Coming into this podcast my opinion was that multivitamins are just not worth it. Whether that's for general wellbeing, cardiovascular health, sleep and especially mental health, I just was not convinced that they did anything at all.But I specifically wanted to speak with Professor Julia Rucklidge, clinical psychologist and Director of the Mental Health and Nutrition Research Lab at the University of Canterbury, because she has a very different opinion.Julia's groundbreaking research and viral TED Talk have transformed how psychiatrists and mental health practitioners think about nutrition and mental illness, especially the potential of broad-spectrum micronutrients to support mood, focus, and resilience.We explore:

If your brain feels like a filing cabinet that never closes, you're not alone.For many school leaders, memory becomes the hidden system — the thing holding birthdays, licensing dates, parent notes, staff needs, and the million invisible details that make your school run. But here's the truth: your brain was never meant to be the system.In this powerful, personal episode, Chanie shares how her once-reliable memory began to fail — and how that moment became the turning point for her leadership. Forgetting wasn't a crisis; it was clarity. It revealed that her business had outgrown her brain and was ready for real systems and rhythms that could carry the weight sustainably.If you've ever said, “I just have to remember to…” — this episode will help you see why forgetting is not failure. It's a signal that your leadership is evolving.You'll LearnWhy memory-based leadership leads to burnout and anxietyHow your brain becomes a false “system” when trust in processes is lowWhy stress pokes holes in memory — and what to build insteadHow rhythms create psychological safety and operational stabilityHow to shift from mental management to systemized leadershipPractical examples of where you may be leading from memory (and how to stop)How to trust your systems and rhythms — even when it feels uncomfortableKey Insights“Your brain and your memory are not the system. Systems and rhythms hold excellence at scale.”“The brain is for having ideas, not holding them.”“Forgetting isn't failure — it's feedback that your leadership is ready to evolve.”“When you lead from rhythm instead of recall, you build peace into your operations.”Memorable Quotes“My memory made me feel safe. But safety doesn't come from remembering — it comes from trusting the rhythm.”“Your leadership isn't breaking down. It's breaking open — to a simpler, more sustainable way to lead.”“Forgetting wasn't the problem. It was the most generous wake-up call from God.”“The brain is for having ideas, not holding them. Systems are what keep those ideas alive.”Reflection PromptsWhere in your leadership are you still using your memory as a safety net?What's one area where you could install a rhythm to replace recall?How does over-reliance on your brain create invisible weight in your day?What would it look like to trust your systems — even when your instinct is to double-check?Episode ResourcesLearn more about Chanie's upcoming book This Can't Be Normal, where she unpacks how rhythms replace over-functioning and burnout.Take the 5 Gear Diagnostic to identify which area of your leadership carries the most invisible weight — Enrollment, Staff Culture, Parent Engagement, Financial Health, or Strategic Growth. schoolsofexcellence.com/diagnostic

What if freedom isn't the absence of limits, but the presence of form?In this episode of The Scenic Route, Jen explores the paradox of constraints – why the boundaries we resist might be the very thing that saves us. Drawing on the work of sociologist Zygmunt Bauman and his idea of liquid modernity, she unpacks how modern life's obsession with flexibility and endless options has left so many of us overwhelmed, exhausted, and floating without structure.You'll hear:Why too much freedom can make us feel lost instead of liberatedWhat Bauman meant by “liquid modernity”, and how it shapes our daily anxietyHow chosen limits can create space for creativity, rest, and meaningWhy personal boundaries matter and why collective ones matter even moreThis isn't a call to hustle smarter or embrace toxic gratitude. It's a quiet rebellion against a system that asks you to be endlessly available and endlessly improving. Jen invites you to build a life – and a world – solid enough to hold you.Survival is individual. Transformation is shared.They drained the public pool and sold you swimming lessons. The goalposts keep moving; nothing ever feels complete.You don't need to fix yourself; you need structures that hold you.If you've been feeling like you're always treading water, this episode is your permission to stop swimming and start building your boat.

Fear of infidelity can be one of the most overwhelming and destabilising experiences for someone with anxious attachment.

When the world feels on fire, how do our souls find rest in God alone? This week's two-part episode is close to my heart. In the wake of recent violence, I first pause to reflect on what it means to choose love in an age when outrage feels easier. From there, I turn to a conversation with my friend and mentor, Dr. Stephen Macchia. Steve has spent decades guiding people into deeper intimacy with God through practices of silence, prayer, and community. Together we explore the barriers distraction creates, why being truly listened to is so healing, and how slowing down opens space for God's presence in our lives.

Anxiety often feels overwhelming, but at its core, it's your mind and body working hard to protect you.In this episode, therapist and author of Anxiety Unpacked, Noelle McWard Aquino, unpacks the complex nature of modern anxiety, from the body's nervous system responses to the thought patterns that fuel it.Noelle introduces her framework of three root causes: catastrophizing, control, and distorted beliefs, and explains how these show up in daily life. You'll learn how to tell the difference between anxiety and intuition, and why getting more comfortable with uncertainty can help you build real resilience.You'll also pick up practical tools like breathwork, reframing distorted beliefs, and focusing on your values so you can navigate anxiety with more clarity and confidence.Listen and Learn: A fresh, accessible perspective on anxiety that goes beyond diagnoses, showing how it's a universal human experience with practical tools to help anyone navigate itWhy anxiety is not a personal failing but an understandable response to today's constant threats, information overload, and technology-driven pressuresHow to reframe anxiety, not as a flaw to eliminate but as a signal to honor, by creating space for it, discerning facts from “what if” stories, and guiding it toward purposeful action rooted in values, capacity, and connectionThe five universal truths of anxietyHow to tell the difference between anxiety's fear-driven, questioning voice and intuition's calm, steady, and certain inner knowingThe three root causes of anxiety: catastrophizing, control, and distorted beliefs, and how understanding these patterns helps address anxiety at its root for lasting changeResources: Noelle's book, Anxiety Unpacked: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781960876898 Noelle's Website: https://noellemcwardaquino.com/ Noelle's Psychology Today article: When Anxiety Makes Sense: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/unpacking-anxiety/202506/when-anxiety-makes-sense Connect with Noelle on Social Media: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noelle-mcward-192473b https://www.instagram.com/noellemcwardaquino/ About Noelle McWard AquinoNoelle McWard Aquino is a Chicago-based therapist who specializes in the treatment of anxiety disorders.

In this essential episode, Drew and Josh are joined by Dr. Birthe Macdonald, a psychologist and neuroscience researcher who's become a vital voice in combating mental health misinformation on social media. The conversation tackles the overwhelming sea of questionable advice that anxious people encounter online, from vagus nerve stimulation devices to "nervous system regulation" quick fixes.Dr. Macdonald shares her journey from neuroscience researcher to science communicator, sparked by sponsored ads for electrical vagus nerve stimulators that made bold claims without solid evidence. The trio explores why these pseudoscientific approaches are particularly appealing to people struggling with anxiety disorders – and why they can actually be harmful.Key topics include:The dangerous appeal of "one thing" solutions that promise instant reliefWhy sponsored vagus nerve stimulation devices and similar products exploit vulnerable peopleHow social media algorithms amplify misinformation while evidence-based content gets overlookedRed flags to watch for when consuming mental health content onlineThe difference between what we know about how the brain works versus being able to "work" the brain directlyWhy ChatGPT and AI can become problematic reassurance-seeking tools for people with anxietyHow to become a more critical consumer of pop psychology contentThe conversation doesn't dismiss that some techniques may provide temporary relief, but emphasizes understanding why they work (often through distraction rather than magical nervous system manipulation) and recognizing when they become compulsive behaviors that maintain anxiety in the long run.This episode serves as both a reality check and a guide for navigating the complex landscape of mental health information online, helping listeners distinguish between evidence-based approaches and appealing but potentially harmful quick fixes.Find Birthe Online:https://www.instagram.com/dr.birthe.macdonald/https://www.birthemacdonald.comhttps://substack.com/@drbirthemacdonald---Disordered Roundtables are here!
