On this transformative episode of the “Better Than Fine” podcast, host and wellness coach, Darlene Marshall, helps us rethink everything we know about self-care. Tired of the endless influencer-driven trends, fluffy hashtags, and the message that wellness is something you buy? Darlene takes us back to the roots, uncovering how self-care originated in social justice and chronic illness spaces, and how it became a commodity in recent years. Darlene shares her personal journey with Ehlers Danlos syndrome and explains why real self-care isn't found in supplements or spa days, but in consistently meeting your foundational needs. Using a fresh, evidence-based approach, she introduces the powerful concept of applying systems thinking—typically used in business and design—to your own wellbeing. Discover how habits, routines, and feedback loops can work together to support your physical, emotional, and higher order needs without cognitive overload or decision fatigue. You'll learn why self-care isn't selfish and how it enables you to show up more powerfully for yourself and others. Darlene walks through Maslow's hierarchy of needs with a twist: it's not about climbing a pyramid but sending ripples of positive impact out into the world, starting with the essentials like sleep, nutrition, and boundaries.Packed with practical tips and compassionate insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim self-care from marketing trends and build lasting, meaningful systems for a better, more balanced life.

What if the most successful companies aren't the ones with the best perks or highest salaries, but the ones that have cracked the code on engineering authentic human connection? Nick Lombardino, Co-Founder of CultureCon, stumbled upon this truth during focus groups that were supposed to validate a technology solution. Instead, he uncovered a startling revelation: people weren't craving another digital tool; they were desperately seeking genuine connection in their workplaces. This unexpected discovery sparked a seven-year experiment that's been quietly revolutionizing how forward-thinking leaders approach culture. The secret? What Nick calls "engineered synchronicities"—strategic moments that feel spontaneous but are carefully designed to create the kind of authentic connections that transform entire organizations. In this episode of The People Strategy Podcast, Traci Austin speaks with Nick Lombardino about the counterintuitive insights that emerge when you stop treating culture as a nice-to-have and start engineering it as your competitive advantage. Nick reveals why the companies thriving today have abandoned traditional culture-building in favor of something far more powerful and surprisingly simple. You'll discover the hidden psychology behind why some teams feel like families while others remain collections of strangers, even after years of working together. Traci and Nick explore the specific behaviors that separate leaders who inspire fierce loyalty from those who struggle with constant turnover, and why the answer might surprise you. But here's what makes this conversation different: Nick shares the exact framework he's used to help organizations create what he calls "magnetic cultures"—workplaces so compelling that people actively recruit their friends to join. If you've ever wondered why some companies have waiting lists of candidates while others can't retain talent, this episode holds the answers you've been searching for.
