that many children can achieve optimal outcomes. As we move through this conversation, you'll hear stories and strategies that can foster understanding, compassion, and lasting change for families affected by autism. The episode is a profound exploration of the intersection between personal experience and scientific inquiry, as Dr. Teresa Lyons recounts her journey from a scientist to an advocate for families affected by autism. With a PhD from Yale and extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry, Dr. Lyons leveraged her brilliant mind to develop Navigating Autism, a platform dedicated to disseminating clear, actionable information to parents. Throughout the discussion, she reflects on the misconceptions that often plague the realm of autism, notably the fallacy that it is a static, unchangeable condition. Dr. Lyons articulates the revelation that many children may lose their autism diagnosis over time, a fact supported by burgeoning research. This pivotal moment in her narrative not only underscores the necessity of a paradigm shift in how we view autism but also emphasizes the importance of equipping parents with the tools and knowledge to foster their child's development. The episode is peppered with practical advice, encouraging parents to seek out specialists who can provide accurate diagnoses and to embrace a mindset of hope and proactive engagement. By the conclusion, listeners are left with a sense of agency, understanding that the path to improvement is not only possible but within their reach, thanks to informed choices grounded in scientific evidence.The dialogue unfolds with an introduction to the transformative journey of Dr. Teresa Lyons, a luminary in autism education and an Ivy League scientist. Spearheading Navigating Autism, she has devised a platform that distills intricate scientific research into practical, digestible advice for families grappling with autism. The discussion delves into Dr. Lyons' personal experiences as a parent of an autistic child, which significantly informed her professional endeavors. Here, she shares the poignant realization that the common narrative surrounding autism often lacks a nuanced understanding of its potential for improvement. The conversation touches upon the critical importance of seeking knowledgeable medical professionals for accurate diagnoses and actionable insights, emphasizing that autism does not invariably equate to a life-long sentence—it can evolve positively with the right support and resources. By sharing her expertise gleaned from working with families across 21 countries, Dr. Lyons elucidates the universal challenges parents face, while simultaneously highlighting the unique cultural perceptions of autism. This multifaceted approach not only enlightens listeners about the science behind autism but also instills hope and empowerment in families navigating this complex landscape, as she stresses that a well-informed parent can significantly alter their child's trajectory.Takeaways:Dr. Teresa Lyons emphasizes that autism is not a lifelong condition for every individual, as recent research indicates that a significant percentage of children diagnosed with autism lose their diagnosis over time, reflecting the potential for improvement.Parents should seek out qualified professionals, such as developmental pediatricians or child psychiatrists, to obtain an accurate autism diagnosis, as general pediatricians may lack the necessary expertise.Navigating Autism, founded by Dr. Lyons, helps families access practical, science-based information to make informed decisions about their child's development.Understanding the importance of sleep and general health can significantly impact the behavior and well-being of children with autism, illustrating the interconnectedness of health and educational outcomes.The podcast underscores the necessity of dispelling common misconceptions surrounding autism, particularly the notion that autism invariably worsens as individuals age and that behavioral issues are solely problems to be corrected.Parents navigating autism must cultivate self-compassion and recognize their own emotional journeys, as feelings of guilt and fear are common yet can be transformed into confidence and proactive engagement.Links referenced in this episode:navigatingautism.comyoutube.comhttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37782510/Mentioned in this episode:My friend Dr. Noah St. John calls this 'the invisible brake.'

In this episode of Investments Unplugged, host Kevin Headland is joined by Alex Richard, Senior Portfolio Manager, Multi-Asset Solutions, to discuss Manulife's newly launched “all-in-one” ETF strategies—against a backdrop where portfolio diversification has reclaimed attention, following a period in which many investors were tempted to chase equity returns. Kevin and Alex describe what makes these portfolios different from traditional “set-it-and-forget-it” asset-allocation ETFs, including: An active, flexible allocation process grounded in regularly updated capital market assumptions; Broader, deeper underlying portfolio diversification (including alternative investments) than many ETFs offer; A robust strategy implementation toolkit that can include select third-party ETFs and futures contracts.  They also share their views on portfolio positioning across equities and fixed income in today's market environment, as well as what role diversifying exposures (like global infrastructure and global credit) can play in a long-term investment strategy.     Key topics & insights 1. Why defense and diversification are back in focus After an extended run of strong equity performance, it's tempting for many investors to de-emphasize portfolio defense and to overemphasize return-chasing. The episode reinforces the notion of strategic diversification being essential to long-term portfolio outcomes, especially amid bouts of macro and market volatility. 2. What are Manulife's new “all-in-one” ETF portfolios? There are three different ETF strategies, each designed to fit a distinct investor risk profile—Manulife Conservative ETF Portfolio, Manulife Balanced ETF Portfolio, and Manulife Growth ETF Portfolio. The target equity/fixed-income portfolio allocations are roughly 60% bonds/40% stocks (conservative), 60% stocks/40% bonds (balanced), and 80% stocks/20% bonds (growth). However, these strategies are designed to go beyond simple equity/fixed-income splits by diversifying across global regions, market caps, investment styles, and degrees of active management. 3. Active at the core, built to adapt, TCR-ready Rather than managing the portfolios to static portfolio targets, the team can deviate from baseline equity/fixed-income allocations and adjust underlying exposures as market conditions warrant. Portfolio decisions are informed by a capital markets assumptions process, conducted quarterly, that covers expected levels of investment risk/return/correlation across 100+ asset classes. “Total-cost reporting (TCR) ready” is positioned as a relevant feature for Canadian advisors and investors focused on total-cost reporting. 4. Broader, deeper portfolio diversification Depending on the particular portfolio, the team can access close to (or upwards of) ~15 asset classes, including alternatives—for stepped-up portfolio diversification versus what many competing ETFs can offer. This broader mandate and flexibility allows for both “offensive” (return-seeking) and “defensive” (risk-managing) portfolio allocations, designed to pursue more consistent investor outcomes over time. 5. Implementation: Manulife ETFs + third-party ETFs + futures The portfolios are not limited to investing only in Manulife ETFs; third-party ETFs may also be used to gain portfolio exposures not available on Manulife's platform. Examples of such “off-platform” portfolio exposures include global listed infrastructure, dedicated high-yield bonds, and emerging-market debt. In addition, where appropriate, the strategies may leverage futures contracts as a means of efficiently adjusting portfolio exposures. 6. Market views and portfolio positioning themes Looking ahead, the discussion highlighted a potentially compressed range of expected market outcomes across core fixed-income and core equity portfolio buckets. In fixed income, investors might favor shorter-duration exposures (less interest-rate risk) and global bonds (outside North America) for potentially more attractive yield opportunities. Judiciously taking some credit risk may make sense in cases where investors are likely to be adequately compensated, such as select high-yield and emerging-market debt. ·   Actionable takeaways for Canadian investors Reassess how diversified your portfolio really is: A portfolio might appear to be more diversified than it really is (with a mix of stocks and bonds); consider additional layers of global and asset-class diversification. Don't assume “conservative” means all bonds: Understand the portfolio's actual target allocations and how much flexibility the manager may have to adjust or move around those allocations as needed when markets shift. In uncertain markets, prioritize portfolio resilience: Long-term investors may be well served by a resilient, diversified portfolio strategy focused on generating attractive risk-adjusted returns while managing volatility and downside risks. Consider the role of diversifiers beyond traditional stocks/bonds: If suitable for your risk profile, non-traditional asset exposures like global infrastructure and select credit sleeves may help provide enhanced portfolio diversification. Pay attention to duration risk in fixed income: If interest-rate volatility remains a concern, shorter-duration fixed-income positioning may better align with capital preservation goals than longer-duration bonds.   Links & Resources Listen to the episode:Investments Unplugged Podcast Learn more about Manulife Investments:Manulife IM Canada Share & Subscribe If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with your network and subscribe for future insights on markets, investing, and portfolio strategy.

This week, Traci sits down with Chris Taylor, founder of Actionable.co, a company that helps consultants prove the impact of their programs and build deeper, longer-lasting client relationships through behavior change technology, the Impact Certainty Methodology, and a global network of peers. Chris has spent 18 years making the case that the entire L&D industry is stuck measuring the wrong things, and that closing this gap is one of the most powerful levers a business has for driving real, lasting results.FREE RESOURCE: Chris's team put together a free toolkit covering everything the data shows makes learning actually stick, with nearly an hour of training included. Grab it at ⁠toolkit.actionable.co⁠.What We Cover:The knowing-doing gap: why consuming information is step one, and what it actually takes to get people to changeWhy 96% of business stakeholders believe L&D impact should be measured, yet less than 4% of programs do it wellThe three conditions for real behavior change: knowing how, having a strong enough reason, and a path that makes change easier than staying putStarting with strategy, not tactics: how aligning learning to business priorities changes every decision that followsThe content commoditization reality: why AI has made content delivery the least valuable thing a consultant or L&D team can offerSynchronous vs. self-directed learning and why async formats make sustaining behavior change nearly impossibleSocial scaffolding: why the people participants interact with daily outweigh top-down culture in driving changeWhat 100,000 behavior change commitments reveal about human motivation and willingness to growHow frontline leaders can drive real development even inside organizations that aren't walking the walkConnect with Chris Taylor: LinkedIn | Actionable.coConnect with Traci here: https://linktr.ee/HRTraciDisclaimer: Thoughts, opinions, and statements made on this podcast are not a reflection of the thoughts, opinions, and statements of the Company by whom Traci Chernoff is actively employed.Please note that this episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products or services.

I wanted to talk to a lawyer 'cause, yeah, lawyers are the ones that see stuff that falls the whole way down to the level of legal action. But I wanted to find out what are the main categories of things that wind up in legal land when it comes to broker or EBC (employee benefit consultant) payment agreements. Like, what are the top ways that compensation agreements go horribly awry? For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Doug Aldeen, my guest today, rose to the challenge. And let me just state for the record that, while there are a whole lot of brokers and EBCs who would or do engage in some of these practices, there are also many who do not; and/or it might not be the broker/EBC themselves but the company that they work for who is up to some of the things that we're gonna be talking about in the episode today. But I really, for sure, want to support the gang of honest actors, great fee-based, integrity-based brokers and EBCs; and I wanna support them all day long, many of whom listen to the show and are part of the Relentless Health Value Tribe. But let's talk about how the rent-seeking ones roll so that you can spot them. See what they did there. So, yeah … the first kind of ground zero that Doug and I talk about today is just up-front direct compensation agreements, which may be just ridiculously complicated and/or ridiculously expensive compared to what others are charging for a similar group. Where there's mystery, there is margin. That is so relevant in so many situations, and this is just another one of them. So then, after that, Doug and I move on; and we get into three categories of stuff that sits in that undisclosed or maybe even disclosed zone, where just the whole model of payments is problematic on its face. First up (and this is a biggie), brokers/EBCs recommending rent-seeking solutions to their clients. Like, a broker or EBC suggests a solution to their client where the solution itself makes money on a perverse incentive, and then the broker or EBC gets a piece of that action, which might be called shared savings. So, yeah … even if the dollars to the broker or EBC are disclosed, a naive plan administrator might not see that overcharge for what it really is—and Doug gives a bunch of examples in the show that follows. Chris Deacon (post) and Justin Leader (post) also wrote posts about this. Donovan Pyle wrote a whole book about it. Okay … the next big category of typical payment model methodologies that Doug Aldeen (again, a lawyer) has seen plans get themselves into trouble with their EBCs and brokers—the ones who are sharks, I mean, circling the plan like it's a gold mine—this big category is undisclosed payments from vendors who the plan doesn't realize have a business relationship with the EBC or broker. This can also be a whole basket of solutions that the EBC/broker wants to install, which is basically this problematic payment model at scale. And, right, this matters because then the plan doesn't know if this particular point solution, PBM, stop-loss carrier … Right? They think their broker EBC is recommending it because it's the best option for that particular plan, not understanding that it's the right option for the broker or EBC. And these dollars can be undisclosed because, to a certain extent, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, it's a little bit unclear on certain points. There's some loopholes if you go looking for them because you are so inclined. We get into more detail on this later on. After this, Doug offers a really great roadmap with six steps in it for any plan to really think about as they consider. First, the maybe integrity of their broker or EBC and what is being recommended to the plan. And that's important because, look—and we say this in the conversation that follows, but I'm gonna say it again here loudly—if a plan realizes that their broker or EBC is not really serving the best interest of the plan, there are great options out there. There are great EBCs and brokers who are honest, upstanding that really care about their clients, their plans, their members, and doing the right thing. But telling the difference between the not-so-good ones and the good ones takes some diligence, takes some validation on the part of the plan sponsor. It just does. But the amount of dollars that can be saved is millions, and this is actually, saving those millions is actually better for the plan because it's not like those dollars were going in somebody's pocket. It's not like they were being put toward better, safer, lower premiums. These are dollars that can be cut, and the plan is actually better.

✅ Engineering Excellence PodcastFIVE PRIMARY POINTS of the PODCAST* Purpose Protects Your Brain and Extends LongevityA strong sense of purpose is one of the most powerful and modifiable vitality assets. Research involving nearly 9,000 people found higher purpose was linked to lower inflammation and healthier immune profiles, while a separate 15-year study of almost 14,000 people showed that individuals with high purpose had a 28% lower risk of dementia. Purpose appears to biologically protect cognition and enhance longevity.* Purpose Outperforms Life Satisfaction for LongevitySimply being happy is not enough. A 23-year study of 6,000 people found that having goals and direction in life predicted longevity better than life satisfaction alone. Purpose functions as a resilience factor, sharpening decisions, conserving energy, and helping people execute difficult tasks aligned with meaningful goals.* Pinpointing Your Purpose Is a SkillThe podcast emphasizes crafting a concise personal purpose statement and regularly refining it. Suggested strategies include reflecting on core values, identifying strengths, seeking mentorship, experimenting with new challenges, and revising your purpose over time. A clear purpose becomes an elite time-management tool that helps people say “yes” to aligned opportunities and “no” to distractions.* Faith and Spirituality May Be a Competitive AdvantageScientific evidence suggests spirituality and religion are associated with better immune function, lower depression, improved cardiovascular outcomes, stronger resilience, and higher life satisfaction. Practices such as prayer, meditation, awe, and belief in something bigger than oneself may improve mental and physical health through stress reduction, hope, and social connection.* Spiritual Vitality Can Be Strengthened DailyJust like physical fitness, spiritual well-being is presented as a skill that can be cultivated. Actionable suggestions include spending 5–10 minutes daily reflecting on meaning, journaling, meditating, praying, joining a values-aligned community, and intentionally strengthening purpose, connection, and resilience as part of a broader vitality practice.Copyright VyVerse, LLC.

Free will might be smaller than you hoped, but more useful than you imagined. This conversation with Stephen Porges is about a quiet shift in perspective. We are taught to believe that emotional strength means overriding fear, suppressing anger, and forcing calm. But a different story is available. One where stress is not weakness, pain is not always just pain, and emotions are not commands but signals shaped by physiology, memory, and perceived safety. In that story, awareness becomes agency. The moment you notice your internal state without instantly obeying it, a door opens. Not a dramatic door. A small one. But small doors change lives. This episode explores the psychology of emotional regulation, the biology of threat, and the possibility that resilience is less about control and more about creating the conditions where wiser choices can emerge. See reactions as signals from a system. Create safety before expecting transformation. Practice awareness to widen your range of choice. SPONSORS

"I know what I need to do, but I don't trust that I'll do it when I need to do it." If that sentence lands, this conversation is for you.

We talk about his new book, Once I Get Started, and the cognitive theme he believes runs beneath much of adult ADHD: self-mistrust. This is not a productivity conversation. It is a conversation about what actually happens between knowing what to do and doing it — and why that gap shows up so often for capable, high-performing professionals. What we explore: Self-mistrust as a possible central cognitive theme of adult ADHD, and how it shapes self-worth, decisions, and follow-through Why ADHD is better understood as a performance problem than a knowledge problem Motivation as an emotion, and why deadline pressure stops being a sustainable strategy Self-regulatory efficacy: why some people disengage early, and what protects against it How thoughts, feelings, and behaviors operate as a braided cord rather than a linear chain People-pleasing, social capital, and why ADHD professionals may overestimate their relational debts Procrastivity, or productive procrastination — when it is adaptive, and when it is avoidance Taskidermy tasks: the items that keep reappearing on your to-do list without moving forward The SAP Method: Specific, Actionable, Pivot Points for getting unstuck How CBT for adult ADHD differs from CBT for depression or anxiety, and why the implementation focus matters Masking, intentional self-presentation, and the difference between coping and concealment This episode offers language for patterns that often go unnamed at work — and a more grounded way to think about why standard advice keeps falling short. About Dr. Russell Ramsay: Dr. Russell Ramsay is a psychologist who specializes in the assessment and psychosocial treatment of adult ADHD. He has lectured internationally, published widely, and authored six books on adult ADHD, including his most recent, Once I Get Started. He is a CHADD Hall of Fame inductee.   Pre-order Once I Get Started by Russell Ramsay, Ph.D.: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/783710/once-i-get-started-by-russell-ramsay-phd/     Connect with Cathy Rashidian: ReadySetChoose.com Resources: Adult ADHD Self-Report Scale (ASRS-v1.1) Symptom Checklist Instructions https://add.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/adhd-questionnaire-ASRS111.pdf
