Imagine an Anarcho-libertarian future wherein philosophy, reason, and science prevail. The cathedrals of corruption looming over every nation, governments have been replaced by direct democracy on an unhackable blockchain.

Summary / IntroIn this episode, Megan Wimberley sits down with Dr. Tara Fox, Assistant Clinical Professor and Clinical Director at Sacred Heart University, to unpack the complex relationship between anxiety and creativity.Together they explore how anxiety shows up for artists and art business owners, how to recognize when it becomes more than a passing feeling, and how to build tools that help rather than hinder your creative life.They discuss real experiences—from living with anxiety as an artist and business owner to understanding the science behind stress responses. They also share practical ways to find balance, self-compassion, and forward momentum in your art and daily life.Show NotesAnxiety touches so many artists- from racing thoughts in the studio, perfectionism disguised as productivity, or the moment you freeze before sharing a new piece of work. In this heartfelt conversation, Megan Wimberley sits down with Dr. Tara Fox, Assistant Clinical Professor and licensed professional counselor, to unpack the layers of anxiety and what it really means to live (and create) with it.Dr. Fox shares her personal journey with ADHD and anxiety, breaking down the difference between everyday worry and a diagnosable disorder. Together, Megan and Dr. Fox explore why getting a diagnosis isn't about labeling yourself—it's about understanding yourself, and learning how to find your own version of balance.They talk about how anxiety often hides behind ambition and overwork, especially for artists trying to build a career. From the outside, it can look like drive or discipline—but underneath might be fear, self-doubt, or a nervous system constantly on alert. Through laughter, honesty, and vulnerability, they shed light on how our brains trick us into thinking we're “just fine” when really we're running on fumes.You'll hear about the four anxiety responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—and how each can show up in an artist's life: sending that angry email after a rejection, abandoning a creative project out of fear, or over-committing to please everyone else. But you'll also hear how awareness and compassion can transform those same patterns into strength—how sensitivity can become intuition, and how anxiety can actually deepen your creativity when it's managed with care.If you've ever felt like your anxiety keeps you from showing up fully as an artist—or if you're simply curious about how creativity and mental health intertwine—this episode will remind you that you're not alone, and that there's strength in understanding yourself deeply.Key TakeawaysAnxiety is normal—but when it consistently interferes with your work, relationships, or well-being, it deserves attention and care.Diagnosis brings information, not identity. It's a tool for understanding, not a label of limitation.Artists often live in the gray area between high sensitivity and high performance—learning to pause, breathe, and check in with your body is crucial.The body keeps the score. Chronic stress patterns can become automatic; awareness helps you break them.Anxiety can fuel creativity when managed well—enhancing empathy, intuition, and depth of perception.Healthy coping means returning to balance, not escaping.Self-compassion is non-negotiable. Your compassion is incomplete if you don't extend it to yourself.Help exists. Finding the right therapist or counselor is a sign of strength, not weakness.Resources & LinksReferenced in this episode:The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der KolkThe Artist's Way by Julia CameronPsychology Today – Find a TherapistOpen Path Collective – Affordable Counseling DirectoryCowgirl Artists of America –...

In this explainer episode, we've asked Amanda Pichini, clinical director at Genomics England and genetic counsellor, to explain what a genetic counsellor is. You can also find a series of short videos explaining some of the common terms you might encounter about genomics on our YouTube channel. If you've got any questions, or have any other topics you'd like us to explain, let us know on podcast@genomicsengland.co.uk. You can download the transcript or read it below. Florence: What is a genetic counsellor? I'm Florence Cornish, and today I'm joined with Amanda Pichini, a registered genetic counsellor and clinical director for Genomics England, to find out more.   So, before we dive in, lots of our listeners have probably already heard the term genetic counsellor before, or some people might have even come across them in their healthcare journeys. But for those who aren't familiar, could you explain what we mean by a genetic counsellor?  Amanda: Genetic counsellors are healthcare professionals who have training in clinical genomic medicine and counselling skills. So they help people understand complex information, make informed decisions, and adapt to the impact of genomics on their health and their family. They're expert communicators, patient advocates, and navigators of the ethical issues that genomics and genomic testing could bring.  Florence: Could you maybe give me an example of when somebody might see a genetic counsellor?   Amanda: Yes, and what's fascinating about genetic counselling is that it's relevant to a huge range of conditions, scenarios, or points in a person's life.  Someone's journey might start by going to their GP with a question about their health. Let's say they're concerned about having a strong family history of cancer or heart disease, or perhaps a genetic cause is already known because it's been found in a family member and they want to know if they've inherited that genetic change as well.   Or someone might already be being seen in a specialist service, perhaps their child has been diagnosed with a rare condition. A genetic counsellor can help that family explore the wide-ranging impacts of a diagnosis on theirs and their child's life, how it affects their wider family, what it might mean for future children. You might also see a genetic counsellor in private health centres or fertility clinics, or if you're involved in a research study too.   Florence: And so, could you explain a bit more about the types of things a genetic counsellor does? What does your day-to-day look like, for example?   Amanda: Most genetic counsellors in the UK work in the NHS as part of a team alongside doctors, lab scientists, nurses, midwives, or other healthcare professionals. Their daily tasks include things like analysing a family history, assessing the chance of a person inheriting or passing on a condition, facilitating genetic tests, communicating results, supporting family communication, and managing the psychological, the emotional, the social, and the ethical impacts of genetic risk or results.   My day-to-day is different though. I and many other genetic counsellors have taken their skills to other roles that aren't necessarily in a clinic or seeing individual patients. It might involve educating other healthcare professionals or trainees, running their own research, developing policies, working in a lab, or a health tech company, or in the charity sector.   For me, as Clinical Director at Genomics England, I bring my clinical expertise and experience working in the NHS to the services and programmes that we run, and that helps to make sure that we design, implement, and evaluate what we do safely, and with the needs of patients, the public, and healthcare professionals at the heart of what we do.    My day-to-day involves working with colleagues in tech, design, operations, ethics, communications, and engagement, as well as clinical and scientific experts, to develop and run services like the Generation Study, which is sequencing the genomes of 100,000 newborn babies to see if we can better diagnose and treat children with rare conditions.  Florence: So, I would imagine that one of the biggest challenges of being a genetic counsellor is helping patients to kind of make sense of the complicated test results or information, but without overwhelming them. So how do you balance kind of giving people the scientific facts and all the information they need, but while still supporting them emotionally?   Amanda: This is really at the core of what genetic counsellors can do best, I think. Getting a diagnosis of a rare condition, or finding out about a risk that has a genetic component, can come with a huge range of emotions, whether that's worry, fear, or hope and relief.  It can bring a lot of questions, too. What will this mean for my future or my family's future? What do you know about this condition? What sort of symptoms could I have? What treatments or screening might be available to me? So genetic counsellors are able to navigate all of these different questions and reactions by giving an opportunity for patients and families to discuss their opinions, their experiences, and really trying to get at the core of understanding their values, their culture, their expectations, their concerns, so that they can help that individual make an informed decision that's best for them, help them access the right care and support, adjust or find healthy coping strategies, or maybe even change their lifestyle or health behaviours. So it's really finding that balance between the science, the clinical aspects, the information, and the support.  Florence: So obviously working in this space, I get to read about lots of incredible research all the time, and it feels like genetics and genomics seems to be changing and advancing day by day. So, I'd be interested to know what this means for you and for other genetic counsellors, what's coming next?   Amanda: Yeah, so as we continue to see advances in genetics and genomics, there's, I think, a really increasing need for genetic counselling expertise to help shape how these technologies are used and with giving the right consideration for the challenges around what this means for families and for wider society.  Genomics is also still growing the evidence base it needs to provide a consistent and equitable service. We're seeing digital tools being increasingly available to give people information in innovative ways, seeing huge advancements in targeted treatments and gene therapies, that are changing fundamentally the experiences of people living with rare conditions and cancers. And we're using genomics more and more to predict future health risks and how people might respond to certain medications. So, there's a huge amount that we're seeing sort of coming for the future.   What's interesting is the 10-Year Health Plan that the government has set out for the NHS provides, I think, huge opportunities for genomics. For example, we'll see healthcare brought closer to local communities, genomics being used as part of population health, reaching people closer to where they are and hopefully providing greater access.   But I think the key thing in all of this is knowing that genomics is really just a technology. It requires people with the right skill sets to use it safely and to be able to benefit everyone, and genetic counsellors are a huge part of that.   Florence: And finally, in case anyone listening has been inspired by this conversation and wants to build a career like yours, what advice would you have to offer somebody hoping to become a genetic counsellor in the future?   Amanda: To train as a genetic counsellor in the UK, you usually need an undergrad degree in biological sciences, psychology, or being a nurse or midwife. The background can be varied, but usually driven by a common thread, a desire to sort of improve healthcare experiences for patients and make genomic healthcare widely accessible and safely used for everyone.  You can apply for the 3-year NHS scientist training programme, or there's also master's degrees offered through Cardiff University, for example. In general, I'd encourage people to check out the website for the Association of Genetic Nurses and Counsellors, and reach out to genetic counsellors to ask about their career and their journey as much as possible, as well as seeking opportunities to really understand the experiences of people living with rare genetic conditions, because that will help you understand the ways in which genetic counselling can have an impact.  Florence: We'll finish there. Thank you so much, Amanda, for all of those insights and for explaining what it means to be a genetic counsellor.

*Trigger Warning* This episode mentions complex psychological disorders, sexual abuse, sexual trauma, and other adult themes. Listener discretion is advised.In today's episode of Embracing Your Season, Paige shares an interview from her recent trip to AACC (American Association of Christian Counselors) in Dallas, TX with Dr. Shannae Anderson. Dr. Shannae is a licensed clinical psychologist and is currently the Clinical Director at Monarch Recovery Intensive Outpatient Program in Ventura, California, and Director of Psychology and Co-Director of Ethics and Advocacy at the American Association of Christian Counselors. Paige and Dr. Shannae discuss the markers that can point to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), how attachment disorders in infancy and childhood can indicate a future diagnosis, and, ultimately, how God has designed our brain to rewire itself and heal with professional guidance and healthy relationships.Paige's TakeawaysWe can still heal from a poor attachment from childhoodThis does require other people: professionally trained counselors or wise individuals who have navigated this on their own successfully. Let others speak into you to help you grow and heal.It's okay to make mistakes - but repair is necessaryAs parents, mistakes will happen! The important thing is how we resolve the mistake with our kids.Go to them. Apologize (be specific), assure them that you will work to make sure it doesn't happen again, and ask for forgiveness.Communicate clearly: Let your yes be yes, and your no be noWhen navigating relationships with someone difficult/toxic, etc., mean what you say! Whatever boundaries you make with this individual, stand firm. The more consistent you are with keeping your word, the better for your relationship.Doing this also models to your children how to stick to their word and stand their ground as they navigate their own relationships and convictions.Paige ClingenpeelQuestions About the Podcast?

In this episode, MaryCatherine McDonald PhD and Paul Krauss MA LPC discuss the concept and emotion of Joy. During dark times, it is difficult for most to "think of joy," however, Dr. McDonald has completed some compelling research and investigation into the benefits of "exercising Joy" along with expressing the troubles in our lives. MaryCatherine McDonald, PhD has authored a book entitled "The Joy Reset" --which helps readers identify barriers that prevent them from accessing joy—hypervigilance, emotional numbing, fear of loss, conditioning, guilt, and shame—and then redefines positive emotions as those tenacious, gritty, often tiny experiences that appear within the darkest moments and form the very foundation of psychological resilience. MaryCatherine McDonald is a research professor and life coach who specializes in the psychology and philosophy of trauma. Her work focuses on thinking critically about how we understand, define, and heal from traumatic experiences. She has published several research articles and book chapters, as well as three books on trauma. In addition to her academic work, Dr. McDonald coaches individuals and corporations and creates trauma-based curriculum for non-profit organizations and schools.

What is an Instinctual Stack? Do you know yours? We all have three instincts. None of us are absent one. However, one does tend to be dominant.  But what are instincts and how do they influence how each type shows up in the world?  In today's episode, we revisit our conversation with Elan Benami, creator of the EnneaApp and author of  Enneagram Patterns & Poetics, to provide you with a great overview of Instincts, Subtypes, and the Instinctual Stack and how they can play out in your personal and professional life.    About Elan: Elan is an LPC with a MA in Transpersonal Counseling Psychology and BA in Philosophy. In addition to his own private counseling practice, Elan is the Clinical Director of People House - a non-profit that provides affordable counseling in Colorado. Elan was introduced to the Enneagram in 2008 by his first therapist. He then did intense studying with Lori Ohlson, who was his supervisor. Claudio Naranjo was Lori's primary teacher, so there is a deep kinship with his work. Other major Enneagram teachers who have shaped Elan include Helen Palmer, Russ Hudson, Don Riso, and Sandra Maitri. Elan and Lori Ohlson have co-facilitated many Enneagram classes/workshops, most of them in the narrative tradition. Through Lori's Enneagram material (of over 25 years of teaching the Enneagram), Elan created the EnneaApp, initially for the purpose of having something to quickly reference between sessions. Through the years, he has adapted the content to be more reflective of his own experience while also preserving Lori's lineage. The app has over 1.5 million downloads.

Dr. Jamie Lewis Saye, DNP, CNM, APRN, SANE-A, is an Assistant Professor in the Wellstar School of Nursing at Kennesaw State University and Clinical Director of the SAFE Center. A certified nurse-midwife and experienced Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner, Dr. Saye brings over a decade of experience in forensic nursing, trauma-informed care, and interdisciplinary community-academic collaboration. Her research focuses on strengthening forensic evidence collection practices, advancing survivor-centered policies, and improving health and legal outcomes for victims of violence. Dr. Saye recently led a multi-site pilot study across 13 sexual assault centers in the Southeastern U.S. that compared blind swab and speculum-assisted vaginal/cervical specimen collection methods. These findings inform both clinical training and policy, supporting survivor-centered and trauma-informed approaches in forensic nursing practice. Resources: Saye, J. L., et al. (2025).

It's not too late to reset the screen-time limits and boundaries you've set for your kids—and the reasons to take action are becoming increasingly clear.In this episode, Dr. Carrie Mackensen joins host Nicki Petrossi to unpack the science behind interactive screens and short-form media and how they impact children's brain development. Her clear, accessible approach helps parents understand what's happening neurologically and how to make informed choices.Our brains operate using two key systems: the emotional center, which rewards us with dopamine when something feels good, and the thinking brain, where we analyze, reflect, and make decisions. Activities like riding a bike or climbing a tree provide healthy dopamine boosts through effort and engagement. But scrolling social media or watching endless YouTube Shorts floods kids' brains with 100 to 200 times the dopamine—without any effort—bypassing the thinking brain entirely. Over time, this leads to an underdeveloped thinking brain and an overstimulated emotional center.The result? Kids who are increasingly anxious, withdrawn, emotionally dysregulated, and lack critical thinking skills. The good news: It's not too late to make a change. Thanks to the brain's neuroplasticity, you can help rewire these patterns and restore balance at home. Dr. Mackensen, a clinical psychologist, parent coach, and mom of two boys, shares her proven approach in conversation with Nicki from Scrolling 2 Death. Together, they offer practical tools and clear screen-time guidelines to help families create healthier digital boundaries.This is an episode every parent needs to hear.Dr. Carrie Mackensen is a clinical psychologist turned parent coach, author, and founder of Successful Parent. With a PhD in Individual, Family, and Child Psychology and experience as an attending psychologist at Cedars-Sinai and later as Clinical Director of a high-end residential addiction treatment program in Beverly Hills, she now helps families navigate the challenges of raising kids in a digital world. Drawing on both her clinical expertise and her own journey as a mom of two boys, Dr. Carrie blends neuroscience, attachment theory, and practical tools to empower parents to set healthy tech boundaries and strengthen family connection.
