In this rebroadcasted episode, Dr. Wes Eggett shares the BRAVING framework from Brene Brown as way to articulate the various aspects of trust. Dr. Eggett makes the case that dental team members and leaders can utilize this framework when trust has been broken to determine exactly what about the relationship caused the trust to be damaged. By putting words to why trust is broken, teams and leaders can work together to repair those aspects of trust and grow closer together.With trust being the first part of the TEACH Leadership Model, the importance of trust can not be overstated! Tune in to hear how you can better identify where trust can grow in your relationships and in the relationships with your team!Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/matrika/funk-style - License code: KUYOIZCBFCF1FOMP https://uppbeat.io/t/roo-walker/bolt - License code: RS1AU6Y5DGD5A3H8. https://uppbeat.io/t/doug-organ/boogie-time License code: 5EUWDIFBWYHENXPQ

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Braving the Arctic: A Tale of Courage and Teamwork Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2025-06-25-22-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A jégmezők végtelen fehérségében, ahol a horizont és az ég szinte összeolvad, három eltökélt kutató kezd neki izgalmas kalandjának.En: In the endless whiteness of the ice fields, where the horizon and sky almost merge, three determined researchers embark on their exciting adventure.Hu: Bálint, a csendes ökológus, szakadt bakancsával lépett a hóra.En: Bálint, the quiet ecologist, stepped onto the snow with his worn-out boots.Hu: Bár szívét különös izgalom fűtötte, félelmek lengték körül, ahogy a többiekkel kellett dolgoznia.En: Although his heart was fueled by peculiar excitement, fears surrounded him as he had to work with others.Hu: Anikó, a kamerájával felszerelkezve, már a jéghegyek árnyékában próbálta elkapni a sarki rókák ritka pillanatait.En: Anikó, equipped with her camera, was already in the shadows of the icebergs trying to capture the rare moments of arctic foxes.Hu: Nevetése olykor megtörte a tundra csendjét, ahogy próbálta átadni a pillanat szépségét.En: Her laughter occasionally broke the silence of the tundra as she tried to convey the beauty of the moment.Hu: Mellette Gábor, az expedíció tapasztalt vezetője, zord arccal mérlegelte a helyzetet.En: Beside her, Gábor, the experienced leader of the expedition, assessed the situation with a stern face.Hu: Az időjárás egyre kiszámíthatatlanabb, és a hóviharok veszélyesen közeledtek, ezt csak ő látta igazán.En: The weather was becoming increasingly unpredictable, and snowstorms were dangerously approaching, which only he truly understood.Hu: Ahogy a nappalok végtelenné nyúltak az állandó napfényben, a csapat előtt álló feladatok hatalmasnak tűntek.En: As the days stretched endlessly in the constant daylight, the tasks ahead of the team seemed immense.Hu: Bálintnak viszont csak egy célja volt: adatokat szerezni a klímaváltozás jeleiről.En: Bálint, however, had only one goal: to gather data on the signs of climate change.Hu: Az ismeretlen veszélyek és saját belső küzdelmei ellenére lépésről lépésre haladt.En: Despite the unknown dangers and his own internal struggles, he proceeded step by step.Hu: Beszélni próbált Anikóval és Gáborral, de a szavak elfogytak a hideg levegőben.En: He tried to talk to Anikó and Gábor, but words ran out in the cold air.Hu: Talán csak a munkája adta neki a pillanatnyi bátorságot.En: Perhaps only his work gave him momentary courage.Hu: Egyik éjszaka, mikor a sátor vászna ellen dühöngött a szél, egy rettegett hír érkezett a műholdas rádión: egy hatalmas vihar közeledik.En: One night, while the wind raged against the tent's canvas, a dreaded message arrived via satellite radio: a massive storm was approaching.Hu: Egy pillanat, egy újabb döntés ideje.En: A moment, another decision's time.Hu: Nyári világosságban is érezni lehetett a viharfelhők árnyékának közeledtét.En: Even in the summer brightness, the approach of the storm clouds' shadow could be felt.Hu: Bálint tekintett Anikóra és Gáborra.En: Bálint looked at Anikó and Gábor.Hu: Egy tervet alkotott meg fejében, amely kockázatos volt, de szükségszerűnek tűnt.En: He devised a plan in his mind that seemed risky but deemed necessary.Hu: "Nincs sok időnk," mondta Bálint halkan, de határozottan.En: "We don't have much time," Bálint said quietly but firmly.Hu: "Gyorsan összegyűjtjük a hiányzó adatokat és indulnunk kell.En: "Let's quickly gather the missing data and we must set off."Hu: "Az ötletük már-már vakmerőségnek tűnt, de más választásuk nem volt.En: Their idea seemed almost reckless, but they had no other choice.Hu: Anikó és Gábor bízott Bálintban, és együtt indultak útnak a jeges pusztában.En: Anikó and Gábor trusted Bálint, and together they set out into the icy wilderness.Hu: Az idő rohamosan telt, de a közös munka meglepte őket.En: Time flew by rapidly, but the teamwork surprised them.Hu: Hídat képeztek egymás között, amely erősebb volt, mint képzelték.En: They formed a bond between each other that was stronger than they had imagined.Hu: A legutolsó adatot is begyűjtötték, mielőtt a vihartól menekülve, biztonságosabb helyet találtak maguknak.En: They collected the last piece of data before, fleeing the storm, they found a safer place for themselves.Hu: A veszély elvonultával, néma csend borult a tájra.En: With the danger passed, silence descended on the landscape.Hu: A csapat tagjai egymásra néztek.En: The team members looked at each other.Hu: A nehézségek ellenére a feladatot teljesítették.En: Despite the difficulties, they completed the task.Hu: Bálint szívében most már nem csak a tudományért, de a közös munka diadaláért is élt a láng.En: In Bálint's heart, now burned a flame not only for science but also for the triumph of teamwork.Hu: Az út során megtanulta, hogy a bátorság és az együttműködés többet érhet, mint bármelyik félelem.En: Throughout the journey, he learned that courage and cooperation can be worth more than any fear.Hu: Ahogy e tapasztalatokkal gazdagodva visszatértek a civilizációba, tudták, hogy nemcsak mint kutatók, hanem mint egy csapat, sikeresen szembenéztek a tundra kihívásaival.En: As they returned to civilization enriched by these experiences, they knew that not only as researchers but as a team, they successfully faced the challenges of the tundra.

Searching for meaningful summer reading that might transform your relationship with your college student? Look no further than this curated collection of parent-focused book recommendations from higher education professionals Vicki Nelson and Lynn Abrahams.The hosts dive deep into six powerful books that address crucial aspects of the college parenting journey. "Sleep Deprived Teen" reveals the shocking impact of sleep deprivation on everything from academic performance to athletic abilities, with teens biologically requiring 8-10 hours of sleep yet averaging only 6-7 hours nightly. Meanwhile, "How to Raise a Citizen" fills the critical gap left by diminishing civics education in schools, providing parents with accessible tools to teach citizenship regardless of their own political knowledge.For families with athletes, "Raising Empowered Athletes" offers a refreshing perspective focused on developing resilience rather than just athletic achievement. The standout chapter on "The Mindset Toolbox" introduces the five C's of building grit that benefit both young athletes and their parents. "Is This Autism?" takes a groundbreaking approach by incorporating the voices of autistic individuals as experts, shifting away from deficit-focused models toward understanding neurodiversity as a natural variation in human experience.Parents dreading the college admissions process will find solace in "The Truth About College Admission," which uniquely focuses on preserving family relationships throughout the journey rather than just "getting in." Starting with the fundamental question "Why are you going to college?", the book provides practical exercises and conversation starters that strengthen family bonds during this potentially stressful time. Finally, Brené Brown's "Braving the Wilderness" explores authenticity and belonging, offering profound wisdom about self-worth applicable to both parents and students navigating the college transition.Whether you're just beginning the college journey or supporting a current student, these thoughtfully selected books provide invaluable insights for strengthening your parent-student relationship while navigating the complexities of higher education.

In this episode, I sit down with Meta's Global Director of Public Policy, who also happens to be a mom of two teenagers, to discuss the realities of raising kids in a digital-first world. There is a lot that goes into ensuring our teens are safe online, and Tara explains how Instagram is becoming a leader in this arena. Whether you're worried about screen time, inappropriate content, or online bullying, this conversation is packed with insight and practical help.  Here are some topics we cover: How Meta uses cutting-edge technology for age verification  The three biggest concerns parents have about social media- who can contact their teen on Instagram, whether the content their teen sees is age-appropriate, and how much time their teen is spending on social media Encouraging open conversations when your teen sees (or does) something online they shouldn't Connect with Tara Hopkins:   Instagram: Tara Hopkins Links Mentioned:    Meta Family Center Related Episodes: Creating a Family Tech Plan :: Andrea Davis [Ep 470] Cultivating a Healthy Relationship with Tech :: Joey Odom [Ep 425] Braving the Tech Landscape Through Connection :: Chris McKenna [Ep 424] Creating Digital Safe Spaces :: Chris McKenna [Ep 360] Featured Sponsors:  Function: I highly recommend Function.

Te gast zijn Rob Smits van Bureau Voor Durf en Laura Struijk en Josefien Kemper van Inspiratiebureau Struijk & Kemper en we spreken over leiden met moed. Inspiratiebronnen zijn de boeken van Rob zelf, Durf is te doen! en van Brene Brown, Dare to lead, waar Struijk & Kemper vanuit werken.Rob ontwikkelde zich van Amsterdamse lefgozer tot een oefenmeester in durven. De essentie van durven is voor hem in 1 woord dat je een durfdeuger moet leren zijn. Deuger, omdat je niet alleen je lef moet inzetten, dat nog maar een eerste impulskracht is, maar ook je moed en je waarden, waarvoor je in tweede instantie je denkkracht moet inzetten. Durf is deze beide krachten gebruiken. De impulskracht is een snelle trigger, die je moet leren waarnemen en vertragen tot een time-out, waarin je bewust vanuit je waarden kiest wat je uiteindelijk wilt en gaat doen.Fear the fear and do it anyway, zo vat Laura van Struijk & Kemper dit werken vanuit triggers samen. Ook zij en Josefien vinden dat je vanuit je why en waarden moet werken aan je leiderschap. Hun inspiratie vinden ze bij Brene Brown, die stelt dat je daarvoor de empathie en de moed moet hebben om te leren stoeien met kwetsbaarheid. Je moet als leider de verantwoordelijkheid leren nemen voor het herkennen van het potentieel in mensen en de moed hebben om hun potentieel te ontwikkelen. Belangrijk is dan het creëren van een cultuur van vertrouwen, waar Brene Brown de acroniem Braving voor gebruikt, of van psychologische veiligheid, een tweede concept van Struijk & Kemper, dat ze van Amy Edmondson hebben geleerd.Deze podcast is mede mogelijk gemaakt door schoolleidersopleiding ATTC, onderwijsadvies School Matters en rustplek De vallei van het goede leven.

alltid drømmeren, konstant med tankene et annet sted.En: She was always the dreamer, constantly with her thoughts elsewhere.No: Men i dag var hun annerledes.En: But today she was different.No: Hennes øyne var triste, og hun bar tyngden av foreldrenes separasjon på sine skuldre.En: Her eyes were sad, and she bore the weight of their parents' separation on her shoulders.No: Lars, hennes eldre bror, var allerede ved kjøkkenbordet, med ferskbrygget kaffe og nybakt brød.En: Lars, her older brother, was already at the kitchen table with freshly brewed coffee and freshly baked bread.No: "God morgen,

Deep from within enemy territory, Brad 'Freddy' Fittler has called us to talk the first State of Origin match up in Brisbane. Braving injury from muffins thrown at him from the loyal Maroons fans, he gives us a preview of the game, while also having a take on Wippa's sleeping arrangement with his wife and Brian To'o's pre-match meal...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this thought-provoking episode, we sit down with licensed therapist Valerie Hamaker to explore what it truly means to brave the wilderness—to stand firm in your values and authenticity, even when it means walking alone. She specializes in faith expansion in and around the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints but has much to teach about psychological maturity, theological health, and institutional integrity. Valerie shares how cultivating inner courage allows us to navigate disconnection, societal pressure, and the fear of rejection. Inspired by the themes of Brené Brown's Braving the Wilderness, this conversation delves into the emotional resilience required to stay true to oneself amidst external noise.

There's a quiet tension in love when you live with OCD—an unshakable feeling that something's off, followed by crushing doubt: Is this real, or is it just my disorder? You learn to second-guess yourself, to dismiss your instincts, to stay in places that feel unsafe because your brain tells you fear is always a lie. But what if it isn't?   In this episode of The OCD Whisperer Podcast, host Kristina Orlova talks with marine biologist, Antarctic researcher, and Braving the Waves author Ally Kristan about the dangerous intersection of OCD and relationships. Diagnosed at 12, Ally knows how OCD can distort reality—how you can mistake manipulation for reassurance, red flags for intrusive thoughts, and chaos for normalcy.   Together, they explore the heart of the dilemma: How do you trust yourself when your mind has betrayed you before? OCD doesn't just invent fears—it can bury real ones, conditioning you to ignore the quiet voice that says, This isn't right.   They unpack how manipulative partners exploit OCD's vulnerabilities—love bombing, gaslighting, instability disguised as passion. And they offer a counterpoint: what safe, steady love can actually feel like.   This episode isn't just insight—it's an invitation. To stop gaslighting yourself. To reclaim your instincts. To step into relationships that feel like peace instead of war.   The question isn't can you trust yourself again. It's: are you ready to try? Let's get into it! In This Episode [00:03] Introduction to Ally Kristan [01:00] Understanding OCD's impact [01:24] Distinguishing intrusive thoughts [02:32] Toxic relationships and therapy [04:48] Recognizing red flags [05:38] Love bombing explained [09:29] Gaslighting and its effects [10:12] Identifying healthy relationships [14:22] The role of reassurance in relationships [15:05] Navigating compulsive behaviors [16:18] Understanding relationship dynamics [16:46] Understanding OCD and relationships [17:10] Healthy relationship dynamics [18:07] Identifying toxic traits [18:54] Consistency in relationships [20:01] Evaluating relationship feelings [20:32] Comparing friendships to relationships [22:18] Good days vs. bad days [22:56] Rebuilding trust in instincts [23:21] Meditation for clarity [26:43] Nature as a healing tool [27:13] Finding the right meditation [28:32] Time and practice for intuition [29:20] Differentiating symptoms [32:03] Closing thoughts and Ally's resources   Notable Quotes [02:09] “It is really difficult to know the difference between the OCD noise and something that your gut instinct is telling you, especially in relationships." — Ally [06:52] "Love bombing is definitely something to look out for, especially if it's somebody pursuing you who you're not initially interested in. That should be a little bit of a red flag." — Ally [08:42] "When you're with someone who does truly love you and have your best interest at heart, they're going to make it feel like loving you is easier than breathing." — Ally [09:37] "Gaslighting is when somebody is basically making you doubt your own sense of reality." — Ally [17:47] "I really do believe that if you're with somebody who's really making you safe and really does have your best interest at heart, it's not going to exacerbate your OCD symptoms." — Ally [28:40] "Trying to regain touch with your own intuition and mind again, it takes time and practice and consistency, but once you get there, it's like the floodgates are open and such a sense of restored peace." — Ally Our Guest Ally Kristan is a marine biologist, wildlife advocate, and author of Braving the Waves, a memoir exploring her journey with OCD and toxic relationships.

In this heart-opening episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana (filling in for Avik) sits down with author and retired school counselor Linda Feig Knipe to unpack the deep-rooted cultural and emotional patterns of people-pleasing—especially among women. Drawing from Linda's memoir Braving Therapy, the conversation explores the hidden costs of being the “good girl,” perfectionism, internalized shame, and the long journey to reclaiming authenticity through therapy. Linda shares her personal trauma story, how she buried pain to maintain appearances, and how real healing began only when she learned to speak her truth. About the Guest   Linda Feig Knipe is the author of Braving Therapy: Rape, Buried Trauma, and the Triumphant Journey Over PTSD. With over 20 years of experience as a professional school counselor, Linda now advocates for mental health awareness, especially around trauma and cultural expectations placed on women. A survivor herself, she shares her journey to empower others to break free from silence and perfectionism. Key Takeaways People-pleasing often stems from childhood praise for "good behavior" and suppressing one's own needs. Burying trauma to stay “perfect” leads to anxiety, self-criticism, and strained relationships. Healing starts with honesty—first with yourself, then with others. Therapy, especially with unconditional positive regard, is a safe space to rediscover your true self. Real strength lies in vulnerability and choosing healing over hiding.

Alright, Brave Table fam—buckle up, because today's episode is a special one! I am sitting down with my baby brother, Vinay, who has completely transformed his life and his morning ritual—by giving up caffeine (gasp, I know!). From chugging five to six cups of coffee a day to developing Loom Superfoods, a caffeine-free powerhouse drink loaded with Mayan nut, adaptogens, and protein, Vinay's journey is nothing short of inspiring.But this episode isn't just about coffee—it's about answering the call when your health (and intuition) nudges you to pivot. We talk about breaking bad habits, braving change, and why so many people stay stuck in comfort zones instead of leaping into their true potential. Oh, and we're spilling all the tea (or should I say, Loom) on why most coffee drinkers are unknowingly wrecking their sleep, gut health, and energy levels.So if you've ever thought about cutting back on caffeine (or just making bold moves in your life and business), this one's for you.What you'll get out of this episode… Caffeine disrupts gut, energy, and sleep cycles.Growth comes from discomfort—Vinay moved cities to avoid stagnation.Health is wealth—Vinay's high blood pressure at 30 was his wake-up call.Big problems fuel big solutions—Vinay turned caffeine struggles into a business.To pivot, ignore the noise, embrace uncertainty, and go for it.TIMESTAMPS[00:00:00] Intro: My Brother's Wild Health Journey[00:03:00] Affirmation of the Day: “I Am Brave Enough to Suck at New Things”[00:06:00] The Moment Vinay Knew He Needed to Change His Life[00:12:00] Drinking 6 Cups of Coffee a Day: What It Did to His Body[00:19:00] Braving a Career Pivot: From Real Estate to Superfoods[00:24:00] Discovering the Mayan Nut & Creating a Coffee Alternative[00:29:00] How Caffeine Affects Sleep, Anxiety & Blood Pressure[00:34:00] Why Loom Superfoods is the Ultimate Coffee Replacement[00:39:00] The Reality of Entrepreneurship & Handling Naysayers[00:45:00] How Ditching Caffeine Improved His Energy & Mental Clarity[00:47:00] Final Hot Takes: What It Means to Be BraveTo receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to support@globalgrit.co
