Explore how neuroscience and ancient wisdom converge in corporate well‑being with Bassanti Pathak, CEO and co‑founder of NeuroVeda by Pathak Yoga. Over a decade of experience has shown her the unexpected challenges of integrating yoga into office life, from misconceptions around spirituality to real stress resilience strategies. She shares how breathwork, awareness, and tailored neurological approaches can optimize both brain and bottom line. Discover how chair yoga, meditation, and custom staff‑optimization programs deliver measurable impacts—like reduced absenteeism and boosted revenue. In this episode, you'll discover: Bassanti's journey: rebranding Pathak Yoga to NeuroVeda by Pathak Yoga to reflect the blend of neuroscience and traditional Vedic wisdom. The misconceptions she's had to dismantle—yoga as mysticism, inflexibility, or religion—and how to position it scientifically. How yoga and meditation reshape brain architecture: thickening the prefrontal cortex, enhancing functional connectivity with the amygdala, and promoting better decision‑making under stress. Practical workplace applications—from chair‑yoga for musculoskeletal relief to empathy training and breathwork for stress resilience. Real, quantifiable returns on corporate well‑being investments, including a 32% drop in absenteeism and 13% increase in revenue, and the caveats around capturing such data. Memorable Quotes: “There were many misconceptions… that it's a practice for skinny white girls, that it's not for men, that it's not for people who are inflexible… we really had to redefine what yoga was.” “We're changing the body's chemistry in order to over time change the brain's architecture… an optimized brain that is not influenced by past experiences that are unhelpful to us.” “If you do three months of yoga… that may not get rid of all your stressors… but… certain meditations can really have an effect even after ten minutes of practicing.” Bio: Bassanti is the co‑founder and CEO of NeuroVeda by Pathak Yoga, an award‑winning corporate well‑being services provider specializing in neuroscience‑informed programmes designed to optimise the workforce and bottom line. Having learned yoga from her Indian father at the age of four, and holding accolades from Delhi's International Foundation for Natural Health & Yoga, Harvard, Clark University, and Bonn University, Bassanti brings a unique blend of tradition, science and heart to the table.

Clinicians will often hear their clients express deeply felt needs, only to admit they've never shared them with their partner—usually due to fear of vulnerability or a defensive, adversarial dynamic that makes intimacy feel unsafe.  In today's episode, we are joined by Dr. James Cordova—Professor of Psychology at Clark University and creator of The Relationship Checkup—to discuss his new book, The Mindful Path to Intimacy. Dr. Cordova's book offers a powerful framework for understanding and transforming these relational patterns through the lens of mindfulness, compassion, and shared vulnerability.In our conversation, we explore:Why intimacy is often more terrifying than people expect—and why it's worth the riskHow mindfulness can serve as both a spiritual and relational practiceThe idea that attention is the most basic form of loveWhy many couples shift from infatuation to frustration, and what can be done about itHow interpersonal neurobiology helps us understand the push-pull of closeness and withdrawalWays to navigate shame, trauma histories, and fear of being fully seen in loveWhat distinguishes couples who flourish from those who simply coexist. Dr. James Cordova is a Professor of Psychology at Clark University and the creator of The Relationship Checkup, a pioneering, preventative intervention designed to assess and strengthen couples' relationships before problems escalate.

Varina Howell Davis, wife of Jefferson Davis and First Lady of the Confederacy played the part well. She was educated, graceful, the picture of antebellum perfection. She hosted elegant soirees at the Confederate white house in Richmond, Virginia and managed a household of around 20 workers, black and white, enslaved and free. But Varina, when examined closely, was not what she seemed. In writing, she referred to herself as a “half-breed” born of the North and of the South. Her political loyalties were suspect as she found herself torn between both causes. And her dark skin and hair. What was that about? People whispered behind closed doors. Was the First Lady of the Confederacy… could she possibly be… Black?

Americans, understandably, have an emotionally fraught relationship with firearms, and American gun culture bears the marks of this emotional complexity. When, and perhaps more important, why did the firearm, a tool for killing, come to bear this unique cultural baggage in America? Between 1870 and 1920, when firearms were no longer seen as a tool first, but a consumer good laden with symbolic meaning and community associations. So argues Courtney Slavin, PhD candidate at Clark University, in her dissertation project. Using a combination of primary sources, including business records, catalogs, and consumer correspondence, all held in the Hagley Library collections, Slavin reconstructs a time when Americans began thinking about and using guns less as functional firearms and more as symbols. Fitting into a cultural milieu of anxiety over masculinity, fears of over civilization, perceived loss of tradition and community, guns accreted a load of cultural meanings atop of and around their physical objects. The consequences of this cultural baggage have been profound for Americans in the twenty first century. In support of her work Slavin received funding from the Center from the History of Business, Technology, and Society at the Hagley Museum and Library.

Dr. Robert Goddard is known as the "Father of Rocketry," but his legacy has been largely overlooked--until now. Charles Slatkin grew up during the Space Age and has become a Goddard evangelist, going so far as to purchase the historic Goddard home to convert into a museum. But his efforts don't stop there. Slatkin has started a nonprofit to not only further Goddard's legacy, but also to inspire young people, who he calls "today's Goddards," to reach for the stars. Hear this inspiring story on this episode of This Week in Space!

Women's wars are not men's wars. This is the first lesson of Cynthias Enloe's Twelve Feminist Lessons of War (U California Press, 2023): the lack of attention paid to women during war not only obscures their experiences but also prevents a full understanding of war and its effects. Wartime shapes women's lives and also the gendered politics of issues such as domestic relationships and childcare, labor and economic mobility, political rights and participation, violence, and much more. By paying attention to the lives of women during war, Enloe shows what women can teach us about war. And in Twelve Feminists Lessons of War it's not just the lessons about war themselves are feminist.  This book also tells lessons from feminist activists and how they have responded to war, whether it is being fought in their backyard or by their state's military tens of thousands of miles away. Drawn from insights gained during her long career researching and writing about women during war and the gendered politics of war, Enloe presents a dozen lessons to be learned about women's lives during war and how we can shorten or even prevent wars by paying attention to women's experiences. Cynthia Enloe is Research Professor in the Department of International Development, Community and Environment at Clark University where she also has affiliations in the Women's and Gender Studies and Political Science departments. Professor Enloe researches, writes, and teaches about the politics of gender in the US and globally.

Award-winning research psychologist and professor Dr. Michael Addis returns to Paternal for the latest in a series of special episodes, this time to discuss a subject that a number of past guests have brought up over the years: Grace and self-compassion. He examines why some men hold themselves to impossible standards when it comes to work, relationships and parenting, and why the inability to forgive yourself is connected to the ability to apologize to others, and actually mean it.

In this episode, we dive into an empowering energetic protocol designed to help you create stronger boundaries and a more empowered way of being.
